nice, i like it better than the original

[nevernevernever]

is he bored

[TylerDurden911]

I usually hate that kind of music...yet somehow I love that song. I can't really say why, but there's something about the vibe of that song, something really dark about it that I really, really like. Barker just made it better.

i agree.

[edit] except, i don't really agree with barker having made it better - i like the original better, it sounds darker. i do like the little guitar bit before the "ella"s though and in the bridge, though.

one more agreement. i don't know what it is. i grabbed the album and really enjoy it.

[keeplioving]

no thanks.
this song is awful.

[TheOtherAndrew]

better than the original at least

[krischel]

yeah, i'm the same way about this song...i'm usually not the type of fan for this kind of music but this song is pretty good

[Deliverance]

I really like both versions of this song.
Really unsure of why.

[Say Hello 87]

any idea of itll become downloadable? or can it be ripped..cause i like. im not usually ever into hip-hop at all...but this song just sounds good like this

[box of crayons]

nice

[miltownrob]

he did a good job

[idunno09]

Very good makes me hate the song a little less unfortunalty we can still here those vocals

[Rise]

really feeling those little fills he did in threw in. good job barker

[Imtheotherguy]

Rihanna sings like shes sponsored by antares auto tune

[shapeshiftphoto]

one more agreement. i don't know what it is. i grabbed the album and really enjoy it.

i also agree =]

[richie]

ahahahahah @ the autotune comment.
travis did an amazing job with the drums.

[diehtc0ke]

I've gotta agree with most of the people in this thread. I really have not liked anything this girl has put out but I really dig this song. I'm sure the rest of her CD is crap but the way this song is done... I don't know. I find myself singing it. I think I prefer this remix a little but both are done well.

[DSCN1854]

Not a fan of this song by any means, but we can all make one sure agreement:

"Umbrella" > all of the stuff off that fucking Dear Hunter album.

[altemose09]

i havent heard the original but this one isnt good

[Ruggiero2oo8]

I hate this song.

[LikeACat]

Not a fan of this song by any means, but we can all make one sure agreement:

"Umbrella" > all of the stuff off that fucking Dear Hunter album.

agreed.

Travis Barker did a really good job on remixing this song just would of liked maybe abit more guitar (complexity) in it.

[jaboonta]

this remix rules

[megancecelia]

ella ella elle a a a a....
gonna be in my head all day now.

[NotEmo.JustMe]

i liked the song anyways but that version is actually better, hah.

why did he choose to do this song i wonder...:-|

[0101]

i liked her vma version - i like this version as well.

[Manbotisdead]

Not a fan of either version.

I keep thinking she is saying you can stand under my "arm beretta", which clearly makes no sense.

[zachff]

since I'm not sure what's up with the b-side thread, is there any way anyone can rip and up this for me, and post the link here

[M-House]

what genre of music does this song even fall into?

[hiddentrack]

This song has been stuck in my head for a few days now. This remix is tight. It seems now that I can no longer deny my love for this song.

[brentkid]

Ella, ella, ella, eh, eh.

Okay remix. Song was stuck in my head a few days ago. Can't escape it.

[Stephie]

I saw them Tuesday at the HCT in Indy. They played "What's my age again". It kind of made my life.

[thePCownsYOU]

The only Plus 44 news on this site is about them playing other peoples songs. Haha

[megancecelia]

I saw them Tuesday at the HCT in Indy. They played "What's my age again". It kind of made my life.

I know what you mean...they played "Rock show" at cleveland and about freaked out. brought back some amazing memories.

[MountainJam2113]

better.

[The Archer]

Sweet.

[SummerPerfuma]

Yeah hah, this song is pretty BA.., it makes it better considering she's a looker.

[wrmerman]

Rihanna sings like shes sponsored by antares auto tune

She is actually a phenomenal singer. Everyone that makes a record is sponsored by antares autotune

[Garett Press]

umbrella is a great song, and a great step for hip-hop

rihanna is hot as shit, and sings beautifully

the song has balls and an edge and it's okay to like it even though it's on the radio

[chcougar1]

glad to see I'm not the only one on this site that fucking loves this song and has no idea why hahah

[SweetThye]

Not a fan of this song by any means, but we can all make one sure agreement:

"Umbrella" > all of the stuff off that fucking Dear Hunter album.

WOA!! Are you serious? You think that "Um-ba-rella" is better than any Dear Hunter song? Wow. You really don't like good music do you?

[Genuma]

I still don't really like it, but it's better,

[nicfusion]

I think he actually made that song a little bit more tolerable.

[pleasegoodmusic]

Way to Limp Bizkit the crap out of a good song.

[terrrrrible]

Maybe it's just me, but I can hardly tell the difference between the original and the remix. It just sounds like he amplified the drums / guitars, which really wouldn't make it a remix at all.

[Ignoto]

This song is awesome. rihanna can stand underneath my umbrella ella ella a a a anyday. she's tasty. i never knew travis did remixes, is this his first one? he did a good job

[thatprovidence]

this song is catchy as shit...

and the real drums just make it even sweeter

[BlisterMaggot]

Rihanna sings like shes sponsored by antares auto tune

Hellogoodbye snagged that one a while ago

[xbrokendownx]

can someone rip this?

[jtrocka182]

Very good makes me hate the song a little less unfortunalty we can still here those vocals

Yeah you have to admit that her vocals are good. I agree with a lot of people here that this song is very catchy and I really don't mind listening to it.

[Nolessthanblink]

What is he doing this for?

[lewisonfire]

dude forgot to use GATES on his drums.....dont want to hear the room here. dumbass.

[mcr_fob_aarx3]

Though better, the song still isn't good

[knibl]

I usually hate that kind of music...yet somehow I love that song. I can't really say why, but there's something about the vibe of that song, something really dark about it that I really, really like. Barker just made it better.

oh man

there's something about that song i really like too.

i hate that type of music too.

i think it's the cranberries-esque chorus.

[sweetforever]

The song is a jam and catchy as hell.

[boldt_action]

umbrella is a great song, and a great step for hip-hop

rihanna is hot as shit, and sings beautifully

I agree with you, I'm not a fan of much if any R&B, but something about Rihanna gets me.

[boldt_action]

can someone rip this?
And seconded.

[ZeoVGM]

Someone please make a rip of this.

[RandomHero1230]

sweet.

[jantelis]

I like it just as much as the original. the melody and harmony are insanely sweet!!

[ZeoVGM]

Someone needs to rip this.
