Papa Roach - "She Loves Me Not"

The sound of a band that took a while but finally figured out what it was good at. Straight Phil Rudd/disco-rock beat, bit of shuffle on the verse vocals to give the whole thing a little lilt, gives way to this helical chorus progression where the vocals sound a bit like good Bad Religion. No awkward rapping, and the musicians aren't competent enough to ruin this with anything more than what it needs. I've always sort of rooted for these guys since they're this ragtag, racially vague bunch from a town near Sacramento named for its cows (Vacaville) and most famous for its mental hospital, but I've never really liked anything I heard from them before. This song is great though.
