They would all be fine if it just wasn't her singing. I love the guitar on Femme, but her voice...For fuck's sake. I think those three songs would just sound like stuff from the self-titled one if Lou sang them.

I like her singing on "Sunday Morning", in spite of the cod-Bob Dylanisms that she tries to attempt.

Pookie - someone from beyond the grave wants a word with you:

Me and acousticrock87 bonding over mutual hate of Nico's voice. It's a moment in time we'll never recapture so let's savour it.

I think all the tracks are great, but her voice...For fuck's sake.

I don't think she sings on Sunday Morning.

Tell her to go back to voice hell where she belongs.

femme fatale sounds like fucking elevator music.

I was about to defend it, but actually it does sound like elevator music...

Still, I like it.

Cantankerous 08.11.2008 05:59 AM

or like "please hold" music

I'm a sucker for anything with major 7th chords. I can't help it.

atsonicpark 08.11.2008 06:02 AM

Hahaha.

Personally, if it has a D chord anywhere in it, it's my favorite song ever.

Cantankerous 08.11.2008 06:03 AM

i like flat chords

Woah. So like, every song?

The day I found out that you could replace all major/minor chords in a progression with maj7/min7 chords and make it sound like jazz was probably the happiest day of my life. (Slightly exaggerated.)

Flatted 13ths are also incredible. And whatever these are:

That be a diminished chord, sir.

acousticrock87 08.11.2008 06:08 AM

I thought so, but didn't feel like looking. They sound great after a long pause.

Cantankerous 08.11.2008 06:08 AM

i don't know what any of you are talking about.

i like things like these, which could be flats or sharps depending on how you want to look at it.

C-sharp/D-flat - the first chord in the descending riff on the Stooges' "Search And Destroy".

Best chord ever. From the Diablo town theme. It's gotta be stummed upwards, to. I don't know why.

yes.
flat chords arranged with regular chords can be interesting and really dark sounding sometimes.
