    I agree it is a excellent fucking song. I just listened to it 5 times on youtube.
    I wonder why they didnt use this as the first single released?
    It is a great fucking song....best one in a long time.

    Excellent!

    i noticed they played nothingman as the second song of the set? I was like hmmm that never ever happens.

    Then i caught the refrence in the lyrics... " Caught a bolt of Lightning" and saw jeff wearing a black shirt with a lightning bolt. It was a wink wink to the new album, and a great fucking song as well.

    Ed is always thinking....

    I like when a song slows down a bit and the blows back up again.

    Wow, you are right on with this. This song has been heavily in rotation recently, since 2012. It has been a wink wink to the new album, all that time.

    Congratulations on catching this.

    I like it and may like it more with more listens, but...

    I can think of songs off of the last two albums that I like more - starting with "Severed Hand" and
    "Amongst the Waves". And I'm leaning towards "Mind Your Manners" of the three songs we've
    heard from Lightning Bolt so far, but then I'm a little bit punk.

    It starts a little Neil Diamond-ish to me, but once it kicks in, it's pretty good.

    part of it reminds me a little of "cheated hearts" by the Yeah Yeah yeahs...anyone else hear that?

    Great song, great stuff from Mike, but not thrilled about the chorus. Still think the best song in the last 8 years is Unthought Known.

    From the rough cut I heard, I thought, unthought known. That is in the top songs on Backspacer. I don't really want Backspacer II.

    I guess LB is the "U2" sounding song, didn't like it it that much, maybe it will grow on me. I like MYM much more...
