can't rate this... think I've only herd it this once... but seems much better than I thought BC ever were.  Certainly higher than a 6.8!  but maybe it is just the hops talkin'

Muse- Knights of Cydonia needs to follow this song... something about the twang in the chorus that reminds me of it.

I recommend taking 10 deep breathes before posting any negativ{#Yes}ities.
It's slowed me down.

Yeah, I read through his posts as well and he is one negative f%^K.  I often feel that I have negative qualities but then I run into someone like this clown in this virtual life of ours and am glad I don't have to meet him face to face.

On another note, this song is such a charmer. It really echos this bands roots but brings it up to a modern level.
 
I want to echo what you guys have said. It's so easy to type out some vitriol when you read a stupid comment that slams a song or band that you like. It's almost instinctual. The better policy is to pause, gather your thoughts and then decide if an articulate defense is appropriate. Still there are times when I've ignored the better angels of my nature and ripped into someone. 

Big Country was kind of hit or miss for me, but I like this song.

much better if you let go of all that anger.  I don't know where you live, but
I could recommend a good shrink if your any where near Montana.  Also,
maybe listening to music, which usually calm's people, is not a good thing
for you.  Just an observation. 

 
By my count:
3 assumptions
1 unsolicited piece of advice
1 judgment
1 unqualified/ill-advised recommendation
1 odd speculation
1 strange sentence with a possessive form of "calm"
1 inaccurate statement

me thinks you need to let it go and let people have their opinions even if they are not the same as yours.........just an observation.
