12.26.13 | 2 may be the most underrated song ever.
Give me your top 10-20 Orchid songs. Picking the top 10 was so hard for me, I love all the songs in my top 30 soooooooo fucking much |
Trebor.
12.26.13 | I don't really pay attention to song titles for a band like this |
XingKing
12.26.13 | POSTAN HERE AND FACEBOOK! WEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! |
XingKing
12.26.13 | I agree with Trebor too. I really only know the names to my favorite tracks despite having been listening to this band for 10+ years |
YakNips
12.26.13 | Idk I guess I'm just obsessed with song titles. Also Xing you never answered me, are you down to do some guitar stuff for me and demi's project? |
XingKing
12.26.13 | I usually just know songs by their track numbers, but I usually listen to Orchids discography when I jam them anyway.
I'll have to think about it because I honestly don't think I'm very good at writing that style of music (more chord structures and dissonance than my noodle stuff). It's always worth a shot but I can't guarantee I'll have anything good |

12.26.13 | In The Mist She Was Standing > |
YakNips
12.26.13 | Yeah this project is just for fun man, just shoutbox me sometime if you wanna be a part of it |
akimbo
12.26.13 | 15 and 18 are too low maaaan |
YakNips
12.26.13 | Never been a huge fan of I Am Nietzche but its still undoubtedly a great song. I Wanna Fight should probably be higher but they just have too many great songs |
sniper
12.26.13 | 4 is 1
pointless to do this tbh but the ranking is pretty solid |
akimbo
12.26.13 | my ranking would suck just cuz i'm so fond of dance tonight over the other 2. all 3 are great, but i'm just super biased to that one in particular |
YakNips
12.26.13 | This was just for fun so I could get some more love for this band out there. Also anyone who hasn't heard 2,3, or 9 please check them out. Sooo underrated |
sniper
12.26.13 | cat
car crash
loft party
idk after that |
akimbo
12.26.13 | i feel like you had to be around during the life of this band to truly get them. i doubt most of the people here were old enough to see this band live. i'll never forget experiencing them for the first time live |
sniper
12.26.13 | eye gouger and mathematics are top 10 fa sho |
Rhyme
12.26.13 | hard to choose tbh but i really love none more black, tigers, weekend at the fire academy, and destination: blood |
sniper
12.26.13 | "i feel like you had to be around during the life of this band to truly get them." i feel like that's complete bullshit. |
YakNips
12.26.13 | I was like 5 when they broke up lol. I wish I could've seen them live. But I truly do think I get them, I can give reasoning for all my top 10
Car Crash is the perfection of everything Orchid was
Unknown Body hits me extremely hard, and is a jam that anyone can enjoy
New Ideas In Mathematics is almost perfection
Cat is the most emotional Orchid song, but as far as the song itself goes it doesn't reach the same level as the top 3
New Jersey Vs Valhalla is simply badass and fun song to jam, and is one of the most energetic Orchid songs
None More Black has incrdedible progressive instrumentation, an amazing breakdown, and introspective lyrics. Definitely one of Orchid's best.
Loft Party has some of Orchid's best lyrics and a very unique and memorable song on an album that doesn't have too many standouts.
Aesthetic Dialectic is the perfection of the chaotic side of Orchid. This song goes hard.
Hit The Ground is the perfection of early Orchid's style. Plus it has an amazing ending.
Destination: Blood! is a badass jam that jams jammily |
demigod!
12.26.13 | Orchid must have been nuts live.
Nice list, 1 is 1. |
akimbo
12.26.13 | if i never went to an orchid show, never heard jay greene talk, i don't think i would like them as much as i do. but that's just me. |
akimbo
12.26.13 | jesus how young are you guys lol |
YakNips
12.26.13 | thanks demi ily
but akimbo I am honestly jealous of you because Orchid is my all-time favorite band so I have no idea how much I'd like them if I had went to one of their shows |
YakNips
12.26.13 | I'm 16 aki |
Judio!
12.26.13 | Yak you like Orchid? Never would've guessed... |
akimbo
12.26.13 | you have good taste for a 16 year old. keep it up buddy |
YakNips
12.26.13 | thanks bro
also yeah judio I like em a little bit |
akimbo
12.26.13 | did you like the orchid tribute comp that came out last year or whatever? i was really hoping sed non satiata was going to do cat, but the foxes version is great. it reminds me of the blue letter. a lot of great current bands doing their best rendition of orchid with their own flavor |
Gwyn.
12.26.13 | cat turned to smoke then idc enough |
YakNips
12.26.13 | Yeah I actually loved the Orchid tribute that came out, I own the record of that record. It's fantastic. |
akimbo
12.26.13 | i have the digital, would love to have the wax. i should probably look for that. |
YakNips
12.26.13 | It only ships from Europe unfortunately : |
akimbo
12.26.13 | someone told me coma regalia had them when they saw them a few months ago, i'll have to keep an eye open |
demigod!
12.26.13 | i am 20 but i dont see why its relevant to enjoying music. get off your high horse |
YakNips
12.26.13 | Damn I need to see Coma Regalia live, along with Loma Prieta probably the best screamo band out there right now |
akimbo
12.26.13 | who are you talking to? |
akimbo
12.26.13 | fuck yeah man, i love loma! definitely see them if you get the chance. capacities are killer too if you've heard of them. if not, check em out! |
YakNips
12.26.13 | lol I'm actually listening to their split with Coma Regalia right now, because you mentioned CR I had to look em up and listen to em so yeah I am checking them out, they rule |
akimbo
12.26.13 | if anyone thought i was saying i'm superior because i'm older, you completely misunderstood what i was saying |
akimbo
12.26.13 | i hope everyone of all ages can enjoy music :) |
sniper
12.26.13 | foxes cover is the only one i really remember, a loma prieta cover of mathematics would be dick hardening. btw, i have no doubt that records are a poor substitute for performances (true of almost all music) but really powerful records stand on their own, i don't buy the argument that it's not possible to understand records without seeing performances (or the other way around for that matter). not to say a deeper level of appreciation is impossible through live experiences, but recordings and performances are just different things. |
YakNips
12.27.13 | Get righteous, get right |
Trebor.
01.31.14 | I don't like the way you treated me
I wanna fight |
Trebor.
01.31.14 | Dr. Goodsex needs to be much higher |
StallionMang
12.09.14 | [2] and We Love Prison |
YakNips
12.10.14 | those are awesome but gatefold has better jams |
Supercoolguy64
12.10.14 | 1 is 1 agreed |
