Now I can't pick a favorite song. It was kind of easy for me to pick 'The Rat Who Would Be King' as their ebst song, But Change of Season, Giant, Born To Kill, and Boy + His Machine Gun are all just pure genious

Let me explain, I haven't been an mgb fan for too long. i just got into them this summer. So alot of great songs went unnoticed.

Right now i'm going back to BM, and i'm listening to 'Born To Kill' nonstop. Holy Shit! The end is one of the most spectacular things i have ever heard. When everything is just going crazy and then it just ends. AHHHH! It is outstanding!

Tell me any other songs that might have gone unnoticed. From any cd other than AOB.


fearless,ommissions of the omen


Thanks, those two songs are great!

Fine Art Of Falling is good too.

Can anyone put loser anthems and raygun up on the hub?

Jesus, this man is a genious. It is hard for me to say this, but i think he has now surpassed OLP as my favorite band.

Omissions Of The Omen
Fearless
She's Got A New Disguise
My Out Of Style If Coming Back
Strangest One Of All
Jenni's Song
The Inescapable Us
Running For Home
Plus every other song that i've mentioned previously

are all just... wow! I cannot believe all of these insightful, beautiful, and touching songs can come from one band/artist. Matthew Good truly deserves so much more credit than he gets. It is scary. I am so glad i checked out some of his older stuff. Everything he has made is just in a league of it's own. he has found an incredible way to make the music relate with the insightful lyrics so well. I am just stunned.

If i had money that would be an option.

Really, all i want to hear is Flight Recorded From Viking 7 and Life Beyond Minimum Safe Distance.

I've heard those two are great.

There's no MGB song called Beautiful Midnight. :freak:

Also, get Loser Anthems & B-Side Rarities if you can. Every track, except for My Life As A Circus Clown, is brilliant. MLAACC is alright, but pretty standard compared to Flashdance, and especially to Fine Art Of Falling Apart, Life Beyond The Minimum Safe Distance, and Flight Recorder.

anyways has anyone given a listen to the acoustic version of Near Fantastica on the website? it's fantastic.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

heh, you got it the wrong way. Not that i didn't purposely put it like that so you would think of me 'dissing' canada. I just wouldn't want MG big where i lived. It would suck having everyone liking him.

EDIT - Jesus, The Insecapable Us. :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: So amazing. I guess MGB is clearly obsession worthy considering that i cannot stop singing his songs in my head.
