Question: is Optimissed underrated?
I constantly return to it as it is a banger for me, but I think it should be released on an "proper" album instead of an OST (if I am not missing something). And the Ken Marshal's remix (aka Humble Brothers) notch it up to 11.

I wish they included it in their shows upon their return. Great song!

Yeah Optimissed live could have been really awesome. With that breakdown section? It would have sounded great...

it feels a lot like a preview track for gwotr which felt very different from optimissed its self.

Honestly I hated it when I first heard it, being the first new music since they broke up. Was pretty disappointed it sounded different than the puppy I was used to. I don't mind it as much now.

First new song since "The Process" ! Buying the "Underworld" soundtrack was a big deal back in 2003... Yeah. It wasn't the return to the early 90's, (Too Dark Park, Last Rights) sound I was secretly hoping for. However I came to appreciate it more and more as I kept listening. There was alot of cool stuff on that soundtrack as far as I was concerned. A Perfect Circle: Weak and Powerless (remix), Page Hamilton... Surprisingly my favorite track on the CD was the David Bowie Danny Lohner remix...

I love it too! Surprisingly Cevin said in a chat it was not “finished properly”… I like the Humble remix but wish this was put on something else too
