same. But I'm not changing my vote from two stars just yet.

I bet you do at some point....

I don't hate it. Most of it is disappointing and more of 'that same kind of song', surrounded by slightly more quirky things that I kind of like.

It seems oddly structured, but maybe that's just at first. Everything but the verses, I kind of like. The shouty, out of breath stuff sounds bad, and the GSMF buildup at the end of the verses is the most More-of-the-samey-feeling part.

I like the la la la part. I like those chords that the song starts with. The chorus reminds me of something quirky that we would normally find half-finished on some outtake, starting way back at Evil Little Goat even.

I also kind of like the solo. At least I think I do. The jury's still out on that. It made me laugh but I'm not sure if it was in a bad way. It's Van Halen wankery so far up it's own ass that it comes out the other side kind of weirdly tongue-in-cheek. Jeff hammering those two notes underneath it sounds cool and is probably what I like best about that part.

Some good stuff but unfortunately the stuff I don't like takes up most of the song.

Im also just now paying attention to the rest of the band during the solo. That is really nice

There's definitely an ear worm beginning to burrow its way in

If by not being able to finish subsequent listens then no, you are not alone.

Is this being abbreviated as SBWM so as to not mistake it for Star Wars?

Why isn't anybody mentioning Mankind?

They were listing all the other horrible pop-punk spritzer mixers... Stone fits this style better than Ed for sure

This guy’s a cop. Get everything under a tarp and out of sight.

Wash your mouth.

The riff is more like Don’t Gimme No Lip than anything else.

I don’t really put much stock into everyone’s opinions anymore, and they’re certainly not going to affect whether I like the song or not. I think the song is great and this only makes me more excited for the album and tour.

when others zig, meatwad fucking ZAGS motherfucker.

Im definitely on this team

Voted a 3 in the poll, but could easily move up to a 4.

Well that's good

If this is the spritziest that Gigaton gets, I'm quite happy.
