Song Allison would like most: Maroon 5’s Sunday Morning (though she’s a fan of Jellyfish and Falkner, too).
Cheesiest song: Stratovarius’ Mother Gaia, which might be one of the cheesiest songs I’ve ever heard, but damn is it catchy. Why did I buy this album?
Song that should be good but isn’t really: Falkner’s Moving Up. Actually, the whole Bliss Descending EP is tepid. I hope the full length captures the same intensity as his previous efforts.
Coolest song with a purposely mispelled word: Emperor, of course. Also, I need to use “ensorcelled” more in everyday conversation.
