I still believe this songs lacks a punch. Right after the end of each verse there's a pause when the guitars make a screeching sound - my ears are begging for a heavy interruption of the mellow flow right then and there.

Sneakily, this is one of the best headphone songs in the entire catalogue. Can't wait to hear the LP.

The bridge in this is so goofy and great. It’s like it came out of a weird No Code b-side.

(Stone writes guitar part, emails it to Jeff and Matt): "here you go, see what you think"

(Jeff to Matt): "let's put a fucking kazoo on it!"

(Matt): "gnarly"

Is that Stone singing "BAH BAAAH BAH BAAAH BABABABAAHH" ?

If you don't like this song but you want to figure out a way in, follow a different instrument with every listen. There are so many separate layers that are really cool.

Wondered this too. I hope so - I always liked Stone's nasally backing vocals. I always felt that to be part of the band's overall sound at one time and I can't think of a prominent Stone vocal on any recent album.

This song is basically Xmas for sonic ear candy; every listen offers something up new in a way a PJ song hasn't done for a long time.

To me it sounds like Brad hired Ed as their singer. And I love that.

Delighted we got this song. I've said it before, but I think it's got a Brad feel, and I might be RM's biggest Brad fan. Miss Shawn Smith, but having Ed on vocals is just as good.
