I will say one good thing: the entire final 15 seconds or so feels like a Blue Oyster Cult song, which is a wicked step up from the rest of it.

Love the totally unnecessarily added keyboards in this song.

Re: Let the Records Play
People who think this song is "embarrassing": is it not better than Supersonic?

Too early for me to tell. But if I had to rank, I think I'd agree with theplatypus here.

I don't hate Supersonic. I hate this song. Like, I keep forgetting it even exists, and then it comes up on the stream and I swear in front of my children.
Okay, Ed, so he let's the records play. That don't impress me much.

Re: Let the Records Play
Supersonic is way better than this. Quick, unoffensive, rockin. This song is trying to be alot of things, succeeds at none of them and wastes a really cool outro.
Can someone help me understand eds new love of shite vocal melodies? is it all him do you think? can i blame bob too?

Re: Let the Records Play
I think the verses dont really succeed at being cool swaggery blues, and the chorus doesn't succeed at being anything other that awful, its not danceable, bop-able, drunken...idkharmless wrote:This song does what it's aiming for perfectly well, in my very humble opinion.stupidmop wrote:Supersonic is way better than this.

And before i piss people off, all my rantings are entirely IMO. If i say this song sucks monkey balls, i mean i think it sucks monkey balls, not that it definitely is monkey balls and you're all stupid for liking it.

Re: Let the Records Play
I get the vision of a cowboy walking in full of swagger and balls swinging to and fro, and then Tom Hanks from in his Bosom Buddies attire runs in and slaps a blonde wig on the cowboy and they start having a drink and dancing around together.
The chorus of this song works to neuter the swagger that is inherent in this song. Oh what could have been... and what is there wanting to not be neutered.

To hell with all of you afraid-to-boogie motherfuckers. This song puts an enormous smile on this southern boy's face.
