Ed’s vocals are fierce! Love them actually. And yes the bridge is fucking tasty
❤️ think this is one of Jeff’s songs, or at least he has the primary writing credit

I can confirm that this has not been sent for radio play on a major rock station in Australia.

I like all three parts of it, but they just do not fit together or transition well. The bridge belongs in a completely different song. Maybe it will grow on me.

Funny in head phones I heard a count down after the bass intro. Sounds like which ever daughter counts down try

Oh wow, I thought it was a bad rip we had but it really does sound horrendous. Yikes yikes

Not crazy about the song either

Haha, the visualizer features the lyrics for the entire song except for the final rant

This is overproduced but fun and I like it. It'll sound better live.

At first it was meh, but now I'm really liking the song. Not sure what happened. The brevity helps.

The fact that they literally had Brendan o Brien remix and master self titled to obviously remove the harshness but then went full Tits with this is truly something

Yeah I can't stand the production talk but this thing is produced to within an inch of its life. Everything but Ed's vocals is smashed together and brought forward. But I guess it kinda works for me for a short little fun aggressive song.

Haha, this song is getting more and more fun. Listening with Air Pods now and am suddenly charmed by the "Container! Contain us!" (or whatever exactly) chants.

I'm too tired to be sure but I think the Spotify version sounds better than iTunes (referring specifically to audio quality/fidelity; they're not different versions).

It's great how there's no transition into the bridge. It launches immediately from the last note of the chorus, and it's so cool and different and you're suddenly in a vastly different place.

After a few more listens, I still think this sounds like little more than a semi-interesting b-side
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…
