I would suggest doing everything that has been released prior to Teargarden first, and then move onto Teargarden... then we can just keep rating new songs as they come out. Keep things together that way.

Sounds good

9.6 from me.
Yes its overplayed and I sometimes skip it myself, but Im giving it a score that to me reflects how it would be, if not overplayed.

The question has to be asked...


how does the frequency of hearing the song even affect the quality of the song?

I say, 9

In a general sense it doesn't - when I rated this song I gave what I believed to be a correct score based on my entire listening experience with BWBW and not just the one at present.
BUT
Some marks may have been taken off due to the song being not repeat friendly. There are songs I will NEVER get sick of: including, Crush, Luna, Starla and Mayonaise to name a few. But BWBW grows old fast, even though it sounds good on initial listening, it depreciates quicker than most songs.

8.5

Alright. I don't agree, but I can understand it a lot better from that point of view.

Yeah, I'd say that for me, I'm just not as full of rage as I used to be. And though I still believe I cannot be saved, it ceased to be a big deal years ago

good one Venison.

i do like the song a lot, but i do get sick of the studio version sometimes which is why i often listen live versions instead. they have tons more rage.

fantastic easy 10. proof that the simplest songs can way outdo complex ones for emotion.

This song has strong lyrics. Everything about it is good, but they could have done more with it.

8.2

i think it was supposed to be quiet, stripped down and bare, played on a busted amp... what more could be done with it

check this out!

9.8

This one is epic! I love every single moment of it.

10 points

Didn't particularly like this song upon first listen, but it really grew on me. Such an intimate song and vital to the overall feel of the album, I feel.

8.9

Back to the tens...

i always loved this song although i always found it kind of sad. some of the lyrics like the birthday bit remind me of those internet "confessions" Billy wrote about his childhood. it is definitely an intimate, emotional sort of song. a 10 for sure.
