Re: Something Special
For the record, wasn't B yelled at for posting the Running thread when there was only a 30 second snippet? So the standards are lowering, eh?
2 out of 5 stars for the 30 second clip

I'm not the biggest fan of this side of Pearl Jam, but this melody has been stuck in my head ever since the clip from the MM commercial.

Re: Something Special
I do like the weirdness of the distorted bass, I think the guitars sound more natural than on either of the previous songs; I don't find the song's presentation too schmaltsy, even if the writing is

Re: Something Special
I think it’s just weird to have the cursing in what is supposed to be a more mellow and sweet song about someone.
