This song\/album levels me. Christ I&#8217;m tearing up just writing about it. The tremolo riff in this closing track is huge and beautiful and moving&#8211;somehow incredibly sad and uplifting at the same time. I consider myself a pretty happy dude, but as I&#8217;ve aged into some kind of early onset manopause I&#8217;m more prone to being moved and emotional about things.
