Flash Tizzle Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Man, anyone else think that song "I Will Possess Your Heart" by Death Cab For Cutie is one of the strangest songs they've ever heard? It's almost an official stalking theme. Even the baseline intro and piano seems to fit the mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been pretty dark lately.Their melodies seem up beat but when you listen to the words its all about death and loosing someone.But it is a damn good stalking song,really gets ya in the mood.

Cali Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 11:16 AM) haha, I hate that song so much. Reminds me of fort minor/suburban rap. Meh it's better than the guys who rap about how much money they have, b****es and ho's they bang, size of the rims they own, and the cars in which those "twenty-fo's" are on... Plus Flobots are awesome cause one of the songs has the lyric "This is outta hand like Buster Bluthe..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly stuff nowadays is mostly about stupid dances or your "ice" unless your listening to TRUE hip-hop.

Cali Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) The lyrics have something to say, thats why they're better than the b****es n ho's kinda guys. I mean listening to "Where'd You Go" compared to some Lil' John WHAT? song is like looking at a finger painting compared to a Picasso....(Lyrically) But I get it. These guys arent in it to be groundbreaking and thought provoking lyricists, they're trying to make a song with a nice beat and some really easy lyrics to song along with so they get played at clubs. People just wanna f***ing dance and scream "To the windooooowwwww to the walll!" They do this for as long as they can and make as much money as they can, and then fade into obscurity, where they belong....

bmags Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 the thing is, from a depth level the flobots stupid lyrics are just as shallow. It's like poetry read in my creative writing class in high school. I'm much rather listen to clever verses showing off bravado than that. And when did the cool kids started rapping about anything? I like them, but they switched out benz's and shoes for bikes and shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, "Where'd You Go"? switch out the drum machine with guitars and drums and you've got a typical emo song by a pop punk band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 The Batman Soundtrack is gotta be some of the best if not the best orchestra music I've heard of all time. Like a Dog Chasing Cars, Why So Serious and Introduce a little Anarchy are all very, very catchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly why I qualified it. Put a different way, it's "I've heard all this stuff off on the radio, and I like what I heard from the Flobots more than other stuff I heard, which typically seemed to be about guns and women."

The Critic Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Video of Metallica playing a new song, Cyanide, at Ozzfest. http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermo...wsitemID=102536 I dunno, I'm not crazy about it. It's definitely better than Fake Anger, and they're trying to get back to the longer songs with a lot of breaks and time changes, but it just lacks something to me. I was hoping James was going to get away from the yodeling vocal style and growl a little more, but it's not happening here. It's decent, but it doesn't make me want to buy or even "otherwise obtain" the new disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was, by far, the worst concert I've ever had the displeasure of seeing. During a 3-hour set, they played (and I'm not exaggerating) 8-10 songs. Only two of them were relatively popular songs. f*** this band, that's all I have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the Allman Brothers, so I didn't want to say anything before you went. Did the Allman Brothers' hardcore fans seem to enjoy the show? I saw Blues Traveler once, and it was the same thing - a ton of "noodling" turning 4 minute songs into 14 minute snoozefests. I hate that crap.
