Oh Love - Green Day

(Okay, this isn't my first impression, but I'll give an honest review)

The song starts off with some slightly distorted guitar, simple and easy to remember. The vocals come in and sounds like I've heard Billie Joe sing this tune a million times before. I hear some organ... And the band kicks in! Here's the chorus! Pretty nice. A catchy tune, with some easy and memorable lyrics. It's the same riff throughout on guitar, though. But the drums stay insteresting even while keeping a simple beat. nothing standing out on bass. The chorus is very catchy, I have myself singing it already! The vocals are a readl standout. Oh, that guitar solo! Pretty good. Nicely done. And here we are again with the simple guitar riff we heard in the beginning. The same with the vocals coming in. Organ, band, and chorus, Just like before. It's a simple melody that's gotten stuck in my head already! And there's a pretty predictable ending.

So yeah, pretty good, simple track. I feel the song is a mixture of their sound with 21st Century Breakdown, Warning, and with Foxboro Hot Tubs. I wouldn't give it a perfect rating, but it's pretty good.

Could You Bite The Hand? - Wolf's Rain

Starts off with a nice eastern sounding count in. Oh god, that guitar. It's incredible sounding. The vocals are sounding very good as well. This is a pretty fast paced song :O. I like the chord progression in this song. It flows very nicely. Oh jeez, mini solo. The guitarist here is very skilled, and the vocals are following along very strongly. The chorus is very beautiful, the vocals really compliment the guitar. I'm starting to focus more on the lyrics now, and they sound pretty deep, I guess. The guitar stays very heavy throughout with vast chord changes. And... it's over. Very nice indeed.

Album time! Today I listen to Get Sharp by The Limousines!

Square Circle Triangle/Dancing at Her Funeral
It starts off with some echo-y vocals. With more vocals and an organ in the back. It sounds kinda weird and angelic... but with some electronic sounds happening at the same time. Oh it's cool. This segues right into the next track. Which sounds...wow. The drums are just...wow. Fits perfectly with the synths. Awwww the vocals killed it. It's really cool sounding, but the vocals don't really fit for this track. Heres dem drums again, oh god that loop is great. I hear the same synth looping over and over in the back. And a nice deep bass synth. Grrrr these vocals are killing this song >:[. Finally different synths. THOSE DRUMS AGAIN. I don't know why but they're amazing. There was just a synth that sounded really cool.... but it's just over.... Here were go back to these repeating lyrics. And over. This song would be above average, but the vocals brought it to an average.

Internet Killed the Video Star
Kicking things off with lots of cool synths... and a cowbell! And the drums kick in giving this song a nice feel already! The vocals come in... they aren't as bad as before. Internet killed the radio...star. That's a nice part. I like it. Not much variety, I'm hearing the same stuff playing over and over again with different vocals. The chorus is actually pretty nice. This break is pretty cool sounding. I can't explain the keys that I'm liking.... it's like just random notes? I guess they're arpeggiated or something? Whatevs. Back to the chorus. More Cowbell! This song is very catchy. Definitely worthy of more plays.

Very Busy People
Things start off very nicely. It's a pretty sounding intro, and now we get into some real **** right here! I see a common theme with the bass just being octaves... well whatevs. The song has a nice sound to it, but I'm starting to think the title is irnoy of some type...or something. These things don't make them sound very busy :I. The vocals are progressively better throughout the album. Oh now it's just vocals and some keys. And just as expected, the other instruments slowly come in. Oh jeez, what is it with these songs with great drum loops? It's just really cool sounding. No, you are not very busy people, you are the opposite >:I. Don't you FA LA LA ME!!!! Oh, it's over

Teehee, what a funny title. It rhymes too! WOAH. That low brass in the intro... it just comes out you. It's awesome sounding! Drums sound great. This song's a little more synth-brass heavy than the others. Ehh, I'm not really feeling the vocals in this one. THERES THAT LOW BRASS AGAIN. IT SOUNDS LIKE DOGS. I LIKE DOGS IN SONGS. Maybe I will bring my dancing shoes :3. So this songs okay so far. Nothing other than that doggy synth is standing out. Dem harmonies, are pretty good too. OH A GREAT WAY TO END THE SONG, THANKS FOR ENDING WITH DOGGYSYNTH THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU.

