Flobots - Handlebars

[Squark]

I don't like it

 

[Matteysan]

Got the album yesterday, Pretty decent I must say Rise is pretty cool

 

[bailey12856]

Just got hold of the album, and really enjoying it. Took me a while to warm to Handlebars song mind.

 

[Nitefly]

Did anyone else think it was Eminem when they first heard it?

Yep the guys voice sounds very similar.

What? No it doesn't, not in the slightest. The rhyme scheme sounds a bit like Eminem , nothing more. It sounds more like the guy from Linkin Park than anything.

Personally I'm undecided. Theres something good about it but its not as good as it could be.

Love this tune. Not really fond of the rest of the album though.

 

[Sutters]

I quite like the fight with tools track, handlebars is great, but most people I know don't like it.

People not into hiphop seem to like it most.

 

[Gilly]

Is this the 'I can ride my bike with no handlebars' tune?

If so it is awful. Woefully bad. Worst thing this year. Like a cross between Nizlopi and The Streets with far less talent.

Did you listen to the lyrics?

 

[Gilly]

Did you listen to the lyrics?

Yup.

 

[CliffyBiro]

Yup.

I thought both the song and video have a great meaning to them and one that stands for a lot today.

 

[firthy15]

I hate it, sounds the same as everything else out there and its totally overplayed.

I cannot think of anyone these sound similar to, what a load of tosh.

Maybe Rage Against The Machine or, in a round about sort of way, Gym Class Heroes.

Yes ive been telling people saying they are a more "calm" version of rage, less guitar and bass excellence more singing and other instruments like trumpets etc. Also more tempo changes.

I haven't seen the video. The lyrics might be meaningful to them but don't mean much when you read through them, in addition the music/rhythm is crap.

You really need to see the vid to fully understand the lyrics.

It does help. I don't think your going to have any chance convincing gilly .

Heard the song months ago from a contact in America. Bought the album.

They certainly have something to say, I find it interesting.

The beats are great, bass lines fat, interesting strings and brass. Lyrics can be intriguing.

An interesting album. I like it.
