You're right, idiot. I'm "butthurt" because certain opinions of mine are different than others around here. I'm shattered over it. Idiot.

I think I've said this before, but I'll just throw it out there again... I won't apologize, nor am I "butthurt" that I'm a MUCH bigger fan of this Band than you are. Nor does it bother me that I'm a "ballwasher", or whatever idiotic term you want to give it. I LOVE the fact that I LOVE most things this Band does. Why wouldn't I love that? All that means is that I enjoy them... WAY more than you. So cool, I'll be a "ballwasher". I'd rather be that than a trolling idiot. Like you. Idiot. Troll.



By the way... you're a complete idiot. Idiot.

    236 people = majority!!! 133 to 103 determines the entire site's opinions!!!

    Not to mention the fact "the majority" of people in society like a lot of shitty things. "Majority likes it" is the worst reason or excuse of all-time. Not shocking bluewater21 bases his opinions on that, though.

    hahah holy shit dude your a fucking joke

    This was my initial impression too. Not sure about the name change.

    i really dislike this song for dave's cheesy, unoriginal lyrics. the whole jack and jill thing and also the belly jelly... ugh. I really enjoy it musically, especially boyd's solo, but it's still too cornbread/smlam for this album.

    Belly Jelly is cheesy/unoriginal? I've gotta be honest, this song is easily the first time I've ever even heard the terminology. I think you misunderstand what cheesy means...

    "I would do most anything girl to be the apple of your eye."

    That's cheesy, it uses a cliche, and tries to portray an emotion through the overused term.

    Not to mention, that's two lines in the entire song...why does everyone make the same exact argument in regards to this song, I want to see someone use any other line/group of lines other than those two to try and make an argument for why this song's lyrics are unoriginal or cheesy.

    It is literally almost the same line. I am not going to say that Belly Belly Nice has extrodinary lyrics, because it doesn't - but it has lyrics for what the song's message intends. Everyone gets so caught up in two to three lines that they complete erase themselves from other good lines, and other brilliant parts of music.

    I know people are caught up on the "Jack and Jill" and "Belly Jelly"

    But in the same vein;

    "When the juice is drippin' off your chin, one peach is not enough"

    and

    "All the light that shines up, the gift that everyone has for the taking. And happiness, so pure as this, is surely worth the making"

    Are pretty good lines when dealing with the song's subject.

    Away from the lyrics, I think this song hits the EXACT way Too Much and What Would You Say had. This song is so much more Too Much and WWYS than it is SMLAM.

    There are syncopated jams, but not syncopated to the point where you'd expect a Conductor to jump on stage (kind of like SMLAM) - the range each member has in this song is brilliant. Everyone shines, EVERYONE. The song was meant to and should have been meant to revolve around the guitar riff. It's addicting and creative. I love how Lillywhite kept it just the Riff, beat and Vocals at first, as the song progresses you hear everyone come in at the time they want to come in at.

    At one point you have both horns squaring off against each other in the left channel, Boyd blasting in the right channel - Carter double bass in both channels - and that riff still hits you in the face.

    Because of some "off" lyrics - this song gets a bad rap that it doesn't deserve.
    ...As usual.

    Has anyone heard the tapes of BBN from this past weekend? It sounds like the sound guys intentionally turned down/almost muted Boyd's solo! His solo is a big reason why I like this song too...

    I didn't misunderstand anything. I meant that it's cheesy b/c this song is so juvenile for dave. I don't get why he makes these cornbread-esque songs. this song is easily the weakest song on the album b/c of a poorly written chorus, imo. I just have higher standards for Dave based on how good the rest of the album is (The Riff and Broken Things in particular).

    It'll be interesting to see what everyone is saying a year from now. I remember when BW came out most people were praising it much like they are with this album. Most people were diggin SMLAM as well. It's funny to see how time has changed people's views

    shake me is perfect on the record....they still havn't played it correctly live in 3 years...thats why we dont like it. BBN was great live before we even heard it on the record...and guess what, they nailed the studio take too.

    BBN is 10x what Shake me is

    I dig this song. It's going to be fun live, definitely gives me the SMLAM vibe - and I imagine it's only going to get better as time goes by. I see many people dancing to this one.

    Considering you like putrid songs such as Sweet and awful lyrics like in BBN, it's safe to say you're the drizzling shits.
