I like Oasis, but I don't think I've heard this song.
[b]Oasis - Acquiesce[/b] - 4:24

Starts off with some faint background strumming and someone singing a note; swiftly interrupted by a much louder, distorted riff. A nice start for the song, though it just as soon goes back to what it started on. This happens a few times, before a downwards spiralling guitar from the right speaker signals the entry of the whole band, and the development of that distorted riff into a proper verse riff. Vocals come in, sounding like typical Oasis, with the line "I don't know what it is that makes me feel alive". Not sure why I've noted that, I just quite liked it.

The riff is a good one. Pretty simple, but catchy, and supports the song well, basically. Bit of extra percussion around 1:10, just before what I assume will be the chorus. The Other Brother (Noel? I can never remember which is which) comes in to sing on the chorus, which is a bit of a surprise, as I'm rather used to just one of the two singing throughout a song. It's probably a good thing that he's come in for the chorus though, since he has the better technical voice and it's a sung line. Rather predictable rhyming of "each other" and "one another", but since I'm enjoying the song, it just seems to add to its charm, rather than being annoying.

Chorus ends, and we're straight back into the rougher vocals of the verse. I think I prefer the verse to the chorus; seems to be a repeating pattern with Oasis, as there verses have great flow. Another chorus, shortly after. Nice swell of music before it starts.

Lots of repetitions of bits of the chorus now, and it sounds like the song is winding down. And it is; it all kind of slowly comes apart and stops.

8/10. I enjoyed it for the most part, but I think the end was a bit disappointing. With a full minute left to go I was expecting something more.

Rufus Wainwright-14th street.

Well it starts with some clean chords on guitar and piano and then the guys voice kicks in. Rufus' voice aint the greatest I have heard but still sounds good.

The chorus I love a lot very great with the girls voice adding alot to it imo. With a nice line "why did you have to brake my heart" (I think). I like his voice alot more on the chorus
The brass bit is nice aswell in the 2nd verse.

The chorus hits in again and it gets extended and even better each time I listen to this song it gets alot better and now when I listen to it the track quiets down and now back up again with jus tthe gilrs voice which is very nice in my humble opinion.

Now the song ends with a few notes on the banjo which I thought was clever all in all a

7/10.

Sorry if this was really bad but it was my first time and now I will upload some songs.

[B][U]Neurosis - Raze the Stray[/U][/B]
Begining with an operatic female voice, and synth, and some (being a little bit) of piano. I dont like it so far. The voice doesnt match the piano and synth very well.

At about 1:01, guitars, bass and drums come in, with a guy screaming in the background. Plays the same not so great riff a few times, then stops. Slow struming on a clean electric, with bells and a violin with it. Then drums come in, and the synth does the cheesy major-minor key switch on the drum hits. Actual vocals come in now, and i like the vocals, but the rest of the song isnt doing it for me.

At somewhere near 3:30, it starts into solid music, as in actual guitar riffs, and drums that stay solid. I like this section, its got something to it that the rest of the song doesnt have. very smooth too. But, sadly enough, this only lasts about 30 seconds. Then comes back again at 5:05 or so. From there, it sounds as if it will end the song like this, but we still have a good 2 minuets to go. Which scares me, cuz i dont want to suffer through the rest of this.

The smoother part ends again, now its a slower guitar riff, drums, and an obnoxious sound coming from the "left" guitar. kinda sounds like if you pluck a piano string. Its almost like the song cannot decide what it wants to do

At 700, a total new part of the song starts. Its a little bit more like the smoother part, just this time its got an eire "groove" if you will. The bass is much more predominant. Guitars are doing a 7 chord up up down down down down down kinda progression, its overused a lil but the bass makes it really cool. That section ends at 8:15 or so, and the song ends at 842.

6/10, and thats being generous. i can see why he put the genre as (???)

[B]Demon Hunter - I Have Seen Where It Grows[/B]

I've heard about these guys, but never actually gave them a listen.

The intro is pretty cool... kind of sounds like it skips at one part, which adds a pretty cool effect. In comes the rest of the band (except the vocalist) and the same riff is played. Sounds pretty good, but nothing to write home about. In come the vocals and the song slows down a little. The vocals are understandable, which is a plus. After the verse comes the chorus. The introduction to the chorus is neat. The cleaner vocals in the chorus sound pretty good, a nice switch from the screaming. Next comes that intro riff again, and then the verse. At this point I'm thinking the song structure is pretty simple (intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus). This isn't a good thing, but it doesn't bring the song down a lot. The part a little after 2:00 is pretty cool, with the drums and guitar only. Then the vocals come in, talking. Then a little breakdown comes, and the song suddenly fades out.

7/10 - Not a bad song, but nothing too great. I'm glad they didn't make it much longer though, because the song structure was quite simple.

[b]Asterius - On Black Tusk[/b]
The name was more interesting and I generally dislike wanky prog metal which is what Andromeda sounded like to me. Maybe not though.

Begins with a riff with long rests and an annoying synth sound. Whispers. Atmospheric yet very heavy. THen the song breaks loose. I like it. The riffs get a little boring and the techno sounding noises are annoyin because this is good metal in itself. THe singer's voice is decent but I prefer either a straight growl or straight singing, layered or not. THis is that annoying gring or sgowl half way in between. THe rifs are chuggy and get a little old, but it is all very tight.

