Album Analysis II, V Options

[Hoodstock]

The analysis of Throwing Copper seems to have run it's course, so it's time to move on.

The Idea - Analyze the album (in this case V) song by song, stating whatever you want or whatever comes to mind about each song. Go into as much or as little detail as you want and then summarize your overall thoughts on the album at the end. Just speak your mind openly. If there is a lot of feedback, we can do it again with another album at a later time.

You can copy and paste the following to make it easy if you want:

1. Intro

2. Simple Creed

3. Deep Enough

4. Like A Soldier

5. People Like You

6. Transmit Your Love

7. Forever May Not Be Long Enough

8. Call Me A Fool

9. Flow

10. The Ride

11. Nobody Knows

12. OK?

13. Overcome

14. Hero Of Love

15. Deep Enough (Remix)

Overall Summary:

[rocknerd]

1. Intro
What can 1 say about an intro? I guess it on 1st hearing it, it gave me ideas of a very loud album, or atleast one that should be played very loud.

2. Simple Creed
This son gets me movin' like a white man should dance. it probably could have used a bit more bass but overall a great track.

3. Deep Enough
This song is the the greatest song to screw to. there is plenty of time in life to make love but this song is about the hard stuff.

4. Like A Soldier
I love this song. I feel the Lyrics are timeless as we continue to live in this consumerist society and world where corporations are destroying small business. I also live on a mountain with a strong anti-capitalist view so this so is always going to be up there in my top live songs.

5. People Like You
Once again this song speaks to my youth and who I an. as the song goes People hate People Like You. this is my life

6. Transmit Your Love
Now I'm not a jimmy Buffet fan but this song is tops. it slows the album down to give you a breather and still has those catch lyrics to keep you singing.

7. Forever May Not Be Long Enough
This song is my favourite off the album due to its Egyptian over tones and a personal joke between my partner and I. I think the female vocals on the album are brilliant even if they are minimal. and the song is at the perfect tempo and perfect bass. 10 out of 10 on this song.

8. Call Me A Fool
this is a classic ballad. brings the album to a complete stop. a song for lovers, for teenagers to listen and think trhat Ed is reading there soul. I like it but it is not in my top 10.

9. Flow
This song is set to bring everyone out of there reflective state and get you moving again. I love it it gets the blood pumping when your workin around the house and helps to pass the time.

10. The Ride
this song has great egyptian qualities to it with the use of what sounds like a sytar but also with its anti-capitalist lyrycs keeps me rockin out just alittle more.

11. Nobody Knows
Another throw away ballad. the lyrics create some contemplation but over all it is a good song written with the idea of being filler.

12. OK?
This is a song with some anger in it. i love it. more anti-establishment raging, with anti-war sub-plot and a general sick and tired attitude of seeing people consume whilst the basic needs of the people at the low end of the socio-ecconomical circle are screwed regularly. if more people would listen to songs like this perhaps change would begin to happen quicker than it is.

13. Overcome
I dont particularly like this song, to slow to boring, and its use to effect emotion during that event made me get over it real quick!
As ballads go its pretty tripe.

14. Hero Of Love
This is my type of Ballad. it is everything I felt as a teenager of what it was to fall in love (completely wrong but who cares) the ideas of fate and destiny overall one of the many songs on this album that make up my top 10.

15. Deep Enough (Remix)
How do you make a great song better? get your mate to help you remix it.

Overall this is one of my favourite albums. regardless of what others think this album brought me a lot of happiness that as I was changing from a conservitive Liberal voting (republican to Americans) to a left wing socialist who whats nothing more than to be unemployed because there is no need for community service workers.
