neekafat: Sput's JAN 2018 Song of the Day

neekafat 01.03.18	So if you tl;dr'd the summary, here are the rules: 1. Submit a song with the link and small write-up 2. The song will be added and assigned a day 3. On that day, we will all give the song a listen and rating 4. You can only rec one song until we've gone all the way down the line 5. There is no obligation to listen/rate/add songs, I want as little stress as possible here. Hopefully this is fun and goes somewhere, but who knows! Let's just give it a try (:
Tyler. 01.03.18	hannah diamond - pink and blue
neekafat 01.03.18	link pls
Papa Universe 01.03.18	didn't know you had a film career.. you have an imdb page?
neekafat 01.03.18	Technically I'm still in school so it's not really a "career" and yeah but it's nothing to write home about yet, I'll start sharing it when the projects I've Assistant Directed finally get put up lol
Frivolous 01.03.18	sure this could be fun rating for wait - 4.0/5 Song: Eyesore - Women (noise rock/post-punk) (5/5 song) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsmwy_ZU6zQ
Papa Universe 01.03.18	Come On - Don't Walk on the Kitchen Floor (Post-Punk, naturally) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ywO7n8rrNY This song has been on an eternal spit for a long time now. It is multi-layered and versatile. The guitar and bass lines are mesmerising, as are the raw vocals pulsating throughout the track. It's a hell of a dramatic experience that builds and builds, but never culminates, instead, like the Post-Punk great it is, it drags you into its atmospheric world of chaos and leaves you there, isolated and bitter.
BigHans 01.03.18	Japandroids - The House That Heaven Built Genre - The one that know this is the best song ever made. The musical equivalent of 16 Pabst Blue Ribbons, a willing and aspiring stripper, and a Porterhouse Steak.
Papa Universe 01.03.18	As for "Wait": I've never been much of a M83 fan, but the guy knows how to make occasional, but grandiose hits. "Wait" is just another on of those. It's as enticingly explosive as one could ever wish and what's more important, it keeps on going with that gorgeously massive tune and never lets go. Goddamn beauty. Deserved 5/5
Feather 01.03.18	This will have 10 billion comments if it starts to work.
BigHans 01.03.18	I completely forgot Wait existed. I only usually listen to Reunion and Claudia Lewis on that album. Rules though.
neekafat 01.03.18	What's your rating BigHans? (:
neekafat 01.03.18	So glad you love it too Uni!
BigHans 01.03.18	Rating for Wait? 4/5. Rating for House That Heaven Built? 100/5
neekafat 01.03.18	I'll be sure to update that score when the day comes (;
Drifter 01.03.18	R. Kelly - Step In The Name Of Love Perfection. R&B/Chicago Stepping (?) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gtWV0Zfpsc0
neekafat 01.03.18	Updateddd
ZombieToyDuck 01.03.18	this is a really really great idea will have to submit for this!
ZombieToyDuck 01.03.18	also you can throw my 5/5 rating on wait if you'd like!
neekafat 01.03.18	Thanks dude and will do! (:
BlazinBlitzer 01.03.18	Gospel - "A Golden Dawn" This is a 9+ minute epic from the (unfortunately) one-and-done screamo/progressive rock album The Moon is a Dead World. Not only did the production flawlessly master raw beauty and emotion, but all aspects of the songwriting are some of the greatest accomplishments in the history of rock music, hell, most of all music. The musicianship is absolutely phenomenal and the lyrics could not have been better delivered or molded into the production and instruments. There's a sense of misery in the lyrics that really strikes a chord with me throughout the entire song yet there's the slightest layer of hope in the lighting fast climax. It's a modern classic. M83 - "Wait" is specifically my 9th favorite song of all time, and I heard about it through your rec on another song rec list. It's one of the only songs to make me well up in the right mood. 5/5, no question.
50iL 01.03.18	Kuroki Nagisa - Kumari Just listen to this EP. This song has one of my favorite moments in all music. You'll know it when you hear it.
neekafat 01.04.18	"It's one of the only songs to make me well up in the right mood." I hear you there man, makes me so glad to have introduced you to a song in your Top 10! (:
BlazinBlitzer 01.04.18	Well, I'm really glad you're putting the word out about it because that song deserves every ounce of praise.
neekafat 01.04.18	If everyone in the world would give it a listen, the world would be a better place!
BlushfulHippocrene 01.04.18	Great list idea! Wait's probably a 4/5 for me, I'll see if I can think of something to rec. (:
neekafat 01.04.18	Thanks blush (: But you know in your heart it's more of a 5! Can't wait!
neekafat 01.04.18	...you guys know we can go by the .1 scale right?
Drifter 01.04.18	INCONCEIVABLE
neekafat 01.04.18	Drifteez you ain't even rated yet Also, featured baby!
BlushfulHippocrene 01.04.18	Alright, it can have a 4.2 then. :3

Drifter 01.04.18	Princess Bride my neeka

50iL 01.04.18	Golden Dawn is one of my favorite songs ever. 69/5 easily.
Drifter 01.04.18	Wait is a 4
neekafat 01.04.18	No problem fam! Do you have a rating for Wait to? (: Thanks Drift!
50iL 01.04.18	I'll check Wait later my guy

neekafat 01.04.18	Sounds good my dude!
Drifter 01.04.18	Can't wait til the 8th
neekafat 01.04.18	Agh Rigma whyyy
BlazinBlitzer 01.04.18	Ayy, The Princess Bride reference!
Rigma 01.04.18	The Oh Hellos - Exeunt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB4ULHI0svo Realistically I could've picked any track on Dear Wormwood because of the sheer charm emanating from every single one, but Exeunt to me is the perfect micro chasm of it all. From the get-go it draws you in with its playful nature: the mini-orchestra teasing you with every line, the strings following suit in a cute staccato riff that's bound to plaster a dumb grin on the face of anyone, and the boastful pounding of the bellowing bass drum. Not before long it all culminates into a proud hypnotic chant that quickly falls back to the organized chaos it grew from, leaving you with a glimpse of just how well the band is able to progress emotion through simplicity. It makes me very, very happy.
neekafat 01.04.18	Updated!
Kompys2000 01.04.18	Moon Tooth- "Silver Gallows" (Progressive/sludge metal, I guess?) Explosive, soulful, and impassioned, and immaculately performed to boot. "Wait" is a hard 4.5/5, great song. There's always time for NO TI-I-IME
50iL 01.04.18	God, wait was sick. 4.3/5
neekafat 01.04.18	Updated! I told y'all it would be (:
Kompys2000 01.04.18	Rating for "Pink and Blue": 2.9 PRO TIP: listen at 0.75 speed, it sounds better that way
Papa Universe 01.04.18	Rating for Hannah Diamond - Pink and Blue: Dear god, this has been annoying beyond comprehension. I am sorry, but listening to this is like Kero Kero Bonito on Barbie sniff-dust with a surprising amount of earache inducing glitteriness. Ugh. Sorry, it's just far from anything I could even try to like. 1/5
Kompys2000 01.04.18	From the YouTube comments section: "I understand why people might call this song a guilty pleasure, but the song is actually a lot more intelligent than people might first think. Hopefully I don't come across as too pretentious as I try to analyze it. First of all the title is called Pink and Blue. Why is this significant? Because it refers to the traditional colors of gender symbols, the blue ♂ being male and the pink ♀ being female. This is why Hannah Diamond is depicted as wearing just pink on the cover, as she is meant to embody her gender role. This sentiment, of course, is also echoed throughout the song, as Hannah Diamond's persona longs for an extremely heteronormative relationship, without fully comprehending the value of love. In the chorus, the conversation she imagines having with her partner is "You say 'Baby how are you?' / I'm okay how about you?" It's all small talk-- there's no substance to the conversation, and there's no real connection between her and her partner. Yet, for whatever reason, this is what she longs for. Given that the song mirrors pop music, it seems likely that Hannah's desires are a result of pop culture telling her what is right, rather than Hannah coming to her own conclusions. It's why she's willing to rush into a relationship, since her only criteria is having "a guy that likes her too" even though she "thinks she likes him maybe". And the cold, glitchy aesthetic of the song only heightens the impersonal nature of Hannah's "ideal" relationship. The song is definitely "art music" and post-modern. It calls into question the values that society perpetrates and the potential harm this could cause to people. And of course, the song itself is super catchy, even if it follows a very standard pop template. That's why I don't feel guilty about loving this song though. It's an infectious song made better by its willingness to question societal values and its interesting computerized aesthetic." MY SIDES
Papa Universe 01.04.18	spew your pseudo-intelligent mumbo-jumbo all you want, it is still the most obnoxious thing i've heard since my retarded toddler cousin forgot how to stop screaming
Kompys2000 01.04.18	No yeah that whole essay is nonsense, I just think it's hilarious how much they're reading into something so insubstantial.
Papa Universe 01.04.18	we get it, it's Rick and Morty of music, no matter how stupid it gets
Tunaboy45 01.04.18	Grimes- Kill v Maim it's impossible to listen to this and not get pumped
Papa Universe 01.04.18	try me
Kompys2000 01.04.18	link?
neekafat 01.04.18	How tf does this have a 3.8 avg
neekafat 01.04.18	Pink and Blue: 2.2/5
Kompys2000 01.04.18	Listened to it a couple more times, gonna have to bump down that rating to a nice even 2.5
neekafat 01.04.18	I don't think I'm ever gonna listen again but maybe I should
Kompys2000 01.04.18	I saw the average and figured there might be something I was missing, but it just got more irksome the more I listened to it
Rigma 01.04.18	pink and blue 1.9/5
Frivolous 01.04.18	pink and blue 3.5/5 one of hannah's weaker songs tbh no idea why tyler went with that one. she's made much better stuff
BlazinBlitzer 01.04.18	Hannah Diamond's face on the EP cover is me while listening to this. 1.8/5 The chorus is a pretty different than a lot of pop stuff, I guess. I kinda like having the sound centered on the random effects rather than trashy drum machines. Everything else is a total dumpster fire, unfortunately.
