DungeonBoy
03.30.20 | what was your favorite song? |

Pangea
03.30.20 | still have to listen to the trif song today though (already know the boc song of tomorrow) |
DungeonBoy
03.30.20 | hmm.. well it's cheating cause my favorite was the Agalloch song, which is from one of my handful of 5's. Maybe the Leonard Cohen jam Famous Blue Raincoat. I have only ever jammed his first album which I adore, but his voice and songwriting are so incredibly moving to me. |
JustJoe.
03.30.20 | i may make an appearance |

03.30.20 | My favorite song of March was "California Dreamin'". My favorite that I hadn't been previously familiar with was a tie between "Fire Above, Ice Below" and Nano. |

03.30.20 | Mine was also "California Dreamin'". Glad you somewhat dug "Fire Above, Ice Below" Divadude! |

03.30.20 | Famous Blue Raincoat was my favorite from last month. Such a lovely tune. |

JohnnyoftheWell
03.30.20 | No it's dumber but less abusive |
SlothcoreSam
03.30.20 | Is the theme related to COVID, or isolating, or the apocalyptic demise of humankind? |
Minushuman24
03.30.20 | Or is it a "go outside and enjoy the weather" playlist. Although I guess that would be more abusive. Hm. |

03.30.20 | "If the theme is on some web shit i swear to fuck johnny"
I've changed my mind - theme is that you can only rec a song if it has a Hatsune Miku cover available from whichever corner of the net |

03.31.20 | Craving for the theme |
Trifolium
03.31.20 | YESSSSS same! |
JohnnyoftheWell
03.31.20 | Okay the REAL THEME is as reductive as they come: you can only rec songs by artists whose names begin with the letter B
BUT to keep things interesting, only one rec per artist - no reusing anything by any B-name that someone else has gone for
this theme is a refinement on the original, unfeasible idea of having Boris recs only for the month - but to stay true to the orignal, Boris have an exemption clause and maybe rec'd by multiple people
get your alphabetically-sorted ratings charts out, kids |
dedex
03.31.20 | You know what Johnny, I'll rec a dude whose name begins with the letter B AND it's also something I love but everyone else will hate :)

03.31.20 | this should be fun
black midi - Western
I didn't know what to make of this band at first, but this track really stood out to me when I first heard it, and it has grown to be one of my favorite songs from last year. Some really weird song structuring and styling here that is overall just enjoyable to immerse yourself with.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYMTZ5fcSZE |

03.31.20 | oh how I want to rec Bell With - Mirror Reaper, but let's do something heavy this month
Burst - Iris : https://youtu.be/0WtU8ROWOkQ
This song gets me pumped, and this band is criminally unknown. Of of my favorite things to ever come out of Sweden, and one of Relapse Records hidden treasures for sure. It's heavy but also proggy, melodic but also dissonant, and just groovy as hell. |

03.31.20 | Breag Naofa does slay m/ |
Minushuman24
03.31.20 | there is so many b boys in the world, but so little recs. hmmm |
Divaman
03.31.20 | Yeah, Doof, I'm with you on that one. I've kind of gotten used to it, because it's become so prevalent. But there's still a tiny little part of me that wants to take all of the people who alphabetize by first names, douse them all in kerosene, strike a match and watch them ALL GO UP IN FLAMES, SHRIEKING IN AGONY AS THE FLESH MELTS OFF THEIR BONES! BURN! BURN YOU BASTARDS! AH HA! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! YES, BURN! EVERY LAST DAMNED ONE OF YOU! ...
Um, yeah. I might be a little teensy bit OCD myself, though. |

Lord(e)Po)))ts
03.31.20 | Ok so I'm going to just get ahead of the curve and slap both of my recs down right now and you can just add the second one once things inevitably slow down and we get to that.
Black Light Smoke - Firefly (from Firefly)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8pyhLfO5JI
Discovered this accompanying Francis Harris and multiple Nic Jaar projects on the incredible soundtrack to Ana Lily Amipour's apocalyptic cannibal desert acid trip of a movie The Bad Batch. The heavy coldwave influences on Black Light Smoke's brand of deep house make this track brilliantly dystopian, feverish, and seductive.
Bearcubs - Underwaterfall (from Underwaterfall)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h27zbiA94WU
My introduction track to Bearcubs and most played song of 2017. What James Blake might sound like today if he still had his testitcles. |

04.01.20 | Medicina - Interesting track and kinda odd sounding. Really enjoyed the guitar work and the vocals sounded pretty good alongside it. 3.8 |
Pangea
04.01.20 | "Medicina"
this is really cool. love the vocals and how it picks up about halfway through. some nice guitar work too
3.9 |
Bedex
04.01.20 | Johnny just to clarify, the track is II but it doesn't come from the album II, it comes from their self-titled record here https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=97480 |

04.02.20 | I thoroughly hated Booba, sorry dedex, 1/5 |
dmathias52
04.02.20 | Medicina - 4.0
Gave a couple of extra points because I really did not like their most recent album. Vocals were much better and just enough craziness to feel natural and not over the top for the sake of it |
JohnnyoftheWell
04.02.20 | ^also was definitely not into their latest, and started with that. SO glad I bothered to check their first, it's a lot stronger and v fun (also for anyone commenting on the guitar work, that's acctcchually a homemade instrument with a madeup name fyi l o l) |
bgillesp
04.02.20 | Wouldn’t mind checking that whole album from today’s rec if I wasn’t so dang far behind on stuff already |
Divaman
04.02.20 | Booba - 1.3 - Ugh. Sorry guys, I just don't like hip-hop, although I guess it's marginally better in French where I can't understand all the "mf'er"s, etc. |
dedex
04.02.20 | whooooooo let's start the HATE
i thoroughly enjoy that track btw
|
Divaman
04.02.20 | Don't mean to dis you dedex. |

04.02.20 | no worries man I expected such reactions |

04.02.20 | 1. Medicina - 4.1
2. Kalash - 1.0 this isn't the language of love |
Scheumke
04.02.20 | Damn I've got so little with a B. I think I'd make very few people happy with a Between the Buried and Me, so I'll go with another one that's probably hit or miss (usually I miss haha): Bleeding Through - Sister Charlatan. https://youtu.be/gu9eTNd1uVk. Song gets my blood pumping every time. |

04.02.20 | "Kalash"
This is pretty fun

Uzu, I can't find a working link for either of yours :[ |
Scheumke
04.02.20 | Haha nps Johnny.. Good to see so many people joining in, and on the second day of the month no less. |
DungeonBoy
04.02.20 | Kalash - I don't know what the song is about, but the gun sounds in the beginning lead me to believe it's not wholesome content. Songs fine I guess, probably would never listen to it, but it's not like it's terrible. 2.5? |

