Better than Fatal?...
That's preposterous!!

4 stars for me. I really like it but 5 stars are reserved for the best of the best and this isn't quite there for me.

I don't really get the hate for this song. Seems to be rather polarizing among the fan base. I think it's a solid rocker, plus Matt is pretty amazing. Re: Fatal, oh how it's nice to think what Binaural could have been. Add Sad, add Fatal, keep everything else, maybe add Education, and Binaural become my favorite PJ album. It's pretty damn good as it too, but I just really like Fatal and I'm baffled as to how / why it was cut.

It is great, but not better than Fatal.

Agree. I've always had a soft spot for this one and MFC.

Anyway, some things that make this song brilliant:

*stumbling, tumbling chords mirroring lyrical anxiety/uncertainty
*drums also halting, stuttering, unsure
*great guitar sound
*until the bridge, this bitch doesn’t stop
*the bridge! Fuck me it’s simple, and wonderful. Heavenly sounds and ALL GODS’ DIIIIIIIICCCCEEEE
*hahahaha

This is one of a handful of songs I didn't think much about until I heard it live. Specifically, East Troy in 2003, if you want to hear a great version. Loved it ever since.

My love for this one totally expanded when I saw it live. 7/23/06 was perfect.
