Well, this is unexpected. Instead of ill-advisedly releasing the catchy, yet genre-defying second single, "What I Can't Describe," the Transplants smartly pull that one back and instead have "Crash and Burn" slated as the second single now.
I'm happy because this is my favorite song on the record.
Also of note is that it contains the most memorable line on the whole album (to me anyway):
Skinhead Rob:
"Still I beat a motherf**ker like it's goin' outta style/He tried to cheat me out' my cash, so I beat it out' his child."
Wow. :o

This song's such a mess. I love it. I prefer this to their first single.

This song isn't a bad choice for a second single, but I don't even know if it will crack the Top 50. It doesn't have much of a rock sound to it since it features rapper Rakaa. I'm not a big fan of Tim Armstrong's voice much, so after hearing this a few times, like some other Transplants songs I've heard, it got kind of boring.

Um, Rob Aston's the primary vocalist and uh, y'know, he's a rapper. What you meant to say was it doesn't have much of a rock sound to it due to the complete absence of guitars. |

Whoever the vocalist is with the scratchy high voice, he annoys the piss out of me.
