bgillesp: Sput's MAR 2018 Song of the Day

bgillesp 02.27.18	Before you tell me I stole this, neek asked me to take over. It's his idea that I volunteered to help shoulder the burden of maintaining. Roll the recs in!
Papa Universe 02.27.18	you stole this!
DinosaurJones 02.27.18	Sounds good, bgillesp. Here's my rec: Vitalism - Yami Obi How do you make djent tolerable? Why, you add a saxophone! I can't give you a link because I'm on a work computer, sorry :[
Papa Universe 02.27.18	Datarock - Laugh in the Face of Darkness (off Face the Brutality): watch?v=6W8BDbAuWmI [electronic, dancepunk] Before their newest album comes out this month, here is the first single and one that's been plaguing my mind ever since its release. It is catchy in a rather unconventional way. No grand explosion, no vocal range, no surprising instrumental collision, nothing outstandingly significant in any way, except it is just so goddamn fun and the chorus is easily one of my favourites of the year so far.
bgillesp 02.27.18	I'll be back in an hour or so, hopefully to update a lot
neekafat 02.27.18	Lmao I'm definitely gonna have to steal that rule bgill, thanks so much for the helping hand!
Drifter 02.27.18	Save me spot 4 pls, gotta think
neekafat 02.27.18	"Signal to Noise" by Peter Gabriel (from Up) A cosmic, massive, terrifying, and beautiful epic from Peter Gabriel, and one of the best songs from one of my favorite albums. I guess I could see why someone wouldn't dig this, but I can't escape the awesomeness and pure size of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD_-yI0H-K8 Also, be sure to keep voting on the February page!
BigPleb 02.27.18	Arc Iris - Kaleidoscope: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdQAPy-yvM0 It's off the album Moon Saloon. Experimental folk and errr yeah...nothing really like it haha.
BlazinBlitzer 02.27.18	Umphrey's McGee - "Plunger" I wanted to rec some good jam rock that I used to listen to for their famous drumming performances. It was between this and "Elephant Ghost" by C2B3, but I ultimately went with this track because it's much more organized and I think the lyrics are really solid. Not to mention that it one of the best jam rock album openers ever. The song also ends up taking a massive and risky genre shift in the second half that I think pays off 100%. Spoiler alert: It's complete with castinets and congas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Hro52DvlAw
bgillesp 02.27.18	Drifter, if you specifically want spot 4 I can put you there, just let me know. "Also, be sure to keep voting on the February page!" [2]
RadicalEd 02.27.18	Los Campesinos - A Slow, Slow Death (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZIjxMJeTrE) Just a really great indie rock anthem that feels like it's been written in 2007 but is actually from 2017. I feel their last album flew way under the radar for no reason....
neekafat 02.27.18	I'd recommend putting the dates and users up on the list by their recs too, but it's yours now so you can do what you think is best (:
Drifter 02.27.18	R. Kelly - Down Low (Nobody Has To Know) (R. Kelly) Genre: Quiet Storm https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8icIgtdKkdA Yes I want spot 4 please and thx
neekafat 02.27.18	Glad that this has become a regular feature-worthy list series
Skoop 02.27.18	The Clientele-Reflections After Jane https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Hg1zIAh3rc So many artists seem to strive for the rainy evening in the city vibe that The Clientele seemed to capture so perfectly with this album and especially Reflections After Jane. Simply a lovely little innocent tune.
Skoop 02.27.18	Also I'll do my best to be a dutiful little tyke this month and actually partake.
bgillesp 02.27.18	Bumping for recs, will update tonight
bgillesp 02.27.18	Keep em rolling in. 9/31 spots filled
Papa Universe 02.27.18	could you add the rec'ers and dates, please?
JustJoe. 02.27.18	Do I need to explain myself or can I just rec a song & give a link?
Papa Universe 02.27.18	you can explain yourself, but you don't have to.
JustJoe. 02.27.18	* DjRUM -- "Undercoat" ~ [Future Garage] https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zUg6eJZEWwk
JustJoe. 02.27.18	It's from his "Mountains" EP. I should've clarified.
JustJoe. 02.27.18	So, when the day comes up, I just listen & rate it out of 5 & then that's all? I want to make sure I got the rules down. I don't want to be that guy.
Papa Universe 02.27.18	verifying: you got the rules correct. most folks also write a lil' something about their song, but you don't have to...
Papa Universe 02.27.18	yeah. in the meantime, you listen and rate the songs others rec the days they are rec'd for
JustJoe. 02.28.18	I see, I see. Thanks for the clarification.
Papa Universe 02.28.18	Aye
bgillesp 02.28.18	Yup, rate other people's songs, not yours.
Papa Universe 02.28.18	Bgil, is your silence to my question about dates and rec'ers a no?
Dewinged 02.28.18	I miserably failed to jam and rate the last 5 songs of last month but will try to keep this one up to date. My rec! Fire! Orchestra - Ritual Pt. 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0znLU8Ze94 Witness the madness, the thrill, the everlasting sound of a bunch of lunatic jazz musicians destroying conventions and having a communal orgasm!
bgillesp 02.28.18	Oh, I will do that Papi! Thanks for reminding me
bgillesp 02.28.18	Updates coming soon
Drifter 02.28.18	Swag. Still not totally sure on my pick but more so than any of my other ones Or maybe I've just reached a higher level of laziness
bgillesp 02.28.18	Thar she blows
JustJoe. 02.28.18	That description you included on mine is priceless, bgillesp.
neekafat 02.28.18	lmaooo
Drifter 02.28.18	Omg the descrip for mine is awesome lol The reason I want the 4th is 1.) I called it, and 2.) it's soon
bgillesp 02.28.18	So birthday confirmed... Glad yall like descriptions. Bump for more recs, roll em in people, theres 20 more spots to fill
bgillesp 02.28.18	Re-bump for neekafat cuz this was a cool list idea and I want it to survive
JustJoe. 02.28.18	I would summon users but I don't have that kind of sway here.
bgillesp 02.28.18	Speaking of summoning, Papi, I'll take a rec from your dentist friend if you want
Papa Universe 02.28.18	Who?
Papa Universe 02.28.18	oh, PlaqueDoctor was banned
bgillesp 02.28.18	Is Compost alive still?
BlackMalachite 02.28.18	I choose the song "Singularity" by Red off of their album 'Gone' Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUSW4KkT1lk
bgillesp 02.28.18	In. Also if you don't give me a description I will write one for you as a rule.
DinosaurJones 02.28.18	... I really thought Snide wrote that, until I scrolled down.
BlackMalachite 02.28.18	For sure fam, sorry I'm like super out of it right now.
neekafat 02.28.18	Wait why did he get banned?
Papa Universe 02.28.18	cause I messed up and both of us got to pay, although I got unbanned since. Plaque is still in the ether tho
Aberf 02.28.18	Ling Tosite Sigure - ten to ten [from '#5'] A power trio band LTS is back with another album. The energy in here is almost unparalleled, potentially the best from the album. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZOwOPA-zaQh7oUZEUqKQes9-v4VFW0Vi/view?usp=sharing
bgillesp 02.28.18	Thanks Abe!
neekafat 02.28.18	Papa you destroy so many lives
neekafat 02.28.18	I'll summon some once this starts slowing down and we get closer to repeats
JustJoe. 02.28.18	Is that like Mod or Staff? Summoner? Did I miss the application?
