Still like the live version better. This is a little to languid.

The songs from this album have taken 2 years of listening here to interest me in seeing what might be on the rest of the album. Grew on me like a slow moving fungus.

Love the drums on this one (and most of their stuff). A definite highlight from High Violet.

That's what I keep hearing now ! Just try the double back beat on the snare. Harder than it sounds. |

Good album. My son saw them at Bonneroo a year ago, and I bought this on his recommendation. Not disappointed.
