It's not.
It's cool and fits well though. The Swallowed Whole solo is where it's at so far.

How am I supposed to hate you when you've been agreeing with everything I said for the last two days?
Oh, trust me, I still think you're a dick.
Thanks! and fuck you!
What a relief

It's good but I'd like to dwell a bit more on other little tweeks that saved the song for me:
1) Stone comes in strong to save the chorus riff;
2) Mike dubs over the poppy verse riff at some point and saves it by making it sound more rawk then brit pop.

I love the three "ummph! ummph! ummph!"s at end of Mike's solo
Made me wanna listen to the Whale Song

It helps that the studio version is a little *slower* and groovier.

I was just noticing how cool that is. There's some good guitar lines in this song.

I didn't expect to like it, but the effects-laden toms really add to that part. And I like that they're repeated in the background of the outro, kind of like how Mike's intro riff to MYM is repeated at the end as well.

What haven't been said about this one? I hear some Better Days and WWS in it. There's something really likeable about Lighting Bolt i don't know how it's gona age though.

I do really enjoy the first Mike solo. Good tone.

strat, put on headphones and crank this up. It's so good. Especially the final minute forty five.
