i kind of thought the ending was pretty lame. I mean, it's been done so many times. The way everything was talking I was expecting something really badass, and then when I heard it I was like :wtf:

? that was it?

well, as the webmaster of the site, i thought it was about time i weighed in with my thoughts on the songs.

i, for one, have been waiting for this for a loooong time. ever since mike left our lady peace and the band promptly went straight down into the bottom of the toilet, i have been waiting.

nonetheless, these songs really demonstrate what an influence he must have been on OLP's songwriting, because these 3 tracks are the best things i've heard since, i dunno, spiritual machines? they just have that good ole mid 90's super complex alternative rock sound. it's like everything cool about cutting edge indie music with strong vocal melodies. in my opinion, that's the best way to write a song, because you can go crazy with the instrumentation if you back it up with good singing.

so, of the three (the alchemist, beautiful forever and don't start) what is everybody's favorite?

i think i'm leaning towards beautiful forever at this point although i also REALLY like don't start, especially the ending. it's so anthemic, you know, like the whole song just builds up to that last aural explosion. not to mention, the bitchin guitar solo directly prior to the last hook. i wonder if that would count as "owning your instrument" enough for raine. *snort*. what a goof.

in any case, which song is the best?

I'd say Don't Start by a mile. Seriously, that song just rocks.

i know, it's so fucking good. seriously, i expected the stuff to be good but i didn't imagine it would be <i>this</i> good. i can't get enough of it. and i think i may want to marry jay. where the hell did he come from, and furthermore, where can i find him now?

deniedjunkie · Post by **deniedjunkie** » 1/28/2004, 11:34 am

i think its good but not great and definetely not the best thing since sm

Long Jonny · Post by **Long Jonny** » 1/28/2004, 11:35 am

Yeah seriously eh? He's really good. I mean, he's just got a voice that really sticks with you and you don't get sick of. Just wondering, did Mike personally send you this stuff or are you unable to talk about it?

starvingeyes · Post by **starvingeyes** » 1/28/2004, 11:36 am

i would also like to add that if you think about it, it's really freakin' amazing that he's decided to just release these songs to us like this. i mean, we're just filesharing like it was among friends. this action, i think, proves without a doubt that mike turner has more intergrity than the rest of the music industry does, put together. this is the purest form of making music "for the fans" that exists, and i would further state, that i imagine this is the first time an artist has released any music in this fashion, at least one of the stature of emtee. sensational.

note: in case you couldn't tell, i have major emtee buzz right now. woo hoo!

Long Jonny · Post by **Long Jonny** » 1/28/2004, 11:37 am

Ya, definitely. I mean, it's so obvious that he's here for the fans. He's not trying to make money and all that other jazz. I mean, it's been two years since we've heard anything from him. It's so nice to finally hear from him.

Johnny · Post by **Johnny** » 1/28/2004, 11:39 am

Don't Start :love:

The ending is the best!

starvingeyes · Post by **starvingeyes** » 1/28/2004, 11:44 am

yup, mike emailed us all the songs himself.

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 1/28/2004, 11:56 am

By "all the songs" do you mean all three, or all that were recorded? Are you holding back on us?

In any case, I'm glad to see that someone agrees this is the best stuff since SM. :nod:

Dude, the only thing that's the same in the two riffs is the little trill...

I was listening to BM yesterday.. I love the transition from that to Running for Home. :drool:

Anyways.. Don't Start is the best song.

When i first heard that song i was like 'oh my god, i think i just died...' It was so scary and crazy.

starvingeyes · Post by **starvingeyes** » 1/28/2004, 2:17 pm

as far as i know, they only did those three. in any case, he hasn't sent us anything that we haven't posted.
