Verdict: Intimate enough to matter.
Something in Pistol made my shoulders drop. That is usually how I know I will write about a song.
On a second listen I caught myself matching their inhale. That is rarer than a clever bridge.
Gentle score only — 8.4/10. Intimate enough to matter.

Verdict: Sensual and sincere enough to revisit.
I heard Pistol as if through stained glass: color first, then shape, then the soft realization that the story was always about hunger.
The middle of Pistol is where the romance turns gothic: not horror, exactly, but the sweet dread of being seen too clearly in a soft room.
Sensory inventory: the synths smell faintly of rain on iron; the lyric sits close enough to fog a mirror; the silence between phrases is almost a second singer.
If scores are a kind of aftertaste, this one is 8.4/10. Sensual and sincere enough to revisit.