Metalrain 02.28.18	Guess ill rec some again. Luna Sea - Rosier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfIEVu3FzkU J-Rock sumarized in one song.
bgillesp 02.28.18	Updates will come again tonight. Thanks yall
JustJoe. 03.01.18	This starts tomorrow, correct?
bgillesp 03.01.18	Yes it does Joe
JustJoe. 03.01.18	Awesome.
Drifter 03.01.18	The 4th isn't my birthday wtf
bgillesp 03.01.18	Sure its not
Drifter 03.01.18	Bruh I literally have a list from 2016 and/or 2017 for my birthday in September AND on dewinged's birthday list I have it as September 30. The 4th is just really soon so I picked it cuz I was the 4th person
bgillesp 03.01.18	Happy Sweet 16 bud!
Drifter 03.01.18	Jfc
Drifter 03.01.18	Still not totally sure about my pick tbh. I picked it mostly for dear old dad because he didn't like Step In The Name of Love for it being poppish so I figgered id pick some good ol quiet storm It's a shame people will know the song as a Weeknd song now instead of Kells. Fucking shame
bgillesp 03.01.18	I don't know the Weeknd so it'll be a first for me. All I know him for is trapped in the closet
Drifter 03.01.18	Trapped In The Closet is one of the greatest achievements im music period. It's genius is so above almost anything else I've ever heard. If I were to rate the 3 sets of chapters, I would have 3 new 5s
bgillesp 03.01.18	Its funny but the same thing over and over. I'd give the entire thing a 3.5 probs
Drifter 03.01.18	I don't even listen to it for the comedy. I listen cuz the story is just riveting. Did I mention R. Kelly's a genius? Yeah. Musical God. Paralleled by few ever in terms of sheer greatness.
Dewinged 03.01.18	Let's get this started: Syl Johnson - Sweet, soulful, dope track. 4.2
JustJoe. 03.01.18	* Syl Johnson -- "Is It Because I'm Black" ~ [3.8]
bgillesp 03.01.18	Glad you dug Dewi and Joe!
RadicalEd 03.01.18	Syl Johnson - Is It Because I'm Black [4,3] Great voice, love the funky groove as well. Mayyyybe a little bit too long for it's own good, but I really love it.
BlazinBlitzer 03.01.18	Syl Johnson - "Is It Because I'm Black": I wouldn't mind it's length if the second half had at least some progression in it like the first half did, but I'm somewhat more forgiving toward R&B/Funk tracks like this in regards to length. Everything else is pretty good. 3.5/5
Papa Universe 03.01.18	Syl Johnson - Is It Because I'm Black rating: Them moody grooves. Tasty! 4
DinosaurJones 03.01.18	Syl Johnson - Is It Because I'm Black Dewi - 4.2 JustJoe - 3.8 RadicalEd - 4.3 BlazinBlitzer - 3.5 Uni - 4 Dino - it's got that soul, it's got that groove, and it's got that funk. Maybe a bit overlong, but definitely a great track. 4.2
neekafat 03.01.18	Like to get a few more votes on the FEB page before we officially rank them!
ArsMoriendi 03.01.18	Zombie by Fela Kuti One of the best songs I've ever heard. Period. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj5x6pbJMyU
ArsMoriendi 03.01.18	"Is It Because I'm Black?" Powerful lyrics, soothing instrumentation. 4.3/5
neekafat 03.01.18	Is it Because I'm Black?: Yeah this is really great and I love the way it moves and grooves, but honestly I don't think it justifies its length musically so 3.9
Drifter 03.01.18	gonna listen to syl now I guess
Drifter 03.01.18	syl = 4
DinosaurJones 03.01.18	I look forward to tomorrow. I usually don't like Djent, though I guess it would be more accurate to say I'm extremely picky about it.
Drifter 03.01.18	djent = shit
DinosaurJones 03.01.18	***MOST djent = shit My Spotify seems to think I love djent even though I like about 5 songs.
Drifter 03.01.18	lol that's how it goes
DinosaurJones 03.01.18	To be fair though, there's not many things that couldn't be improved with the addition of a saxophone.
Drifter 03.01.18	that song sounds abys
Skoop 03.01.18	Syl Johnson-Is It Because I'm Black Well performed and just groovetastic. 4.2
ZombieToyDuck 03.01.18	G. Yamazawa- One Crown (off of Shouts to Durham) Jazzy hip-hop with some effortless rap flows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lve8H2G-NiY
ZombieToyDuck 03.01.18	oh description hold up edit: all good!
Aberf 03.01.18	"Is It Because I'm Black?" N***** 4.0
Kompys2000 03.01.18	Hey all, I've been hella busy and basically haven't been on the site at all in like 3 weeks, I'll try to stick with the March edition more diligently than the February one lol. My rec for March is Jellyfish-New Mistake Gorgeous '90s power-pop that feels like it could have come straight out of the '70s. Catchy as all hell, with great lyrics to boot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHvgQDRpA-s Is it Because I'm Black- 4.3, I'm a sucker for '70s soul and this is why- the smooth groove, the passionate vocals, the bitterness of the lyrics, all of it is just great.
bgillesp 03.01.18	Glad to see y'all liking this track, hope you give the record a spin. I'll update again tonight. Also don't worry about it Kompys, people got stuff to do, we get it
music4themasses 03.02.18	Moe Bandz (KTS) - The Message https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnmngPN_LzE Beat cold, flow colder, "I do this for my niggas, on bro//you disrespect my niggas, brains on the flo"
Pheromone 03.02.18	I'll return for this season, give me a day bb
JustJoe. 03.02.18	* Vitalism -- "Yami Obi" ~ [3.7]
bgillesp 03.02.18	@music4themasses (sach?), I'm not adding that to the DB but if you do i'll edit the list to include the right artist/album
Dewinged 03.02.18	Vitalism - Interesting, certainly didn't see that djent coming after the sax intro, it would have been cool to go in without knowing it haha. 4.0.
bgillesp 03.02.18	Listening to a song the night before and commenting I'm totally cool with, just don't get too far ahead of yourselves I'll say just in case you planned on doing more. That way comments for the same song stay in a similar spot in the thread
JustJoe. 03.02.18	Sorry about that.
neekafat 03.02.18	No worries, plus a lot of people live in different time zones so it's hard to say what day is exactly what for everyone
bgillesp 03.02.18	No it's all good! Better early than late, I just didn't want you running through the whole month in a few days
bgillesp 03.02.18	Also time zones are thing yeah, thanks @neek
bgillesp 03.02.18	Yami Obi- definitely on or just below that top shelf of Djent selection, really great flow and sound, easily the most confusing music video I've ever seen in my life, 3.8
neekafat 03.02.18	I wanted to cuss out Uni all the time but he's an Aussie, so :/
RadicalEd 03.02.18	Yami Obi - 1.8 Well. I didn't totally hate the first minute.
Skoop 03.02.18	Yami Obi The jazzy sections are indeed nice but the djent just doesn't mesh like I want it to. Frustrating track. 2.7
Dewinged 03.02.18	Yeah sorry about the earliness, bgill, but time difference. I can wait a day and maybe it fits better, no prob.
