LET'S RAGE!!! *bops politely to Complicated*

 

[GNL]

Can't wait to rock oot, throw shit around, go nuts, lose myself on stage, scream, holler, break things and get my anger oot to this seminal rock classic.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I mean it's great and everything but Under MY Skin and Best DAMN Thing are even Betttaah.

 

[Tisch]

I MAY NOT make it as I'll be crashing the mall I'm in a bit of "doing lots of jobs around the house" mood at the moment. But definitely definitely will retroactively listen and comment.

Love this album of course.

 

[COB]

@Tisch pop it on the Alexia!

 

[Tisch]

@Tisch pop it on the Alexia!

If I can I will! I may just be popping in and out with comments.

 

[ManicKangaroo]

No thanks @Jark Not my cup of tea at all

 

[COB]

I think I'll join! I only know the singles from this album, I was never a big Anvil (as I'm hoping her fans are called).

 

[GNL]

We're BLACK STARS.

 

[Pingu]

I have plans tonight so can’t join this unfortunately but I used to love this album. The very first one on my very first iPod.

 

[Jark]

We're BLACK STARS.

I prefer the grammatically muddled and less catchy BOIS SUX TRUTHERS!

 

[RJN]

How could it not be Sk8er Bois

 

[POP!]

I may not make it but I will join later this evening.

 

[Jark]

30 minute warning!

 

[RJN]

Does anyone (@Jark @Gangsta Nancy Lam @Pipo @jivafox @COB or anyone else) object to 8:10?

 

[COB]

Would 8:05 work? Otherwise the Apprentice queens will have quite a tight timescale

 

[RJN]

Would 8:05 work? Otherwise the Apprentice queens will have quite a tight timescale

Yes, or I’ll just join a few minutes late!

 

[Jark]

5 past is good for me!

 

[RJN]

great, that gives me enough time to ride my skateboard to the mall

 

[COB]

Are we ready?

 

[Jark]

press play!



01. Losing Grip

 

[COB]

I've started!

 

[RJN]

nobody panic, I've made it and pressed play

 

[COB]

OMG obsessed already

 

[GNL]

"Grinning with the washed hair" - real greebos don't wash, Avril

 

[Jark]

Losing Grip was the 4th and final single. it's quite a lot heavier and darker than the others.

 

[COB]

The verses are giving me Alanis, a bit.

 

[RJN]

I'm glad it starts with some real angst

 

[Jark]

I think her voice has a lot more power than people have typically given her credit for. she's a vocaliste when she wants to be!

that said Losing Grip has its moments but is not that special to me.

08 Losing Grip

 

[COB]

Losing Grip was the 4th and final single. it's quite a lot heavier and darker than the others.

This is exactly what I'm wanting from this album

 

[COB]

Anyone up for an Evanescence - Fallen sync at some point btw?

 

[RJN]

I can't remember if I knew this at the time or not... I'm thinking not. Agreed that its good but not that special

 

[RJN]

Anyone up for an Evanescence - Fallen sync at some point btw?

I've never heard it but yes

 

[Jark]

This is exactly what I'm wanting from this album

oh but then the second album will be more up your strasse! I suppose we'll have to schedule a sync for that one too

 

[GNL]

Uh huh, life is like this.

 

[RJN]

I heard Complicated in a spin class this week

 

[COB]

I know THIS hardcore punk anthem of course

 

[Jark]

there's something very SOOTHING about Complicated and I don't think it's just the nostalgia. the guitar on the verse is to die for.

 

[RJN]

Such a perfect first single for her

 

[GNL]

Avril and The Matrix made some good music. What happened to them? Did they do some songs for Hilary Duff and a pre-fame Katy Perry and then just disappear into the ether?
