The greatness of this song is that all transitions are perfect and smooth. The song is completely coherent unlike most of prog rock where transitions are often choppy.
I agree - Beastie Boys always shouted too much for my liking, but obviously a lot of people like that kind of thing. - Parrrrrr-tey!!!! I always thought they were drunken frat boys (obviously they weren't, but, y'know, first impressions!). Public Enemy, Tribe Called Quest etc were just so much better.
Streetlight Manifesto is one of my favorite bands, but "pioneers of the ska genre" is way off. They're a late 3rd wave ska band. First wave ska developed in Jamaica in the late 50s/early 60s as a precursor to reggae. 2nd wave ska (two-tone) was popular in the Caribbean diaspora in the 70s-80s, and third wave developed in the late 80s and into the 90s, fusing traditional ska styles with punk. So SM represents a fun evolution of a long long history of ska.
It’s his most appealing or approachable work. I wouldn’t say it’s his best album. I think the last three songs on Meathole can go up against anything in his catalog. The way he rips up his own music is mind boggling.
Gosh people should grow some thick skin. The guys do have a good taste in music, and they did like the music, just not the vocals (which I admittedly don't enjoy either)
I’m in the middle of stepping into responsibility in a family crisis where my father is being hospitalized right now. And I have never really heard Björk before I was aware of her but hadn’t really listened closely. And this song and a lot of her songs seem to be about lookingdirectly at stress and crisis and sometimes that is ecological crisis especially with her later stuff or emotional crisis or relationship crisis any kind of critical point and turning transforming it into an emergence rather than just what we think of as an emergency
I can’t for the life of me understand why some reactors choose to chop a song up like this. How could anyone possibly like to listen to a song like this. I think it’s disrespectful to the artist and if it’s to get around the copyright issue, there are better ways than butchering the song. No thanks, I’m out.
It's dark horse. Black sheep is the bad apple in the family. Anyway, brilliant song. Steve Hackett liked being able to experiment and Genesis was the perfect way for him to do so.
The reason this is so good is that it has a wonderful classical English melodic sense rooted in British folk and hymns - very pastoral. An American band could never have been able to do something like this.
