deryks melodies

first off i love the new album. the music on it is great, and the lyrics are great. i think deryk could be so much better of a song writer if he would write better melodies. like i said, the lyrics he writes are sweet, but it seems like he repeats his melodies way to much throughout the album. i think that if he would use a few different/better ones, the album would be even more amazing. anyone agree?

yeah, i noticed that he used the same melody in about 3 or 4 songs.
its kind of annoying but you get used to it

i think there fine. the thing is, the recycled melodies fit good into their songs (e.g. march of the dogs, walking disaster)

yeah it sounds the same in some of the songs like blink 182 melodies. In there previous albums they had variety on there melodies

the piano in the end of WITH ME is the same in the following song. but i guess it is suppost to be...becuz the piano in the end is a kinda the intro to the following song...
hmm...maybe he does use the same melodies, but i dont really care about it. it sounds great and i really love the album the way it is.

know what i think about this album? everything is based around a B chord, like almost every song is in the key of B and they are always playing second fret on A string (a B note) or 14th on A (also a B) if you listen, you'll see

arent most songs play in the key of B though? i leanred that whole transposition thing in music class this year, but never thought it would come in handy

learn how to spell "Derycks" name first.

^Haha.

Anyway, repetition has nothing to do with the quality of the melody. The melody that gets repeated, what, 3 or 4 times in the whole album, is quite good.

The songs sound awesome, that's all that matters to me.

i was just playin the album on guitar and nearly every song was based around b on 2nd string 2nd fret. but its not just this album he does it in. alot of their other songs are the same.
