Fairly typical post-rock guitar jangling is given a different atmosphere to the usual melancholy fare via energetic, pulsing drumbeats and a heavy layer of glitchy electronic processing. The result sounds tense and tetchy, like the music you'd hear in the trailer for an especially gritty action movie. 6.5/10
Tastes better on the way back down.

It's like Cocteau Twin Peaks. It would good for listening to whilst on certain substances. 8/10
something
I'm always good for jazz fusion and this has an eclectic feel. 8.5/10.
Getting really strong Disco vibes off this, fery catchy, upbeat and funky. Ends abruptly, though, 4/5.
Safri Duo feat. Soweto Gospel Choir - Athena
Odd tribal percussion mixed with an electronic beat and chanting. It's something. 7/10.
A gritty track with a real funky instrumental from Ice Cube's best album. Good stuff. 8.5/10
Lonnie Liston Smith - A Chance For Peace
Lonnie Liston Smith sings, but his vocals take the supporting role on this track, it feels more like an instrumental. The funky beat that serves as a framework has enough meat on it for the end product to not feel repetitive, 4/5.
P.S. Man, this is, like, third song in a row for me that has Funk in it.
Warning: 10 minutes long.

4/10. I prefer having something that makes metal listenable to go with the technicality.
He'll take the case!
4.5/10. I thought it was just all right. It was kinda repetitive and forgettable for me. Also, it reminded me of elevator music.
Word's second most famous attorney with a bird-related name.
Like the bouncy indie rock rhythm, but the vocals are rather annoying and the composition feels unfocused, the whole song is really disjointed, 2/5.
Siouxsie and The Banshees - Drifter
Has a dark, haunting and gothic vibe to it that works. 7.5/10.
Huh. Pretty cool stuff. The electric guitar part was great...until my teeth started to ring a bit. I really need to listen to Daft Punk more. 7.5/10
Here's King George III's very own villain song: Hamilton Cast (Jonathan Groff)- You'll Be Back
Here's another link just in case the first one doesn't work

We all have that one exception to our rules, don't we? In my case, I very rarely have any patience for musicals, but Hamilton has something from my perspective that other musicals don't. I can't really sum it up beyond Lin-Manuel Miranda being a genuinely talented composer who brings a real charm to his compositions, including this little ditty - an upbeat British Invasion-styled tune that sounds like it could have been written for The Kinks, perfect for a Laughably Evil personification of colonial Britain. 8/10

Atmospheric R'n'B with admittedly pretty simplistic electronic beat, 3/5.
Spiral out, keep going.
I've heard this song WAAAAAY too many times, and I wasn't a fan to begin with. 5/10.
He'll take the case!
5/10. I get the appeal, but this genre just isn't my thing. Overall, I'm just kinda neutral towards the song.
Cat Stevens - Here Comes My Baby
I'm not insane, I'm not… not insane!
Pretty nice. It's nothing to write home about, but that's what makes its charm, if that makes any sense… Just a little song you can hum smiling on the way home. Like the reflect of a different, more carefree era.
Megalo Box OST - Episode 12 rap (doesn't have a title yet)
Nice female hip-hop with a strong beat. I ought to watch this anime. 8.5/10.
Classic jazz buried underneath the danceable and catchy beat, lamenting the loss of its gonads, 3/5.
Ludicra - Truth Won't Set You Free
6.5-7/10. Decent enough Black Metal. I'm not into the genre but this was okay enough.
Led Zeppelin - Ten Years Gone

I like it. Not really my favorite genre of music, but I've been meaning to listen to Led Zeppelin to see what all of the hype is about. The composition is great. Nothing like good ol' classic hard rock. 9/10

It's about everything you could want from reggae - catchy, chill and infused right to the roots with Rastafarian spirituality. Not much more to say, especially since Marley is one of those artists who's been discussed to death. 6/10
Against All Logic - This Old House Is All I Have
50/100 - Opens like an extremely ominous version of the backing track of a hip hop number, mellowing out into a downbeat groove, occasionally interspersed with Hans Zimmer style grating drones. It's a cool idea but it feels somewhat incongruous or at times stylistically conflicted.
I knew I was going to regret this and I was right. This type of music just makes me noxious. 2/10.
Funky tune that, sadly, overstays its welcome. Apart from the solo in the middle of the track there's not much variety to it, 3/5.
65daysofstatic - Mean Low Water
