Rate the song above you on the sliding scale of musical harshness.

Not to be confused with The Mohs Scale Of Rock And Metal Hardness, the The Sliding Scale of Musical Harshness refers to the harshness of a piece of music (ie. how dissonant it is, how much white noise it utilises etc.) as opposed to the hardness that is typically only found in Heavy Metal and certain types of rock music. Please read the article for more details.

Never mind, bad joke. Carry on.

Did you actually read the OP? Hell, did you read the thread title? Also, metal is hard, not harsh. Please read the article.

I know, joke.

Why not contribute to the thread rather than post jokes or apologise for making jokes?

Because jokes are funny...?

That's a bit of a rude response, don't you think? Not everyone appreciates their threads being solely used to crack a few stupid jokes, you know. Some people don't mind, but don't think everyone does.

With that said, I wouldn't mind such myself as long as it didn't get too out of hand, but respect other people's wishes, dude.

EDIT: Yeah, I'm aware he even found the apologizing about it "not-thread-worthy", and I agree that's probably going overboard, but my point stands.

To try to actually contribute something to this thread, I'm gonna go ahead and rate this a 10. Would've been a for if not for the cool backbeat.

Underworld - King of Snake (Fatboy Slim Remix)

Hmm... I think I'll give this a 62.

Melt Banana - Candy Gun

I'd say... 110.

Hideki Naganuma - That's Enough

The funky, percussive nature brings a certain inherent harshness, as does the repetitive juggernaut nature, but it's still fundamentally a fairly chilled out track. I'd rate this at about a 34. It'd be much harsher if it had the Boss singing. Anyway, this music just turns me on.

Girl Band - Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage (Blawan cover)

Seems to jump between 220 and 160, hitting everything in between. It's oddly catchy as well.

Kanye West - On Sight from his harshest album to date.

Disjointedness gives this a 130, jumps up to 137 pretty quickly, jumps up and down quite a bit, generally around the 140 mark. Suddenly drops down to 30 before going back up to 134, down to 100. Up to 140 again. Good track, anyway.

Anamanaguci - Blackout City
