Now, let’s talk about “Asking for a Friend.” It’s got this kind of garage-ballad vibe, but there’s also some real heaviness to it. It might even be better to say that it’s “weighty,” so as not to insinuate that you can expect a metal song or anything.

There are moments, though, that the guitar parts feel inspired by sludge metal, and then there are parts that threaten to go off the rails, only for the band to come back down and plow right through to the climactic ending.

I dig it a lot, and I think it’s one of the better singles they’ve dropped in the past decade.