Here’s the one for Blaptophobia; I forgot how much of a stinking little bitch that Before My Life Fails album is to track down, short of “shadily acquiring” it. |
Asdfp277
04.02.20 | 1. Buke and Gaze - "Medicina" [3.5]
catchy, like the vocals
2. Booba - "Kalash" [2.7]
it was not bad bad, but kinda boring and typical |
Divaman
04.02.20 | Wow, great job Johnny. You've got the whole month filled. |
Bedex
04.02.20 | ah my post from yesterday didn't go through
1 Medicina: 4.1 rich track, makes me want to check out the band for sure
2 Kalash: 3.75 the meme factor is just too stronk |

first time in a while at least! Not since year one for sure
So glad this is coming back a bit (: |
Divaman
04.03.20 | Black Midi - Some gentle guitar to start with. Tasteful choice. Holy crap, what the hell just happened?! Stop that! You're getting my cat agitated! Geez, why do bands do that? The guy's voice kind of sucks, too. Now he's got me all in a bad mood. All right, it's calmed down a little. I need some hot chocolate. Now it's getting all cacophonous again. Now it's all calm and quiet again. Make up your mind. About 30 seconds left. Good. Probably no more obnoxious spots. 2.3. |
Trifolium
04.03.20 | Yeah happy about that too neek! This thread is cozy and good. |
Scheumke
04.03.20 | Nah it's alright Joe, I've noticed I'm pretty much the same. Rec more than I review, last few times I listened to the first couple then either completely forgot about it or just didn't get to it. Thanks for offering though, you're a doll. |

04.03.20 | 3. Western - Already love that track. That band went from 'eh it's m'kay' on first listens to 'hell yeah these blokes are the music's future'. That drummer is bonkers. 4.3 |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.03.20 | damn this month fulled up wayyyy faster than usual and i'm just realizing the obvious reason why as i finish this sen |

04.03.20 | I'm a bit late on this one, but:
Medicina - Dang. I don't even know by what leap I managed to like this, but this is friggin cool. 4.0 |

04.03.20 | Kalash- 2.3 (trash is better when you can’t understand it)
Western- 3.4 (idk why I was expecting black metal) |

Asdfp277
04.03.20 | oh damn, rip :/// |
Pangea
04.03.20 | "Western"
This is probably their best song, i really like the guitar melodies in here. However, I'm not a big fan of this guy's voice which prevents me from really loving any of their songs. This is cool regardless though
3.5 |
JustJoe.
04.03.20 | no problem scheumke
🙏 |
JustJoe.
04.03.20 | rest in peace mr. withers
😕 |
Bedex
04.04.20 | Western - 3.8 one of the highlights of the album for sure, but unlike dexbro I haven't had time to truly get into the band just yet. Still nice
Cosmonaut - 4.1 huuuuge track |
Divaman
04.05.20 | Benjamin Damage - Not much going here outside of the percussion. What there is is kinda cool, but ... 2.8
Broods - Kind of slow. Vocal is decent. But not much else interesting to me. Vocal is carrying it. 2.7 |
anat
04.05.20 | 4. Obsidian - 3.2 - Not sure that "huge" is the right descriptor but it's a cool enough track
5. Never Gonna Change - 2.6 - Chorus is pretty cool but the rest sounds completely two a penny |
rellik009
04.05.20 | Booba - Kalash 3.0
*dies laughing* Ces paroles sont en train de me tuer ahaha I love it. It's so utterly dumb that I love it. Not very original or creative, but tons of fun.
Schlagenheim - Western 3.9
Great math rock, and the dynamics are fluid. Incredibly creative, and if I give this more time, I might just consider it an all-time fave. And goddamn it Diva your opinion sucks >:( |
dmathias52
04.05.20 | Kalash - This seems like solid hip-hop, but unfortunately I'm as American as they can get and since I don't understand the lyrics in a genre that I really listen to for lyrics, that's a bit of a bummer - 3.0
Western - There's a lot going on here and I think I like most of it? - 3.8
Cosmonaut - Cool track, but nothing necessarily drew me into it - 3.1
Never Gonna Change - This was good, but I was waiting for some sort of big peak that never came - 3.3 |
Divaman
04.06.20 | The Boxer Rebellion - What's all that random noise to start this? Yecch! I thought I liked these guys, but this is way noisier than I remember them. 2.9. |
dedex
04.06.20 | 4. Cosmonaut - Cold techno, I like that. The variations in the groove were not mind-blowing for techno, but it's well done fosho. 3.7
5. Never Gonna Change - I immediately linked them to Lorde, and heyo they're from NZ too so that might be the accent. Kinda like mathias, I was expecting a huge explosion that never came. 3.3
6. Flight - Cool moody alt rock with some crescendocore guitars. Not too big on this, but it's aight. 3.4 |
Divaman
04.06.20 | Judging by my scores, I'd say that my self-quarantining has made me way grumpier in April than I was in March. |
Minushuman24
04.06.20 | Time to actually do this |
Pangea
04.06.20 | "Cosmonaut"
This is really cool stuff. Love the beat 4.2
"Flight"
Not sure i dig the noisy guitar in here. The vocals are bit rough too.
2.6
|
dedex
04.07.20 | 7. Concubine - Maggad shit be cray cray. I think it works better """in the context of an album""". 2.6, but imma give these guys a discorun soon-ish so we'll see |
DungeonBoy
04.07.20 | Western - Interesting song structure agreed, definitely unexpected transition, kinda grating, but I do like the vocals more on the main upbeat verse. Weird song, don't really like it, but it's doing its thing, so.. 3
Cosmonaut - A bit too stiff in the beat dept for me. Some cool synth sounds but IDK kinda feels like it would be okay background music, but by the 4 minute mark I was definitely done with it. Not bad, but not for me. 3
Never Gonna Change - picks up nicely in the chorus, kinda dig it, good pop music. Produced really well. Not my style but I can dig it. 3.5
Flight - Sounds like it could be radio rock with some dude in the corner of the studio discovering feedback for the first time. Bass player is getting his groove on though. 2.5
Concubine - I didn't realize people actually listened to this band but this is the second time i'm listening to them for the song of the month. Genius or terrible? 2.0 |
Divaman
04.07.20 | Butthole Surfers - I hate this kind of stuff. The vocals are like root canal. 1.2 My grumpy streak continues. |
rellik009
04.07.20 | lol my memey rock song did not pass well |
dedex
04.07.20 | No worries rellik, my memey rap song didn't either |
rellik009
04.07.20 | you're absolutely right
let's hold up a beer to our memey taste, dedex |
ArsMoriendi
04.07.20 | All of those awful Butthole Surfer ratings... I guess it's time for me to play catchup |
bgillesp
04.07.20 | Time to catch up:
4. Cosmonaut- Wow that took a while for something to actually happen. Aaand now it’s back to nothing. Though the nothing isn’t anything horrible. Just a bland track overall for me. 3.0
5. Never Gonna Change- Dark but fuzzy, like a nice blanket on a cold sad day. 4.0
6. Flight- Good but not overly memorable. 3.7
7. Concubine- Well this one is certainly memorable. Idk, I kinda like it, but I’m sure it’s better with *context*. 3.9 |
Minushuman24
04.07.20 | I am sad to see the lack of Boris on this list |
ArsMoriendi
04.07.20 | "Medicina"
This is fairly noisy and fun. I like the scratchy tone of the guitar. Her voice is nasal, but in a good way. Honestly, I could easily see myself checking this album one day.
4.2/5
"Kalash"
Deep voiced euro-hop with trap snares! This is so lame, but I guess it's good I don't know what he's rapping about because that'd probably just lower the score, so plus for that?
2.3/4
"Western"
Nice bass and the floaty guitar is cool. Whoa, that was a stark change. I feel like a chrome rainbow just fell on me after laying in a field of hay. This kinda registers as cowpunk now? The Meat Puppets, but heavier? This is good. Oh, shit a bass solo! okay, this month is awesome so far. Is that banjo? Wow, that really fits. This is great. Fuck, I might have to check this REALLY soon. Someone remind me if I forget.
5/5 |
bgillesp
04.07.20 | Ars, you were supposed to 5 Medicina |
bgillesp
04.07.20 | I called it last week |
ArsMoriendi
04.07.20 | "Cosmonaut"
Good beat so far. Trif, DJ my party one day. It's a bit repetitive, but it's techno, right? That's kinda what a lot of techno is meant to be. I'm sitting listening to this when I should be at a club hearing this. Damn you Covid-19. Trif, come to Manhattan's gay bars and blast this shit once the pandemic is over. I'll be there. This month's going stronger than the past 10 so far!
3.7/5
"Never Gonna Change"
This is so generic aaaah. I wanna be nice, but this one is making it hard. This is the epitome of no inspiration and just trying to do what'll impress the masses (and I don't mean the Sput masses, I mean like just your average college sophomores or something.)
2.5/5
"Flight"
Lots of feedback so far, okay that's always cool. Vocals are slightly unpleasant, but not awful. This is pretty bland honestly now that it's reached its hook. I feel like this is impossible to hate though.
3.1/5
"Concubine"
No fair! I already love this album! This isn't one of my faves on it though. The way he says "scapula" is oddly the best and satisfies this odd primal thing I can't explain. Freaky psychedelic noise-punk is a godsend on humanity.
4.2/5 |
ArsMoriendi
04.07.20 | Should've picked Woly Boly, Relik, that'd have gotten a 5/5 outta me |
rellik009
04.07.20 | Cosmonaut - I am absolutely sure that in the right state, I will like this. Sadly, I didn't exactly like it. 2.5
Never Gonna Change - Okay, so... OHMYGODTHISISSUCHAGOODPOPTRACKPLUSTHESONGWRITINGISSUPERB. Still a 3.9

