I'd been fully annoyed by this song at least 5 times, but I guess I didn't turn it up loud enough or something.  I think I get it now.  Still a bit repetitive, and the "hey hey" is a bit grating, but not bad.  4 -> 6

This fully freakin rocks.  While being very musically different the pace and rythm of the song is reminding me of both The Tea Party's Edges of Twilight album and Live's Throwing copper.  Regardless of why it reminds me of stuff it sounds little like I bloody love it.

I was going to rate this song a 5, but bumping it up to a 6 for the pure excellence of the comments here. (still giggling about the Cossack dance)

Credits Richie Havens as one of his "early influences"— we actually started singining "Freedom" during the intro...

I should learn to skip songs that make people do a Cossack dance.

At first listen the "HEY HEY HEY HEY...."  and generic pentatonic melody had me rating this a 4.  Actually the HEYs probably didn't ruin it, I'm not totally against some yelling in a song, nor repetition for that matter.

The last couple of times I heard it, I gave it my best try, but frankly it's more repetitive and boring than I thought.  It has NO chord progression!  Maybe the lyrics have something to them but I haven't really paid attention to them yet. 

I don't consider myself very picky outside of the realm of pop, but I might have to go down to 2 on this one.

 
Perhaps you're analyzing it too much.

Bumping this to 9 - and doing a Cossack dance to the "Hey! Hey! Hey!" part of the song. (I think I sprained something.)

Given that this isn't Mellencamp, that's not a terribly relevant comment.

...that's more-or-less my take on burlap to cashmere; very formulatic structure to most of their music which i've heard, almost like auditory clip-art...i repsect them branching out, i respect the musical ideas they pursue, but their execution seems to lack a certain spontaneity or sincerity at its core, which makes it fall flat upon closer audition, by contrast to how initially ear-catching it may come across at first listen...

...fair enough - if the balance of the album doesn't come across as a paint-by-numbers production, they've earned a clean slate...
