33. "This post made me go listen to this song for the first time" In response to In response to 21
I always find it really odd when someone gets on a song for its technical aspects just because, from gear to how it's played, I've never really cared. I just care how it feel to me.
Even though I have no idea what you were talking about in this post, I agree with your general sentiment that this is a "decent" song. Dozens of bands churn singles out like this every year, nothing about it feels new, unique or most importantly exciting. It doesn't take much to surprise me, I'll always consider "Everlong" an excellent song for example. But that's a song I feel like I've only ever heard when "Everlong" is playing even if it feels equally simple (I couldn't tell you if it actually is).
"Long Road to Ruin" seems like modern rock by numbers.
