Lets Actually Listen to the Album: Backspacer

[warehouse]

I'm hearing a strange link between come back and speed of sound, for the first time.
They both have this 50s (is doowap the word?) feel to them.
I like it.

12 bar blues?

Nope, not blues at all; Come Back is like a 50s rock n roll doo-wop slow dance song. Although I think the studio version of SoS is just a mess that doesn't know what it is. I don't know how hammered dulcimer or lasers is trying to recapture 50's doo-wop stuff. But I guess there's a hint of it in the rhythm.

i didnt know doo-wop had slow dance songs

[dimejinky99]

God everyone's an expert

Yeah I meant the rhythm I guess. It's kinda 50s ish

'Blue Moon, I saw you standing alone, without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own.'

Yeah, I love a load of this style of music. I don't know much about it so there are probably loads of examples of slow dance songs from the era. You know, the films, with the prom scene at the end and the kiss. OH, actually, in Grease? 'Beauty School Dropout' is another one in that style.

[Lounge Lizard]

Can anyone tell me what exactly is everybody's problem with ATW?

[harmless]

Apparently there's not enough guitars. It's not the big anthem they were trying for, something like that.

[McParadigm]

It sounds like it was written for the soundtrack to a Disney movie?

[harmless]

Only as much as GTF sounds like U2.

[EJ]

I can picture Celine Dion singing this song.

[harmless]

Oh yeah, and apparently it's proof of Ed's Christian radio credentials.

[harmless]

I can picture Celine Dion singing this song.

I can picture Shania Twain singing Betterman.

I can picture Celine Dion singing this song.

I can picture Shania Twain singing Betterman.

It would certainly be her best song.

wasn't there that one about Leonardo DiCaprio?

[McParadigm]

I can picture Celine Dion singing this song.

I'm leaning more late-era adult contemporary Phil Collins.

[Norah]

Boring and super generic. Just awful.

[Mike]

I quite like Amongst The Waves but Mike's solo is annoying and doesn't fit the song. Sounds like he thinks they're playing some heavy hard rock song.

Maybe if that solo was something more creative, more people would realise it isn't meant to be one.
