Anyone can play!
Anyone can rec a song, and it doesn't mean you need to listen and rate all the other songs, but is highly recommended. |

The lyrics gave me chills, how well they described me, especially when I first heard it.

09.30.21 | "Comfort" by Jerry Paper
I often find myself in an introspective melancholy stupor and I feel like the lyrics, vocals, and instrumentation on this song capture that perfectly. It's quirky, but introverted, like me I guess. Or maybe I'm not actually quirky, I don't know. Jerry Paper definitely is though.

09.30.21 | Sematary - "Truey Jeans"
This song understands me so well UwU. Jokes aside, I just find my daily life to be a little monotone. I'm yearning for those chaotic moments where I can just get away with I feel like doing. Maybe like, randomly screaming at the street for no reason. Of course, that will never happen. Hence, this track, which resonates with that part of me really well.

09.30.21 | shutup abe ur theme song is the hatsune miku cover of when you sleep |

09.30.21 | Nice theme, I'll have to ponder this one |
dedex
09.30.21 | ah, gotta pick an epic tune. I'll have to ponder this one [2] |
SmallMess
09.30.21 | Probably Beercan by Beck
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVay-RfNGv8
Only as much meaning as you want in it, and only the neverending groove rises above the blur, which in my opinion describes life pretty nicely as well. The story would probably be me pushing past people on a crowded street on a Friday in May while half-asleep from work, hallucinating everyone to be exact copies of myself who get along fine at first, but then grow more and more hostile until a riot breaks out, so I have to hurry home and watch the carnage from the inside. |
SlothcoreSam
09.30.21 | @normaloctagon, yeah sounds like a great track, do it.
@dedex/fozga/Rogue/, this theme will make you overthink, but take your time.
@minus, which one you gonna go with? |
SlothcoreSam
09.30.21 | @someone, what version of the funeral march do you want?
Send me the youtube link, I just have a placeholder in there at the moment. |
Divaman
09.30.21 | This is what I want them to play at my wake. It's pretty, and it's Celtic, and it's sad, and it talks about going home. Then, after everyone has had one good cry, I want them to change it up entirely and play nothing but rocking party music for the rest of the night.
Cara Dillon - The Tern and the Swallow (from her LP The Wanderer)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKhOzjD8AYA |
Divaman
09.30.21 | Actually, the name of the LP is just Wanderer. There's no "The". |
SlothcoreSam
09.30.21 | Updated, that's almost a third of the month gone.
@Divaman, I was kinda wondering, what theme you would come out to the ring? |

My Song for October
Tiamat - Gaia |
Divaman
09.30.21 | I'm gonna have to work on that one and get back to you, Sam. |
Divaman
09.30.21 | Maybe "Cover of Night" by The Good Rats. That's the first thing that comes to mind. |
SlothcoreSam
09.30.21 | Oh yeah, I can see that, but maybe for an old school 70/80s gimmick.
I used to use this as my theme,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySiW7HZFONo
Slow build up, then would explode!! |
Divaman
09.30.21 | I'm an old school70s/80s kind of guy, Sloth.
Yeah, I can hear in your song exactly where they'd set off the pyrotechnics. |
Divaman
09.30.21 | "Cover of Night" is a werewolf song, too. It reminds me of an old time wrestler they used to call The Wolfman. They'd announce him as being from "The wilds of the Yukon," and Fred Blassie would bring him in on a chain. And when he'd attack someone, they used to say it was too horrible to show on TV, and they'd cover over the screen with a great big giant "X". |
SlothcoreSam
09.30.21 | Haha, I looked the Wolfman up before, last time you mentioned that he was billed from the wilds of The Yukon.
Speaking of The Yukon, it is freezing here now, mostly snow and a bit of rain for the past week, and I have onw more outside gravel bike race coming up this Saturday. There will be at least 20% of the course with slushy snow on it, and they are predicating more on the day. |
fogza
09.30.21 | Pile - Firewood
https://youtu.be/Ki6XY9dvk5Q
I guess the song that fits would be totally different at particular stages of your life. If I was introduced as a character on a show now, this would probably be my song - just hit middle age, jaded, bored by myself, struggling to maintain or make friendships, and insulated from the world. Working hard on having a new theme next year. |
ArsMoriendi
09.30.21 | @SmallMess: high five for picking Beercan, great song |
SlothcoreSam
10.01.21 | Updates.
12 songs filled, great to see some new faces.
Anyone else can quickly get in a rec a song, 18 spots left. |
fogza
10.01.21 | 1. The Verve: The drugs don't work - I didn't see this coming as a pick for Sam, but with the story it makes sense. I love this album and this is a good song, although not one of my absolute faves on it. 3.8 |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.01.21 | broken social scene - it's all gonna break (from their s/t)
went through a lot of songs picking for this, but gotta be honest here this is the one. it's all over the place and sloppy as all hell, but you can feel the positivity headaches of all the zillion people on it overlapping so clearly that this doesn't matter. it has an energy and it is real and bigger and more important than songwriting and that is precious、 and for maybe a yr and a half an unflattering fraction of my personality was the spangled incarnation of kevin drew slurring WHY ARE YOU FUCKING GHOSTS like his addressee (himself!!???) can no longer identify where reality starts and ends etcetcetcetc. silly song, but when it hits it's one of the realest zany stodge-out hangovers of the soul out there

garas
10.01.21 | Candlemass - The Man Who Fell from the Sky
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=iVf8BRa9yko&feature=share
Because I want to have the most badass entrance theme. Straight to the point massive riffs, omnious aura... this short instrumental track radiates *power* and *confidence*. And that's the impression I want to make. |
Pangea
10.01.21 | The Ocean - Triassic (from Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvpRCX7jays
Ever since i was a child, i have always been super interested in anything prehistoric, so what better theme song as a song dedicated to a prehistoric period? also this song is post metal and i like anything post. The Triassic in general is one of the most interesting periods ever; it has really weird lifeforms due to being in between two mass extinction events and it has to beginning of the dinosaurs (also Pangea was in fact in full glory). |
SmallMess
10.01.21 | @ArsMoriendi: it sure is, was basically the soundtrack to my 2015, hanging out with a bunch of friends at the place of a guy who'd have all sorts of characters over because he knew where to get weed. |
Divaman
10.01.21 | 1. The Verve - Mellow beginning with some strummed guitars and strings. OK, but kind of bland. 3.0 |
dedex
10.01.21 | Turnstile - Blackout
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtGRLKVzzdg
apparently i played this album more than 15 times in a month, am clearly addicted. this one is the most addictive m/ |
SlothcoreSam
10.01.21 | @Pangea, my second choice for this theme was prehistoric/dinosaurs.
|
Divaman
10.01.21 | There weren't a lot of great bands from that period, though. |
Pangea
10.01.21 | hey don't knock synthosaurus |
Pangea
10.01.21 | oh that would have been dope as well sam! |

Divaman
10.01.21 | It'll be a great ice breaker with my family. And if they ask you about it, just say, "What, this old thing?"
It will certainly endear you to my daughter. It was always a lot of fun explaining to my mother-in-law why my daughter's Christmas wish list was always full of books about real-life serial killers and other such fun items. |
ArsMoriendi
10.01.21 | "The Drugs Don't Work"
Folky alt rock. Some emotional strings. Kinda bland but I guess that pickup made it more interesting.
3.1/5 |
someone
10.01.21 | Sloppy Jane - Party Anthem (off Madison)
not really a party anthem at all, but i know that this is a party of people i wanna hang out with. not that i ever might appear at a party with music blasting on it. also a real soty contender, undeniable Kate Bush on antidepressants vibes

