    My fave on Self Titled.

    Heard it in Adelaide '06. Terrific song live, my favourite off that album behind Unemployable. If there's one song that I just didn't really get into before I heard it live, it would be Army Reserve, followed very closely by Insignificance.

    Sometimes I can't even listen to I got ID..... I felt that way about myself in H.school. Even now @ 29 I choke up when I hear it live. I kno, Waa play the violin! But Army Reserve is great... Love it also...

    I like it, I can't fault it really. But then I seem to be like that with a lot of songs where people go 'meh' to.

    It's Alright!...Definately NOT the Worst Song on the Album...:)

    It's definitely one of their most underrated songs.

    Force of Nature reminds me of Army Reserve- they are two very good songs that don't strike you as being such at first.

    in 4-5 song left to erase from my dream live list..amazing..eddie voice in his best
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

    I am NOT a fan of the Army Reserve.
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    This track is greatness. That fat bass line is just great.

    It's amazing how Ed really got into the heads of military families to write this from their perspective. I saw "Brothers" over the weekend and it made me think of the song. So many victims over here too.

    really loved the ACL taping but thought the audio was a bit off - mike's guitar was high, stone's was barely audible and ed's vocals were high. might have just been my tv though...

    It seems to be a polarizing song. To me it's easily the best on S/T and one of the top 15-20 they've ever done.

    Then again i love Help, Help too ;)

    I've LOVED this song since the first time I heard it.

    Huge fan. :)

    Very good song, not great IMO. Maybe a 7 out of 10. For PJ standards that is. Its a 23 out of 10 when compared with everything else.

    such a fantastic song!

    the very first time I heard it, it hit me. those guitars, Ed's voice, the lyrics, everything.

    love it! 8-)

    I would flip if I heard the song live. :mrgreen: but in a fantastically good way!

    I love it. My favourite on self titled. Underrated.

    I saw this at Camden 2...5/28/06
    It has a really cool energy and groove and feel to it live

    Love the song... no need to rank it! got to see it in 06 at the Meadowlands, but i did not know the album at that time.

    I was surprised it never made an appearance at the spectrum shows, but that is why we keep coming back... to see that elusive song we have not seen in a while.
