[MagicMurderBag7]

It's a special Rock Band edition first impression. Me only this time.

London Calling First Impressions

London Calling:
One of the two songs I know on the album. Fun little guitar song.

Brand New Cadillac:
Great guitar and cool sounding bass. I really enjoyed this track on guitar.

Jimmy Jazz:
I really really liked that one. The guitar sounded fantastic and I loved the sax. Looking forward to playing the keys on that.

Hateful:
Fun high energy track. Alt strummy but not in a bad way. It was okay.

Rudie Can't Fail:
Alt stummy in a bad way but there wasn't too much of it. This song sounded very similar to I Fought The Law. In fact while I was playing it my brother walked through the room and started singing it thinking that was the song I was playing.

Spanish Bombs:
Keys and drums sounded like the highlight of this track. The guitar was fun but I'm looking forward to trying those keys. The song itself was cool but I need to take a look at some of these lyrics in these songs. I have a hard time understanding what they are saying.

The Right Profile:
Nothing about this song seems to fit. It sounds like bits from other songs jammed together. Drums sound fun though.

Lost in the Supermarket:
The other song I already know on this album. I love this song. But I do think the Ben Folds cover is better. That opening guitar riff sounds so much better on horns.

Clampdown:
I did not care for that spoken word intro. it sounded like his mouth was too close to the mic or something. I couldn't really understand him. After that though the song was great. Sounded like it would be real fun on keys. I look forward to it.

The Guns of Brixton:
The guitar sounds sick, and I don't mean that in a good way. It literally sounded like the guitar was gonna throw up. Also the chorus sounded like it didn't fit. Like they were speeding through saying "the guns of Brixton". If that makes sense.

Wrong 'Em Boyo:
From the intro I was ready to say ugh and put this below London Calling but I quickly fell in love with it after the intro ended. Those keys sound fantastic. It really has that ska punk vibe that was big in the 90s. What a fun song.

Death or Glory:
Cool fun guitar. Not much to say. Sounds like a fun track to sing along to.

Koka Kola:
Really fun track, I really enjoyed that one.

The Card Cheat:
You know I love me song piano heavy songs . The piano sounds great and I wants to play that! However I couldn't understand a word he was singing.

Lover's Rock:
Hmm, I have mixed feelings about this one. It sounded great but it didn't sound like a Clash song. Just not something I would expect from them.

Four Horsemen:
Not much to say. It was okay.

I'm Not down:
This one seems to be all over (in a good way ). Fun song.

Revolution Rock:
The lyrics that I understood seemed a bit cheesy, but who doesn't love cheese? The drums on this song sound like a freaking blast. Makes me wish my drums weren't broken .


All in all it's a great album. Ilk give it an 8/10. Really glad I finally picked it up. And I know I'm missing a song. I plan on picking it up soon to complete the album.

Here are the song rankings. Not sure if they are where I would put them upon listening again but everything above Brand New Cadillac and below Four Horsemen is correct.

Lost in the Supermarket
Wrong 'Em Boyo
Jimmy Jazz
Koka Kola
The Card Cheat
Brand New Cadillac
Revolution Rock
Spanish Bombs
I'm Not Down
Clampdown
Lover's Rock
Death or Glory
Rudie Can't Fail
Hateful
Four Horsemen
London Calling
The Right Profile
The Guns of Brixton

[SuperTigerMario]

Honestly Lost in the Supermarket isn't one of my favorites on the album. However, Wrong 'Em Boyo and Jimmy Jazz are also two of my absolute favorites.

Now I need a keys playthrough because like you said you may appreciate some of these more on keys.

My list goes like this for a purely musical standpoint.

I'm Not Down
Death or Glory
Wrong 'Em Boyo
Rudie Can't Fail
Jimmy Jazz
The Right Profile
Koka Kola
Brand New Cadillac
The Guns of Brixton
London Calling
Clampdown
Lost in the Supermarket
Four Horsemen
Spanish Bombs
Hateful
The Card Cheat
Revolution Rock
Lover's Rock

Oh also I know that your drums are broken but if they ever get fixed Four Horsemen is great on drums.

[MagicMurderBag7]

From my list London Calling is the start of yellow and there are no red. And in between Brand New Cadillac and Four Horsemen is all in a mixed up order I think. It's hard to keep track of 18 (16) songs you're hearing for the first time.

I'll play through on keys and let you know what I think.

[SuperTigerMario]

I don't dislike the red ones but I just don't listen to them as often as the others.

[MegaIronDragonDeth]

What are some first impressions of this?


Sigh - Amnesia

[Gowienczyk]

I don't dislike the red ones but I just don't listen to them as often as the others.

Then they should not be red.