10.02.21 | 2. Britney Spears: Piece Of Me - Yep it's a Britney Spears song. 2 |
Pangea
10.02.21 | 1. The Drugs Don't Work - Pretty song. 3.5
2. Piece of Me - i like some Britney, but oh wow this is really bad. 1.5 |
Divaman
10.02.21 | 2. Britney Spears - Oh no. I'm in auto-tune hell. Particularly dull song, too. 1.8 |
ArsMoriendi
10.02.21 | "Piece of Me"
Ew, this aesthetic is tacky as hell. Are those autotune sex moans? This 3-minute song feels like it's 8 minutes long.
1/5 |
fogza
10.03.21 | 3. PM Today: Thoughts in Transit - Don't like or hate it, I'll put it at "I dunno what to do with it score" of 3. |
Divaman
10.03.21 | 3. PM Today - Pleasant little alternapop tune. Under 3 mins long, so it doesn't wear out its welcome. 3.3 |
SlothcoreSam
10.03.21 | 2. Piece of me. 0.1 I don't think there is a piece of me that likes this song.
3. Thoughts in Transit. 3.2. Great intro song to the album, feels like mid 2000s scene music, which I never got into. |
fogza
10.04.21 | 4. Sloppy Jane: Party Anthem - Weird, I get much more of an Amanda Palmer vibe from this than Kate or Tori. Was ok but not cohesive enough for me. 3.1 |
dedex
10.04.21 | 1. The Drugs Don't Work - idk why i expected something rockier. it's gud tho, but a tad too sad idk really. 3.2
2. Piece of Me - don't like the use of autotune here. 2.2
3. Thoughts in Transit - scenecore woo woo. 2.9
4. Party Anthem - grand and all of that, but in terms of "big track that slowly explodes" this was just aight. 3.0 |
Divaman
10.04.21 | 4. Sloppy Jane - What an unattractive name. Opening is mostly a capalla, with just some light percussion. Kind of obnoxious female chorus. One speed change. Feels all over the place. 2.4 |
porcupinetheater
10.04.21 | Norma knows what tha fuck’s up, as per yoozh |

10.05.21 | 5. Jerry Paper: Comfort - One of those check your watch songs, like pick up the pace Jerry. Weird fuzzy ugly solo at the end, I'm not feeling it. 2 |
dedex
10.05.21 | 5. Comfort - ah yeah the Arstravaganza tune. 2.7 |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.05.21 | 1. The Drugs Don't Work: playing this in pharmacy is emotional torment, but it is a very good song 3.7
2. Piece of Me: Fuck me up this song has aged hilariously terribly but also all of you fucking suck [2] idk what to rate it rn so imma copy norma's 4.2
3. Thoughts In Transit: bloodshy ur better than this 2.8
4. Party Anthem: this has a loveable camp fuckup factor that I'm not sure I'd be getting from it the same way if it wasn't a song somewhat disingenuously rec'd it for a Ur Entrnanncee THem rawr compilation. it's an alright song??? but also perfect for this context ?!?! idk. 3.3
5. Comfort: "What song do you want playing when you rock up to a party?" lmfao ars wants that party to be over before he arrives. jerry paper is cool but this is mid and boring and distantly annoying 2.7
6. TRUEY JEANS ひひひ: i have literally been drinking booze longer than i have water and this track did more damage to my brain than a lifetime of plonk. will afford bonus points for being a perfect abe theme 1.0
|
ArsMoriendi
10.05.21 | @Johnny: I didn't read the rock up part and honestly I don't think an accurate theme for me would involve rocking up anyway.
"Thoughts in Transit"
Whiny and very boring. I don't know what else to say about this.
2.3/5
"Party Anthem"
Half reminds me of 70s pop like Carly Simon and half of modern indie pop. Pretty decent actually.
3.6/5 |
SlothcoreSam
10.05.21 | 4. Party Anthem. 3.2. Oh it's a new song, has potential, will have to check the album when it comes out.
5. Comfort. 3 Ok, this is Arse, do you do psychedelics? Pretty chill song, would like something noisier and crazy at the end.
6. True Jeans. 3.8 What the fuck are true jeans? What the fuck is going on with this song? It's all over the place, like I'm listening to 3 radio stations, one which is just fuzz, and have a movie on in the background whilst I'm working on a construction site in the hood. Aberf's mind must be a wonderful place. I actually like this song. |
SlothcoreSam
10.05.21 | To clarify, the theme doesn't have to be a rock up to a party theme.
It's an entrance theme to any event, a personal theme of what defines you. So can be any genre, style, as long as the story matches.
|
Divaman
10.05.21 | 5. Jerry Paper - Arghh, the song is meeeelllllttting! (Or maybe it's my brain.) 2.9 |
dedex
10.05.21 | damn i dont have no story

Underworld - Cups
(from Beaucoup Fish)
OH but wait it's 12 minutes and this is SOTD of course so I shouldn't. What to pick... |
SlothcoreSam
10.05.21 | Nice one Trif, love some Underworld. |
Trifolium
10.05.21 | Yeah but isn't 12 minutes a bit tooooo much for this? I mean, Cups is 100% a GOAT track, but perhaps I should pick:
https://youtu.be/yGaVG-GxFu4
Fatboy Slim - Demons
from Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars
Always gets me pumped.
|
SlothcoreSam
10.05.21 | Ok we will go with the Fatboy then, either way, we be dancing! |
Trifolium
10.05.21 | You can decide which one is a better fit Sam, I'd personally go for Cups but it is quite long so Demons works super mega fine toooooo... |
SlothcoreSam
10.05.21 | K, we will go for the shorter option, but I'll spin Cups, whilst I finish this workout. |
Trifolium
10.05.21 | YESSSSSSSS. Win win!!!!

Aberf
10.05.21 | 1. Drugs don't work - sadge, life is short. 3.8
2. Piece of me - lol, gonna be funny if some guy exudes this track as entrance song. Feels like there are better Britney songs out there. 2.9
3. Thoughts on transit - lyrics gave me cringe bro. Nothing profound about this at all. 1.5
4. Party Anthem - this is like a teaspoon of Kate Bush essence diluted in 50 gallon of water. It will probably taste like water. Just like this track. 2.0
5. Comfort - I feel like I don't like most Psych music. This vocal sounds like when my cat was about to throw up. Yeah no. 1.7

10.06.21 | @norma: maybe a theme specifically targeting "a dream party playlist" another month haha |
Aberf
10.06.21 | @ars: I rarely do like psych, when it's combined with shoegaze however, I'm more likely to like it. Just like Melody's Echo Chamber.
Btw, I'm itching to see your reaction on my rec. |

10.06.21 | shoegaze was an outgrowth of noise pop more than psychedelia
though obvs the timelines are v muddy and intertwined by now |
fogza
10.06.21 | 6. Sematary: Truey Jeans - I'm assuming this is a parody song or something. Sounds like when you used to play an old cassette and it starts sounding super shit, and you take it out the deck, and the tape looks like spaghetti coming out of the cassette shell. 1 |

10.06.21 | 6. Truey Jeans - sounds like a b-sides from LUM's Three Sided Tape. 2.4 |

10.06.21 | 7. Beercan. 4.0 It's been a while since I've heard this, possibly 25 years. Maybe I should revisit this album. This song sounds like a precursor to The Avalanches. I love SmallMess thought process, would make an awesome film clip, 100 clones starting a riot, lol. |
ArsMoriendi
10.06.21 | "Truey Jeans"
This is a shitpost with annoying vocals, horrible production, and trap snares. Somehow still better than 100 Gecs though, so +0.1 for that.