Papa Universe 03.02.18	That's why I always leave it for the evening, Dewi.
bgillesp 03.02.18	Really not a problem at all guys! I was only concerned about the possibility of y'all running way ahead which you have not done
DinosaurJones 03.02.18	I guess we're not supposed to rate our own pick, so I'm at a loss for today, haha
bgillesp 03.02.18	Yup, sorry bud. Seems like you're getting mixed reviews too :/
Papa Universe 03.02.18	Vitalism - Yamí Obi rating: One thing I could never hold against djent and prog-metal in general is the instrumental palette and finesse. As expected, the instrumental range and the range of skills on here is impressive. But a much more intriguing aspect of the genre is how it manages every single time and without amiss shoot itself into the head and fall into the already prepared grave it dug itself up. In that, that instrumentation always ends up wasted on the most soul-deadening song-writing (or lack thereof), sterilised production and the lack of coherence regarding the instrumental passages separately (in that, they just often sound like there are two completely separate songs from absolutely different genres playing at the same time). No, thank you. 1.5
DinosaurJones 03.02.18	Haha, I figured I would. Djent is a pretty disdained genre. I don't even like it much myself, I just really dug this song in particular.
bgillesp 03.02.18	I like how 18's picture is dead opposite to the song actually rec'd
ArsMoriendi 03.02.18	"Yami Obi" I love saxophone, but the sax in this song just made it sound like soap opera or porno music (either works.) Today I learned that djent and smooth jazz sound stupid together. Sorry Dino :( 1.4/5
Kompys2000 03.02.18	I'm really not seeing the hate for Yami Obi- I think it's a great little tune with a lot of personality, reminded me a lot of AaL (possibly because that's the only djenty band I listen to). The song's djent elements are by far its weakest aspect, and as with a lot of super-technical music it feels rather sterile and calculated (especially in the production), but still, not a bad song by any means. 3.6/5
Aberf 03.02.18	"Yami Obi" Is this a next level wankery? 2.0
bgillesp 03.03.18	Updatesed
BlazinBlitzer 03.03.18	Vitalism - "Yami Obi": Cardinal direction does not exist in this universe. 2.2/5
bgillesp 03.03.18	I'm gonna add yours tomorrow
BlazinBlitzer 03.03.18	Datarock - "Laugh in the Face of Darkness": It's alright, but the vocals are ear-bleedingly bad and I couldn't tell whether it was the singer or the vocal production. Then I realized it was both. It's a shame, too, because I was thinking that there was a little bit of subtle satire and self-awareness occurring in the songwriting, so the concept was there. However, much of a track's quality is execution, and that was not too well done, I'm afraid. 2.6/5
Papa Universe 03.03.18	I swear to god, if this song rates lower than Yami Obi...
JustJoe. 03.03.18	* Datarock -- "Laugh in the Face of Darkness" ~ [3.8]
ArsMoriendi 03.03.18	"Laugh in the Face of Darkness" This guy's voice reminds me of Tomm Wiseau a little. Musically, it's tip top though. I'm conflicted. I can get over meh vocals for good instrumentation a little... 3.5/5
Aberf 03.03.18	"Laugh in the Face of Darkness" I thought I would hate this vocal, but it ended up to be tolerable. 3.3
bgillesp 03.03.18	Laugh in the Face of Darkness- 3.2 The lyrics were composed entirely of cliches. Literally. It was still enjoyable but c'mon
bgillesp 03.04.18	nightly update bump
Drifter 03.04.18	Pmub
Skoop 03.04.18	Laugh in the Face of Darkness Solid groove but otherwise unremarkable, especially the vocals. 3.1
RadicalEd 03.04.18	Laugh in the Face of Darkness - 2.5 Decent groove and instrumentation but horrible lyrics and meeeeh songwriting. Down Low - 1.0 Sorry but this is just horrendous to me. Cheesy 90's R'n'B makes me cringe harder than almost anything else.
JustJoe. 03.04.18	* R. Kelly -- "Down Low" ~ [3.9]
Drifter 03.04.18	What the fuck ED
Metalrain 03.04.18	Is It Because I'm Black: cut off 2 minutes and I think this could be 4.5+ material. Still godly tho. 4.1 (52.1/13) = 4.00 Yami Obi: Kinda torn on this one. On one hand, it got some good ideas. and the insturmentation is detailed. On the other hand it really does sound like a mess. 2.4 (29.1/11) = 2.64 Laugh in the Face of Darkness: Really average, not much else. 2.5 Down Low: Liked this more as it went on, chill track. 3.8
BlazinBlitzer 03.04.18	R. Kelly - "Down Low": It plays out really average to start off with, but the production is far too clean and that bumped it down a bit more. 2.6/5
bgillesp 03.04.18	Oh thanks Metalrain!
bgillesp 03.04.18	Updated, this month is struggling so far... Also I didn't like your math metalrain. Shorting Syl 0.7 points...
ArsMoriendi 03.04.18	"Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)" What is this the theme song to Grindr? lmao Just short of good 2.9/5
bgillesp 03.04.18	Also Happy Birthday Drifter!!
JustJoe. 03.04.18	OH SNAP FORREAL? HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DRIFT!
Metalrain 03.04.18	Sorry for the wrong math, don't know what went wrong. Now way am I trying to sabotage this if you think that.
Drifter 03.04.18	IT'S NOT MY BIRTHDAY
JustJoe. 03.04.18	Well then this is awkward.
bgillesp 03.05.18	I was just messing with ya Metalrain
JustJoe. 03.05.18	* Arc Iris -- "Kaleidoscope" ~ [4.1]
RadicalEd 03.05.18	Kaleidoscope - 4.0 This is some dope stuff. Really dig the off-kilter rhythm of the song. I'm not 100 % sold on the vocals, but they weren't bad. Gotta check the album. Could see really digging it.
BigPleb 03.05.18	Nice to see people digging 5. Definitely check the album, really multifaceted.
BlazinBlitzer 03.05.18	Arc Iris - "Kaleidoscope": Wooooowee. Not only is this a compositional beauty, but it breaks several genre conventions within its runtime without ever feeling disjointed or confused and that is nothing short of fantastic. The ending doesn't stack up to the rest of it I guess, but that's quite a nitpicky nitpick. Oh yeah, the music video is also amazing and it's a visual treat. 4.6/5
BlazinBlitzer 03.05.18	I kept looking at the album cover and I expected a 90's prog metal track lol. It kinda looks like a cover Symphony X would've made back then.
BigPleb 03.05.18	It's a trip man, that's for sure.
bgillesp 03.05.18	Oh poop, this was really good. Kaleidoscope=4.5 from me and I will check the album at some point for sure!
BigPleb 03.05.18	Niiiiccee, band needs more attention.
bgillesp 03.06.18	Nightly update bump
neekafat 03.06.18	Gonna be on this tomorrow morning, was shooting and casting all weekend
BlazinBlitzer 03.06.18	Can I ask what for?
Skoop 03.06.18	Down Low Was dragging for me not even half way in. I am not the audience for this. 2.5 Kaleidoscope One of the stronger songs I've heard from this group. All of the instrumental techniques really add up to an engaging track. 3.8
JustJoe. 03.06.18	* Umphrey's McGee -- "Plunger" ~ [4.3]
bgillesp 03.06.18	Plunger- 3.8 Cool track but nothing really stood out to me That could be a case of following a tough act though
bgillesp 03.07.18	Only two votes on today so I'm just gonna update tomorrow for the sake of sleep. I'll get everybody though so don't worry
BlazinBlitzer 03.07.18	Yeah, this thread needs some bumping.
