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.
gogogo
Gone Too Soon from the album Dangerous.
"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.
