I was one of those people. But when I don't like a song, I find it easier to come to like because people will argue why they think it's good, and new light is shed on it for me. Still trying to come to terms with the overly drawn-out Mark the Graves.
Well, MTG has a nice atmosphere if that makes sense. And the bass sounds great to me, I can't even hear the bass on some lp songs. And, lyrically, it may be vague, but its way more decent than AFN and a lot of other LP songs. And for some reason, I feel like the band knew what they were doing with that song. All of what I said is highly subjective.
I like the guitar parts, I just wish they had more variation in the intro if they were going to make it that long. My main complaint is the power chord part right before the tremolo picking. This is the AFN thread though, shouldn't we move this discussion to the appropriate thread?
I saw a thread at the other site discussing about Active Protection System,but somehow,it went to the point where people were discussing about what would've happened if UK's armed forces was as organized as USMC. So I think this discussion isn't so bad.Yet.
You know, since LP is "democratic" and make their decisions together and Paige Hamilton was also working on the track, it hard for me to wrap around the idea that none of them would have thought some of AFN was stupid. I mean, just think of Mike or Brad talking about the "you say" part. "Chester's vocals totally compliment the track and make it more interesting and definitely are not redundant at all". Or maybe, they actually didn't want it and Chester just "You Say!"ed them into shutting up.
You have something against Chester saying "You say" over and over? You must hate Robot Boy with a passion. It isn't supposed to be a Chester-heavy song. They featured Page for a reason. And once again, everyone ignores that Chester sings for all of the ending of the chorus. If we're going for vocal repetitiveness, look no further than Rebellion, which the end of the chorus consists of nothing but them repeating "Rebellionnnnnnnnnnnnn". But everyone seems to love that. So I'm not seeing why there's all this hate for AFN. It's probably because no one wants to nitpick at the Daron Malakian track.
Yeah, I don't like the "Your word obey" part either. It's just its a nice instrumental with obnoxious vocals for me.
I hate the chorus, sounds like Mike doing a bad Ozzy impression while bro-fisting Chester after every line
Too bad that's not Mike you're hearing, but Paige Hamilton of Helmet. Hence why it's "All for Nothing (featuring Paige Hamilton)".
What was the point of getting Paige Hamilton to sing when he sounds so similar to Mike? most pointless collab ever
Besides, AFN sounded like a Helmet song so LP did the collab with Paige. In a sense, AFN and Drawbar were LP just having fun with musicians they liked. AFN and Drawbar weren't even hyped up. Compared to say GATS and Rebellion. It might be pointless to you but that's why LP put it in. Similar to In Between I think. They had better produced tracks but they liked In Between a lot more personally. And what drp said, Paige played guitar on AFN too.
