Songs To Hear Before You Die (Part 2)

10 more songs that are not the best songs ever. They are probably not going to become your favorite songs that you’ve ever heard, but they are all worth hearing at some point in your life. You will probably enjoy them.

This first song is honestly a rip off of Obladi Oblada by The Beatles. Though the tunes are identical the message of this song is something almost anyone can relate to.

If you don’t listen to the full song then I hate you.

Best song that I know with a saxaphone solo. Possibly the best Incubus song ever.

Great song… Enough said

I wish that the instrumental part of this song would follow me around. If it did then my life would be a gradual evolution to something incredible.

The best intro song of any album I’ve heard in a long long time. Possibly the best I’ve ever heard. The riff, the piano, and the deep gong. Everything fits perfectly.

Free song on itunes once upon a time. If you own a radio you’re probably sick of hearing it. I think that if you haven’t grown to love this song by now then you need to sort your life out.

Of any band that has broken up in the past few years Armor For Sleep’s breakup is by far the most devastating. They had incredible potential. This is off of their second album ‘What To Do When You’re Dead’.

Counting Crows is so incredible that they get two songs in this post alone. So listen up because you can. If you aren’t a fan already then you’re missing out.

I love this song. You might not, but I do.

A New Face

Hey! I haven’t said anything here, but Keaton has convinced me that my voice should be heard. Well, I should rephrase that. I have convinced myself that my voice needs to be heard, and Keaton’s site is a great way to do so. So I’ll start off my first review with a fairly old album by Incubus.

Pictured: Your Brain On Drugs

S.C.I.E.N.C.E. was released in 1997 by Incubus. In case you haven’t heard of Incubus, please take the nearest object you can find and staple it to your eyeballs. Believe me when I say that Incubus has one of the greatest sets of musicians to ever live. Their singer’s phenomenal, and incredibly versatile voice is a wonder by itself, and in a normal sentence I would compare it to the fantastic drumming, or the beyond belief guitar playing. However, Incubus’s S.C.I.E.N.C.E. features absolutely stunning performances from all of the instruments. Displaying a wide style of metal from the funky to the freaky, S.C.I.E.N.C.E. features songs with more experimental, scientific, and science fiction based themes. “A Certain Shade of Green”, one of their hardest tracks, is about mankind simply waiting around for a huge sign to start caring about the world coming to an end. “Idiot Box” is about the influence of modern media on our minds. If there were one part of this album I would have to criticize, I would say that a few of the tracks are so fast paced (in other words, crazy) that you can’t even enjoy the full experience of the music. Most of the songs have heavy metal leanings, but my two favorite tracks, Deep Inside and Antigravity has much more funk/disco bases. Over all, it was one of the best albums I have ever heard, and I recommend anyone who can to go out and buy a copy.

High Point: Deep Inside

Low Point: Nebula

In summary:

Very Nice