Beck: Beercan - I once went on a weekend away with some friends, and one of them brought this dude along who was really into Beck, like he brought him up in every conversation about music and played his stuff every chance he got on the hifi. Eventually I just had to say, for the good of the group, that I think Beck is boring and overrated. 2.5 |

Dewinged
10.07.21 | Ok, lets see if I can catch up this time, and not gonna rate cause... bah:
1. The Verbe - Drugs don't work: Pretty dark for an entrance theme, I feel the audience would just tear up instead of cheering, but hey! If sadness is what you were going for this hits the nail!
2. Britney S. - Piece of Me: Oh OH YEAH, I can totally see Porcupi doing the walkway sporting his admirable beard and a cheerleader outfit.
3. PM Today - Thoughts in Transit: Nice tune, enjoyed it. When it was finished I read that the lyrics talk about you bloodshy, but damn, I missed that part! You'll remain a wonderful mystery to me.
4. Sloppy Jane - Party Anthem: That's 3 out of 4 sad tunes as an entrance. I'm worried about you guys! Sweet voice and really nice track, btw I'm also on antidepressants and also hate loud parties! *hugs
5. Jerry Paper: Comfort - I'm hearing this and I imagine Ars enteringin a colorful outfit but all I see is a blurry and twisting shape cause I took way too much LSD this time.
6. Sematary - Truey Jeans: I have no idea what I'm listening to, but Aberf entering to this is sort of intimidating.
7. Beck - Beercan: Not a fan of beck, I don't hate him but I have no idea how he got to where he is. As an entrance this is alright I guess, I'd think this... Smallmess? is a funny dude/dudette. Dug the description though. |
Dewinged
10.07.21 | oh shit right, u need a description too *ehem*
"Imagine soon to be double 4s Dewi on a Ziggy Stardust meets GWAR outfit kicking the door at the office and climbing the table while my desk, my co-workers and the whole damn building is slowly swallowed by a black hole and we all turn to cosmic beings.

Dewi, yeah it is a depressingly bleak theme for the patients, but as a pharmacist, it is ironic dark humour at it's best. Also you could always just put your scores in the database, not as may people check that, so you would not offend anyone.
Can't wait to see what Divergent has for us.

10.07.21 | My theme song would be "Hold On" by Pearl Jam (Lost Dogs). This song has got me through a lot of tough times this year, and as I'm going through changes, it reminds me that things will get better. |
SlothcoreSam
10.07.21 | Nice one DOAS, will add, and of course things will get better. ☺️ |
fogza
10.08.21 | 8. UGK: International Player's Anthem - Fun little soulful hip hop track. 3.4 |
dedex
10.08.21 | 8. International Player's Anthem (I Choose You) - heyyyyy there was a track in the latest Netsky's album that sampled this! super boppy and energetic fuck yeah. 4.0 |
Koris
10.08.21 | I'm gonna go with an underrated gem for this one: "Steelwinged Savage Reaper" by Wolf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxWdsfY08kI
Really good Swedish speed metal revival band I've always found to be quite overlooked. I actually reviewed this song's parent album The Black Flame a long time ago, but I'm thinking of rewriting it at some point. And yeah, the band make for really good entrance music! \m/ |
Divaman
10.08.21 | 8. UGK - Oh dear God. Why? OK. One guy rapping while a chorus wails in the background. Then another guy raps. I pour a heavy dose of whiskey into my morning coffee. 2.0 |
JesperL
10.08.21 | gr8 theme
ok imagine a room full of like really angry really muscular people and they're about to start fighting but then woosh i walk in to this song and within seconds they're all hugging it out yea that's the vibe thank u

WatchItExplode
10.09.21 | 311 Freeze Time.... Yes terrible but this was literally my theme 2000 to 2002
The entrance is just me looking confused walking down the entryway with my hands up swing out of rhythm |
SlothcoreSam
10.09.21 | Oh sweet one Watchitgoboom.
Will add!

