I like the fact that everything is recorded and mixed so well on here. in fact it doesn't actually sound like it is trying to be longer to me, it just seems like it is the way the song should be. For me it doesn't lose its musical sense in trying to be longer, or more complex. To me whether one enjoys the lyrics of this song or not, it is a fantastic piece of music, that for me at least, really manages to keep itself coherent. With the insertion of a nice little riff, we burst back into the vocal section of the song. This builds a little musical tension and then we are hit by the drums and move into a really excellent (almost Floydian) lead break section. Then we move to a nice minimal section that is essentially some volume swells.

Across all of this first section, whether one is enamoured with the track or not, the song doesn't lose any momentum, or get bogged down, it flows smoothly, and the sense of continuity isn't interrupted. The next staccato chord section with plenty of tacet's is also really cool. It is a really playful little piece of music and I think it works really well. When we move into the guitar lead riff, I love it. I went from kind of putting up with it, to enjoying it. We move into the somewhat unusual grunting backing sfx section, and that is actually one to grow on me. The first section is actually a really cool piece of hard rock, and I really like the way the vocal melody works with the rocking track. As an ex-stoner I can certainly see the connection to the two dogs at the party and that certainly makes sense in hindsight.

Initially I was a little underwhelmed by this track, as I found the lyrics to be a little too goofy. We have a sectional piece that has quite a few changes and sections to create the whole piece. It is essentially the first step into the world of epic tracks.
