Just heard this today and really liked it.

It makes me think of the 60s for some reason, even though the chorus has a more anthemic and fist-pumping quality. Really memorable melody, pleasant singing. I actually didn't think it was Green Day at first.

Yeah, no, I guess it's really more of a 70s feel.

(i like the green day song too. not my favorite on the album, but it's catchy.)

this is one of the worst ballads but it's still pretty good, kinda limp for a single imo

how is it on a board where seemingly everyone thinks the Foo Fighters have been terrible since their first album Green Day get a free pass for their own much worse descent into generic alt rock hell?

foo fighters never recorded a song i like as much "last of the american girls," for one thing.

as much AS...
seemingly everyone thinks the Foo Fighters have been terrible since their first album
I don't think this at all. "Everlong" is an all-time favourite. Love "The Best of You" too.
I like this more than anything else on the album so far. I just found the 21st Century Breakdown thread after I started this one. I can see why Anthony compared it to Styx but that's not an inherently bad thing for me. Hm, you seemed more into this song on that thread, Jordan.

Agree with the Brian May and Mott the Hoople comparisons BTW.

everytime i hear the hook i think 'dude is singing out of his range'. decent track when it finally gets crunchy

Hm, the high note doesn't really sound strained or forced to me.
― Sundar, Sunday, 14 June 2009 22:26 (sixteen years ago)
it sounds right on the edge of straining to me - technically he's hitting the note but it feels overly controlled and self-conscious. doesn't feel natural to me at all, like he's really thinking about hitting the note instead of just hitting it

I like this song and think its a much better single choice than "Know Your Enemy" with its whole 8 words and stupid "wa-hey"s.

this song is pretty boring but also makes me want to barf.

guitar solo quotes the theme from full house