fogza
10.09.21 | 9. Cara Dillon: The Tern and the Swallow - Sad tradcore. It's nice but I'm sad thinking about recently deceased future diva. 3.4 |
Divaman
10.09.21 | Me too! (Sobbbbbb!)
Ah, unfortunately I'll probably live until I'm 120. But I thank you for your sadness. |
Egarran
10.09.21 | Jesper, that sounds like a very plausible scenario. You can def turn some heads 😘 |
Divaman
10.09.21 | Btw everyone, there's an open bar today for my wake. |
Ryus
10.09.21 | tfw diva has one of the most based ratings for sematary |
SlothcoreSam
10.09.21 | Yo Ryus, since you're here, and on a high since winning the umbrella contest.
Give us a song! |
ArsMoriendi
10.09.21 | "Beercan"
Classic Beck psychedelic goofy fun. Great drums, fun samples. "I'm sad and unhappy" mood I think. Organ solo woot. Classic shit.
4.8/5 |
Ryus
10.09.21 | "Yo Ryus, since you're here, and on a high since winning the umbrella contest.
Give us a song!"
alright chief will do |
ArsMoriendi
10.09.21 | "International Players Anthem"
Nice horns. Still not in love with rapping, but this is child regardless. OH damn section change and it's got harder. Cool enough.
3.2/5
"The Tern and the Swallow"
Celtic piano folk. Her brogue cracks are interesting, but the rest of this is whatever.
3.1/5 |
Ryus
10.09.21 | rp boo - haters increase the heat!
https://rpboo.bandcamp.com/track/haters-increase-the-heat
my current jam. if i were good at dancing this would be my choice song with which to enter the dance floor |
Ryus
10.09.21 | 1. 2.8/5 not one of my favorites by them. shoegaze verve >>
2. 3.6/5 its britney bitch
3. 1.8/5 yeah not my style at all
4. 2.5/5 pretty bland but not bad ig
5. 3.5/5 fun n cute
6. 3.8/5 not one of my favorites on the album but still fun af
7. 3.7/5 rapping beck is a good time
8. 4.8/5 iconic absolute classic
9. 2.4/5 overwrought and not my vibe |
Divaman
10.09.21 | >Celtic piano folk. Her brogue cracks are interesting, but the rest of this is whatever. 3.1/5
I'll accept that. Welcome to my wake. Grab yourself an adult beverage. |
Divaman
10.09.21 | >9. 2.4/5 overwrought and not my vibe
Aw, Ryus. Well fine. Grab yourself an adult beverage anyway. But don't tell my family you 2.4'd me. |
SlothcoreSam
10.10.21 | 5 days left, tell your friends, hopefully no need for second recs. |
Divaman
10.10.21 | Please help yourself to an adult beverage, Sloth. I'm having such a lovely time. |
SlothcoreSam
10.10.21 | I'm drinking a mango milkshake IPA right now. Pretty tasty. |
Divaman
10.10.21 | Your beverage of choice is good, too. |
fogza
10.10.21 | 10. Kanye West: Power - So powerful it could launch Paco Rabanne into outta space. Seriously though this is a textbook entrance song. 4.5 |
Pangea
10.10.21 | 3. Thoughts in Transit - not into these vocals at all. 2.5
4. Parthy Anthem - has a nice grandiosement to it, and some parts work well, but it feels a little too disjointed for it to work in a full song. Would have maybe been better if it was a minute or 2 longer so it could build on some of these ideas more. 2.8
5. Comfort - uninteresting psych instrumentals with some of the most monotone, bored vocals i have heard in my life. Sorry Ars, not a fan. 2.0
6. Truey Jeans - dumb chaos, but i'm enjoying it for what it is. Would be a dope entrance song. 3.0 |
Pangea
10.10.21 | 7. Beer can - Well this is annoying. 2.2
8. International Players Anthem - dece sample and good rapping, but it didn't mesh all that well for me. Also the sample gets spammed way too much to the point it gets annoying. 2.7
9. The Tern and the Swallow - Beautiful song, thank you inviting us to your wake Diva. I'll sit at the bar now and jam out to rocking party songs. 3.8
10. 🔥 track and a perfect entrance theme. 4.3 |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.10.21 | 7. Beercan: yeah I'm also in the Beck-is-mid camp and this song ain't changing that, though it has a couple of catchy lines 3.0
8. International Players Anthem: norma norma norma norma norma norma norma norma k cool 3.6
9. The Tern and the Swallow: nice one Diva, you found another reason not to die. 2.8
10. Power: powapherul 3.8
11. Gaia: this is midkey a classic album, but for some reason I never went all in on this track. listening now, i remember why - the darker/mysterious stuff works better for me, but ig it kinda needed a grandiose centerpiece so all fair. whatever. love those classic 90s cosmic keyboard doom vibes and tones mmmmm good pick 3.8 |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.10.21 | also sam m'angel is there any chance of a last min switch to OXBOW - GAL (from LET ME BE A WOMAN) i have decided i'm done crying about fucking ghosts at this phase in my life (how long)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDqoJPVaV8M
description uh uh i am hot shit and know how to shake my arse and you will not fucking touch me :] |
dedex
10.10.21 | 9. The Tern and the Swallow - slow and pretty, but not really my jam. 2.9
10. Power - yes ofc. 4.2 |
Egarran
10.10.21 | J doesn't seem satisfied with his 2. pick. |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.10.21 | can u satisfy me |
SlothcoreSam
10.10.21 | On it Johnny. |
Divaman
10.10.21 | 10. Kanye West - Oh joy. It's Kanye. Ooo, he's sampled King Crimson at least. And it's a short one. He seems to have his own cheering section. I'll give him a 2.5 for throwing Fripp a few bucks. |
Ryus
10.10.21 | 10. kanye west - 3.8/5
not one of my favorites from mbdtf but still great |
ArsMoriendi
10.10.21 | The link for Power by Kanye is an advertisement, not the full-length song.
Phero was too lazy to link (shame shame) so Slothcore had to guess the right link I guess |
ArsMoriendi
10.10.21 | "Power"
I hate this song, but I'll try to go in with an open mind again. Lots of clapping, and no... there's the cheap King Crimson sample. This sucks. It's one thing to sample an obscure song or creatively chop up a famous song, but this is literally just him taking KC's most famous moment from their most famous song and making it the center of his own song with little else to spice it up. Also what the hell was that edit? Fuck that, I'm rating the full version. The way he raps is so annoying like he has a weird valley girl intonation. To say some nice things about it: it's not boring the strings are nice and the overall mixing is good. Kanye's persona post-Graduation is just being a weird egomaniac though, no wonder he was a Trumper for a while.
2/5 |
SlothcoreSam
10.10.21 | Lol, I added the short version to save you Ars.
Will fix now. |
SlothcoreSam
10.10.21 | 8. International Player's Anthem. 3.0. Takes a while to get going 1:20 in and we finally hear a beat. This is nice chill rap. Nice mix of rappers, keeping the flow going smoooothly.
9. The Tern and The Swallow. 2.8. I guess this would be a great first song to play at a wake. Great piano and vocals, I wonder if you're family and friends would connect the lyrics to you? If I ever die, the first song playing at my wake will be, Rage against the machine's Wake Up. And by the end of the song when Zac is screaming Wake up, all the guests will be in tears. |
Divaman
10.10.21 | Thanks Sloth. It was a lovely wake, even if Johnny kept putting his feet up on my casket. And thanks for the flowers (and the quality beer) Pangea. |
deathofasalesman
10.10.21 | 1. 3.4
2. 2.2
3. 3.6

5. 3.7
6. 3.8 - unique
7. 3.9
8. 4.1 - production is incredible |
fogza
10.11.21 | 11. Tiamat: Gaia - Look, I guess it's me, but this just looks and sounds cheesy. The guy staring into the distance with that crazy earnest vocal and those first draft lyrics, I just can't. 2 |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.11.21 | no fantasy without cheese boooooooo |
quetzal
10.11.21 | faith no more - the crab song because i'm a crab |
quetzal
10.11.21 | "Look, I guess it's me, but this just looks and sounds cheesy."
would never use cheesy as a negative for a metal band, that's part of the charm |
fogza
10.11.21 | It's a taste I never acquired I'm afraid... "Look metal, it's not you, it's me" |
dedex
10.11.21 | 11. Gaia - yeah i've also always had trouble with their sound. 2.5 |
Pangea
10.11.21 | 11. Gaia - i like some cheesy metal but this is not my kind of cheese. 2.7 |
Divaman
10.11.21 | 11. Tiamat - Slowish tempo w/synths. Low, kind of crappy vocals. Nice, dark feel, though. It was alright. I embrace the cheese. 3.1 |
SlothcoreSam
10.11.21 | 10. Power. 3.5 Apparently Kanye spent 5000 hours on this song.
11. Gaia. 2.9 Nice slow build up, vocals sound like a South Park character trying to sing. I like the mood it sets, and some of the lyrics, probably would have been better in Swedish.
12. Firewood, 3.6 guitars sound a bit like Weezer's Undone at times. Good song, nice transitions throughout, I'll have to check the album again.
|
SlothcoreSam
10.11.21 | Quetzal is making my life easy, picking a song off the theme album. |
dedex
10.12.21 | 12. Firewood - "just hit middle age, jaded, bored by myself, struggling to maintain or make friendships, and insulated from the world" here are some good vibes for a good dude 🔥✊💪. Song is likewise lit. 3.7 |
fogza
10.12.21 | dedex 🤜🤛 |
quetzal
10.12.21 | "Quetzal is making my life easy, picking a song off the theme album."
i just saw the album art lol, crab song is so good tho |
fogza
10.12.21 | mad props to sam, the list of songs is almost done and a fair number of people are actually rating. |
Egarran
10.12.21 | Yeah. It's almost like he doesn't deserve all that goodwill.
/still salty |
SlothcoreSam
10.12.21 | Lol, you guys are doing all the worth.
And what you salty about Ega?
Did I rate a song of yours low? 😂
|
Ryus
10.12.21 | 11. gaia - 3.0/5
not bad, not crazy about the vocals. not as doomy as i would have liked i think
12. pile - firewood 3.6/5
nice progression to this tune |
Drifter
10.12.21 | Jay-Z - Diamond is Forever
Album: The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyiBrW5xGlc |
Divaman
10.12.21 | 12. Pile - Mid-speed electric acoustic guitar intro, followed by a mournful male vocal. Music is just a little sour, then gets even more harsh. 2.7 |
Egarran
10.12.21 | you know what you did, sam
and that cry-laughing emoji ain't helping one bit 👿 |
SlothcoreSam
10.12.21 | Yo even Drifter has joined the party, and he is even more pissed at me then Egarran is.
Will update everything in a sec. |
Divaman
10.12.21 | Grr! We hate you Sam! (We really love you.) |
quetzal
10.12.21 | surprised so many people haven't heard wildhoney, that album is a classic
whatever that hurts is the best song on there though, it's all about hallucinogens
|
fogza
10.13.21 | 13. Oxbow: GAL - Ok, not really understanding the entrance story but let's face it, it is JOTW. Intense, Oxbow are pretty cool, I should get on the rest of their records when I'm in the headspace for it. 3.8 |
deathofasalesman
10.13.21 | 9. 3.2 - gentle, very sweet
10. 3.7 - iconic
11. 3.1 - not totally sure how i feel about this one, especially the vocals, but i can get behind the synths
12. 4.6 - this is the first song i wanted to listen to immediately again after. puts me in a sort of trance, and i love everything about it |
dedex
10.13.21 | 13. GAL - yup, cool shit. weird shit too. aight. 3.7 |
Scheumke
10.13.21 | Aight I see there's a place left for me still nice. I'll add Moron Police - Beware the Blue Skies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZeJArPDanI). Happy go lucky prog with a little melancholy at the end, which pretty much captures my personality I think. |
Divaman
10.13.21 | 13. Oxbow - Weird noises. Holy crap, wtf is up with this vocalist? Jesus Christ. Johnny, I'm coming to Japan later today just to bite you on the ankle. Why do you do this to me so early in the morning? 1.2 |
dedex
10.13.21 | "I'm coming to Japan later today just to bite you on the ankle"
super kinky |
Divaman
10.13.21 | I don't know exactly where Johnny is, but I've been watching a bunch of YouTube videos of those cool Japanese overnight ferries from one island to another. I'm thinking I'll just ride around on some of those until I find him. |
Pangea
10.13.21 | nah you gotta bait him to you. i recommend blasting seiko oomori on speakers |
Egarran
10.13.21 | Nah the real secret to baiting him out is to play Tool. |
JefferyBigglestein2
10.13.21 | black skinhead by kanye west |

