Nice in the way that it doesn’t actually do anything to make you hate it completely and you can’t be bothered forming a dislike or an opinion because it is just so goddamn nice. All fuzzy round the edges with indie guitars.  If you like trite rhyming lyrics about going back to the start of a relationship and learning the basics then this is for you. Hammond’s voice seems strained and almost at odds the guitar, which for all intents and purposes are the only real strengths of this whole affair. But even that’s taken to extremes in an outro that goes on longer than a Granny at a wake.
