The music is coherent, but this is one of Eddie's more schizophrenic compositions in terms of where everything is.
I don't know The Dwarves but like the song you suggested.theplatypus wrote:Musically it sounds like a wussy out of breath version of "We Must Have Blood" by The Dwarves
What the fuck is that solo
I think they're lifted directly.dad wrote:Anyone else think the intro drums are similar to Undone?
tragabigzanda wrote:ok, things that are good:
1. the general production at least has a bit more depth to it than the last couple records
2. I like the "la la la" part
3. I like that the guitars have a little bite to them
4. I like the "She was a stunner" part, but just for a bar or two
5. I appreciate that Ed is sticking within a comfortable range
But none of that matters because the underlying composition is so generic. This is, musically speaking, one of the most boring songs they've ever released. My hopes for this album just took a huge dive.
G'night team! I love Pearl Jam so I'll keep giving it a shot, but I don't see anything changing.
Yeah, it's exactly the same except in SBWM Matt rides the crash and the snare tone in Undone sounds like a trash can lid.dad wrote:Anyone else think the intro drums are similar to Undone?
La la la part is bad. Real bad.stip wrote:The first minute could defintiely stand to be a bit heavier/dirtier - it would make the contrast with the lalalala part stronger (which I do like). I do like the main riff when it picks up again around 1:10. I wish they repeated the lalalla part - the spokenish word bit that replaces it the second time doesn't do a ton for me.
Once Mike's solo kicks in (more to mark a transition than any love for that part) the song kciks up a notch. I'm with hlnv on that. The last minute is the best part

jesus thank you! yes I just couldn't think of the damn name.dad wrote:Anyone else think the intro drums are similar to Undone?
I think he’s going to take this one extremely seriously and they’ll have a plan to how it will translate livescrub12 wrote:Still digesting this one but I can't imagine there will be any live version of this with the studio lyrics. Ed will fuck up something every time.
I heard him aping EVH in the solo too!brandez wrote:I do think the solo is badass... but I am an Eddie Van Halen fan. The breakdown coming out of the solo sounds like it was pieced together from another song, though.
The whole things is rather ADHD. YouTubes says Ed plays guitar. So, it's probably an Ed song?
I do enjoy the last minute.evenslow wrote:i don't think it's a great song but i do think there are some interesting things going on here.
-the second half of the song rules
-it's a billion times better than CDM which i'm sorry we have to keep bringing up b/c it was initially the first single from the new PJ album.
- turns out the breakdown we heard initially is maybe the best part of the song.
- ed is in his wheelhouse here, which should make many RM sticklers happy.
Agreed.tragabigzanda wrote:the general production at least has a bit more depth to it than the last couple records
Agreed here too, sadly.tragabigzanda wrote: But none of that matters because the underlying composition is so generic. This is, musically speaking, one of the most boring songs they've ever released. My hopes for this album just took a huge dive.
It really might be. Can't swear it yet, but that's my initial feeling. Alas.evenslow wrote:- turns out the breakdown we heard initially is maybe the best part of the song.
