Oh yeah, it's catchy, but more in the annoying eurodance-way than a good metal shout-a-long if you ask me, and by
Pain-standards I don't even think it's that catchy; it's just too generic. Even the video looks more like Nightwish than Pain (part of it is production value of course). I'd say the only standout track from the newest album is
Have a Drink on Me, which does something a little different.
I'm not against artists trying to broaden their scopes, but for Pain it seems kind of pointless. I just hope that if there's a next album, this experimentation breeds something good by then, otherwise it pretty much seems like it's time to pack it in.
For those unfamiliar with the band, here's a bunch of other catchy songs from the three previous albums. (Yeah I have too much time on my hands.)
