| Is there something that you just cannot stand in a song ? For me, it's REPETITION ! I despise a song that just keeps singing or doing the same thing over and over. Repeating something up to 3 times is ok, but beyond that will make me skip it and never listen to it again. What makes you hit the "skip" button ? | |

| Poor production. No matter how great a song is if it has muddy production or other production problems (learn how to use de-essing people!) then I simply can't listen to it. | |

| Yes, too much repetition is a no no in my book. Also length of songs can get on my nerves a bit. Yeah, it's great to have a good song, but don't make it last 15 minutes. 6 is long enough, just try and keep it between 3 and 6 and it'll be alot better.

| A shrill vocal tone will turn me off quickly no matter how good a song is...case in point, Guns N Roses... |

Agreed!!!! Off key falsettos will make me hit that skip, too. If you can't hit the note, find another that will fit and sing that. _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. https://christianhardmusic.niceboard.com/ | |

| Got another one: I don't like TALKING in songs... it ruins an otherwise good song. Bands should save talking for a separate track and not in a good song. | |

| Well, unless the whole song is spoken word. Casting Crowns, on their latest CD, has several places where they are speaking during a song that doesn't need what is added. It actually takes away from the song and probably hurts their chances of those songs ever becoming radio singles. _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. https://christianhardmusic.niceboard.com/ | |

| There are several that bug me - One example is Audio A's song Underdog. I think that song rocks, but then they throw in this preacher guy talking for a long time. I like what he says, but it interupts the song as far as I'm concerned. So I loaded the song in my GoldWave program and cut and mixed the song together without him. Came out great, you'd never know the song was cut. | |

| Poor production I agree with, though that's usually not just a "song" issue, but rather an entire album. What I hate about a song? TIME CHANGES! I like a driving beat with a consistent time. When songs are constantly changing their time from slow to fast, fast to slow...it drives me nuts! | |

| Most of the things you guys (and gal) have mentioned I also find rather bothersome. Except production, unless it is really bad, it does not bother me too much. Really sharp snare drum sounds are also irksome. Another thing that really peeves me is a good hard rock/metal song that is interupted by a bridge/breakdown section full of rapping (oh man I hate that). You don't see too much of it nowadays but there was way too much of it in the 90's. _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."

This is exactly what is really bringing down the new Sixx A.M. cd. Although it is selling very well it's probably not going to get as much radio play as it deserves because of all the spoken parts. | |

You must have never liked the Beatles then huh ? songs like Band on the run (wings), Uncle Albert, Live and let die, etc all had wicked time changes... you'd swear there were like 3 or 4 different songs melded into one | |

| An other thing I don't like is if a band made a reprise song. Reprise songs are songs played in an other rhyrthm and I don't like those reprise songs. No need to play a song twice on one album.
I can't stand long songs too. Sometimes I think is this a new song or is it still the same song. | |

This bothers me also, to use a non-Christian song, for example, John Cougar Melancamp's (back-in-the-day, in Hoosier-Land he was Johnny Cougar) "Jack and Diane", where it changes tempo to the " so let rock , let it roll..." a very good song up until that, which Kills the song. I don't mind key changes (except that it is harder to learn to play ), the Beach Boys made a career out of it... I guess when it feels like it is another song crammed into the song that I was enjoying, then, it bothers me. | |

Weren't "Band on the Run" and "Live and Let Die" both "Wings" songs? But definately most of the Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road albums were like that (if I remember correctly). _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."

| I really dislike music with loads of samples strewn througout. An exellent example of this is The Sacrificed. Great power metal with all of these horrible samples in the middle of the songs. Incredibly annoying | |

Oh yes, the Goliath "The Gate" album is like that as well. They have all these segments of preacher rants, but at least they are at the ends of the song so you can skip them. But it is still a pain. _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."

| Filler songs. Yes, I really dislike them. Why? Because they are filler material and filler material is sub-par music put on an album. It should be illegal. lol | |
