Bold strategy making the worst song on the album (according to RM) a single.

Nah, I’m pretty confident they’re wrong again. I mean, always wrong is a difficult habit to break.

King Missile's "Detachable Penis" will get more airplay than this over the next few months.

Were I a betting man, I would offer a bet on this one. I think it will be a sleeper hit from this album, on the strength of a video that grabs a lot of people (and I don't mean that in a Trumpian way). Alas, I am not a betting man, so your money is safe.

I still like this song too.

One of the album's stronger moments for me.

I still like this song quite a bit, and continue to not be able to hear the comparisons people are drawing to Backspacer and LB at all.

Yeah, I agree.

I'm no fan of either of those records and don't hear the connection.
