Ozma Survivor: Pasadena, Round 2!

[Fantastic Max]

Whoa, my Eponine, you and I both know that No One Needs to Know we left the island.

Seeing as those two were gonna leave first anyway, and it was a tie, I decided not to do a tie-breaker. That'd be ridiculous and unnecessary, which brings us to Round 2. Let the games begin, for most.


3 days, this time.

Lunchbreak is one of my favorites.

[amish]

I like Lunchbreak overall, I just don't really like the beginning of it. It could totally be exactly what they were going for, but it sounds too "elementary school"-ish. If that is a proper description.

wow very well put. elementary, definitely. its a toss up between barriers and ftd if they make it to the next round, for me anyways. im  "....meh......" on both

[Fantastic Max]

Out of Ryen's solo-writing songs I'd say Barriers is the worst(although I don't hate it) making Fight the Darkness the best.

Fight the Darkness' high points:
The drumroll into "And you'll never feel the cooold..." at 0:37  and 1:38 with Ryen's wonderful vocals, which leads into the badass breakdown of the chorus at 1:50.
Great melodies with keys and guitar, even cool bass from Dan.

Only thing I don't like about the song, is the cheesy beginning and end. I wish it would end at 2:26 with just a resounding chord, instead of the lame, "Whooa, Fight the darkness" a bunch of times.

see, thats what kills the song for me. i cant stand hearing "youve gotta FIGHT THE DARKNESSSSSSSS" 22 times. the repetition kills it for me.

Haha, and the ending kind of reminds me of the theme song for something like the Street Fighter cartoon show.

Someone voted for "Heartache vs. Heartbreak" 

That said, I voted for "Barriers." It's not that I don't like the song, I simply suppose I connect to it less than the others. I personally think "Fight the Darkness" is great, though I didn't feel so until I heard it live.

Someone voted for "Heartache vs. Heartbreak" 

I'd like to think that it was Ryen.

Lol  Sabotage?

But remember, Ryen writes a lot of the great music in the album, even in HvH.

If I were Ryen, I'd be like "Screw Dan, I'm voting for 'I Wonder', muahahaha"

[heysarahsarah]

ryen doesn't have a writing credit on HvH does he?  I thought music was Dan, lyrics Dan and Star?

Anyway, I think lunchbreak is an awesome song.  I voted Fight the Darkness, which is a song I like, but is better live than on album.

[gloom-glaam]

I tried voting for Fight the Darkness, but I voted for Barriers by mistake.

hahaha. its ok i mix em up alot to.

[machatte]

I wonder who voted "I wonder" off the island? hm.....

I'm sure those badass guitar licks in the song were written by Ryen, is what I was referring to.
I believe Dan wrote the rest of the song on acoustic.

[Fantastic Max]

Haha

[Martha Gail]

Man, I really like Fight the Darkness.  I rocked out to it last night.  Really.

[VanSlegr Fan]

actually i agree massively with Samantha. when the drums kicked the song off i instantly thought "WOAH they were right hearing this song live makes it great" .... and Ryen said Lunchbreak was played live for the 2nd time last nite, and i will say i like it more as well once i heard it live, somehow.... i saw it as more fun, i dunno, like it more now.

[machatte]

Barriers and FTD are going to start their own Island and not let of the other songs on it, and we're only gonna listen to "Island in the Sun"

[Alex]

With Eponine gone, this poll is already too difficult for me to continue with it. 

This reminds me, I haven't listened to Pasadena in a week or two now.  I've just been getting so much new music!  Time to solve that.

haha

fwiw I think Barriers is fucking great and I don't know why it's getting so many votes. 

[VanSlegr Fan]

i think its better than Lunchbreak anyways.

if i was stranded on the island with Barriers and FTD, id want to listen to Total Ecplise of the Heart.