ArsMoriendi 03.07.18	"Kaleidoscope" Overstayed its welcome, but not bad. 3.6/5
ArsMoriendi 03.07.18	"Plunger" Jam band/5 (So like a 2.2/5) :/
BlazinBlitzer 03.07.18	Noooo, my average :( (Jk, at least you're honest)
neekafat 03.07.18	@Blazin, two different projects haha, we were shooting our Production II final project (which is turning out great btw), and casting a comedy horror we're filming in a couple weeks
BlazinBlitzer 03.07.18	Cool stuff, neek! Are you gonna share a link to the finished product on here through a list? I'm just asking so I know what to look out for.
neekafat 03.07.18	I'm thinking about doing a dump sometime in the future of the last few projects I've been working on just for the hell of it (:
BlazinBlitzer 03.07.18	Ah, ok!
neekafat 03.07.18	Probably only two or three will be ready anytime soon tho but I just kinda want to share what I've been up to!
BlazinBlitzer 03.07.18	Well, I'll be waiting!
neekafat 03.07.18	Thanks dude (:
neekafat 03.07.18	Yami Obi: If this is what djent is then I guess I like djent. 3.7- AVG: 32.8/12=2.73 (12 votes) Laugh in the Face of Death: So uncool it actually kinda hurt. 2.8 - AVG: 27.3/7=3.03 (7 votes) Down Low (Nobody Has to Know): Woah. I liked this way way more than I should’ve but that was buttery smooth in just the right ways. 3.9 - AVG: 21.4/7=3.06 (7 votes) Kaleidoscope: Yeah this was pretty awesome, but almost off-puttingly so in a strange way. 4.2 Plunger: This was a lot of fun, but I honestly didn’t really dig the first half much. I loved the crossover but as much as I enjoyed it, I still probably won’t find myself coming back to it. 3.8
BlazinBlitzer 03.07.18	I just noticed that there's a face on the cover of the Peter Gabriel album and I can't unsee it now.
neekafat 03.07.18	Albums one of my Top 5 honestly, and yes I remember that moment very well
JustJoe. 03.07.18	* Peter Gabriel -- "Signal to Noise" ~ [4.0]
bgillesp 03.07.18	Sounds cool neek! I'll look out for it as well. Thanks! for he help too (:
neekafat 03.07.18	No worries bgill, least I could do (:
bgillesp 03.07.18	Signal to Noise- 4.0 Amazing song with an even better atmosphere. The lyrics aren't perfect, the ending devolved a bit when it went into the orchestral section, and the genesisms pop up around the 4:30 mark which is good or bad depending on how you feel about Genesis. While that sounds like I was complaining a bunch, those are more just minor nit-picks of an otherwise awesome song.
neekafat 03.07.18	But the orchestra section is the best part ):
BlazinBlitzer 03.07.18	Peter Gabriel - “Signal to Noise”: Is this Peter Gabriel or Yoko Ono? Their differences are beginning to lessen here. Nonetheless, it’s a powerful and frankly abrasive track and hits the right spots in the majority areas but not so much in others. This song’s kinda similar to an assorted bag of jellybeans. Most flavors have a good taste but some of them, like the buttered popcorn or toasted marshmallow, are like eating rabbit droppings. 3.6/5
bgillesp 03.07.18	What does Gabriel have to do with Ono?
Egarran 03.07.18	Arc Iris - Kaleidoscope Sweet. 4.0 Umphrey's Mcgee - Plunger It's really good when he doesn't sing. 3.5 “Signal to Noise” Ugh. But it's ambitious and I can hear why some would love it. 3.0
ArsMoriendi 03.07.18	"Signal to Noise" This is so early 2000s, but it's not bad at all. Actually it held my attention for it's entirety. Could even grow on me. Those ending strings hammered in the positive score too. 4.2/5
BlazinBlitzer 03.07.18	The noises he was making on this track kinda reminded me of her.
neekafat 03.07.18	Woah even Ars liked this Everyone who dug this should check that album, really all over the place but super cohesive, easily his best work imo
bgillesp 03.07.18	Still going around to albums from the FEB list but this one will probably make my cut for this month
neekafat 03.07.18	Yassssss lemme know when you get to Dixie Chicks!
bgillesp 03.07.18	Should within the week!
Skoop 03.07.18	Plunger Unfortunately I gotta agree about the vocals, really underwhelming compared to the rest. 3.3 Signal To Noise This rules, stays on the right side of being over the top while also sounding grand and triumphant. 4.4
bgillesp 03.08.18	Giant update bump. Also, I'm gonna offer up a 1 week "amnesty" period for anyone who wants to catch up on song listening but doesn't want to recalculate averages (Looking at you Papi). Of course you are still free to give me updated averages, but over the next few days, if you'll just participate, I'll do it for you if necessary.
bgillesp 03.08.18	A slow slow death: 4.1 Really great track and I really enjoyed the splashes of horns
neekafat 03.08.18	Just updated the Feb list with the ranked track ratings!
JustJoe. 03.08.18	* Los Campesinos! -- "A Slow, Slow Death" ~ [4.2]
neekafat 03.08.18	Oh yeah A Slow Slow Death: 3.9 Really fun straightforward pop rock, liked this about as much as I did when I jammed it for my cram list
Drifter 03.08.18	It would be so great if I was the only one who got a flat out 1.0
BlazinBlitzer 03.08.18	Los Campesinos! - "A Slow, Slow Death": I really don't care for the way this song strips back all of the mystery of the ending by showing everything 2 minutes in, but RadicalEd is absolutely right when he says that it sounds like a 2007 track. That vibe is strong here, and it compliments the melodies and production very well. 3.5/5
Aberf 03.08.18	Catch up time!! R. Kelly - "Down Low" This is better than the last time I heard a track from R. Kelly. Still far from being my thing. 2.0 25.9/9=2.88 Arc Iris - "Kaleidoscope" My god, this is some good stuffs. 4.5 37.3/9=4.14 Umphrey's McGee - "Plunger" Ugh, what is this. 2.1 23.0/7=3.29 Peter Gabriel - "Signal to Noise" Sounds like an epic soundtrack. 4.0 27.2/7 = 3.89 Los Campesinos! -"A Slow, Slow Death" I don't have anything good to say about this track, aside that the cool horns and.. nothing really. 3.0
BlazinBlitzer 03.08.18	1. Thanks for stealing my "catch up time!" phrase from last month (hehe). 2. My track did much worse than I expected it to lol, but I guess a 3.29 average isn't that bad.
