42 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I had already fell in love with the Muffins when I first heard Ska Buffet, but after listening to this, I suppose you can say that I'm ( •_•) ...( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) ska'd for life now. This is seriously an amazing song and definitely one of my favorites off of Maverick Rising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexstyle Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I maintain with a passion that ska should never have died the death it did back in the early '00s. Thanks to this song, I'm sure the genre still has some life left in it--I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpable Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I really wish the playing was a little tighter cause I feel like everything else is clicking. Great writing, and pretty much nailed the 90's ska vocal. Good stuff guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperiorX Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Yeah awesome stuff here! I love the live brass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONKERS Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I remember the first time I heard this. My reaction was "HOLY SHIT!". Because it just sounded so cool. True, final mix is overcompressed with some ducking and whatnot. Loudness isn't an issue for me. But it's a great song. Whether the listener likes vocals or not.

Crulex Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 First came one of my top three OCR tunes from last year in Ska Buffet, and now the OCR Plaid Muffins land another hit with this track, which I gotta say, is a pretty cool take on one of my favorite MMX tunes. I'm pleased with how well the source tune lends itself to this style. The lyrics are pretty catchy, especially the last paragraph, and it was really nailed here. Love the slow down and the sound of the instruments overall. I'll be playing this over and over for a long time now and I can't wait to hear more hot tunes from the Muffins in the future.

Torzelan Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Definitely one of my absolute favorites on the album despite not being a genre I really ever listen to, love the lyrics and vocal performances too. Singing it (especially the calm part) to myself all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 VOCAL HAET! I heard this one throughout its production, and I can vouch that everyone worked their asses off on it. Also, PrototypeRaptor is a much better singer than he gives himself credit for. Killer stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconiator Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Was the inclusion of the Peter Gunn theme intentional? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emunator Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I personally love this intolerable piece of noise Keep it up guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPhantom Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 This wasn't something that appealed to me at first. The instruments sound kind of messy to me. After a few listens though, it grew on me, and is now probably my favorite of Maverick Rising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychowolf Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I loved ska buffet and as soon as i saw the name on the trailer i got really cyked for this song. When i first heard i was first disappointed it wasn't LuIzA on vocals again (personally prefer female vocals) but then got over that quick with how great the song turned out anyway. Good work guys hope to see the plaid muffins return for more songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardonis Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Ska was the wrong direction for this song, fast hardcore rock that doesn't go so far as to be metal punk or screamo is how it should of gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korps de Krieg Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 This song pretty much blew my mind the first time I gave it a listen through. Somewhere approaching the triple digits on playthroughs, it hasn't changed in my esteem. The instrumental play could be a little cleaner, but for how awesome a job these guys did and how much energy went into their performance, I can hardly complain. They took an ultra-repetitive track from my childhood, strapped it with brass and aggressive guitar and blew me out of the water with it. I definitely dug the approach taken with the vocal line, making Armored Armadillo sound bitter and resentful, but ultimately accepting of his lot in life. It added a lot of character to what was before just a boss fight and a shiny new gun. I'll admit, without the lyrics in front of me some spots were a little hard to understand (and were before with Ska Buffet, but not important), but the overall feel and execution was spot on. This was a piece with awesome pacing, high energy even in the mellow sections, and mind numbingly nostalgic to mine ears. Besides my few little hangups, I have nothing but praise for this extremely well done arrangement. Stay classy Plaid Muffins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level 99 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 On behalf of the Muffins, I want to thank everyone for their comments and feedback! We will indeed be staying classy. Was the inclusion of the Peter Gunn theme intentional? If you listen to the source, its not the Peter Gunn theme, but rather the way the riff works within the original track. I can understand you hearing a similarity though. Ska was the wrong direction for this song, fast hardcore rock that doesn't go so far as to be metal punk or screamo is how it should of gone. wut? That wasn't even a sentence that I could understand. But if you have an aversion to ska, that's a personal problem. Us plaid muffins? We're ska, through and through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 The Plaid Muffins blew this one out of the water - the amount of effort poured into this track really shows through with how massive the song feels. The track ran into mixing issues, but it's hard not to when there's so much going on. The ska style fits this source like a glove here, and the vocals are a treat on top of it. This is some great stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadieface Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 This song is fantastic! This is one of my favorite tracks from the game and they did a seamless job taking it to the next level. Love it guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansdown Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 It's mixes like these that make me wish karaoke versions were released. I'd love to do an awful cover of this! XD A perfect evolution from the already jazzy source track. Definitely made for a marvelous surprise in the awesome Maverick Rising album. Unique -- and squishable! :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyril the Wolf Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Just listened to this for the first time in a while today. Damn. All the kudos to the team of musicians who brought this together. I just can't believe how sexy everything worked together because at the time I was very negative about my playing in it. Now I sit, after having not played sax in a few months, thinking "How in the hell did this work" Props to Prototype Raptor who definitely did some wizardry on at least my part, but dang guys. Well done, from the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Doom Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 After I got enough of the Muffins' Buffet, I decided to listen to this one without any doubt. And... I wasn't disappointed at all. Sadly, there're only few ska mixes here, on OCR. I can compare listening to this mix with playing Katamari Damacy There's so many instruments playing: vivd & very emotive brass, brutal guitar, pounding drums. PR's vocals are fitiing for this song. The break at 1:52 is what makes me love this mega-collab with all my love. More muffins!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
