I personally hate all the songs made by Laurie except "The Game" and the recent "Roses Are Red"; I'm quite tolerant with the typical female eurobeat style, but her style just isn't my cup of tea no matter how many times I can listen to her earlier songs. Yes, I also hate the much loved "Hey Guy" that everybody seems to praise. I personally don't see what's great about it (ironically, I'm listening to it now); the song irritates me to no end, but each to their own I say.
Ditz: You're complaining about how Bombers are "changing styles" every other song, yet you contradict yourself in your overview of Laurie's song, stating that it's "boring and
too generic." Shouldn't you acknowledge the fact that the alias
is at least offering a bit of flavour? Bombers are, afterall, an experimental alias that had no solid principle they sanctioned with their songs from the very start with Superball and Hi Hi Mazinga, as you can't compare those two songs at all in terms of their individual and distinct style. That should be pretty evident by now, with all of the surprising releases and whatnot. I don't think Laurie's song is
that generic as opposed to Ken Martin - Fireball (to some degree). Even then, I still like the song, even though it doesn't suit the original Ken Martin style that I used to like a lot (don't get me started on Alamo!)
Drnrg: Mr. Frankenstein just lacked the final punch that Saifam usually invests towards their songs. I'll mention that the only reason I listen to their songs in the first place is because of the action-packed and vigorous style that they offer us, and I felt that the song didn't offer quite that. My opinion about it isn't as brutally honest as some other people's, so be thankful for that.
To be specific, I didn't really like the chorus, as it sounded a bit too dull, and in the end, it just irritated me a slight bit. The only part I liked about the song was the introduction... Minus the strange vocals during that part of the song, which makes me laugh. I don't know what it was, but it was just missing something pretty major that made me not like it.
Overall, I love Mauro Farina's vocals. That was at least one nice part about the song and every song he sings, haha.
Now, here's a little rant for those who complain about songs becoming 'too generic' or 'sounding like something else':
Let's imagine for a second that the first songs that Saifam released were, in fact, the following:
- Ken Martin - Fireball
- Bombers - Mr. Frankenstein (The Boom Boom Mix)
- Laurie - Roses Are Red (Eurobeat Mix)
- Lupin - Hey Baby Tonight (Oh Oh Oh Mix)
These four songs are often classed as very generic by a lot of fans of Saifam eurobeat, yet this is the
only reason that many people give for hating these songs. What if these four songs were the
only eurobeat-styled songs that Saifam released? Upon hearing them for the first time, chances are, you'd love them to death. It's quite wrong to class a song as generic especially if it's from a particular label. I'll go into more detail.
Lupin - Black UFO (a song that quite a lot of people regard as the best Saifam song made in recent years) obviously would not fall under a style that SCP or TIME would typically release. So now I have a question for you:
Are you going to love or hate Black UFO more because it might have been released under TIME instead of Saifam? I can actually name a lot of people that would change their opinion of the song if it was released under a different label instead of Saifam, for better or worse, despite all of these labels producing songs of the same genre that Black UFO belongs to. Really, this is actually quite a common exposition that people abide by when it comes to eurobeat, and it kind of puzzles me as I have no idea why people tend to make such generalisations with music. This goes for both types of people that really love or really loathe particular labels; you should be liking what
you enjoy listening to, not if it's from a particlar label or artist, all the same.
Anyone that knows my particular taste in eurobeat well enough would know that I feel nobody could match Clara Moroni when it comes to creating tasteless and "generic" songs over and over; however, simply because I may regard a lot of her songs as generic does not mean I hate all of the songs she makes. Stop Teasing My Heart sounds a bit like some of her past songs under Newfield, but I still really love it for some reason. I also really like Happy Phantom, Chemical Love, and Yesterday; all of these songs work for me. I always at least try to give some other type of reasoning when classifying a song of hers as generic if I really loathe it, as you should too.
Eurobeat is all about using the same formula over and over, just with different beats and styles used. This, however, does not mean that eurobeat is a generic fest simply because I can predict what's to expect in most of the new SEB songs that I might listen to. This is simply what I enjoy listening to, and that reason alone.
Face it, just about every song released under the genre sounds exactly like something else one way or another, regardless if the song in question mimics a particular beat or melody from a genre
outside of eurobeat. Many people adore Cherry's "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)", yet you all may as well class it as "generic", and therefore, hate it, since it's a blatant copy of another song. I could give many more examples of songs that a lot of people really like that sounds exactly like something else, yet these people complain about certain labels becoming "too generic", but I've spent enough time on this post, so I'll stop here.
You all get the point that I'm trying to make, I hope.
In conclusion, you guys should enjoy or at least appreciate what you get... And if you well and truly hate a song, at least give a reason that is not "because it sounds like something else" or "typical style from [label]" If you strictly followed this line of reasoning, you'd end up hating almost every single eurobeat song.
Well, you really explained yourself. I agree with the fact that most fans are bias to certain labels, Myself included, but it also depends with the labels you grew up with. I'm in my 30's, so basically I grew up with TIME,ASIA,FLEA and ABeatC and a few minor labels like High Energy, Stil Novo and Saifam Sub-labels. With that in mind producers like Newfield,Farina ,Moroni,Caria,Dall Ora,Accantino,Pasquinni are my favs, therefore becoming a little bias to thier works. Also making it literally impossible to hate songs produced by TIME,Saifam,or HRG Attack. These just sound incredibly good everytime. The Vocals, the style and even the speed I got used to
