I honestly could put a lot of songs from Wolves as my least favorite. Can Anybody Hear Me (is this a Simple Plan song?) My Home (I like the chorus, but the verses sound too poppy and electronic) Goodnight, My Love (this sounds like an Anberlin song from the "Dark Is the Way" era) Like Ghosts (this is just terrible) Praying for Rain (yes. this song. it's kinda boring, and far from an "epic closer") I also HATE the dubstep bridge thing in The Eternal Battle for Mike Cronin's Soul, I hate it because it is ruining an awesome song.
I do not disagree with this post. If they'd released an EP of the songs not mentioned in this post, it'd be tight. I feel like there's a lot of boring songs on Wolves.
I agree with a lot of this and here are my replies lol. Can Anyone Hear Me is the only one I really skip on Wolves. I don't dislike it, it just doesn't really stick with me. LOL-ed at the Simple Plan line though, I can't really argue it lol. I heard this done acoustically though and it sounds a lot better stripped down. I really love My Home even though it is poppy and electronic. I think if they hadn't gone super pop and electronic on a lot of other songs, it'd stand out more but on this album it just kinda blends in with the rest. You nailed the Anberlin comparisons on Goodnight. The outro jam sounds like Prey Tell. The thing about Praying for Rain is if the song was a lot shorter it'd be a ton better. The first half is so boring and spoken word part is a no no. After the spoken word part "Take my life, it's only blood" into the guitar solo is amazing though. The dub step bridge in Mike is not a deal breaker for me, but either a solo or hardcore break down would have worked sooooo much better and was missing dearly from this album.
Yeah, and the intro sounds similar to We Owe This to Ourselves, haha. I also agree with what you say about the songs. They could've been better with/without something.
If you had to chose one EP, which one would it be? EP : How Can We Go On Miracle Can Anybody Hear Me Youth/I Swear I'm Okay Like Ghosts Goodnight, My Love EP 2: Bang Bang A Part of Me The Eternal Battle for Mike Cronin's Soul Give Up My Heart My Home Praying for Rain
Picking just two favs is hard... I'd have to do How Can I Go On and either Part of Me or Swear I'm ok. Bang Bang and My Home are close behind though.
The correct answer is that it's a trick question and you go: How Can I Go On Bang Bang Miracle Youth/I Swear I'm Okay A Part of Me The Eternal Battle for Mike Cronin's Soul lol
YES! These are my picks as well. I would have A Part of Me and I Swear switch places, because it would make the tracklist feel a little more natural.
This is so sad. They always seemed like they were having so much fun together and knowing that Phil was basically kicked out leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