Well yeah, it's pretty repetitive like a pop song
Blake Smith 9:13 PM
i wondered how you titled things
Justin Preston 9:13 PM
Most are Cipher jokes
Chris Keough 9:13 PM
Well, things like "Sarsaparilla" really fit the mood of the song
Blake Smith 9:13 PM
well yeah
Chris Keough 9:13 PM
Spelling it was the real problem
Blake Smith 9:13 PM
haha
9:14 PM
at first i thought you had it wrong to be honest
Chris Keough 9:14 PM
It's not spelled like how it sounds at all!
Blake Smith 9:14 PM
yeah i had to google it
9:14 PM
twice
Chris Keough 9:14 PM
hahaha
Justin Preston 9:14 PM
Juxtaposition
9:14 PM
Cipher joke
Chris Keough 9:14 PM
Cipher joke right there hahaha
Blake Smith 9:15 PM
that was a good drum break
Justin Preston 9:15 PM
Ha
Chris Keough 9:15 PM
Yeah those were drum loops
9:15 PM
Royalty free, of course
9:15 PM
This is one of my favorite sounding synths
Blake Smith 9:16 PM
deep
9:16 PM
how do you choose the order of the album?
Chris Keough 9:17 PM
Eh, someof them are just when they were uploaded, and some I moved around for them to fit well.
Justin Preston 9:17 PM
Rise of the Moderator (8-bit Revolution)
Chris Keough 9:17 PM
Its a theme of mine to put short songs on every album.
Justin Preston 9:17 PM
Short
9:17 PM
Reminds me of the Jaws song
Chris Keough 9:17 PM
Inspired by the double banning of 2012
Justin Preston 9:17 PM
(Cooler Than) The Other Side of the Pillow
9:18 PM
Bass attack
Chris Keough 9:18 PM
Another synth recorded by me
9:18 PM
it's a Clavinet actually, like in Jungle Boogie.
Justin Preston 9:18 PM
This song really reminds me of TLC's Waterfalls
Chris Keough 9:18 PM
really?
9:19 PM
Never got that vibe.
Justin Preston 9:19 PM
Listen to Waterfalls again
9:19 PM
Snazzy
9:19 PM
Did we lose STM?
Chris Keough 9:19 PM
I can get where you're coming fom for Waterfalls, I just never noticed it.
9:19 PM
i don't know
9:19 PM
yup.
Justin Preston 9:19 PM
Yeah his internet has been doing that
9:20 PM
This song is really cool.
Chris Keough 9:20 PM
Well the show must go on.
9:20 PM
One might say it's... Snazzy?
Justin Preston 9:20 PM
I think I listened to it before
9:20 PM
Perfect name!
9:20 PM
Real guitar?
Chris Keough 9:20 PM
Really drifts away from the electronic sound of the album.
9:21 PM
Yes, real guitar.
Justin Preston 9:21 PM
It reminds me of these animated thingys I saw once
Chris Keough 9:21 PM
Weird how things work out, the bass line was recorded first for this. And I had a guitar riff that I had written a while ago, and it actually fit perfectly with the bass line.
9:22 PM
ah STM's back.
Justin Preston 9:22 PM
Highlighting the piano
Blake Smith 9:17 PM
well that was fun
Chris Keough 9:22 PM
Heh.
9:23 PM
You wanna join in from where we are?
Justin Preston 9:23 PM
I have to see if I can find those animated orchestra thingys so I can show you
Blake Smith 9:23 PM
and back
Chris Keough 9:23 PM
Alright sounds cool
Justin Preston 9:23 PM
Breakout
Blake Smith 9:23 PM

Justin Preston 9:23 PM
Vocals... sorta
Chris Keough 9:24 PM
Rap removed.
9:24 PM
That's in the single version.
9:24 PM
Too fly for the album.
Justin Preston 9:24 PM
Aw
Blake Smith 9:24 PM

9:24 PM
i wanted to get jiggy with it as the kids say
Chris Keough 9:24 PM
ha
Justin Preston 9:25 PM
My booty is shakin'
Chris Keough 9:25 PM
But yeah this song can get kinda long without the vocals occupying it
Blake Smith 9:25 PM
so this whole part has vocals usually?
Chris Keough 9:25 PM
Yeah like 3/5 of the song
Justin Preston 9:26 PM
Shouldn't have removed them
Blake Smith 9:26 PM
why did you remove it?
Chris Keough 9:26 PM
There's another version by itself on my website with the vocals.
9:26 PM
Because. Too fly for this album.
9:26 PM
haha
Justin Preston 9:26 PM
This should be the bonus one and that should be the album one
Chris Keough 9:27 PM
I got sick of hearing my own voice, really heh
Blake Smith 9:27 PM
i feel that
Justin Preston 9:27 PM
Whoa guitar solo
9:27 PM
Out of nowhere
Chris Keough 9:27 PM
Yeah, supposed to be after the last chorus, but theres no choruses
Justin Preston 9:27 PM
Kick ass solo
Blake Smith 9:27 PM

Chris Keough 9:28 PM

Justin Preston 9:28 PM

Chris Keough 9:28 PM
You'll thank me for not including it

Blake Smith 9:29 PM

Justin Preston 9:29 PM
Starting real slow
Blake Smith 9:29 PM

Chris Keough 9:29 PM

9:29 PM
dem synths
Justin Preston 9:29 PM
It sounds like a farewell song
Chris Keough 9:30 PM
Great album closer
Blake Smith 9:30 PM

Chris Keough 9:30 PM
The drums are actually my favorite part
9:32 PM
Ending on a high note.
Justin Preston 9:32 PM
This part sounds church organy
Chris Keough 9:32 PM
Not...literally... but you know what I mean
9:32 PM
It's an organ alright.
9:33 PM
And that's it.
Justin Preston 9:33 PM
Penis joke
Chris Keough 9:33 PM
We good?
9:33 PM
Favorites?
Justin Preston 9:33 PM
STM? You still there?
Chris Keough 9:33 PM
says he's offline
Justin Preston 9:33 PM
Favorites for me were Sarsaparilla and Snazzy
9:34 PM
Nothing else really stuck out
Chris Keough 9:34 PM
Sarsaparilla and Sunrise/Sunset for me.
9:34 PM
Just a fun old timey dance tune.
9:35 PM
With a modern twist.
Justin Preston 9:35 PM
What a twist!
Chris Keough 9:35 PM
Reaganomics!
