dibs? :p


I dibs

sound garden - pretty noose


starts of with some guitar, and cymbals.
0:28 the song get going now, vocals come in, bass and drums al doing what they're supposed to do.
I like Cornell's voice, atleast in audioslave,, I haven'theard much of soundgarden.
1:11 the song seems to get busier, but it sounds better, like there is more sound
the song structure changes a bit as well.
sounds like 2 voices, or just cornell's but times 2, or I'm mistaking, but anyways it sounds cool.
1:34 the song returns to where it started.
1:42 vox again.
guitaring sounds great now
2:15 dubble vocals again.
2:37 a guitar solo,I don't really like it, sounds too random for me.
3:45 other instruments fade somewhat to the background, and vocals take over.
and than, with a yell it ends.




so:

- nice guitaring
- didn't like the solo
- I love audible basslines, so that's was great.
- the song is a bit too long IMO, it drags on some what.
- nice vocal harmonies
- you gotta love his voice.
- I still prefer audioslave over this.
- nice driving music, me thinks

score:

3,8/5

will I check out more?
if I remember to, ad feel like it, I will, but not a priority.

my picks:


led zeppelin - the rain song ( classic rock)
katatonia - teargas (doom metal)
meshuggah - war (technical death metal) (although it's different from their normal sound)
dark tranquillity - final resistance (gotenburg metal)
dream theater - the miracle and the sleeper ( prog metal)
A perfect circle - imagine ( new single from these prog/art rockers)
meshuggah - perpetual black second ( technical death metal)

:)

dibs on dark tranquility

Dark Tranquility - Final Resistance.

I've heard this song before but its really good along with most dark tranq


Anyway
It starts off with guitars low to high building up with a melodic style in the back

0:16- the main riff comes in.
the verse is technical and very melodic and the chorus comes back in
followed by another interlude...and another interlude...i like how it dosent have to repeat over and over...
1:31 - a nice keyboard comes in and sounds mellow...then picked right back up by the melody of the guitars and into the final verse...and keeps repeating the chorus until it ends..i wish there was a solo but oh well
i give this song a 7/10

My Songs:
Dream Theater - Fatal Tragedy
Dream Theater - Beyond This Life
Dream Theater - Solitary Shell

Dream Theatre - Fatal Tragedy

The song starts off with a creepy piano riff with the singer's voice quietly singing over top. At about 0:40 the guitar and drums kick in with with a slow distorted riff it sounds almost like a glam rock type vibe. The vocals are high and melodic. At 2:15 their is a change in tempo and the keyboardist starts to use effects. The guitaritst is constantly weaving in and around the drums and vocals with very interesting and impressive thrash riffs. The singer cahnges to a high pitched yelp at about 2:50 which was a little annoying. At 3:50 the song strucure cahges completely going into this progressive metal almost experimental section. The vocals are taken out and the keyboards, percussion, and guitars play totally off of each other in this technically outstanding passage. They take turns soloing and come together to produce some wicked melodies. At 4:40 the solo bursts in and starts off sounding very dirty yet technical and it sounds amazing. The keyboardist also does a very impressive solo which lasts almost to the end of the song. The drumming never gets boring or old, through out the song it has some very nice fills and plenty of douple bass. The song ends with a repeating chilly repeating piano chord and a voice saying "now it is time to see how you die. remember that death is not the end but only a transition" The lyrics are interesting, they seem to be about a murder of a young girl. Neat stuff. I was really impressed with the latter part of this song, too much soloing and technicality can get boring but they pull it off splendidly.

8/10

Alright noW my choices

The Mars Volta - Cicatriz ESP (Progressive)
Opeth - To Bid You Farewell ( Melodic)
Liquid Tension Experiment - Paradigm Shift (iNSTRUMENTAL)



4:40

dibs

Opeth - To Bid You Farewell (10:57)

The song starts with some pretty slow medievel sounding guitars, then the tempo slowly starts picking up, around 2 mins the bass joins in, and around 3 the drums join in, then at about 5 minutes the singing starts. Each verse has a very deep meaning and is followed by about 2 minutes of instrumental.