rellik009
04.07.20 | "Should've picked Woly Boly, Relik, that'd have gotten a 5/5 outta me"
RESPECT +1 |
Minushuman24
04.07.20 | Medicina - Buke & Gase - Oh wow, this is really fucking cool. I like this a lot. I think I might have to check out an entire album. Oh my God, halfway through it gets even better. God damn, no wonder you switched your rec from Boris. This is fantastic. 4.3
Kalash - Booba - phlegmy, I don't know if I really enjoy this vocal delivery, it sounds like he has a cold. That's not anything to do with the language, the feature on this track doesn't sound as nasally. The beat itself is kinda pain by the numbers, I gotta pass on this one, sorry man.
Western - black midi - Not my favorite from this album, but a great track nonetheless, I love the art punk revival that's been going on. 3.6
Cosmonaut - Benjamin Damage - This is nice. I like it. uh. 3.1
Never Gonna Change - Broods - This def is not a sound I'm attracted to. It's not bad though, I just would never chose to listen to this. 2.6
Flight - The Boxer Rebellion - Hm. I don't know what to think of this really. It is alright, I like the instrumentals, I don't like the chorus. I don't think I'd listen to it again, but it's not bad by any means. 3
Concubine - Butthole Surfers - Hm. The instrumentals are so low on this, I feel like if they were kicked up a tad I'd like this a lot more. That being said, I don't get the hate..... Well no, actually I do completely understand the hate, but I dig this. It feels really cool. I only know their two most popular songs prior to this, but I wanna check out more now. 3.5
Harlem - Bill Withers - Withers had such a wonderful voice. I'd say this is probably one of my favorite tracks by him, a great opener for sure. 4
Under a Violet Moon - Blackmore's Night -Well I'm gonna assume this is Ritchie Blackmore, which means I've gotta get back into the 9th/10th grade Zach mindset. Oh my god, this is some renaissance nerd shit for sure. I am thankful for that at least, cause it's better than prog. Yenno, I like this-- Blackmore is a wonderful guitarist, and this is at least somewhat catchy, even if the verse's are boring, I'd have a blast listening to this at Ren Fest. The organ is completely unnecessary though. 3
Sonnenallee - Black Cab - I dug this, but I feel like it's missing something that could have elevated it to the next level. Love the album cover. 3.4

ArsMoriendi
04.07.20 | @Minus: Who Was in My Room Last Night? and Pepper are the ones you know?
Those sound nothing like their 80s material. I deff rec their songs Woly Boly, The O-Men, and Rocky |
rellik009
04.07.20 | I remember listening to Butthole Surfers for the first time and being left mindblown afterwards. my first song of theirs was Kuntz and it was hilarious as fuck |
ArsMoriendi
04.07.20 | I was confused when I heard first heard Kuntz cuz the only other Butthole Surfers song I had heard at the time was Pepper lol and they're like polar opposites |

Minushuman24
04.07.20 | @ars Yep. I really dig Who was in my room last night. I think I might like their 80's stuff judging by concubine. I'll check it out for sure. |

Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.07.20 | 1. Medicina - I liked this album when it first came out but don't remember it at all. This is obnoxious but decent. 3/5
2. Kalash - There is plenty of good French hip-hop. This is not it. This is so bad it might as well be Russian or German hip-hop. 1/5
3. Western - Not big on the vocals. Instrumental itself is okay for wank-core. 3/5
4. Cosmonaut - Great album, great song. 3.5/5
5. Never Gonna Change - Chvrches tier indie pop. big coachella energy. it's not complete shit but it is quite shit. 2/5
6. Flight - u2 crossed with deftones 1.5/5
7. Concubine - aids 1/5 |
MiloRuggles
04.08.20 | Butthole Surfers- Concubine 3. It was pretty fun
Bill Withers = insta 5
Reminder that the live version of Use Me on youtube is potentially his best song, but maybe not |
tyman128
04.08.20 |
finally got back to this after being low on internet for a few days
Kalash - Kinda like the beat I guess? Don't really have much to say about this really... 1.8
Cosmonaut - Nice little beat to start it off, like the progression slowly building in the back. Really enjoying the melody with the synths and stuff, pretty good so far. Pretty fun track, keeps the beat going with a tight sound to it. 3.4
Never Gonna Change - I enjoy the vocals quite a bit, albeit the sound is a bit generic, still pretty chill. I agree that the vocals do kinda remind me of Lorde a bit, which is not a bad thing.... wait why did nothing big happen?? Was expecting some kind of climax there or something... 3.0 |
dedex
04.08.20 | 8. Harlem - Fitting. 4.5 |
rellik009
04.08.20 | Flight - Honestly I don't fully understand the hate this song is getting, sure, the guitars effects in it are quite overdone, but they give the piece a great atmosphere; and this is like faux avant-garde crossed with radio alt-rock, but the song is super effective as the latter(at the risk of me sounding like I'm in Pokemon). Never mind, I do understand the hate a bit more now. (Might edit this later.) 2.9
Concubine - ayy that's my song
Harlem - Generic soul/disco/funk/whatever. I don't even find it to be that much of a "stomper". Sorta alright I guess. Or did I miss something? 2.4

04.08.20 | Medicina: This is kind of intense. Love the instrumentation, it's a very saturated and colourful sound which is cool. 3.5
Kalash: My brother would L O V E this. I actually like it too haha. Don't know why. Could be the intense French. Or the rhythmical vibes. 3.0
Western: Some of this is really cool. I do not really like how this shifts all the time. When are you ever in the mood for everything at once? Drummer is crazy good though. 2.9
Never Gonna Change: This is pretty nice! Could easily hear this on the radio, but that doesn't make it bad of course. Some of the dubsteppy-influences are a little too much for me. 3.0
Flight: Menacing so far. Love how this slowly takes shape. Drums are cool. Guitars too. Vox are nice too! Ok, I like this. I didn't see it go somewhere this sunny, like a really bright yet cold place. Cool! Why do you guys dislike this so much? Some bonus points to rectify that! 4.2

Trifolium
04.08.20 | Concubine: Yes really punky. Don't really enjoy this stuff. Sorry! 2.0
Harlem: Oh this is good. Love it. That driving beat, and the way Mr. Withers' performance adjusts to the intensity level rising. Yeah. Good. 4.0
Under A Violet Moon: Some pub song. Not really my kind of stuff. 2.3
Sonnenallee: This is very cool. This is how you make a song that shifts, the mood flows nicely throughout whilst incorporating many different styles and instruments. 3.8
You Upset Me Baby: Really suits the theme. Nice track too of course. 3.9
Including some ratings from the fuuuuutuuuuurrreeee~~~~~~~~ |
Divaman
04.08.20 | Bill Withers - Kind fooled sounding, but not bad to start. Has a definite '70s vibe to it. .No wonder. It's a 1972 song. Geez, are going through every day of the week here? Nothing outstanding about it. I'll give it a 2.7. |

04.09.20 | 9. Under a Violet Moon - Medieval song, noice. Didn't like the clapping part though. 2.9 |

Under a Violet Moon - very nice guitar melodies. Fun high energy song with a great chorus. I dig it. 3.9 |

Divaman
04.10.20 | Black Cab - Kind of a slow build, but OK, I'm game - let's see where it's going. Hmm. Almost 3 minutes in, and it's just kind of dicking around. What's there is decent, and the video is colorful. But it still all feels like one long-ass intro. I'm gonna give it a 3.0, 'cause it's still my favorite of the month so far. |
ArsMoriendi
04.10.20 | "Harlem"
Catchy music so far. It's building and that's always a cool thing for a song to do. I like this, but I can't say it's hitting the soul spot I want it to. It feels almost too jammy somehow, but I still like it.
3.5/5
"Under a Violet Moon"
Wow, this is super nerdy. I'm pretty nerdy myself, but when I hear stuff like this, that sounds like a renaissance fair, I feel like Mr. Cool. God that pickup is even nerdier.
2.5/5 |

04.10.20 | "Sonnenallee"
It's been winding up to a punch for about 2-minutes now, so I'm expecting a big payoff. Wait, no I guess it's just a dance track that goes nowhere. I guess it wasn't unpleasant at all so +.2 for that.
2.7/5 |
Trifolium
04.10.20 | I'm still in the mood for some cool alternative stuff quite regularly. Nice at work for instance. Or when riding a bike during rain, which happens a lot in The Netherlands of course. |
rellik009
04.11.20 | you live in the netherlands?
ayy. ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy |

04.11.20 | Yes. How about you? |

but yall cool so that's cool |
Pangea
04.11.20 | Sonnenallee - this is cool. I like the build up of intensity. 3.2
You upset me baby - great stuff. I love the guitar in here. 3.6 |
Trifolium
04.11.20 | Ahh nice rellik! City? I'm from Utrecht.
Speaking about you guys are everywhere: where's Bedex, dedex? |
rellik009
04.11.20 | Utrecht? damn Trif! You guys have an excellent music school and the Comic Con and... yeah, that's all I know. How is it there(apart from all the events and stuff)? Personally I live in Den Haag and it's sad... cuz they moved the AnimeCon to the shittiest place ever in Rotterdam :( A superb city otherwise. |

04.11.20 | I used to go to Maastricht a bunch when my ex studied there, what a lovely little city that is |
Trifolium
04.11.20 | Haha nice! Den Haag is beautiful too. So is Maastricht.
Time for bed! |
Divaman
04.11.20 | B.B. King - I'll say from the start, I'm not a fan. I respect his accomplishments, and he's definitely a legend, but the thrill isn't gone, it was never there in the first place. But maybe he'll win me over. Wow, this is pretty young B.B., huh? Yeah, average blues to my ears. I'll go 2.5. |
ArsMoriendi
04.12.20 | "You Upset Me Baby"
Very classic 50s rock/blues vibe to this one. It's nothing too unique, but it's still nice. I like the saxophone solo.
3.5/5
"Ripped Van Twinkle"
Cool bass, cool percussion. Vey abstract. I feel like I'd relegate this to background music though honestly.
3.2/5 |