10.13.21 | 300 BITCHES WHERE THE TROJANS |
SlothcoreSam
10.13.21 | Nice, we got Scheumke and bigglez in the house. Only 1 spot left.
I'm liking all the diversity this month, and double Ye! |
madrigal30
10.13.21 | alright my rec is railing by glocca morra |
SlothcoreSam
10.13.21 | Just checked railing madrigal, short and sweet, why haven't i checked Glocca Morra before? Will change that ASAP.
Month is full, but will take any additional first time recs, if they pop up. |
Divaman
10.13.21 | Ya got a score there, norm? |
Egarran
10.13.21 | I'm feeling a 3.2 on that one |
Ryus
10.13.21 | 13. gal - 4.0/5
should prob check this band one of these days. sweet build up, nice twisted vocals |
deathofasalesman
10.13.21 | 13. 3.6
I enjoy the restless, menacing vocals. The music paints a portrait of violence, I just wish the song ventured further into the dark abyss that it desperately circles about |
madrigal30
10.13.21 | glocca morra is the best early 2010s emo band and they morphed into the absolutely mind bending spirit of the beehive soooo |
fogza
10.14.21 | 14. Candlemass: The Man Who Fell from the Sky - Yeah so this isn't my thing, but it is short and there's no vocals which is a plus. 2.8 |
dedex
10.14.21 | 14. The Man Who Fell from the Sky - yah heavy doomy shit m/ m/ 3.8
also yes to Glocca Morra |
Pangea
10.14.21 | 12. Pile - this doesn't really do much to me. The vocalist kind of sounds like an unpleasant combination of a country and a emo singer to me. 2.7
13. Gal - The fuck are these vocals. 2.5
14. The Man Who Fell From the Sky - Riffs hard m/. it doesn't do much else but it is a pretty nice riff. 3.2 |
fogza
10.14.21 | *sigh* there goes my hopes of finally winning one of these |
Pangea
10.14.21 | if it makes you feel better, i have been participating for over a 1.5 years and i haven't won yet either
which probably won't happen this month too lol |
fogza
10.14.21 | lmao, i do feel a bit better... i seem to remember your pick was like a super popular album on sput, so maybe it's your turn finally |
Pangea
10.14.21 | it is popular, but i'm not sure our crew will be the audience for it. I guess we'll see though
Ars will hate it btw, i'm looking forward to his rating
|
Trifolium
10.14.21 | WOW I actually listened to these this time!
1. The Drugs Don't Work (Slothcore Sam) - I mean, they are making quite the entrance on that street. I think this is my least fave from the album, but I still enjoy it. 3.0
2. Piece Of Me (porcupinetheater) - YES! Yes yes YES! Absolute banger. Suits you 💖 4.1
3. Thoughts in Transit (bloodshy) - Alt rock vibe, nothing wrong with that. Kind of something wrong with it, a bit bland. 2.6
4. Party Anthem (someone) - Good entrance theme yes. That opening half a minute, before the band kicks in. I can imagine Gene entering a room gracefully in slow motion. Long but energetic strides. Etc. Song itself is 3.5
5. Comfort (ArsMoriendi) - Yeah Ars. This suits you. Goofy yet serious. A strange mixture between calm and serious and unpredictable and fun. 3.6
|
Trifolium
10.14.21 | 6. Truey Jeans (Aberf) - Good opening riff. Strange vox and strange post-opening music. I think this would fit! But I do not like it. This does not mean I don't like you of course (🤗🥰😍)... 1.2
7. Beercan (SmallMess) - Groove, cool vibe, I could see this work as an entrance song. And what an entrance it would be! 4.1
8. International Player's Anthem (normaloctagon) - Oh my, speaking of What an entrance!!!! Suits you occy. As a song 3.3
9. The Tern and the Swallow (Divaman) - Hmmmm yes Diva. Good pick. Nicely feels-heavy. Calm and graceful! 3.3
10. Power (Pheromone) - Hype for Phero. Fitting. Wherever, whenever he enters the room turns into a raging crowd. 3.4 |
Divaman
10.14.21 | 14. Candlemass - Slow, heavy, rumbling guitars. Definitely good wrestling music - it reeks of menace. It's a little samey, though. It gets off to a good start, but then just repeats itself. Still, at least what it repeated was decent. 3.2 |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.14.21 | wrestling lol |
Divaman
10.14.21 | That's it, Johnny! I challenge you to a barbed-wire cage match! |
Divaman
10.14.21 | I'll need some coffee first, though. |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.14.21 | i have elbows and a shitton of empty winebottles under my sink so uh
bring it? |
Trifolium
10.14.21 | Elbows under your sink?!??!?!??!?!?!?!???!?!?! What is this craziness?!??!??! |
Trifolium
10.14.21 | Apparently I need to brush off my English plumbing terminology. False alarm. Please proceed with the match. |
Divaman
10.14.21 | *Throws scalding coffee on Johnny* |
Divaman
10.14.21 | *Regrets it immediately. Climbs out of ring while Johnny is screaming, "My eyes! My eyes!" Goes to concession stand and buys more coffee, to drink this time.* |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.14.21 | classic old man move i came prepared gloves off glasses on |
Divaman
10.14.21 | *Apologizes profusely to Johnny* |
Divaman
10.14.21 | It's probably a bad omen for me in this match that I chose music for my wake, huh? |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.14.21 | i for one will be grateful for the nap time |
Egarran
10.14.21 | Yup Diva, you ruined your shot at immortality there |
Divaman
10.14.21 | Ah, immortality is very overrated. I'm looking forward to a rest. |
Ryus
10.14.21 | 14. candlemass - 2.0/5
yeah not my style at all. never liked doom metal anyway and this is on the worse end |
Drifter
10.14.21 | yall are definitely gonna hate my one lmao. think it fits the theme pretty well tho
i made a playlist of all the songs on apple music so im gonna try and go through that soon |
SlothcoreSam
10.14.21 | Yo never know Drifter, Kanye West is winning at the moment |
Ryus
10.14.21 | na drifter you got a good one |
SlothcoreSam
10.14.21 | 13. Gal. 3.1 How does one shake their booty to this? Vocals are very messy, gives me vibes of a The Birthday Party's live set.
14. The Man Who Fell From The Sky. 3.5 Ooh shit yeah, this is definitely an entrance theme, for wrestling, or coming out on stage. just the way the riff gets louder, then you get the distorted guitar. It kinda sounds like an original ECW theme.
15. Triassic. 4.2 This has a great build, tight instruments, oh I know this song now, took until the vocals kicked in.
This would be a slow introduction, the first 3 minutes would be Pangea slowly creeping around the room, then as the vocal grow heavy Pangea will get up all in your face for a couple of seconds, then go back to sneaking around until the 4th minute, where Pangea will get up on the table in front of everyone and expose his prehistoric self. The song rules by the way. |
fogza
10.15.21 | 15. The Ocean: Triassic - The concept sounds grand but the lyrics aren't up to the task. First half is ok but then there's those typical silly vocals and the guitar tone starts to get annoying. High IQ low EQ. 2.3 |
Divaman
10.15.21 | 15. The Ocean - Sparse guitar intro, almost reminiscent of an old Western. Takes almost two and a half minutes for the vocals to kick in. They're doubled vocals, and they're deliberately kind of robotic. Little screaming going on in the choruses. Halfway through I'm kind of liking it. Let's see if they keep me....They did, somewhat. I'll go 3.4. |
Divaman
10.16.21 | 16. Turnstile - Good guitar intro. Slacker vocals. Just a taste of keyboard for accent. Pretty decent. Whoa, total turn of direction at the 2-minute mark. 3.0 |
SlothcoreSam
10.16.21 | 16. Blackout. 4.5 Yeah this was one of my top played songs last month too. Grungey Punk is something I can listen to all day. It reminds me a lot of the Australian band Violent Soho, check them if you haven't already. |
Ryus
10.16.21 | 15. triassic - 2.5/5
this is tooo long man
16. blackout - 3.6/5
didnt love this as much as others did, fun tune though for sure |
fogza
10.16.21 | 16. Turnstile: Blackout - This was adequate for the first two minutes, didn't like the end. 2.8 |
deathofasalesman
10.17.21 | 14. RIFFS, RIFFS RIFFS - 3.5
15. Pretty groovy, epic - 3.4
16. Really like where these guys are taking hardcore - 4.1 |
Divaman
10.17.21 | 17. Parliament - A helicopter with an emu. Oops, never mind, that was a commercial. OK, for real. Funky beat with gang vocals. Not generally my favorite genre, but this isn't bad. 3.0 |
fogza
10.18.21 | 17. Parliament: Flashlight - It's funky. 3.3 Extra 0.3 because this works particularly well with the theme this month |
dedex
10.18.21 | 15. Triassic - hell yeah, badass tune m/ 4.2
16. Flashlight - omg that's some funky shit. 3.8
17. Daemons - yes. 3.9 |
fogza
10.18.21 | 18. Fatboy Slim: Deamons - I remember liking this in the 00's. Hearing it now it's still pretty good but FS is a bit, I dunno, dated or something. 3.5 |
Pangea
10.18.21 | 16. Blackout - 🔥 track for a 🔥 user. 4.2
17. Flashlight - this fu()ks. 4.3
18. Daemons - nice & soulful, just like trif. 3.5 |
Divaman
10.18.21 | 18. Fatboy Slim - Kind of Gospel-ish beginning. Oh crap, it's Macy Gray. I hate her voice. This isn't actually terrible, but it's not my thing either. 2.5 |
dedex
10.18.21 | > Oh crap, it's Macy Gray. I hate her voice.
🤬 |
Divaman
10.18.21 | What? The woman needs throat lozenges. |
Trifolium
10.18.21 | Her voice is 100% omg perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Divaman
10.18.21 | Ugh. |

