Among the rockers though, Hook Me Up and maybe The Distance (it could stand to be produced differently) are about the only ones that are standing the test of time for me. Right Side of Wrong also still holds up though not much in the way of personal empathy...but it was a decent attempt at something different.
I used to be such a huge huge huge fan of the distance. Now it's hard to listen to. Somewhere underneath the chunky downtuned guitars is a great song. You're right, it needs to be freshened up. It's not as timeless as it should be.
