Re: GnREvolution Chinese Democracy Elimination 2015 - Round 2
Was thinking Shackler's, but it does have some interesting parts. Prostitute I never listen to, so I'll go with that. That song was talked up for so many years it took me a while to realize it ain't that great.
Re: GnREvolution Chinese Democracy Elimination 2015 - Round 2
I had to vote for Scraped again. Cant stand it. In a strange turn of events after listening to CD for a few days, I no longer have an intense hatred of Prostitute. I'm actually warming up to it. First verse still a bowl of cheese but this song is starting to 'speak' to me the way Madagascar did years after I first heard it. The "fire and ice" description of the track is fitting. Interesting how some of your feelings about these songs are different after a fresh listen. I now see why so many say its the perfect closer for the album. I always thought TWAT's killer outro deserved that spot but Prostitute's ending does make more sense. Starts to almost lull you to sleep and then silence.

You may be right that it's fitting for a closer. My problem is it never really goes anywhere. I was expecting some NR, Estranged type epic after what we heard about it. It's nice and well structured, but just when it starts to get good it ends.

I shit on the track the nanosecond it leaked and I pushed play and kept shitting on it. Originally thought it was an abomination and couldn't believe that had been hyped since 1998. I went years without listening to it. For some reason it doesn't make me cringe anymore. There's some killer guitar work in this song.

Oh My God - Never done anything for me, don't think it ever will.
I think much like CD itself Prostitute suffered from the previous hype and build up it received over the years. A lot of people had it built up as the best song the universe had ever heard, it was the definitive 'big gun' on album that was going to blow minds and change music. When it first leaked people were refusing to believe the song was Prostitute such was the dissappointment. I think without the way over inflated pre-conceptions this song would been received very differently.
That said I still can't help feeling it sounds a bit like Robbie Williams in places

I should give it a spin. Haven't listened to it in years.
