Rooms

[Monochrome Rainbow]

I wish he hadn't have shortened the head light/morning glow part. It is good though.

[X-Rated Truffle Pig]

I can't believe you guys. HTB Rooms really grows on you. North American for life is the worst, hands down.

yeah you are right. that is the worst.

 

but i have grown to like HTB. it really blew goats the first time i heard it. i was just expecting more from it.

[Shiri]

True. It's the best part of this wonderful song.

 

Same goes for a few more parts of songs he left out on Rooms.

I actually prefer NAFL on Rooms than the versino on WLRRR although I still like that version

i agree with urkel

if I had to choose one, i'd choose the one I heard live. that song rocked the joint

[squall17]

as for HTB, i never really got into the rooms version, but in light iof this thread im gonna give it a solid few listens now and see if things change

[ToadMan]

I most of the work on rooms, but that's just because I find that acoustic is a much more powerful medium for the music. It's just so direct, it's not protected by anything. I've always found the live songs done acoustic to be the best part of an MG concert.

dear jamie,

 

credibility called. i'm no longer allowed to hang out with you anymore. ;)

 

i'll listen to it again, but i'm pretty sure it was worse than the original (how is that possible, i don't know?)

haha perfectly put.

 

ill run into your fist.. carrying a cement block in front of me.. hello time bomb rooms was his worst idea.. even worse than the time.. well no.. blue skies over badlands was the worst..

north american for life is easily his worst, how could he possibly pass that off as album material?

 

annabelle and dusk might have saved that album.

[manfromharoldwood]

funny, those are my favorite songs off the album as well... and they're not even on it.

[josiegross]

i really really like nafl on rooms. i think it feels haunting and a little scary even.

[rebellious_L]

I found it ironic that on the MMM Bio interview matt did he said that HTB would be very boring played acoustically. I guess he changed his mind somewhere. NAFL was the first matt good song i dont like since Every name is my name, which remains the worst song he has ever written, post demo

[anitanium]

i think his wife told him to play it acoustically, so he did

[josiegross]

i'd probably do ANYthing she told me to, she's purty.

[Seanathon]

I believe that was in reference to him playing Oh Be Joyful acoustically on the uninvited guest radio show, for what it's worth.

I'm not sure if you are being critical here or not so don't take this personally (just using the scenario as an example, it's probably actually more than likely that you weren't criticizing MG) but I hate when people (especially the media) criticize an artist or politician or whatever about saying or doing something that contradicts something they said 3 or 4 or 8 years ago.

 

If I were in that position I don't know if I could handle it. Seriously. If that happened to me I'd tell a reporter to get with it or stick it up his ass.

 

Fuck, if I were John Kerry I would have shot myself in the face.

[rebellious_L]

not being critical, just bored with nothing better to say

[stephen]

HTB is completely different and brings a new dept to the song, it's brilliant

[mikeymackinon]

I dont really like HTB rooms or original, in fact i dont like a lot of Matts radio tacks or hard tracks as they call it in the biz.

Prosis: "I actually prefer NAFL on Rooms than the versino on WLRRR although I still like that version."

I couldnt of said it any better myself.

[cleric9999]

Hello Time Bomb is the worst track on Rooms and it sucks.

 

I'm not sure why MG felt just because he was doing acoustic, he needed to make every song a slow song. You can still rock with acoustic guitars.

acoustic guitars are also easier to smash on the ground. muahaha. i kinda liked the track. north american for life is a little different though. i just didn't feel it on that track.

[Doormat]

The best song out of rooms was tripoli...But then again, at that point i've never heard the real one. Come to think about it...The normal tripoli is now the first song on my mp3 player... and the acoustic one 36th...

[ham_ahoy]

I have to say generation x-wing...something about this tune...

[jmwilson529]

the original, great.. this version... eh, not so much.. i don't know... just really can't get into it.. maybe after a few hundred listens i'll change my mind, but it just drags too much... all the other songs, beautiful...

[Prometheon]

NAFL Sounds almost...apocalyptic. And the transition into Advertising is seamless. HTB is just boring to me.

[Steveo91]

I agree it was an odd choice for an acoustic song, but experimentation like that makes the same song have two completely different sounds/feels to it, like the rooms version of North American for Life
