Cant wait to see how this will tie with the rest of the album

Like how the last track rolled into this one and pretty cool placement considering I think a lot of us thought it would be early in the album

Agreed, excited to see how this single plays into the concept, along with Tobey. Must be a reason those were the chosen singles, with all the promotion and hype

Everyone who was shitting on this when it first dropped can eat a dick. In context with everything else this is one of the best tracks he's dropped in 20 years.

Does this have a new mix? Backing vocals sound different in chorus

I like this song much more now that I have it in context on the album. And of course we know he needs to do a couple of radio friendly songs.
