First reaction to Bring Me the Horizon - Happy Song & Throne

This is a post that has literally been in my drafts since happy song got released and until now I haven't listened to it  because I wanted this post to be a "first reaction" and tbh, if it wasn't for the fact that they have just released the first official single off of their new album, I probably still wouldn't have wrote this post.


So this is like a 4 minute song or something and judging by the beginning, I think I'm really going to enjoy it. I wasn't really holding much hope for the album because of all of the butt hurt fans that still live in 2008. But, I'm impressed. I really enjoyed the mellow songs on Sempiternal. I really like the lyrics too. I haven't had a proper look at them but they're pretty sweet. I am absolutely loving the instrumental aspects of this track, so fucking sick. Yep, I'm really liking this song, it's very similar to sempiternal at the end of the track. but yeah, second song released off the new album and I can honestly say that I'm looking forward to it, definitely think I'll be buying this album when it's released.

Okay, time to listen to the first official single off of the album - Throne.
I'm not 100% loving the intro, oli's vocals are brilliant - as always. the lyrics are pretty good. I'm really not a fan of the song instrumentally though. but anything with techno robot shit in, I've never been a fan of. This song is very repetative and a little basic/simple for my liking however I did read the interview that they did with Rolling Stone and Jordan Fish said himself that this song is the most simple one that they wrote for the new album.
I'm going to give it another listen but only because I actually want to watch the video this time.
not a fan of the video but after listening to the song a second time, I kinda like the drumming. But I think that might just be the only instrument that sounds good in the whole song. I think I would like oli's vocals a lot more if he didn't sound so grisly but that is probably due to years of screaming badly (not saying his "screaming" was bad, just that his technique wasn't great and has quite obviously ruined his vocals and it will take a while for his voice to go back to normal).

Fifty Shades of Grey Rant and Cover Ideas.

I must admit, I'm getting sort of stuck on what to post about lately, I think that's why I stopped blogging last year. But, I'm just going to see where this post takes me until I come up with some better ideas.
Okay, so right now I'm listening to the playlist that spotify made for me of my top 100 played songs of last year and seriously, I don't recall listening to half of these songs. But, on the topic of music, I have been trying to find the perfect song to do a cover of recently but I can't find anything. I've tried Sam Smith, Sia, Birdy, John Legend, Bring Me The Horizon and Rihana but nothing seems right and is comfortable to sing in my current living conditions. So, if anyone has any ideas of songs for a soprano vocalist to cover then let me know? thanks.
Really looking forward to posting my february favourites at the end of this month, been adding to it everytime I buy and try out something new and i'm really enjoying it so far, it makes me want to buy myself new things all the time.
How many of you are going to see the Fifty Shades of Grey movie? I personally won't be going to see it or support it in any way at all. After seeing some of the things that are included in that movie (I never read the book), I decided that it was definitely not the kind of thing I wanted to support. I mean, I completely understand what people mean when they say that there are plenty of other movies that promote the same sort of things but most of the time, those sort of things are represented as a bad thing, like the bad guy will rape someone, or sexually abuse someone, and when it is represented in a positive way, it's not to the same extremes as FSoG, And, I also understand people when they say that other movies support other things, like I saw one person say that The Hunger Games supports child labour and war or some bulls**t like that, and if you want to have that point of view then good for you, but at the end of the day, it f**king doesn't, and even if it did, it's a bloody fantasy movie. I mean, for gods sake, have you even watched it? The people in it are ridiculous, it's a fantasy movie, not a supposed "romantic" movie.
