I understand this opinion, being someone who couldn't stand the song at first. Over time, Great Day segueing into Time Precious Time now works in a hard to define, specific, frenetic way for me.

GOS (the title track) would have been a laughable single. Maybe I've been living in Portland too long, but no dyed-in-the-wool indie fan worth his salt (even the ones that love the Tusk album) would ever think that recording is cool or innovative. Now, I like the track and all, don't get me wrong... but to consider it as a missed marketing tool is kind of questionable at best. Just my opinion, as always.
