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:

[Hoodstock]

1. Intro
Interesting introduction. I ended up liking it simply because it flows right into Simple Creed. I actually think it is part of the song, but it was placed as a seperate track for radio purposes.

2. Simple Creed
Heard this song and instantly loved it. Great opening guitar riff and tons of energy throughout. One of Live's best songs. Perhaps the best song since TDTH.

3. Deep Enough
This is where my opinion of this album quickly began to change. I appreciate the idea of doing something differently artistically, but this song is horrible.

4. Like A Soldier
This song is somewhat listenable. It actually had some potential to be alright, but was ruined as a whole with certain segments.

5. People Like You
WTF? The only good thing about this song is that they say "Springsteen" and "pissing in the mainstream". This song sucks.

6. Transmit Your Love
One of the better songs on THIS CD. Unfortunately that isn't saying a lot about this song or this CD. Can't listen to it anymore.

7. Forever May Not Be Long Enough
My vote for the worst Live song ever made. Just start listening at the 1:10 mark to cut through the light crap and straight to the real crap. If I made a CD in my basement, I wouldn't have put this on it.

8. Call Me A Fool
#2 song on this CD. It's not all that bad. I can listen to it, but because it's on this CD I don't.

9. Flow
First of all, the quiet intro was a totally awesome idea - love it. Song then starts off rocking I'm starting to think I really love this song and then at the 1:23 mark Ed starts in with his "Floooow, Flooooow" high pitched crap. Totally ruined the entire song, rendering it unlistenable. If anyone has a version with that crap edited out please let me know!

10. The Ride
Just a dumb song that overall does not sound good on the ears.

11. Nobody Knows
From what I've seen on this board I think I am in the minority thinking this is an alright song. That's all I can say - it's alright.

12. OK?
Will I ever like this song? "Not today, Not today"

13. Overcome
When I heard the opening piano to this song for the first time I was thinking "Oh my god, Live's got another huge hit on their hands ... and then the rest of the song happened. The vocals and lyrics totally ruined it. I absolutely hate this version (although I do enjoy the live version on Radiant Sea).

14. Hero Of Love
The part where Ed sings "Hero of Love" is great. The rest of the song is garbage.

15. Deep Enough (Remix)
This version is worse than the original. Total crap.

Overall Summary:
With the exception of Simple Creed , which I feel is an awesome song, this album was total crap and a waste. This is Live's worst album, PERIOD. I listened to it the first time and thought to myself, maybe I just need to listen to it again so it grows on me. The only thing that grew was a nasty feeling in my stomach (I think this album gave me the flu) and a desire to get my money back. I actually would still appreciate a refund.

The vocals and Overcome are great and nearly perfect. Forever may not be long enough is nowhere near Live's worst song and not even anywhere near the worst song on this album. Your opinion of this album is that it's crap, I think that it's your opinion of this album that's crap.

How do you expect any credibility when you're a fan of The River? That is one of Live's top three worst songs hands down and a thousand times worse than anything off of V. No bridge, no bass, no guitar riffs of any significance...just plain garbage. So for you to sit there and call V crap while you're probably listening to The River locked in pedophilia fantasy, makes your opinion invalid and makes you a blubbering retard.

So instead of album analysis, go analyze how to shrink your gigantic asshole down to a regular size so you can stop wearing adult diapers. Maybe tell your mom to stop smoking enormous amounts of crack, so that the neighborhood scumlords will stop taking it out by bending you over twice a day.

God you're a moron. Can't believe you are allowed to breathe the same air as I am. Jesus.

FanBoy - This is a forum to review the album. I'm being honest and stand by what I say, this album sucks (no offense Simple Creed). It's not even listenable!

Instead of focusing on my review why don't you man up take a second to do a review yourself and put your opinion out there. While I can handle your criticism, and anyone elses on this album, I guess your to pussy to break it down and get your own shit ripped. It doesn't even matter but I know I'm in the majority on this one.

Give us a review chicken shit!

Instead of hugging cock, why don't you give a real review? You call saying this song sucks and that song sucks without giving any objective criticisms, an actual review? I call it nonsensical babblings from a little fucktard hick. Give an actual reviw and maybe I'll follow up with one. Until then, hide from daddy cos he'll be home to stetch that asshole some more.

First of all, apparently you missed the entire premise of the thread when I stated:

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..

Secondly,

Instead of hugging cock, why don't you give a real review?

You're the one hugging cock saying that this album is any good. Why don't you give a real review, I still don't see it! Sorry you can't handle my opinion or any criticism of Live for that matter.

While you're at it you can also throw in your two cents in the TC album forum. Although, after the exchange rate, you'll probably owe money!

stetch that asshole some more.

You are just obsessed with assholes! Nice focal point duchebag!

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and they are entitled to it. Just because you don't agree with an individuals opinion doesn't make it wrong. Geez, what a boring place it would be if we all agreed on everything.

While I love LIVE and probably always will, I can still admit that some of their recent work is not my favorite stuff.

Can you take a break from wiping your ass in the backyard long enough to use your brain?

I'm criticizing your review you retarded ass monger. Your review sucks. Nowhere did I say I liked V did I? No, you braindead monkey. Why? Because I hate it just as much as you do you fucking babbling waste of skin.

Know facts before calling anybody fanboy, instead of makling shit up in your lice infested head. If anybody is a fanboy here, it's you. Insisting The River is great and that SFBM is actually anywhere near a decent album.

Anyhow retard, thanks for proving my point.

Now you look like a total ass. You say my review sucks, but then you say the album sucks! So ... you agree with my review. Nice!

Stop wasting my time and type up your own review or shut the fuck up!

While, I don't agree with the majority of Hoodie's review, he is entitled to write it. To personally attack someone because you don't agree with their opinion is short-sighted and idiotic. Hoodie was being respectful and you were being a jerk. Its as simple as that.

Balh blah blah blah, enough drivel already. What I was attacking was the way he reviewed it. All he gave was "this song sucks" 50 times over. Try telling people why and having some reasonable substance behind it. His opinion doesn't mean shit until it is supported with some resonable, objective way of thinking.

While I agree that I'd rather see Roseanne Barr in concert before listening to V again, the way he reviewed it shows that the average 9 year old is smater than him.

So it may be "as simple as that" to you, but that really isn't saying much.

Ouch! First of all, I'm not by from a trailer park, but thank you for offending everyone here who is! Glad you have a biased against people struggling economically!

Now, I'm done with you. I look forward to reading anyone else's review of V!
