[jorma]

It's awesome.

britpop >>>>>> any other pop

 

[LOCK]

Their CD was petty good. I really loved Daniel in the Den.

 

[A6M3]

I like it, not bad at all

 

[Race to be King]

Listening to it right now. My favourite song on Bad Blood is Laura Palmer though.

 

[PseudoKirby]

there is no way in hell that you can put this song as the worst when you have that Royals song, that song can burn in hell.

 

[Arjen]

I like it, but it's a bit overplayed by now. That new single off the night, is really really awfull though.

 

[Dead Man]

Having the first listen now, it seems utterly boring indie rock. Pretty manufactured sounding, very boring, very predictable, but not the worst, unfortunately.

 

[Clegg]

Laura Palmer is the better Bastille song.

 

[Race to be King]

Laura Palmer is the better Bastille song.

*brofist*

I knew there was a reason I voted for you.

 

[Smiley90]

Laura Palmer is the better Bastille song.

You. I like you. I was actually gonna post that too, then figured people on GAF didn't like the band anyway so there really wasn't a point. Bad Blood has so many great tracks, Pompeii is overplayed.

 

[Ikon]

I'm not particularly fond of it, but it's not Bound 2 by Kanye. So, no, it's not the worst.

 

[Messofanego]

I'm guessing this is a song? I think I've seen that name before in a music shop. Is this another thread about complaining what garbage is on the radio or that this is overplayed?

I'm not curious enough to youtube this, though.

Why not? It would have been quicker than writing a post to inform us you don't know what we're talking about.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

I find it quite catchy.

Syphillis is also quite catchy.

 

[Dennis]

It is pretty damn bad.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

It is pretty damn bad.

It's mainly the Pet Shop Boys style "ayo-ayo, ayo-ayo" backing vocals that make me cringe the hardest.

Cheese on toast.

 

[i_am_ben]

well I think the song is pretty good.

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

Their new single, 'Of the Night/Rhythm is a Dancer' is just terrible... You can imagine they saw the success Florence had with 'You got the Love' and said 'Ooooh, we can so something like that tooooooo!'

Oh god, is that them too?

Jesus, they really are terrible.

The video has dead people singing as a detective wanders around a crime scene. It makes no sense whatsoever.

Listening to a Bombcast right now though. That takes priority.

 

[kudoboi]

everyone have different tastes in music. don't most people on this forum hate mainstream music anyway?

 

[Race to be King]

Listening to a Bombcast right now though. That takes priority.

Hm, fair enough, but give it a listen when your ears are free!

Sorry for being a grump.

Yeah but.... It makes you think so it must be clever.™

 

[Nyx]

Nope, that's Lorde - Royals.

Oh, and ANY Avicii track.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Nope, that's Lorde - Royals.

I love that track, best no.1 in ages.

 

[Alpende]

Never heard of it, just gave it a quick listen and I hope it doesn't make it on the radio here.

 

[vikki]

I enjoy the Monsieur Adi remix a lot. I don't listen to radio so I don't have to hear the song however often they play it, but I think the original is okay anyway. I really like Oblivion off the album and I think Icarus is pretty good.

 

[Kurita]

Good song.

 

[Arjen]

Never heard of it, just gave it a quick listen and I hope it doesn't make it on the radio here.

Wut, it's been on the radio here for months.

 

[Discotheque]

damn i just checked out their cover of rhythm of the night. surprised it's hated so much in this thread, i like it. has nothing on the original though.

 

[soepje]

Wut, it's been on the radio here for months.

Indeed. I don´t listen to the radio that often, but i hear it all the time. I don´t mind though, nice song.

 

[glaringradio]

It's nowhere near as bad as that fucking terrible cover of Nightcall by London Grammar

 

[BowieZ]

damn i just checked out their cover of rhythm of the night. surprised it's hated so much in this thread, i like it. has nothing on the original though.

That song (both versions) makes me want to punch kittens.

I do like Things We Lost in the Fire, though -- I think that's Bastille?

 

[daviyoung]

It might be Stockholm Syndrome, but I like their cover of Corona.

The remixes that come from it are pretty special

 

[i_am_ben]

Nope, that's Lorde - Royals.

Oh, and ANY Avicii track.

Avicii's I could be the one is automatically good because of its film clip

 

[zoukka]

No the worst song of modern times is never ever by avril lavigne.

 

[Skellig Gra]

I think I got this free off itunes awhile back. Haven't listened to it.

 

[ShoGunGod]

The Coheed cover of the song is pretty good, I've actually never heard the original.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjPyR1FUads

This is 1000 times better then the original!

 

[BowieZ]

Nope, that's Lorde - Royals.

there is no way in hell that you can put this song as the worst when you have that Royals song, that song can burn in hell.

Still, it's shockingly impressive and catchy for a 16 year old New Zealand girl.

 

[jediyoshi]

It's like a European Third Eye Blind mixed with Lion King. What the hell? I cringe every time it comes on.

On the other hand, it's great.

 

[gutshot]

I'm so glad this thread was made because now I know this exists.

Kat Krazy remix is pretty alright. Better than the original version, so check that out. Warning: its a bit... crazy.

I second this.

 

[Marleyman]

I quite liked it. Prefer their Rhythm of the Night cover.

Whoa; Rhythm of the Night cover is so good; thanks for this.

 

[crooked spin]

Just spotify'd this... kinda overproduced (most stuff on the radio is) but I wouldn't change the channel if this came on in the car. I really enjoy BGVs like this.

 

[anarckitty]

I realize this song has been out for quite awhile, but I finally listened to it the other day. I had the hardest time getting past the chanting in the beginning, but after I listened to the full song it's officially stuck in my head.

I've since listened to several of their other songs and watched their videos. I'm really enjoying them so far. I understand why they wouldn't be a lot of people's cup of tea, but I love the whole David Lynch obsession the singer seems to have. Also, their videos, especially Flaws and Pompeii remind me of my childhood: arcades and carnivals.

I know a lot of people don't like Of The Night, and honestly the first time I heard it I didn't exactly like it either, but I really enjoyed the video even though it's pretty bleak.

The Abbey Road version of Flaws is still my favorite though. http://youtu.be/gzRBoZb3GKw

 

[Ollie Pooch]

The video has dead people singing as a detective wanders around a crime scene. It makes no sense whatsoever.

Plus the dead people singing in a crime scene was already done in a relevant way, and better, in a HTDA video a while back.

 

[equippedwithtowel]

I 'd say that Arcade Fire is slightly more mainstream than the Decemberists, but slightly less so than The Black Keys or NMH.

Wat.

This might just be a Canada thing but AF is huge. No fucking way they have less mainstream presence then Neutral Milk Hotel, who haven't released anything noteworthy in 15 yeas.

 

[DMczaf]

This shit sounds like Tarzan Boy from TMNT3 during the hook.

http://youtu.be/_r0n9Dv6XnY

 

[BrokenEchelon]

I'll take songs like this playing non-stop on mainstream radio over garbage Gangsta' Rap any day.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I like it.
