Ha, this song was actually used for an anti-smoking ad here in Australia. A really graphic smoking ad, might I add. Yep, that's just how we roll down here in Oz.

Okay, fine, I will admit that you did get a mild laugh smirk out of me.
Anyway, the pronunciation was wrong, it's more: InnVAderrs. See the difference?

No, the lyrics weren't exactly great on that track: rhyming a word with itself ('done' with 'done'), rhyming 'fire' with 'desire' (my most hated metal cliche), including the line "Rivers flow with blood", rhyming 'crying' with 'dying', and the one you mentioned. It's guilty of a lot of lyrical cliches and failures.

The rest of the songs from the album have pretty decent lyrics, though, like those in "Coming Home".

Iron Maiden - "Mother Russia" - 9.5/10
This is easily one of the best tracks off of 'No Prayer for the Dying' - an album that I don't actually consider to be that bad. And, if I'm going to be completely honest, I think I get more listening pleasure out of it than I do from 'Number of the Beast'. I think this is one of the best 'NPftD' tracks for two reasons - a) Dickinson's voice is less scratchy/screechy on this occasion, and b) Maiden really have managed to create that (almost)neo-classical metal sound on this track, which is something that I noticed a lot of on the 'Dance of Death' album (which is one of their best albums, in my opinion).

Stuart Chatwood - "Introducing the Prince" - 9/10
This isn't the best or most exciting track on the 'Prince of Persia: Sands of Time' soundtrack, but it's still pretty darn good to listen to.

Michael Land - "Jazzy Voodoo in the Swamp" - 10/10
This piece of music is cooler than anything I've listened to tonight, and it's cooler than anything you've listened to tonight.

Punctuation through gramatisation isn't worth proclimating.

Streets.

"Sunday morning" 6/10 - not a bad song, little more mellow than I like though. Also, hearing American songs on German radio is just a little weird to me.

[joek86]

"Separate Lives" The Alan Parsons Project 9/10 I liked it enough I replayed immediately after my first hearing.

[Martin McFly]

"Howlin' For You" by The Black Keys - 8.5/10 Very catchy beat and always a pleasure to listen to.

Hagen Rether, "Vorzeigelinker" 9.5/10
(Roughly translates "Exemplary left-winger")

That is such an intelligent song from one of the best German cabaret artists. Very funny. Deeply depressing.

[ShaggE]

Listening to Within Temptation's new album for the first time right now, and it's good so far. The symphonic sound is kind of shoved into the background, though, and that's disappointing. There's also a distinct lack of the softer songs that they do so well.

Maybe i'm a prude, but this is a poor state of affairs. There's a few smells that fly around during coitus but I doubt any of them would make there way onto a Magic Tree air freshener in someones car.

The whole chains and whips thing has to be the most tired and cliched example of sadomasichism going about, I was uttering phrases like that when I was a young warthog about to start secondary school, except thery were always in relation to someones mum of course.

Don't even start me on what the song actually sounds like the lazy uninspired production is just bland city.

This ain't Umbrella to say the least

The Dwarven Noble Theme from Dragon Age: Origins. Probably my favorite of the origin stories in Dragon Age, and I love how the music complements the militaristic style of the city and civilization. 8.5/10

Go listen to Gary Moore.

The Shape Of Things To Come - Battlestar Galactica OST, Bear McCreary - 9/10

Probably my favorite song on my favorite show. I absolutely love this track. It has the perfect blend of mystery and portent for the scene in which it's featured, and the aesthetic value of the song itself lends it to easy listenability.

[doodo!]

I wanted to share this band.

It's pretty good.

I know people who played with Rory gallagher, apparently he was a bit of a bully boy.

Iron Maiden - "When the Wild Wind Blows" - 10/10
And with this, I've finally concluded my chronological listening of Maidens entire catalogue. And on what better note to do so? This song is easily within my top 5 Maiden tracks, and one of my top 10 tracks of all time. This is probably one of the most profound things Steve Harris has ever written; the lyrics are great and deep, and the music at the beginning end of the track is hauntingly beautiful. I really love this track, and if 'The Final Frontier' were to be Maiden's last album, then this would be the perfect swansong.

Nine Inch Nails - "Mr. Self Destruct" - 9/10
Good stuff, good stuff. Not the best track on 'The Downward Spiral' (that honor goes to "Hurt"), but still pretty darn good. Great lyrics too.

A considerable amount of the world's best musicians aren't squeaky clean. Like that one guy who springs to mind whenever the words 'asshole' and 'lead vocalist' are used in the same sentence.

Alestorm - "Death Before the Mast" - 10/10
I can't not love this stuff. I love pirates and love metal. So when the two are combined, along with some good songwriting, and a certain degree of intentional goofiness, it just results in an incredibly likeable form of music. This track here is one of my favourites from 'Captain Morgan's Revenge'.

Dream Theater - "Peruvian Skies" - 10/10
A somewhat uneventful first half sets up for a second half of amazing Deep-Purple-meets-Metallica riffage. This is one of the best tracks off of one of Dream Theater's worst albums.

Christophe Heral - "Thoughtful Reflections" - 10/10
Quite beautiful, really. If you don't feel anything when listening to this, I don't think you're fully human. I loved/love 'Beyond Good & Evil', and the soundtrack is simply brilliant, and compliments the atmosphere of the game perfectly. I encourage all appreciators of good music to go and download it (free and legally!).

this.
