I am a big fan of Doug's playing, but I haven't been a fan of his singers on his solo projects, which hinders me from enjoying them. I liked Hurricane, House of Lords, and the stuff that he did with Dean C (written by someone else), but Kal and the other guy are not my favorites. I think that this song and many of his others show how important it is to have a singer that can write a melody. I love some newer indie bands and they are writing basic, four chord songs as well, but they are interesting because the singers take liberties and go places with the melodies that older rock guys don't.
