I like collision course when I ignore the lyrics. Jay-Z's lyrics are just so so annoying. I know LP isn't some lyrical mastermind but my point is his lyrics are fucking terrible. 'Got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one'. The reason this makes me angry is that I think Jay-Z is pretty talented and that he 's a decent person. I personally feel like all these stupid lyrics are written just to sell records. Also, Yesternumbcore is beautiful. I'm sorry I'm posting this late. It kinda feels magical watching the live performance but Jay-Z really ruins it with his uhs and yeahs. Its interesting how some of the band members say this is one of their favorite moments. EDIT: That was just an example ha. I wasn't talking about the song.
We're going through "Collision Course" track by track right now and we're not up to that track yet but, alright ... you should check out RapGenius for a breakdown of what that line refers to (and the song that it references, to which your criticisms might be more accurately applied) - maybe you'll look at it a bit differently. There's layers to this shit.
While it's all fine and dandy, I can't help but feel the annoyance comes from his choice of vocabulary.
"Dirt Off Your Shoulder"/"Lying from You" is one of my favorites in the track, simply because it's fun, especially with the cappuccino part. Jay's rap verses fit perfectly well with the Lying from You guitar riff. I'm still disappointed that the breakdown at the end of Dirt Off Your Shoulder didn't show up in some way, though.
Mmm. I would theorise that Shinoda's breakdown at the end of "In Stereo" on "The Rising Tied" was a bit of a shoutout
I'm more excited to do Collision Course so I can be whiny bitch, than I was for the first half of Meteora, which I didn't even bother participating in xD
DOYS/LFY is a good mashup, at least for the parts that are actually mashed together. Jay-Z's lyrics of LFY are great and it makes the parts that go back to just Chester or Mike feel fresher.
I'm in the "Collision Course sucks/ it is a cash-grab/ the songs don't go well with each other/ it shouldn't have been made" team.
Again, I would say that there's zero doubt that it was conceived as a cash-grab by more than half the parties involved. Funnily enough, with so many fingers in the pie or whatever, the actual artists wound up getting very little themselves in terms of revenue.
Well, apparently, what Joseph laid out in the OP is law. Saves me from having to make posts for each song so, whatever
DOYS/LFY is a fun jam as is the rest of this EP. I don't like how the ending is basically Lying From You.
First of all, ugh I just want to get to MTM! Second of all, good job choosing a DBZ AMV. Cause if you're going to link an AMV, you might as well choose DBZ. Lastly (on topic), this is definitely one of the better songs off of the EP. Like Filip said, this is just a fun song to listen to, and that little clip in the beginning proves it.