I like the transitions between almost black metal riffing and the stop start chord chugs. It is a cool contrast. I also really like the background singing. It fits well and is where it belongs, in the background. It is sung and pretty well done. The drummer has a few cool fills sprinkled around. I love the outro. That annoying synth ends the song.

Decent but nothing that really amazed me. Self proclaiming your own band as a new genre is lame. Really, really lame.

7/10

My recommendations are all symphonic and/or folk metal, mostly stemming from death metal. A cool turn from the traditional black metal influences on symphonic and/or folk metal. Most are around 5-6 minutes long.

Because this has been bumped and no-one has dibs on anything annnd i have **** internet so downloading those sofngs is not an option i want to recomend a few songs.

[url]http://www.avengedsevenfold.com/cityofevil/-[/url] I dont have any P2P programs so this was the best i cant do. You can listen to all the new songs. Im sure everyone has heard these guys, but the new material is a hell of alot different to their other stuff so i think alot of these people that have written them off should have a listen to the new stuff.
Recommended songs- Sidewinder (end of the song is really cool), The wicked End and Strength of the world.

And because they dont get talked about enough i also rec. any songs off Angeldust by Faith No More. Sorry no link, but any P2P will have them.

[b]Dark Lunacy - My Dying Pathway[/b] - 6:01

Starts off in the middle of a riff, it feels like. Maybe it runs on straight from the last song. Anyway, it wastes little time on an intro of any kind, instead going more or less straight into the song. The vocalist is alright; nothing great, nothing awful, and the same could be said of the drumming, I think. The riff is pretty good, nicely melodic; nothing too technical, complex or adventurous, but pretty good. I'm kind of hoping that with a six minute running time it'll develop into something quite epic. Nice little change-up around thirty seconds in. It didn't change to anything remarkably different, but the little jump itself was pretty cool.

Vocals cut out around 1:00, and some slow, mournful sounding strings come in. Mostly higher strings, and I think the guitar mirrors what they're playing in the background, which is strange because the song more or less keeps going underneath. Anyway, the strings go away when the vocals come back in, and it carries on as before, until about 1:50, when a really nice melodic riff/lead appears in the background. A vocal fill leads this higher (epic-sounding) guitar back into the strings. And we have a slow, chunky part while the strings play over the top. The use of the strings is nice, but it seems to be getting a little overdone, as they're in it so much but aren't doing much in the way of variety.

Eep, spoke too soon. After a little instrumental break, which I thought was going to launch into another part of the song, the strings come back and do indeed play something different; a playful, higher-pitched melody, while the rest of the band maintains a more solid (and unremarkable) base to them. The vocals continue at seemingly irregular intervals, but they don't really intrude on the song, despite their harshness. The strings again begin to grate though, after a fairly long period of the same thing (nice though it is). Just before I get too bored, they switch it up again, with the strings playing some unsettling (in a good way) melody, and the drummer finally earning his keep. I've spent most of the song thinking that the drummer seemed their weakest member. He never seemed to be doing much, but now for a short while he's doing rather a lot and doing it rather well.

The whole song's slowing down now, and I think it's just going to fade out. Yep, it does.

8/10, I think. The use of strings occasionally got a bit tedious, but they never let it get tedious enough to just ruin the song. The drummer rescued himself from too much criticism towards the end, too.

I seem to recall hearing this name of a band before, but don't remember anything else.

Begins with a drum beat with a bit of cymbal and bass drum. Then a guitar comes in playing relaxed quiet chords. Nice, nothing special. The singer enters and has a nice voice.

Hahahahaha.... triumphant keys arpegiate upwards and then guitars come in with the triumphant synth chords underneath. I don't think it was supposed to be funny. It plays a few times then drops out leaving the same 'verse' section. It's still nice but feels a little too long. There are some quiet synth pulses before the triumphant section returns.

The singer's voice becomes annoying in the triumphant section. A second loud section follows triumph 2 and it is much better. less funny more cool. THe synths are gone is why. The into a bridge or seomthign. This seems to be the first time the bass has had a real part. It's a cool little section that sounds like the song is winding down. Strange because there are almost 2 minutes left. This section feels like it's going on a little too long but then we hear some cool modulation by the guitar and the vocals re-enter. I feel triumph 3 coming back before the end.

Oh! no something new and much better. The singer is screaming and it sounds alright. The guitar is becoming boring and then the song ends. That god for no more triumph.

6/10 triumph killed it.

Rufus Wainwright - 14th Street (4:44)
Starts off with just the singer for about a second before an accoustic guitar and a piano come in, the song slowly builds up, and the drums come in very sneaky, it's kinda cool, a second vocalist (Female?) comes in, I've listenned to the song a few times, and it is catchy :p
At about 1:30 a saxophone(?) comes in, I like this.
At about the 2:50 mark every instrument starts slowing down, the vocalist soon stops and some guitar and piano play for a little bit with some nice bass backing them, the backing vocalists come back in, this time without the male singer, and just continue their own little chorus for a little while, until the male singer comes in too, and the song just fades out with the singer's repeating their line "Why'd you have to break all my heart, couldn't you have saved a little bit of it", wow I didn't expect the end, a little banjo jig finishes the song off, I like the jig! :p

It was a fairly good song, the vocalist didn't interest me that much, he just repeats the same line alot, with little variation, which could be seen as a little tedious, but the backing instruments I liked in parts, I'd say about 6/10.

