    As a musician myself...this band is very good especially as a three piece...no song sounds the same but all are great...what this dude does with his vocals...change in timing...lyrics are solid...above average guitar player skill wise but plays with his gut which is more critical than being technically sound...if this was the 90s these guys would be household names...maybe sacralidge but in my opinion they are the best 3 piece rock band ever or any band ...yep I said it...you guys set the bar to another level for aspiring musicians...do what you do🤘(and stop with rush plz....they didn't write great songs and that matters)

      😅Opinions are OK to have, but, "'best 3 piece rock band ever"' ?? Not even close. I am not a huge fan of Green Day... but they're a better band. Then there are others like, hmmm, Nirvana? Rush? Beastie Boys?
      I'll give you an opinion-based comp. Stereophonics. Awesome 3 piece band, great music, underrated and underplayed. I love them. But, they're not the best ever.

      some of the greatest musicians of all time never left the side of the road and got passed up everyday by deaf drones living in a bubble and under the cloud of oppression forced upon humanity by monsters in human form, only kept alive to serve the few on top and allowed just enough "freedom" to exist but far from actually LIVING. some just get lucky i guess, most others though are just left to walk the path set before them into destruction without an outlet to release the energies of creation that live inside of them and us all in varying degrees and of different expressions but when born in an environment with the freedom to grow and the love to nourish that growth what would result is a world lifted to a higher state by the concerted creations and efforts made by a diverse human race that uses their differences to unite and create rather than to divide and destroy because
      the only differences between us are the ones we make
      so lets make love and conquer hate

    I'm not afraid to shut it down
    Over and over and over and over again
    Your vanity's so cold
    (Your vanity's so cold)
    Your vanity's so cold in my
    Heart, soul, please, let go
    Your vanity's so cold
    (Your vanity's so cold)
    I guess anything goes
    When you're waiting for the one that you love
    It's not ready
    Hey, man, wouldn't you know?
    That nobody should be waiting for love
    (Why would you be waiting for love?)
    Over and over and over and over again
    Your vanity's so cold
    (Your vanity's so cold)
    Your vanity's so cold in my
    Heart, soul, please, let go
    Your vanity's so cold
    (Your vanity's so cold)
    And I've searched my soul for you today
    But this feeling is getting old
    It won't go away
    I'm lost without you here
    My love, it lays under the cornerstone
    That the builder threw away
    I've searched my soul
    Nothing ever came
    This feeling's getting old
    Right back in the cold now
    Right back into the cold, yeah
    It's all I've ever known
    All I've ever known, yeah
    And I have searched my soul, yeah
    For you, it's true
    But nothing ever comes, alright
    And I swear, I'm headed back to the other side, yeah
    I can't sit around and watch us both die
    Oh, no, I cannot watch us both die
    Oh no, not I
    You know I've got to try
    I need you here
    I've tried and I'll try again
    You are my friend
    This is not the end

    Your vanity's so cold

    That nobody should be waiting for love

    And I've searched my soul yeah, for you today
    But the feeling is getting old
    It won't go away
    I'm lost without you here
    My love, it lays under the cornerstone
    That the builder threw away
    I've searched my soul
    Nothing ever came
    This feeling's getting old
    Right back in the cold now
    Right back into the cold, yeah
    It's all I've ever known
    All I've ever known, yeah
    And I have searched my soul, yeah
    For you, it's true
    But nothing ever comes, alright
    And I swear, I'm headed back to the other side, yeah
    I can't sit around and watch us both die
    Oh, no, I cannot watch us both die
    Oh no, not I
    You know I've got to try

      this is actually their second album. For some reason they basically deny the existence of their true debut album from 2010. The album was self titled and in my opinion fucking fantastic. Even better than mister asylum. The first album has more of a ska sound. Type "highly suspect Gang Lion" into the search and see if you agree.

    Okay...i was introduced to this song by a "friend" who goes by the name "Vanity" only because i recommended to her the song "Vanity" by The Smashing Pumpkins. I gave her possibly the greatest band in the history of music (Smashing pumpkins) and arguably the greatest singer/songwriter who ever lived (Billy Corgan) and in return she suggested this! 😝 indie pop rock boy band trash...i can totally see why so many dislikes (true music fans possibly?!) You would have to be smoking dope to actually think that this is good...but i "highly suspect" she is! 🤔(see what i did there! 🤣) people don't listen to music anymore!!! They only care about social media and aesthetics! Just look at most of the comment section! It's about the guy being stereotypically attractive, not actually a good musician...in society we root for some people to succeed despite obvious transparent flaws while we shun others who we don't find aesthetically pleasing to the eye who are possibly more talented and deserving...if this guy wasn't who the people in the comment section consider "desirable" this song WOULDN'T have as many views and it would be considered trash by most people's standards...this is 4 minutes and 52 seconds of my life i have wasted and will never get back! I even tried to be subjective and listened to the original version...which was worst!!! (Listen to "Vanity" by The Smashing pumpkins and see for yourselves...better music, better lyrics, better voice...oh but i forgot, Billy Corgan might not be eye candy to hyper sexed millennials with low attention spans!!! #facts
