Reaction (Post)ITAT is my favourite song, but the amount of times it's been covered and sounds literally the same as each other, makes it pointless and less interesting each time.
This sounds like a 2000s rock band that's ran out of ideas in 2024 -

Replied to the thread TotW 06/10/2024 - 06/16/2024: GENESIS - Misunderstanding.PostWhat first got me into Genesis was hearing "Turn It On Again" on the radio in 1980, but hearing "Misunderstanding" on the radio as well also contributed to that.