Skoop 03.08.18	A slow, slow death Decent melodies and instrumentals but honestly one of their lesser engaging tracks. 3.4
bgillesp 03.09.18	Nightly update bump
JustJoe. 03.09.18	* The Clientele -- "Reflections After Jane" ~ [4.1]
BlazinBlitzer 03.09.18	The Clientele - "Reflections After Jane": It is indeed sweet and lovely, but past that idk. It just feels like it doesn't go anywhere when it needs to. 3.0/5
Egarran 03.09.18	A slow, slow death Seems perfectly mediocre. 2.5 Reflections After Jane Really like that sound, but like blazin said, nothing much happens. 3.0
bgillesp 03.09.18	Reflections after Jane- 2.6 Super boring song, though nothing much else wrong
bgillesp 03.10.18	Will update tomorrow
BlazinBlitzer 03.10.18	Dj Rum - “Undercoat”: It’s a bit on the longer side for me and the ending’s kinda weak, but this song kicks some tush. It’s dark, mysterious, and subtle in very pleasant soundscapes. 3.8/5
ArsMoriendi 03.10.18	Catching up! :P "A Slow, Slow Death" The trumpets keep this from being completely forgettable. 2.8/5 "Reflections After Jane" Well mixed bass, decent vocals. I could chill to this 3.8/5 "Undercoat" I feel like I don't have the ability to judge this song properly with my taste, so I'll slap a 3.5/5 on it because the string samples used early on are neat.
bgillesp 03.11.18	Updated. Ill add my vote for todays song in about an hour probably and anyone else's who get in between now and then
Egarran 03.11.18	Undercoat Dudes, I know beggars can't be choosers, but I'm here to discover new and exciting music. 2.0
bgillesp 03.11.18	@Eg, you might enjoy the first few track if you want to go back and give them a try Undercoat: 3.4 Was enjoyable, but I don't really know much about how to take this. Ritual Pt. II: 4.0 Sweet jazz piece that isn't too out there, but still has some of those moments for good measure
JustJoe. 03.11.18	* Fire! Orchestra -- "Ritual Pt. 2" ~ [3.9]
Egarran 03.11.18	"@Eg, you might enjoy the first few tracks" True, Is It Because I'm Black was a nice surprise. 4.0
ArsMoriendi 03.11.18	"Ritual Pt. 2" Took 2 minutes to do anything interesting and once it did get interested it seemed like it was trying too hard to be revolutionary. I respect the experimental effort,but this didn't do much for me. 3/5
bgillesp 03.12.18	Update for the night. Also, Eg, can you rec a track since the month isn't full yet?
Dewinged 03.12.18	Jesus I am so far behind, I will catch up and provide avg. updates to copy/paste
bgillesp 03.12.18	Preciate it! If you could keep the same format I've been using for the avgs too that'd be great. Also, I'm still in my amnesty grace period week for yall (aka my spring break) so if you don't have time, just get me the ratings
Drifter 03.12.18	Dewi give me a juicy 3.5+
BlazinBlitzer 03.12.18	Fire Orchestra - "Ritual Pt. 2": All the pieces were there to make an absolutely awesome track, but the result was honestly mediocre and kinda boring. I do feel like other areas of this album would tickle my fancy, however, I'm not letting my hopes down if I ever decide to come around to it. 3.2/5
BlazinBlitzer 03.12.18	Red - "Singularity": Everything about the track itself is passable, but all they had to do was rip off Muse and they still weren't sure where the hell they were going thematically. 2.7/5
neekafat 03.12.18	"Reflections After Jane": Yeah this is super lovely and I was just waiting for it to really kick in but it never did... :c - 3.7/5 "Undercoat": That was pretty cool I guess, something I could just chill out to and dig, but nothing particularly arresting to me - 3.3/5 "Ritual Pt. 2": Man those opening horns sounded wayyyy too much like that shitty song on Sufjan's debut. You know the one I mean. On one hand I thought this was really rad, but the vocals did not mesh well at all with me and half the time I thought the song was kinda annoying. So idk, I guess a 3.1?
neekafat 03.12.18	"Singularity": This was like... way better than BvB - 4.2/5
Metalrain 03.12.18	Someday I will actually listen to each song each day. But today is not that day, so catching up it is. Kaleidoscope: This is really awesome, even if the vocals are not my style. 4.6 (41.9/10 = 4.19) Plunger: Can get out of focus, but still fun. 3.0 (26/6 = 3.25) Signal to Noise: Huge sounding song, but doesn't hit me personally. 3.3 (30.5/8 = 3.81) A Slow, Slow Death: Solid indie rock, but doesn't do much else. 3.0 (30.4/9 = 3.37) Reflections After Jane: Chill song. 3.5 (20/6 = 3.33) Undercoat: Can be good, but most of it is kinda boring. 3.2 I'll do the rest tomorrow
Egarran 03.12.18	My rec is Ulige Numre - København Indie rock. This was such a hit in Denmark, and I wonder if it also works for normal people. https://youtu.be/vSaUWDOexXU
JustJoe. 03.12.18	* RED -- "Singularity" ~ [3.2]
bgillesp 03.13.18	Singularity- 2.2 Boring. Nothing happened and it was generic. Update comin in 10 minutes
bgillesp 03.13.18	Holy crap that is so freaking annoying. Someone changed the band name of Red to Red (USA) as I updated it and it fell off the list adding like 20 minutes of work to this. And I don't even remember if that was the right quote I gave it for Snide
bgillesp 03.13.18	Well Jom did it so I guess I can't be too mad but still was frustrating
BlazinBlitzer 03.13.18	It's the right quote.
JustJoe. 03.13.18	* Long Tosite Sigure -- "Ten to Ten" ~ [4.0]
bgillesp 03.13.18	Ten to Ten- 3.9 Cool but a little whiny sounding
BlazinBlitzer 03.13.18	Ling Tosite Sigure - "Ten to Ten": I agree with the whiny and fairly annoying vocals, but I love the "we don't care what you think" attitude of this song, particularly with the jarring guitar solo. 3.8/5
neekafat 03.13.18	"Ten to Ten": Yeah the vocals weren't great and the song wasn't particularly good until the latter half, but that latter half was pretty juicy - 3.4
Drifter 03.13.18	We're running out of days my dear niglets
neekafat 03.13.18	Imagine Drifter actually participating
Drifter 03.13.18	I do the first song every month. Is that not good enough for you?!
neekafat 03.13.18	Technically I'm not running it this month, so the real question is, is it good enough for bgill??
JustJoe. 03.13.18	GUYS PLEASE DON'T FIGHT I HATE IT WHEN YOU GUYS FIGHT.
neekafat 03.13.18	SHUT UP UNLESS YOU WANT SOME TOO LITTLE JOEY
JustJoe. 03.13.18	😯
Papa Universe 03.13.18	R. Kelly - Down Low (Nobody Has To Know): 2 Arc Iris - Kaleidoscope: 4.5 Umphrey's McGee - Plunger: 2.5 Peter Gabriel - Signal to Noise: 3 Los Campesinos! - A Slow, Slow Death: 3.5 The Clientele - Reflections After Jane: 3 DjRum - Undercoat: 3 Fire! Orchestra - Ritual Pt. 2: 3.5 Red - Singularity: 4 Ling Tosite Sigure - Ten to Ten: 4
Papa Universe 03.13.18	suddenly
neekafat 03.13.18	HE HATH RETURN-ED
Papa Universe 03.13.18	I could not stand to watch you children fight needlessly over meaningless causes, so I broke through the ban.
DinosaurJones 03.13.18	I plan on catching up, I've just been super busy at work and getting ready to move.
neekafat 03.13.18	What did you even do this time
bgillesp 03.13.18	Papi!!!
