The band explained that 'Bionic' is "about the passionate and cathartic relationship between the band and our audience. The intense connection live. Where everything that hurts and pains everyday doesn't matter any more. Escaping!". 'The Law' is "a tale of seduction and corruption. About getting your leg over with a copper and being caught with your pants down".Reception
Melody Maker were overwhelmingly positive, giving the single 4.5/5 and commenting "totally unstoppable and deliriously frenzied".