Never heard of this band before.

Begins with some noises and then a horn. Trumpet I think enters. There are other instruments there but really low in the mix. The electronic sounds are cool.

Woah! I didn't see this coming. A really ethnic vibe enters and the singer seems to have a latin accent. I like it. Reminds me of Manu Chao. Not what I expect from Australia. I like the combo of hammond organ and trumpet. It's a cool little song. The transitions are pretty bad. They don't flow, more like stop then start again. There is a bass solo of sorts but it sounds strange because of how bassy the mix is. More like a rumble.

Well, it's getting boring now. Not a whole lot has changed. There have been other sections but it keeps coming back to this long verse thing. I wish I could remember the name of this style of music. I want to say salsa but that doesn't seem right.

Ehhh.... I was bored and unimpressed by the end.

Wow, that started awefully quick. One BIG riff from guitar bass and drums starts the song off. The drums sound great, he is very creative. Lots of syncopation (sp). The guitars sound kind of opeth-like. Its good. The vocals come in, i dont like them one bit. Too raspy at first.
I quickyl get used to them though. Now they are awesome. Guitars are doing high end melodics. This song is really technical.

At a little over two minuets, the guitar riff changes slightly. Then it jumps into a big, face melting guitar solo. Which begins in a rage of speed, slowing through the entirty of the solo. After the solo, the melodic-ness comes back for a bit, almost like a breakdown, but it is realyl cool. The song is great, but it definatly need more variety. As in noticable chrous's and verses, it all sounded the same.

Overall, i give it a 8.5/20. I say, definatly check it out.

I wouldn't call DJ Shadow techno. Trip-hop is a much better classification for his music.

[I][B]Back from Hell[/B][/I] - [B]Narnia[/B]: 7:31

Long song. Opens with a short section of strange static and an explosion, and straight into the first riff, which is very cool, nice crunchy over drive on it. Got some good tempo to it. Reminds me a bit of Queensr˙che, which is no bad thing.

After some strange vocal effect I think and some half time cymbal usage, the track goes into the first verse/singy section. It's fair, the vocals I do like though.

More riffage at the 1:30 mark and this carries on will 2:10, with pretty standard switches between riffs, each pretty decent. The second verse is more of the same, and the following section is again more of the same. It seems to be very standard metal, unless I'm missing something deeper to this song.

Here we go; 3:30 is where we hit a switch. It's been a wait, but the drum fill into the solo piece is really nice. I think it starts with a keyboard solo, and then harmonized keyboard/guitar stuff then some shreddy guitar bits; it's really nice stuff though. My favorite bit so far. I bet you can tell I'm a drummer. :upset:

There is a head bangy section after this to switch back to a verse, which feels like a really big step back for the song. After what the solo section achieved, to go back and do all what has been done before again so quickly is a bit annoying. There is a repetition of all that has gone before except we now get stop gap bits which come back into the slow riff.

A siren has begun to release its slow wail. The music begins to fade out underneath it. Some very airy and ethereal sounds are coming up now, all calm, save for the lingering siren. It finally disappears and the vocalist starts talking of his turmoil, and how he plans to resolve it. Concept album?

I enjoyed that last section a lot, and the riffs were pretty decent whilst they remained fresh within the song. With that I must say it seemed very dragged out and maybe overstuffed. Overall not bad though, a [B]7.5/10[/B].

Never heard of this band before but I like post-rock so I hope I like this.

Begins with piano and an electronic sound in beat. Sounds cool. Then some slightly chuggy, but quiet guitars enter with hi-hat. I like it. Brooding. There are lots of extra little noises. Guitars and drums come in fully. Very nice, especially with the piano. I like the mix of electronic sounds and.... natural sounds (not natural but not computer generated).

This song is good. I really like the sections and the weight that the melodiues carry. There is an almost stop and go feeling to the music. I really like it. The way the drums are programmed is very cool. The super electric biuts mixed in with authentic sounding drums. The strings are also a nice touch.

This is good. This doesn't sound like a Godspeed side project either (of which there seem to be an infinite number). I'll look into this further. It reminds me of almost Pelican but less heavy. The same emotive riffs are there though. I really like the way the mix shifts and gives different instuments priority.

9/10 I diggit.

Your Sleepytime links are all dead, apart from Pthisis, which I've already heard :-/

Dancin' Man 06-11-2005 12:22 AM

WHAT!

Dammit! I'll redo them.

Dancin' Man 06-11-2005 12:54 AM

OK. I think The Donkey Head is still no good but the others are.

Dancin' Man 06-11-2005 12:56 AM

I lied. I think my email adress has exceeded it's alloted bandwidth. I need to go to bed. Just do The Cockroach.
