I love the song because I love Lindsey and it is indicative and typical of what he does. I keep humming it! And I keep listening to it.

But it ranks fourth to Did You Miss Me, End of Time, and In My World.

What bothers me about Lindsey’s post-Screws output is that his whisper vocals are inexplicable. He sounds great singing straight on those This Is 40 tracks.

Even more problematic is the weird production where everything is quiet in the verses and then EXPLODES in the chorus. Why does he do this? It didn’t bother me in GOS because it was so wild and Brechtian—it was new (in other words, it bothered me but i liked being bothered). But it doesn’t work with SWS or here. BM was slightly more tempered.

Anyway, I see him working on some impulse in BM and LB that does harken back to a lo-fi version of Go Insane or Law and Order or even OOTC. I’m okay with it—it’s just i was hoping that Brother and Sister and the Empire of the Sun track would lead to more euphoric pop pastures.

I don’t blame him for not coming up with something as radical as Tusk or Prince’s Batdance because nobody else has done it either.
