Fortune Drive - My Girlfriend's An Arsonist

This is proving to be a challenge, after a few listens to this I am still finding it difficult to position myself, usually by this time I have set up camp on one side of the fence and can't be moved come hell or high water, but with Fortune Drive the only thing of which I am entirely sure is they have chosen probably the best title for a song ever. 'My Girlfriend's An Arsonist' has me dancing around the table and begrudging its simplicity in equal measure.

On the one hand I want it to do more, to experiment, genuinely surprise me, on the other I wonder why it should. Well, why should it?? As they stand Fortune Drive are pure, straight down the line rock n roll, as it should be: five guys rocking out with a swagger and a wink, in fine boozy fashion.
