Song Review, “Cum on Feel the Noize” by Slade




Song Review, “Cum on Feel the Noize” by Slade

It’s something of a one track mind.  So much monotone exists throughout the song that I’m wondering if Slade has much knowledge on music.  We can play instruments and give out different notes, but sometimes we forget to actually have the differences between musical notes.  A musical note is something of a button you have on your instrument and time and space have impact on how such a form of input makes its presence known, so, as I’m listening to this loud and obnoxious song, I’m wondering if Slade actually has rhythm in it.  There’s no up and down.  All the song is is just one long, strong line.  Whereas the Hulk can have lots of different moves and sounds mixed in all together, Slade is about as variational on this song as a bad Terminix location in Ventura.  Options hardly get shown in Slade’s approach on “Cum on Feel the Noize”.  Noise itself isn’t riddled with enough complexity to complete its originality on this song.  At best, it’s storytelling; at worst, it’s a boring racket.  But it’s not like a singer can just put in a story in such a boring tune until we’re ready to drop.  Honestly, I’m dying here!  Not in laughter though.  Instruments are being touched and fail at being played here.  Everything to Slade here is just one loud, obnoxious bang.  This song is a piece of communication which can cause some people to avoid music all together.  “Evil mind”… right.  Maybe from a guy playing nothing but one overall sound we may assume he’s delusional.  Look, to play one sound is not crazy, so why not give more sounds on the sound?  Besides all the sounds there’s still one overall sound on this song and it goes on and on no matter how many times I put the song on repeat.  Slade here is about as creative as a plain bagel.  Really.  I’m pretty disappointed.  For there to be so much energy and movement in the music video yet so much stillness and vacuum on my album for this song… it’s just rather tragic, don’t you think?  The work of art is in a loop even on my first listening.  Wow, that’s rough.  However we approach “Cum on Feel the Noize” depends on mood for sure; with enough courage and spirit, even a stupid person can get an experience like no other when nothing else can be thought of.  To listen to this song is like hearing a cliche for the first time: everything rings, everything is pulled off, and then you’re stuck in the same shoes you’ve always been in when you’re so isolated, so alone and can hardly afford to go to a concert as often as Slade did.  Go ahead Slade.  Just dance in that music video and show me that you could’ve done more for the song, that you could’ve actually moved your hands to create variation although my song here is completely dull and monotonous.  Sure!  I might as well eat an apple and have nothing.
