Just sink into it like it's a warm bath. Don't be ashamed to like a band that brings the fucking rock to the table.

I actually saw them live, against my will, but didn't hate it. I have a love/hate relationship with them. Most of the hate based on the fact that I "Shouldn't" like them.

Well neither should I. I spent years bashing them. Til they came out with the fucking Black Parade. They're an acquired taste (which is why I don't use them in my list--but I was really, really temped to put Mama in this time, but decided to save it for next time).

The End
Dead!
I Don't Love You
Teenagers

The End is one of the better Pink Floyd circa The Wall/Queen parodies I've come across, Dead! is perfectly arranged and performed, and Teenagers is just a lot of fun. I Don't Love You is a wildcard...I should hate it, but it's a good tune and works well within the album.

Other than that...:shrug:

Hmmm. I like 2 of those songs, love one, and am indifferent about one.

My favourites are Houses of the Wolf, Mama, Sleep, and Sharpest Lives.

See, Mama is an interesting track. Depending on my mood, it either works for me or it doesn't. It's certainly creative, if uncomfortable.

Dead! is definitely my favorite. It just comes roaring out of the gate and doesn't stop, while managing to inject a good melody in there as well.
 
So, I'm through disc one of Bono_212's list. I give the songs an A and the flow a C, so that's a B for the first disc.

I'm especially curious to see what you think of the second disc's flow, considering I sequenced it. :lol:

The songs are definitely superior on that disc IMO.

Actually Dead is in my top favourites off that album too. I think it's really good except I'm not so into Cancer, I Don't Love You, and Disenchanted.

I'm actually taking a break from it. I need to finish watching Heat so I can return it.

I still need to watch Heat. Actually, I was supposed to set up Rushmore for tonight, but now I'm listening to Queen's Greatest Hits I & II, and have no clue why. Oh well.

Damn it, Freddie. Your vocals are very distracting.
 
Overall thoughts:

Flow and mood are spot-on.

I got kinda bored during the first part, but the playlist pretty much gets better and better once you hit Airbag. Lots of great songs there at the end. It's a list I need to be in a certain mood to fully appreciate, I think. Overall I'd give it a 7.5-8/10, depending on my mood :wink:

Cool. :up: especially considering I only put 3 hours into making it
 
K, I'm back, had to help my brother with this game he was playing, so he'd go to bed. Anyways, elMel, looks like you'll be ok with at least one song on Chass' list then, since it's "I Don't Love You"

Tourist, glad to hear that you at least like teh songs on the first disc, and hey a b overall ain't bad.
