Polls / Poll: Studio or Live "Hands on Me"?
« on: October 01, 2007, 12:21:00 pm »
i'm torn between the two, so i can't vote. I loved the live version because it was a bit slower and more beautiful. I like the studio versoin because all of the instrument are in it. yet the strings are kinda sucky.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Fan Reviews of Heroes and Thieves
« on: September 27, 2007, 09:16:09 am »
I'll review the songs I've chosen to listen to before the release date:
Nolita Fairytale. Well, we all know it. It's great.
Hands On Me. The intro is nice. First verse is nice. Chorus is nice. Second verse is ok, my only complaint is that the strings repeated that same note in harmonization with the verse. I mean, they could've articulated a bit. The bridge is great, especially when the na na na na na choir comes in. After the choir, i was completely dissappointed with the string arrangement. They make that whining type sound when moving to the different notes. If they would have not slid into each note, the strings
would've created a much more epic feel. The last verse is amzing and grand with the finishing choir. Overall the song is great. Single material.
Spring Street. OMG, I thought The Beatles when I first listened. Granted, it is different, but I thought it was really good. The na na na na na na nah's are smooth and sultry to me. I love them. The story of the song is beautiful and my eyes were "wet with tears." I love the ending verse about how she speaks about having a daughter in the future. The nanah's aren't that profound, but it doesn't ruin the song whatsoever. I think it's nice. The bridge is nice. I still get the Beatles feel with the background singing. especially when she transitions into the chorus afterward ("even when we have to say.../chorus") I like this song a lot. I don't see what everyone is complaining about. I think it's single material.
My Best. Short and sweet. Cute melody throughout. It's obvious this song is about Stephan. A lot of these songs are actually. I like the strings in this song. The ending could've been a little better. Overall nice song.
Come Undone. The phased organ intro could be likened to some Deep Purple keyboarding. I like it, but what the hell is it doing in front of this song? On to the song, the piano is nice. I have to say, this is probably my least favorite song so far. This song reminds me so much of one of those dime-a-dozen lame pop songs from women you hear in the music at the grocery store, if you know what I'm talking about. Just with the clapping in tempo and the light guitar. That's my only let down. I love the outro with just the jamming and piano.
and This Time We were soooo used to the speedy live version. This one was slowed down noticably. When i first listened i was singing way ahead of her. But you get used to it. It does sound mostly like the promosquad clip we heard. It's a good song. Maybe even single material.
Fools Like Me My god this song is completely different. The intro is like wtf. The song is too fast paced. Getting into the song though, it gets better. but it's definately not what we expected, a sad dark song. It needs a different drum beat to go along. I love the ending where we finally get a break from the upbeat fast tempoed crap. but all in all, it's not a bad song. Possiblysingle worthy.

I'm trying to see if I can edit the song so I can remove Stevie's voice..
Please share that if you succeed.

I'd definitely want the H&T Special edition from Best Buy if that exists. maybe they'll put it up on their website so we can confirm. I'm gonna have to buy my first copy at Wal-mart due to the proximity of it to my house. and if best buy has that deal, then I'll buy a second copy there. I never buy two copies of an album, but this is just special. Really special!

Yea, and I guess this tracklist is the right one? It has home second to last. I think i like that better.

that's cool. Home is one of the tracks I've decided to wait for until the album comes out. I really want to hear it though, because i love that song so much.

Granted, I can't wait...but if you are downloading it, BUY IT.
That's all I have to say.
Definetley!
It's brilliant. I see what V means about waking up on a Sunday morning & putting it on.
I agree, there's times where there's just music to meditate to. like at the end of Come Undone.

Hands on me is completely different than what I was expecting, but I'll get used to it. Spring street is amazing.
I'm only going to listen to the first five tracks and save the rest for OCT 9th. I spoiled it for myself last time with Evanescence's Open Door. I knew the whole album before it came out and it made the real copy less important to me. Not this time.

Completely Off-Topic / What does Non LP mean?
« on: September 25, 2007, 07:53:33 pm »
Abbreviated for "Long Play". EPs are "extended play" which refer to singles with more than one track, but under a certain time or track limit. I think it was anything over 5 tracks or 30 min long which is considered an LP.

Polls / What should the second H&T single be?
« on: September 25, 2007, 07:46:22 pm »
Hands on me would be a sick follow up single. She needs to keep the ball rolling, then use the last single (hopefully a fourth single by then) with Home. Cuz then it's like "closing the era of H.A.T". Well, that's how I think. Prolly not that taken seriously when it comes to record sales.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / new album already advertised at big stores
« on: September 25, 2007, 07:43:48 pm »
That tracklisting just doesn't fit right to me, even if it is official. Home should be near the end of the album. It's an epic piece to just be in the middle.

I was white houses, which describes me pretty well. (as well as everyone else too it seems)
