Your Top Ten Reviewed - shrekfan246 | |
Welcome to a new segment here in the User Reviews, where I take your top ten most played songs, and 'critically analyse' them (Read: Rip them to shreds). 10. Freeze - Hourcast The 'to yooouuuu' drift-offs from the chorus are just one example of how poor the overall song composition was, and the return to the original slow notes of the beginning for the finale was an uninspiring cliché to say the least. 9. Die Tonight, Live Forever - Innerpartysystem 8. Stay Awhile - Belle Histore 7. Give In - Siamese Fighting Fish 6. A Man of Science - Orbs 5. Desert of Song - Between The Buried And Me 4. Dragonfly Across An Ancient Sky - Helios 3. Amarillo Sleeps On My Pillow - Fair To Midland 2. Vacant Mouth - Underoath 1. Asthenia - Blink 182 Tell me why I'm wrong/ praise my judgement in the comments below, and please submit your Top Ten Most Played to me via PM - I'll get through my backlog eventually!

I had a hard time deciding on a Fair to Midland song, and I'm still not sure of the one I decided on because they just cover such a vast range in their songs. Agreed on 'Asthenia' being one of the better Blink-182 songs, and as for the comment about Orbs, Adam Fisher most certainly has a voice that I think most people would find grating at best. I find it to be an acquired taste, myself. | |
Prog Rock is the best rock you know? | |
To be fair, I always thought that Amarillo Sleeps on my Pillow was one of the weaker tracks from the album, Musical Chairs, A Loophole in Limbo, Short Haired Tornado, Golden Parachutes or Coppertank Island would have been better choices I think. Actually, this looks fun, I may submit some songs to be critiqued. | |
Nope, that would be heavy metal. Obviously. :D OT: Good review. Can't wait for my favs to be picked to shreds. :D | |
Yeah, 'Coppertank Island', 'Rikki Tikki Tavi', 'Walls of Jericho', and 'Tall Tales Taste Like Sour Grapes' were the other ones I was conflicted on. | |
Your both wrong, punk and indie are where it's at. | |
I think you are lying out of your mouth. Punk (and hard for that matter) might come close, but indie? No way in hell. :D | |
would you expect anything else form a guy that goes by Punky? :P | |
I didn't realise you were choosing from Fables From a Mayfly... too. In that case, I'd definately of gone with Walls of Jericho, that song is epic wrapped up in awesome. Its that song that made me fall in love with Fair to Midland. It was at Download Festival 2008, Fair to Midland were playing to a tent of about 20 people, they did that song, I was blown away, Derroh Sudderth is an amazing singer, it doesn't come across so well on their records but when he lets rip, just wow. | |
He's got one of the best ranges I've ever heard, rivaling even Mike Patton in my opinion. 'Walls of Jericho' and 'Dance of the Manatee' were the first two songs I ever heard by them, then I stopped listening to them for a while at the tail end of my high school years until I heard 'Tall Tales . . .' by chance one day and looked them up again to discover they had released Arrows & Anchors. Unfortunately I don't think they've ever toured to my state, but I'd love to see them live. Even the Youtube clips of shows are just full of energy, and as can probably be extrapolated from the above list being torn apart by Sir Bobmus, Fair to Midland are one of my favorite bands. Bobmus, I apologize for derailing your review a bit. >.> | |
Huh, this sounds interesting. I can't wait for my turn, if it ever comes. | |
Myeh.. nothing really that special on this 10 in my own opinion.. most Prog Rock or Heavy Metal never really tickled my fancy | |
