I don't hate it. I like that DT can get a little "funky" once in a while!

I happen to like the song a lot, and think it gets a bad rap because it signifies the label pressure they were facing at the time.  Taken on its own merit, though, it's a fine song that I always enjoy when listening to FII (which is a terrific, underrated album). 

The bigger question for me is why "Cover My Eyes" didn't make the album.  If the label was pushing for accessible songs and crossover potential, why the hell would they let DT leave off a 3.5 minute song with a super catchy chorus?

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I too liked that song a lot. That Post chorus/Outro riff section sucks me in everytime!

It could be worse for YNM/YOM - it could be named The Dark Eternal Night.  ;)

The main wah riff and variations can be taken as funky sounding. JP also uses some heavy muting in his solo that also gives off a funky sound. Not true funk or anything I would agree on that.

just for the record, "Cover My Eyes" is my favorite DT song ever.

I personally dislike the song from the first time I listened to FII. Other songs were mostly ok, but I just couldn't stand the chorus in YNM. That melody, along with the drum beat (talking about the chorus), it's just nope for me, I don't know why, but I just feel like listening to some shitty band when I hear that
