I think this is my personal favourite song of 2020.
Judge away.

I really like this song but I still would love it more without that synthesized filtered lead part; it "comes and goes" but it just doesn't have a reason to be there imo; everything else about the song *belongs*, yes even the wordiness |

I like this song a lot. But I don't like it as much as the four songs that follow it. |

This song has moments but I really don't care for the riff and Ed's delivery. |

This song has proven to be an unexpected gem. Maybe Ed’s best post-Binaural Pearl Jam song? |

I loved this one to begin with. It has also aged better than any other Gigaton song except DotC, for me. I was big on QE when I first heard it, but I now put WES above it. Quality track. My tiers for Gigaton songs: DotC, WES, CTG 7 'o clock, TTLW, QE Alright, Retrograde SBWM, RC, ND, BU Even the lowest tier is 3 stars. |

I wouldn't rate it over "Can't Keep" or "Man of the Hour" (and honestly probably not over most of Ed's Riot Act songs, though some of that is personal attachment talking), but I agree -- it's a great tune. |

This was said (or a variation) in the Never Destination thread but equally applicable here. A strength of this song is that while it is a straight ahead sturdy rock song, it has this feeling of building itself as it goes, and moving into whatever space comes along organically next. It has a few false climax moments, like the song THOUGHT it had resolved itself but then had a 'oh wait, but what if' realization and just keeps going. It's very patient for a pretty fast moving song. Really good lyrics and delivery too. Agree with Trag that the fuzz 'solo' does feel out of place. |
