Would I get a fan, if I never heard about that artist before and simply heard these songs? Would I get a LB fan if I never heard of him before and simply listened to the 3 new songs? I would say no. It was you and Show you how are songs I`d like to like and not songs I liked for themselves. That might develop, if I listen to these songs frequently. Still I am sure the album as a whole will be a good one. Shut us down f.e. as a relatively new song is sensational good for my ears. I would get a fan because of this one. I guess I like a little more instrumentation, esp. a little bit more guitar. I hope the rest of the new songs are more SUD style to make it not too much Brian Wilson-esque. |
These are my words dude. I totally agree, I feel the exact same way. The thing is, I've had that same feeling with several other tunes in the past. Wanting to love them focused me on those eeky gems and after a while they became anthems of my fandom.
Shut Us Down is simply among the five best songs he's ever done IMO. At the moment even my nr. one.
