I think this song is literally Trainwreck 1979 2.0. They wanted to release a lead single ahead of the album that would get chart appeal and this it. In fact, I think it's a better blend of their sound and a "typical pop song" than Trainwreck was. They took the idea and enhanced it.

Is it a favorite DFA song? No. Is it how DFA usually sounds? Absolutely not. Does it suck? Nah, I think it's a fine track. It intrigues me what the rest of it will sound like.

I'm sure people will say "THIS ISN'T DEATH FROM ABOVE AGH SELLOUTS!" As for bands that lose their sound with popularity, it's not exactly that simple. Being a musician, the fire you start with is never the ashes you're left with. You're constantly looking for a new spark, a new idea, that will lead you where you want to go. These guys aren't starving hounds looking for their next paycheck anymore. They're creative musicians experimenting with their sound more than they ever were really able to, especially with JFK's understanding of electronic music production and synthesis. This is a natural progression for these guys for everything I know about them.
