Great Song by a great band

The only reasons I didn't give this CD 5 stars are as follows: 1, CD singles are generally a rip off, and 2, this song, although one of the better ones from the Self titled debut, sounds a little Nirvana-y. Of course, this is not a bad thing, and obviously it's more poppy and polished than anything outside of Smells Like Teen Spirit, but there's always a little voice in the back of my head that makes me think that Nevermind was playing in the background when they wrote this song. The single also features both the outstanding "Vampires Of New York" and the oddly appropriate "Shadow of Seattle".
