Reminds me of Rush, and not in a good way....

In the RP context, Radiohead is the box —- far and away the most played artist here.

Better Than Ezra?  Once a month.

Who are "we", by the way?  Still suffering from delusions of grandeur?

No my friend, it's completely "in the box" and typical of the standard radio rock of the times - fits well with the two you mentioned.

You want "out of the box" then we want to hear Radiohead and Cake.

love this band, but I cannot get that joke out of my head from all those years ago.

I really can't decide until I've heard something by Ezra.  Bill - play something by Ezra. Please.

Same today. Indeed nice transition

When they were good they were great, and when they were bad they sucked big time... fortunatley this was one of the times they were good...

Nice transition from Calexico

Man, this just brought it back... Great song!

Heavens to Mergatroid.  The solo guitar crescendo is the most amazing guitar I've ever heard.

Good times, good times . . . 

Seen them several times because my wife loves them. They can be a lot of fun in concert, but seemed a bit burnt out the last two times...

This indeed sounds like a great live band. But even in this studio recording there is a lot of energy. Kevin's voice sound a bit like 10'000 maniacs Terry.

I LOVED them. And their music always brings back awesome "90s" memories...*sigh*

gosh, these guys were so great live...saw them about 4 times, i think, in the late 90's. lots of fun. i have fond memories of this whole album. don't care if it's dated, or not considered "great music". i like it a lot, still.

Living in the Great White North I've missed a lot of stuff like this, which sounds like it would fit nicely between Gin Blossoms and Three Doors Down on an American modern rock mix tape.

For what it's worth, I like it --- it's out of the box, and better yet, it's not Radiohead or Cake!

This strikes me as mechanical and antiseptic.

With the idea behind these lyrics, the song should be infused with emotion. And it isn't.

What happened to this band? I always liked their work.

Good explanation, bobby. I think you're on to something.

The video for this song was about a young deaf boy, and I think that's at least partly what the song is about. In the blood might mean that ways of communicating are passed down from our ancestors. "It's the way you move your hands...and it's the way you understand."

I take "In the blood" to mean passion, like bound by blood. Maybe the hero is suspect of a woman's past but he likes her.

"The band Better Than Ezra is number one on the college rock charts this week. Number two on the college rock charts? Ezra."

Norm McDonald, SNL Weekend Update

Is it possible for him to sing even more through his nose?

This song is unusually crappy. Blech.

music from the 80's?

Still having audio issues

I'm getting repeating segments, like a badly implemented echo.

This song is about AIDS or some diseased passed "in the blood"

Hell YEAH! Great song, good lyrics.
