Album Notes & Community Reviews
Opens the 'First Impressions of Earth' album with an upbeat, interlocking guitar interplay reminiscent of the band's celebrated debut. The track marries a polished, driving garage-rock rhythm with Julian Casablancas's characteristically nonchalant, philosophical vocal delivery, making it one of the band's most enduringly popular post-2001 singles. Its memorable music video features the band performing inside a slowly flooding room.
