As 6 Degrees proves.

The JoZ 09-03-2004 08:56 AM

Yeah, 6 Degrees the song is not that great.

I like parts of it, but parts of it seem to drag on incessantly. Like, most of it.

War Inside My Head is a great movement...and the Overture would be great if it were about 3 minutes long...

The rest...not that special.

Edit: Kif's review.

Yeah, I only like about half of them. Some of them I really like though.

Anyway, this is a NOFX review.

[QUOTE=The JoZ]Psh. Dream Theater has A Change of Seasons which is 23 minutes long, and 6 Degrees of Inner Turbulence, which is a whole disc by itself, and ultimately, a 42 minute song.

I've never heard this, but I hate hearing people go "OMG it's 18 minutes long it roxx0rz"

Length does not = quality.[/QUOTE]


Hey I like it cuz I like it, not cuz it's 18 minutes long.

[QUOTE=peber]anyone want to see the analysis i did of the song??[/QUOTE]
okay...


I'm not a huge fan of NOFX these days, since I pretty much stopped listening to punk all together 3 years ago. But the Decline is an exception. By far thier best song, and not just becuase of the length. If you broke the entire thing up unto 3 minutes parts those parts would still s[size=2]h[/size]it on most of thier other songs.

The lyrics are good too.

Great song, not an amazing song but still great. Probably my favourite NoFX song but definetly not one of my favourite songs of all time.

More power to you.

But I've encountered alot of people who go, almost literally

"The Decline is awesome, it's an 18 minute song, omfg it r0xx0rz my boxx0rz and u should too! lol!"

Liking the song/group isn't bad, but basing it off it's length is rather dumb.

Kif 09-04-2004 12:57 PM

Wow, this is an old review. Pretty crap compared to my regular ones.

Tangy zizzle 09-04-2004 06:12 PM

I like this song.

weezerfan 11-25-2004 12:26 PM

omg, honestly.....its a masterpiece, and not because of the length. fat mike's voice is one of the better voices in punk.....(lol other than jello), and the lyrics are ****ing great. the transitions between the small, idk what to even call them, (mini verses??) are great. the small, instrumental parts are one of the best things about this ep, and the variety is fantastic. It goes from dark, dreary parts, to music that sounds like it could be the sesame street theme song (towards the beginning, "arent ever asked, is anyone learning from the past"....etc). all in all a great song, that everyone should give a listen to. 5 out of 5, hands down.

How much does it cost?

Neoteric 11-25-2004 01:55 PM

the problem with 20 minute songs is that barely anyone would listen to it the whole way through

denboy 11-25-2004 03:09 PM

[QUOTE=jimmymcmahon2001]Its not "Prog Punk", just because its long, doesnt make it prog.
[/QUOTE]

I haven't heard the song, but I am pretty darned sure it's prog.. I can't see how you can have an 18 min long song without it being a progression from one point to another. Unless it's a boring song. (And, according to the replies, it isn't boring.. hehe)

Mozzletoffed 11-25-2004 03:36 PM

Enjoyable,one of my favorites at the moment..but impossible to play...
