if I disregard my preconceptions of DT, _______ is actually a good song!

[erwinrafael]

ANNA LEE. I fell in love with this song only last year when I listened to it willfully removing preconceptions of what DT music sounds like. Amazing, along the lines of Beth and I'll Never Cry.

I'll Never Cry.

Anytime Alice Cooper is referenced on DTF it is a good thing!

I swear, you must be the world's biggest Alice Cooper fan.  I don't know anyone else that even likes him.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

I don't know that there's any DT song that I dislike because it "doesn't sound like DT".

[TheCountOfNYC]

I like all of their songs, but one that I struggle through at times because it doesn't sound like them is The Dark Eternal Night.

I wouldn't say that I ever dislike DT songs for not sounding like DT.

But I would say that there are a lot of middle-range DT songs that I gloss over in favor of the best songs, that are still really good songs. I just forget that when DT has so many better songs.

As an illustrating example, I like Never Enough about as much as I like Stockholm Syndrome, but the former is a middle-range song for DT, whereas the latter is one of my favorite Muse songs.

Yeah, pretty much this. There are only a couple DT songs I really don't like, but the bottom couple dozen others obviously don't get much play given how much more I like the rest of the discography. But if, say, AROP or IWBY came on the radio, I'd enjoy them more than most other songs that happen to come on.

I think Just Let Me Breathe fits into this category pretty well.

Pretty much since I heard it for the first time, I've always considered it to be in the lowest tier of DT songs. And I still think this is justified - for a DT song, there's nothing at all special about it.

HOWEVER, when listened to it purely on it's own merits, as if it were by any other band - something about it just kicks so much ass.

It's been a staple in my workout playlist for a good 5-6 years. Very few songs get me pumped the way this one does... especially the version from Live Scenes.

I like Alice Cooper.  Enough to know to the correct title of the song is "I Never Cry".

(sorry)

Ditto. I always just judge music for what it is, not what I think it should be

[1neeto]

Had a listen to two songs I can't stand; Prophets Of War, and I Walk Beside You. Yep I could live the rest of my life just fine if I didn't hear those atrocities again.

[Mosh]

I find that I more often dislike a song cause it sounds too much like DT. i.e. it uses a formula that's too predictable and somewhat forced.
