But once the wine is gone, the drunk and sarcastic Irish side of me goes straight for the unreasonable jugular ." </P> <P> Musically, Spin described the song as "an orchestral power - rocker of sorts, alternating sunnier, almost glam - like chord progressions with more traditional hard - rock gestures". The song was written in major key, and features a more upbeat tempo than most songs by the band . The song features driving percussion, dark guitar parts, and strings . </P> <P> Metal Injection praised the song, comparing it favorably to "Disillusioned" and concluding that it was "a bit of an earworm, as by the end of the track I found myself singing the hook". Louder Sound named the song one of the 10 Key songs done by Keenan and Howerdel throughout their careers, just one day after the song's release . </P> <P> Credits adapted from CD liner notes . </P>