04.12.20 | Haven't had much time to hang on sput these days but I'm here Trifobro! I'll catch up on this thread soon no worries |

04.13.20 | Btw, do we have a volunteer to host the SOTD for May? |
ArsMoriendi
04.13.20 | I could lol |
Divaman
04.13.20 | Bob Moses - 2.3 - well played, but I hate this genre of music. Sounds like the band is warming up before they start the song. |
Trifolium
04.13.20 | Yippee Bedex! Good to hear from you. |
DungeonBoy
04.13.20 | Harlem - takes me back to days in the gritty city. Solid track. 3.5
Under a Violet Moon - love this kinda stuff, takes me back to my tavern days serving mead to spoony bards and wayfarers. 4.5 for ol DB
Sonnenallee - I don't love a ton of dancy electronic stuff, but this one is pretty good! interesting mix and good atmosphere. i'm also staring out the window at a storm right now so that might help. 4
You Upset Me Baby - dude shreds. tough rating though, cause I don't really love it, but I respect it, sorry BB - 3.5
Ripped Van Twinkle - sounds like drugs and it never seems to end 2.5
Sunshine - Pretty wild track with some pretty killer production. Interesting interpretation, I prefer these kind of covers the most. Putting your own original spin on a song. That's what ol DB likes to hear. Takes me back. 4 |

04.13.20 | OK Ars, unless someone else objects, looks like May is all yours. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.13.20 | tragic news |
Divaman
04.14.20 | Bent Knee - Off to a good start. Lots of good instrumental stuff happening. Hmm. Stops dead, and the intro seems to have nothing to do with main part of song. OK, now it's coming together. Geez, this is the old "You Are My Sunshine" song? Damn, I didn't recognize it until almost 4 minutes in. A little too weird for me, but I'll give it ... wait, the ending was godawful. That's gonna cost it. 2.9. |

04.14.20 | grumpy diva makes me sad :( |
tyman128
04.14.20 | gotta catch up and stay on top of this, I'll be doing a few songs today
Flight - Pretty good bassline, but buried in a lot of effects. Good drum beat that drives and some cool guitar effects going on. A grittier vocal style and I definitely dig it. At times, it kind of just feels a bit overwhelming with all the combination of different sounds. 3.7
Concubine - That was … an experience I guess? 2.6
|
dedex
04.14.20 | 11. You Obsess Me Baby - aight it's cool but this classic 50s sound never has been my cuppa. 2.9
12. Ripped Van Twinkle - kinda like Ars, I like it but I wanted tha exxxplozionz. 3.1
13. Sunshine - Cool, a cover that still manages to retain what made the covering artist interesting. The ending is enormous. 3.7
14. 3 Rounds and a Sounf - Nice lil jam but that's about it for me. 3.0 |
Divaman
04.14.20 | I'm starting to think it's not me, rellik. I wasn't grumpy with the first two entries to the folk tournament. I think it's just the songs this month - too much harsh or atonal stuff. Was gonna give this last one a 3.2 before we hit that ending. But I'm all about the melodic. |
anat
04.14.20 | I'll throw my name in the hat for a future host |
rellik009
04.14.20 | hmmm then it's maybe your mood and the songs grinding each other
or maybe your opinion SUCKS >:( lol jk, though I kinda feel you "misappreciate"/underrate these songs. but hey, you do you, and I'm sperging over you. |
Divaman
04.14.20 | It's a taste thing, rellik. I think secretly, we all have our own taste, and we all rate everybody else's taste by ow closely it matches our own. |
rellik009
04.14.20 | oh that's probably accurate. |
JohnnyoftheWell
04.14.20 | I have UPDATED Ars |
JohnnyoftheWell
04.14.20 | have now updated people other than ars, gonna listen through tomorrow |
Divaman
04.14.20 | Are you looking to challenge Ars for May, anatelier, or are you good with June? |
anat
04.14.20 | I'll take May if no objections |
Divaman
04.14.20 | Ars, do you want to challenge an anatelier for May, or will YOU take June? (If not, I'm thinking Texas Chainsaw match.) |
ArsMoriendi
04.14.20 | I did just host in February, so if someone who has never hosted or someone who hosted before Feb wants to do it instead: go for it |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.14.20 | Great news |
anat
04.14.20 | Is the Google doc as exhaustive a source there is on previous themes? None of the '19 months say a theme |
ArsMoriendi
04.14.20 | Potsy's just salty because he hates the music his grandparents like ;)
Either that or he's just being antagonistic for no real reason, which would actually make even more sense |
ArsMoriendi
04.14.20 | "Is the Google doc as exhaustive a source there is on previous themes? None of the '19 months say a theme"
Really? They should
I checked and January-April 2019 doesn't have themes listed, but May-December does. I suppose we didn't start listing them until May of last year |
anat
04.14.20 | I'm sure I'll soon be told if I end up picking a duplicate theme |
ArsMoriendi
04.14.20 | Pick something really odd and specific if you wanna avoid that |
Trifolium
04.14.20 | And duplicate themes could be fun actually, there probably are many new participants anyway, and you can always think of other songs for the theme. |
Divaman
04.14.20 | I'm not even sure how many of the same group we have here from when SOTD first started, so if you did happen to repeat one of the early themes, many of us wouldn't have taken part in that anyway. |
Divaman
04.14.20 | OK, so we're looking at anatelier in May and Ars in June, right? |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.14.20 | Actually I'm ok with ars hosting again if it's a bars moriendi hip hop edition |
Divaman
04.14.20 | You'd better take away my belt and shoelaces then. |
Bedex
04.14.20 | Here's a massive update nobody cares about:
Broods - nice, but feels like it didn't go as high up as it could have. 3.7
The Boxer Rebellion - I am rating this way high, but mostly because I find it super cool and an inspiring sound I might want to take inspiration from for my own endeavours, rather than it being an incredibly solid track worthy of that rating per se. 4.2
Butthole Surfers - This could be a super cool, mess up intro to something else. On its own though it feeels like it falls a bit flat. 2.9
Bill Withers - RIP man, legend. What more could I say? Ah yeah, track's dope. 4.5
Blackmore's Night - Started very nicely, but got a bit too 'drinking folk song' to my taste especially when the ?drums kick in and it starts getting all jolly, I much prefered the subdued atmosphere early on. 2.5
Black Cab - very nice progression, nice atmosphere, although again I wish it exploded a little more perhaps. 3.7
B.B. King - I like my blues a touch more abrasive, and not a fan of the more piano based/slowed down ragtime kinda approach, but one cannot go wrong with Beebee. 3.95
Bob Moses - I enjoyed the mysterious vibe and instrumentation on this, but idk it didn't really grasp me much beyond that, especially for a long track like this. 3.2
Bent Knee - I love the craziness in this, I get a faint The Jezabels vibe from the vocals. 4.0
Blind Pilot - A nice song, but felt super generic to me. I guess I should check out the lyrics but 2.6 |
Bedex
04.14.20 | bars moriendi hip hop edition [2] |
Divaman
04.15.20 | I updated the worksheet for you Johnny. All the stuff you updated is green, and the stuff that hasn't been updated is red. |

