It's a really good song, but it just doesn't quite hit the same level of fresh and exciting that RM does.
Fresh and Exciting is hardly the words i would use to describe our message board, trag.

There's a Pubic Hair thread that begs to differ.

What's so fresh and exciting about pubic hair? If that thread is to trusted, all pubic hair is gross, encrusted, and should therefore be eliminated at all cost!

if you vote for Red Mosquito, you're basically saying you hate Jack Irons

No way, snatch! His loose garage style bring a special element to RM that Matt can't replicate. It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing, baby.

Don't be afraid of The Change, Ruddo. I know it's scary – I've been there. But once you complete it, you'll be happier than ever.

biggest culprit for this would be the lack of Jack.

I posted this interview Matt did a while back, in which he discusses how he intentionally always hits his drums in the middle of the head. It's an odd choice for PJ, to attempt to forego more dynamic playing when many of their best-loved songs were written with drummers who took a more subtle approach. http://www.thetrapset.net/095-matt-came ... onspiracy/
