16725, Finally! Posted by mke, Thu May-03-01 07:08 AM
After reading so many journal entries, I was wondering what all the strife was resulting in.
On to the track:
- Recognisable, good, Storch keys, which links the song to the Jazzy sound we're used to.
- Very nice background Oriental-sounding vocals. They're definitely not part of the Jazzy sound we're used to. Very good, although I was really surprised at first.
- The beat is bangin', as everyone said. "DJ Peter Parker" or J-Swift? Anyway, it was nice to also have the live instruments as well, as the guitar is very, very nice and discrete. I don't think I can really hear the cello on real audio. The bass is great too.
- Lyrics/singing are very good too. I just hope that the vocals are clearer on the CD version. They're virtually indecipherable on RA.
- Overall sound is very interesting, as it is somewhere between recognisable and off-kilter, which fits in perfectly with the ordinary family/dark side subject matter.
I obviously like this song a lot, and I hope that this is a kind of benchmark for the album, in that the other songs will also show some kind of departure from the "Once and Future" songs (not that I didn't like them).
