I think what Penguin is saying is that its pathetic that everyone is sucking thia bands dick just cause its based on books read in 9th and 10th grade. Write a song based on Inferno. That id like to see. Lets do some Kafka. Something thats a bit higher up on the intellectual food chain. The music is good imho, but the concepts are almost juvenile.
@VisualMaelStrom Speaking of music written for Inferno, have you checked out Tangerine Dream's music? They have a three part series written for the implied books
@helle0201 Oh they are? Well, I guess that's another band to add to my "Must See" List for Warped Tour this year. :) And now that you mention it....the singer does remind me of that guy from Good Charlotte.
People who hate on this song just have no sense of good music. They believe that they genre they listen to is superior to all others. Well, to those people, I have a big "eff you" to say. :) This song is great, the lyrics are witty and well played. Who cares if they're about a book? You don't need to read the book. Just listen to the song and chill. Keep up the good work Gatsby's. ;)
@cloudsblade92 It is based on "Lord of the Flies" one of the best books ever written imo. In other words, GBA gets 100 cool points by making a literary themed song that doesn't suck
@cloudsblade92 .... i hope your not that retarded... it is lord of the flies hence why the band is gatsbys american dream which is based off another book, thats what the band is all about
@giantsmla Ahh, the norm of ignorance. I'm sorry that I don't study up on bands when I find-by mere chance-one song I like by them. I may have to change that now, as not to warrant being called retarded again :]
@cloudsblade92 study up on bands? thats like a band being called carrots and making a song about celery then someone saying hey this reminds me of veggies. CAPTAIN OBVIOUS TO THE RESCUEEEE
@giantsmla I'm sorry, but I didn't get your joke. If I liked more than one of their songs, I may have brushed up on them. However, that is not the case, so I'll enjoy this song and be content :]
Wow. This song is amazing :)
