why do you think best of me is so artistic? i mean i absolutly love the song, i just want to see why you think its artistic, musically i mean, not lyrically.

hmmm

not quite sure about what underrated and overrated but ill take a guess

well i think vertually the whole half hour of power album is underrated. it was probably there most (maybe)artistic album, even if it was experimental. Also noots is WAY underrated, that song is absolutly incredible. and thanks for nothing is a bit underrated. i really like that song... i like all of their songs... haha.

its hard to say whats overrated. all of them seem really good, but i guess nothing on my back is a little overrated.

yeah noots and no aplogies are two others that are underrated
and best of me is artistic in my opinion because its expresses a some what insecure side and frustration at the same time. The drums are soft yet percise. The acoustic goes great with the bass. The backing vocals are like another instrument. The harmonies are sincere and subtle. The low piano "bang" notes add depth. The transition from verse to chorus is bold, yet smooth. The bridge guitar almost seems lyrical in a way. and the ending is so real and raw emotionally. The song just gives me goosebumps..lol

Overrated - Walking Disaster
Underrated - Take a Look at Yourself (even though it was a bonus track, its one of my favorite songs from them, its so punk and simple, yet genius)

:agreed: :agreed: :agreed: :agreed: :agreed: !!!!!!!!!

I don't know why so many people hate Slipping Away. I personally think it's incredible. At times it makes me cry, but I don't know why xD

Over-rated:
-With Me (for the love of goddddd! don't get me started on this one)
-Pieces (I like the song but... it gets boring!!)

Under-rated:
-SLIPPING AWAY!!!
-I agree with Heather about Best of Me, it's amazing! I think most of the soft, slow songs are under-rated, like Look At Me for example. I think it's really cute.
-Hooch, love the variety in the song, I always feel like it's a tornado, first comes destruction and anger (fast bit), then the end of the tornado's the slow bit.

Angels With Dirty Faces is one hell of a sexy song. One of my favorite songs from the Sums =P It's a bit under-rated too, I mean I LOVE the beginning (the guitar, and his voice is really good there...) yeah. And the drums is nicely used in that song.