rellik009
04.15.20 | Under The Violet Moon - Maybe one day I will find a folk artist that I like. For now I just find songs like these uninteresting. However, I will not lie, I did enjoy the melodies. 2.4 |
Bedex
04.15.20 | Review for 15 is out - if you dig the track you should check out the album :] |
Divaman
04.15.20 | Blind Pilot - OK, we've got some melody going here. We've got some sleepy guitar, and some guys who sing a little, at least. I'm not blown away, but I can give it a 3.2. Nice enough. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.15.20 | 8. Bill Withers - Harlem: Bill Withers is good. Here's the thing. Bill Withers wrote 'Ain't no Sunshine'. Roy Ayers Wrote 'Everybody Loves the Sunshine. I discovered these two songs at the same time and aside from obvious thematic similarities, I associate the two songs due to this. I also mix up Roy Ayers and Bill Withers all the time. In the case of Bill Withers it's not a favourable mixup because, well, Roy Ayers (and his quintessential 'Everybody Loves the Sunshine') is way fucking better. So I'm always a tad disappointed when someone mentions Bill Withers and I eventually remember that =/= Roy Ayers. 3/5
9. Blackmore's Night - Under a GEYYYYYYYY Moon: Feeble flamboyant bard music. Mortifying. 1.5/5
10. Black Can't - Sonnenallee: Sounds like Nine Inch Nails trying to make dance music. There are some aspects to this that I really like. The guitar sHrEdDz at the end can foad tho. 3/5
11. B.B. King - You Upset Me Baby: hoidy toidy rinky tink cassette music for grandma. Finger snappin'. Crackalackin. 3/5
12. Bob NOses - Dicked Van Dyke: I already rated this earlier. It's shit I hate it. 1/5
13. Bent Bree - My Only Sunshine: Contemporary bard music. There are some pretty moments on this. That edgy ass ending is so fucking lame tho and kinda ruins the song. m/ *YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE. MY ONLY SUNSHINE. RAAAAAAAAAH* m/ rofl. 2.5/5
14. Blind Pilot - 3 Rounds and the Sound of Christ: Sounds like something my gf when I was fifteen would have just been growing out of. Also is treacherously close to sounding like bible-acoustic. 2/5
15. Breag and Bugger - II: My thoughts for the first two thirds of this is that this level of derivativeness is exactly why metal has been entirely irrelevant for the last decade. However, I will admit to enjoying the passage starting at ~4:20. Sucks again after that tho. 2.5/5 |
DungeonBoy
04.15.20 | 3 Rounds and a Sound - Nice little pop singer songwriter jam, nothing to really love or hate about it, would drink a beer on my porch with this playing in the background. 3
II - Who rec'd this, Bedex eh? Cool tune my man, needed something crushing and this fits the bill. Thought the song was skipping when this started to speed up lol. But then hell yeah, busts out that sludgy melodic hardcore style. Diggin this hard dude. Never heard this band before but I'm gonna add this to my collection, thanks! 4 |

04.15.20 | "Sunshine"
This is so boring so far, but it's building up to something, so I hope it's something good. Also, why the hell do to the lyrics sound so similar to "You Are My Sunshine" ??? That's really weird and makes it harder to like. WAIT SHE ACTUALLY SAID YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE??? WHAT THE FUCK? This song is like... a joke maybe? Please tell me they're kidding, this is like a parody. Maybe good parody? Oh my fucking god she's screaming the lyrics to "You Are My Sunshine" THIS IS A PARODY RIGHT? +.5 for making me laugh.
2.5/5
"3 Rounds and a Sound"
Generic indie-folk so far. It's pleasant though. This is what I imagine the music SowingSeason loves sounds like. Hmmm, lemme check his rating for this. Oh shit, he doesn't have this band rated at all. I guess someone should rec this to him. This is a song I will forget exists in the next 5 minutes. +.1 for pleasantness
2.6/5
"II"
RAAAAAAWR RAAAAWR RAAAWR RAAAAAAWR RAAAAAAAAAWR RAAAAAAWR. The EP this is from is untitled and the 4 songs are all just named I, II, III, and IV. Wow, really wearing "I'm very uninspired" on our sleeves, aren't we? RAAAAAAWR RAAAAAWR I'M A TIGER RAAAAAWR RAAAAWR. Now the vocals are gone and it's just riffing and the riffing is fine. Hmmm, 4 mins in and the bass got nice and the guitar got very 80s and jangly? I can get down to this section a bit actually. I mean it's not my favorite thing, but OH GOD RAAAAAAWR RAAAAAAAWR RAAAAWR I AM A BIG CAT AND I AM THE KING OF THE JUNGLE RAAAAAWR. I don't like most metal screams if you couldn't tell. +.1 for the one section with the bass.

Divaman
04.16.20 | I don't think it's intentionally roasting, rellik. I think it's just this month. A lot of times, I actually write my response as I'm listening, so it's a stream of consciousness kind of thing. And it is possible that after a month of quarantine for many of us, our overall moods are darker than usual, and that's coloring the way we hear the songs. |

04.17.20 | 17. Iris - 2000s post-hardcore/metalcore ayyyy I dig it. I like the dude's vocals, leaning more towards hxc than the scene's general vocals. The acoustic guitar bit towards the end is cool too. Yeah I like it. 3.7 |
Divaman
04.17.20 | Braeg Naofa - Oh fuck! Another singing orc. And it's over seven minutes long. If I wasn't comfortable in my recliner right now, I'd get up and hang myself. OK, now he's speeding up. Music itself isn't terrible, but it's a little boring, and the vocalist has got to go. 1.8.
Black Moth Super Rainbow - Short but harsh. 2.3.
Burst - Not liking this one either. Circular guitar and screaming vocals. I actually liked the vocals from Braeg Naofa better. 1.8.
On the upside, I already know I like tomorrow's, so the negatively will cease (at least for a day). |

