The drumming there made me cringe though. Sheesh.

Not top 5 but not the worst song on Vitalogy either. Very strong song.

I don't know man, I'm just really not into Betterman lately. I'll almost take Sirens over Betterman nowadays.

Betterman is a great pop rock song. Not good, Great. I almost never seek the song out, but every time I intently listen to it I’m reminded of just how great a song it truly is. It may not fall in my top 20 or 30 PJ songs, but that’s more of a testament to how many wonderful songs this band has written.
