Its got what might be my favorite part of the whole record
The part that begins with
"I've been down and i fell so far from grace"

Im disappointed i didn't get to gear it live, i hope its not a song they put away after this tour
Agreed. This is actually my favorite song off LB. Love it. Probably one of the 3 "funnest" songs of the whole PJ canon.
What are the other two: Supersonic and Big Wave?

Awesome :D
Though this isn't my favorite song, i guess we will see where it currently falls when we get there with the rankings, but man do i love it, and am floored how much it was instantly disliked when it leaked

Good question. When I made my statement I just assumed I'd put it into the top 3 but I didn't have another 2 in mind.

I'd say The Fixer and I guess Big Wave? One could say Gremmie Out of Control but I really dislike that song.

I really like Gremmie and dislike Big Wave. Different strokes...

I still don't understand the hate for this song. It's fallen back toward the pack quite a bit for me since the first few listens but at no point would I ever find myself thinking "this song is horrible". It's just a fun song with some great guitar parts. And the lyrics are better than expected. Could it have been better? Sure. The main riff during the verse could use something a little more interesting. But that's not enough to make it a total dud since the rest of the song is pretty damn good, specifically the bridge and outro stuff. Just embrace it!
