Title: Horrible songs that are on awesome albums.
Post by: Jono2 on July 25, 2008, 10:52:14 PM
ehh

ever have one song on an album that you hate, but you love the rest?

yeah, this is the thread.

-The Salmon Dance (on The Chemical Brothers' We Are The Night)
-One Minute to Midnight (on Justice's debut Cross, mostly because it starts with a scream and makes switching songs on my uPod a game of russian roulette)
-all of the random Alice Glass screaming songs on the Crystal Castles debut album.

"Something About Us" on Daft Punk's album Discovery...yeah, yeah, it's decent, but it's a dance album.  Why would something soulful and slow be on a dance album?  "Nightvision" is better, imo, because it at least feels like a dance-y breakdown.


"XII's Dub" on Venetian Snares' album Cavalcade of Glee & Dadaist Happy Hardcore Pom Poms.  It's a boring as heck track that seems 3x longer than it really is.  And it's in between two amazing tracks ("Pwntendo" and "Vache"), so I usually just skip it.


"Dawn Over a New World" on Dragonforce's Sonic Firestorm.  Back when Dragonforce wasn't obviously repetitive and stuff, this song defeated their whole purpose.  A band that rides on speed to make good music making a slow song?  WHY?

Phoenix - Daft Punk's album Homework. It's terrible, there's no substance. What makes this worse is that it comes after Da Funk, their best song, and between Fresh, a pretty good tune.

it's basically bare hard house...although DP wanted to make some sort of "gospel/house hybrid" and that was apparently what came out.  It's a pure filler song, really, but it's enough to keep a crowd moving and can be inserted at any point in the middle of a house mix, if you think about it.

i had no problem with Phoenix, but it was obviously filler, and it wasn't exciting.
