[VGMAddict]

@cowboydanisoutofgas errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrr, no. -_-

[RagnarokDreamer]

Discovered this band due to Rush, the greatest band of all time. Rush always introduces me to great music.

[ROOTSnBLUES2009]

What a great group! Can't wait to see them live at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival this August!

[nirvanawg]

What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?

[mt2ube]

@nirvanawg I know him, and he does.

[helloimtrey]

@nirvanawg i know him and he does

[vladito123]

[ShadowCrashed81]

@vladito123 Self titled album.

[JaYnA09]

@vladito123 broken social scene- their self titled album

[kevinflo]

Everything about them is hipster except for the fact that they actually make good music.

[avayaize]

the guitar tune is so similar to the seabellies- trans ending! haha.

[OsamasBeard]

geddy lee

[TannerGr8rix]

I just noticed the Do Make Say Think joke they snuck in. 3:31 That's Ohad Benchetrit and Charles Spearin. Both of them are members of DMST, an instrumental post-rock band.

[machoTit]

@TannerGr8rix hah! good spot. i used to love DMST, when they were instrumental! :P

[timhartsou]

Hi guys, Can someone tell me what is the song about, I dont get the "Fire Eye'd boy " I love the melody but dont get the concept of the song....

Thnks

[kleenexforlife]

ummm NO

[meganthemagnificent]

Supposedly it's about someone after smoking pot? Fire Eye'd boy as in his eyes are red. But I just seen that written here lol, it's probably not true.

[jagrande3k]

Thanks!

At least it gives some light!

Anyways Great song!

[McFishGill]

Is it me, or does their coach look like Karl Marx?

Just saying...

[StarbrockEagleslam]

@McFishGill He always reminded me of santa, probably because of the red jumpsuit/ beard combo.

[frink60]

geddy lee is fuckin awsome

[sflowmusic]

hahahah awesome!

[tehlon]

Mineav... first off you are listening to a video version uploaded on youtube, not the best quality. Second, most of there music has sort of a gritty, unpolished quality to it. They seem to strive for this type of sound.

[Mineav]

I have the album. The live versions are so much better, typically. It's just horribly mixed--the vocals, lead guitar levels are way off.

[deliriousdesires]

mineav, if you find the band not that good then jesus, don't flaunt your opinion around, keep it to yourself, they arent the best, but they're still good and a lot of people like them. and i agree with tehlon

[Mineav]

I think they're an amazing band--one of my favorite. I think whoever produced this song for the album did a terrible job--if you don't know anything about mixing and producing music, then maybe you shouldn't comment. It's a great song that got a horrible treatment on the sound board.

[scuzzlebutt]

sounds bloody perfect to me =)

[Mineav]

To each their own, I guess. Check out their live performance of this song on the David Letterman show--I think it's more of the sound (louder vocals and lead guitars) I would've looked for in the finished product. Hell, I still like this version--I just think it could've been so much more.

[Mineav]

Great song, horrible production. Whoever produced/mixed this song should be really fucking embarassed. Great song, horrible mixing and all around production.
