hmmm. That is not good. To be fair, though, most videos suck. I'll try not to hold it against them.

They do look a lot more like... everyone else... than I pictured. I will hold that against them.

Good god that is bad. It makes an otherwise OK song suck.

Ass video for an ass song.

No qualms from me.

If it weren't for the two guys with emo haircuts, this video would look like a flashback from ten years ago.

The singer's voice even reminds me a little of Candlebox (or, you know, one of those bands).

Them's some boys look like they really didn't wanna do that video.

Far as the song goes, if the tempo were a bit quicker, I'd like it a lot.

It plods a bit, like a cast-off Nirvana/Screaming Trees/Afghan Whigs b-side that they thought was a little too STP-like.

my least favorite song on the new rekkid (which, I agree Dalen, is pretty damn good)

I actually like the song. As far as videos go, I don't even know what makes a video shitty or not anymore, it's been so long since I've honestly seen one; I lack a relative comparison sample.

I like the song and(the "and" should be a "but") the video reminds me of Days of the New (i think that was their name)

Totally. And spoon's right on. They look like they'd prefer to undergo a root canal.

And not just for the druzzzzzzz.

What happened to the scruffy, hillbilly ragamuffins that I've grown to love? This shit sucks! I guess that success in Europe went to their head.

I'm actually a big fan of DOTN. Or at least I was in high school. And I don't really see the comparison.

their one big video was like that...with trees/branches setting sun.etc....something like that

must have been in combination with their album cover after checking out some videos.....for some reason it's what it reminded me of.

I tend to agree. It looks & sounds like all the energy has been sucked out.

I refuse to look. The album's too good. Is it for "On Call"?

Yup. Really like the song's intro, but I'm undecided about the rest of it.

I'm coming around on this. I still think On Call is a turd and it's unfortunate that this it's the single.

Stick my neck out on this, album is a turd. "On call" and maybe "runner" slight highlights.

I really like it as well, but for me they'd have to go all Troutmask for me to turn it off.

I listened to it once, and it turned it off. Sounded like crap. And this is from a huge KOL fan.
