"AWESOME FRIGGIN SONG!! I loved the drums! I loved how the delay made a rythym! I love the funky groovin bassline... it's KINDA reminiscent of London Calling... just because it's really freakin good. Awesome hook! Awesome guitar parts! I love it! I want the cd! I don't have any suggestions I'm a fan!"
