5 stars for sure, but it needs careful placement in a setlist.

i love the initial trials during the end of the '95 Vitalogy tour, though Yield and Binaural tours are where it's at.

I could convince myself that this is their best album opener. Also might be the best production of any of their "rockers."

I could do the same if Go and Last Exit didn't start their respective albums.

I really like this song, don't get me wrong. But this is another one that RM reveres in a way that just doesn't make sense to me. Still, it's a good, solid song that I'm always glad to hear.

definitely a top shelf song, that's a hell of an opener for a hell of a record, that riff, those drums, and BAM. Instantly brings back the joyful memory of listen to yield for the first time(s), instant replay song too.
