the bridge is kinda annoying too, actually, but the Chorus is just too cheesy for me, and that is simply due to the melody it just sounds like a chorus you would hear from same no-name band on the radio.

and I loooooveeee Boyd's part damn. Unfortunately when we hear it live this summer it won't be in tune, but oh well :lol:

edit: the album cover is bad ass as well.

After one listen I'm definitely pleased and excited to hear the rest of the album. If the rest of the songs are on par with this song I will be happy.

I'm happy with it. Nothing groundbreaking, but better than most of the stuff on the radio.

Very solid show. The return of Spoon and first full band Stay Or Leave. Plus, I was there and that's always nice.

Not to get overly optimistic, but it seems like the band could be on a bit of an upswing. I'm really pleased with the single, and usually singles are my least favorite songs on an album, particularly for DMB. I think the album will be an improvement, plus Live Trax 15 looks awesome. Add spring and summer tours, and I think it'll be a good year for the boys.

I think it's a solid single.

Best of What's Around meets Typical Situation for the mainstream audience.

Listened to FtWIS after not hearing it for a day..... I love it.

Is that an actual sample of the War song in the beginning? Why Can't We Be Friends?
