I don't care enough to figure out just what generic **** this is. I feel like I could have heard this on Carson Daly's late night show almost a decade ago. It didn't even have the decency to be fun contrived ****.

It's supposed to come across that way, unassuming in a sense, but it's not after you spend some time with its lyrics and the message.

I like the pause and build @ the 2:00 mark, but a lot of it tended to sound like Metallica, except for the screaming, which sounded like you can get from any of those types of bands. Could mosh to it, though.

Definitely good for what it is, I'd be cool with it in a party or club setting but it's not really my thing. 5/10

Some sort of free-form music; all over the place, yet stationary in its output. Overall, I didn't get the sense of what I was supposed to do or feel. Do I relax to it? Do I mosh to it? Do I dance to it? I didn't really have a problem with the vocals, even if they were just instruments here.

Is that... stoner blues? Neat. 7/10

Go ahead. I don't care at all if you **** on it. And Kiss It Goodbye are at least as much of a punk band, so * blows raspberry*.

Not bad. Sludgy-type heavy metal w/screaming that isn't too annoying and doesn't have too much of a purposeful affect for that type of thing. Probably better, contextually, however, as part of a complete album listen. 5/10.

Decent post-grunge / Alternative metal 6/10

So like, what kind of boring alternative rock is this that I'm supposed to care about?/10

I'm not super into new wave stuff, but the song had a lot going on at all times and it made for a pretty interesting listen. 7/10
