"Opposite end of the groove spectrum" really gets me goin'.
Hence the boner.

It probably should be, but I drop a bomb like this nearly every single day.

I feel like it's something Shakespeare would've said if he was around today and into the X Games.

Also the guitar interplay is wonderful. Stone's rhythm is fantastic. The song is so punchy and crisp. Ed sounds fantastic.
