6/19 DLC Discussion: Angels & Airwaves, Owl City, and Queens of the Stone Age singles

[ClaptonsWig]

I bought every HMX song from rb1 until May 2012. Haven't been excited for a song since Alone by Heart in February. This has made me no longer buy tracks for the collection because there hasn't been anything I've wanted to balance out what seems like scads of "modern radio music." It's kind of sad for me to not look forward to announcements any more and the "band" hasn't gotten together to jam one time this year because there are no songs pulling us together that we haven't played a ton of times.

Like 6 straight up classic rock songs this year and CCR is love em or hate em. I get it's my fault I'm in the latter. It's not like a metal fan that can get a bit if a fix on RBN. It's not like the Who are coming there any time soon.

End of whining.

I've bought all DLC, including RBN, and what have I got to show for it? Not a damn thing. I can relate, but it's pointless to try b*tching /:

YES! YES! YES! *points fingers up in the air and hops down to the ring*

In My Head! My favorite QotSA song! Thanks HMX, definitely picking that one up. And it has keys? Interesting.

Do It Right!

[TheDescent]

Weird that QotSA only got a single. I'd have thought they'd get a pack.

I told you, Qotsa getting one song, and Daughtry getting 3. That's how these thing works.

AVA is cool, and Fireflies is goin' to be huge on keys.

Also, prepare yourselves: I'm working on In My Head with my REAL band and I have to say...

DAT HARMONIES.

[Mr. Tate]

YES! YES! YES! *points fingers up in the air and hops down to the ring*

That made me lol.

[ClaptonsWig]

Yeah, but when HMX usually announces a band ahead of time, it's for a pack and not a single.

Guess I need to tone back on hoping for a B-52's pack...

SOAD, Dream Theater and Avenged Sevenfold would like a word with you

[TheDescent]

(@In My Head) The riff actually reminds me of Monkey Wrench,

Time to go back to doing first impressions on multiple songs! Awesome!

6/19 Singles First Impressions

Let's start from the top, as in my most favoritest named song this week which is... The Adventure! Wooooooo!
I've heard Angels and Airwaves are highly requested, so I have high hopes!
It starts off nice and mellow, which is pretty coolio if you ask me. It gradually picks up in awesomeness and interest and then BAM! Hey, it's actually pretty decent! The instruments are interesting and the vocals are nice. Kind of reminds me of Blink-182 (the vocalist, mainly), but the instruments aren't as forceful as them. The bass is really interesting and the song's instruments as a whole work really well together to make an interesting composition. The song does a decent enough job to freshen things up every now and then, which is nice, and it definitely deserves a spot in the "will buy" list. The question is going to be "when?"
So I'm not disappointed. Hopefully the QotSA song will impress also!

You think the Angels and Airwaves vocals sound like Blink 182? I don't hear it?
sarcasm is fun.

We've learned around here certain "things" about Cipher.

It made me feel better to vent. That's my only point accomplished.

Comparing songs to completely unrelated things? He does that.
