For the record, wasn't B yelled at for posting the Running thread when there was only a 30 second snippet? So the standards are lowering, eh?

2 out of 5 stars for the 30 second clip

Yeah but Sarge did this one and he's never around to yell at so we just let it go.

Don't defend me, bluestate. I can shoulder the burdens of this board on my own. :cry:

I'm not the biggest fan of this side of Pearl Jam, but this melody has been stuck in my head ever since the clip from the MM commercial.

I do like the weirdness of the distorted bass, I think the guitars sound more natural than on either of the previous songs; I don't find the song's presentation too schmaltsy, even if the writing is

Hmm, well I certainly don't hate it. There's a better than 0% chance that I might end up liking it.

I think it’s just weird to have the cursing in what is supposed to be a more mellow and sweet song about someone.

“Oh where oh where could my baby be, the Lord fucking took her away from me”
