I wanted to enter your Walrus, I already had some thing in mind like I was going with Showbiz for the pissed off singer category but I didn't make it in time. AND THEY MAKE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I approve of this post.

Except about Willi, I always applaud Swedish picks.

I wish you did, sounds like it would have improved the ratio of good songs to boring indie in 4/4 with 'amazing lyrics'.

Song with 'amazing lyrics' = Girl with 'nice personality'

Haha, was it you who submitted the song by the weird band from somewhere up north?

I clearly need to work on my patriotism, won't happen again.

I was thinking of Ghost from another game and Amon Amarth from this round. Both are Swedish.

'tho I did at some point go back and check len's sign-up OP and saw that he made no reference at all to hearing new things or w/e. (So maybe no (Colombian) neck-tie for len for now.)

sweet thanks guys

if I have time tomorrow I'll put up a signup thread (assuming nobody else does first)

I changed to Hysteria from this as I thought if fit the topic more. This is comfortably Muse's best song though.

Heh. Tell me Citizen Erased isn't a great song though.

I haven't really checked out the songs from this round, I blame the horrible 2p2 lag.

That said I wouldn't have known either are Swedish anyway

Listening again as I forgot which one this is. Nothing about it is interesting - pretty sure most decent bands could jam a song like this on the spot.

I like the first part of the song, they should've just built from that and made it a short but energetic song. The slow part in the middle and dragging it out to be a >7 minutes song feels unnecessary.

And then my universal complaint with Muse, I don't care for the vocalist. And I rarely care too much about the vocals, this complaint is reserved for Muse and Axl Rose.

I didn't know that Europe is Swedish. If I had guessed, I would have said that they weren't even European. Next you'll tell me Asia is from Asia.

It doesn't have amazing lyrics, that's never been a selling point. I couldn't even tell you what that song's about, it's just a sweet indie pop jam. The band has quite a personal and unique sound, but I think I realized during your Walrus that you put a greater value than me on the music being technically advanced or difficult to perform. I don't really about that at all.

I'm actually kind of curious what indie you like.

If you are not a fan of lyrics why even listen to songs with words in it? Why not just listen to instrumentals all day long?

If you think Muse is a hipster band you don't understand hipsterism. Their songs get played in shopping malls for ****s sake.
