| Nickelback – Someday Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Let's talk, chitlins. Let's talk about a little kid, about 10 years old, who heard the beginning of this song on some commercial or other while watching TV one day. This child, who had previously listened to not much more music than pop, hip-hop, and rap, music about people who contribute nothing positive to society, was pleasantly surprised by the stark, loud, in-your-face sound of this song. He didn't know what it was called, as the title never appeared in the commercial. So he spent his days listening to 93.3, KOBFM, and 94 Rock in Albuquerque, New mexico, trying to find out what the song was called. Eventually, he found that the title was Someday, by a band called Nickelback. And from that day on, this child was hooked. He listened to all the music by this band he could find, and found similar bands along the way. He never listened to pop music again. If you are anything at all, you will know that I am not talking about some random person I know, but rather myself. So, knowing that, let's change the point of view completely, and fast forward about 7 years or so. I am older, and have access to so much more music than I did before, now that I've a computer of my own. I am quite heavily into metal music, specifically death metal. I have a burning and never-ending disdain for the shallow, vapid, materialistic culture of today's rock and pop music. When I listen to most of Nickelback's music, specifically the newer songs they've shit out, and know that two or three years ago I would have been one of their fans, eating this up and loving it, it makes me want to hurt people. I would be perfectly happy never hearing another song from their last too albums again. however, Someday is still a decent song to me, and it is where I started out liking real and good music, so I cannot in good contience say anything negative about it. |

| Nickelback – Falls Back On Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| AN utterly useless song, more for the vocals than anything. Repetitious, goes nowhere, grinds painfully on the ear, does nothing. No wonder Kroeger wants to bury this song and EP from which it comes as soon as possible. If I had made this monstrosity, I would personally hunt down every copy I could find and burn those bitches. Unfortunately, for him and for us, the availability of MP3'S and other digital formats means that this song, and the entire Hesher EP, will be coming back to bite him in the ass forever. | |
| Sugarland – Stuck Like Glue Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
It took me about 5 listens of this song to get a nice, well-grounded opinion on it. Bare in mind that I am not, nor do I think I ever will be, a Sugarland fan. The vocalists accent is horribly thick, and I can't stand listening to her without a part of me cringing. Listen 1: Okay, this isn't terrible, kinda catchy, I imagine the masses will love it. Listen 2: If they'd take out that really weird third verse, at least I think it's the third verse, it would be better. Listen 3: Okay, so maybe Jennifers accent seems extra thick on this song. And what the fucks up with that third verse? Who is she trying to immitate? Listen 4: The lyrics of this are really clicheted, and this song doesn't really add anything to this genre of music that I've not heard before, albeit in different foerms, of course. Motherfuck, that third verse is really getting on my fucking nerves. Listen 5: Dear Jesus, this is an abnoxious song. Get it away from me. Listen 6: Stop playing this useless piece of garbage, please! I'll do anything, just make it go away! Listen 7: D'you think if I held the manager of our radio station hostage, and demanded that they stop playing it, it would work?... |

No no no, you've got it all wrong. There is not a single instrument in the whole song. Here are the correct lyrics: Lighter flick Massive bong hit cough cough cough cough cough cough cough Lighter flick Cough cough Massive bong hit Someone says something about something being burnt Cough Lighter flick Bong hit Cough cough cough Exhale Numerous small coughs, followed by a few large ones final bong hit. |