10.19.21 | 19. Rammstein: Morgenstern - I see the theme coming through strongly, but I just straight up fucking hate this band's schtick. 2 |
dedex
10.19.21 | 19. Morgenstern - i don't really care about this band, and the same can be said about this song. 2.7 |
Pangea
10.19.21 | 19. Morgenstern - yes very rammstein. it is good. 3.5 |
Divaman
10.19.21 | 19. Rammstein - Faux choral beginning followed by low male German spoken vocal. This one is a little long, clocking in at over 7 minutes. But I like Rammstein, so I'll cope. This one seems like kind of average Rammstein. Whoa, what's the deal here. It came to a dead stop at a little over 4 mins in. Is this just a weird YouTube video, or the lead-in to a hidden track? Nope nothing. Guess that was it. So it's actually a 4 minute song. 3.2 |
Ryus
10.19.21 | 17. flashlight - 3.2/5
honestly never really been that into p-funk. heard this before and its perfectly fine, just not something i really care about hearing again.
18. demons - 3.3/5
decent enough, this isnt my favorite style of electronic at all though.
19. morgenstern - 1.9/5
those verses are awful and the chorus isnt great either yeah not my thing |
dedex
10.20.21 | 20. Twilight - fun cheese. 3.5
21. Hold On - cool. not very epic but still cool. 3.6 |
Pangea
10.20.21 | 20. Twilight - ELO are so much fun. 4.2 |
Pangea
10.20.21 | psss dedex you skipped twilight
|
dedex
10.20.21 | oopsie doopsie i muffed it up again, thanks for the reminder panpan |
fogza
10.20.21 | 20. ELO: Twilight - I'm not sure how to feel about this one. Lots of the elements of this are things I like and actually recognise as influential on other stuff I love, but I feel like it's not clicking yet. I'll give it a cautious 3.3 for now and will investigate further to see if context changes that. |
Divaman
10.20.21 | 20. Electric Light Orchestra - Keyboard intro. Seems like average ELO - OK, but vocals are a little silly. 3.0 |
Ryus
10.20.21 | 20. twilight - 1.8/5
yeah this pretty horrid, not the good kind of cheese. |
Minushuman24
10.21.21 | MCDF sorry everybodyyyy |
Dewinged
10.21.21 | Oh damn ELO flopped :( |
dedex
10.21.21 | sometimes the world is a cruel cruel place |
fogza
10.21.21 | 21. Pearl Jam: Hold on - I never really listen to PJ anymore, but I loved them back in the day. The backbone of this sounds very much like the same DNA as 'Alive', and yep, it's a Ten outtake. I don't know why I'm not excited by this, but it's pretty good. 3.5 |
Divaman
10.21.21 | 21. Pearl Jam - Guitar intro. Slow-to-mid-tempo. Eddie's vocal starts out straining a little, then settles in. Jeez, how many syllables in "end", Eddie? Weird ass chorus, certainly not an easy singalong. Pearl Jam is kind of hit or miss for me, and this one is more of a miss. 2.8 |
Koris
10.21.21 | Oh shit, we're on mine now! This month is going by really quickly |
Ryus
10.21.21 | 21. hold on - 2.5/5
not really a fan of this band, this is pretty average overall though. more chill than i was expecting but not particularly interesting
22. steelwinged savage reaper - 1.5/5
yeah im sorry this is probably my least favorite type of music lol. not much i dig here |
Ryus
10.21.21 | jeez im on a bad streak with these last few |
fogza
10.22.21 | 22. Wolf: Steelwinged Savage Reaper - And the dragon comes in the niiiiiiiiiiiiiight! Seriously though this is absolute poop. 1 |
Koris
10.22.21 | Damn, tough crowd this month judging by a lot of the ratings on the list |
dedex
10.22.21 | 22. Steelwinged Savage Reaper - don't like the vocalz but there are some riffz. 2.7 |
Divaman
10.22.21 | 22. Wolf - Fast guitar intro. High-pitched vocals. Not my thing, but it's OK. 2.8 |
fogza
10.23.21 | 23. Night flowers - It's ok. 3 |
Divaman
10.23.21 | 23. Night Flowers - Mid-tempo strummed guitar intro, female vocals. Off to a good start. 3.3 |
fogza
10.24.21 | 24. 311: Freeze time - Feels like Crazytown meets early Beastie Boys but with weak flow. It did not work for me. 2.3 |
dedex
10.24.21 | 23. Night Flowers - perfect description and a lovely gaze tune. 3.7
24. Freeze Time - gotta agree with fogzy on the weak flow. 2.6 |
Ryus
10.24.21 | 23. night flowers - 3.3/5
yeah this is pleasant, nothing particularly unique to my ears but pleasant.
24. freeze time - 1.9/5
lmao that guitar riff is so damn bland. and not a fan of the rapping at all lol. not much to catch my ear here |
Divaman
10.24.21 | 24. 311 - Chugging bass lick. Uh oh. What's this? Linkin Park on ludes? Not for me. My wife said she kind of liked it. But I'm scoring it, not her. 2.4 |
fogza
10.25.21 | 25. RP Boo: Haters Increase The Heat! - I don't really understand what makes something like this appealing (or what I should be looking for), so for me this was a bit boring. 2.2 |
dedex
10.25.21 | 25. Haters Increase The Heat! - i imagine Ryus entering the room like a disarticulated robot with this on. 3.3 |
Divaman
10.25.21 | 25. RP Boo - wtf is this now? I can already tell you I'm definitely gonna increase the heat on this one. 1.8 |
dedex
10.26.21 | 26. The Crab Song - 🦀. takes some time to truly kickoff but when it does it's typical FNM. it's coo. 3.5 |
fogza
10.26.21 | 26. FNM: The Crab Song - Mosley era FNM is hilarious, he's got such crazy vocal tics. Has some dated elements but it's good. 3.5 |
Divaman
10.26.21 | 26. Faith No More - This is one of those bands that I don't hate but have never really liked enough to go out and buy their stuff. Quiet intro, with some organ, some strummed guitar, and some guy talking. The talking guy is kind of annoying. OK, now he's singing. Oops, almost 3 minutes in, and it just started rocking. Vocal isn't great. Meh. 2.8 |
fogza
10.27.21 | 27. Jay-Z: Diamonds is Forever - It's an ok boast song I guess, for some reason it's not really making me want to clasp my lapels. 3.2 |
dedex
10.27.21 | 27. Diamond is Forever - you know big ballin' with my homies (my homiiiiiiiiies). 3.7 |
Divaman
10.27.21 | 27. Jay-Z - Oh God. Way too much hip-hop this month. This is better than some, but it's still painful. I would sworn it's over 5 minutes long, but it's less than 4. still too much for me. 2.0 |
Ryus
10.27.21 | "Way too much hip-hop this month."
the hip hop has been saving this month |
Ryus
10.27.21 | 26. the crab song – 2.5/5
yeah i hate this band but this is less annoying than most songs by them, most likely due to the lack of patton. the first half was alright but the second half sounded too faith no more-y to me. perfectly alright
27. diamonds is forever - 4/5
finally some good stuff
|
fogza
10.28.21 | 28. Moron Police: Beware the Blue Skies - Too many flourishes that put me off, and not crazy about the vocal. 2.5
|
dedex
10.28.21 | 28. Beware the Blue Skies - not too crazy about the vocals either. kinda coo track tho. 2.9 |
Ryus
10.28.21 | 28. beware the blue skies - 1.3/5
yeah im sorry this is basically the antithesis of what i look for in music lol. the last minute or so was slightly less bad so +0.3 for that |
Ryus
10.28.21 | 29. black skinhead - 4.8/5
yea just gonna get this one out of the way rn bc its its a fuckin classic. biggles w the amazing rec as we all should have expected. best kanye album |
Divaman
10.28.21 | 28. Moron Police - Band name doesn't exactly give me confidence, but let's see. '80ish synth opening. Hmm. This actually isn't that bad. A little cheesy, but I can live with that. I don't love the slowdown at the end, though. 3.0 |
ArsMoriendi
10.28.21 | I need to catchup on this… maybe tomorrow |
SlothcoreSam
10.29.21 | 17. Flashlight. 3.5.pretty funky, but 1 minute of this is enough, maybe would work in a montage of a breakdancing movie.
18. Daemons. 2.8 Yeah Macy Gray's voice is cringe. Fatboy has a lot of better tracks than this.
19. Morgernstern. 3.0 This feels more like an entrance song for someone who works in a morgue. I love me some Rammstein, but maybe not as much as I used to.
20. Twilight, 3.3 Oh this time we are making our entrance in an 80s movie. I need to do a discog run on these guys, what drugs would you recommend?
21. Hold On. 3.2 I don't know if I have heard this before, sounds like it could be off the Into The Wild soundtrack, but way before the time. Eddie's voice is one of the most recognisable and soooo good. Not enough happens on this song, maybe if they fully worked it, it would be better. Hopefully things get better for you Death!
22. Steelwinged Savage Reaper. 2.5 Oh no, those vocals. The intro was promising, and musically I can fuck with this, dude just needs to loosen his jeans.
23. fireworks. 3.6 lol jesper, you are such a gentle soul. Like her voice. Don't know this band at all, but interested to check more, when I need to wind down.
24. Feeze Time. 3.0 I have not listened to 311 in forever. Oh yeah this style of music died off pretty quickly, those turntables are nowhere to be seen in punky/ grungey music anymore, and for a good reason. Song is good, but again 20 years too late, I have outgrown this style. WatchItExplode's entrance would be hilarious though.
25. Haters Increase The Heat!. 3.3 Now this is a cool entrance theme. Could see Ryus popping all the way to dancefloor, it's all about waht he chooses next though, you can go anywhere after this. |
SlothcoreSam
10.29.21 | 26. The Crab Song. 4.9. Best song of the month easy, it would be a 5 if it wasn't for Chuck's vocals, like they work 90% of the time, but there are certain words he enunciates that are instant cringe. This is also top 10 FNM for me as well, and FNM were my fav band from 1989 to 1993, I know I'm old.
27. Diamonds is Forever. 4.0. Jay Z is on his game on this one, even if he is a skinny n.
28. Beware the Blue Skies. 2.7 Best cover art of the month, these Norwegians can create good music, but I do not like the vocals, or the delivery of the vocals.
29. Black Skinhead. 4.8 What Can I say, it's a classic and the ultimate entrance theme. Kanye could win this month, Fuck Biggels could win this month.
30. Railing. 4.5 Discog run on this band happening ASAP!!! This is my type of music, angry, Messy, distorted, short and fast. Mikey with the Goods!
31. Ceremony. 4.5 I haven't listened to this since it came out. Again, Minus knows what I like, this would make a cool entrance theme, nice riffy guitars with some cool short solos, punchy fast drums, and snotty vocals. This month ended on a high. |
SlothcoreSam
10.29.21 | Will update the list tomorrow.
Thanks for some great tunes, one of the most eclectic, top quality months in a while. But hey, I'm biased. |