Slut 01.04.18	leave hannah alone
Drifter 01.04.18	Lolololil
Slut 01.04.18	the song actually bangs idk why you guys are so basic
Drifter 01.04.18	I didn't listen to it so I'm not a basic
Slut 01.04.18	ok fair
Papa Universe 01.04.18	i'd rather be normal than fucknuts
Slut 01.04.18	too late i guess?
Drifter 01.04.18	Does basic = normal though?
Slut 01.04.18	yeah idk what he is talking about
Papa Universe 01.04.18	if you're basic, you're hardly insane
Drifter 01.04.18	Prove it
Papa Universe 01.04.18	well, if i use myself as an example that'll disprove it immediately
Slut 01.04.18	nope
ramon. 01.05.18	Rigma I love you
neekafat 01.05.18	Holy fuck this is even worse the second time It's like someone put a Disney soundtrack through an autotune Bjork emulator
Drifter 01.05.18	Can't wait til the 8th [2]
Frivolous 01.05.18	Hi + Attachment >>>> Pink and Blue
Rigma 01.05.18	ramon ily more
neekafat 01.05.18	Slut's talking mad trash but hasn't even rated or rec'd a song
Frivolous 01.05.18	slut's a tyler alt my dude
neekafat 01.05.18	Oh I knew that
Papa Universe 01.05.18	It sounds like a squirrel that developed speech and subsequently got beaten to death by a pink toy hammer.
Papa Universe 01.05.18	It sounds like the sound that comes out on the toilet when you overuse laxatives after you consume too much glitter and cake frosting.
Papa Universe 01.05.18	It sounds like a child beauty pageant, whose overweight mum makes her wear so much make-up that her cries for help sound merely as muffled squeals. Also glitter violently sprinkled from above, as she enters the stage.
neekafat 01.05.18	I wonder if she'll be able to catch up to M83's AVG :/
Papa Universe 01.05.18	It sounds like a Gummi Bear's incestuous child.
Drifter 01.05.18	Dad do you not have anything better to do rn?
Frivolous 01.05.18	are you done
neekafat 01.05.18	"Dad do you not have anything better to do rn?" [2] Tho I did enjoy that rant
Papa Universe 01.05.18	It sounds like what the KGB played to their captives on repeat until they break and confess to crimes they didn't commit.
Papa Universe 01.05.18	It sounds like what Jim Carrey got off to before shooting that Dumb and Dumber scene people remember.
Frivolous 01.05.18	no he's not done
Papa Universe 01.05.18	It's what people use to compare war crimes to. If it's worse that this, it's a war crime. That's why there were only a handful of people prosecuted for that since the release.
Frivolous 01.05.18	still going
Frivolous 01.05.18	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2UQSSoSdTM
Papa Universe 01.05.18	Unless it appears on the next episode of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared as another song that skins the characters and makes their organs boil and exit their bodies from every hole in a liquid form, then it has no place existing.
Frivolous 01.05.18	back at it again
Slut 01.05.18	these are just hilarious
neekafat 01.05.18	Lol Friv good one
Papa Universe 01.05.18	It's as if Hannah Diamond is an alien passing by, only capable of communicating through vomiting blood violently and shrieking in pain, but her human form prevents her from doing that, so she does this instead.
Ryus 01.05.18	pink and blue: 4/5 banger
Slut 01.05.18	i cant contain my laughter please keep going
Frivolous 01.05.18	"I don't think he's feeling anything from the neck down, Ken" applies really well to this situation
Rigma 01.05.18	i think we get it uni
Papa Universe 01.05.18	It's like listening to one of those YouTube memes like: "A Walmart jingle, but every time it's annoying, and every time it's generic, a sudden throat-shredding scream appears", but sped up so that its length fits into the song's actual runtime.
Papa Universe 01.05.18	It's like Sinternet, but music.
Papa Universe 01.05.18	It's like if you give one of those talentless kids from Musical.ly a shot at an actual music career... oh wait...
Papa Universe 01.05.18	Hey, at least she doesn't sing about Fridays.
Frivolous 01.05.18	https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e5/50/4c/e5504cd383f031916ad11bdcada484a1.jpg
Papa Universe 01.05.18	Funny thing, in about two years' time the only place you'll ever hear her music at is at Friday's.
Frivolous 01.05.18	i'd say something like 'please continue' very sarcastically but i'm worried you wouldnt be able to pick up on it
Snake. 01.05.18	"The musical equivalent of 16 Pabst Blue Ribbons, a willing and aspiring stripper, and a Porterhouse Steak." what the fuck that is literally not what that song sounds like because that sounds utterly fucking depressing which that song very is not
Dedes 01.05.18	Uni are you mentally ok
Papa Universe 01.05.18	@kingdedethefifth: not really, I heard that song and it gave me a cerebrovascular stroke.
Papa Universe 01.05.18	Ever just ate a lemon? Well, this is that, but in musical form.
Slut 01.05.18	ha ha
Papa Universe 01.05.18	Do you know what happens to a split personality patient if untreated? One of the personalities may take over the other and become "in charge". With this rec I am convinced that DarkTyler has completely devoured the original Tyler and there is no way to tell for the rest of us, but he is now dedicated to subtly ruining the world. Step by step, till the end. Brick by brick, till the house is built. Kero by Kero, till Bonito shows up.
Papa Universe 01.05.18	Is a dog happy about successfully eating its own shit? Maybe, but shit is always just shit, no matter how intentional.
Papa Universe 01.05.18	Ever listened to Backwards Music Station? Turns out, once a year it randomly plays this song. Interestingly enough, pure BMS junkies still can't tell the difference.
Papa Universe 01.05.18	If you were to play this over the occupied territories in Syria, ISIS would have surrendered, because they'd known that Allah was dead.
Papa Universe 01.05.18	Had this been released in the 60s, the hippie era would have been immediately over, because the young people would recognise that there is no hope for humanity.
Papa Universe 01.05.18	Some anime creators reviewed this song as their theme and said that they were making a product for dignified, grounded and for modest people of higher standards. They also went on to convert to christianity, because only a miracle of god could wipe their souls clean now.
50iL 01.05.18	Pink and Blue wasn’t half bad, cmon. 3.2/5
Dylan620 01.05.18	Gavin Clark - "Bermondsey Stutter" One of the most understatedly heartwrenching and beautiful songs of all time.
neekafat 01.05.18	"i mean that's what i just said but yeah" That's basically every conversation with Unique tbh
Papa Universe 01.05.18	I was seconding his words with an analogy. Humans have a tendency to feel better, when they have a backup.
Slut 01.05.18	insightful
Papa Universe 01.05.18	Ooh. Last one: It's like Oingo Boingo's "Little Girls", same ideology, but perspective of those little girls.
Dewinged 01.05.18	So how this works? I have to rate all songs up to today and then daily? And then rec one myself?
neekafat 01.05.18	Nah you don't have to rate old ones, not sure even yet if I'm adding votes for previous days (probably no) But yeah rate the one for today and then rec one (:
Dewinged 01.05.18	Ok Neek, I'll give it a go, need to think about the rec too, tx man.
BlushfulHippocrene 01.05.18	Pink and Blue was so great. Not my favourite from Hannah, but a jam nonetheless: 3.6/5.
neekafat 01.05.18	Blush no ):
Papa Universe 01.05.18	Let him go, Neek. He's too far gone anyway.
BlushfulHippocrene 01.05.18	Forgive me. What if I recited ten Hail Shawns and jammed A Few Small Repairs?
neekafat 01.05.18	If you give it a rating finally then all will be forgiven (;
Frivolous 01.05.18	soon it will be time for a proper Eyesore
neekafat 01.05.18	ayyyy
neekafat 01.05.18	Wait did woaah just get deleted?
Frivolous 01.05.18	one of sach's various alts, so yes
neekafat 01.05.18	Hmmmmmm might just leave his rec up anyway
neekafat 01.05.18	Updated btw!
neekafat 01.05.18	Oh also you're welcome Dewinged, missed ya there!
Dewinged 01.05.18	No prob yo. I am listening to that Women song now, really tight, love the post punk, psyche vibe I get from it. I am giving it a solid 4.0. My rec will be Savages - The Answer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvvhHT0B5ck "The Answer" is a wild and speedy 3/4 ride through the obsessions of sick love. Don't mind the moshpit full of hipsters in the video, don't be fooled with the lack of raw metal in a name like "Savages". The rage is there, the bile is there, so let that chaotic drumming take over and give yourself in to this song's abrasive charm.
Frippertronics 01.05.18	In keeping with the bitter cold at home, my rec will leave some chilled John Cale - Damn Life (Music for a New Society) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udCpoQ9kL3Y Produced during a rough time in Cale's life, Damn Life and its respective album finds Cale scaling down to just himself and his piano, with a limited range of instruments included. Mostly a by-product of his cocaine-fueled depression, Damn Life is almost seemingly Cale projecting his insecurities and fears into a grueling paen to the person Cale is singing about (and of course, lifting the finale to Ode to Joy for the song's structure, albeit subverted to increase the song's palpable melancholy).
neekafat 01.05.18	wya Fripp?
