bump

what song is that?

the Marshall Tucker Band one, that guy said he was going to do it.

is it 2 hours until dibs are open again?
cuase then there open if it is

not sure about that

whatever ill just do it, im pretty sure it is

The marshall tucker band- southern women

i dont know what to think about this song. i like the guitar, its a soothing song. pretty slow song too.

they play the same guitar part throught the whole song, its almost a eric clapton style blues song. its a slower song, at first i wasent to excited to hear this song but the end it much better than the begining i think. i like long melodic solo's, and this does have a long solo. i dont know what instrument the first part of the solo is but then the guitar comes in, its not a fast solo, just a good melodic solo.

at the begining its a slow guitar then the vocal come in, as expected. the chorus is prett catchy, but not all that great. but it grows on you.

the solo is my favorite part in this song. its from 3:17 to about 6:30, so as you can see its a good long solo. as i said before its not a fast pace solo, more a melodic solo, as i said before,

at the end the verse and the chorus come back into play, that one catchy guitar riff thta this song has is great. they play it through out the song. i could really get into this song

as you can see this is a pretty long song at 7:55, almost 8 minutes, with almost a 3 minute solo, its really a quality song. not to much of a blues fan or this genre of music, but i like this one.

(this is my first review so give me some constructive critisism on my review, thx)

quo vadis- Dysgenics

I think this will be some good listening, if it’s the same as atheist and the like.
My first encounter with this band.

Starts of with some metallica sounding guitar work, but!!!
But, at 0:11 double bass kicks come in, wow, that sounds great, really tight sound, I love the sound of his double bassing, some nice fills, and the guitaring is very nice,.
At 1:29 vocals come in, I don’t like them too much,.
But it’s not that bad.
The drumming is just insane. I like the drummers style.
2:38 a nice solo, very clean not realy DM like, but very nice nonetheless.
3:39 vocals enter once more, and after a few secs another guitar solo.
Sounds a bit DT like.
At 5:08 the vocals come in to tell the end of the story, he growls very clear in this part.

The end :p

The drumming was awesome, the vocals I wasn’t fan of, nice song tho

9/10
Would have been 10/10 if the vocals were better

My picks:

My dying bride – the blue lotus (doom metal)

Burzum – die Liebe Nerpus (dark ambient, keyboard)

Let me know if you need a yousendit

i agree 100% with that review. i made a review of that whole cd at sputnik, and thats exacly what i said, great guitars, great drums, not so great vocals

^^
alright, I'm not the only one
They would be better if they had some deeper growling vocals like Opeth, dark tranquillity or at the gates.

but great nonetheless

/goes to sputnik to check out the review

[QUOTE=whatduffhuck7]i agree 100% with that review. i made a review of that whole cd at sputnik, and thats exacly what i said, great guitars, great drums, not so great vocals[/QUOTE]
Or rather, you liked the drums and guitar work and didn't like the vocals.
They aren't bad, you just didn't appreciate them.

i would do this one but i dont like both those bands so it would be all negative review, and nobody wants to see that

Could you you send it up?

/bump

sure

My Dying Bride- Blue Lotus

Burzum – Die Liebe Nerpus’

feel free to take dibs people!!

[B]Burzum ? Die Liebe Nerpus?[/B]

Song starts off with a keyed instrument(Piano?) and a stringed instrument(possibly a lute) played using a synth/keyboard. The intro is very folksih in rhythm and melody, and sounds like it should be accompanied by tambourines and toms.
Around 30 secs a tambourine enters joined by a lead melody. The lead melody is, I think a horn, but all of the voices suffer somewhat from being played on a snyth/keyboard. The tambourine and Horn melody add to the already established folk feel of the song. Save for a few alterations in the keyboard line not much else goes on in this song.

The folk feel makes this song interesting but it would really improve from some variations and length (it falls in at 2:14). 5/10

All yousendit'd for your Forced listening pleasure.

I Thought ad astra was done by arcturus?

dibs.

[b]Haggard - Per Aspera Ad Astra[/b] 6:40

Woah, intro got me started already. This is going to be great song.
Violin intro with and ochestraic percusion.

0:16 - the Metal elements come in, drums, guitars. Female Opera Vocals.

0:31 - growling comes in. Still very extremely classical at this point, while still metal as well.

1:05, the classic elements fade away, guitars take more control. Violins and whatnot are still behind, but the guitars are in the spotlight now.

Clean female vocals come in.

1:49 -growlings again.

2:02 - clean male vocals! with growling backing.

now it alternates with female vocals and growls.

2:50 - sounds a very power metal riff, but then it slows down again.

3:10 - sounds as if the song has finished. then a violin part comes out again.

3:36 - tambourines come in, and it sounds all folkish. Soon the distortions and growls enter again.

The entire song just goes between these.

Classical (emphasis on violins)
Well blended guitars with the classical elements
Female and male cleans, male growls.

And its enough to make the song majestic.

6:12 - Solo finally. Then it ends.

Great song, good blend between classical and metal. Very good blend. I've been trying to get haggard material, finally i got it. If you like nightwish, you'd like haggard.

8.5/10

Recommendations
Dark Lunacy - Frozen Memory (Symphonic Death)

[B]Falconer - Mindtraveller[/B]

Begins with a cool guitar riff that is joined by drums then the rest of the band. It lacks energy. This is one instance where speed could help that. Lo and behold, the drums go into a double time beat and it feels much more energetic. I like the folksyness. The singer sounds cheesy but he has a good voice so it's alright.

I really like it when the drums do the double time feel. It makes the song feel... twice as fast. The mix is a little strange. I don't know why, it just doesn't sound quite right.

The song is quite repetitive. I wish they had taken more time to do interesting things, like a key change or meter change. The solo is cool but short. Pretty standard power metal fare as far as the solo is concerned.

The singer said "elven"

7/10 Nothing special.

As far as I know, I like this general kind of music. Liked the previous Isis I have heard.
[b]Isis - Hive Destruction[/b] - 5:37

Starts off sounding rather like horror film music, actually. Very wind-chimey, eerie sounding. That's all disturbed by some very nice, thick, dense riffing at about 0:35. Well, loved that the instant I heard it, so this is looking promising. Rest of the band isn't doing anything particularly interesting, but that's not to say they're bad.

Vocals come in, and they're okay. They're not great - they sound kinda weak actually - but I can live with them. The guitars repeat the cool riffage a bit, before moving into a slower, more melodic lead thing around 1:50. I like the drums now, slow, paced, dramatic. Not enough to make me love the song by themselves..but maybe the guitars are, so that might not matter.

I can see this being a rather short review, as I'm only thirty seconds from the end, and haven't yet written much. The song's basically switching between bouts of that forced-sounding vocalist, and that really cool guitar.

And it ends, with neither a bang nor a whimper. Just seems to end.

7.5/10 Not bad, but I'm undecided as to whether I'll keep it and/or listen to it again. Had some good stuff going for it though (namely, those guitars), but overall didn't have enough to just blow me away.

[b]Jesu - Tired of Me[/b]

Someone mislabeled something somwhere but this is what was in the yousendit. It's 9:31 long.

Begins with a slow, dramatic guitar and some bass. Reminds me a lot of Sigur Ros. The vocals come in and they sound really nice. There's some effect on them I can't place but it sounds good. Not a whole lot is happening. It's chillout metal. This fits with Pelican under my genre of post-metal.

This will be very short as I am already 5 minutes into the song and have written very little.

The music almost feels like it should be played in a church. It just has that sound to it. THe drums take on a very different feel towards the end. More snare, almost like a march. Nicely done. I've never heard Godflesh, should I go looking?
