You could be wrong too Jack...
This sounds like a band, A REAL BAND, of REAL MUSICIANS.
It has nothing to do with genre or its cultural background either as in my time I've worked on everything from classical to southern soul, merseybeat to "new" country, big band swing to indie-rock, disco to modern jazz. So I haven't got even what you'd call eclectic taste, but what I actually find pleasing musically is work that has obviously had time and effort invested in it. It doesn't even need to have great "artistic value" because even the simplest of songs can be performed and produced well and have the desired effect on the listener. But then simple is the hardest thing to do and takes most experience to know when its right.
The Crank song just has a feeling of being "genuine" about it. It stands up as a pretty well written song both lyrically and musically in my book. The arrangement has been thought about in terms of musicality with changes in both texture and meter and production-wise at least it sounds like a band all playing together in the same room (ok maybe big-ass old hall actually) on the same day and there aren't any glaring big holes in the sound. Well not on these little tiny speakers anyway. OK there's a few things about it I personally would want to change if I were producing for the band, but in comparison to the Roger Burgess track this is on a completely different planet.

Well it sounds real good if your some cooperate guy that usually sells fries and burgers and now want to sell NHRA style racing. It's just as fake as most the crap the NHRA tries to dole out to the hardcore fans to attract channel surfers. I liked the Saliva "Ladies and Gentleman" better, could do without a "theme" song all together it just comes across as LAME. But hey, anybody with a pirated copy of "pro tools" can be a singing star now. Got to go, have to fire up the kids "guitar hero" and write the NHRA's next big song....."a 1000 feet of luxury boxes and 5 feet of general admission stands for the racers that foot the bill"...thats just the working title, the suits in Glendora will come up with something more snappy.
