Disco Stu 15,495 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 It's firmly in that current trend where most pop music sounds like it was written and recorded in a heavy Ambien haze. Like where you wonder if they even remember making the song they sound so out of it. SteveMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTenma 116 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I didn't dislike the song... Is not great, but I prefer this song than Spectre, for instance.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I've seen lots of smart, articulate people who sometimes have taste that aligns with mine praising Eilish and her brother. I've listened to this song and a couple of of her hits, and I just don't hear anything special or interesting. Of course she's only 18, so maybe their music will develop into something I'm more into.

TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I still think she will win an Oscar for this. You know they are dying to give her an Oscar. She basically won all the grammys. And she has already performed at the Oscars. The song is nice but I really wish she would do a version without mumbling and with open vocals.

mstrox 6,651 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I like Eilish but on first listen don't care too much for this. I like the older ones where they basically had singers just belting out Barry's great melodies, and after Man With the Golden Gun, I'm very hit or miss with liking any Bond songs. I did like Cornell's though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I take issue with Chris Cornell's voice aesthetically. That sort of husky sensitive-yet-masculine grunge singer (see also: Scott Stapp, Eddie Vedder) I just find unappealing to listen to. The song is pretty good though.

I think that's an interesting comparison - I've never lumped Cornell into that "butt-rock" category with Vedder, Stapp, Nickelback Jones or whoever that is, etc. I might have included STP's Scott Weiland, but Cornell has always seemed like an outlier to me. Unlike those bands, Soundgarden was always somewhat inaccessible to me beyond the singles - bordering too close to metal, maybe? Anyway, I never really dig too much Cornell, whereas I could pop on a Pearl Jam or STP album and it would be mindless and fine. I do like his voice though - he had a heck of a range, and a lot of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
