Cheers dude Like I said, its not about getting extra posts ... if I wanted them that bad, I'd a) go spam the hell out of the Fun And Games Forum, and b) post these replies in seperate posts to the review. The point is, people were moaning at Baikonur for his reviews being too long, and this one is longer, so I wanted to make it more easily digestible ... like dividing a book into chapters.

Aaaaanyways:

Love Lies – Although Runaway has arguably the most mature lyrical theme of the album, I think this song has the best lyrics, a nice bit of ‘poetry of the streets’, and a good example of ow to tell a story in four minutes. The balladic piano intro is deceptive, although some of the guitar during the verses drifts nicely (and seems to go at a different tempo to the vocals at points, which I think adds to the drifting effect well), the chorus features the typical slower heavy rock that’s common throughout the album, although the bass seems to be extra prominent. Overall then, lyrically very good, musically a reasonable attempt at some dynamics; but one which falls just slightly flat in comparison to the last song.

3/5
