I can sometimes find this song a little grating too... but I love it. It's hot molten lava. Desolate and Heavy. It's a great track, it fits well on the album. But it's not something I intentionally listen too. And it could've been mixed better or expanded like the heavy hitters on the Zero single.

why are the vocals hated so much? i think their distortion amplifies the anger.

Yeah, that's just what I think. A lot of MCIS, well the heavier stuff, could often be described as angsty... this goes beyond angst into pure RAGE :)

This is one of two MCIS songs I don't care for much. The distortion on the vocals annoys me, and hides the emotion that this song should have conveyed more clearly. I think the song is the perfect length. A short but heavy chunk of death, as Trent Reznor would say.

5.2/10
You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities...

Even though it sounds very abrasive, there is a good song hidden within it. I think every band should have a song which they can go crazy on.

I'm giving it a 7 but that's only when im in the mood to listen to it. I'd score it lower on a day when I just want to chill out.

I might give this song a 9.5. I loved (and still do) the abrasive qualities. True alternative rock. Been waiting for the day to see if they've ever played a live version. Don't think that will happen. Lyrics are stellar when you're in a pissed off at everything kind of mood.
