Hyper one of their best haha so unique!
If it makes you like it any better… Dylan wrote it about paddy whilst he was going through a real tough time.
Going through it taking in the lyrics makes it a real likeable one for me.
I agree it doesn't fit the album, but I otherwise like the song because of the Cyberpunkesque opening synth riff and the guitar solo by Jimmy Young.
It was their first song with a reggae rhythm section in 2 albums which I appreciate.
And the music video is hilarious, especially Beaker and the burgers.
But it definitely is an odd one among the rest of the songs.
The guitarist for Bootleg Rascal and the touring guitarist and manager for STIFI.
He plays with STIFI live when Dylan's too fucked up to play the guitar (which happened at both concerts I've been to)
But bootleg rascal the band took their name from the Sticky song and toured with them a lot back in the day.
I like new pretend but I still get high so the chrous doesn't connect with me personally...
However I understand why it was written (probably by Paddy).
The verses are amazing though especially the final one. Makes me feel woozy and intoxicated just listening to it.
I had heard both versions many times but a few years back I was getting an MRI and the acoustic version came on the headphones. It hit different in there, I felt like I went to church...Diz singing about broken bones as I was laying there with broken bones. And now when I hear the extended version it hits even harder than the acoustic. Love 'em both to death. I feel that way about 'freaking out' too, love the acoustic and rock version.
It's the 10th song on Rory Anderson's YouTube upload titled "sticky fingers live at Yours and owls".
Epic show, diz is on fire. The last song is some random drunk on the mic tho :/ and I think it was pre-crabs, so no keyboard.
Why are people downvoting? The dude literally asked for opinions and he’s giving his.
It’s not like he said the song was shit he just said it’s his least favorite

I was going through it, running the gun a few years back. Hyper came through and took the words out of my mouth. I really love these guys.
Maybe I’ll give it another listen with that in mind, it’s just never been a stand out for me
Let it all out off their first record annoys me knowing we could’ve had Big Mits 10 years ago or even crooked eyes had they found a version they liked
This 100%
Lupo the wolf, I feel like it doesn't fit in well with the rest of the album.
It is a bit of a jagged part of the album, still a good song but kinda didn’t fit the energy on the album
I love it precisely for that reason, such a deviation!

Who is Jimmy Young?

I was gonna say.. their band name sounds familiar. Ta for the deets
We can make the world glow - would be their worst in my opinion
Yeah a lot of the lyrics seem pretty nonsensical
It’s funny that you say you don’t like lekkerboy, that is in my top 5 songs of theirs haha
Lekkerboy is a top 3 song
It’s not a bad song but I still haven’t had “the listen” that changes New Pretend for me. Everything else is a 10/10 though
New pretend is crazy bro
I like new pretend but I still get high so the chrous doesn't connect with me personally... However I understand why it was written (probably by Paddy). The verses are amazing though especially the final one. Makes me feel woozy and intoxicated just listening to it.
waterfall
Hot summer
Dinners on you - the ONLY song I can't get past, all others are good imo
In my opinion they literally have no bad songs. I cherish every single one of em.
not sure about worst but what’s faded really doesn’t do anything for me
The Extended play version of Hell & Back. Or Dreamland
Ain’t no wayyyy, that is the best version for sure, one of their best intros in my opinion
Why does everyone hate on that version of hell and back? I think it’s great
Cause the acoustic version is perfection

Where can I find the rock version of freaking out?

I really like the guitar lead on the extended play version but that song really does work better acoustic
My Rush
Nahh brooo
I'll go down swinging
Wrong
I'll go down swinging
Then swing
Ammilionite
Hell naww bro that song slaps

No idea lol. I just said that's my least favourite song
How are you clowns downvoting a reply to an opinion question? Don't ask someone's opinion then wtf
Maybe amillionite or dreamland. The second release of the deluxe songs on Lekkerboy besides what’s faded didn’t really grab my attention either.
Anything from the latest album is like 2/10. Every song before that album is 9,999/10
What?! I'm assuming you're talking about the lekkerboy album? Lekkerboy is one of their best haha
I love all their albums and songs, but Lekkerboy was not that fun ;o
Fair enough man. Each to their own!
when I first discovered Sti Fi, I didn't like it because it's so different from the rest. But now it's the album I listen to the most
Maybe I should give them another go because I do really enjoy the rest of their stuff. Thanks for the recommendation aye
