[B]Michael Buble - For Once In My Life[/B]

at first the song starts off with some fabulous work from what sounds to be a really good horn section. with some pretty good drumming to go along with it. after this they fade out a little bit without ever going out completely. and the singing starts and i really like it. i like that swing feel alot. i havent heard much swing at all but i like this alot. the horns really seem to controll the whole vibe on this song which is a good thing. the only really thing i wish i about this song as that it is a little bit too short. but not a problem still a wonderful song. i also noticed that most swing this included usually has a great rhythym section(at least the swing i've heard).

8/10 , good song

Fair enough..to the Pit!

[B]Frank Zappa - Catholic Girls[/B]

Man, Zappa is one goofy guy. The beginning riff is catchy as heck. The lyrics are funny. Something about catholic girls "learning to blow catholic boys," and doing "something behind the rectory." A cool guitar solo comes in and it kinda sounds like a banjo, but im not sure.

Hahaha, "with a tongue like a cow, she can make you go wow." Ahh, great stuff. A funny vocal solo comes in and the lyrics continue to be great. For some reason I love funny lyrics. The same thing continues for a minute or so as the singing and guitars fade out, then this weird voice starts saying something, i can';t make it out, but it's creepy and sounds like a child molester.

funny. 8/10

Ahem.

[b]Wesley Willis - Casper the Homosexual Friendly Ghost[/b]

I've heard about Wesley but never got around to checking him out. Nice little introduction. I can barely understand what he's singing :p . Sounds like lots of swearing in there... maybe... Kinda got a generic-ish hard rock sound to the music. Ahaha, nice chorus, "Cassspperrr, Cassperrr, Cassppperrr." Awesome singing! The lyrics that I can understand aren't very funny, all the humor is in the voice. A little breakdown kind of thing where I can understand him even less... Annnddd, that's about it.

Overall, 3/10... But based on the humor, 6.5/10. Not bad, but I wasn't feeling it a whole lot.

My songs:

[b]Beulah - Gene Autry[/b] - upbeat indie-pop
[b]27 - The Cause[/b] - indie/adult-alternative, with nice female vocals
[b]Isis - Swarm Reigns (Down)[/b] - sludgy/spacy metal
[b]Pinback - Lyon[/b] - mellow, simplistic indie-pop

...and of course:

[b]Kayo Dot - The Manifold Curiosity[/b] - the 15 minute avant-garde/spacy-rock/classical/chaotic-metal challenge (c'mon man everybody's doing it)

dibs

[B]Pinback - Lyon[/B]

The songs starts off with a simple drum beat, and soon the bass and the guitars break in. Technically it's not amazing, but that means nothing to me. The vocals slowly move in, and sound nice. Following that, some good organ work makes itself in. The overall sound with the vocals reminds me off a cross between The Beatles and Modest Mouse :p . The lead vocals are very soothing, aswell are the backing vocals. Add a couple more guitar and organ solos, and that's it.

Good song :thumb: 8.9/10

[b]Blues Traveler - Run Around[/b]
"MR JONES AND ME.."
That's just the first thing I though on the first listen to the intro. It's not that much like it though, just similar chords. A harmonica beebs around quickly and the singing starts pretty soon into it, the guy has a good voice on record (I've heard a live song too). Theres some good lyrics when my ears can catch them, I'm missing lots of them though. Hammond organ gives some reinforcement every now and then.

The guitar is playing the same chords throughout. The only difference between the verses and chorus is the intensity of the instruments, the choruses are generally harder.

A harmonica solo in the middle there, and the vocals and all come back more powerful for a bit, then drop off to the quietest sounding bit so far (maybe?). After a bit it ends with another harmonica solo and fade out.

It's not as energetic as But Anyway, which I reviewed a while ago, but that was a live version. I can still imagine Run Around going well live, just not as fun. The ever repeating chord sequence didn't bother me, so what they did to vary the song in other ways worked well. Overall, a decent blues-rock piece, but it didn't move me that much. 7.5/10

John Butler Trio - Three Live Songs - (all together about 25 minutes)

This begins with the song intro and I assume it's john butler explaining the meaning of the two songs he is about to play. They are a story about a time when he and his wife got together in a dream and the fact that the dream didn't come true

[U]Spring[/U]

This song starts with quite a complexed acoustic guitar part I think two guitars are playing. Its a beautiful section I can hear blues ,bluegrass and classical influences in there. The vocals start at 2:20 in this song. The vocals are very soft and complement the music perfectly. While he is singing the complexity of the acoustic guitar slows down. I'm really enjoying the vocals on this, this is my sort of song. I can't really think of a huge amount more to write about this song.

[U]Ocean[/U]

This song starts of in a simlar vein again purely acoustic guitars and it is again quite complexed not your usual strumming. Again all beautifully played. At about 3 minutes into this song the song picks up place into an almost irish folk part :amaze: Again it's hard to write much else for a purely acoustic piece.