Once you get to the 4th verse they bust out a solo, and the music starts getting metalish (vaguely) and then Akerfeldt starts singing again. It's the only song on Morningrise where Akerfeldt doesn't grunt and it's the best on the album (my opinion).

10/10

My Choices:

In Flames - Cloud Connected (Death-Metal)
Korn - Good God (Alternative-Metal)
Celtic Frost - Justices Whines (Black-Metal)

this is not a dibs, i just want to clear one thing up: Cloud connected is nowhere near death metal. If anything that is a flat out modern rock song.

dibs???

Are you going to review that song soon?

Bump. I've heard two of those, and can't find the Celtic Frost song.

Bump..with the same reason.

Ok, we're starting again. It's been over a week since the last review, and that list is too small. So here are the new songs to choose from, people.

Beatallica - And I'm Evil (Heavy Metal Parody)
Meat Loaf - Heaven Can Wait (Blues Rock)
Australian Crawl - The Boys Light Up (New Wave Rock)
Arghoslent - Flogging The Cargo (Melodic Death)
Manowar - Hail And Kill (Power Metal)
Skyhooks - Smut ('70s Rock)
Alex Lloyd - Black The Sun (Popular Rock)
Silverchair - Steam Will Rise or Learn To Hate(Grunge)
AC/DC - Razor's Edge (Hard Rock)
Jet - Come Around Again or Look What You've Done (Rock)

dibs

Skyhooks – Smut.


Starts with a cool intro, after 2 seconds the song starts of.
With a very rockish/blues-ish sound
At 0:10 vocals, weird, funny, this guy doesn’t have a voice for singing IMO.
Funny lyrics though.
0:17 more voices. ‘ahaaaaah!, haaahaa, ahaaaaaahahahaah’.
0:23 the horrible vocalist again.
0:38, vocals with some women’s voice on the background.
043 a woman’s voice taking over.
2:34, some Spanish sounding, what’s their name, those shaking instruments:p .
3:15 the song goes back to where it was in the beginning, it’s strats to get a bit boring now :(
The song takes the same elements as before, and repeats them till the song ends at 5:15

So:
Meh, I hate the vocals, all of them.
Nice drum and guitar and bass work, this should be an instrumental band, than I would like them

The song gets repetitive and the change of vocals annoys me, as I can’t focus on any.
Funny lyrics though :p
Score: 2,5/5

Will I check out more?
Only if they have some instrumentals

My picks:


led zeppelin - the rain song ( classic rock)
katatonia - teargas (doom metal)
meshuggah - war (technical death metal) (although it's different from their normal sound)
dream theater - the miracle and the sleeper ( prog metal)
meshuggah - perpetual black second ( technical death metal)
my dying bride - your shamefull heaven (doom metal)

Bump.

war is a crazy, crazy song. meshuggah's sound, coupled with the speed of that song created a totally unique sound. think industrial thrash. (i hope thats reasonably accurate.) the solo (1:50) is the weirdest sounding one ive heard, but it...fits.
vocals might annoy some, but they dont overpower the music at all.
overall length - 2:40

i choose:
the clay people (static-x, slipknot& disturbed)- awake
down - teptation's wings
napalm death - diatribes

You can't have heard the song before reviewing it.

Dibs.

I've heard a couple of MDB songs before, so I know vaguely what to expect. I liked them too, so I somewhat expect to like this.
[b]My Dying Bride - Your Shameful Heaven[/b] - 6:59

Starts off with just violin.

I love violin.

Hurrah for this song. It's not playing particularly slowly, but plenty mournfully, so it's suitably MDBish. Just after the minute mark, low, grinding guitars and the rest of the band, come in, including vocals. The vocalist sounds completely different to what I've heard before. It's actually more or less the same, but less smooth/stable, and slightly (almost) cracking towards the end of lines.

