It All Comes Crashing Down

I don't mean to ruin the assumed high spirits everyone is in with the start of this new year/new day, but I've been meaning to post this video since I first saw it.

Sooner or Later



It is pretty apparent that this song was not originally written with the intent to describe the recent imploding of Wall Street, but the parallels make for a nice visual representation. Sonically, this is a masterpiece, in my humble opinion. Lyrically, it's not advanced, but the lyrics are personal enough for it to break the greatness barrier for me. The approximate 3 plus minute riff at the end of the CD version of the song are nothing short of sheer blissful anarchy for the ears. I couldn't ask for more.
