Million Dollar Reload--3 snipes
Parts of the song sounded like Night Ranger. Song wasn't too bad for a power ballad. And this is their second album? They look old, they must have done other stuff before this? So was the girl in the video a hooker, a drunkard or just a lost soul? She also looked a bit like Rihanna.
Funeral For a Friend--0 snipe
What, screamo? This held no interest for me. The guy was shouting the words and then shouted a little bit louder in other parts. And the melody is something I've heard before but I can't place my finger on where. It just sounds like generic skateboard punk music. And the video was bland, kinda like the lead singer doing nothing but being...bland.
The Kinks--4 snipe
When I first heard this song, I was happy that The Kinks went back to rock since I thought that the previous album, "State Of Confusion" was wimpy (and wrongly so). I actually hunted down a CD of this album a month or so ago and am going to listen to it this week. This song and "Living On A Thin Line" I remember quite vividly, the rest of the album I have no clue. But when I got it, except for those two songs, I didn't like it. Anyway, video is funny and goofy. ANd yes, "Living On A Thin Line" is a GREAT song, if you haven't heard it, hunt it down.
Million Dollar Reload (6/6 Icy Killer Salmon Sharks)
First, I'm watching Icy Killer Salmon Sharks on NatGeo TV, therefore the proper rating scale. I love a good ballad, and this is a damn good ballad. Niels, I'm pretty sure you've posted this band before in NMC. Was it this album? When the singer hits the high notes, he sounds a bit like Mark Slaughter. The video is okay, it doesn't make a lot of sense but it doesn't detract from the song, and it looks like it has a happy ending. Nice pick here Niels.
Funeral For A Friend (4/6 Icy Killer Salmon Sharks)
I was planning on hating this based on Jon's comment, but this wasn't a bad song. It's short, which is almost always good. The video kicked it up a bit for me. It reminds me of my Pharmacy School days, fraternity brothers, a particular road trip using a UGA van, a particular brother kicking out the window on I-95, and the ensuing onslaught of excuses to give the University when we returned home. Good times man, good times.
The Kinks (4/6 Icy Killer Salmon Sharks)
This is okay, a little better than average. The song that is, not really the video. I think the Kinks are okay, but I've never been a huge fan. My favorites by them would be Low Budget and Wish I Could Fly Like Superman, although I don't think that's the proper title. I do like the guitar on this tune. It's not extended by any means, but it fits the song really well.
Thanks Jonster. I needed those parenthesis.
Yes. With those the song title makes more sense.
MILLION DOLLAR RELOAD ... 4 Recovery pins
Nice tune, not great but better than good. I heard GNR, REM, and 80's influences.
FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND ... 0
Yah, just a zero, couldn't think of anything nice to say, so its just nothing! blah... Same old same old new stuff.
THE KINKS ... 3 "will work for food" signs
The tune sounds totally familiar and the video does as well. But I've completely forgotten about the tune until just now. I liked it, but a Kinks fans does not one song make!
