ah i love this song so much

i think the lyrics are very political. I dont quite see it as a relationship kinda song.

I'm not really hearing any political tones on this...

What I am hearing is probably the most visceral and gloriously wild outro since Do the Evolution

well, its the chorus for me, the whole dont react, respond

I absolutely hate that as a political message, so I'm happy I don't view it that way

it's so good

Fun easter egg: the palm-muted guitar riff in the right channel from about 0:40 - 0:46 is basically the exact same riff Mike uses when PJ plays “Baba O’Riley” live, his guitar translation of the synthesizer part in the Who original. Not that it’s an especially rarified musical commodity — he is basically arpeggiating a power chord — but for a long time fan, there was a weird “wtf is that” moment hearing that riff chiming out of that right speaker. Pretty cool. (**sorry, I have missed some posts - I see someone else has made this observation already).

This song is among my favorites — it reminds me of the frenzied outro to “Ole” run through a full song filter, the guitar and bass buzzing and gnashing back and forth at each other, almost colliding but managing to get out of each other’s way just in time. Watt got a superb performance from them here.

This is the coolest fucking song theyve written since Binaural.

The guitars are fucking sexy as hell and Eds vocal melodies are insane. The song is insane. its so good!

thank you. that's why that was familiar

Yup this song is one of the heaviest moments since at least Life Wasted. The outro scream and solo have the energy of something like Save You.

Agreed. The ending is awesome and im so happy they didnt fade out

In fact there's zero fade outs on the entire album!

Great production idea

They just used this one in the opening montage on Hockey Night in Canada. Pretty fun to see.

Easily my second favorite song on the album after Got to Give

can't wait to hear how Ed will pull off that Vs. era howl at the end of the song. insane. great song.

i don't think he will. that's a pure studio-produced howl

I wasn't referring to the grumbly thing (which is effing cool btw). I meant his last "respoooooooond" howl. That's a throat shredder.

I'm still not over the fade out during Rival

I actually like that one - it feels more menacing, like something burrowing under your skin that fades out of sight but doesn't go away, as opposed to something that ends.

Oh man, for me I want more of that piano coming in at the end there. I feel like they were just kicking into what was sounding like an amazing jam, then nah, peace out.
