It's decent if a little slow, I like it when it picks up in the middle though. 6.5/10.

Unusually hard-sounding, but unmistakeably a Queen song, 4/5.

Spiral out, keep going.
7/10: Dark, unsettling blues-y stuff. Kinda getting some good Nick Cave vibes off of this.

Another green world.
Never been much into ambient. 6/10.
Nice beat, good flow, all-around great Boastful Rap, 4/5.

7.5/10. Pretty cool song. Mike and the other rappers were really good. The beat was pretty cool as well. I don't know if I would come back to it but it's great.
7/10. A decent song but it's a little too slow for my tastes.

8/10. Mike Patton's a great singer and I also like the instrumentation of this song to boot. It feels really dramatic in a good way. It reminds me that I really need to listen to more Mr. Bungle and Faith No More. But I have to take points off for that beeping noise at the end. It really caught me off guard in a bad way.
Fountains of Wayne - Mexican Wine
'Tis consider'd common courtesy to rate both songs above thou when thou've been ninja'd.
Nice, and catchy pop rock song, 4/5.
Songs of Yuletide (Crusader Kings II OST)
Merrry Christmas, everyone!
Spiral out, keep going.
Decent modern use of Christmas music. 7/10.
8/10. Good stuff. It's a rocking instrumental and I love the sound of this song.
Atomship-Time For People
Sounds like the kind of music you'd hear on modern and active rock radio in the mid-'00s. I personally enjoy it even if others don't. 7.5/10.
Beautiful and soothing, if simplistic piece of electronic music, 4/5.
David Usher - Black Black Heart (slow version)
Atlas
This is walking a really dangerous tightrope between epic and overblown. The trip-hop beat saunters across effortlessly, the strings only barely manage to balance, and I'm afraid the choral samples, brief as they are, slip off completely and damage the song as a whole. I'm also not too convinced by the exaggerated breathy, "sensual" vocals. 6.5/10
Tastes better on the way back down.
Basically a weird cover/mash-up of songs done in a weird style? For what it is, it's alright. 6.5/10.
The singer's Russian living in Japan, correct? If so, then I finally know what Japanese-accented Russian sounds like. It's also strange to hear that the lines sung in English are tinted with (softened) Russian accent, not Japanese. My linguistic exercises aside, it's a nice and dynamic techno-like piece of electronic music, if a bit drawn out, 3/5.

I've never been much into classical, but it's decent. 6.5/10.
A really good song. It's both catchy and interesting. I really love the singing in this. I may not be a Who fan but damn is this good. 8/10.

It's pretty average, it's sounded like a Kansas song then Pink Floyd TBH.

The kings of power metal do a brief about face... of sorts, anyway. This sort of medieval style folk music might seem a world away from power metal on paper, but in practice the high fantasy aesthetic blends better than expected with their usual output. It's just as successful at being so cheesy it becomes genuinely great fun, for that matter. 8/10
Video contains just over a minute of silence for whatever reason.

8/10. A pretty cool song. I like the guitar playing and the singer has a really nice voice. It reminds me something I'd hear from Medieval times.
7.5/10. A pretty catchy with a good vocalist and a catchy chorus. I like it.

I like some of this band's work, but not this. I can see why Amy Lee had a Creator Backlash against the song. 5/10.
IIRC, Hybrid Theory was the album that popularized the Nu Metal, and this track can be considered a filler. Too formulaic and generic, 3/5.
Londonbeat - I've Been Thinking About You
He'll take the case!
4/10. The lyrics are pretty generic as far as love songs go and the instrumentation feels uninteresting too. If I took out the lyrics it might sound like something that'd be playing at a nightclub in a TV show or something. I've heard a lot worse though and I still sort of like it mainly for the Narm Charm aspects of it (Especially the video).

What is there to say? It's an immensely Soviet-sounding song, it's decent, the performance is decent. Sorry, there are just some styles I have real trouble discussing meaningfully. 6/10
