best SP synth song since Ava Adore.

i like how the sound of the guitar and how they stop and start and go perfectly with the bass. the piano and synth are fantastic too. very fresh. and the megaphone backing vocals are beyond cool!

i love that.... haunting atmosphere that the keyboard create in combination with the guitar. the keyboard is also used at the right time, i can definitely see some aspects of the song being used at the wrong time, but bc really hit the nail on the head with this tune.

seconded, really like the high single piano notes, followed by the bass/guitar/synth. gives me the chills. seems like the solo style was merged with the pumpkins style, and it sounds so cool.

the live version is so much better than the album version...
the only two little problems I have with the album on a whole is this song and Starz...
these songs both really sound so much better live than they do on the album...

i want to say it sounds creepy but i don't know if that really fits.

Dogfighter28 · 07-01-2007, 12:07 AM

the out of key guitar wailing at the end of the chorus is awesome

On first listen i prefer Pomp.

That's how I'd describe it as well. There's a very ominous vibe to it. Very cool. Very different than the live version (which is good in its own way). This song ended up being one of the biggest surprises of the album for me.

Would I be wrong if I said it was somehwat NINesque?

hnibos · 07-01-2007, 12:30 AM

yea creepy is the word, the low distorted "for god" "and country" changing channels at some points really exemplify that. actually i caught it at 1:36, not sure its anywhere else

edit: and towards the end

it has that arcane night adore feeling with more pizazz, to me

Something about it just makes me think NIN, maybe the individual sounds.
