Yes, but 67% currently rate it 3 stars or fewer.

The glass...is half full.

Is that a full moon joke?

It was an optimism joke with a Riot Act song title pun thrown in.

the larger point being something being simple, or easily discoverable, or comparatively basic doesn't speak to whether or not it is good or bad, or even boring or interesting. It matters how it is used in context, and how it interacts with the other elements of the performance.

I'm not saying I'm a great guitar player. That's exactly my point. I'm saying any dooface who picks up a guitar and googles how to play a power chord and strum in 4/4 will probably stumble across this progression in 5 minutes.

why is that a bad thing? ramones had great songs that were easy. My main problem with the song is that its not that interesting nor new. I like the chaotic element on in, love the production but its just an ok song for me.

Yes. It's boring. Not necessarily because the lack of creativity in the chord structure, but it doesn't help. I didn't say it's why I don't like the song. That's mostly because Ed sounds like a drowning goat in heat.

Yep. Just pointing it out. I didn't say it's WHY it's bad.

I'd actually be impressed to hear him strum this chord progression like this and do something interesting with it.

Haha

He is fine. I wish he didnt do those eeeeeeeee but i love the ¨chorus¨and the superblood wolfmoon part.

I wonder if Matt had varied his beat if there would be less unhappiness with this track

as referred to many times

he is capable of much more

yet with PJ he plays the role of a caricature of what he feels like a PJ drummer should sound like

which is generally a poppy, happy, quirky, young person

rather than the spawn of mephistopheles (soundgarden)

tree you are approaching balki levels

time to take 5

I suggest the Miami Dolphins thread

but couldnt

Not sure why I drew that conclusion. My apologies

Gigaton tracks compared to famous political lines and their effect on RM:

Dance if the Clairvoyants = “yes we can”

Superblood Wolfmoon = “only I can fix it”

YEP!! The song sucks and this is one reason why! If they dressed it up a little, put an interesting beat around it maybe, maybe Ed weren't doing his best Sheep in acid bathwater impression, it would sound decent!

insulting,sickening, disgusting, embarrassing!

Geezes christ people.

The Superblood Wolfmoon is a fascist!!
