Subject of the Kill

The final version.

Yesterday I posted a demo version of the song Subject of the Kill. This is what it ended up sounding like after the band had our way with it.

(Get Flash to see the track player.)

I like it! It sounds a bit like a mix between Jimmy Eat World and some of the newer US pop-rock bands. Take that either way you like, but know I mean it to mean that I thought this was a good blending of new and old. Consider thyself playlisted!

Lot's of energy! Thanks for sharing this and the previous demo. There's a breakdown in this version before the 3 minute mark that I'm not sure works to the song's advantage. It kind of slows the momentum with no real pay-off. Full disclosure: I only know what I like.

i have to admit that i prefer the original version. like i would listen to that version and maybe put it on a cd and i would avoid this version like the plague.

but that's me. me, of questionable taste.

It's really cool what you did, posting the two versions, and yeah, the song changed a lot. This is brimming with ideas and a lot of little cool details, but I too like the demo better. This one sounds more like something you'd hear on the radio or in Mtv (if they still play music) if that helps.
