driving poppy rock shit makes me move

Through the Void Sugarstick

great opening .... drags you into the mood immediately. and so quick to the hook - great move. or is it the hook? either way, it feels like immediate gratification ...

interesting words. not sure what they mean exactly but they flow and ride the waves of the music sooooo well .... that's a thing that is so forgotten so much I think it's important that when lyrics work on a guttural level like this - it ought to be mentioned.

fabulous beat - drums and other rhythmic sounds really make the body part of the listen and what more can be asked? ... the hihat action is splendid and does so much more for the song than the average listener would know but I' not unaware. rolls are a bit too digital and perfectly timed but I'll forgive that for their intent.

bass pound is cool as hell .... and getting the little runs in on that quick beat is helping the drive of the tune as well as adding harmonic structure to grab onto.

love the various keyboard sounds and synth drones - as well as other stereoized FX ...and great background vocal placements. simple parts well rep'd make for great parts.

guitar is a big part of the equation and tho I'm not totally inlove with the tone, I do dig the parts. great use of in and out and the effect used to sustain them in the chorus works well.

so many cool vocal lines and lyric. lots of them thar sill a bills.

great vocals. they drag me into her world. tho I don't get where we're going I love the ride. great tone. pitch and attitude are plenty varied from smooth to talk talk and I love the little fills and the nicely carried out held notes. and the ending laugh ... perfect.

I really dig this tune across the board. sorta pop, sorta electronic and sorta rock. with some silly as shit sounds that fill up the ear tickler reservoir.

this could be big if the band ain't lame looking and the chick is hot. I just hope her ass ain't skinny and she doesn't wear those ridiculous false eyelashes. oh and if she's blonde, she should shave her head.
