I think it fits ok on album. My main puzzling on this song is why they put it out as a 'single' - it felt more like 'here's another song from the album' than a single. Haven't heard it once on radio.

I think that's what it was tbh

i think you’re right.

hear the cowbell
hear the cowbell in the night

This is proof that you can tickle all your musical tastes in a quick 2 minutes. What a bridge.

“AAAAAHHHhHHHH!!!!!!”

This is not not not not spritz.

I hope and wish yall can hear the atmos version. Matt’s drums hit stratospheric levels of relentless pounding.

okay, i love this song. 4 stars

You know... lost in all the potato talk is the much more important question...

WHY IS ED YELLING VICTROLA?!

I read it as he's calling the object of his ire a "broken record"

Oh now that's interesting... I like that.

The best I could do was try to somehow relate it to the "tunnel." But then it's this weird mixed metaphor and my head hurts.

So my wife loves this song. I think it’s the only bad one on the album. Sigh. I guess marriage counseling it is

Fuck it. This song is maybe better than spin the black circle.

There's such an in the moment energy. That final scream from Ed before that tight as fuck ending at 190 Bpm...

You don't get that scream by adding to others demos. Thats real intensity in the moment shit.

Sorry, ruddo.

I'd love for them to open a show with this. 2 minute onslaught. Welcome back pj

my wife could barely pick a pearl jam song out of a lineup. she just knows when i cocoon up with this stuff i leave her alone

I really love it in the context of the album. Its heavy as fuck, specially at the end

This song is most improved at this point. I HATED it upon initial release.

it works so well on the record. Something Special too. i can almost see the thought process behind choosing them if you dont consider they might land differently as stand alones


really its a whole album of potential singles.

should release WTS though

I love this song.

Ban Ruddo.
