![]() With solid instrumentation, catchy melodies, and memorable lyrics, Ordinary World stands out as one of the most interesting pop records from 2006. The last track, "Music Makes Me Wanna Die", features a coda of his viola melodies, as if you were listening an abridged version of the album in a way. He is very good at what he does, making viola melodies that will make you want to listen to each track just to hear his parts. However, one of the best features throughout the album would have to be Eric Summer's viola. The biggest flaw with this record, however, is the fact that it's 80 minutes long, making it a real drag to listen to all the way. The sleepy "Ordinary World", the bored "One Hundred Locks", and the forgettable "The Old Ennui" are some to mention here. There are many bland tracks scattered throughout the record. But, for every enjoyable track, there's a very uninteresting one. The album is chuck full of catchy songs about despair and depression, making this one of the most memorable records of 2006. The chorus "All the people on the street/I hate you all!/All the people I don't know/I hate you all!" is near impossible not to sing along to. Take "I Hate Everyone" for example, It has the basic, but memorable, 4 chord pop layout with the addition of beautifully uplifting viola, but the song itself describes the daily life of a frustrated, mean-spirited man whose almost never happy. Taking influences from bands like The Beatles and Weezer, Mike writes some of the catchiest melodies imaginable, only to combine them with some of the bleakest lyrics ever made. Ordinary World combines elements of indie rock, pop-punk, and, to an extent, folk. In 2006, Get Set Go released their second LP, Ordinary World. By 2005, however, Mike kicked his addiction, got a day job, and "rebooted" the Get Set Go project, recruiting as many musicians as possible, including violist Eric Summer. Eventually, Mike became very depressed, poor, and lonely, resulting in a heroin addiction. Modo and Amy left the band to work on other projects and such, leaving Mike TV all alone. In 2003, the trio released their debut record So You've Ruined Your Life on TSR Records with very little fanphair. Mike TV knows this for a fact, in 2002 he formed a little band called Get Set Go in LA with two of his friends from high school: Bassist Dr. Infact, it's really a matter of pure luck, there's no way for you to securely become a multi-millionaire rock star. I would surely suggest it for the people with low expectation, but not a must see film.Review Summary: With solid instrumentation, catchy melodies, and memorable lyrics, Ordinary World stands out as one of the most interesting pop records from 2006.īeing a successful musician is not an easy task. That's what you have to understand if you are not sure about giving it a try. It could not be as good as I'm saying to you, but definitely not a bad flick. It was a much better film than the others saying. I think I liked the narrative, but too simple. It is a one day tale, that follows on the birthday of a married ex musician struggling with his life. ![]() The rest of the casting was good as well. At first I thought it was Aaron Paul, then his brother, though, he was good in the role. I don't know who is this guy in the lead, but came to know he's a musician who played one this film as well. It is a decent comedy-drama and much better than many mainstream films from these days. I'm not saying it is a fresh story, but a refreshed minor league film. After avoiding the so called major clichés, this is how a film looks like. Not to repeat the same old story with different cast. It is a decent A struggling ex musician on his birthday.
