    I like how the lyrics and vocal melody have been changed, but the thing that bothers me the most about this one is the strained vocals and how Dave is singing out of his range...about the only song on the album, from the clips I've heard so far, that he does this on.

        I like the intro. I hadn't heard that on other clips...
        You're gonna hear the angels sing...

          Hmmm, Dave is doing the out of range thing a little here.. At least it's buried. To be honest, it's no different than what bass player would be doing.

            Ahhh the "new octave" is back. Well, every track I have heard so far besides this is KICKASS.
            You can't win them all, but I'll listen to the whole song to judge.

                  This is the worst on the album...

                  Sounds like it should be on A Little Ain't Enough...

                      I love this tune. That distorted bass part with the guitar solo is sick!! Reminds me of the end jam out to Drop Dead Legs vibe.

                        Its a solid tune.

                        The entire album is DAMN GOOD

                          This is the song that I wouldn't share with anyone when discussing new Van Halen...

                          The oxycontin meets helium vocals is the same high range crap that nobody around here liked when Dave first started doing it on ALAE...

                          Although he sings in the high register better than he used to, it's better he keep it to a minimum...

                          The jamming in the song is cool as anything on the album, but the MTV theme song sounding riff sounds way too sleeze rockish and dated...

                          Another one for the cutting room floor...

                            Well cut it then.

                            This is the 21st century there is absolutely zero stopping you.

                            I can't understand this ridiculously prehistoric attitude people have saying that an album should have less songs. Maybe in the olden times of LPs that made some sense but not now, you want as much output to choose from as possible.

                              I don't really think in terms of singles... but this song would be great for a beer commercial