Firefly - Simple, effective, glad it switches up around the halfway point, but song is a bit too long and repetitive for its own good. 3
|
Divaman
04.20.20 | Bonobo - 3.7 - Thought I posted this yesterday, but apparently it didn't go through. Nice synths. Reminded me of a Thom Yorke song, but I forget the name of it.
Black Sand - 3.7 - Another good one. Also probably overlong, but if you're going to tax my tinyADHD attention span, it at least helps to do so with something that's decent in the first place.
|
Divaman
04.20.20 | Johnny, if it helps, I've been trying to keep on the worksheet as we've gone along, for those who don't do their own worksheets. So I think the worksheet is up to date. |
ArsMoriendi
04.22.20 | "Iris"
No to those vocals. Riffing is whatever, bass and drums are whatever. I hate this.
1.5/5
"Presence of the Lord"
Nice piano, chill atmosphere, so far so good. Smooth vocals too. Nice solo yeah, this is cool. Not exactly my favorite, but deff good still.
3.6/5
"Linked"
Bleep bloop. This is cool, though it lacks a lot of what I liked about Days to Come's highlights "the soulfulness etc." It's cool though still. The pickup made this even better. I like this. Very click clacky and dancy even.
4/5
"Firefly"
This is not good music for listening while sitting, it gets boring fast. You need to dance to enjoy this. With that said, it works REALLY well for dance music. Man, it reminds me of the gay clubs I went to in Budapest. This kinda music probably wouldn't fly in NYC's gay clubs though sadly well except for maybe in... wait shhhh. I'll only lightly imply that. This music makes me yearn for a future vacation in Berlin. Somehow the woman talking is the best decision in the song since it creates this atmosphere of just trippy dancing.
4.2/5
"Nude Disintegrating Parachutist Woman"
Dollar store Robert Plant vocals. Dollar store 70s heavy metal in general honestly. This is fine. Like how could I hate this? But it's also not easy to love.
2.5/5
"Play Dead"
Oooh, I've heard OF this, but I never actually listened to it. Debut era, right? This is awesome wow those strings!
4.7/5 |
Divaman
04.22.20 | Budgie - surprisingly old style blues rock, at least here in the beginning. Very Mountain/Cream/Humble Pie, maybe even Zeppelin. Weird I've never heard of these guys. Not really my favorite style, but not the worst either. Kind of generic, though. 2.8.
Bjork - her again, huh? OK, let's see what you've got for me this time, you unworldly wench, you. This one is from the one Bjork album I actually own, although it's been a long time since I listened to it. Yeah, she still doesn't really do it for me. I like her voice OK, but not her songwriting. 2.9. |
Divaman
04.23.20 | Beautify Junkyards - OK, some nifty acoustic to start. Nice female vocal. We're off to a good beginning. It's only 3:31 long, too, so it doesn't have that long to get on my nerves. Yeah, I like it. I'd listen to more of this LP. 3.3.
OK, we've got seven more songs this month to try to get my monthly average up to 3. It will be a difficult task, but I see some Sabbath and some Bauhaus coming down the lane, so that bodes well. We'll see. |

04.23.20 | "Somehow the woman talking is the best decision in the song since it creates this atmosphere of just trippy dancing."
Fuckin rights man, track is so hypnotic and psychedelic, but perhaps part of that association for me is due to the movie I discovered it from |
Pangea
04.23.20 | 12. Ripped van Twinkle - i really like this. cool melody and sort of eerie atmosphere. the song stays engaging throughout with all of sorts of new elements. i wasn't big on the snoring sound effects at the end though. 3.7
13. Sunshine: very busy song, i quite like it espeically the strings. the ending was maybe a little too much though. I am also not entirely convinced of her vocals. 3
14. 3 rounds and a sound - pretty guitar melody, otherwise was not too convinced but still nice 3.2
and now im too tired. will catch up further later up
|
Divaman
04.24.20 | The Blood Brothers - Starting now. ... Uh oh. What's this? ... No, no, no. Energetic spaz rock. It slowed down for a minute, but now she's screaming again. I have to give it a lower mark than the Butthole Surfers, because it's twice as long. 1.1. |

04.24.20 | 15. II - i'm not the biggest fan of growl vocals, but i could tolerate these. instrumentally everything is dope. love the drums and the middle section is really cool. 4
16. Lollipopischord - cool stuff. i like the melody, it helps that the song is short, otherwise it might have gotten on my nerves 3.3
17. Iris - this is alright. there isn't much i'm latching onto though. 3
18. Presense of the lord - not a big fan of these vocals, but instrumentally this is very cool. great guitar solo 3.3
19. Linked - oh yeah this is my shit. great beats and nice melodies. 4.2 |

04.25.20 | Burial and Four Tet - Sounds a little inside out, but it's kind of cool. I like the weird, distorted vocals played softly in the background. 3.5. |

04.26.20 | 1. Medicina - I heard a few Gwen Stefani vocal quavers and that brings this down at least a point [2.5]
2. Kalash -french rap stuff, and I quite like French rap...but not this. [2]
3. Western - of all the songs on Schlag this one might just be ageing the best, still a [5]
4. Cosmonaut - didn't do an awful lot for me but the best new song I hadn't heard before so far [3]
5. Broods - nothing from this either, this is going to be one of those months [2]
6. Flight - this sounds exactly like music Headswin were releasing in 1994, is this aware it sounds like second tier alt rock/grunge from nearly 20 years ago? It's alright [3] |

04.26.20 | 7. Concubine - it's one way to open an album [3.5]
8. Harlem - solid soul stuff [3.5]
9. Under a Violet - lordy, this is a bit cheesy, seems like what they'd play in a theme park as you walk through Medieval World [2]

11. You Upset Me Baby - retro blues, it's fine enough [3.5] |

04.26.20 | 12. Twinkle - the snoring makes this sound a bit joke'y but other than that v nice [4]
13. Sunshine - a little grating, which I expected as I'm no fan of these, but better than feared [3]
14. 3 Rounds - standard acoustic but actually ok, was fearing typico emo vox [3]
15. II - here it is, the metal, took ages arriving this week - think Isis'ish, it was pretty decent without sounding majorly original [3.5] |

04.26.20 | 16. Lollipopsichord - short and sweet, and a bit forgettable [2.5]
17. Iris - not horrible but doesn't do a lot for me either [2.5]
18. In the Presence - been meaning to try this album with the risque artwork for a while, this is good enough to make me think I should [4]
19. Linked - Bonobo is consistent but doesn't send me into fits of ecstasy, and I've caught them live and still no, but this is good enough [3.5] |

