There are a few other songs that could've slid into the bottom spot, but this one takes it because it just annoys me more and more with each listen. It starts off well enough! The first minute or so might hop twenty or so spots to another tier of okay but forgettable songs. There'd still be some wariness with the strangled guitars and heavy muffle of sound the voice gets lost in, and then the whole thing becomes a tangled, chaotic, corrupted, whining mess. It picks back up and there's hope, but it'll do it again later and I just really dislike it. I don't care what the song is about. It disappoints and annoys and aggravates and I am happy to remove it immediately from any future listens.
This felt like it was on the edge of transitioning into a good Foo Fighters song.... but instead of going over it somehow managed to hover on that edge the entire song.