[U]Peaches And Cream[/U]

This is the final part of the song and is about him and his partner making the dream. This starts with some simple arppegiated chords, and then goes to some simple strumming patterns. The vocals begin relatively early in this song. This song shows of his vocal talent much more than the first song and is very impressive although it is hard in some places to pick out what he's singing. At about 4:50 into this song the drums join in. At about 5:50 it seems like he's singing in another language and the song starts to seem very reggea influenced.



I'm sorry the song isn't very detailed but it's quite hard to write an in depth review for 3 songs lasting 25 minutes :p

Anyways very very good i'm surprised I haven't heard of the john butler trio from my dad as this is his sort of thing! I will definately be checking out some more of this stuff it's excellent

9.5 / 10


My Recommendations

Robert Cray - Up In The Sky (Soul Blues with Indian influence)
Damien Rice - Cannonball (Acoustic)
Howlin' Wolf - Little Red Rooster (Blues)


:)

Revoked, found some Lykathea Aflame mp3's that have priority over everything at the moment :) :upset:

dibs

EDIT: Also revoked, i have to go :(

dibs

Damien Rice- Cannonball

the song starts off with some nice acoustic guitar work from what sounds like 2 guitars and they blend together rather nicely.

then some singing comes in i like the singing alot and the lyrics are really nice as well. sounds like the kind of voice that you would want from some acoustic stuff it goes with the music and is soft enough.

althought there is a little variation every know and then basically the same acoustic playing continuues for basically throughout the song it is nice although could a slight repitive. but these guys definitely have great songwriting skills.

about 4 minutes into the song a really nice solo comes in and is probaly the highlight of the song.

after that it changes the pace up a little bit. gets a little slower and slowly starts to fade away and thats the end

i really liked this song alot. ive heard of damien rice but never actually checked anything out by them and after this i will be checking more stuff out by them.

9/10 great song



Jeff Healy Band- Angel Eyes
phish - stash
ben harper-burn one down
fantomas- spider baby

that jeff healey song is awesome, however does the next one should get that

But Ben Harper taunts me!

Too busy at the moment anyway.

[B]Draculacore-Apollo Creed aux Champs Elysees[/B]

Songs starts off with an interesting sort of techno beat with some chords over it, which isn't bad. Then they go right into the opening riff from 'Eye of the Tiger'

The song then goes into an ambient state for a while until it breaks this sort of silence with a solo, which sounds like the guitarist is just messing around. The song ends after a moment of silence, a single note from the guitarist.

This is one of the most boring songs i've ever heard. Nothing really interesting happens, the only good thing about the song was it was incredibly short so i didn't have to listen to it for more than 2 minutes.
2/10


Songs...
Symphony X - Masquerade
Arcturus - Ad Astra (I highly suggest this song)
Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire
Ved Buenes Ende - I sang for the swan

Yay for Pete for doing the JBT thing :D The review was fine as it was quite a big one to do.
That was just John on guitar, vocals and stompbox until the drums and bass join in Peaches & Cream.
Here's the lyrics too, they might be of interest too.

I just went to look for some guitar tabs for the songs but he uses some crazy tunings :upset:

dee-eye-bee-es

[b]Arcturus - Ad Astra[/b]

Tick tick (bass drum?) and synth strings intro, flute for a bit, quiet vocal sample mixed with pickscrapes and some other quiet chimes. Although theres no solid proof of it yet, this sounds like it'll be in 6/8.

Oh, not quite, it goes a bit trip-hoppy, a bit like Portishead - Glory Box in the beat.

Trumpet! With distorted guitar rumblings in there, but quietly for good measure, and strings for that.. something feeling. It's just slow 4/4 now.. ****, sounded like a good 6/8er to me. There is a dark feeling, a dark majestic feeling, the synth string bursts did it.

Then some lead guitar, fast double bass work on a slow beat, strange.

Slow and dark again, like the castle level in Super Mario Brothers... with low synth strings. Then it's back to that trip hop beat. The strings carry on with a few higher bits too. Majesty burst!! Guitar comes back and the double-bass doesnt sound right here.

It's gone into 6/8 :D I just knew it would, I just knew it Toto. It's like a whole new song here now. Electric Piano takes the lead and there are some more real sounding strings than before. Just these 2 elements carry on for a bit, sounds nice.

Well I wasn't expecting vocals after 5 minutes of not having, but here they are. They sound strange, like a drunk russian... and kind of in the background.
Then BAM Bllelblleblelebebleboebelbeobelbeobeeee (fast guitar run). Then a bit of guitar solo, now a keyboard solo and everything is heavy and much faster now. It's like a 3rd piece of music in this track. There's so much more energy here than ever before. The keyboard solo carries on, it slows and fades on a final chord.

Very interesting. And again, very interesting. I liked it for the most part, just a few bits sounded strange or out of place. I'll be keeping this one surely. I said it all up there^ this is a non-summary. I went a bit crazy too.
9.5/10
