It would be worth suffering through all the crap music on Riot Act through LB if they were squirreling away the best tracks for a final, truly great album. But that's just a pipe dream.

Oh come on... Theres always a chance...

About as much as Layne Staley coming back and recording with Alice in Chains.
No, he's dead. Can't come back from that.

Well now they're going to play that in Adelaide. I like what you did.

Probably 4stars but higher when placed in the album context.

I like it, just not as much as I did when I first heard it. 3 star song, particularly strong for its era.

It isn't. I think it showcases their weaknesses more than their strengths as songwriters. Yes it's kind of cool but they didn't manage to develop it into a very good song. A missed opportunity.

That would've made it darker, perhaps even moodier. Good thinking.