Papa Universe 01.05.18	Rating for Eyesore: I might be the only person in the world who prefers Preoccupations over Women. But that is not to say that Women didn't have damn fantastic tunes in their catalogue. Eyesore is just one of them. 4/5
BlazinBlitzer 01.05.18	During the start of Eyesore: It kinda reminds me of Radiohead's "Let Down" for some reason, and that's fairly promising. During the end of Eyesore: Oooohhhhhhh Goddd I have been enlightennnneeeedddd. 4.8/5
ZombieToyDuck 01.05.18	here's my pink and blue rating: 2/5 on a side note here's my song rec is Melt-banana- The Hive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcqC8LSoBws Raucous riffage, vibrant melody and pulsating with rhythm, The Hive compacts all the elements that make Melt-banana one of the most intriguing bands to ever come out of Japan. Melt-Banana flawlessly blend grind and noise rock with throbbing bass lines, frantic guitar riffs and high-pitched spastic vocals. The Hive is like the first time you tried a sour warhead, its an abrasive experience with a sweet candy center. You'll find yourself surrendering to its boisterous sonic splendor in no time.
ZombieToyDuck 01.05.18	gunna rate eyesore shortly
ZombieToyDuck 01.05.18	eyesore gets a 3.6/5 from me
neekafat 01.05.18	Updated! And yah Eyesore is a 3.7 imo, some great psych instrumentation but it really doesn't have to be seven minutes long and the vocals aren't really my cup of tea. Great song otherwise tho!
Dylan620 01.05.18	"Eyesore" gets a 3.2 from me, I like it but it kinda drags and I'm with neek on the vocals. Nice vibe though. Maybe it'll grow in the long run?
BlackMalachite 01.05.18	Black Veil Brides - Shadows Die - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTjhXDudSVA One of the best tracks the band has ever done, utilizing multiple vocal features, haunting female choirs, heavy Avenged Sevenfold influence, much darker undertones about religious persecution and gorgeous production values, Shadows Die is what happens when the band lets their influences hang out proud for all the world to see.
Papa Universe 01.05.18	well, seems like I will have to jam BVB in this life after all
ZombieToyDuck 01.05.18	add my song rec please!
teamster 01.05.18	Jakob - Blind Them With Science https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4ovUVNs4VY If you check my iTunes library and sort songs by most played - this leads the list. The ending of this song, the crescendo sends chills down my spine. The fact that this band nearly called it quits (check their story) right before this album adds some humanization to what is other-worldly sounding instrumental post rock/metal.
BlazinBlitzer 01.05.18	Ok, I think I got a little too excited about Eyesore on the first few listens... some sections do drag on very lightly. Still an emotional rollercoaster, nonetheless. New Rating: 4.4/5
neekafat 01.05.18	Oh shit sorry Zombie! Loving all the recs pouring in, this is doing better than I expected (:
Drifter 01.05.18	@teamster lemmed check then
neekafat 01.05.18	Updateddddd I hope I didn't influence your decision Blitzer
BlazinBlitzer 01.05.18	You didn't :). I just happened to notice while listening again that the part from 1:50 to 2:20 overstayed its welcome and the part from 3:30 to 4:30 could've been sped up. The vocals are beyond outstanding, imo.
neekafat 01.05.18	I for sure gotta listen again!
Rigma 01.06.18	public strain 3.6/5
Kompys2000 01.06.18	Eyesore- 3.8 Did this really come out in 2010? It sounds like it could've been recorded any time between 50 years ago and yesterday. Overall, a very warm, comforting song sonically, but those lyrics are strangely dark... Still, I hate to jump on the "it's too long" bandwagon, but I definitely think a minute or two could have been trimmed off without much of value being lost.
BlushfulHippocrene 01.06.18	Oh man, Eyesore is amazing. I think it definitely justifies its length, that little bridge section and outro are marvellously hypnotic. 4.3
neekafat 01.06.18	Glad you're enjoying the songs so far Blush! (:
Dewinged 01.06.18	Today's Come On track is wonderfully raw and exalted. That clang clang clang hammering in the beginning is so good. 4.1, I'd revisit.
Papa Universe 01.06.18	mah man
neekafat 01.06.18	Sorry it's not Jan 6th in the US of A yet so I won't be adding that till the morn :/
BlushfulHippocrene 01.06.18	Much preferred this version: https://comeonnyc.bandcamp.com/track/dont-walk-on-the-kitchen-floor (the YouTube one made me feel deaf in one ear), but that was so great. Really mesmeric/pulsating groove on that thing. Let's go with a 3.8, I'm excited to check the album.
Tunaboy45 01.06.18	digging today's track, no surprises since I'm a post-punk whore
Papa Universe 01.06.18	^ this guy I like
Papa Universe 01.06.18	also, thank you Blushful. I have the vinyl, so I threw in the link just for the formality's sake.
BlushfulHippocrene 01.06.18	I understand, mate. Just read your review for it, very nicely done.
BlushfulHippocrene 01.06.18	Joanna Newsom - Leaving the City (from the album Divers) The drums kick in at about 1:20 on this one, after which the groove is unrelenting: the interplay between Joanna, her harp, and whatever else is thrown into the mix is beautiful and jaw-dropping. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keke7BGzJPI
Papa Universe 01.06.18	nice pick yourself
Frivolous 01.06.18	3.9 / 5 for come on, p good track
Pheromone 01.06.18	Long Fin Killie - Godiva Crazy indie rock from the scots, absolutely insane percussion mixed with some fantastic lyricism from novelist Luke Sutherland. I love this album, it's a crazy sound which I have never heard before and this song kicks it off better than anything else could have. It's cathartic, energetic and still sounds perfectly unique to this day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLRdiMGXMLw
Pheromone 01.06.18	4 for come on, I rate hard. v eerie
Dylan620 01.06.18	Imma slap a 5 on "Godiva" ahead of time, nice pick Phero
Pheromone 01.06.18	Ayy cheers Dyl bro
neekafat 01.07.18	Updated! Unique's rec is a 4.0 tbh, some really fun and lightweight post-punk, nothing super substantial but just an enjoyable tune through and through Also I guess we're not doing genre tags anymore lol
BlushfulHippocrene 01.07.18	Uh, genre... Let's go with chamber-folk/art-pop?
budgie 01.07.18	https://lilletblanc.bandcamp.com/ lillet blance - be new cute 50's-throwback bedroom lo-fi indie dreampop. cute and sassy.
budgie 01.07.18	also i'll give a hard four to #11
neekafat 01.07.18	Idek if I'm gonna keep adding them blush haha! I guess I'll add that rating on January 13th lol
BlushfulHippocrene 01.07.18	Haha, fair enough!! I kinda like the surprise; this is like being in an extended dubtrack session.
neekafat 01.07.18	Yeah exactly! It's not too hard to tell either by people's descriptions anyway (; So glad people seem to be enjoying this so far (:
Kompys2000 01.07.18	rating for Don't Walk on the Kitchen Floor: 3.9 I definitely dig the instrumentation, especially the guitar, but the vocals aren't really my cup of tea. I have super weird taste in singers though so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
ArsMoriendi 01.07.18	Blow Job by Bruce Haack This song is negative as fuck, but also really good, been listening to Haackula lately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0j7-LzmR_8
BlazinBlitzer 01.07.18	Don't Walk on the Kitchen Floor: Wait, was this made in the late 70's and released in '99 or was it made and released in '99? Either way, the production breathes hella life into this song and there's a unique punk/hard rock mix sound here with a lot to like about the instruments and songwriting. 4.1/5
Kompys2000 01.07.18	^Agreed, the production is pretty bomb. It was actually made in '78, they also did a remaster of it a few months ago that sounds even better IMO.
BlushfulHippocrene 01.07.18	After blasting The House that Heaven Built four times over, I see a glimpse of its greatness. I wish I liked it more -- I think I would if I wasn't so lame -- but for what it's worth, I liked it a /lot/: 3.5.
Papa Universe 01.07.18	The House That Heaven Built rating: I'm a little torn on this song, honestly. I can hear it's fantastic. I can hear the striking musicianship there. I cn hear it all. But it just slips away by this much. It is definitely an enjoyable tune, but I just can quite keep tight grip on it. I don't know why. 3.5/5
BlazinBlitzer 01.07.18	The House that Heaven Built: Kinda reminds me of "The Deepest Sighs/The Frankest Shadows" by Gang of Youths if cheesier and more generic. It's got a chock full of energy, however, and it definitely isn't missing an ounce of that. The singer and instruments are just revved up and ready to go. 3.7/5
neekafat 01.08.18	I kinda dug that song but at the same time I felt like it was the same 30 seconds repeating over and over ten times, 3.2/5
Drifter 01.08.18	The problem is, after tomorrow, I have nothing to look forward to :(
neekafat 01.08.18	You haven't even noticed I've been deleting all your comments lol
Drifter 01.08.18	I noticed once. I had to repost the 4th one I believe. why tho lol
neekafat 01.08.18	Idk I thought it was funny haha
Kompys2000 01.08.18	Japandroids song is a hard 3.5, Has great energy but never really does anything particularly interesting with it.
neekafat 01.08.18	Good shit we need some more votes on this one
Frippertronics 01.08.18	gonna join in for the tour of the Chocolate Factory tbh
neekafat 01.08.18	Go ahead and vote now boo
Papa Universe 01.08.18	So the further we go, the less people vote.
BlushfulHippocrene 01.08.18	I liked Step In The Name Of Love a whole lot more than I thought I would... 3.7, that beat was infectious.
Drifter 01.08.18	And he made it too! Nice Blush!
neekafat 01.08.18	Figured as much Drifter doesn't even vote :/
Dewinged 01.08.18	Gonna be late with Japandroids but wait for me brethen.
ZombieToyDuck 01.08.18	I gotta play catch up on this at some point today
neekafat 01.08.18	Gotta get it up before I count the AVG (;
ZombieToyDuck 01.08.18	sigh... well ill at least do today!
