I think it like this better today. Flows very nicely through my headphones as I'm working. Feels like this should have been the second single. Wonder why it wasn't?

it feels like more of an album outlier (like dance), maybe?

They never release the really good stuff anymore. It's how they remain relevant.

Very Led Zeppelin to me, with a bit of Faith No More at the end.

That might be it. SBWM probably felt like a safer choice.

Jeff's bassline in last 40 secs is just perfect.

The Vocal harmonies in the chorus are just fucking lights out.

As soon as that piano line came in the first time I listened my mind immediately jumped to NIN. That's classic Trent.

Im REALLY Excited to hear this one but how in the world can the Trump line not come off as extremely cheesy? Its a more direct name drop than even Bush.

it's a one off line that works well here, in the song and thematically

Bushleaguer has good music, but the lyrics ruin it. I don’t mind if a song has some forgettable lyrics, but those are just too overt. Nothing like that on this album.
