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

**The Flying Mouse** · 09 Jan 2003, 19:59

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

Hey White

you must have Bananas in your ears, this song is dreadfull. i think Mercenaries is better than this one

it doesn't sound Meat it doesn't sound like Rock it doesn't sound at all
3,5/10

Sabine · 18 May 2003, 19:45

This is a very good song, I like the Video very much.

Quigmo · 17 Sep 2003, 09:37

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

A Slice Of English · 24 Nov 2003, 20:40

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

LostSoul · 30 Dec 2003, 01:13

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)

BadAttitude · 30 Dec 2003, 01:25

Well I guess I am just differnet but I do really like this album, when I first listened to it I said "wow" because it was so different then Bat but I do really like it.

I give this song a:
8/10

rockfenris2005 · 31 Dec 2003, 09:43

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)

Tim · 31 Dec 2003, 19:36

Still, it is a very good song. To put up the avarage score, i vote again, 8/10.

*AndyK* · 31 Dec 2003, 20:02

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.

RSG · 19 Mar 2004, 21:50

9\10, I like the song, some great vocals! The music is good for the kind of music it is. I like how he ends it

I got to save you from yourself
i got a stop ya from hurtin someone else!

there is a lot of synthesizer, but i don't mind it too much.

**RadioMaster** · 08 Jul 2006, 10:43

Dont like it.
That´s not Meat.
Who wrote it? Frank Farian? OK, that´s the cause of this thing.

The only thing I like is the video, well at least a bit.
I like this psycho style thing
