Blissfully screamed this song out as loud as I could last year when they played in philly. Thank god it was so loud no one could hear. Just a beautiful simple perfect rock song.

@tapastro You clearly missed my point, which is that plenty of people have found something in this song to love, and these are people who know plenty of good music to compare it to. I was using this point as evidence that this song is effective, I wasn't saying "people with better taste than you like this so it must be good". As far as I've seen, the only way we have yet found to properly criticize modern music is stating its effects.

@Oggranak Ah yes, "good taste." Surely experienced people have this good taste that you speak of, but not me. You have no idea what music I listen to, other than -not this-. That you think you are able to know my musical taste, and judge it afterwards, shows how experienced and mature you are. I can have an opinion that does not belie my general opinion of genres of music.

@tapastro So what I'm essentially saying is that there are a billion hard-to-pinpoint factors that affect how a song impacts a listener, and when a song is analyzed such: "The guitar is boring and repetitive, the drums are uninspired. The vocals are good though," it very much resembles the mindset of a young person who thinks they know everything, or more accurately, thinks they can figure out anything with ease. I know I felt that way when I was younger, but I grew out of it.

@tapastro 'My opinion' is that music's appeal is too complex to be broken down that way. I'm not going to do the same thing with different criteria because that would be missing the point, don't you think? All I can tell you is that from experience I can say that a song like this has some kind of nuance that maybe doesn't have obvious appeal until you're a bit older/more experienced with music. I can't pinpoint what it is, but plenty of people with otherwise good taste have found the same thing.
Mario, If you were looking for CREED, your in the wrong place.
