The second single promises good things Whether it's the catchy guitar intro or the memorable lyrics. Saint Joe On The Schoolbus is one of those songs that justs gets ahold of you doesn't let go. This single also features Shadow of Seattle (live) and The Vampires of New York. For those of you who thought Marcy ment One and Playground ment Hit Wonder well you better hit the books because Saint Joe On The Schoolbus promises the success that Sex and Candy brought Marcy Playground.
Great Song by a great band
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 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. The single also features both the outstanding "Vampires Of New York" and the oddly appropriate "Shadow of Seattle".
For MP Fanatics only.
