[B]Butch Walker - Alicia Amnesia[/B]

It starts off with some drums, then a heavy, funky guitar riff come in. when the vocals come in, chunky palm muted chords play. The vocals are very cool imo, something different, quite rough. The run down is more melodic, and the singing is less rough. The guitar is playing slow chords over the instruments. Then just before the chorus, is a quiet, palm muted chords playing over him whispering, probably my favourite part of the song, it builds up the chorus well. Then the chorus kicks in and it’s quite fast, loud and distorted. With very catchy lyrics, i like it.The verse plays again, same order. Until a solo comes in, with funky music playing in the background, it’s nothing too hard but nice anyway. It slows down, and goes quite for a second and then the chorus starts again. Then a great echoey effect takes place with lots of different voices singing, and then the end of the chorus is repeated over until the end.

Overall, i loved the song, it kept me listneing and wasn't too predictable, the vocals were really great, and it was the first song i've heard from him/them.

Remove xxx's, thanks.

ok, will do from now on.

Alkaline Trio called

ok The opening guitaars are nice and set the song well. I like this guys vocals better than the other Alk3 guy. The drums in the background keep the song going. The guitar keeps the beat, and the harmonies are great. When it breaks and has just the lyrics is a nice touch, then the lead back to the song is good too. The guitar parts between the verses are fun to listen to. The lyrics fit nicely.

The song seemas a little repetitive in the end, it seems its the same guitar and other parts, but then it breaks to a guitar lead underneath lyrics. Then the finishing music closes the song very well.

Overall it isn't the best Alkaline Trio song, but it is a very fun song to listen to.

7/10

It begins a very odd intro. Someone talking quite quitely and then another noise, then it quickly rushes into the full song. I like the way it starts, and when the vocals kick in, it sounds a lot more hectic. The vocals aren't too amazing, they sound good in places I suppose.

The chorus is very good with a nice guitar melody and the fast-paced drumming track. Again, I'd say the only thing that ruins this is the vocals. After this, it goes into a "pre-verse" part. The guitar in the verse sounds weird, very old, and kinda creeped me out.

Then there's another verse and chorus. They flow together very well, and the song keeps it's energy up all the way through. It then heads into a bridge. The solo is really great for a rock band like this, and is long enough to keep me entertained.

Overall, I liked this song a lot. There was a lot of variety in the music, and the drumming and guitar riffs flowed together fantastically. The only thing that ruined it was the vocals, which sounded quite bad at some places (Especially the chorus).

7/10, would've been 8/10 but the vocals took it down 1

[B]Jack's Mannequin - I'm Ready[/B]
Starts out with spoken words “And today was a day just like any other,” followed by a piano, which leads immediately into the first verse. The vocals are strong and fit well with the piano piece. The song speeds up a bit, and becomes more upbeat, when it hits the chorus. At around 2:30, another spoken piece enters into the background. The spoken words blend in with the singers voice when it resumes. The speaking adds to the impact of the song, because the words are very powerful. The song ends with repetition of the words “I’m Ready”, followed by a short piano outro.

Overall, I thought the song was pretty amazing. The vocals and piano flowed effortlessly throughout the whole song. It is a great example of an excellent piano-rock song, although that is to be expected from a man as talented as Andrew McMahon. 9/10

Yeah that was good, although you should add a rating from 1-10, but the detail was decent

[b]Roses Are Red - Conversations[/b]
Wow, it's been too long in my opinion. This is a great thread and it's a shame it isn't as utilized as it should be. Still, it's back now much to my approval :D

Onto the song. It kicks in straight away with a catchy palm-muted and heavy riff, which leads into the full band. The vocals catch my attention, sounding distorted and loud. It works well against the gritty feel of the music, and sends you into the full song. The 2 guitars sound great together, although at some bits one does seem very quiet.

Into the chorus, it sounds very radio-friendly and similar to lots of bands around today. The backing vocals add a bit of depth to it, but it doesn't jump out. That being said, it doesn't need to when the chorus sounds great as it is.

One thing that puts me off is it's hard to tell when the chorus begins and the verse ends. The music sounds similar all throughout, with no real lead-ins to each other, and the vocals don't differate at all either. The bridge is the most noticable part of the song, using a high melody over a palm-muted riff. It works very well as 2 vocalist part lay over each other, and backing vocals bring them out more. It takes a long time to finish though haha.

Overall, an impressive song I think. The music wasn't too original, but fitted with the vocals very well. It is hard to tell parts of the song apart though, which is probably my only gripe about it.

8/10

Dibs it like this baby.

[U][B]My Awesome Compilation - You Need Discipline[/B][/U]

Ok, so this song starts off with feedback from the guitar then the drums kick in with the cymbals then all the instruments blast in, the guitar riff is pretty boring i think but the verse then comes in really smoothly and the voclas come in, he sounds good, nice to hear a brit for once :p, after he sings for a while over the full distorted guitar he says the line 'You need Discipline' the riff comes in again with no vocals, i like this part, a drum roll comes in to the chorus which is quite nice, good mix of two vocalists throughout the song, but the chorus is very short...
Then a part where the guitar plays a very simple solo part and the voclas come in again, with nice background vocals, reminiscent of TBS, kinda like the end of [I]Your so last summer [/I] the chorus is played a few times and it ends...

Overall, i didn't find the song catchy, i dooubt i will listen to it again, and it seemed really generic and boring.
The chorus was the strong point even though it was too short
It wasn't horrible but it wasn't interesting either...

[b]Adolescents - Creatures[/b]
Begins straight into the song, with vocals and music starting almost immediately. I don't like that style, but I suppose it would sound better with the whole album. Seen as though this song is only about 2 minutes long, the verses are short and sweet, and the gritty vocals fit with the bursts of distortion.

The chorus is pretty standard, and in general just seems like a catchy line that fits the song's nature. I like it, and it sounds energetic for a punk song. The message of the song is quite self-explanitory, and works nicely against the loud music.

7/10, a good punk song but the beginning ruined it a little for me.