10.29.21 | I think people were pandering to the host a bit, or maybe all my friends showed up! 😊🍻 |
fogza
10.29.21 | 29. Kanye West: Black Skinhead - Totally crazy, Kanye wants you to get PUMPED. 4.5 |
dedex
10.29.21 | 29. Black Skinhead - yup, damn classic. 4.5
30. Railing - wah i only listened to Just Married but this tune is effing great too. 4.1
31. Ceremony - short and sweet punky anthem. this month ended very well. 3.8 |
fogza
10.29.21 | Dunno why everyone is finishing early, but why not...
30. Glocca Morra: Railing - Pretty good punk-y garage-y indie fireball. 3.7
31. Ceremony: MCDF - Is it weird that I got a bit bored during a 2 minute song? 2.5 |
Divaman
10.29.21 | I'm up for hosting next month, unless someone else has a burning desire. |
fogza
10.29.21 | No objections here |
Divaman
10.29.21 | 29. Kanye West (2) - Second Kanye song within a month. Imagine my excitement. No, really. Imagine it, and when you do, tell me what it looks like. Barking, snarling dogs. Crashing percussion and heavy breathing. Sounds a little like Gary Glitter's Rock & Roll Part 2. Oops, there's Kanye, ruining it. Ugh. 2.0 |
Divaman
10.30.21 | 30. Glocca Morra - Heavy guitar, screaming vocals. Short, tasteful punk song. 3.2 |
SlothcoreSam