Drifter 01.08.18	Yay
Drifter 01.08.18	And I'm not old enough to vote
Pheromone 01.08.18	I'll vote in a sec gimme 5 secs before i vote in a sec
Drifter 01.08.18	Make sure y'all listen to the original not the remix
Pheromone 01.08.18	Japandroids - idk how hard I can fuck w the happy sing along punk that japandroids do, it's not bad by any means but I just can't rly get into it. They did a Gun Club cover tho on the same album so +0.5 for that - 3.5 R.Kelly - 3/5 there's no gun club cover but it's chill
Papa Universe 01.08.18	R. Kelly - Step In the Name of Love rating: uuuuuuuuuggghhh... listen, I just really don't like this kind of Pop/RnB/whatever. It's all kitsch and tacky. I feel like someone poured cheap non-alcoholic champagne down my throat. Sorry. 1.5/5
ZombieToyDuck 01.08.18	A little cheese to this R. Kelly track but not enough to be offensive by any means. The groove here was really mellow and the guitar melodies that come in and out with those funky bass bits blend really nicely with R. Kelly's vocals (which the more I hear his vocals the more I enjoy them tbh). A solid 3.8/5 for me
Frivolous 01.08.18	the house that heaven built - 3.1 step in the name of love - 4.1
Drifter 01.08.18	At least he wrote it right uni? Glad others are enjoying it tho
neekafat 01.08.18	I'm just not fan of this repetitive mid-tempo R&B that Drifter seems to continuously live in, but I will say it's a pretty nice and groovy tune, the vocals are lit too so idk, 3.2 I guess
Drifter 01.08.18	Friv, zombie, and blush are cool peeps
neekafat 01.09.18	Oh I missed that one
BlazinBlitzer 01.09.18	I kinda enjoy R. Kelly's voice, it's just nothing special 3.2/5
neekafat 01.09.18	[2]
Dewinged 01.09.18	About Japandroids, solid party rock track, it didn't make me crazy but it's alright. 3.6.
Drifter 01.09.18	"I kinda enjoy R. Kelly's voice, it's just nothing special" What the actual fuck?? Dewi check mine yo it's for today
Dewinged 01.09.18	The R. Kelly is fucking sexy, good stuff Drifter. 4.0.
Drifter 01.09.18	:D
neekafat 01.09.18	Updooted
Drifter 01.09.18	I rate mine as 5/5 (you rated yours add mine!!!)
neekafat 01.09.18	...I'm deleting my vote because it only served as an example and no one else has rated theirs since
Dewinged 01.09.18	tomorrow Gospel, oh dear...
Drifter 01.09.18	K
BlazinBlitzer 01.09.18	Where my vote at, neeka?
Drifter 01.09.18	Gospel rule @dewi
Dewinged 01.09.18	They surely do my friend, they surely do.
neekafat 01.09.18	It's up fam
Drifter 01.09.18	Do the average for mine yo
BlazinBlitzer 01.09.18	It's 3.31 with 8 votes.
neekafat 01.09.18	Golden Dawn was really fucking good 4.4
Papa Universe 01.09.18	Gospel - A Golden Dawn rating: What a shredding experience this was. I completely didn't mind it lasted 9 minutes, because the time was completely justified. It was such a goddamn pulsating track. Damn. 4.5/5
neekafat 01.09.18	Ayyyyyy it's still weird when we completely agree on something
BlushfulHippocrene 01.10.18	A good song, but not something I found particularly stirring. Will return to it sometime, though, I definitely see the appeal. 3/5
Dewinged 01.10.18	I've already heard Gospel before so my rating is clear: 4.7 Not my favourite track of the album but man, the whole thing is a masterpiece.
neekafat 01.10.18	Blush ):
Papa Universe 01.10.18	Kuroki Nagisa - Kumari rating: This is a beautifully eccentric piece that may start off too odd and hard-to-figure-out but ends up a playful, ridiculously catchy tune with a refreshing myriad of oddball instrumentation. 4.0/5
BlushfulHippocrene 01.10.18	Alright, I did /not/ expect that. Had me nodding my head right from the get go. Uni's desciption is perfect. Hasty 4.5/5, I love this so, so, so much.
ZombieToyDuck 01.10.18	I know im late but golden dawn is an easy 4.6 for me Uni had it right on target with that description also Kuroki Nagisa was super entertaining and loadsss of fun 4.2/5
Pheromone 01.10.18	Gospel - 4.5 loved that might have to check the album Kuroki Nagisa - 4.0 loved that might have to check the EP good picks :)
neekafat 01.10.18	Finally updated lol And yeah, that was really great. I didn't know it when I heard it though :/ 4.3
Dedes 01.10.18	Minotaur-Karybdis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZJqUnEu2p8 Honestly this just kind of owns so yeah check it 4/5
neekafat 01.10.18	is 4/5 for that song or for today's song?
50iL 01.10.18	Bruhhh Golden Dawn has always been a 5/5, I think I said it before Glad y’all enjoyed my song! I’ll get beck on this list tomorrow, sorry, been busy
BlackMalachite 01.10.18	Bumping because this list rules.
neekafat 01.10.18	Thanks bud (: @50iL no worries dude, and yeah it ruled!
Pheromone 01.10.18	Could u change my rating for today's to 4.7 pls I've spun the EP 3 times since hearing it, Ty xx
neekafat 01.10.18	Lol of course dude
Frivolous 01.10.18	gospel - 3.5 kuroki - 4.3
neekafat 01.10.18	Ughhhhh still don't know how I feel about late submissions
Pheromone 01.10.18	U feel good about them
ZombieToyDuck 01.10.18	you should take em if you want a decent amount of ratings man haha people tend to be late with submissions on this site
Frivolous 01.10.18	sorry, been busy neeka < 3
Pheromone 01.10.18	I'm still in the midst of a 'review a given album' contest from 2014
neekafat 01.10.18	I guessssss < 3
BlazinBlitzer 01.10.18	Kumari: It may feel a little standard in some parts but you just can't deny the creative instrumental choices here. They make it kinda "bouncy", which can be interchanged with "jammin'", "headbanging", "catchy", etc. 3.8/5
neekafat 01.10.18	Love the horns yeah
ZombieToyDuck 01.10.18	this list deserves more attention bud this was a brilliant idea
Pheromone 01.10.18	[2]
Dewinged 01.11.18	Kuroki Nagisa: This is what I'm talking about!! Jesus this was great. 50il's the boss: 4.8
neekafat 01.11.18	You guys are making me grin love you all < 3
BlushfulHippocrene 01.11.18	Exeunt is a beautiful track (great description, Rigma): 3.7. I might miss tomorrow's track; excited to see what you guys have to say about it, however. I'll listen to it another time.
BlazinBlitzer 01.11.18	"the band is able to progress emotion through simplicity." Exactly. How do you make folk so original and emotional in just two and a half minutes? 4.5/5
ZombieToyDuck 01.11.18	Exeunt: A fairly short but very sweet track with a massive sound. The upbeat leanings of the instrumentals paired with some lovely vocals, impressive drumming, meaningful lyricism and an infectious energy are wonderful. 4.2/5
ZombieToyDuck 01.11.18	can't wait for you all to experience melt-banana
Papa Universe 01.11.18	I don't think I'll like it. I only like bananas fresh or in pudding.
ZombieToyDuck 01.11.18	What about banana bread and other baked banana goods? They are melted in a sense when those are made.
Papa Universe 01.11.18	ew
ZombieToyDuck 01.11.18	banana bread is ew???? are you even human?
neekafat 01.11.18	Yeah Exeunt was really good, although I was a bit unconvinced by the more traditional folk vocals (which I'm generally not a fan of) and the opening musical spasms seemed more distracting than anything. The instrumentation afterwards of the first minute was excellent though, and the lyrics are pretty cool gonna go with a 3.8
neekafat 01.11.18	also "banana bread is ew???? are you even human?" [2]
Papa Universe 01.11.18	garlic bread > banana bread
Drifter 01.11.18	"banana bread is ew???? are you even human?" [3]
Papa Universe 01.11.18	garlic bread!
neekafat 01.11.18	get out of my thread
Papa Universe 01.11.18	make me, you bananazi
ZombieToyDuck 01.11.18	garlic bread is choice too but banana bread is the shit I bake a mean banana bread tbh
ZombieToyDuck 01.11.18	I once made a banana bread bottom cheesecake and it was so damn tasty
ZombieToyDuck 01.11.18	and yeah I like to bake FIGHT ME
Papa Universe 01.11.18	garlic bread is no choice. it is a lifestyle
ZombieToyDuck 01.11.18	cheesy garlic bread or no dice imo
Papa Universe 01.11.18	once you go garlic, you never go back...lic
Frivolous 01.11.18	the oh hellos - 4.7/5 goddamn
Papa Universe 01.11.18	The Oh Hellos - Exeunt rating: A beautiful track that manages to go on such a hill slide and climb in just barely 3 minutes. I only wish it was longer and really expanded upon that wavy aesthetic. 4/5
ZombieToyDuck 01.11.18	once you go garlic, you never go back...lic you're really reaching there with that one Uni
Rigma 01.11.18	o yea forgot it was oh hellos day, glad u guys like it
Drifter 01.11.18	"garlic bread is choice too but banana bread is the shit I bake a mean banana bread tbh" send me some bb garlic bread can be good but sometimes it can be not so great
50iL 01.11.18	"This is what I'm talking about!! Jesus this was great. 50il's the boss: 4.8" Fuck yeah! Glad you enjoyed my guy :)
butcherboy 01.11.18	the band - Puke Spit and Guts the album - Eat Hot Lead the song - You Ain't Never the link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjvTiAY3_AQ the verdict - 5/5
Drifter 01.11.18	I wonder if i'll have the biggest difference in ratings
Rigma 01.12.18	19th will be interesting
neekafat 01.12.18	[2] "Avenged Sevenfold influences" sound tantalizing tho
Kompys2000 01.12.18	Fuuuuuuck I've been sick and busy and busy and sick and have barely been on Sput since Saturday and I'm just now catching up soooo Step in the Name of Love- 3.4/5, cheesy in a good way. Definitely a groovy track, but I just can't fully enjoy it knowing all the messed-up stuff this guy did... A Golden Dawn- 3.9, I'm not a big fan of screamo in general but this was pretty tight. The musicianship is top-notch, the song is well-structured and the vocals (again, I'm not much of a screamo guy) only dragged it down a bit for me. Still, the long track length made it feel like a bit of a slog- not nearly as much of a slog as it would have been in less capable hands, mind you, but a slog nonetheless. Kumari- 4.6, where do I even start with this one? It flipped so many 180s it practically left me dizzy, yet somehow the whole thing managed to feel somewhat musically coherent. I literally laughed out loud when that trumpet solo hit after the first chorus, it was so absurd and out-of-nowhere in the best way possible. I honestly can't remember the last time a song surprised me this much. Also I can't find translated lyrics for this anywhere and it's driving me insane. Exeunt- 3.7 this was really nice, it sounds like Of Monsters and Men, but better (And I like Of Monsters and Men!). While I admire their restraint in keeping this song so short, it feels like it would have been even better if it had had an extra minute or two to really build up some steam.
