That's a weird thing to write about though. If it rains I'll sink into the mud? Honestly, that's either utter crap or a metaphor.

Maybe you'll learn something about poetry and writing when you get into 5th grade english next year.

The metaphor is where he's talking about something, such as death(Once I'd need to see the song to know whether it's crap or a metaphor), and talking about sinking into the mud. Or going into the backyard(A secluded place), to get away from other people(The clocks, etc.).

"Goo Goo Gajoob"

Its about the concept of god, the origins of man and the purpose of life. Why are we here? Are we alone? And why should it matter?

Really deep stuff.

Neither of you are actually bringing up any valid points so let's get back on topic. What are you all's favorite songs on the album?

I eat poop

Repeat this with me

I-M-A-G-E-R-Y NOT M-E-T-A-P-H-O-R

Christ its closer to allegory then metaphor, as I said before wait until you've done more than fourth grade english please. All you really know is about periods and punctuations, stick to that. Its imagery, simple as that.

What kind of a premise is that? Wouldn't you consider that a metaphor upon frst glance? Isn't the song about cancer?

I eat poop

I get what you're saying but I'm saying it seems like he's trying to say something a little deeper than I went into the backyard to cool down.

With Wolf and Oberst, it seems like they just picked a random set of words that sound "deep", then came up with the meaning later, even though they are probably not even sure themselves.

Yes, but that part isn't about cancer its about getting away from it all in the garden with the cancer patient, nothing metaphorical about it.

It still sounds like a metaphor.

The words all make sense together, I don't see where you're drawing that from.

:banghead:

I've never used that smiley seriously before and never thought i'd have to.

So........... How about them Red Hot Chili Peppers?

They're Red Hot and Anthony is Sir Phsycho Sexy.

So if you saw that line at first glance, isolated from the rest of the song, you'd think he was being literal?

I eat poop

Sir Psycho Sexy <3

With the exception of Stadium Arcadium one of the best bands on the radio.

I thought you dispised the Peppers. :confused:

You change your opinions too damn much for me to keep up.

FOB, MCR, Maroon 5(Do you still like them?). Yah Sir Phsycho Sexy owns everything on Californication.

I'm so-so with them, its like with the White Stripes or Nirvana if they're on the radio i'll be glad they are because its something enjoyable but I doubt i'll ever get a CD or go out of my way to listen to them.

Maroon 5. Hmm...

I won't say they are unoriginal as far as crappy pop bands go. But yeah, their music is still the kind of radio gunk that makes my teeth rot.

My guilty pleasure.

out of all the **** i end up listening to during me and my aunts stale get together's driving to the ****ing cheesecake factory, i enjoy maroon 5 the most :)

they're catchy and fun, with decent enough lyrics that make me mildly happy :D

edit: getting back to red hot chili peppers >.>

QFT

I voted flawless. Though thats not entirely true. But I don't want to just vote "good", because I love the album more than enough to forgive certain flaws. Like Road Trippin', and the choppy lo-fi production which makes some of the bass and drum parts sound poorly mixed and recorded. Though its not very noticable unless you have really good speakers.

I can guess who voted bad. Anyway, I find it funny that the album sounds better on crappy speakers.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the lo-fi production was intentional. Its not like Rick Rubin can't afford quality recording and mixing equipment. ;)

I eat poop

Bungalow?

I eat poop

Oh nothing.

Chad Smith is an incredibly overrated drummer.

Not really.

I don't recall anyone ever saying "woah Chad Smith, he's the shit".

I recall alot of Chilli fanboys saying it, and it p*sses me off whenever they do.

EDIT: I mean c'mon, that dude before just compared him to Frusciante (sp?)

So? Every band has their fanboy.

I can shove Yes down everybodys throats until the cows come home. But I'd be damned if that makes them overrated.

or makes them good...
