I'm not sure how someone managed to take one of the best tracks from Searching for a Former Clarity and make it awful, but here's the proof.
The complete removal of the original instrumentation of the song and looping some techno beat over Gabel's vocals makes you realize something. You realize that Tom Gabel and his band work very well together. The backing vocals, the drum and bass, and guitar are all necessary parts in the equation that has made Against Me great. This song does not function as a techno piece at all. It just feels very awkward. The original makes me want to dance and move, this just makes me shake my head.
This record appeals to the collector in me, but one spin of the remix was more than enough for me. I'll listen to the full length if I want to here the original song.