| Breaking Benjamin – So Cold Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| The Intro goes on for way, way too fucking long. Which wouldn't be a problem, except for the fact that it is the same thing repeated over and over again. At certain points in the song, Ben sounds like he is singing with a mouthful of grease. This is the case with many of this bands earlier music before Phobia. Other than that, a very good song. | |
| Nickelback – Just to Get High Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| By far, the best, most meaningful song on the entire album, and a definite and stark contrast to the rest of the garbage they've been producing. This song, along with pretty much every song on The State, has never gotten old for me. | |
| Nickelback – D.C. Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I find myself faced with an interesting delemma when listening to anything Nickelback related. In this, and almost all other early songs from Hesher, Curb, and The State, Nickelback write absolutely stunning, almost beautiful lyrics, completely unlike the disgrace to humanity which was their last album, and, to a lesser degree, the album before it. However, I can't stand to listen to the songs, mainly because of Chad Kroegers painfully horrendous vocals. With the exception of The State, he sounds absolutely terrible. Listening to him in their early days makes me cringe. However, his vocals have improved over the years, and are pretty damned good on the latest album, if you ask me. However, beyond that, Dark Horse sucks like an electrolux. the songs are generic, radio-friendly rubbish. I could go to five random rock stations anywhere in the country and hear songs which cover the exact same topics: Sex, living your last day as if it were your last, sex, love, sex, drinkin' and smokin', sex, and I think I forgot to mention sex. So what do I do, friends and neighbours? Do I just suck it up and listen to the horrible vocals and brilliant lyrics, or suck it up and listen to the horrible lyrics and improved vocals? Or do I just do the smart thing and stop listening to Nickelback altogether? | |
| Waking The Cadaver – Chased Through The Woods By A Rapist Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
There are very distinct positives and negatives to this song. I will list them now: The positives are that it has, um, well, it, hmmm, er...it...uh...um...anyway, on to the negatives. I am reviewing the demo version of this song, though the version which appears on Perverse Recollections of a Necromangler isn't much better. The song starts out with this really old-sounding sample which sounds as if it came from a documentary you might watch in a high school classroom. This sample happens to be the best, and most comprehensive part of the whole thing. Unfortunately, it only lasts about ten seconds, and does not appear in the Necromangler version, at least, I don't think it does. I have the album, but I can't be bothered taking ten seconds to check. Then, we have these horrible pig-grunt vocals. I don't mind them for the most part, but when the entire song consists of nothing but pig-grunts, it all gets quite monotonous after about 15 seconds. Speaking of the vocals, I don't hear any lyrics in this thing. All I hear is Briiiiii briiiiii briiiiiiii. Then, after the slow intro part, we get to the drumming, which, besides the juvenile lyrics and horrible vocals, is the worst part of the song. The drums are fast, I'll give them that much, but any ordinary person can just randomly abuse the drum kits at a high speed, so fast drumming isn't really anything to be proud of. And, if I'm to be completely honest here, that's all it is. Drum abuse. Assuming that they are using drums at all. I would not be surprised if they simply grabbed up a ping-pong ball, put it into a tin can, and started shaking the can up and down as fast as they could. I'm serious, listen to this thing, and you'll see. That's exactly what it sounds like. And, basically, that's it. The song doesn't have anything else to offer. It goes on for a few minutes more, but it's the same shit. The vocalist tries to do a death-grunt at one point, and that's okay, but it only goes on for a few seconds. Other than that, there is nothing of note here, besides maybe the lyrics which sound like they might have written by teenage boys trying to be cool and brutal, and writing the most Misogynistic evil lyrics they could think of. |

| Breaking Benjamin – Ladybug (EP Version) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Though I shall most likely be shot, tortured and thrown into a trash bin by truly hardcore BB fans, I have no choice but to quote a portion of a review of the EP on which this song can be found, as I feel that the person who wrote it truly expresses my opinion on this song better than anyone can. This review is from SputnikMusic: Ladybug is the closest thing that Breaking Benjamin has ever done to a punk song. It’s fast-paced, energetic, even contains a punk-style of guitar playing. Despite that, it’s one of the worst things I’ve ever heard Breaking Benjamin do. Ben sounds like he just paid a visit to the dentist, got more than enough novacaine, then went home and decided to record how he sounded, with a voice so overbearingly…overbearing, that it literally makes you feel like your musical IQ is dropping 10 points per every 10 seconds of his singing. The song is essentially (Insert random pop punk band), and (insert random older punk band), and (Insert random early bad grunge band) having a crazy threesome, giving birth to a hideous baby, which then proceeds to fall into a vat of chemicals, mutate gruesomely, come out, and terrorize a local town in Indiana with its terrible singing (someone get SciFi channel on the phone, I have an idea for their newest SciFi Channel Original Movie)" I tried to like this. I really did. Though I am more of a death metal kind of person, and mainstream metal is not really my thing, I do like BB in particular, and I also pride myself on at least giving every band I listen to a chance, rather than 90% of the assholes who listen to death metal, who classify music into two genres of music, (metal, and mainstream crap that isn't metal). And Breaking Benjamin have, in my opinion, mostly produced some great music. However, this song falls into the category of songs I really want to like, but just can't. Sorry to fans of this song. Please don't hurt me again. Please. It really isn't necessary. Besides this song, I love all of their songs, and have an altar erected in honour of Breaking Benjamin on which I regularly sacrifice goats. To the animal protection agencies out there: I was just joking. To the BB fans: Not that Breaking Benjamin is not worthy of goat sacrifice, you understand... |