Kompys2000 01.12.18	Also yay, my rec is tomorrow! Pls be gentle you guyssss
neekafat 01.12.18	Yeah I'm not a screamo guy either but I was blown away by that track
neekafat 01.12.18	Yayyyy! (:
50iL 01.12.18	Exeunt - FUUUUUCK, so good. Never thought I’d listen to indie folk in 7/4 that made me feel so at home. I’ve heard of other stuff by The Oh Hellos which is stunning, and this doesn’t disappoint. 4.3
neekafat 01.12.18	"diesappoint" new bm album?
50iL 01.12.18	Nah, seems like a cringey nu-metal revival album name for me haha
neekafat 01.12.18	Yeah you right!
Dewinged 01.12.18	Exeunt is... wow. In only 2 minutes conveys so much feeling and meaning that it's just ridiculous. Great track, Rigma: 4.5 I'll be sure to check the album. I am honestly impressed with everyone's picks so far.
neekafat 01.12.18	Yeah dudes great job so far! except tyler...
Papa Universe 01.12.18	It's his fault he chose a song that sounds like a falsetto instructor being grinded by a set of drills.
Pheromone 01.12.18	Exeunt - 3.7 I agree with the guy who said it'd be nice if this had an extra minute or so to complete it for me, but as it is it's a great folk track for sure. I might check the album. Nice pick Rig
Rigma 01.12.18	If you want a little extra, the track preceding Exeunt (In the Blue Hours of the Morning) serves as an little intro, if you want another 30 seconds tacked on
neekafat 01.12.18	Don't start again Papa....
ZombieToyDuck 01.12.18	Silver Gallows 3.6 A solid and enjoyable track but it didn't blow me away either
neekafat 01.12.18	[2] but I really liked it too haha 4.0
BlazinBlitzer 01.12.18	Hey, I know it sounds like I'm making an unfair push for my track or something of the like, but 50iL rated "Golden Dawn" a 5/5 earlier.
neekafat 01.12.18	Oh shit sorry I missed that fam will add
Papa Universe 01.12.18	aw, you called butch 'butcherbabe'
Papa Universe 01.12.18	Moon Tooth - Silver Gallows rating: This is one of those rare occasions of a song seeming disorganised, but managing to turn that into its advantage. It is definitely a hard-hitting and moving piece that usues heaviness in combination with sweet melody to create a conflicting, but ultimately touching experience. 4.5
Kompys2000 01.12.18	Glad to hear you liked it uni :)
Frivolous 01.12.18	moon tooth - 2.8 not really my kind of sludge, nor am i a fan of the vox :(
Kompys2000 01.13.18	Lol yeah the vocals are an acquired taste for sure
neekafat 01.13.18	boiii
butcherboy 01.13.18	i'll get into the rotation of listening and rating these songs starting tomorrow..
neekafat 01.13.18	Don't believe your lies anymore :/
butcherboy 01.13.18	I WILL change and you WILL like it!!!
BlazinBlitzer 01.13.18	Silver Gallows: The musicianship is fantastic and I like the premise of taking something seemingly generic and clutter it into eternal disorganization, but the execution just wasn’t there. Despite its shortness, the track dragged pretty badly, and I just can’t get past the jaggedness of it all. 2.9/5
neekafat 01.13.18	When you're ready, I'll be here waiting < 3
budgie 01.13.18	aw you never added mine
neekafat 01.13.18	Oh shit man I'm sorry, I don't think I saw it ):
Frivolous 01.13.18	grimes - 4.5/5 this that good shit
Papa Universe 01.13.18	Grimes - Kill v Maim rating: There is certainly to it, but I just cannot get into her vocals at all. One of the main reasons that album didn't really sit well with me. 3
neekafat 01.13.18	"There is certainly to it"?
Papa Universe 01.13.18	*certainly something to it
neekafat 01.13.18	ayyyy will check/update soon
neekafat 01.14.18	I liked that way more than I should, fuck it 4.1
Dedes 01.14.18	Lol the band name is Karbydis, the song is Minotaur. The album is their first album I forget the name
Kompys2000 01.14.18	Kill V Maim- 2.9 I certainly appreciate the sort of weird, hyper-manufactured pop thing Grimes is going for here, but there's just something fundamentally annoying about this that I can't seem to put my finger on (same goes for the video).
BlushfulHippocrene 01.14.18	If you'll allow me to be a tad late: Silver Gallows 3.0 - I liked it a lot for a song I'd otherwise have no interest in (due to the genre, though I might fix that); love, love, loved the production so that might have had something to do with it. Kill V. Maim 2.0 - ...I did not expect to dislike this, particularly because I love a lot of other Grimes I've heard. The chorus never quite hit me, and that's disappointing. Perhaps it'll grow on me. I hope so. Fake 1.8 ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Dylan620 01.14.18	I should probably play catch-up with these though idk if my ratings for 4 through 11 will count at this point
Frivolous 01.14.18	fake 1.7 woah man, he sure is angry
Papa Universe 01.14.18	Heavyweight - Fake rating: uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh 1
Papa Universe 01.14.18	This song sounds like a cyclic vomiting syndrome patient going on a rant about anything that crosses his mind, but due to the brain damage the syndrome gave him, he cannot form a cohesive thought.
Papa Universe 01.14.18	It sounds like a fart so furious it gained consciousness and went on to start an autopsy career.
Pheromone 01.14.18	Sorry wasn't able to do these past few days. Grimes - 3 it definitely isn't bad but it doesn't really interest me, I don't think I get the hype :( Heavyweight - 1.5 oh gosh
neekafat 01.14.18	I guess they will Dylan but I hate having to reconfigure avgs every time someone misses a day lol
neekafat 01.14.18	This is why I don't go out of my way to listen to extreme metal :/ 2.0
Frivolous 01.14.18	most of it doesn't sound this bad tbh
Kompys2000 01.14.18	Fake- 1.6 wow that guitar tone sounds like ass
Dewinged 01.15.18	I really felt behind with this sorry! So: 1. Moon Tooth - Really well crafted, kind of proggy, really good execution and melodies, I can dig stuff like that easily. 4.0 2. Grimes - I am more of a fan of early Grimes tbh, although like tuna said, it's impossible to not get pumped with this track. 3.9 for the cool video too. 3. Heavyweight - So this is the "slam" thing? Well, yeah, nope. 2.0. Don't worry on updating old ratings neeka, I know it's a pain.
DarkTyler 01.15.18	pink and blue is a 5/5
neekafat 01.15.18	No worries dewi, I'll get to it at some point < 3
neekafat 01.15.18	gimme da info and I'll put it up
neekafat 01.15.18	Thanks fam (;
50iL 01.15.18	Hey, sorry for missing Neeka. Moon Tooth - 3.9, goddamn nice riffage and interesting song structure, although it isn’t really my thing I was definitely surprised Grimes - 2.7, not my thing at all, at least it was interesting at points Heavyweight- 1.7, blegh
Kompys2000 01.15.18	Men of taste itt
Papa Universe 01.15.18	Gavin Clark - Bermondsey Stutter rating: Holy fuck... 5
Pheromone 01.15.18	Gavin Clark - 4.5 Jeeze man, that's haunting. I loved that. Nice one, Dyl
Frivolous 01.15.18	gavin clark - 3.6 decent tune
ZombieToyDuck 01.15.18	Gavin Clark- 3.5 pretty solid and mellow little track
neekafat 01.15.18	updooted Gavin Clark - Lovely acoustic driven folk track, achingly beautiful, but it spends a bit too much time on its vague chorus for me to derive any personal meaning from it - 4.1
BlackMalachite 01.15.18	Gavin Clark - 3.3. Decent song but didn't really grip me too much
Kompys2000 01.16.18	Bermondsey Stutter- 4/5 great little bit of sadboi folk. There's not much to it, but I'd say that simplicity really works to the song's advantage.
