Sorry, I guess I should have read the rules first haha.

dibs, Damage Plan - Save mE

Damageplan - Save Me

This song starts off with an amazing opening riff and loud, dominating drums. Then the singing kicks in. The singer has an amazing voice which ranges from the soft tones he uses in the verse to the bits of odd shouting here and there. The chorus is very well written and has a great lyrical hook...."SAVE ME! FROM MYSELF!" However this could be viewed as rather cliche.

I already knew this band was a side project from two members of Pantera. However I had not heard any of the actual music. On listening to them, the Pantera style is present, this however is not a bad thing. Bands with variation are great, but why vary a well working formula?
This song is excellent from start to finish, well worth a listen.

Rating: 10/10
For fans of: Pantera, Soulfly, Sepultura

Machine Head - Imperium
Soulfly - Prophecy
The Haunted - Shadow World

Someone do one of them, I've heard them all.

dibs soulfly prophecy

Soulfly-Prophecy

Begins with some crazy guitar effects that get repetitive and annoying, then breaks into a heavy drum beat with rap/shouting lyrics. the verse repeats itself fairly regularly then bridges to.... the exact same thing. another verse, another bridge, then a faster more interesting verse with better drums/guitar. the song finishes off with some an odd female voice singing lyricless tones.
a run-of-the-mill song, but good nonetheless
7/10

Children of Bodom-needled 24/7

or BLS-the blessed hellride

I would recommend Needled 24/7 to whoever is gonna take dibs.

Ive heard both :(

Dibs

which one?

He doesnt have to call dibs on a specific one, its whatever one you have an easier time finding pretty much. Although i dont think BassDialated will have much trouble finding bodom or BLS

[B]Children of Bodom - Needled 24/7[/b]

First starts of at a very fast pace, the guitars sounds very awsome, and so far im blown away by the first 30 seconds of the song, the guitars continues to keep a constant fast beat, the singer comes in and the lyrics arent that good, he has a wicked scream though :thumb:. Around 1:40 there is a guitar solo, a short one but its awsome. As the song continues on basically simliar beat until 2:30 it completley changes. Still keeping a fast beat though.

Everything about this song was awsome, except for the singer, he was still good though, I give this song a 9/10, ill defenetly be listening to more of there music.

im really bored

yeah you can take dibs as much as you want, go right ahead

cool
dibs then

excellant spoken intro with cool bass then a nice drum beat and memorable guitar riff join in. a strange but interesting wahwah sound plays in the background. some nice supporting brass. chorus comes and goes, followed by a guitar bridge, a new drum beat, more lyrics. another building chorus and another verse, and to finish, some odd techno whistles.
a truely beautiful song with driven ::hehe:: lyrics and great instrumental support.
10/10, a grade i dont give lightly

Bad Religion-Let Them Eat War (punk rock)
Slipknot-The Heretic Anthem (metal/numetal)
Jimi Hendrix-Fire (classic rock)

That was cake-going the distance

If know one minds ill take dibs agian.

go ahead

[B] Bad Religion - Let Them Eat War[/B]

Starts off with a nice guitar rythem, guitars are keeping a nice beat and the singer is pretty good, as the song plays on there isnt really anything amazing, and it begins to become repetative. Around 2 minutes in there is a nice guitar solo though. 2:20 into the song it has the nice lyrics "Feed them Death", that was a nice touch i thought.

Overall the song isnt to bad, the lyrics are catchy and so is the beat and guitar, I give this song a 7/10. It was nice But nothing special. :thumb:

what the hell
dibs

Sum 41- Pain for Pleasure

i couldnt find any of the other songs, so ill just do this one

Pain for Pleasure starts out with a nice little washboard clacking sound, which is soon joined by a declining bass which is cool. A guitar joins in with a distorted semi-harmonizing riff. next the drums speed up and the guitar breaks to a catchy little number. The voice cuts in and totally ruins the song. the instrumentation really had me going, but the voice was a total buzzkill. Whoevers singing might have a decent voice in other types of music, but that is definately not his forte, especially the high screaming. all in all, a mediocre song. Could have been better, could have been worse
5/10

Cream-Tales of Brave Ulysses
Jet-Cold Hard Bitch
Orgy-Blue Monday

or Jimi Hendrix or Slipknot from before which noone reviewed

I guess ill call dibs agian, ill go for Slipknot this time

[B]Slipknot - The Heretic Anthem[/B]

Alright ive heard Slipknot before but not this song, personally i usetoo like Slipknot then it became crap to me really, but maybe this could be a change for me. It starts of with a interesting count down. Then it goes to heavy Guitar and Drums. Generally what Slipknot does. Comes in with the same type of screaming heavy lyrics that Slipknot does often, so far its not really anything different. The lyrics are actaully pretty corny "If your 555 im 666". So far im 2 minutes in and im already bored with the song.

Thgis song wasnt much different from Slipknots older songs like Left Behind or Wait and Bleed. Still smiliar heavy rock. i give it a 5/10 for old times sake. This song I defenetly wont listen to agian.

Taproot - Poem

Starts off with a nice semi-dirty guitar riff which then launches into a heavier, distorted version of it. The singing comes in which I do not like. I think this guy's voice is too whiny. Then the pre-chorus comes in where he screams every 4th word or so and then hits the chorus. Now comes in the chorus which I actually do kind of like. Then the rest of the song is pretty repetitive. 3/10. Decent for nu-metal song I guess but I listen to a lot of death/prog/black/melodic metal stuff so this kind of turns me off.


Since I've been listening a bit less metal these days...
