Is this what industrial is coming to? Yes remix’s by other bands and contemplation CD’s are excellent but since when does an album need the song 3 times on it? The song is good, but not that flipping good. Not to mention if you need to put out the song in 3 different formats, normally that would mean “IT’S NOT READY”. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">What makes this even more annoying is they are ruining the song. It’s been out for awhile, people enjoy it AS IS, now they put it on their NEW album 3 times. Is this a sad joke or pun coming from the band? Perhaps they messed up with the tracklist (Yeah right). Oh I know, they didn’t have enough tracks put make a new album without putting up these remixes (Come on it’s only 8 songs long.) <o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">This band has so many other songs that it just comes across as pure laziness to put multiples of the same song. Did I mention they all practically sound the same?<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">-3 points for lack of ingenuity<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">-5 points for making BETA the last remix<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">+1 point for having a Stromkern Remix (love that band)<o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">So this -7 out of -10 score means the band should have been backhanded with the album and sent back in to redo it.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Jerks. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">As Always, Here is A Fix<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p>Post from: <a href="http://www.industrialaddiction.com">Industrial Addiction</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.industrialaddiction.com/2007/09/monday-insight-4/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