Dewinged 01.16.18	Bermondsey Stutter - Goddammit that was beautiful. 4.2
BlushfulHippocrene 01.16.18	Bermondsey Stutter is so beautiful: 4.1
ramon. 01.16.18	idk if ur still takin recs but here's a weird combo of ridiculously destructive grind and really pretty mathy post that shouldnt work but does (unless it doesnt but w/e floates ur boates). also best song title of all time Beaten to Death - “Papyrus Containing the Spell to Summon the Breath of Life Enshrined in the Collected Scrolls of Sheryl Crow” https://youtu.be/KYue0EPej6w
neekafat 01.16.18	Always taking more recs, probably until the end of the year if this keeps going
neekafat 01.16.18	lol you got it bud
BlazinBlitzer 01.16.18	Imma play a great game of catchup. Here we go: "Kill v. Maim": I'm quite intrigued with the 90's pop vocalist influences, especially in the vocal production during the verses. The song boasts a fun and catchy hook, but I feel like the central beat would've been better on a slower track. It almost sounds sped up like it's trying far too hard to reach the pacing of the vocalist and the lyrics. Also, no more screeching, please? Thank you. 3.6/5 "Fake": :/....Why does the bass drum sounds like a goddamn typewriter? How do you fuck up production that bad? That being said, I don't really think it's the worst thing ever or anything. It sounds like it's not taking itself too seriously but... being awful is still being awful so it has that going against it. 1.7/5 "Bermondsey Stutter": "great little bit of sadboi folk. There's not much to it, but I'd say that simplicity really works to the song's advantage." [2] 3.9/5 "The Answer": This is a fairly unique and enjoyable song that sounds like a crossover between Chelsea Wolfe and stoner metal. As Dewi mentioned the drumming is absolutely fantastic and the first couple of minutes are indeed quite the ride. There is a lack of "evolving" in the song, however, that kinda irritates me and I think it's where the vocals and the instruments feel like they're set at a default and they only go past that a couple of short-lived times (check 1:40 to 2:00). It's still a pretty great track to jam. 3.8/5
Kompys2000 01.16.18	The Answer- 3.8 This is pretty awesome, 3/4 is a very underused time signature in heavy music IMO. I kind of wish the vocals were just a bit more unhinged, to mach the ferocity of the instrumentation, but overall this is a damn solid thrasher.
neekafat 01.16.18	The Answer- Yeah basically what Blitzer said, really good song and I love the vocals, but the instrumentation just seems to go on over and over again and really could've been way shorter tbh. Still, really fun song overall 3.7
neekafat 01.17.18	come on, I know five more of you are gonna forget and submit late (;
Frivolous 01.17.18	3.9 for the answer
neekafat 01.17.18	Quite right my good man
Dewinged 01.17.18	I obviously dig The Answer quite a lot, so 4.7 for me. Not perfect but almost!
neekafat 01.17.18	Sorry my dude, but the person who rec'd doesn't get a vote anymore!
BigPleb 01.17.18	Cool idea for a list.
neekafat 01.17.18	Thanks fam (: Care to suggest a song?
BlushfulHippocrene 01.17.18	My lord, The Answer is sick: 3.8. On repeat.
BigPleb 01.17.18	Sure neeka! Gama Bomb - Zombie Blood Nightmare https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d47rb5HGaVo It's off the Citizen Brain album. Short and sweet thrash with a killer hook.
Frippertronics 01.17.18	a wee bit behind, so here are some of my votes (quick question, are we allowed to rec more songs, or are we limited to one day?) Step in the Name of Love - 3.3 A Golden Dawn - 4.2 Kumari - 3.6 Exuent - 3.6 Silver Gallows - 2.9 Kill v. Maim - 1.8 Fake - 1.9 Bermondsey Stutter - 4.3 The Answer - 3.5
Dewinged 01.17.18	I would give access to more people to suggest but if we get close to the final date I say we go on with a second one, nah?
ZombieToyDuck 01.17.18	Damn Life- 2.8 Eh this track didn't really do anything for me if I'm honest. I didn't care for the vocals and although the instrumentals were solid I never really felt hooked at any point.
BlazinBlitzer 01.17.18	Damn Life - Woah. 4.3/5
Kompys2000 01.17.18	Damn Life- 4/5 damn yeah this is awesome, love the synth-y background and the production on the vocals.
neekafat 01.17.18	Yeah I'll allow second recs once we start running out of days, but I'm hoping that doesn't happen for a while!
Dylan620 01.17.18	Honestly I'm pleasantly surprised the reception to "Bermondsey Stutter" was so positive, glad (almost) all y'all enjoyed
neekafat 01.17.18	I'm thinking of cutting back late rating til a week back. So you can rate a song you missed, but if it's more than a week before today I won't add it to the AVG What y'all think?
ZombieToyDuck 01.17.18	sounds good neeka!
Papa Universe 01.17.18	Savages - The Answer rating: Frenzied, purposefully chaotic and psychotic track. One of my biggest highlights off of the album, so good pick. 4.5 John Cale - Damn Life rating: This is also frenzied, purposefully chaotic and quite definitely psychotic, but all to a whole different effect, one that is rather somewhat underwhelming, to be fully honest. 3
Frivolous 01.17.18	john cale 3.1 meh
DinosaurJones 01.17.18	(REC) Nine Inch Nails - Zero-Sum (from Year Zero) The apocalypse is always where the big money is at, but the post-apocalypse is when the real regrets start pouring in.
neekafat 01.17.18	I'm giving Fripp a pass, tho (;
Metalrain 01.17.18	Loving these Rec contests popping up on sputnik as of late, I'll rec some too. Buck-Tick - Romance Goth Rock perfection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR2XtoRz9hE
neekafat 01.17.18	Dino where you been??
neekafat 01.17.18	Awwww yeeeee keep em coming bois!
DinosaurJones 01.17.18	Here and there. I tend to become more of a recluse in Jan-Feb. I got that SAD, neekafam.
neekafat 01.17.18	Oh I feel you man, I do too, especially bad this year :/ Don't forget you always got that neekalove Dinobro < 3
neekafat 01.17.18	Think we're all updated (:
Drifter 01.17.18	Can we rec new songs for the new month If so I want Feb 1
neekafat 01.17.18	Not until I run out of people/recs
Drifter 01.17.18	K
Kompys2000 01.17.18	I say new list every month, don't wanna be scrolling past 2000 comments by August
hasan 01.17.18	sum 41 walking disaster song
Dewinged 01.18.18	"I say new list every month, don't wanna be scrolling past 2000 comments by August" I think Kompys is right here, new list for new month sounds good. Damn Life - I've known Cale because he worked on Nico's The Marble Index, which is an album i hold dear. Interesting track, he incorporates Beethoven at one point and ends up destroying his mic on the final scream like a fucking banshee. 4.0.
Drifter 01.18.18	50iL gave Step In The Name of Love a 3.4
CaimanJesus 01.18.18	Dedes better have picked a good track for my birthday
neekafat 01.18.18	I mean I'll have to make a new list by April due to this maxing out at 101 days
neekafat 01.18.18	Ayyyy that's my dad's birthday Caiman (:
neekafat 01.18.18	Don't see it Drifter
neekafat 01.18.18	Damn Life was really cool but also all over the place - 3.9
Drifter 01.18.18	Nigga its in my shoutbox
neekafat 01.18.18	He doesn't want to charge me up like that
BlushfulHippocrene 01.18.18	Love, love, love how all over the place Damn Life is: 3.4
CaimanJesus 01.18.18	I'm your dad, surprise
neekafat 01.18.18	Oh shit I shoulda seen it coming
Drifter 01.18.18	Smfh
neekafat 01.18.18	< 3
BlazinBlitzer 01.18.18	"The Hive" - It's decent, but I feel like they have better songs than this, ya know? It's a fine entry level song for people to get into them, I guess. 3.3/5
DinosaurJones 01.18.18	I'll start getting into this, but I have to wait until I get home because I forgot my phone today and only have access to my iPod (thank goodness I have that) but it's an old Classic, so no internet access with it. And all music/streaming is blocked on work comps.
Snake. 01.18.18	trespassers william - lie in the sound
neekafat 01.18.18	That totally sucks, Dino :/ But we'll be glad to have you on board!
neekafat 01.18.18	Need more info snake!
Frivolous 01.18.18	the hive - 3.5
neekafat 01.18.18	The Hive - This is batshit insane in the best way possible, those vocals are really interesting and energetic. Once the novelty wears off the song can get a little irritating but it's short enough that this isn't too much of a problem at all - 3.9
Papa Universe 01.18.18	Melt-Banana - The Hive rating: I liked it a lot from the instrumental side. And I hated the vocals. 3.5
Metalrain 01.18.18	Melt-Bana - The Hive: Loved how they made those weird riffs make sense, but it doesn't personally grab me to get a higher rating. 3.7
Pheromone 01.18.18	Sorry neeka again please forgive me John Cale - love a lot of Cale I've heard before but never heard this, honestly blew me away it's so damn good 4.5 /5 ez Melt-Banana 3.9 that was so much fun damn
Kompys2000 01.18.18	The Hive: 3.9 This song has a lot going for it- that jackhammering main riff is fun as fuck, the glitchy electronic embellishments add a lot to the overall sound, the album artwork and video both look great, I think "Melt-Banana" is an awesome name for a band... Unfortunately, I also found the vocals extremely annoying, and those arrhythmic freak-out sections just destroy the momentum built up by the rest of the song (Which was probably their intention, but I still didn't like it).
neekafat 01.19.18	Love you all for keeping this alive < 3
Pheromone 01.19.18	Black Veil Brides - 2/5 not offensively bad just incredibly boring
theBoneyKing 01.19.18	This looks fun, how did I miss it? Also huuuuuuge props to Dylan for reppin Gav Clark.
neekafat 01.19.18	You tell me Boney, it's been being bumped every day (; Feel free to throw us a rec!
