 In a November 2007 interview with Paul Cashmere of Undercover website , Middleton stated that a couple of songs they had initially written for Vulture Street " were just too Odyssey Number Five based " , and that the first track , " Rockin ' Rocks " , was " probably the start of where we were heading " with the album " . Cashmere stated that the album was " the toughest [ he has ] heard Powderfinger sound " . Zuel reviewed two of Powderfinger 's more recent albums , he described Vulture Street as " a rawer , louder " album in comparison to Odyssey Number Five ; it highlighted Fanning 's " talent as a lyricist " and stated that it featured guitarists Haug and Middleton " dominating in a way they haven 't since their 1994 debut " . Zuel stated that there is a " real energy here that has some connections to early Powderfinger , " and described " On My Mind " as having " AC / DC <unk> " , and " Love Your Way " as " acoustic tumbling into weaving Zeppelin lines . " In his review of Dream Days at the Hotel Existence , Zuel described it as " [ having ] high @-@ gloss and muscular framework , " and stated that that was what " American radio considers serious rock .