| Breaking Benjamin – Into The Nothing Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| For whatever reason, when I first got Dear Agony, a few days before it was officially released, I completely neglected to listen to this particular song. I've no idea whatever why I chose to do this, as I recall listening to the preview of the song on Amazon, and liking it. But I did. Today, I was quite bored, and decided to listen to this track for no other reason than that it was the only track I had not really looked at on the album. That was an hour ago. I have been listening to it for almost an hour straight since then, save for a few minutes when I tried looking up a live performance on Youtube, to see if it sounded as good live as it did in studio. It started out fine. Then, Ben started singing, and a part of me shrivelled up and died inside. I don't know why, but he just does not sound good at all live, and that performance temporarily killed my liking for the song. However, I've no doubt that in a few hours, I will begin to like it again, for it truly is quite a masterpiece, if you just don't think about the fact that the singer sounds like a cawing chicken in the live version. | |
| Dethklok – Black Fire Upon Us Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Yeah, mang, I completely agree. This is so completely br00tal that after I'm done chewing on some animal guts whilst listening to this song, I'm gonna go down to my basement and slice off my own dick as a sacrifice to Dethklok and Satan. I'm so fuckin hardcore. Yeah. And stuff. | |
| Breaking Benjamin – Medicate Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I always thought that the lyrics of the chorus were make haiste, not hate. Also, it appears that the lyrics posted here are from the version of the song from the Breaking Benjamin EP that was released in 2001. The version from Saturate is the one with different words in the second verse. | |
| Breaking Benjamin – I Will Not Bow Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I like the song, and, if the rest of the album is like this, I will be looking forward to it. It doesn't seem to have too different of a sound from Phobia, but that is okay, because Phobia was a really good album. | |

octobersnackbar. I shall analyze your comments line by line. Here goes. First of all, was it really necessary to post that 8 times? I realize that you are not a very smart person , but to post a comment multiple times without even checking to see if it got posted, tut tut, it would appear that once you think that people can't get any dumber, they do. Metalheads, listen up: your bands are artless and laughable. Really, and what exactly would you, since you seem to have such a strong opinion of what art is, think is artful? Is it perhaps the shitty rock groups on the radio who use their heads for nothing more than hat racks and make up songs whose only purpose is to please the public? Or would it be the rap music that glorifies the killing of inocent people, drugs that kill people, and sexist bullshit against women? Is that art, good sir? I guess what I am trying to say here is that art can come in many different forms. What may seem beutiful to someone may seem like shit to someone else. So you have no right to say what is or is not artful. Next. This is the line that I feel the strongest about. Your scene is composed of antisocial misfits, pretentious stoners, and moronic sociopaths. Ah, the ramblings of the ignorent. I have a friend. he listens to metal. He thinks that CC is a good band. he is one of the nicest, most upstanding people you will ever meet. He carries no biases, he doesn't hate gay people or black people. He doesn't hate anyone until he is given a reason, and even then, he doesn't hate them, he just doesn't like them. He does not generalize and say that one group of people fit a particular stereotype, which is exactly what you are doing. You are putting all metalheads into one category, and saying, this is what every single one of you is like. No exceptions. Do you realize that it is exactly this judgmental shit that started things like the holocaust? Or at least, from what I know, that was part of it. I will give you something to judge. I am blind. I am of Middle Eastern descent. Are you going to say that I am being used by Al Quita to get bombs into the country because they would never suspect a blind person of being a terrorist? You are such an idiot. You look ridiculous to the outside world, your supposed angst and darkness and brutality are downright comedic, and you are walking punchlines for those of us with standards. Standards? You call that idiotic message you just posted a part of your standards? Enough said. Get a life, nerds. Why don't you get a life? You may have a problem with people that don't have lives, but I will tell you that I have a problem with people who have probably never listened to a metal song in their lives, who don't even know what cool people metalheads are, and think they can judge others just because they do everything that is considered normal and don't ever stray from the beaten path. In short, shut the fuck up. You make yourself sound like a dumb-ass without even trying. |
