Great tune. More an 8.5 than 8...
I definitely have to check out more of their music and get hold on some CDs.

Great song, but this is part of an overall 'concept album,' and is best heard in the context of the entire album, which is terrific.

You can tell, listening to this song, especially the end, that the story continues... check out the full album. You'll thank me.

You are judging by my highest rated songs at this limited station as your determinant as to my personal music taste. You would be absolutely amazed were you to spend at least a couple of hours listening to Fredro radio (my own personal radio station) and realize that I listen to music from the earliest recordings of music at the turn of the century up until the latest releases from bands from every musical style, genre and literally every square inch of the globe. I just do not like these particular few bands that I mentioned. I do not use time, genre or any other generalized criteria to determine whether I like a song or a group or not, just my ears, just my ears...........{#Wave}

Good nerd rock.  Saw them this summer @ Lollapalooza. It was nice but I would much prefer them in a small venue.

I second that motion.   Please add it to the playlist.