04.26.20 | 20. Firefly - this is really good, after my rec last month this is similarly my sort of thing, the first new thing on the list I'll definitely download [5]
21. Nude Disintegrating - Zep'ish jammy hard rock, not bad at all [3.5]
22. Play Dead - everyone has heard this before, one of her better 'catchy' tunes [3.5]
23. Cabeca Flor - pleasant ethereal stuff, not earth shattering [3.5] |
DoofDoof
04.26.20 | 24. Six Nightmares - that voice is disgusting, like Refused for the under 12s instead of the under 21s [1.5]
25. Nova - good lads, rarely let me down [4]
26. Thrill of it All - I take the piss out of Sabbath a lot because it's easy, and this is pretty cheesy, but it's a decent enough hard rocker [4]
27. Sanity Assassin - post-punk time, not been a lot of this genre on the list this month, so more refreshing than it usually sounds...I like Bauhaus and this sounds like one of their better tunes, keeps things propulsive [4] |

04.26.20 | 28. MODOKI - was literally just thinking I had hardly dished out anything below a 2, sounds like Phil Anselmo having trouble with a skipping Fear Factory CD [1.5]

30. History Repeats - some ok Prince worship to finish up on [3] |

04.26.20 | "Cabeca Flor"
A lovely atmosphere so far. I like Indian classical influence and sweet vocals. Not much else to say here, but this is good.
4/5
"Six Nightmares at the Pinball Masquerade"
Not a fan of this. I don't like these vocals. They're crossing the border of "guts being ripped out." The instrumental is fine, but other than the bass, it's like whatever. This is like At The Drive-In, but heavier, and I don't like At the Drive-In.
1.8/5
"Nova"
Chill so far. Is this supposed to be dance music or chillout music? It's trying to tread the line of both and failing at being either. Like it's too subdued to be fun party music, but also too all over the place to be relaxing. Not for me.
2.7/5
"Thrill of It All"
Good job garas, you picked my favorite song on Sabotage and my #2 Black Sabbath song of all time. The riff rules, the bass is nice, Ozzy is at his most emotional, and the lyrics are tip-top."Won’t you help me, Mister Jesus? Won’t you tell me if you can? When you see this world we live in, do you still believe in Man?" hits me like a ton of bricks. He decides to let go of all of that angst to feel happiness and freedom. Good message too. Classic stuff.

Guess it's a similar case to the Annie track last month where that's by far my favourite of hers? |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
04.26.20 | Kinda, but not to the same degree, bls has a lot more tracks of similar quality to firefly than I'd say annie does to invisible and anthonio (Berlin version) ((my other favourite annie track))

17. (corona v)Iris:
I liked Lazarus Bird and Origo long ago in jr.high/early high school when metalcore was my thing. It hasn't been my thing in over a decade unfortunately. Decent for the genre though.
2.5/5
18. Prepubescence, Oh Dear Lord:
Is anyone going to address the elephant in the room that is the naked 12-15 year old girl on the cover? Pedo-dad rock? cool.

19. Stinked:
I like Bonobo but personally wouldn't consider any of his post North Borders material to be very essential.
3/5
21. Nude Disinteresting Platypus Wombat:
Thought we agreed to keep recs under 8 minutes for this exact reason? Rude. Derivative, boring dad rock.
2.5/5
22. Obligatory Bork song:
Trip-Hop Bork is the only good Bork. I like debut through Vespertine and everything else can fuck off and die forever. Very good Bork pick, one of her best, inexplicable that it wasn't included on Debut proper.

25. Nova - Fuuuuuuck I totally forgot about that one! Used to jam it all the time like 7-8 years ago. Thx Joe for the reminder. 4.4

27. The Sanity Assassin - love me some Bauhaus. 3.8 |

04.28.20 | 20. Firefly - i love this. amazing beats and a cool melody. It changes things up just enough too in order to prevent it from being boring at any point. 4.4
21. Nude Disintegrating Parachutist Woman - this is great, reminds me a lot of black sabbath in the best way possible. a bit bluesy hard rock. yeah awesome stuff. 4.2
22. Play Dead - cool instrumentation but i'm not the biggest fan of bjorks vocals. it's technically very impressive, but it feels a bit overdone to me sometimes. i don't know 2.9
23. Cabeca Flor - this is very nice and pleasant 3.3 |
Pangea
04.28.20 | 24. Six Nightmares at the Pinball Masquerade - cool guitar work and is good instrumentally generalyl. not a fan of the voice though. 2.5
25. Nova - this is good, nice melody. perhaps a little too repeating for it's runtime though. 3
26. The thrill of it all - Black sabbath rule. this song is great too, but not my favourite of theirs. the riff is cool though. 3.5 |
Divaman
04.29.20 | Blaptophobia - oh dear. Another orc. I know some people love this kind of stuff, but my ear just doesn't register it as music. Besides the screaming, the music itself just seems to be going every which way. I'll give it a .2 for some interesting stuff happening on guitar. 1.2
Bic Runga - Pleasant enough. Decent voice. A reasonable song structure. Something of a hook. I''ll give it a 3.3, but it's the kind of thing that could grow on me. |

04.29.20 | 28. Modoki - chuggy chug chug yeah not mah stuff. 2.0
29. Sway - HEY I KNOW THAT ONE!!!! it's been a mighty long time since I've last heard it. Don't know why, but I always thought it was Natalie Imbruglia singing. Thx Milo for the reminder ! 3.9 |

04.30.20 | 30. History Repeats - is that the girl from Alabam Shakes? This is like bluesy and soulful alt rock. It's cool, but I prefer when she just lets it goooo (like on Gimme All Your Love). 3.1 |
Divaman
04.30.20 | Brittany Howard - OK, percussion and opening music is kind of cool. Her voice is just ok. Not my style of music. She does get into a pretty good groove there at the end, though. 3.0. |

05.01.20 | "Sanity Assassin"
Wow, this is early-80s as hell to the point of stereotype. Not the most interesting post-punk track I've heard by any stretch of the imagination. Not bad I guess, but not for me.
3/5
"MODOKI"
BURP BURP BURP BURP BANG BANG BANG BANG. This is just terrible. Thank god this is short. It's only 3 mins, but I feel like I've been hearing it for 15 minutes.
1/5
"Sway"
Very generic 90s pop-rock. It's catchy as hell though, I'll give it that. Her voice is good I guess.
3/5
"History Repeats"
I know 2 Alabama Shakes songs: "Hold On" and "I Don't Wanna Fight" and you know what? They're both REALLY GOOD. But on this, Brittany Howard sounds like she's mumbles over some boring blues jam. I hate to say it, but this song would've worked better with different vocals.

28. Modoki - yeah not my thing all. can't stand these kind of vocals and the riffs are pretty boring to me. 1.5
29. Sway - pretty average pop song. her voice is good but the hook is pretty weak to me. don't like the drum sound here, sound a bit too loud for a song this i guess. 2.3
30. History Repeats - good beat but otherwise this falls a bit flat for me. not a fan of how her vocals are used in this song. 2.6 |