The Future

The fuuuuutuuuuuuuureeeeee ooooooooooooooo. Let's see how futuristic this actually sounds :3. Starts out... not too futuristic OH **** DAT BASS-SYNTH. Okay, it sounds futuristic. The drums doesn't cease to amaze. And the bass is really making the song. The vocals fit well with this one. OH THERES A REALLY COOL SOUND ON EVERY 1ST BEAT OF THE CHORUS. The lead synth really work with the song as well. This is a very cool sounding song. This is definitely one of my favs so far. THERES THAT SOUND AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT IT SOUNDS REALLY COOL. Here's some synthy action right here! Robotic voice saying the future? Really cool. Oh ****, this break is really cool. All the instruments are flowing together so well. This a great sounding song. Nice soft ending. I love this.

Triangle Circle Square

Another weird name but okay.... here we go! Interesting start. It's got a real nice feel to it already. I'm getting an 80's vibe from this song. The bass is sounding great again, and them drums are just fantabulous again. The synth chords are really great sounding as well. Less vocals, which I think is better for this song . Focuses more on the instruments. Ohhhh synth solo! Lots and lots of vibrato! Just like that, more chords! This song is really alot more diversified than the other songs. And it just ensds like that???? Too short.

Wildfires

The song starts off with some chords and a whooooooooollllllllllllleeee lot of reverb. OH GOD AUTOTUNE GAAAHHHHHHH GO AWAY. DRUMS YEH. OH GOD BUT THAT BASS WITH THAT FILTER OH SO FUNKEHHHHH. I love that filter on the bass! Sounds so cool! That seems to be all thats standing out. The harmonies are good, too. I can get down with this! This is a pretty good dance tune, something that a lot of people I know would enjoy. What dat sounds like an asian film in the background lol. This break is pretty sweet. Back to the reverb-y chords with some reverb-y vocals over it. That filtered bass is still piercing through GOD I LOVE IT. OH GOD THOSE DRUMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THATS AMAZING WITH THOSE VOCALS IN THE BACK. THAT'S ****ING INCREDIBLE. AMAZED OVER HERE. OH MY GOD GREAT. What's that, walking sounds? WHY WALKING SOUNDS? Ah, it's over.

Swrdswllngwhr (Wishing Well)

Yo dude, I think you dropped a few vowels. I think that says Sword Swallowing Whore. :I. Oh well, onto the song! Starts off with some deep basssssssss which I like. What is that, a crow? Well. I was right about the sword swallowing whore. Well the drums and bass are really moving the song. Oh those arpeggios in the back sound really cool. Well the vocals are okay in this song. And here we are back to the chorus! It's better than the verses :P. OH **** THOSE DRUMS. Just some break... with some odd sounds. I like the choppy edited vocals. Really fits with the song. More breakdown! Dat bass! Arpeggios! More footsteps!!! GAHH!!! WHO ARE YOU STEPPING???? Oh more bass! with some "ah"'s and some weird high pitched sound looping... Oh ****! Nice synth coming in! Introducing more and more different parts! Ends with that high pitched sound... what is that???

Fine Art

Fine art! Oh thats a weird intro. Oh cooooooooolllll 8-bit sounding ****. THAT BASS OH GOD THATS GREAT. I'M HOOKED ALREADY. I am on the edge of my seat! The intro is great! Now the vocals comi in imitating the synth lead... meh. What is it with the drums and bass in these songs??? so awesome! Guh, I don't it like it when this guh kinda screams and sings, it's not very good. I'm more focused on the instruments! It's the same rhythm being played in the lead, but it works so great. And just as I say that it changes :I. AND THE DRUMS COME IN HNNNNGGGGG. Grrr the vocal imitating again.... A little breakdown. The breakdowns are always good. Well they change up the whole style now, don't they? This is a whole new chord progression! It works great too!. Same drums and whatnot as well. Man, the instruments really know how to keep me hooked!. And done! Great work!

Get Sharp

Last song! The song starts off with some cool sounding synths and some clapping. Oohhhhh nice tremolo there. The vocals seem to fit weel. Ha, cowbell. Eh, the drums aren't really doing it for me. Other than that, the songs are sounding good. Oh god those lyrics, turn off. Those are real bad lyrics. I don't know why, but the drums during the chorus don't sound very good. I really like what they do with the vocals during the breaks. The 8-bit sounding synths are sounding very good. They fit perfectly with the song. And it ends just like that. No wait, I still hear that 8-bit synth. Okay it's gone now

Blue is MUST buy
Green is will buy eventually
Yellow is will probably buy/high chance of enjoying it later
Orange is will listen to later to see if my opinion has changed
Red is probably not going to bother ever again.
