Ouch. Make it stop. Too long. Too . . . just too. . . iterative.

No kidding. There's a few un-listenable Dengue Fever songs (to these white-bread ears) but this is just really good. I get the feeling that at RP there are many listeners who automatically rate low anything that isn't born in the USA or Europe. But I guess we all have our prejudices.

Had this CD in my car yesterday — it provided a nice distraction while I was stuck in traffic for 40 minutes....! I was able to zone out and go to a happy place until cars started moving again. Though I found myself skipping through most of the disc, only really like this song and the other few that are played here on RP.

Bill just said introducing this song that the listener's comments of this song is "a bit mixed". At 4.6, a bit mixed? Usually listeners rate songs pretty high, therefore when a song is at 6, I consider that "a bit mixed". At 4.6 on 7/15/11, I consider that not well liked.


Perhaps your "considerations" and semantic interpretations are affected by your aesthetics. I think what Bill meant by "mixed" did not necessarily mean "favorable" or "Pretty Good" (which is what a "6" rating indicates). I think he was referring to the graphic of the voting on this tune. Seen below:
ratings
The distribution above looks like what could be called "mixed", since it is not all concentrated to one side or another.
The graphic below (for Madonna's "Justify My Love") is one that seems a better candidate for being considered "not-well-liked"
Justify My Love

Then again, it is largely a matter of opinion and semantics.

Uff da. Dengue Fever isn't so much hit-and-miss as it is hit-miss-miss-miss-miss-miss-miss-miss-miss for me.

OH, I hear it! Just don't like it. Sorry.

Please . . . make it stop! I finally had to reach over and turn off RP.

I give it a 2 because you can't totally kill a good sounding band with one whiney voice. It would take 2 or 3 to do that or course.

Don't suppose there's a karaoke version of this? I think I might quite like it without vocals, and I could always punch a kitten if I find I miss the singing...

This tune is definitely an improvement over the other track Bill plays all the time "Seeing Hands". However an improvement from Sucko Barfo doesn't say much. I just dont understand the appeal this band has to anyone... its too strange.


Actually I feel the opposite, to me Seeing Hands is a masterpiece and far better than anything else they have released. I actually have most of their music so I am guessing.

LOL. Monty likes your idea:

Really, it's the singing more than anything else that grates on me. It's not an awful band, just one that you should only have to listen to 1-2 times a week—tops.
