WeAreStrong! Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Yes me too! I'M SO HAPPY ABOUT IT. My dad came in, and then went back straight back out again when he saw what I was watching Ahahah, we can only say: Parents! Love you when I'm drunk sounds like a fooking mario on drugs song Ahah, that's funny! xD this song gets me in a party mood! Anyway, I couldn't resist and immediately listened to it! I can say, I like every song melody, some songs are more dance-like, other ones are perfect to listen and enjoy, but I like it all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 the more i listen, the more i hate MYH, to be honest. i didn't like it in the beginning, then came to like it (probably cause it was the only new mika song we had by then ), and i still think it's ok. but really, was it necessary to put it on the album TWICE?! he could've put that faster version of step with me on the cd, i wouldn't have minded hearing *that* twice! anyway, guess i'll listen to the french version more often then, as it has emd instead of the 2nd myh. if he releases MYH as a single, i'll slap him.

kreacher Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) i love it... lots... and lots... and lots. faves so far are: Emily, Love You When I'm Drunk, Overrated (even though the demos is one of my fave Mika songs ever), Step With Me, MYH, Stardust, TOOL and Lola.

To me it's the exact opposite: I have always loved it but the more I listen the more I appreciate it. the second version has different lyrics, btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be really interesting to compare the two lyrics - maybe they will turn out to be the different sides of the 'truth' ..etc. PS: love the snippets and my least favourite is still Celebrate , so nothing to worry about as far as I am concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's create a Mario-Mikaparty! Who plays Mario?! :yay: if he releases MYH as a single, i'll slap him. I agree! MYH is the song that I like the least. Oh well, but I adore the acoustic version!

Sephira Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 As my sixth sense had predicted, I like only half of the album, that's why I'm not so shocked by the album, to me I concider this album as the worst Mika's one. The song The Origin of Love is a master piece and Underwater too, Lola is a really nice song like Kids, Celebrate is sympathetic. I'm not telling you in detail what I do not like in every song because it might be long, I summarize by too much electro-dance music that spoils probably beautiful songs. For example I think "Overrated" was slain, the demo version is so pure and beautiful that why it is a disaster in making of it a dance song without any emotions. The only thing I have to said it's that if an artist really wants to have a long carreer he must have his proper sounds, his proper musical identity which must be something timeless.

MYH is grey and depressing, makes me feel low. It doesn't sound anything like mika- why is this the one he has to put on twice?! BTW, was it you who said that Kids was disturbing?

mellody Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 BTW, was it you who said that Kids was disturbing? I was wondering why! nope, wasn't me... after milan i said i couldn't remember much of it, so i probably found it boring. but i like it since i heard the live version from amsterdam. and i like this album version. something in heroes is disturbing me... but dunno what, and in any case it's getting less since i listened to it about 100x meanwhile.

smokesignal Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 +! MYH is grey and depressing, makes me feel low. It doesn't sound anything like mika- why is this the one he has to put on twice?! BTW, was it you who said that Kids was disturbing? I was wondering why! I agree that it's depressing, but that's what makes it beautiful. I'm careful with listening to it too much, because indeed it makes me feel depressed, but that's also what I like about the song. About putting it on twice, I guess we'll only understand if we hear the complete song, with lyrics... and even then we can only guess I actually thought Heroes was a bit weird. There's the soft and low part, which I loved, and then there's the higher part, which seems to be too loud to me, compared to the rest of the song. Am I the only one that thinks so?

WeAreGolden* Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I can't stop listening to it, I love them all, I even love Make You Happy which I hated at first, same with Celebrate I can't wait to listen to LYWID, it's so crazy, SO SO CRAZY. It could have such an interesting video clip The whole album is a bit too electronic for me too (especially TOOL, I love the live version too much), I don't mind Overrated because we can always listen to the demo anyways, and I'm so happy he didn't make any major changes to UW from what we hear live. Unlike most, I'm not really into Heroes, I can't get the rhythm. And Stardust is not one of my favourites either. But I'm really happy with it, all my doubts have disappeared.

mikahepburn Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I AM SO HAPPY!!! All of the songs are excellent, and I actually prefer this version of Overrated Love all the songs, love Mika's new style as well. IMO Mika has made the right decision, because pop music change very often, and if he doesn't change his style his record will be harder to sell in the market.

There's the soft and low part, which I loved, and then there's the higher part, which seems to be too loud to me, compared to the rest of the song. Am I the only one that thinks so? well my bf (who had to listen to the album since he's home ) loves the higher part (chorus?) but he thinks it should build up from there, and not go back right to the slow part. since he said this, i hear it too - it's like there's something missing... but maybe it'll build up towards the end, like it's the case with many mika songs. we'll see when we hear the whole song, maybe also then the slow vs. fast part doesn't seem so weird anymore but it'll all fit better together? having said this, i guess that's also a reason why i'm not so happy about myh right now - i like the end of the song most, and that's missing in this version of course. :rolls_eyes: Edited September 6, 2012 by mellody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the disturbing bit about heroes is right at the end of the snippet. I can't remember the exact quote, but it's something about death. I badly need to listen to the whole of heroes though; it sounds nowhere near like a full song as it is. Anybody else disturbed by By the Time? The first time I heard that song, it virtually put me off mika, and I didn't listen to it or even think about it for several months! Everyone else on here just seems to say it's beautiful!

Kaito Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'm gonna resist :DD HAHA I've just listened to those we already knew to see what was the difference compared to live versions we've heard up to now. :> I'm glad to read some of your comments, it's just making me even more EAGER to listen to this album 11 days left ! *______* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
