As someone who only knew Barenaked Ladies from One Week, Wrap Your Arms Around Me was... not that. One thing that I can say about my own music taste is that I tend not to be interested in acoustic guitar music (especially in songs where it's the only instrument). So yeah, this one didn't enthuse me. I perked up a bit when the instrumental started in the last 1/3 of the song.

was enjoyable, but not memorable, if that makes sense? I liked listening to it, but it didn't stick with me once the song finished. If this topic were a VGMC-styled voting contest, this is a song that I'd vote over Wrap Your Arms Around Me in round 1, and then forget that I'd ever heard it by the time I relistened to it in round 2.

Frou-frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires might be a "need to be in the right mood" type of song... I'm struggling to come up with words to describe it. I don't have anything negative to say, but I also don't have anything positive. I can barely think of anything neutral. In one ear and out the other (note that this is not my lowest ranking that I can give a song).

By the genre description of Djesse Vol. 3, it sounded like something that I have little experience with. I guess by that standard, In My Bones was a surprise, and I liked it. I like the "effects" throughout the song. Almost sounds like some electronic touches, but it wouldn't be classified as an "electronic" song. (Oh, I guess you kind of said the same thing in your writeup.)

I also listened to American Idiot for that topic. I knew a bunch of GD songs from the radio, but I always felt like I missed a "connection" with them that a lot of other users have, based on the way that people talk about them. Maybe because I didn't listen to them when they were newer or when I was younger? Not sure. They're pretty much just radio music to me. I like Holiday better than Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

An unplugged album, well, see my comment about acoustic music above. After listening to Waging a War (Acoustic Version), I had to listen to the original to see what type of music it originally was. Yeah, I'd prefer that version because the instrumentation gives me something else to focus on instead of the lyrics. I'm not a lyrics person, so any song that uses minimal other sounds in order to force you to listen to the lyrics is not gonna work for me.
