You say always a classic, I might go so far as to say cop-out song. For me at least I did not have TV, radio or fast internet around the time this was released as a single so I did not even have it overplayed (white stripes were always a radio only band for me). It is probably not my favourite white stripes song but I do enjoy it. One day I hope to count all the triangles in the video.

Now a song of astounding lyrical complexity
Reverend Horton Heat - I Can't Surf

3/5. Usually like most of the MOS stuff and their elaboration on the original Bond theme + vocals was pretty good although I found the chorus to be a bit dull.



Definitely one of the more "radio" songs but I still enjoy it.

3/5 the movie sounds really interesting, the song was alright, I feel like I would like it more if I heard it in the context of the movie.

2/5. Everyone was freaking out about Soundgarden returning but I never found them all that great. I liked Audioslave better.



Sorry about the piss poor quality but there isn't much better on Youtube. But the collision of the king of arena rock and the king of modern metal? It's nothing less than spectacular.

I can't say the lyrics did much for me (seemed to be halfway to nonsense*) but everything every very much worked for me- I would say something about it being a nice fusion between two great styles of music but you seem to have beaten me to the punch there.

*possible need for a disclaimer- I have been listening to a lot of Judas Priest lately.

I fear this is a repeat but it should have been a year or two since I last posted it

I hate being the guy who criticizes personal music so take this constructively and not as my usual "omg u suck" rant like everything else on this site.

Perhaps it was just your recording equipment but your voice was just... eh. I'm not gonna pass a final judgment until there's better equipment honestly. Some standard floor mics aren't too pricey. It is a bit tricky though to record a musical performance though with amateur equipment. I've directed a few and they always sound bad. The mixing is never right.

The lyrics were... something to be desired. Like it just felt kinda generic. Try some more wordsmithing. Like I always appreciate good plays on words in songs for example. And rhyming isn't always necessary but it gives a song a real nice flow.

Even if your voice isn't cut out for singing you still have instrumental talent and you may consider getting a band together or something. Still, props for posting your own music on a public forum.

As for my song post...
