Yeah, I'm surprised at the dislike I'm seeing here. Freaking love this song, regardless of its efficacy as a single. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freaking love this song, regardless of its efficacy as a single. Just to be clear, love the song! I was just speaking on it as a single specifically and why I think it didn't keep the huge Feeling This/I Miss You momentum going at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elisa Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Lyrically Down be might be dull but I think songwriting was mostly a craft to blink. They have always been the kind of band that just wanted to put all their efforts in how a song sounded. And their songs sounded immense and were different from everything else, although they weren't anything new. Maybe Down is overplayed but you can still listen to it and appreciate what they were trying to capture with it. Stockholm Syndrome is more immediate, I prefer it too, but it's a simpler song and I think that, as a band, they were more into Down than Stockholm Syndrome at the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ182 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Interesting, when I think of Down and Stockholm Syndrome I think of Down as a wayyy "simpler" song! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaand I think you're right because the song structure of Stockholm Sydrome is way more complex but it's just something I don't tend to notice when I listen to it because Stockholm Sydrome is a fast and strong song (that's why I said it was immediate, at least to me). On the contrary, I like all the subtle things you can catch in Down because it feels like they add more layers to a regular song, like the piano effects in the verses, the whispers, the guitar tones. The drums too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy. Shouldn't even be much debate, but Enema/TOYPAJ are interchangable to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
