Not a typical Alkaline Trio song, but possibly my favourite. It was the first with their then new and current drummer and what a way to introduce yourself. Skiba was still struggling with his vocals here, but it works so well and you can really feel that he means what he is singing and shouting. They've pretty much done a song that should be 4 or 5 minutes fit in 2 and half minutes with another minute to play with. The first recorded track where Matt and Dan do dual vocals and it really works. Around the time of this they had major problems with the label and publicist and this is probably aimed at them. "The only thing that you ever really took from me were my records to sell them for dope". For me an absolutely great track with so much happening.
