This maybe one of the last authentic rock songs of the 90s that took everything that happened from earlier in the decade and went an extra step with it, it's a mix of grunge and the unplugged rock of the mid-90s... a style that nobody has since taken up and run with, so it still sounds fresh even though this was over 20 years ago now and the core framework even older.. it's like the last gasp of a world going down...
