You will probably hate this song. The tuning is arcane, putting the fuzzy guitars in an almost unintelligibly low register. But the chord progression is brilliant. The singing melody is one of immense imagination. The high notes are almost stupidly high. The song epitomizes Chris Cornell's trademark shriek.

The lyrics form an abstract, apocalyptic landscape. Cornell specialized in nearly nonsensical dark, psychedelic lyrics, but in this song, he unloads one of his most striking concrete images in a key closing line: "Down in the hole, Jesus tries to crack a smile beneath another shovel load."
