This is very Foo Fighters to me not the bridge though.

This is rising up hard and fast for me. It might be a top 4 album opener. That bridge is gorgeous, the slow part then build to the furious ending. Mike is doing a lot of nice work in the background. That main verse riff is just so damn catchy.

Hot take: this one probably has the best solo on the album.

Yeah it was the correct move to make a right turn and slow down/open things up on the bridge. Same thing happens on “Who Ever Said” right? It’s a good trend. I feel like if this had been done during the BS LB era it would have just been pedal to the metal the whole way and thus less interesting.

Agreed. I see that comparison to WES, although I like SOF more, despite WES's excellent bridge. SOF has a catchier verse and more powerful chorus and outro.

Agree with all of this. It reminds me of Brother the Cloud as much as WES though.

The intro to SOF is a small portion of the synth clip we hear on the PJ IG and Twitter accounts. The recognizable synth part just starts to come in before it's cut off.

I wish they used the whole synth part. Or even as an interlude between songs, or hell even turn it into a song itself.

I totally noticed the Brother the Cloud similarities when I was in the theater.

I was wondering if that was the case

This feels like a Rolling Stones song at the beginning.

Love the swagger in the verses.

The bridge here gives me a strong Binaural / Insignificance vibe. Strongest part of the song.

me too, sad to have lost that, oh well

I think "we used to crash" is such a nice little surprise lyric, given its multiple meanings

Everyone is 100% clicking on this. Didn’t appreciate it on the cargo pants leak but I’m getting it now. It won’t top Sometimes as an opener but it will contend for that 2-4 spot. Mike and Stone are selling me on it.

This sounds a lot sadder/melancholic than the listening party leak.
