I had never heard of it either so i went over to youtube to get a quick take on it.....
I actually like it quite a bit however there will be enough haters because the singer kind of sounds like Chad Kroeger. It actually reminds me of Nickelback when people actually would freely admit to liking them.

I'm not getting a Nickelback vibe from them at all. Much more of a Tantric meets The Veer Union sound, which to me is a welcome addition to active rock radio even if they're not remotely innovative in the least.

I would never say someone's opinion is inferior to mine.

(typed normally) got to be such an obnoxiously overused word on Pulse that it was blacklisted and substituted with a knowingly ridiculous, overlong description.

That is really a dumb filter. Not the dumbest I've seen, but pretty dumb nevertheless.

Yeah, this song is really nothing special. I put it on a on one of my latest mixes, and have listened to it at least five times, but don't remember a damn thing about it. Just that it's mediocre.

I would like nothing more than to acknowledge the higher average IQ of posters in this forum relative to others, but we can't censor words by specific forum and so we have to keep the "censor" in place.

I'm starting to like this song I like it, but I'm quite suprised by how well it's done. Much better debut songs from these similar sounding bands have stalled abruptly in positions 20-30 in recent years, when they should have reached far higher. Here are some standouts that come to mind. Aranda - "Still in the Dark" Atomship - "Pencil Fight" Cinder Road - "Get In Get Out" Egypt Central - "You Make Me Sick" Faktion - "Take It All Away" Jet Black Stare - "Ready to Roll" Midnight to Twelve - "Slam" Royal Bliss - "Save Me" Since October - "Guilty"

Ok admittedly I don't prefer all these songs to "Dragonfly". Another few that come to mind are Pop Evil - "Hero" & Papercut Massacre - "Left 4 Dead".

The point is I don't think "Dragonfly" really does anything differently to the songs mentioned above. They're all pretty good alt-metal/post-grunge tunes. It's not like the quality of "Dragonfly" is far superior to these songs.

Well I guess based on my voting pattern, I'd in general disagree. I think it's significantly better than Pop Evil, Since October, Jet Black Stare, Midnight To Twelve, and Cinder Road, and better than some of the others as well. I also think that with the exception of Atomship, it has the most unique sound. The way the acoustic guitar is used is very interesting with the juxtaposition of very folky patterns with very modern sounding production. His voice is also more soulful than a lot of the others on this list. "Dragonfly" doesn't follow a typical verse-chorus form but rather a sort of crescendo over the whole song (sorta like "Sometime around Midnight" or "With Or Without You" on a smaller scale). While they aren't exactly pioneers in the world of rock, "Dragonfly" is more inventive than the other songs mentioned besides "Pencil Fight".