Papa Universe 01.19.18	Black Veil Brides - Shadows Die rating: Good god, this was cheesy and bloated... but strangely enough, not in a vomit-inducing way. This is actually a fairly okay, even though barely great track. (the dumb lyrics and the bridge bring it lower) 3
neekafat 01.19.18	Uni just enjoyed an enjoyable song...? Truly this is the end
Papa Universe 01.19.18	i like fun
Papa Universe 01.19.18	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_foTSQ6xws
neekafat 01.19.18	Aging post-punk is not fun
neekafat 01.19.18	Also, BVB is a 3.9. Sometimes I hate how much I enjoy this kind of music, but it's so damn fun and all over the place musically that I can't help but get a kick out of it in a big way
Papa Universe 01.19.18	but i am. i like fun. i am fun. fun is what i like
ZombieToyDuck 01.19.18	Black Veil Brides - Shadows Die: I haven't listened to these guys since we stitch these wounds, which was an album I used to really dig but this was way better than anything I heard from these guys in a longgg ass time. The instrumentals showing that avenged influence gave this a tonnn of appeal. Andy's clean vocals are still the weak point here which hold back the track and plus the lyrics are a bit cheesy. But overall sweet production, enjoyable instrumentals and i loved the strings and the backing vocals were nice little segments to add in here. 3.7
BlazinBlitzer 01.19.18	"Shadows Die" - The instrumentals are actually pretty awesome but that bridge is filled with unwarranted poo poo and I can't stand the falsettos near the end. 2.8/5
Metalrain 01.19.18	Bvb - Shadows Die: I expected much worse knowing the band, but was kinda suprissed. Some of it is really catchy and the riffs are decent. Too bad I can't stand those vocals and the song tries to feel too epic with not much else at offer. 2.8
Kompys2000 01.19.18	Shadows Die- 2.9, still really not feeling those vocals... To an extent I can get behind this sort of over-the-top, cheesy stuff, but it never feels quite fun enough to really sell me on it. It almost gets there, but I dunno, it just seems a bit too self-serious?
Frivolous 01.19.18	shadows die - 2.5 good intro, descends to lol-tier
Rigma 01.19.18	shadows die 2.4/5
BlazinBlitzer 01.20.18	"Blind Them With Science" - The definition of okay. 3.0/5
Metalrain 01.20.18	Blind them With Silence: Excellent Post-Rock, not much else to add. 4.3
Papa Universe 01.20.18	Jakob - Blind Them With Silence rating: You know, say what you will, but Post-Rock is not dead. It is just settled well enough not to leave its comfort zone. This song is just another one of those great, overwhelming and building songs that may not be an innovation, but at least are really entertaining. 4
Frivolous 01.20.18	blind them with science - 3.7
teamster 01.20.18	Thanks for checking my rec guys. Listen to the song again and take in the massive wall of layered guitar tracks - so fucking epic.
Papa Universe 01.20.18	i love the systematic drumming there
BlazinBlitzer 01.20.18	The guitar layering is definitely the best part about this song.
neekafat 01.20.18	That was a really cool song that I could see myself jamming in the background from time to time, but at the same time there wasn't much personality to it that really makes it stand out to me - 3.6
BlazinBlitzer 01.22.18	"Leaving the City" - That was quite an excellent little track. Joanna Newsom is awesome at the vocals and that diverse instrumentation is so cool to listen to. The only problem I have with it is the song structure, but that doesn't disqualify this as a good track by any means. 4.1/5
neekafat 01.22.18	Sput is back guys let's do this At first I wasn’t really convinced by those vocals, but this is such a cool, cool, cool sounding song that the instrumentation makes up for how alien her vocals sound (which alienates me a bit but it’s just part of the cool). Feel like I’ll need a couple more listens to really get a grasp on this song, but for now let’s go with a 4.1.
Pheromone 01.22.18	Sput is finally back fuck yh Jakob - 3.5/5 cool Post Rock but then I don't fux w Post Rock that hard LEaving the city - 4/5 such a pretty song Excited to see the reaction to LFK, hope you all enjoy
Papa Universe 01.22.18	Joanna Newsom - Leaving the City rating: Though her voice might be a slight bit grading, the songwriting is imeccable. And do I have to say the instrumentation? Booooooyy... 4.5 Long Fin Killie - Godiva rating: yeah. it's fine 3.5
Dylan620 01.22.18	Already familiar with "Godiva," gets a 5 from me. Hard, hard jam
Papa Universe 01.23.18	Lillet Blanc - Be New rating: Sweet melody, tender vocals, but this song is just one of those washed out, watered down, sterilised echoic pop tunes I just cannot get into. But it seems that this is budgie's jam. 2.5
Pheromone 01.24.18	Sput's dead rip
neekafat 01.24.18	So are we good? Is it just slow as ass or is this just he eye of the storm?
ArsMoriendi 01.24.18	idk probably fine enough.
neekafat 01.24.18	Confirmed through the facebook that we good
Dewinged 01.24.18	Got a lot to catch up. Dem servers man. Will get on it in a minute.
neekafat 01.24.18	Same will probably have to wait till tomorrow tho
Dewinged 01.24.18	Melt Banana - Fetch is a fucking masterpiece, so this is an easy 4.3. Black Veil Brides - The intro is a bit annoying but this is way better than what I heard in "Vale". Not a bad song at all. 3.6 Jakob - Outstanding track, but didn't expect less from teamster. That final part was ace indeed. 4.5 Joanna Newsom - Why I didn't hear her music before!? FML this is amazing. Great choice Blush, gotta check more of her. 4.7. Will continue tomorrow with the rest and finally catch up.
Metalrain 01.24.18	Leaving the City - Amazing song. A little too dense in some areas for my taste, but the interplay between everything is just so good. 4.2 Godiva - The song has some good ideas, but the execution is lackluster. Still a great song tho. 3.6 Blow Job - Indescribable song. Good, but not something I see myself revisiting allot. 3.4
Metalrain 01.24.18	Be New - Really chill song, love it. 4.1
BlazinBlitzer 01.25.18	Long Fin Killie - Godiva: Ehhh.... the vocalist needed a lot more range for this to work more than it did. 3.3/5 Lillet Blanc - Be New: I like the classic gospel influence mixed with the basic dream pop keyboards, guitars, and whatnot. The vocalist is quite good, too. It's well rounded with not much exceptional from that. 3.6/5 Bruce Haak - Blowjob: Lol this was actually fire. Although some people may treat this song differently than I do, this was a quality low-key and pessimistic self-evaluation. Might spin a few more time, like, damn. 4.2/5 Karybdis - Minotaur: I feel like, at its core, it's fairly generic metalcore, but I like how the lower quality production actually gives the song an edge rather than hinder it. 3.2/5
neekafat 01.25.18	I'm so damn behind on this sorry guys ):
Kompys2000 01.25.18	I'll try to catch up today, I opened up tabs for all the songs yesterday then got sidetracked for like 6 hours :/
BlazinBlitzer 01.25.18	Wait a minute, wtf was I thinking? Karybdis isn't metalcore, they're melodic death metal.
Metalrain 01.25.18	Minotaur: You can see the potential, but it doesn't quite hit the right marks to make it awesome. 3.5
neekafat 01.26.18	Godiva: yeah that was really cool, loved the constantly changing soundscape, especially that jam at the end of the song - 4.1 Be New: Another sweet little dream pop rec from Budgie, didn't stand out to me too much but I'm just a sucker for the genre and it's so damn nice I can't bear to give it less than a 3.8 Blow Job: what the fuk am I listening to - 3.6 Minotaur: Proof that I can really enjoy death metal when it's not straight death metal - 4.0 Will update soon
neekafat 01.26.18	Guys these votes are kinda sad right now, don't let the thread die!
ArsMoriendi 01.26.18	Damn site crashes throw everything off lol
neekafat 01.26.18	I know right? the votes declined by one everyday haha
Dewinged 01.26.18	Long Fin Killie - Not a big fan of the vocals but hot damn the song has a nice vibe. 3.8 Lillet Blane - I was wondering who the fuck was Lillie lemon. My man budgie already pointed me out to these guys some weeks ago, very pleasant record, with some nice 60s pop. Not my favourite track of the album but me digs. 4.0 Bruce Haack - I am sorry Ars, but I don't really get this. The background music is alright, little bit eerie, but didn't dig the spoken voice stuff. 3.0 Karybdis - Interesting. Melodic DM is my cup of tea but I have the feeling they haven't developed their full potential yet. Melodies are nice and that first rythm blasts with fury but then it gets a bit generic. 3.7
neekafat 01.26.18	Thanks dude!
neekafat 01.26.18	Added 21 to the database myself because why not (:
budgie 01.26.18	not my favorite track on the album either but the album wasnt out yet when this list was made :P
Tyler. 01.26.18	omg kill v maim is not better than pink and blue you guys
Ryus 01.26.18	jesus fuck kill v maim is an honest to god 1.0 and pink and blue is at the very least a 3.5 :[
Papa Universe 01.26.18	Bruce Haack - Blow Job rating: hahahahahahahahahaha... no 1.5 Karybdis - Minotaur rating: nononononononononono... ha 1.5 Puke Spit And Guts - You Ain't Never rating: your ol' typical butcherboycore. "..., but you ain't ever gonna fuck me it my ass." yeah. 2
neekafat 01.26.18	Kill v maim was genuinely fun you guys are just haters
neekafat 01.26.18	Papa why you hate everything
Papa Universe 01.26.18	I am sent here with all the jurisdiction of 'Royal Society for the Prevention of Fun'.
Papa Universe 01.26.18	And you sir are a 'persona non bruta', i.e. a petty weakling.
BlazinBlitzer 01.27.18	But I thought you said you liked fun?
