This song makes me want to punch things.

Specifically, the lead singer.

Every time this gets played I want my $20 back for the month. Geez, what a pile of slimy, stinking pretentious poo.

Didn't they misspell their name? Shouldn't it be 'Overkill River'?!

How about something a bit less pretentious. Maybe some Klaus Nomi.

Opening for The New Pornographers this evening. Didn't even realize when I bought tickets. Cool.

I was going to bump it to 8 but it's not quite there yet. Still a solid 7. Good album.

I didn't like it at all. But the last couple of times I've heard it, I turn it up becauses apparently my evil twin is winning and she likes it.

flush it.

I tried. I really really tried to give it a chance. This play lowered it even more, 3 to 2.

Boo.

They could have tuned this down a whole-step or so so he doesn't crack on that top note, but then again, would it have the same intensity if they did? A question for the ages...

Went all the way up from a 1 to a 3 for me this time. Hearing quite a little bit of the bad parts of Counting Crows in the vocals but actually like some of the dissonance in the piano - it takes some skill to make it anything but noise.

Yea! Maybe that's it.

I even like the cat on the piano part!!

Not sure why... Anyway, its cool

this is a good song. well, maybe it's a little bit "noisy" song, but it's good. yeah, good...

I like it alright. Reminds me of Arcade Fire.

kind of overwrought, huh.

I like your explaination as good as any.

You know, April Fool's Day is actually an appropriate time to play this song. It's like a giant joke... play a terrible song, confuse and confound the poor listeners, say "just kidding," and everybody has a hearty laugh afterwards!

This song is great as is the album. Perfect song to wake up to.

Just as Bill said right now, he'll continue to play this song...maybe more listeners will get to like it.

I just might but now it's not one of these days when I would want to listen to this king of singing. For now, I'll just give it a 5.

I would rather listen to commercials than this song.

Yeah, that rocked pretty hard. Definitely a histrionic singer but he fits and the lyrics are provocative and ring with truth. That makes all the difference to me.

and thats another thing.... why the heck is jonathan richman not on the play list?

I'm surprised this song brings out the haters, I like it's energy.

this is hurting my ears.

Jonathan Richman? ">

It's just plain dull to me. I'm thankful the screeching tenor is at least more tolerable than some others, such as Tim Buckley at his worst.

Bill is determined to get everyone to raise their rating of this song. I am already there. It is becoming my theme song as I work on my MBA. Not sure why but it works.
