Hermione Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 It's good! Much better than I was expecting (considering only two of the four of them are proper musicians and imagining what most families would sound like if they did this ). What a lovely idea and they pulled it off nicely. Must've been loads of fun too. I didn't realize the only judgement people are allowed to make about this had to involve freaking out about how amazing and special and cute it is. It's new music, I don't really care if it was just for fun or whatever, I'm still going to evaluate it like I do any piece of music and state my impressions. It's just done for fun for Christmas though. Giving it a serious critique is a bit like giving a family going carol singing a serious critique . I haven't really seen anyone get jumped on just for saying they don't like how it sounds though. But I have seen people on other sites saying the whole idea is awful and they shouldn't have done it because it makes Billie look bad, which kind of totally misses the point of why they did it.

Disapperingirl Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Just listened to all the songs!! That was a very very nice Christmas gift from them Not the next big thing obviously, but I think Joey and Jakob did a great job (Wallflower, awesome!)...overall so funny! Especially Little Silent Boy I expected Adrienne's voice to be so different! But she isn't bad at all, I love how the whole family has this punk rock spirit Daddyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastard of 1967 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I'm sorry but what's a higher bit rate? In digital audio (I'm oversimplifying a bit but this will do) the more digital data you cram into each unit of time (seconds, milliseconds, whatever), your "bit rate" goes up along with your file size. The resulting digital waveform (or image) of the sound more closely matches the waveform of the original, which we hear as better fidelity in the digital copy (especially in the higher frequency ranges, I've found). /offtopic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarahnade Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I really like Adrienne's voice! Super Starship and I Want Revenge have to be my favorites. So catchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripe Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Someone wrote up I Want Revenge a couple of pages ago... Sorry I can't figure out how to link to that post but it's on page 19 or 20 maybe. I don't think anyone has done Little Silent Boy, but aren't those lyrics pretty much just the traditional ones to Silent Night mashed up with Little Drummer Boy?

gerardsangel4977 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I have to admit, I was somewhat apprehensive about this whole thing going into it, but they have won me over! Some of the lyrics aren't the best, but as people have said, it's clearly not meant to be taken seriously. The guitar work also isn't that great, but I forgive it on the grounds that it is a 13-year-old playing. "Little Silent Boy" is just awesome and has already made it's way onto my Christmas playlist. Btw, is it just me, or can anyone else totally see these songs playing in the background to a Target commercial? Welcome to the world of online fandom .... if you think this is bad, you should check out the My Chemical Romance one. We might have a few crazies with crushes on the boys' kids; they have crazies that write fanfiction inbvolving the band and their kids, who are all toddlers. I do agree with what you said though, for the most part. I've seen some proper creepers, and have heard some horror stories of stuff that some fans do at Emily's Army shows (wearing Green Day shirts and asking Joey to sign a copy of 'Dookie' comes to mind.) Unfortunately these kids don't seem to see the creep factor of it all and that's the scariest part. Not to dredge up an old subject, but I read this and had to say that, while there are many things that have scared me about the MCR fandom, the incident involving the pedo!slash, so far as I know, was the result of one person's writing, and one alone. Most of the fanbase was shocked and abhorred by it. In fact, a good portion of the fanbase finds the whole practice of fanfiction disgusting and despicable, no matter who it's with (though I often wonder how much of this is genuine opinion and how much is merely a result of the fact that the band members, themselves, have voiced their disapproval of it). Overall, MCR is far more anal when it comes to protecting their privacy than Green Day is...and their fan communities are often reflective of this. A lot of places will give you a warning for even *mentioning* their wives and children, in any context. And likewise with fanfic. Trust me, you guys don't know how easy you have it here. Or he just went up to his kids and said "Boys I want to make us look even more amazing and adorable. It's gonna be hard to top Rocky . . . . . . . FAMILY BAND CORNY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Shit....you're right. Why isn't the dog in the band?? Well, it's a regular turntable, it just has a port for a USB cable, so you can transfer your records to mp3s if you so desire. Slightly below "famine" and "war" on the list of modern injustices is "people who buy limited edition vinyls who don't own a turntable." Haha! The thing about that is people just see them as collectibles now. I remember when I first asked for a turntable for Christmas the one year, my dad was like "What do you want that for?" And I said "Because I want to be able to play records." And he was like "You're not supposed to play them, they could get ruined and then they're not worth anything."

You should never take anything there seriously, unless the poster can provide you with a source. Adrienne is not on any PHGP songs. The girl who sings on On The Ave is named Lauren.

It's like when Billie said that "Hey Soul Sister" by Train sounds like it should be in a tampon commercial. I can hear it either way... she's got that voice.

It's their friend Lauren, I think her name is... she sang the song at the last PHGP show at Gilman. By the way... still one of the best shows I've ever, ever, ever, been to.

Brigister Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 There's this weird cycle that happens in threads like this. Most people are pretty level-headed about their opinions, a few people fan-girl, then a few try to overcorrect the few fangirls by over-criticizing the topic at hand while mocking some other members, then a few more people will speak up to make sure their opinions don't fall too far to one side and we see a lot of comments with qualifiers ("I like it, but I don't think it's the best thing ever!"), then everyone kind of hates each other and aren't sure what they should post so no one gets upset. Then, in the end of this cycle, you have Andres that makes everyone just shut their fucking vaginas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
