    Probably would be that much better if Brendan produced the track too.

    Yeah. Love the songwriting. One of the weaker albums production wise.

    Damn straight, one of the best songs.

    I have felt like the character portrayed in it more times than I care.

    I know, right? I still think of it as a "newer" album which I guess technically it is, but it's fucking 9 years old!

    Just listened to on my headphones 3X in a row.

    Two encores this morning with my coffee while sitting on my deck looking at a freaking great day. I'm going to listen to it again on my mountain bike too.

    Shania Twain. Come on, man.

    The selfish are all standing in line just followed it on my random play!

    Went to 5 shows during the S/T tour and saw them play it 3 times also saw it at MSG in 2008. Never thought much of it. When I look back at the setlists it always stands out as the weak link

    did someone say Shania Twain? how in the mutherfuck do you get her in Unemployable???

    whoa oh oh oh
    Fuck
    Never did mind Unemployable and listen to it somewhat frequently but now thanks to this thread it's going to take along time to unhear fucking Shania overtones.
    This thread may have been the songs demise to my ears.
    Fuck

    Man... we can't even agree on a song.

    Let's go to the basics and build from there. How about this? Do you think it's not very hard to look at Jennifer Aniston?

    I always thought the opening riff sounded like Kiss and then descended into a Sheryl Crow song. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

    I just can't love the parachutes, unemployable, big wave run on avocado. Perhaps my worst three song run on any PJ album.
