Another great song ruined by a muddy mastering. Weak percussion, messy vocals, non sense volume drops and ups. This one should have rocked. For example, the three choruses have their respective "Put out the fire" mixed in really strange and different ways. I think it was copy-paste, but they are really different between each other. Of course, into the muddy you can't notice that.
