Glen Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 One of the greatest ballads you will hear this year - pure genius. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Cguf6qtsEw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heaven&hell Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Upon first listen it was kind of boring but maybe a few more listens it will grow. I still plan on getting the disc when I get back to a Walmart probably this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 6 minutes and 28 seconds instantly turned me off. Upon listening to the actual song, though, I must completely agree with Wes. What on earth are you hearing there, Glen? I'd skip this one 10/10 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the vocals are nice, but yeah, like you say, just a boring song with uninteresting lyrics and not even a sniff of a hook or anything nice. Was there even a chorus?

You have to repeat a hook/chorus for it to sink-in and this one doesn't. As I mentioned before, I do really like this album but it's nowhere close to the classic it's being hyped as, and I would've much preferred a collection of songs with simpler structures and less showboating...

Clutch Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I picked up the cd yesterday at Walmart. Spun it a couple of times and overall, it's really good. Glad I got it. But the cardboard sleeve trick for packing is some of the cheapest I've seen. Not impressed with that aspect. On topic, some great songs are on the disc but I don't feel this ballad is one of them. That said, I'm not a ballad guy and they really have to grow on me. In time, maybe this one will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 To each their own. Classic stuff to these ears. The chorus is huge as well, not sure where you guys are coming from. A song really couldnt get more epic IMO and the arrangements and playing are just awesome. I tell you what I'll just recoil into my little hole and enjoy it all to myself ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
