I dont like it, but then I come here and find out it's most people's favourite track. To me is just sounds pants, rubbish chorus, boring song.

All of these polls are retarded.

Anyway, I like 'Bleeding the Orchid'.

I've been surprised with how well received it's been. It's not my favourite from Zeitgeist, that's for sure. I voted it's ok.

It's good :)

There's better on the album but it's a pretty nice song.

People disliking BTO, is just as absurd as people liking DFA/P&C

this song assumes that i have nothing better to do than to sit around and pay attention. remember when you first heard jellybelly and you weren't quite sure what just happened but the intrigue was undeniable? there isn't one song on here that does that for me...

Yeah, why would you actually sit around and pay attention to the music you are listening to? :erm:

i just DESPISE the vocal treatments on this album,

but it through a filter or something bill, your voice is too bold for unadulterated soul burning

It's the only track on the album that sounds like it could have been on MCIS.

Orchid live > Orchid studio

Live version has much more energy, as well as the extended part with the solo at the end.

The studio version lacks energy, sounds like billy is half asleep and bored. The solo is completly overpowered and drained out by the shitty vocals at the end. Could have been much better. I was really looking forward to hearing this studio recording too.

I don't get the love for the song either. The chorus is annoying and boring, and I just don't care for the vocalizing in the intro either... it's just a weird song in an even weirder spot on the record.

I actually think Orchid Studio > Orchid Live. I didn't really care for the live version at all.

Dude, the solo in live version is killer. Wheres that shit on the studio?

slunken
07-02-2007, 02:49 PM
the album version just really doesn't do much for me...in my opinion it's the worst song on the album...

not into the lyrics, not into the hook, and where's the killer solo?

yea yea P+C but that's at the end so it almost doesn't count...

It kind of has a bit of a Pug vibe. I like it, it's not the best track on the album, but it's good.

does anyone else think this song sounds like "In bloom" by Nirvana?

it's that damn ya-ya vibe...just listened to the song again and yea its my least favorite...but it makes me even more stoked when That's The Way comes on...

It's the only track on the album that sounds like it could have been on MCIS.

what could you even be talking about?

it's all those non-descript reverberated thin guitars that flooded Machina like on GATGC. the riffs used to speak for themselves but it seems since Machina he just plots a chord progression on the acoustic and then floods effects over the top of it. case in point would be the recent acoustic performances of The Crying Tree of Mercury.

there was no crutch like this on Here Is No Why. Bodies had extra effects like that but they were ultimately pummeled by the simple straightforward riff.

So do I. It's a classic SP song!

it reminds me alot of speed kills, the single version. i feel both of them are good tracks yet somehow feel like they are trying too hard to be mid-90's

This song, along with Starz, were songs where my initial impression was "Hmm, I think this song sounds better live."

It's not my favorite, but I like it. It was cool to hear the album version after listening to the live version so many times. Live version = album version.

Yeah, the riff and the watery effects make it feel a little like "In Bloom" and Come as You Are" as well as its place early in the album.

When I heard it live, I was blown away. Now that I've heard the studio version, I find myself very dissapointed, afwul studio version
