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)

Bartender 11-06-2004 01:31 AM

Bump.

Nuke Broadcast 11-06-2004 04:09 AM

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

Bartender 11-06-2004 12:56 PM

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

Bartender 11-13-2004 04:07 AM

Dibs.

Bartender 11-13-2004 06:52 AM

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.

8/10

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.

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

After you do that, you get to give songs for the next person to review.

TOO BAD IT WAS BUMPED!

Dancin' Man 11-13-2004 09:29 PM

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

Dancin' Man 11-13-2004 09:31 PM

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)

[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
