SONGS THAT CAN JUST GO AWAY, part IX



"What's So Bad About Feeling Good?" by Ben Lee

This song bugs me because of the phony crowd chanting that happens at around the 2.50 mark. Maybe in a live recording that might be okay, but in a studio recording? It sounds so ridiculously contrived. It's like scripted spontaneity or committee-approved fun...it's just wrong.

And it's not the only one. "Give You Hell" by All American Rejects is another example (about the 2.35 mark). I'm sure you can think of others...
