I often skip Get right, 1/2 Full, Arc. Really like other songs, an definitely looooovvvveSave You and I am mine.
(And I don't think Sweet Lew is new legendary song. this one is a crap.)Post edited by halszka123 onNot 10c member? Have sth to say? write to me - I'll put it on the forum

I've heard it. Never liked anything they've done. Just my opinion though, that's the beauty of music, everyone hears the same thing differently.East Lansing 98, Detroit 98, Tampa 00, Detroit 00, Buffalo 03, State College 03, Detroit I 03, Detroit II 03, Toronto 03, Toledo 04, Grand Rapids, 04, Kitchener 05, London 05, Grand Rapids 06, Cleveland 06, Detroit 06, Cincinnati 06, Lollapalooza 07, West Palm Beach 08, Tampa 08, To be continued...0 -

Once you get passed the makeup, and theatrics of KIss. At least in my opinion.
Kiss Alive I is better than ANYTHING any of those hair bands(Bands I couldnt fucking stand) released in the 70's and 80's.
Kiss and Iron Maiden are the only heavy metal, hair bands, that I actually listened to. The rest of it was garbage.Take me piece by piece.....

Can't Keep - great.
Save You - good.
Love Boat Captain - good.
Cropduster - mediocre.
Ghost - mediocre.
I Am Mine - great.
Thumbing My Way - good.
You Are - good.
Get Right - bad.
Green Disease - mediocre.
Help Help - bad.
Bu$hleaguer - bad.
1/2 Full - mediocre
Arc - good (not really as much of a "song" as the others, and it's quite moving)
All or None - great.0 -
Music is subjective people!
Anyway, I like Riot Act. It is their "art" album. I think that, lyrically, it is a very cohesive album. There is a wisdom to the lyrics, a lot had gone on before the album, and I think it showed a band growing up and dealing with issues at hand...love, greed, haves and have nots, and nature.
Love Boat Captain and I Am Mine will always be two of my top songs. Can't Keep, Cropduster, and Green Disease are also great tunes.
The album comes alive live, for sure.0 -
Wrong.
Riot Act is incredible.
If I could pick only 1 record and was only given the first 3 tracks to listen to for the rest of my life it would be Riot Act.
1. Can't Keep- the drums with eddie's voice is moving
2. Save You- anger, rage, but all for a good cause
3. LBC- intense lyrics, from their hearts.
Sorry but you are wrong, Riot Act rocks!0 -

Anyone who would call Iron Maiden a "hair band" is an IDIOT, even calling KISS a hair band is borderline at best. As far as the OP, you don't like Riot Act, do you think anyone really gives a shit if you do or not, I think the album is just fine, there are a couple of songs I don't care for, but that is normal. I think I'm going to start a thread about how I don't like raw onions, it will be about as useful as this![img][/img]9/5/92, 11/20/93, 3/14,15/94, 9/16/95, 10/14,15/2000

That is the beauty of music, we all hear different things. I actually like riot act. I love help help but can't stand save you. It doesn't make sense really. Avocado in my opinion is their worst, & by worst I mean least listened to as I like all the records.0

Why was the thread title changed? That's kind of ridiculous. It's obvious this thread isn't really that serious.0
