I agree with you, just change the word "Chester" with "Mike" and the words "Valentine's Day" with "Hands Held High".
Even if you don't like that song, I'm not really sure what part of it is wangsty. The only MTM songs that really fall under that criteria are probably Valentine's Day and Given Up, and one is a fun enough song for me to not care when I hear it and the other I'm fine with apart from the "On a Valentine's Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay" part. Come to think of it, in TV Tropes terms Valentine's Day is probably more just general narm or something like that.
Hmmm.... I wanna say Robot Boy, but it has recently grown on me so i'm gonna say Standing In The Middile.
I won't count remixes. Don't stay hit the floor somewhere I belong figure 09 nobody's listening lying from you QWERTY possibly some of the worst lyrics I've ever heard, but that's like the majority of Meteora and pre-MTM stuff anyway. The production on most of these tracks are dope
Don't Stay (Good sound, horrible lyrics) Hit The Floor (Zzzzzzzz) Points of Authority (Just never got into this song since day one) QWERTY (Gives me a headache) Not Alone (Started out good, but the repetitiveness towards the end killed it) 26 Letters in the Alphabet (Seriously, WTF???) Nobody's Listening (Meh) Lying From You (Overproduced as fuck)
You putting 26 Letters In The Alphabet in your list is like putting The Wizard Song in there. It's a fucking joke song, dude.
But even for a joke song it sucks. All other songs from the CD are also jokes but I kinda like them and I even like The Wizard Song.
I think he has the right to put it on his list because the song is actually better than some of their previous material
Wow. Tough... I love most of their songs. But HHH, In Between, Valentine's Day I have to say I like the least, but I don't hate them.. They're just not as good as the rest x)
Nobody's Listening (i laugh every time i hear this song...sorry ) Numb (not the LP i know) In the End (its just bad) New Divide (the guitar kills this, I cant stand octaves) The Catalyst (repetitive and very very unrealistic) QWERTY (flat out annoying) Burning in the Skies (not a fan of jazz) Figure .09 (y'know how you just don't like some songs and can't explain why, this is one of them) Given Up (chester's having a fit?) There's a couple more but can't remember it right now. Its my opinion, dont flame me for this.
I just want to ask what you mean by saying The Catalyst is "unrealistic." What on Earth does that mean? Do you mean the lyrics or something?
Songs I usually skip: Crawling (Don't kill me, don't kill me!) Runaway One Step Closer With You (I dunno, kinda 50/50, sometimes I listen, sometimes I can't stand the lyrics) Hit The Floor Easier To Run (I don't LISTEN to it. I don't HATE it) Figure.09 Leave Out All The Rest No More Sorrow The Little Things Give You Away When They Come For Me (listened to it a lot when ATS came out) Songs I Hate: All the songs from Collision Course and Reanimation. Can't stand 'em. My December (MAKE IT STOP!!) In Between Valentine's Day Robot Boy The Messenger, and of course... EMPTY SPACEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES RAWR!!!! *EDIT* For the first list, I have to say that I listened to those songs a lot when their respective albums came out, and I skip them mostly because I'm really getting into ATS. With You was good too, until I realized the lyrics were a bit...off.
Fair enough you don't like these songs, but your excuses are confusing The catalyst unrealistic? BITs is not a jazz song in away as far as i know, and why you dislike New Divide for its guitar Octaves is an unusual reason. Sad thing is Brad Delson is infamous for his Octaves (as well as powerchords) in LP's songs. You must really hate BIT's guitar solo then haha
