SOTM: "All the Way"

Post by Kevin Davis »

Didn't see one of these, unsurprisingly. Seeing how this has more live performances in the past week than 100% of "Binaural," it probably deserves a thread.

What do you think of this song?

I can't believe they added a call-response breakdown to this. Completely ruined one of their objectively best songs.

It's ok. The line about let's play 2 / 200 hundred years is awful. One of Eddie's worst written.

Honestly if he wrote a song about the Minnesota Wild i'd probably love it.

So, whatever.

But that is fucking lame that they dont touch Binaural. Their fucking masterpiece.

From wiki:
"According to at least one source, the song is reminiscent of "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall" by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan"

I remember listening to this for the first time with headphones at my desk at work. All alone, but feelings of shame and embarrassment just washing over me. I couldn't even finish it. It was the same way I felt about No More.

I'm rooting for the Cubs this year because, technically, if they win it all then this song can never be played again
