ps.... I think it was incredibly brave and admirable that Richard would so boldly write a song about his struggles with alcoholism. It touches me deeply.
Great song but the drummers fills near the end are horrible. Doesn't fit at all. Im surprised that the producers didn't eliminate it. Deleo brothers will make any band shine and these guys would not have made it without them.
@daysel123 You know, Ray is an AMAZING drummer (and not just 'IMO'. He's just damn good. Period). And those fills are actually very precise, and well-timed where they're placed in terms of technicality... but I agree, the rushed 'busyness' doesn't fit the reflective somberness of the song at all. I mean, it's not like it ruins the song for me, but I definitely would like to hear something more tasteful and appropriate in there.. if anything different at all.
Honestly, I can't say enough about the monster talent of ALL members of this band. Just wanted to add though, that RP has the prettiest voice. He can bust balls, and fuckin' WAIL true ROCK vocals... and just about make you cry at the same time.
@doofi80: nay problem. I'm glad that other people enjoy the song as much as I do. It is a brilliant record - and it's the perfect antidote to people whinging that there's 'no good music around these days'.

@colonica42: I'm impressed that an 8 year old likes Army of Anyone, as opposed to the Glee Soundtrack, for instance.
Fair play with that Colonica.
