    "comment": "\"'The Rat' opens with the sound of guitarist Paul Maroon just hammering the f**k out of a single chord, his Johnny Ramone hand an utter f**king blur. After a few seconds of this, drummer Matt Barrick kicks in, beginning a drum part that is equal parts Clem Burke on “Dreaming” and Keith Moon on “I Can See For Miles,” only somehow maybe better. His transitions from both hands spinning on the hi-hat to death-defying fills are utterly thrilling. One of those fills leads to bassist Peter Bauer gluing it all together, followed by organist Walter Morgan making the sound both huge and somehow melancholy.\n\nIt’s a f**king freight train, a glorious sound with more than a few shades of Deep Purple; which goes on for nearly a minute before lead singer Hamilton Leithauser comes in, clearly near the end of his f**king rope.\"\nEnjoy this essay about this powerful song: https://medialoper.com/certain-songs-3106-the-walkmen-the-rat/",
