dibs
 

i will take dibs on the nothingface song :)

Ether - Nothingface

Song starts with a short guitar riff, then about a 5 -7 seconds afterward the vocalist comes in. It gets heavier with some pretty good drums and guitar. Gets a little harder, and goes back to the guitar riff from the start. Goes into the chorus after that. Goes into a different guitar riff after second chorus then repeats through the rest of the song.

Overall these guys i enjoyed listening to. Kinda reminded me of chevelle.
I would give it an 8/10. If i had the oppertunity i would listen o them more.


My songs:
Lostprophets - We still kill the old way (rock kinda softer)
Earshot - Wait (hard rock)
Nonpoint - Peace of mind (hard rock)
Crossfade - Starless (rock)
Soil - Breaking me Down (metal)
Stereomud - Show me (hard rock)

Genres?

better :P

dibs on starless

Crossfade - Starless

This is a curious track, i haven't heard much like it before. It combines various styles of rock and metal, it's very different.

It opens with a slow heavy riff and drums creating an abrasiveness thats sounds fit for a doom metal track. This finishes with an abrupt break then the verse kicks in, its fairly soft and the guitars and singer make it sound like nickelback with a smile empty soul vibe. This guy sounds like Chad Kroeger and mixed with James Hetfield (Load/Reload era) not sounding too bad at all suprisingly and the guitars are sexy. The prechorus features a droning distorted guitar that comes out of nowhere, with something a bit like a coal chamber type buzz effect on it. The chorus then hits in and it is a very typical rock chorus indeed, recalls creed type power chords but with a better singer. It then drops back into that sludgy intro riff as a break, after this the guy starts singing/rapping over the verse riff. It is a lot better then i can describe it, after this that prechorus buzz thing happens and then it drop back into the chorus. After this it cuts to a whispered effect over the guys voice as he says, 'i got to get you out of my pain' where he really sounds like Hetfield, then he sings something similar out loud as a second chorus of sorts. After this a bit more singing/rapping lol, then into the chorus one last time. Ends with that brutal riff. Awesome stuff.

Its a very formulaic type rock song but it has a lot of interesting parts and effects you don't usually hear mixed in this type of rock. I am impressed. 8/10

Choice -

Janes Addiction - Been Caught Stealing (Funk/Rock)
Joe Satriani - Speed Of Light (Instrumental Rock)
Morbid Angel - Angel Of Disease (Metal)
Faith No More - Paths Of Glory (Moody Rock)

undibs

File corrupt and I'm going to bed.

dibs

symphony X - Smoke and Mirrors

heard quite some SX, but hadn't heard this one, so here goed

starts off with insane guitaring, as we're used to from SX, at about 0:16 it slows down a bit
0:32 speed goes up.
great keyboarding :thumb:
0:48, almost a DT sounding riff.
1:03 vocals come in, and remind me it's not DT (both have great vocals though)
wow, his voice sounds some much more powerfull than on other songs.
nice symphonic singing parts in between.
3:33 all slows down and the keys take in more room, bass line is nice as well.
actualy it's a slow guitar soloing part, but I think the other instruments come out better.

4:14, this is what I've been waiting for, a solo, a real solo!

which lasts till 5:23
singing comes in again.

5:55 you hear it's coming to and end, and it fades out with some weird sounding effect on the end.

what can I say?
wow

it just blew me out of the water, what a talent

never heard the vocalist using his voice so agressive though, but I like it :)
some parts do just sound like the're ripped off of DT, but it's not that bad


5/5

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)
porcupine tree - blackfield (prog rock)
dream theater - the miracle and the sleeper ( prog metal)



enjoy :thumb:

anyone taking dibs?

/bumb in disguise

dibs on blackfield

Porcupine Tree - Blackfield

I am pleasently suprised with this song. It begins as a simple yet gorgeous piano piece that has a melancholic vice to it. Then the rest of the band comes in, jangly guitar, bass and drums heightening the beauty, **** this is nice. Its got strange lyrics that remind me slightly of Radiohead, and moves along at a lovely pace. There's not a great deal of variety to this song except for the music and a few breaks in between but thats never a bad thing if it's stretching a good idea. I really like this song its got a nice melancholic vibe to it. 9/10

Choice -

Faith No More - Land Of Sunshine
Eric Clapton - Tears From Heaven
Soundgarden - Pretty Noose

bump !

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

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)

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 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.

Autumn's proud treetops[/QUOTE]
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???