10.30.21 | black skinhead yeaaaaaaaaa |
Divaman
10.31.21 | 31. Ceremony - Yeah, not really my kind of punk. 2.7 |
Ryus
10.31.21 | 30. glocca morra – 3.1/5
cute little punk tune, not my thing but not bad
31. mcdf - 3.4/5
whoa this is nothing like violence violence. fun song |
ArsMoriendi
10.31.21 | I will catch up on this soonish |
Divaman
10.31.21 | The November SOTD list is now up. |
ArsMoriendi
10.31.21 | "Gaia"
This is boring. Not much else to say, it's very light for metal?
2.5/5
"Firewood"
Very 90s harsh indie with meh vocals. This is decent enough, but I don't love it.
3.5/5
"GAL"
Scary old man vocals and good bass. I'm intrigued. A song about rape is your party theme? You realize how worrying that is right? Music's good enough, but idk... not feeling it.
2.8/5
"The Man Who Fell from the Sky"
Metal riffs so far. This is just like a filler instrumental. Meh.
2.5/5
"Triassic"
A slow atmospheric buildup so far. Unexpected robotic vocals. And now here's the metal riffs and growling, no thanks. Yeah, I hate this.
1.5/5
"Blackout"
Vocals are pop punkish, not a great start. +.1 for good cowbell usage though, too bad the majority of this sucks.
2.3/5
|
ArsMoriendi
10.31.21 | "Flash Light"
This is a masterpiece, but it's only like the 3rd best song on Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome. That album is a funk rock masterpiece. Look at that bass and those synths and those sexy vocals. Shine the spotlight on Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk to make him dance to win the alien war! Wacked out and fun. If you don't love Parliament, maybe question your reality because this is why music exists.
5/5
"Demons"
Angelic intro and who doesn't like those little crackles? Oh Macy Gray! I like her voice a lot honestly, but I typically find the songs she sings to be kinda boring, so it's a perfect match to put her with Fatboy Slim to spice her up. This is cool.
3.9/5
"Morgenstern"
This is industrial METAL. Or maybe just metal because I heard no machine sounds. Wait there are the industrial parts. Kinda bland, but not awful.
2.8/5
"Twilight"
Corny 80s synths, oh no. ELO is so hit or miss, either they're amazing or painful and this is painful, gaudy garbage.
2/5
"Hold On"
I wish I liked Eddie Vedder's voice, it's so muffled in the worst way, but the guitars are cool. Pearl Jam is such a conflicting band for me.
2.8/5
"Steelwinged Savage Reaper"
Do you think thrash metal bands ever get tired of trying too hard to sound like the cool guy while mostly appealing to nerds? I don't know what else to say about this other than "boring."
2.4/5
"Fireworks"
Pretty light dream pop stuff. This is pleasant. Not unique or really hitting me or anything, but it's good regardless.
3.6/5
"Freeze Time"
Why though. Bad signing, the way the record scratching was used felt corny.
Haha, that rapping sounds bad. Is this supposed to be goofy or is it serious? I can't tell. What does this 3-minute song feel like it's 7 minutes.
2/5 |
ArsMoriendi
10.31.21 | "Haters Increase The Heat!"
This is unique, but I don't particularly like it. It sounds weirdly empty. It's not awful though.
3.1/5
"The Crab Song"
The introduction to this song is so dumb and not in a funny way. Chuck Mosely can't sing and these lyircs are meh. Mike Patton replacing him was the best decsion Faith No More ever made.
2.1/5
"Diamonds is Forever"
This is whatever hip hop. Didn't connect to this, but it's not awful.
3/5
"Beware the Blue Skies"
Why does this sound like 3D Sonic the Hedgehog opening level music? It's not awful, but kinda generic other than the synths. Intro with the accordian is the best part.
3/5
"Black Skinhead"
I have Yeezus 1'd so uh... I remember hearing this for the first time and being like: fuck this. This song is so empty and bland, but I guess the lyrics are fine. Then again this is Kanye, so you know he doesn't believe what he's saying. The dude liked Trump just cuz he's attracted to egomaniacs. Hearing this song was the beginning of that terrible egomania too or at least when I started noticing it.
1/5
"Railing"
Not a fan of the vocals, but the guitar line is kinda cool.
2.7/5
"MCDF"
Weird production and weird vocals, but somehow I'm not annoyed by this. This is starting to wear on me a bit, but it's over! These guys know when to end a song, good job!
3.4/5 |

22. Steelwinged Savage Reaper - this is very corny, but i had fun. 3.3
23. Fireworks - beauty of a song. 4.3
24. Freeze Time - ehhhh kind of mid nu-metal. 2.7
25. Haters Increase the Heat - sample grew tired quickly and the song kinda feels empty. 2.3
26. The Crab Song - if you're trying to write an energetic song, it's probably better if the vocalist doesn't sound like he hasn't slept in 5 days. 2.7
27. Diamonds is Forever - yeah fun hip hop song. 3.5
28. Beware the Blue Skies - this did make me happy. 4.0
29. Black Skinhead - great ye track. 3.7
