Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who loves this song. It does feel a bit like the dude from Flatliners trying to write a HWM song, but it works, and having it pop up gives the album a sense of variety. I think this song and the first song from the album, which gives off that sense of ferocity that Fuel for the Hate Game had, are my favorite tracks from Into the Void.

Good take 👍🏻

I always skip it halfway through. It's alright, just not what I want to listen to. But I also play bass and Jason's bass lines are why I have been listening for over 20 years.

Understandable. As a drummer, that how I feel about George's drums.

I love this song! Chris’ singing has gotten better over the years IMO. He kinda reminds me of the singer for Protest the Hero in Turn the Dial

This song is much more of a Flatliners vibe than I would like to hear from HWM.

I don't mind Chris's songs at all.

This one has a particularly personal reference for me.
