Default 37. Getting Away With Murder

This is the START OUT OF HELL & ARRIVE TO HEAVEN topic.
Let's Go to Rock 'n' Roll!!!!!!

Getting Away With Murder (6)

It's a few better than Mercenaries. A typical '80's pop song. The story shallow but I like the '80 era.
It's not more a simple song...

My score: 6



Average: 5.69 (45.5/8 )

I don't think it is a good song. It hasn't a good melody and also strange lyrics.

My score: 4,5

I guess for Meat the song means a lot. I've heard once, Meat is a Hitchcock fan. And "Getting Away With Murder", especially the video, is Hitchcock stylish. I saw Meat describing how difficult it was to get the blood down the drain in the Psycho scene. It wasn't so easy to realize it, that it looks real.

7/10

This is a good song,but I think there is too much sythersiser.
I think the lyrics are quite good,it's just a shame that Meat didn't have much to do with the post production.
6/10 Still gets away with it.

Strange, everyone seems to dislike this album. I think it is a great album. This also, great song! Nothing wrong with it.

I will give it an 8/10

This song is just plain wrong! Ugly.
Even at that the voice saves it a little.
3/10

Its certainly a different style but this was the 80's and remember that style was different back then. It might not be an "Everlast" song but damn me if I'm not a fan of 80's music!

7.5/10 from me

It doesn't sound 80's... it sounds "let's make a remix-board-studio album... oops... we forgot the voice... who do we have in our catalogue?... let's hire the big voice guy!"

What they didn't expect was that Meat would save a lot of songs on it!

3/10 (7/10 for Meat)

I don't like this album. DOn't like "Midnight" either. Don't like 'Welcome to the Neighbourhood". This song (besides MASCULINE) is the worst on the album. 2/10 (and that's immensely generous)

It's one of the better songs on BBIS I reckon, slightly biographical, completely ruined by the post production - as pretty much every song was on the album, would love to get my hands on the master tapes one day and a have a crack at making it the album it should have been!

7/10 for potential

4/10 for the fact it failed to reach that potential.
