koganbotThe top of the chart hasn't lost its boom boom pow, even if some of the rest has trouble getting off its bum.
Dave Matthews Band "Funny The Way It Is": Vocals come out squishy; the bass tends to rumble and skip its way off the road and into nearby corn fields and drainage dishes; and rather than flowing, the rhythm oozes, but not in a good way. There are some prog shift-ups in the middle of this that have a slightly goofy fun to them, and it's possible I'll get use to the singing, but the indistinctness coming up from the sound's infrastructure would dull it all out for me anyway. NO TICK.
Jeremih "Birthday Sex": Exquisite sweetness that a strangely thin sound, a callow love man, and dumb and obvious lyrics don't altogether sabotage (but click here for my complaints). TICK.
