Red Mosquito

Easily a 5 star song.
My only two issues:
1. The compression/distortion on the "agooooo" it does sound better on the .flacs however.
2. Should have been longer if it wasn't going to open the album.

do the pendulution?

"Pundulation" is sexier.

Ok. This ones comin up in a big way.

This is like a jaded version of Indifference (in a good way), great tune

5* from me as well.
Fantastic, just fantastic.

But can you hear Stone's little lick at 3:26 underneath Mike's little two-note picks? It makes me jump every time. It makes me wish Stone took over at that part and kicked in with a few heavy shreds a-la 'Present Tense' to end the song on an angrier and louder note.

I like it a lot.
I think Ament and Gossard should make an album together.

Absolutely.

they havent played it live yet

I am fully convinced this is the best possible opener to the shows this year. Eddie - if you're hearing me...Brooklyn 2 please!

Just love it!

I can see how it'd make a great ending track.

I get what Stip means by wishing Eddie wasn't there, but I also love the way he finds to be there.

Makes me think of a much more mature NAIS in a way.

I really hope they play this live in Brooklyn!!

I am fairly certain McCready is not even on the studio recording. All guitars are stone.

Dunno...it's so emotional that it would be hard to follow it up with a rocker right after. I'm thinking it'd be a good encore opener though.

"Release" and "Long Road" are both emotional and have been openers.

Yeah but this has a much bleaker feeling than those.

I wonder if they'll just have Mike do the acoustic part of this song.

True.

I think one of the things I love about this song is that it remains groovy, like a lot of these tracks. A dark track like this could've really lacked a head-bobbing groove. But you could really dance to this, naked, around a fire, at Stonehenge.

It's got that tribal element. Calls to mind the end of ATY.
