This song is still in the bottom three, but growing on me. I particularly like the ending. I know someone mentioned that they need to act their age, but I don't see anything wrong with this song in terms of how old they are. It's not like Ed's screaming his way through it. It's very controlled.

Agree that this is perfectly appropriate for their age. I think that chorus will go down as one of best hooks in their entire catalogue.

I think this and Never Destination are both just kind of meh, but that being said, at least there's only two songs like this on the album.

It's been stuck in my head all day, and I haven't even listened to it today.

Shit....the part right where mccready ends ripping your face off into the "whats your is mine" section is top notch.

I think that was just dime.

This song is the real outlier on the album. Glad that they can still RAWK out.

ND, WES, and SBWM are notches below this. In fact, this song should have been called “Superblood Wolfmoon” cause it’s metal as fuck and deserving of a metal title.

This song belongs here, on Gigaton. It’s fucking badass. Leave Brittany alone!

I love this song, but am I the only one who feels like it has way less bass presence than every other song on the album?

yep, one of my biggest complains about this song. the teaser clip has a louder bass I feel, so I hope it's a issue of the bad leak. someone needs to leak a flac!

I'm just dipping into this thread for the first time because this has been in my bottom three for the album. And I think it still is, though I'm warming to it.

That said, yeah, Matt lyrics always leave me disappointed.
