"As maligned as Oasis usually is for so openly idolizing the Fab Four, this track actually accomplishes what the Gallagher brothers have seemingly been trying to do ever since Definitely Maybe was released - i.e., update the Beatles sound and make it jam in this post-punk, post-hip hop world. How Ironic then that it is only through the very un-organic and sonic sounds of the Chemical Brothers that the sound of the backbeat era has finally fully met the breakbeat era (imagine the White Album released with Roni Size remixes).Die-hard fans of the electronic and dance genres will not count this track among their favorites, but first-time listeners and those fairly open to various styles of music can feel free to hail this song as a seemless blend of two very British musics, one old and one new."
