My Propeller is a good song, but already not the strongest out of Humbug. And the B-Sides don't bring anything really special. I like this single, but I think it wasn't really necessary, they could've kept only Crying Lightning and Cornerstone as the main Humbug singles.

Crying Lighting is probably the first thing I'll show to aliens when they visit Earth, it's one of the best songs I've ever heard.
