I don't think it's that hard to talk about 2 songs at once. But whatever fools

[dad]

not many people can multi-task. in fact, no one can. you can task-switch though. in this thread's case, you can task-switch your criticism between two songs.

tree is right, guys.

[BurtReynolds]

Focus! Why is it so hard to focus?! i'm herding cats!

[dad]

burt is right, guys.

Nope. And I think you should start one before tree does and ruins it out of the gate.

oh, and imagine dragons are absolute garbage not really my bag, but i get their appeal.

I think maybe we did two yesterday but spread across several hours. Let people chime in and let a conversation form before moving on to the next one.

When it comes to timezones RM contains multitudes. Let these simmer a little.

(But I do agree that 2 a day is probably a pretty reasonable target)

[Kevin Davis]

Yeah, I have nothing positive to say about this song. I'm not sure if it meets the technical definition or not, but when I hear people say the term "brickwalled" this is the kind of thing I think about -- all I hear are vocals, a relentlessly irritating snare drum with an obnoxious effect on it (by the end it starts feeling like the crack-pow-pssshht sound effect used in video games when someone gets punched), and a huge indistinct wall of nothing in between. Even in their imperfection, the other songs we've seen so far both had a certain hitmaker's panache to them that kept my ears turned on -- there were flourishes and dynamic choices all over them which reflected a musical thoughfulness (even if that thoughtfulness was driven by the sinister motives of industry supervillians in a board room) that just isn't present here. D+, though I do like all the muppet-like creatures in the video.

[Kevin Davis]

I'm not sure which one is worse: this or "Believer," another song of theirs that will appear later in this list. In some ways they are the same song.

I thought this was "Believer" until I got about 2 minutes in and realized the chorus part I was expecting to come wasn't coming.

I posted the first song on Tuesday night in my time zone, and the next one midday Wednesday. So not quite a full day, but in my mind, at least two different days.

Mainly I posted the second one because it seemed like people were done talking about the first one.

you mean you waited before only two people had a chance to chime in on a particular song? eureka.

You've made your point. Please stop harassing me.

[Chris_H_2]

fair

[Strat]

Why dont we just let the creator of the thread post the songs?

[Chris_H_2]

i'm sorry

[BurtReynolds]

I didn't mind the muppet. And Lou Diamond Phillips.
