Re: Rate the Riff
Eh, it's okay. Not great, but okay - maybe it will grow on me. My first impression is that I like the lyrics themselves (except for the unnecessary f-bomb), but I don't like the flow / rhythm of the lyrics (while others might be fine with the flow, it just doesn't do anything for me). I'm good with downers / depressing songs, for example, I really dig Gravedigger and Digging a Ditch (haha, just noticed all the digs in that sentence), but this one isn't doing it for me. Musically, there are some aspects that are decent, like the violin and flute/horn parts, but the guitar sounds awful (sounds like I'm listening to a classic rock station). The chorus is okay, but not great. Just my opinion.
As it is, I'd rate it a 4 out of 10. If you completely removed Tim from it, I'd maybe bump it up to a 6.
