not sure how it's possible, but i think i somehow agree with all three of these sentiments.

and even if you hate this song the 15 second snippet they initially put out still holds up like crazy.

It’s early days, and I’ve only heard the new album once. But this did feel like one of the weaker tracks on my first full listen.

But when I first heard the song I liked it better, so these things can change.

Still an odd choice for a single. There are so many better songs but I guess that's a really good thing since it's not necessarily a bad song.

I used the originals of SBWM and DotC in my itunes mix. Can really hear that the production comes out a lot clearer and stronger. I do like guitars in this, but not Ed's best song.

this song is creeping dangerously close to 5 star territory for me. I love it, and even moreso in the context of Gigaton. Best of the 4 fast songs on the album

I keep forgetting this is on the album and then it comes on and it just works for me. Really digging it as the second track.

I'd imagine this has already been said, but the placement of this song on the album works wonders for it

Like the end of who ever said flows perfectly into the beginning part of sbwm n the rest of the song hits perfectly after

Based on one listen of the album this might be the weakest track. But it's on okay song. I like the solo more and more each time. I think it's well tracked for the album.

i actually think its placement at #2 brings this down a notch for me. The tones are way too fucking similar to the first track and it all just kind of bleeds together.

This song is somewhere in the middle of Gigaton for me, and still it’s great. This album is amazing.

the hate for this song makes me like it more.

I think it reminds me of background music from some 90s anime or MTV show, and it makes me nostalgic for a time before coronavirus and Cardi B.

Kind of agree. Though I still really like it.

Being the second single did this song no favors.

I think this song seems superfluous after Who Ever Said which is the same song but better

This is the most coherent and concise thought you've ever put forth.

Probably my least favourite song on Gigaton right now. Still enjoyable though. Works better in the context of the album as opposed to a single listen.

Have to say this has gotten much better for me.

I actually love that part Ed plays and sings coming off the solo.
