Amazon would have you believe that it’s a bible-bashing song. It’s not. In either meaning of the words. It is instead a concise criticism of those who misuse religion to get their own way. But enough about the lyrics.

Godspell is the second track that appears on The Cardigans’ new album Super Extra Gravity and without doubt one of the most catchy. One might think that when you’ve created a masterpiece such as Long Gone Before Daylight (which is slowly becoming my favourite album of all time), the next step forward would be backwards. I am pleased to report that this isn’t the case. Where Long Gone.. was a countrified rock-opera, Super Extra Gravity is pure rock, using the best bits from Gran Turismo, but arranged with the poise and precision of its successor. There are plenty of twists and turns on the way, lyrically as well as musically. But it confirms The Cardigans as the best band on the planet today.

Just don’t buy it on iTunes, ‘cos you’ll miss out on the two fine bonus tracks, unless you buy the right version, which has the bonus tracks, for the same price as the one that doesn’t. Ain’t it wonderful?
