96/100. Now THIS I can get behind.
You think I'm gonna post something radically different this time too? What sorta fantasy life you think you're livin', you're still stuck with 80s rock-and-roll!
"I, Exdeath, have disguised my self as a splinter, waiting for this very moment!" -Exdeath, 1992Hell yeah!! That's some good headbanging material. Catchy as hell with some seriously epic riffs. It reeks of the eighties, but in a good way.
Chuck Billy and Others - Silent Night
…Yeah, that… really happened…
1/10 I've come across this before. I actually like thrash metal and Testament, but in terms of ironic metal covers of songs I just can't stomach this one. I might find it amusing if they did this with one of those stupid pop Christmas songs, but with "Silent Night" it just feels wrong.

50/100 - One of those bands I'll never "get". The acoustic guitar that provides a platform for the rest of the song is competently played and the singing is lulling and relaxing but it never really goes beyond that before slightly spiking in intensity yet never really pulling anything powerful out of it.
7/10: Some nice, hypnotic music. Tambura-like drones, tribal-like drums, pretty voices...not bad! A bit overly long, though.
67/100. It's nice, I guess, but the lyrics are a bit hard to follow (Note: I listen to a lot of death metal, this is saying something), and I just have a natural aversion to songs driven by the lyrics (I CAN HEAR THE BREAK BETWEEN LOOPS, VIOLIN).
So you've predicted that it's gonna be more 80s rock? You've got the touch for this prediction business!

"I, Exdeath, have disguised my self as a splinter, waiting for this very moment!" -Exdeath, 19929/10: YOU GOT THE TOUCH
YOU GOT THE POWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
(Amazing obvs)
Joanna Newsom - Go Long (her voice is fine on this song, for those who think she hasn't aged in eleven years)
Joanna for waifu 10/10 if one think her vocal were harsh in Ys, this is a massive improvement in their ears then. The harps harmonics, the vocal and the lyric all blended together into a sweet melodic, sombre tune that just takes you away to a time far back, it's that good.
http://www.last.fm/user/sgtpendulum Yo, check out what I'm listening, it'll be heat, brah :^)The only songs by Weezer I've heard before were from the worse part of their career ("Hash Pipe" and "Pork and Beans"), so I never knew much about what they sounded like in their prime. This song is gorgeous in how it's so simple but is sprinkled with a lot of little stylistic tricks that make it so adorably personal. Infinitely better than the MTV gunk they did in the 00's. (10/10)
Nonsense is better than no sense at all.I don't really know what to think of it… It feels somewhat inconsistent and the guitars seem deliberately badly tuned, which creates a sort of dissonance and "unpolished" feel… Yet it does manage to have a not unpleasant atmosphere to it. I'm not sure what they were going for, but it kind of works to an extent.
A little trance for a change.
Solid 3/10, I don't like the slightly reverb pitch bass drum beat. The synths sounded so stringy and empty, I know it's a trance and it's supposed to make you feel spacey but with the way the song's being overproduced and crammed with all sorts of beats, synths and vocals, which is so thin and whispery that it didn't really add to the song, it resulted in a mess in my ears.
http://www.last.fm/user/sgtpendulum Yo, check out what I'm listening, it'll be heat, brah :^)70/100 - Wow, melancholy hip-hop is just really... good. I could try to analyze this but I can't even right now.
6/10: Not really a prog person (though I'm trying to get into it). An interesting concept, though, with a violin as the front.
As a counterpoint to the GOP debate, why don't we shake a tail for peace and love?
Solid 6/10 to a light 7/10 The vocals is what make this song great, it's energetic, stroked a good balance between clean and harsh for their genre and managed to control their pitch well. The instruments are basic as fuck, though.
This Town Needs Guns-Chinchilla
http://www.last.fm/user/sgtpendulum Yo, check out what I'm listening, it'll be heat, brah :^)7/10 This was quite nice, but it did occasionally feel a bit aimless.
Sing the song of sixpence that goes burn the witch, we know where you liveSolid 5/10, it should have this chilled melancholic atmosphere with the drums and bass but the way the vocal were pitched and the violin were used, it just doesn't feel like it worked together, especially when he wails along with the violin. In the verses, it just felt so spacey and unengaging.
Copypasta Sings Navy Seal Copypasta
http://www.last.fm/user/sgtpendulum Yo, check out what I'm listening, it'll be heat, brah :^);__; A gut-gripping recount of hell on the battlefield and the killing madness it induces in its victims. The broken voice channels the singer's anger, and the calm, minimalistic guitar background expresses the sadness and melancholy hidden behind the harsh words. A subtle and subversive song. Or just a depiction of an internet debate, maybe.
And now, let's learn a little Swedish!
Now you can hate me.
2/10 That's one of those memes I've seen referenced but never actually watched. It wasn't as annoying I thought I would be, but songs with sugar-high happiness and chipmunk vocals do nothing for me.

6/10. It's what it would sound like if Celtic rock and psychidelic rock had a slow one night stand. Not terrible, but it's eh...

Your works are one trope short.Solid 6/10 to a light 7/10, groovy as fuck but not much else.
http://www.last.fm/user/sgtpendulum Yo, check out what I'm listening, it'll be heat, brah :^)8/10: Great beat-sounds like if Boards of Canada were hip hop producers. I like the guy's voice, too.
Sleater-Kinney - What's Mine is Yours (last S-K song for a while)
50/100 - I like the raw production quality and the powerful, disciplined wails (very Siouxsie and the Banshees Reminiscent if more aggressive) but the rhythms and leads they're supporting feel rushed and cobbled together. Like, a lot of budget time-keeper riffs and wobbly leads that feel practically made up on the spot. Still, not bad.
Not bad. The "runaway train" pace in the first half is catchy, and the sudden slow down halfway through has a nice touch of despair to it. It feels powerful but not unnecessarily saturated, if that makes any sense. The voice is all over the place, though…
And now for another language we haven't heard much on this thread:

This has quite a nice tune, but I'm not especially fond of his voice. It's a bit too nasal for my liking though it's not really harmful for the song itself. I'd obviously appreciate this more if I understood the lyrics, but I quite like it as it is. 7,5/10
If we're doing other languages, have some Dutch hiphop.
De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig - De Formule
I can't imagine this will go over well. Believe it or not, these guys are quite highly regarded in the Netherlands and are often hailed as language innovators.

78/100 - Early hard rock classic from my homeland, kind of like Rainbow but with a poppier melodic sensibility and a warmer slightly lower pitched vocal performance.
