6/10: Am liking the instrumentation, not so much the generic "grr woooooow" metal vocals

Aw, dang... "Sorry, new accounts cannot post external links."

OK, then: "Of Monsters and Men: King and Lionheart." Youtube it.

[up] You're not allowed to just post a number. You need to post some kind of actual analysis of the song.

[up][up] 9.5/10: It's not the most significant song ever, but this song makes me cry every time. Especially the second chorus.

3/10 Oh my god, that melody is really annoying. Like, gratingly, mind-numbingly annoying. It gets an extra half a point for the disembodied boots, though. I like those.

Game of Thrones soundtrack - Reek

6/10 - Really doesn't sound as good without the show there to back it up, but then again, I'm never big on listening to OS Ts isolated from the actual show.

Incursus - Phantasmagoria

I would have posted When Death Enthrones Our Darkness, but I sadly couldn't find a vid.

10/10. Although Cohen has explained the meaning, I feel the song can be interpreted in many different ways, and to me that's a positive, as it means that it appeals to many different people. Moreover, melody/lyrics are just... made of win. *shrug*

You mean like "this sure is, huh, music"? tongue

[up] I was never a big fan of Placebo and the melody isn't that outstanding, but I like the lyrics. A bit of a double meaning in them.

… Heh, I'll put a metal song for once.

Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare

(well, going by the youtube comments some people don't consider this group as metal, but let's just say it is for now. I'm not very good with the subtleties of rock genres.)

Hey, at least that's something

4/10. Some nice instrumentation, but the vocals are some of the douchiest I've ever heard in heavy metal music.

2/10 - I have little to no tolerance for this kind of milquetoast boring pretty-boy light hop drivel. This isn't even his worse track but I feel the need to ask how the fuck does this guy manage to be even more boring than Burial ?

40/100 - Muddy drawling bluesy hard rock with a lot of fuzz that hides otherwise plain droning riffage and a rather overdone vocal performance.

Vàli - Stein Og Bark

8/10 The melody really speaks to you, and the instrumentation supports it well without overdoing it.

Erik Satie- Gymnopedie No.1

7/10. Nice, but limp-wristed. Lacks the energy and fervor of great classical music.

This gets an even 50/100. I honestly can't tell from one listening to the next if it's saccharine wank or if it's a decent feelgood ditty. Sometimes it makes me want to strangle the nearest grippable object. And sometimes it brings a giant cheesy smile to my face. I can see why they used it for the Friends pilot. Make of that what you will.

A good song, manages to straddle the line between pop and alternative rock without really sounding too forced or unnatural. All in all a cool song. 7/10.

6.5/10 - You get the distinct impression they're testing out their instruments before they start playing; a 'sound check', so to speak.

Taher Shah - Eye To Eye tongue

It's not bad. An easy enough listen, though I've heard better. Plods a bit. Atmospheric enough, but it quickly wears off.

65/100

83/100 - Spirited rock piece, I like that it makes the bass quite prominent and clear while using colourful keyboard but not over-enthusiastic melody lines. The guitar tone though is neutered to the point where it's almost unnecessary. Vocals could be a little better but it may just be production.

Vulvagun - Confessions of a Flesh Eater
