All Apologies vs. Sex Type Thing

Post by **Jorge** » Wed September 20, 2017 12:05 pm

"All Apologies". I like that song a lot.

"Sex Type Thing" is whatever

i like both quite a bit, but there is something singular about all apologies that makes it a lot more compelling

All Apologies might be Nirvana's best song.

STT without a doubt.

Sex Type Thing is a good song that I never seek out anymore. It's one of maybe just a couple STP songs I'm burned out on. All Apologies is pretty great.

All Apologies is great but STT is greater

Sex Type Thing is a phenomenal song. All Apologies is also great. But I'm happily voting Sex Type Thing with no hesitation.

All Apologies easy as fuck

I legit expected this one to be more of a competition. I mean, I figured All Apologies would take it. But I didn't expect a slaughter.

All Apologies wouldn't crack my top 50 Nirvana songs but I'd still rank it over Sex Type Thing.

I know you want what's on my mind

"Dead & Bloated" and "Sex Type Thing" are a really interesting intro to Weiland, IMO. Both subtly vulnerable, insecure songs that deal with fragile masculinity, dressed up in macho, ass-kicking rock riffage. Weiland was a unique voice, I think. Doesn't get his due.

See, I just hear him as this vaguely seedy bro who ought to be singing in, I don't know, Buckcherry or something.

Starting off your rock career with a one-two punch of:

1. Feeling like an emasculated failure of a man ("I am trampled on the sole of another man's shoes, guess I walk too softly")

2. An anti-rape song that examines toxic male entitlement and fragile masculinity

That both sound like beefy, headbanging anthems is pretty subversive, I'd say. Coming off like a seedy bro is kind part of the package that makes it so compelling.
