Re: Rate Gaucho

Im liking the sound of these songs. Lillywhite seems to have got the balance right. Everyones sounding good, and its nice to hear Boyd again after BW. Dont think lyrics are as bad as everyones saying but the kids threw me a bit :/ Guessing thats gonna be the crowds part live...

    I am now LOVING Gaucho.

    I'd like to change my vote to a 9!

    The songs reminds me a lot of Peter Gabriel and the children singing makes me think of Another Brick In the Wall Part 2.

    I had it at a 7. Id like to move it to an 8 or 9 after giving it a good few listens today. Lyrics dont suck as much as initially thought by any means. Just good generic go out there and do something, not really a foreign concept for the band/Dave. And musically awesome.

    The "wake up" section feels like it's flown in from a completely different song.

    I like the fact that Gaucho as a whole actually sounds like something that is a little outside of their comfort zone. I like what that might mean for the whole record.

    Mercy, however, feels completely inside the comfort zone. Even the full-band version.

    I still think Lillywhite's original mix on Gaucho was way better than the album mix. I hope we can hear the original mixes on the other AFTW tracks someday.

    I was always surprised that Guacho didn't get more fan love and more play. I love the opening riff, Carter's drumming, and even though the lyrics are a bit cheesy I love the melody of the Chorus "Gotta do much more than believe...go on try it...go on try it"

    What's different about this mix? I'll admit that I haven't listened to the album version in a while, but I can't pinpoint anything really different here.

    btw... this is a good song.

    Obvious bias, but I love the Mansfield version from 6.5.2012.

    The two most obvious things in my opinion are that the children are louder and the bass is panned hard right at the very end. There are other subtle level differences that I think make it a bit livelier.

    I like what they did to the bridge section with the muted Trumpet from Rashawn and Dave changing the vocal melody a bit over Carter’s drum hits. Think it was the 2013 versions.

    1.

    Bottom 5 in the catalog.


    2 live, I guess, because it doesn't have the stupid awful kids singing.




    Dreamgirl, which is the metric for a 1 apparently, is miles better.

    I see I rated it a 7 when this poll first came out. Probably more like a 5 for me now, not a bad song but not great (much like that album as a whole).

    This 100%, although I wouldn't want it at a show. It starts out alright and I do like the verses but it just goes off a cliff. The chorus and kids are awful.
    I didn't vote because there are no integer options. I never understood the hate for dreamgirl. It has a darker vibe, decent riff, and Roi is phenomenal. If it were on say crash it would be viewed much differently.

    Yeah, as above, exact same here, on all accounts

    The first time I heard it, I thought it was a great snapshot of the then-current sound of DMB, everybody's contributions were highlighted in some way. A pity though that it never took root live. In the live set, it was just too much of an analogue for Warehouse meets Funny The Way It Is.

    It's an 8. Not the Stone, but miles ahead of the majority of Stand Up.

    Waste of a great guitar riff and an overall musically interesting song by combining that with the most trite chorus I've ever heard and a boring melody....


    So a 4?

    I love Gaucho. I like everything about it. if we had the power and could change things, the kids singing on AFTW aren't completely necessary, but it fits the song. love it live. the version from LT Blossom is great. Carter really shines.

    If gaucho is an 8 what would you rank under it or even ahead of it? I'm genuinely curious. Is there something I'm missing with this song?

    Re: Rate Gaucho

    An 8 on a scale of 1 being terrible, 5 being indifferent, 10 being can't get enough. I don't have the energy or attention span anymore to go through and rank all of the tune separately. Some jump out at me as being better than another, but not all. All based purely on the studio cuts, live is a different story.

    Spotlight is a 1. There I said it. Dave may not be able to call a song a turd as accurately as he used to, but there's a reason this song went away.

    Most of Stand Up and about half of Everyday would be below the 5 mark. About half of the do-overs on Busted Stuff, too.

    Crash and UTTAD range from 5-10 by song. Some I'm just tired of and will come back around eventually (Two Step).

    Other 8's would be most of R2T and selections from BWGK and AFTW.

    10 would be BTCS.
