Album Notes & Community Reviews
Rapidly shifts between frantic, aggressive thrash metal verses and soaring, dramatically melodic choruses. The track's manic energy and cryptic lyrical references to suicide made it a surprising, era-defining crossover hit for the alternative metal movement. Its success propelled the 'Toxicity' album to the top of the charts and cemented the band's entirely unique position in mainstream hard rock.
