Rating: 10 lumber companies out of 10

I have friends who are just fucking nuts over Starz, and while I don't hold their level of enthusiasm generally I'm right with them on this song.  Such a big rock sound and so goddamn catchy, like overblown seventies stadium rock crossed with power pop.  I listen to this track pretty regularly and have the chorus stuck in my head more often than not.  The b-side is an instrumental track called "Coliseum Rock" and that is exactly what it sounds like.  I've listened to this b-side once or twice ever, it's inconsequential.  But the title track...perfection.
