After listening to The Red Album several albums, this song is clearly the stand-out. This is easily one of the best Weezer songs. I'm glad that Rivers can still write a song of this quality. Lyrically, it fits in well with the retrospective perspective that Rivers give of his metalhead youth. Just as Rivers said in the opening track "I will learn by studying the lessons in my dreams." Pat's drumming, Brian's interlude and the build-up at the end with the harmonies are the real highlights.
