[b]Rancid - Burn[/b]
The song starts out with a very raw feel to it. It feels cheaply made, something I actually really like in pop-punk/punk songs. The verse is kind of quiet actually until the joint vocals come in. I like that part a lot, the bassline sounds very nice and Tim's vocals are standard Rancid

The chorus was disappointing to me. I know Rancid can get away with completely repetitive lines, but still it feels like they didn't put much effort into it and gave it one cliché line.

When the verse kicks in, what do we find? The same lines from the first verse. The only thing that kept me from falling asleep from this was the little guitar melody after the verse, which is quite good. Then it builds up a little, and heads straight into the chorus with just a bassline and drums, then guitar comes in. Then we get the verse again.

In the end, this is one of the worst Rancid songs I have ever heard. I know they are one of the biggest punk bands to grace my ears, but this is a horrible protest song with about 3 sentences in total. The music again wasn't up to Rancid's potential, and often left me bored and hoping, no, praying something good was coming. Sadly, I was let down by them

3/10

Selection up soooooooooon

The Quiet Screaming by The Legion Of Doom

8/10.

The beginning fits quite well, adds a more "emotional" feeling to it. I like. The beginning of the verse is overpowered by Chris Carabba, the only part I dont like that much. The second half of the first with Brand New is basically the same, and I still love it. The first chorus is also basically the same, and I still love it. The second "verse" has the quiet theme going on with it, which is great, and fits well with the song. It also leads up into the explosion of an outro, which is my favorite part of the song. I've heard the SF/TBS mix of these guys and they seem promising.

Check this out: They're a local band from my area, very amazing. They just made a video which should hopefully find its way onto MTV2/FUSE.

Anyone listen to the song I put up yet?

Kif 06-25-2005 05:50 AM

I can't believe I am giving up Cartel for this!

[b]Blessings and Burdens - Never Bled Like This[/b]
It starts out with feedback, then goes straight to the full band. I can't say I'm a fan to be honest. The music sounds messy although the drumming is really good (Pretty much the only thing that is in hardcore bands). The vocals are horrible really. I can't stand bands which [i]just[/i] scream.

Later, it slows down a little, and the guitar work gets a little more technical. Sadly, this is ruined by the vocals again.

Then it slows down majorly to a clean guitar and the bass drum playing. Now there's singing, which is actually quite good. I liked this part of the song, it gives it a much needed melodic feel. The lead guitar sounds amazing over the clean guitar. The singer's voice is incredibly strong as he shows.

The song then builds back into the full hardcore band with a screaming vocals which change to singing later. I think this sounds really great as well, the music is fantastic and is the perfect borderline between pop-punky riffs and over-distorted hardcore riffs.

About 3:43, the song changes again, this time with a distorted riff playing. Drums come in, and the song heads back into the dark mood that was present from the start of the song. I liked this bit, the music managed to make the screaming much more meaningful and not as messy as when the song started.

Overall, I misjudged this straight away. What began as another pathetic attempt at a "hardcore screamo" clone transformed into a band which showed a melodic side and then managed to pull off the screamo part much better. I liked this song actually, it had a lot of different sides to it and I liked the fact that it wasn't simply verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus.

8/10

Mine will be up shortly

Dibs on Finch

Riding_Downstream 06-25-2005 07:09 AM

The intro is good the singer is a little too breathy for me. The guitars are great. The music is good, I don't like the singer too much, but once he starts to sing instead of whisper he's ok. The melodics of the voice are good, but when he whispers I don't like it. The instruments are all very good. Then he starts to scream. which completely feels unneeded, and it completely ruins it for me. Overall this is an ok song.
6/10

Jersey's Best Dancer 06-25-2005 08:42 AM

recomendations?

Riding_Downstream 06-25-2005 12:59 PM

sorry about that I got kicked off the internet after I posted that
And Grateful Dead, reviews are made from peoples take on the song, I didn't like it and if you did good for you.
Hot Hot Heat You Owe Me An IOU
Keane This is the Last Time
Madness Our House

YSI won't work for me right now so I can try to post links later but I won't be home till Thursday, so I'll try again later

Kif 06-25-2005 02:11 PM

Grateful meant that you didn't put that much effort into the review. It seems like you didn't describe the song, and for a 5 minute song, you could at least give details about different parts of the song. You know, parts you liked and disliked, what made them good and what could make them better?

Anyway, just some thoughts

Holy crap when did Grateful get his 2001 status!

Kif 06-26-2005 05:53 AM

Bah since he's clearly not bothering with uploading a list just take another of mine

Jersey's Best Dancer 06-26-2005 10:30 AM

[SIZE=4]Over It - Siren On The 101 [/SIZE]

Starts off with a faint guitar riff and then kicks right into singing. It is a typical pop punk song throught the frist verse. It picks up for the chorus. The chorus is more enjoyable then the verse. Then another verse like the first, then the chorus again. Tehn it brakes down w/ a different singer and a faint guitar riff. Then it kicks in a little harder then the rest of the song. There is a nice little drum fill and then it slows down. The lead singer sings w/ just guitar and a faint violin playing. Then it goes into the chorus once again. It ends with a snare drum fill and the singer saying "Let me go!"

[SIZE=4]5/10[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4]Recomendations:[/SIZE]
Champion - Looking Back (hardcore)
The Real McKenzies - Get Lost (Scottish punk)
Lawrence Arms - Dancing Machine (Pop punk/Punk)
The Toasters - Modern World America (Ska)

I can't upload any of the songs, so use limewire or sumthing of that nature if u can pls. Sry

FloggingMurphy doesn't post here much I think, I guess it would be alright for someone to upload another list since no one is blatently going to do these (Unless someone here does have these songs)
