Hope that is just a song for occupy because it wasn't very good, and definitely not CD worthy

Just in time! I forgot my headphones so can't listen to it at work today, but I'm extracting the audio and will load it up on my MP3 player and give my response when I get home from vacation! Hope I don't miss too much while I'm away!

Just seems like a forgettable song, I don't really have the urge to play it more than once.

agreed matt.

It took a couple listens for me, but then it grabbed me. Writing it off so quickly is just silly :)

You should see what happens after you listen to it like 800 times...you actually see god! ;)

I'd really like to hear the track without the other audio clips over it so I can tell exactly what all is going on in the music.

I like the song. But only as something tied into the Occupy movement. When viewed that way, the song works for now and the way the band are thinking this very minute.

However I wouldn't like it on the next record. When listening back to HIPT, I can't help think that when they brought the more political motives into the songs that it tied them down lyrically and made the whole songs seem plainer in general.

The other aspect is that this doesn't fit in with a lot of the songs we've heard from the band for this next record. It's a little more different that what we've seen and because of that, I don't think it should be on it. But that said, because it's different is the reason why I'm liking it.

I'm also not real crazy about the political theme, or that the lyrics don't have room for interpretation. However, I do like the music a lot. I like that the guitar has a different sound than the previous albums. Raine's vocals sound a little more inspired than previously. Drums have a catchy, fun beat to them. I could bounce down the road and enjoy this. It's just catchy as hell. I know everyone doesn't want catchy, but its fun as hell. Definitely had it stuck in my head since I first heard it, whenever that was.

The more i listen to it the more i like it. But i agree with matt i want to hear it wihout all the audio clips. Is there going to be a mp3 released of it. And i think it would be good to put it as a bonus track on the next album.

Guys the song it's good...of course it's not on level of The Wolf or If This Is It but it's good...the guitar tracks are amazing, the bass it's good and the drums it's catchy but good...Raine's voice it's inspired and better that HiPT and some song of BB...i'm looking forward to a mp3 release...when will be released?