Drifter 01.27.18	Lol what a cuck
ArsMoriendi 01.27.18	Damn "Blow Job" has been getting caught in my head ever since I first heard it Harsh rater Universe :P
BlazinBlitzer 01.27.18	Puke Spit and Guts - "You Ain't Never": hanohanohanohanohanohanohano...noha 1.9/5
budgie 01.27.18	kill v maim roolz
neekafat 01.27.18	[2]
Kompys2000 01.27.18	Ayy catching up now Blind Them With Science- 3.4, it's cool but (as with a lot of vocal-less music) I find it difficult to really get a mental grip on. Leaving the City- 3.2, I can't deny this is impressive from a composition standpoint, but I do not like her voice at all and the medieval vibe really doesn't do much for me either. Sorry Blush :( Godiva- 3.6, not too bad at all, though it seems sorta nondescript tbh. Better production would have made it pop a bit more, but still, this was quite enjoyable. Be New- 4.0, I'm a pretty easy lay when it comes to hazy, cutesy dream-pop, so I had a good time with this one, plain and simple. Blow Job- 3.0, well uhhh.... that was weird. Not sure what I was expecting, but it sure as hell wasn't that. Minotaur- 3.3, I don't much care for DM but this was aight. When this song is just thrashing on all cylinders, I really dig it. When it isn't... Not so much. You Ain't Never- 2.9, could have been a pretty fun novelty song but those Jersey-ass vocals are a little too squawky for me.
Dedes 01.27.18	Im glad you dug my song Neeka, rightly so cause it rips.
Dedes 01.27.18	I have some stuff as well finally haha Blind Them With Science-4/5. It's gorgeous and manages to build up in a way that is both climactic yet restrained. A bit predictable, but that's never been as much an issue for me as it is often with others. A Golden Dawn-4.5/5. Aight this has the best fucking drumming i've ever heard in post-hardcore/emo and that is not hyperbolic at all. Also the organs don't suck. Wow.
Papa Universe 01.27.18	Prefab Sprout - Bonny rating: kinda sweet, kinda forgettable too. 3
Kompys2000 01.27.18	Bonny- 3.9, love me some good 80s pop.
Ryus 01.27.18	bonny is a 5/5 song
neekafat 01.28.18	You Ain't Never: As much as I wanted to hate this, I'm gonna have to side with butcher on this one... Still more fun and enjoyable than half the post-punk Uni listens to. 3.1/5 Bonny: This is so so so nice. I might have to jam the whole album honestly, sounds right up my alley. 4.2/5
neekafat 01.28.18	Me and my dad both had no idea when that song was from haha
Papa Universe 01.28.18	You little shit...
budgie 01.28.18	universe is the most irritating 14year old ive ever known
neekafat 01.28.18	[2]
Papa Universe 01.28.18	muuuum, the elderly folks are being mean to me on the internets
Papa Universe 01.28.18	Beaten to Death - Papyrus Containing the Spell to Summon the Breath of Life Enshrined in the Collected Scrolls of Sheryl Crow rating: i can analyse this song all i want, the title of it will still be longer than anything i say. and all i say is: it's looped duck quacks on drugs. 1.5
Pheromone 01.29.18	Sput being down has really made me slack on this (probs) I'll get back to it tomorrow, I promise!
BlazinBlitzer 01.29.18	Prefab Srpout - "Bonny": This is a sweet tune with guitar playing that sort of advances itself from the locks of 80's production. Unfortunately, that production makes the song way cheesier than it has to, but I still get a kick out of that first half. 3.8/5 Beaten to Death - "Papyrus Containing the Spell to Summon the Breath of Life Enshrined in the Collected Scrolls of Sheryl Crow": You know, sometimes I think, "Man, this goes pretty hard." where others I'm like, "Wtf are they doing?" 2.5/5
neekafat 01.29.18	No worries Pheromone, we're all getting back into it < 3
neekafat 01.29.18	Papyrus Containing the Spell to Summon the Breath of Life Enshrined in the Collected Scrolls of Sheryl Crow: On one hand it's pretty cool and on the other it's everything I don't enjoy in music smashed together in a disfigured mess. 1.6/5
BigPleb 01.29.18	Damn, this list really blew up.
neekafat 01.29.18	(: (: (:
Papa Universe 01.29.18	People like contests and neek.
neekafat 01.29.18	People like me??
neekafat 01.29.18	Also it's not really a contest :/ Though I was thinking of doing a monthly winner kind of thing...
BigPleb 01.29.18	Cool list and cool user tho m/
neekafat 01.29.18	Aw thanks pleb < 3
BlazinBlitzer 01.30.18	Gama Bomb - "Zombie Blood Nightmare": You know, sometimes I think, "Man, this goes pretty hard." where others I'm like, "Wtf is the vocalist doing?" 2.7/5
Dewinged 01.30.18	Puke SPit and Guts - lol! This was terrible and amazing at the same time, like I would really like to see this being played live. 3.5 Prefab Sprout - I remember changing the channel when these guys came up on TV in the 80s but listening to it now, this is a beautiful song. 4.0 Beaten to Death - Love the grind parts, not so much the slams. Nice arpeggio middle onwards. Growls sometimes are ridiculous lol. 3.8 Gama Bomb - Pleb beringing the trve thrash. Reminds me a bit of Suicidal Tendencies. Cool track. 3.7 NiN - Dino I love you man but this dragged a little. Some nice background at times but it felt overlong and oversimplified. 3.0 Buck-Tick - As the first comment in the link says, "this song got me pregnant". No, really, Buck-Tick can't do wrong. 4.1 Sum 41 - I hate this band so fucking much, don't know why, but this song is alright. 3.2 AND I AM DONE! ;)
ArsMoriendi 01.30.18	Zero-Sum is a great song, but it works way better in the context of the album.
BlazinBlitzer 01.31.18	Nine Inch Nails - "Zero-Sum": Oooohhhhh this was gooood. I need to finally get into NIN someday. 4.1/5
neekafat 01.31.18	Gama Bomb: 3.3/5 Yeah this was some pretty damn fun thrash, was almost expecting screamed vocals so the clean ones were a pleasant surprise. The guitars are cool too of course, it just doesn't stand out too much to be compared to other thrash I've heard. Zero-Sum: "Oooohhhhh this was gooood. I need to finally get into NIN someday." [2] I know I would love the shit outta them. 4.2/5
teamster 01.31.18	Nine Inch Nails - "Zero-Sum" - Not the song I would pick, this is one of my favorite Trent Reznor albums. Underrated IMO: 4.2/5
teamster 01.31.18	Adding a song to the list: Enshine - Cinders http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Syfz0lsxF9g The subject of songs that have made you cry came up on another webzine. First of all, Jari Lindholm is one of my favorite musicians - anything he does is gold. Secondly, the piano in this song is immaculate. Get's me every time.
Papa Universe 01.31.18	Gama Bomb - Zombie Blood Nightmare rating: Man, I love the drums here, but the song overall is just okay at best. It didn't really stick with me at all. Just the killer drums. 3 Nine Inch Nails - Zero-Sum rating: Gotta be honest with you, folks. I never liked NIN. And this doesn't change anything. 3 Buck-Tick - Romance rating: Gotta be honest with you, folks. I always liked B-T. And this is a great song. There is just nothing else to say about it. A fantastic contemporary goth affair. 4.5
Papa Universe 01.31.18	adding a song to the list: Chrisma - Lola (from Chinese Restaurant) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oYuWoqOtBI There is nothing particularly outstanding about this track, except that it is a ridiculously pretty proto-synth-pop tune I was unable to get out of my head. A gorgeous mix of synths and tangling acoustic guitar. And the melody is a damn classic.
neekafat 01.31.18	Hold your horses, I'm not taking new recs right this moment
Papa Universe 01.31.18	keep them in then, bub
neekafat 01.31.18	The February list is officially up but keep commenting on this thread guys, planning on doing some ranking/stats stuff just for the fuck of it
BlazinBlitzer 01.31.18	BUCK-TICK - "Romance": The bassist is really impressing me and I admire the drum production the same way as "Kumari" from an earlier Song of the Day track. The production is a little too clean on this track, though. I was hoping for something a little rougher around the edges. 3.8/5
Metalrain 01.31.18	You Ain't Never: It's supossed to be funny and raw, but it's just.... no. 1.7 Bonny: Really good tune, though it comes of a little to cheesy at some points. 3.7 Papyrus: All over the place, but not in the best way. 2.2 Zombie Blood Nightmare: Some good Crossover thrash. Doesn't have that much substance, but it's just so fun you don't care as much. 3.6 Zero-Sum: Just got into the band and have a love-hate relationship with them. If the track was a little shorter, i think it could have worked better, but it drags too much to get the real impact it needed. Good song tho. 3.4
Kompys2000 02.01.18	Papyrus Containing the Blah Blah Blah Jesus Fuck That's A Long Song Title- 2.4, it was kinda cool how they mixed some melody into a genre that isn't very melodic, but it just doesn't come together for me at all. Zombie Blood Nightmare- 3.8, not particularly distinctive stylistically, but a whole lot of fun regardless. Zero-Sum- 3.3, Reznor spices things up a bit with some neat production tricks, but ultimately there's not quite enough meat on the bones of this song for me to really make a meal out of it. Romance- 3.6, I'd be lying if I said I this band's aesthetic didn't irk me a bit, but this is still a very well-put-tpgether tune, and I like the hints of new wave that make it feel a little brighter.
50iL 02.01.18	Romance is a 5 my dudes, one of my favorite singles ever
neekafat 02.01.18	Thanks for keeping the votes coming y'all, so glad you enjoyed this list and I'm excited for next month!
neekafat 02.01.18	Romance: 3.9/5 Didn't quite blow me away, but I'll admit I was surprised by the grace of the melodies combined with the strength of the music behind them. I wasn't expecting to dig this (never really heard much Japanese rock), but here we are. Pretty damn solid song indeed!
BlushfulHippocrene 02.01.18	Sorry for dropping out, Sput being down for those few days threw me off. I'll try to join back in for February, this was fun.
