The Black Rainbow - Coheed and Cambria. Understated isn't a word that should ever be used to described a C&C song so I'll call it subdued. You're never hit over the head with any kind of bombast yet they create a cinematic, epic song here. These are my favorite kinds of songs. This is also the song that cemented my permanent fandom.
You Don't Mess Around With Jim - Jim Croce. Jim sure likes singing about bad asses. I think this is the superior of the Jim Croce bad ass songs. Glad to hear that someone named "Slim" was admitted to the league of badassery.
The Cold Part - Modest Mouse. I usually dig a rock song with strings but I'm not enjoying this at all. It's an unfocused downer of a dirge. It needs an interesting bridge and an urgent coda for it to be listenable.
Listen To Me - J. Mascis. More meandering downer music. Yech.
Stop Funk'n With My Head - Infectious Grooves. Seems dated. Maybe I'm just in critical mood after the last two downer songs. I guess it's an adequate funk jam.
