  • Matt from San Rafael, AntarticaI love the power in the acoustic guitar. I think that's what Beck was shooting for. At the 'climax' of the song I always get a rush of excitement. It's great for driving!
  • Cornflakes from Bfe, TnPossibly the worst track from "The Information" and, for me, definitely lives up to its title.