BlazinBlitzer 03.13.18	"Datarock - "Laugh in the Face of Darkness": It's alright, but the vocals are ear-bleedingly bad and I couldn't tell whether it was the singer or the vocal production. Then I realized it was both. It's a shame, too, because I was thinking that there was a little bit of subtle satire and self-awareness occurring in the songwriting, so the concept was there. However, much of a track's quality is execution, and that was not too well done, I'm afraid. 2.6/5" "Umphrey's McGee - Plunger: 2.5" An eye for an eye, I see?
Papa Universe 03.13.18	more like an eye with a little more of the optic nerve for an eye
BlazinBlitzer 03.13.18	Hey now, this isn’t a website for judging eyesight. We judge by the music to our ears, not our eyes.
Papa Universe 03.13.18	...ear for ear?
Drifter 03.13.18	Tfw you pick a song for dad and he still gives it a low score
Papa Universe 03.13.18	you picked R. Kelly for me? you are not my son
BlazinBlitzer 03.13.18	“...eat for ear?” Sure!
Papa Universe 03.13.18	eat?
BlazinBlitzer 03.13.18	Lmao I rushed it because I had to drive somewhere when I posted it.
ArsMoriendi 03.13.18	"Singularity" Inoffensively boring. Such a 2.5/5 that 2.4 and 2.6 wouldn't suffice. "Ten to Ten" So whiny ugh. How do you guys stand these vocals? This brand of post hardcore is just not my thing. 2.3/5
Egarran 03.14.18	Ars is now my representative ITT
Papa Universe 03.14.18	Luna Sea - Rosier rating: Just an all around generic rock song. Even the usual automatic weirdness of anything Japanese doesn't save this from being a drab bore. 2
Metalrain 03.14.18	Ritual pt2: Was never really the biggest fan of Jazz, but this is kinda good. The experimentation does hold it back for me in some places. 3.0 Singularity: An average muse inspired track, not much else. 2.8 Ten to Ten: Great track with whiny vocals. 3.2
JustJoe. 03.14.18	* Luna Sea -- "Rosier" ~ [3.7]
bgillesp 03.14.18	Massive update bump
bgillesp 03.14.18	Yall need to recruit some friends to fill out the days of this thing
Papa Universe 03.14.18	yes, that... or you can allow repeated recs...
bgillesp 03.14.18	I will if we get down to the wire. Gonna shout butch to get a rec from him and Compost though and maybe we can only repeat 4-5
bgillesp 03.14.18	Also, "* Luna Sea -- "Rosier" ~ [3.7]" [2]
neekafat 03.14.18	Try hitting up people who rec'd on previous months my dude
bgillesp 03.14.18	Sorry Papi but a real song would be appreciated
bgillesp 03.14.18	You haven't cleared your shoutbox
bgillesp 03.14.18	Just gimme a real song you
bgillesp 03.14.18	Thanks Eu
ArsMoriendi 03.14.18	“Rosier” Pretty good, nothing that stands out too much though. 3.2/5
BlazinBlitzer 03.14.18	Luna Sea - "Rosier": I really liked the ending but the rest of it was pretty cookie-cutter material. 3.3/5
butcherboy 03.14.18	The Gun Club - She's like Heroin to me, off the album Fire of Love.. a fantastic rave-up tune in the style known as cowpunk.. all class.. 5/5
JustJoe. 03.15.18	* Fela Kuti -- "Zombie" ~ [4.2]
ArsMoriendi 03.15.18	:P
bgillesp 03.16.18	Zombie: 3.4 I really wanted to like this, and I did mostly, but I had a couple issues with it. I didn't think the length was justified with enough interesting ideas, but my major gripe is that the chorus chanting the word "zombie" really distracted from the song for me. The were too up front in the mix, and (although I'm sure this was intentional and is a valid choice, I am not a fan) they refused to stay on beat, rushing the second syllable most of the time, which drove me nuts.
bgillesp 03.16.18	Also nightly update bump
BlazinBlitzer 03.16.18	Fela Kuti - "Zombie": It was mostly good, especially the absolutely awesome beginning, but the last three minutes is an uncommitted mess that could've been so much better. 3.7/5
ZombieToyDuck 03.16.18	psssst check my rec today
JustJoe. 03.16.18	* G. Yamazawa -- "One Crown" ~ [3.6]
BlazinBlitzer 03.16.18	G. Yamazawa - "One Crown": It's relaxing, jazzy hip-hop with surprisingly good vocals and bars. The production is really standard, though, and I was hoping for that the alliterated lines were a little more alliterated, you know what I mean? 3.5/5
ZombieToyDuck 03.16.18	solid boys glad you guys enjoyed
ZombieToyDuck 03.16.18	definitely check the album blitzer there may be some surprises in there you'll enjoy more
bgillesp 03.16.18	One crown- 3.1 Some good verses but a little too monotone for me. Not a lot to say about it really
Papa Universe 03.16.18	Fela Kuti - Zombie: 3 G. Yamazawa - One Crown: 3
ArsMoriendi 03.16.18	Fun fact: the song "Zombie" pissed off the Nigerian government so much that they tried to murder Fela Kuti and when they couldn't, they murdered his mother instead
Papa Universe 03.16.18	Man, that's one vain government.
BlazinBlitzer 03.17.18	Damn, that's horrible.
bgillesp 03.17.18	Well that's just messed up. Update coming later tonight. Just finished up at my track meet
bgillesp 03.17.18	Update w/ bump for the night
BlazinBlitzer 03.17.18	Jellyfish - "New Mistake": Yeah, I like this. I like this a lot. 4.1/5
Papa Universe 03.17.18	Jellyfish - New Mistake rating: On one hand, I like the gleeful, cheerful, jolly(fish) approach and the lyrics are smart and witty, but the song-writing just doesn't do much to me. Still, the niceness of it all gets to me. 3.5
JustJoe. 03.17.18	* Jellyfish -- "New Mistake" ~ [3.7]
BlazinBlitzer 03.18.18	Moe Bandz - "The Message": It's sach-core. Need I say more? Not if the track Is a total bore. 2.3/5
JustJoe. 03.18.18	* Moe Bandy -- "The Message" ~ [3.0]
bgillesp 03.18.18	I'll get back on this in a sec. I'll open up to repeat recs tomorrow if y'all can't get friends in here. Priority goes to regular participants for repeat recs (and neek if he wants one)
bgillesp 03.18.18	4.0- New Mistake 3.1- The Message
JustJoe. 03.19.18	* Ulysses Siren -- "København" ~ [3.9]
bgillesp 03.19.18	Sorry, gonna update tonight since I couldn't during the crash
BlazinBlitzer 03.19.18	Ulysses Siren - "København": If Manchester Orchestra were Danish, this would be their great-tier material. The horns on this made a much larger impact than I expected. 4.1/5
Papa Universe 03.19.18	We're running out of slots.
bgillesp 03.19.18	I said I was open to repeat recs. neek gets priority, then Joe, Blitzer, you, and me.
JustJoe. 03.19.18	Bet. Just let me know.
bgillesp 03.19.18	Go ahead, we need lots of days.
bgillesp 03.19.18	I'll update tonight I promise
JustJoe. 03.19.18	* Azeda Booth -- "Lobster Quadrille" ~ [glitch pop] https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GnrPZxuv8Og
bgillesp 03.20.18	Another update in. Gonna rate todays song in a sec
JustJoe. 03.20.18	😏
bgillesp 03.20.18	Sup bud?
