Sorry if i am mistaken but for the 2/3 years i have been listening to this song i'm almost certain it says "pass the ball learn to swim" in the backing vocals for the first chant.
Why are people so quick to put labels on music and pigeon hole bands? Listen to the music you like and don't waste time criticizing the music you don't, simple!
Went to there concert in April 10 show at the commodore ballroom and the finished with this song! It was one of the Best Concert Ive Ever Been To Yannis Is a Crazy Stage Diving Man! Its a good thing i was right up front!!
@potatodonki :D Donki is mad. Thanks for wasting my time and yours arguing over YouTube. Makes complete sense. Could have just let my "unintelligent" comment go, but no. Let's make a scene! Pfft. Get over yourself and learn that not everyone will appreciate every band on this earth. Damn. G'day.
@lianaxsickk I'm not mad. Why would I be mad? You haven't insulted me. I'm simply saying that you should find a better way to expressing your dislike for something, other than "This sucks", because it doesn't even make sense. I'm also not saying that you should appreciate everything you hear, just find a better way of expressing it. Gah, I relish GOOD debate, so let's just end this here. You can continue with your life, smiling randomly like a fool, and I'll have one less dumb bitch in my life.
@potatodonki :O someone's butthurt. Everyone's music taste is different. You have the right to say you don't like my music and I have the right to say that I don't like yours. Now take the dildo out of your butt before you get more worked up over my "unintelligent" comment :D
@lianaxsickk I'm not saying you have no right to dislike something. But to say it sucks, is unacceptable. Its art, and you haven't a clue what they were trying to accomplish, so you have absolutely no right to say whether it sucks or not. Did you honestly just say "butthurt" and make an anal joke in the same post? Pssh. Stop trying to act all cool with your little grin at the end of your incredibly stupid and vulgar comment. You just continue to make yourself look like...well, a nimrod.
@x0xDarthWyylokx0x take it from me, i've done music A/S, and Music tech B-tech Level 3, any form of music, where there is a build up and then the tembre "Drops" is known as a "drop" kinda makes sense dont you think
@x0xDarthWyylokx0x Skrillex is not dubstep, he is either, grime, or complextro, a sub genre of electro house, and no, it is still a drop, a breakdown is when the whole tembre breaksdown, there is a massive difference to a drop and a breakdown, i can assure you you are wrong, but if you want to keep arguing thats fine with me, i'll keep prooving you wrong :)
@matthewapplemac you're going quite far with this, and actually, some of skrillex's work IS dubstep (as much as it is shite dubstep), his electro/house work like kill everybody is good
@matthewapplemac Skrillex is dubstep, grime is p money dickface. it's not a drop, I don't care. plus why dont you have your full A level in music? b-techs mean fuck all... timbre*
@x0xDarthWyylokx0x B-tech level 3 = the equivalent of 4 Alevels, plus i get a hell of a lot more experience than i did at sixth form, and no mate, skrillex is not dubstep, dubstep is mellow and driving, easy to listen to, sometimes a bit heavy, skrillex is closer to electro house than dubstep, he's taken ideas from dubstep yes, but his layout of music follows a more stereotypical electro house styling. it is a drop mate haha, but ah whey, some people are just stubborn i s'pose
foals new shit sucks dick harddddddd. just like every band that goes mainstream.. foals had an amazing completly unique style that was extremly "in fashion" and they sold out... bring this shit backkkkkk new foals suck nicee amounts of balls
@jordannorchi1 meh, i dont think they sold out. i think their new stuff is unique i cant really think of a bands sounds thats similar to total life forever. granted its not as good as their old stuff :)
people who can't tell enough ebout foals! it is true that they are good but there is a band that i think they were influenced by. have you listened to redneck manifesto ?
actually you can get an euphoric high from listening to really anything thought arouses brainwave patterns...especially if the music makes u feel like dancing, (p.s. sorry if I seem snobby,like a know it all, or a grammatical arse-hole)
The album is porous, says Yannis. We allowed ourselves to have a dialogue with the influences and people around us. You can pretty much hear us smoking weed on it and people walking in and out of the studio. Its a document of the time and its the truest record we could have made.
