I seem to be in the minority for liking Trainsurfing....

I just realized The Diver was voted off. It's a shame too, it's one of my favorite songs of hers.
And in my opinion the guitar bits don't ruin the song, they add to it. The entire song is about failing at relationships and without the tension they provide, it'd just be somewhat cloying.
As I see it, each guitar bit represents one failure and there's just so much tension and conflict there. The background drums sort of seem like steely breaths, somewhat. Anyway. I'm done blathering but I feel it wouldn't be right without them.

That's an interesting observation actually, hadn't even occurred to me. If you're right, then yes they are an integral part of the song psycholgically.Crystallina wrote: And in my opinion the guitar bits don't ruin the song, they add to it.

There is only one Stina song that makes me cringe as soon as it starts:
Lori Glory
I swear, I hear "Lori Glory" and I run, I break things, I trip and fall....all to get to the cd player fast enough so I don't have to hear that keyboard saxaphone sound!!! I hate it.
I do, however, like the fact that it's about her being in love with a girl.
I think Diver should go, too. Much worse than Stations!
I love the bass line in Trainsurfing, it's entertaining to play or just tap your feet to. I like the story, too.

Its not that bad........most of whats on the MOAC album is worse.sound world wrote:So there's three of us who hate 'Lori Glory' with a passion.The single worst Stina song,IMHO.
LG is a jaunty fun song,the feel of which has been beautifully captured by the accompanying video. Whenever i hear the song now I immediately think of the guy with his head stuck through the wall and the little girl jumping up and down on the bed sending feathers flying in the air.
