I think it might be the worst song they've done. Atypical Oasis lyrics with 60's influences (Dusty Springfield's Spooky, Zombies Time of the Season and Manfred Mann). So much for being"fuckin' out there". Liam's nasally voice overbears the entire track and it sounds like it was mixed wrong. And it's a single. One thing it does do is make Flick of the Finger better, because this is shockingly safe even though it tries not to, but ends up 15 to maybe even 30 years behind it's time.

Prefer it to The Hindu Times/Shock of the Lightning on 3rd listen, finally a first Oasis single that doesn't sound like Oasis.
Not what I expected for single, but great song. This is the album I want to hear from ex-Oasis

Flick of the Finger is light years ahead of this.

This isn't even different if anything it is more derivative than normal.
4.2/10

Once the novelty of this song being new wears off, I'll probably find it hard to listen to. Tickle my feet with the NME? (or enemy?) Christ. Would probably be good live though when the chorus kicks in.

At this point I don't care Boards of Canada is coming out with a new record and their marketing campaign is absolutely brilliant.

I really think vocals should have been more subtle this time, really loud in the mix.
And I kind of like the song, just very strange to my ears right now.

No amount of polish can make up for a poorly written song. This, however, is a very good attempt at it though.

Sounds mega. I think most of you are severly misguided and would have labeled Supersonic and Shakermaker as not being "single material" upon their first release. I'm not even sure why you post on this board. You continually find fault in every release, yet offer no blueprint as to what might actually satisfy your finicky pallate. Above and beyond, who really cares about singles anyway? Certainly not the discerning music fan.
The song starts out with a great jungle vibe. Sultry bass. Tasty descending keys. Shakers. Scratch quitar. Enter yet another stellar vocal from Liam G. Single tracked. Sung with authority. Great inflection. Unique melody. Flawless. Cue the Savoy Truffle sax section and we're off. The first pre-chorus doesn't over stay it's welcome and we're right back into jungle land where the vocal adds a nice bit of aggression in verse two. Back to dirty sax and the pre-chorus before a downward spiral guitar and staccato trumpets lead into big brass and strings a huge chorus of postivity that echoes the best strains of early Oasis. Back to the scratch guitar jungle for the third verse before a breakdown highlighting the outstanding production and dirty brass. One final round of pre-chorus before the climatic build that is just the right length, doesn't overstay it's welcome, and leaves the listener wanting more.
At 3 and a half minutes, Second Bite of the Apple is an exercise is brilliant songwriting delivered with passion and the best production that has ever surrounded a Gallagher brother.

And I kind of like the song, just very strange to my ears right now. i was thinking the vocals should be lower or something as well.....maybe flow with the song more instead of trying to save it, or outshine it.....something. Liam can't really propel a song anymore with his vocals alone....it's 2013, not the 90's.... i haven't given up on BDI, and i liked Flick of The Finger but this doesn't do much for me..... bring on the actual album.... God bless.

Now that I have let it settle in for a couple hours I have decided it is a hard song to listen to. The verses are dreadful. The chorus is great, but it doesn't make up for the awful lyrics and repetition.
I guess I can understand why this song was changed the most, the original must have been horrid. Sitek did what he could and it shows. But if this is the best that BE has to offer, I regret my pre-order.
Maybe this is an intentionally weak, b-side like tune so that the good songs will come as a great surprise. Weird marketing ploy though.

Alright, I've kinda changed my mind now...
I've listened to it a few more times and decided I don't like it. I can see it isn't that great of a song. It doesn't matter to me whether this song is a single or not, or whether I'd call it 'single material.' It won't be played on the radio where I live anyways and singles aren't always the best songs on an album. The production is good, yeah, and it covers up the fact that this isn't good songwriting. Overall the lyrics are kinda silly and I probably won't feel the urge to listen to it again tomorrow... I like Beady Eye. I want this album to be good. Flick of the Finger was badass. This song is just a bit disappointing to me now that my excitement has worn off.
No big deal, though. I like the b-side, and Start Anew sounds promising.

Serious question do you listen to any bands post 1998? Serious answer: Go Fuck Yourself. Quick survey reveals 1,938 albums dating from 1999 to 2013. Boards of Canada need to go beyond their f'ing Kraftwerk collection and declassified military films.

C'mon man we should have a constructive conversation a dialogue.
I think the song sucks it is a motley mixture of the Zombies, Manfred Mann Chapter 3, and The Beatles. Even the mix sounds a little strange, but I won't comment on that till I have a higher quality copy.
When I compare this song against Tame Impala, Real Estate, Wild Nothing, and Beach House it does not stack up.

That album held no comparison to an Oasis album but at least Noel's a consistent songwriter. I'm hoping some of the BE album tracks are better than this song though. If this and Flick of the Finger are the best they have to offer, things are not looking great. However I liked Wigwam or Morning Son better than any of the DGSS singles so, I'm staying optimistic about what we haven't heard.
