New songs! v2.0 (SorryMatt,BoundToHappen&YouKnowIt)

Post by faninor »

So I'm trying to cover all the bases in one thread, the previous thread didn't have any polls and you all want polls.

Also discuss the new songs.

What did you think of them? What do you suppose you would have thought if these tracks had leaked in 2002 rather than what was on Gravity?

Did OLP need Mike, or is OLP's new direction better than Mike's new direction?

If my poll needs more options, just let me know!

I said "Angels Losing Sleep; They aren't as good as I wanted". The songs are alright, but not great. I could see myself possibly liking the album, though. Which is a big change from before hearing the clips. :nod:

I'm trying to listen to them, but NONE of them have played in the jukebox yet :cry:

Enlightening news from Rob over there, though :freak:

So Rob, you would say they are not as good as you want, but better than you expect?

Exactly. I'd like better, and I'd hoped for better, but they're better than I was actually expecting.

Also, they might not be on the jukebox any more. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony found out and had them removed... (though that's complete conjecture)

I was wondering if they have a certain number of people who need to vote for them and then they take them off. and after all the plays they've been having they might not be there any more.
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

After listening to them, I realized that my input was useless because I was so busy trying to get them all taped I just said everything was excellent!

I only heard three of them (Wipe, Picture, World on a string)

Picture was the best out of them, but as a whole I'm not impressed. I don't know what I was expecting, but they all seem bland, and nothing special at all.

I doubt I'll buy the album if this is an indication of it. Probably download it, burn it if I even remotely like it, but that's about it...

Better than Gravity, but they don't hold a candle to the worst of Mike-era OLP.

At first I thought they were all very repetitive, but it turns out that was because they were playing the same 30 or 40 seconds of the song 3 or 4 times. After editing them down, I've enjoyed them more.

"Vampires" is kind of a stupid name for an album, me thinks.

Without you I'm as good as
dead ...

Well we still don't know if that's what the title will be.

:O I'm back like I said I would be. World on a string is my favourite, and I like the new flavour of music that they now have.