JustJoe. 03.20.18	Absolutely loving that write-up! You've captured my personality perfectly.
bgillesp 03.20.18	Was expecting more riffs and m/ from today's song because of the band I used as its placeholder, forgot to read the genre. Anyways "København"- 3.7
bgillesp 03.20.18	Glad to hear bud (:
bgillesp 03.20.18	I accidentally claimed your rec Joe but I fixed it
neekafat 03.20.18	Goddamn I'm behind, sorry guys another film shoot
JustJoe. 03.20.18	All is well!
neekafat 03.20.18	Will catch up after jamming this RX Bandits album one final time (:
neekafat 03.20.18	"Rosier": 3.0 If this is J-rock summarized in one song, I won't like J-rock very much - "Zombie": 3.7 A little overlong and overblown, but based on the subject matter I can't the song can't really be faulted at all. Might just jam the whole album considering there's only one more song after this
neekafat 03.20.18	"One Crown Left": 3.3 Pretty straightforward/boring rapping and choruses, but those horns are pretty delicious I must admit - "New Mistake": 3.9 Yeah this is really damn good, I guess if there was one problem is that yes, it sounds like it could've come from the 70s and therefore doesn't have much of a unique vibe, as fun as it is - "The Message": 2.4 Yeah nah - " København": 4.1 Yeah whatever that was it was super nice - 14. AVG: 18.9/6=3.15 (6 votes) 15. AVG: 18/5=3.6 (5 votes) 16. AVG: 16.5/5=3.30 (5 votes) 17. AVG: 19.2/5=3.84 (5 votes) 18. AVG: 10.8/4=2.70 (4 votes) 19. AVG: 15.8/3=3.95 (4 votes)
neekafat 03.20.18	Typhoon's "Empiricist" [alt-rock/folk] Honestly my favorite song of the year so far, just a gorgeous and epic track both musically and emotionally https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgF8Iou04DQ
Papa Universe 03.20.18	And Also the Trees - Bloodline https://youtube.com/watch?v=qKPzWFxpeZ4 Let's just get enchanted.
JustJoe. 03.20.18	* Ocean Jet -- "Into The Storm" ~ [3.4]
Metalrain 03.20.18	Zombie: Powerfull protest song, love most of it. 3.7 21.7/6 = 3.61(6 votes) One Crown: Nice song, but that's about it. 3.3 19.8/6 = 3.3(6 votes) New Mistake: This track is just so much fun, everything works together so well. 4.3 23.5/6 = 3.91(6 votes) The Message: Yeah nah[2] 2.2 13/5 = 2.6(5 votes) København: What a wonderfull song, the production is great on this one. 4.0 19.8/5 = 3.96(5 votes) Into The Storm: I'm kinda tired of the anthemic rock song that is everywhere these days, but this isn't half bad. 3.3
Papa Universe 03.20.18	Moe Bandz - The Message: 2 15/6 = 2.5 (6 votes) Ulige Numre - København: 4 23.8/6 = 3.96 (6 votes)
Egarran 03.20.18	Luna Sea - Mother: I had a flatmate who was a total weeaboo and claimed to love this band a lot. But it's not very interesting. 2.9 Fela Kuti - Zombie no go stop unless you tell him to stop: 3.7 Jellyfish - Spilt Milk: They try, but never evoke that 70s spirit. 2.6 Ocean Jet - At 1:30 I wanted to kill somebody, and not in the good way. 1.6
BlazinBlitzer 03.20.18	Ocean Jet - "Into the Storm": I literally have nothing to say about it. 3.0/5
bgillesp 03.20.18	Into the storm- Radio Rock done well enough to make a serious hit single, but outside of its intended audience there isn't much else to hold out. Still good nonetheless, 3.6
bgillesp 03.20.18	Oh goodness lots of updating to do. Eg, Metalrain, Blitzer, any more song recs from y'all?
BlazinBlitzer 03.20.18	Oceansize - "Trail of Fire" [prog rock] One of my favorite tracks, full stop. Every band member shines and this sets a benchmark for how stellar production can make a song so powerful and colorful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PpLPx6XvIk
bgillesp 03.21.18	Okay, its all in.
bgillesp 03.21.18	I feel like these next 5 are gonna be on a roll for some high ratings from me. I already know empiricist is a 4.9/5 for me
BlazinBlitzer 03.21.18	You used Egarran's vote twice on "Into the Storm".
bgillesp 03.21.18	Will fix thank you
Dewinged 03.21.18	One more week n i will have to jam the whole month in one shot haha
neekafat 03.21.18	"Into the Storm": 3.6 pretty solid Papa Universe-core
BlazinBlitzer 03.21.18	But it can't be Papa Uni-core if it's not post punk.
Skoop 03.21.18	Time to play catch-up
ArsMoriendi 03.21.18	Time to play catch up! :D
neekafat 03.21.18	It's close enough
ArsMoriendi 03.21.18	"One Crown" = Eh... this is okay. Very modern I guess. 2.6/5 "New Mistake" = Catchy stuff actually! Poppy strings are always welcome. 3.9/5 "The Message" = "I'm an animal, you a fuckin' pet" Pets ARE animals. if you're going to diss someone, at least make sense....:/ The piano sample was a nice distraction from the rest of it though. 1.8/5 "København" = Kind of forgettable if I'm being honest. 2.5/5 "Into the Storm" = God dammit, what is this Imagine Dragons? Somehow worse than Sach's choice. 1.5/5
ArsMoriendi 03.21.18	I feel like I'm so harsh on these picks... :(
BlazinBlitzer 03.21.18	I wholeheartedly agree with that line from "The Message"; I thought the exact same thing lol.
Skoop 03.21.18	Mountains I enjoy the little touches of strings and it has a decent atmosphere I suppose but overall its just not really my thing sorry bro. 2.9 Ritual Pt. 2 I’ve heard some material from this group before and this carries over the chaotic vibrancy that I enjoy from their sound. Solid stuff for sure. 4.0 Singularity Used to jam this group back in the day but honestly my expectations for this were pretty low. The track however makes good use of progression and has a degree of subtlety to it which is pretty rare for them. It definitely is a bit melodramatic though. 3.4 Ten to Ten First time hearing this group despite the hype I’ve heard over them. Unfortunately the same thing that derails Glassjaw for me derails this as well. The vocals are just a big no-no which is a shame because the instrumentals are certainly competent. 2.4 I’ll calc avg in a sec

Skoop 03.21.18	Rosier This was better, it’s energy is tough to resist. Still doesn’t blow me away but its passable. 3.1 24.9/8=3.11 Zombie I love the way in which this builds with an unsettling tone in the Afrobeat style I’ve begun to really love. I don’t think the length is entirely justified but nor do I feel that it detracts in any way. Very impressive track that is without a doubt enhanced by the context. 4.4 29.8/8=3.72 One Crown The sax is nice for sure but the flow doesn’t seem impressive at all to me. Would of just preferred the instrumental truth be told. 2.8 New Mistake It’s a nice track for sure. A solid mix of 90s rock and a bit of a retro surfy vibe. A timeless sounding track that is unfortunately a bit unmemorable to me as well. 3.7 The Message You know I quite dig the beat. Sure the “message” is a bit cringey but I really don’t hate this. 3.0 Kobenhavn This was great! Certainly on the inoffensive side of things but it had a degree of sincerity to it which may have been aided truth be told by fact that I don’t know what the words are. Irregardless the melody is pleasant and the structure is solid as well. 3.9 Into The Storm Wowzers this it’s been a long time since I’ve deplored a song this much on first listen. I was kinda stoked for a bandcamp track as well. 1.4
Skoop 03.21.18	I do have another rec if you need to fill days as well
Metalrain 03.21.18	I'll only rec if it's really needed, already got like 4 recs from previous months
bgillesp 03.21.18	As you can clearly see, we need six more days filled, so if you three (Metalrain, snoopy, Ars) could provide another that would be appreciated. Also you too Dewi
Papa Universe 03.21.18	How are there so many people on this website, but only a few are willing to listen to just one bloody song a day.
