Okay, that song is straight FIRE

This is the correct speed

yeah, the guitars sound super Annie

[Chris_H_2]

i'm a big fan

[Vitalogist]

Haven’t listened to much new stuff in 2023. Lately I e been rediscovering my faves like Cage The Elephant, QOTSA, Tame Impala, Black Keys. And going even further back into White Stripes, Hives, Vines, and Franz Ferdinand. Been feeling nostalgic, I guess.

I bought the red vinyl variant of Guts that has this song on it as the hidden track. I'm never gonna stop listening to it.

[Strat]

Finally got around to checking out the new deer tick album and holy hell. Great front to back but the closing track is lights out. Really really feeling this.

Feels like a Stillwater B-side from Almost Famous to me.

[Mickey]

exactly, I mean, Barbie: the album created some good memories for me and is notable for simply being BARBIE THE ALBUM; I think the fact it got made and did so well is amazing (same with TMNT MM)

Amazing.
