Though I agree with Jorge's take on this, I have to say that this post helped me understand why people would dislike this song. If I heard in the song what you're describing, I'd dislike it too. This finally makes sense to me.Birds in Hell wrote:It's primarily the production aesthetic, though the performance itself seems to takes cues from that faux-bohemian campfire festival stomp-along vibe that I hate in popular music, so that's not doing it any favours either.
It's just an overwhelmingly unpleasant song to listen to.

Re: Lightning Bolt Survivor: Round 6
I was wrong earlier - the getaway vote is easier than the All or None vote, simply because I like these three songs more than the three songs left on RA (though I prefer Getaway to All or None)

To be fair, almost any combination of the songs on the album would be a terrible final four.LoathedVermin72 wrote:What a terrible final four. Yuck.