Anyway, around 2:20, the vocals cut out and a really cool chugging riffing section comes in for about 15 seconds. Very nice, though not as slow as I would have though.

"Pain is everything". Definitely an MDB song.

Violin comes back to back what I assume is the chorus, though other than that it's different, there's not much that would alert me to its being the chorus. Not a bad song though, so far.

Pretty much everything drops away at 4:30, for just some bass to play. Ah, a screech of guitar and the guitars come in to play the same rhythm as the bass was. Now that was cool :cool:

It's getting into it's end stages now. Another chorusy bit, though without violin, which okay but nothing great. However, the guitar keeps spiralling off on few-second long mini-solos, which is, again, just cool.

Overall, a good song. I didn't like the vocals as much as I have before, and at times it didn't sound very doomy at all, but I liked the guitar, and a I liked the violin.

1. You can only review if you haven't heard the song beforehand.
2. Do a decent length review, or I'll come round and kick you.

dibs

Artists: earthtone 9
Song: Revelation
Genre: British metal
Length:5:55

I've never herd any earthtone 9 before and it's not as heavy as I was expecting (I don't know why I just thought it would be really heavy). It cuts in with a really cool intro riff and then it goes quiet except the guitar abd then breaks out with the singer starting. Unfortunately, I really liked the singers style. After a while it kicks into the chorus which is was very quiet. The song repeats this cycle over and iver again going slow then fast, slow then fast and gets a bit repetitive. Although, at the end it builds and builds into a huge climax.

A bit repetitive but overall a very good song

TOO BAD IT WAS BUMPED!

I think I'll just take dibs....

Assuming that's alright with you. Just look and see how it's done. Then it's easy.

[QUOTE=Eleventeen]TOO BAD IT WAS BUMPED![/QUOTE]
Too bad you dont know what bump means then

It's just to move the post to the first page where it will be more easily seen.

Negative Creep - Nirvana
-----------------------------------
Starts out with some static fading in then we go into the riff that goes on threw about 90% of the song which is very simple and verty distorted then the drums kick in with a little fill then a steady beat. And before long Kurt Cobain's vocals come on singing "This is out of my range this is out of my range this is out of my range OOO" The song follows that same vocal rhythm until what you could call the chorus where Kurt Cobain screams wildly then sings "Daddys little girl aint a girl no more." Then it goes back to the verse and back to the chorus and does that repetition about two more times until it fades out. Fans off In Utero and Nevermind stay away!!! But people who love anything Nirvana makes will like this. Its more of a amateur high energy punk song and it may be very repedetitive for some people but I enjoyed it.

7.5/10

------------------------------
My suggestions:
Future Leaders Of The World - Let Me Out (Alt. Rock) <<Fans of Nirvana should check out
Tsunami Bomb - Take The Reigns (Punk)
Bob Dylan - Hurricane (Folk)

Bumpage

[b]Bob Dylan - The Hurricane[/b]

I think I heard this on the radio once when I was much younger and I liked it, I wouldn't remember it though. I think I remember it's about a boxer that was wrongfully arrested for murder, simply because he was black.

There's a simple acoustic guitar chord progression and some violin backing it up, singing starts soon into it and Bob sings loudly and kind of fast. Vocals are easy to hear and make out what he is saying.

The chorus has harmonized vocals and the music is start-stop, kind of dramatic. It ends with line "He could have been the champion of the world"

A good old violin solo, it's short and good. It's been soloing and improvising for much of the song anyway, here it stood out more. It has same verse chorus structure with some instrumental breaks throughout where the violin has a quick run.

The story goes on and it tells of the court case, where the police lied about it.. another violin solo, now the part about the guy being in jail, which is the last verse.

The ending is just the violin soloing over the chords, with some harmonica too, and it repeats and fades out.

The music and structure was simple but a sense of urgency remained throughout the whole song, obviously it fits with the lyrics and the theme of the song. The violin was a nice touch, adding a bit of sadness, it just plain sounded good too.

It was pretty good overall, nothing that wowed me though 8.8/10
