Why is this so disliked among fans? seems like a song that would be fun singing along to live...

    It's a great song! And it actually is pretty diverse, which is contrary to what many fans say about it. The chorus is repetitive, I get it. But the song kicks some major ass. I think it's an unfairly shunned gem.

    Only song I skip on Binaural. The chorus just kills it for me. But last I was drunk I listened to it and really was digging it, so who knows.

    Its the chorus that does it for me.

    It would have made a much better lost dog track I think. It doesn't really fit on Binaural. I would have much rather had Sad or fatal take its place. It just doesn't really fit on Binaural. It is honestly the only pj song on an album I skip. I'm not sure why really. The chorus on the album is bad, Live it is absolutely atrocious .

    Dammit people, listen to the verses! They're gold, gold I say!!! You even hear Eddie roll an "r" when he sings "... seeds of Reconstruction." That's too cool. Too cool for school. I'll shut up now.

    Great song. Great lyrics. Haters, listen to it on a long road trip, preferably right after you depart, you will change your opinion...
    Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...

    It is unfarily underrated. The versus are sick, very funky PJ. The bridge is funominal...

    I love that song. Never skip it. The chorus isn't great but the verses and the bridge are cool
