Re: RATE A SONG - A SONG FOR A SON 1 year 7 months ago #100378

Darn this is in the low 80's, can we get this up any, please???? I'm very happy with the high ratings, and I can understand liking the live better than the studio, but really I don't think its fair to take points off of it because the live is better, because if that holds ture, the Ava Adore, and a ton of others would be a little lower :D Anyway I kind of expected the opinions to be very split, people either love or hate it. But if its this bad now, I'm gonna hate how low Owata is going to get :upset

Personally, I'm not taking points off this because the live version is better. The live version (well, ones I've heard) is a 10. The studio version is, to me, an 8. To be honest, I think 8 is a bit kind for a song with such uninterested vocals and awkward production/mixing, I'm probably rating it higher than I should because of how great the live version is.

OK, I'll shut up then, I'll take a little higher score then ;) I think that's a problem with a lot of Pumpkins songs is that they are played out live on tour, and people get these huge expectations for the studio versions in general. Also when is the voting going to close for this, it seems like most people have gotten in their votes.

I think all the new Oceania songs have put this one in perspective for me.

Your strength is my weakness, your weakness my hate
My love for you just can't explain
Why we're forever frozen, forever beautiful
Forever lost inside ourselves

It's a really good song, but the production is so dry.

My favorite "new" SP song. It made me really give Teargarden a good listen, and I found out I really like Teargarden.

10 for me.

Re: RATE A SONG - A SONG FOR A SON 1 year 7 months ago #100585

I'm liking some of the ratings, glad to see this one doing pretty good. But the rest of Teargarden is already digging its grave......

Off topic: How long due the polls usually last, I mean is it all run by Frank or what. Cause it seems like we've been on this one forever. I want to see the massacre of Widow Wake My Mind and the like :D

Rate the given song from 1-10. 1 being the lowest, 10 being the highest
The higher the number, the more you enjoy the song.
You can use any kind of decimal addition you like.
Anything below a 1 will be counted as a 1.
Anything above 10 will be counted as a 10.
If i can't tell what you're trying to rate the song your vote will not be counted.
If you for some reason decide to change your vote, don't modify your first vote, make a new post saying what your old and new scores are.
I'll compile the results for each song once the replies slow down or stop coming in, after that the score is set.
Feel free to discuss.

I really like this. Explosive, thick atmosphere, with a great chant. Nothing brilliant about though.

You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities...
