heard this one recently, pretty bad. The drop sounds like a twelvie flexing his shit Massive patches he paid for in FL studio.
this one is fucking terrible, worst drop of any song, especially compared to the build up. The cynicist in me thinks that that Deadmau5 is responsible for the only good part of this song, the build up, and that kaskade just shat the terrible drop out, but Deadmau5 said the song was almost entirely kaskade's, so idk.
 
ET by Katy Perry was supposed to be a good song. So who the fuck thought it would be a brilliant idea to let Kanye West take a shit on it?


So here is my advise. Give West the middle finger and let Perry have the whole song.

 
Back with another song, this one sounds great for the first two or so choruses then just devolves into a shitty pop song at the end. Very sad.
 
The middle of this track sucks, it would be better without it.

Lol its most definetly not then. He's just trying to be nice.

All of Gorillaz's songs I've heard so far. Holy fuck Damon Albarn, can you stop being a faggot and putting kid/high pitched choruses in your songs? The worst one is probably Plastic Beach. Just cut out the "plastico" section and its perfect.
 
I loved Blinding Lights back before I heard any version that includes the vocals. The lyrics are just pathetic. It's just some sex degenerate vaguely winging at some chick about how his promiscuous lifestyle/muh sex addiction doesn't give him everything he wants and needs, so now he's hounding her to dote on him when he gets bored of doing judgement-worthy shit in "sin city" and putting it on her to teach him how to be capable of more than lust. What better way to convince a chick to commit to you than to expect sympathy for needing to use her as a last resort because whores won't hold you at night? Man, I wonder why she won't answer or return your calls.

ETA: I forgot to point out that the dude singing this song is basically that meme where someone's standing outside of the door of the person they're finally willing to settle for after they've spent their eligible years fucking around. "I'm ready to settle down." In stead of a coalburner with her mutt kids standing outside, it's this nogg visibly riddled with STDs.

I'm a mega-Sparklehorse fan, so none of this is the take away from Mark Linkous's work or even the tracks I am posting themselves. But I think they fit the thread.


Good Morning Spider, the second Sparklehorse album, was pretty well-received at the time of release. While in development, a music executive told Linkous that he thought the song Happy Man had a shot at being a real alt-rock hit single... so Linkous faded a bunch of noise and static and distortion ("Chaos of the Galaxy") into and out of the track, basically marring it himself to avoid any threat of the commercial success he had an uncomfortable brush with while in the band The Dancing Hoods.

I respect him for doing something so truly "punk" (and making something interesting in the process), but the original tune is so good. it sucks to be denied what could have been.
Thankfully, Linkous was persuaded to re-record and include an un-fucked-with version on an EP.


Much more frustrating is the brief track Cruel Sun from the same album.


It's got a great, catchy melody... and has no proper ending, transitioning seamlessly into the next track through a cacophony of weird sound. It's nearly impossible to fully enjoy the track on its own because it ends before it begins and the last few seconds are so unpleasant.

It's exactly the way Linkous wanted it to be, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