bgillesp 03.21.18	She's Like Heroin to Me- 4.2 Bloody fun cut @Papi, people are afraid of commitment. Also other people probably have busier/less regular lives
Metalrain 03.21.18	Then here is my rec: Kenn Nardi: A Little Light https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o8kd4eNt_k Lead singer of Prog/Thrash band Anacrusis coming back with an amazing album, this being my favorite off the album. Progressive music done right.
bgillesp 03.21.18	I'll update again tonight. Everyone always posts right after I update haha
Egarran 03.21.18	"I feel like I'm so harsh on these picks... :(" Please don't. We secretly like being abused. My next rec is cheating since it's the best song in the world and has the best lyrics. Must be played loud af when you're stoned af. The Bug - Skeng (dubstep/grime): https://youtu.be/MfP20D_V0Zg THEN THEN THEN
JustJoe. 03.21.18	* The Gun Club -- "She's Like Heroin To Me" ~ [3.8]
Papa Universe 03.21.18	The Gun Club - She's like heroin to me Still a damn rockin' tune from a hella rockin' album. 4.5
BlazinBlitzer 03.21.18	The Gun Club - "She's Like Heroin to Me": It's fun and all, but I'm a little disappointed that I didn't hear any actual cows on it. 3.8/5
Skoop 03.21.18	Here you go then Elephant Stone-A Silent Moment Psych rock that incorporates Arabic influence without feeling overzealous or gimmicky. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB05GCNPQmg
ArsMoriendi 03.21.18	"She's Like Heroin To Me" Finally, something great. 4.3/5
Skoop 03.21.18	She's Like Heroin To Me Yeah this is a jam and a half, I'll have to check out this group's catalogue for sure. 4.4
Metalrain 03.21.18	She's Like Heroin To Me: What a fun song. 4.0
bgillesp 03.22.18	Updating tomorrow, I need some sleep
BlazinBlitzer 03.22.18	Azeda Booth - "Lobster Quadrille": It gets absolutely gorgeous, but only after around three and a half minutes of initially cool meandering. It reminds a lot of that Wildhart track from last month, so I'll give this the same score I gave that one. 3.4/5
neekafat 03.22.18	Might try picking this back up next month, unless someone else was curious to take the reins
Papa Universe 03.22.18	I might try them saddles.
BlazinBlitzer 03.22.18	I might try the horse.
bgillesp 03.22.18	Eating horses is bad. You two can fight for rights to be list manager
BlazinBlitzer 03.22.18	Oh I wasn't referring to eating them.
Papa Universe 03.22.18	I was, but since a manager position is of avail, I shall throw my hat into the ring.
BlazinBlitzer 03.22.18	Imma take my hat out of the ring and leave you to it, thank you very much.
bgillesp 03.22.18	Papi takes April if neeka doesn't want it then. Settled.
Papa Universe 03.22.18	Aight. Can we maybe switch places from month to month?
bgillesp 03.22.18	Ars, another rec please? Also Dewi, get in here and gimme another rec too.
bgillesp 03.22.18	Lobster quadrille- 3.9 cuz it was real nice but ended kinda wierd
Kompys2000 03.22.18	Lol @ me thinking I was gonna keep up this month Those of y'all who dug New Mistake, definitely check out the rest of that album, it's so goooood Anyway, Lobster Quadrille is a 3.5, I like how it balances the incredibly busy percussion with a very chill, ethereal vibe but I'm not completely sold on the vox and it's a tad overlong. That album art shore is purdy, though.
Papa Universe 03.22.18	Azeda Booth - Lobster Quadrille: 3 AVG: 13.8/4= 3.45 (4 votes)
ArsMoriendi 03.22.18	"Lobster Quadrille" Pretty decent 3.3/5
bgillesp 03.23.18	Prec Papi
JustJoe. 03.23.18	You forgot Kompy's vote, bgill.
JustJoe. 03.23.18	* Typhoon -- "Empiricist" ~ [4.2]
BlazinBlitzer 03.23.18	Typhoon - "Empiricist": Oh boy, there's a lot to unpack here. First off, I really enjoyed this record and I think it makes a worthy representative for January 2018's music. However, "Empiricist" was far from a highlight for me at the time. It meandered a lot compared to the previous tracks and it's placement on the album felt extremely awkward. My opinion on "Empiricist" has changed since then. Although I still think the ending is a bit of a mess and the vocals are fairly underwhelming, there's an impressive amount of great factors that the listener has to dig pretty deep into to fully understand. The greatest of those factors is song's beautiful compliance between the songwriting and totally depressing lyrics.
BlazinBlitzer 03.23.18	However, "Ariadne" > this. 4.0/5
JustJoe. 03.23.18	"Ariadne" by Kedr Livanskiy? I LOVE THAT TRACK. Ignore me, I'm being obnoxious.
ArsMoriendi 03.23.18	"Empiricist" Very indie 3.5/5
Egarran 03.23.18	"She's like Heroin to Me." 3.0 "Lobster Quadrille." Too long, but points for originality. 3.5 "Empiricist." Argh that melody reminds me of a hit from the 80s but I can't. Good song. 4.0
Papa Universe 03.23.18	Typhoon - Empiricist I am more or less on the fence with this entire album still. I will keep my over all 4 ranking, but I rate it as a full experience. Taken out of the full album's context, Offerings' songs are rather glib, unfortunately. And it is no different for this overlong piece. A nice instrumentation and an overall pleasant atmosphere did drab the song out of the muddy waters, but it still works better with all the other cuts supporting it. 3.5
BlazinBlitzer 03.23.18	"Taken out of the full album's context, Offerings' songs are rather glib, unfortunately." That's the perfect way to put it.
bgillesp 03.24.18	Ariadne is top 3 typhoon songs and is perfect
bgillesp 03.24.18	Bumpety
BlazinBlitzer 03.24.18	Oh, definitely. One of the best January tracks for sure.
neekafat 03.24.18	Ariadne is great and all but come on guys Empiricist is like a microcosm of every feeling we go through in our whole lives Man that sounded pretentious
JustJoe. 03.24.18	* And Also The Trees -- "Bloodline" ~ [4.1]
BlazinBlitzer 03.24.18	I read that as "That man sounded pretentious." at first and I was like "U wot m8?"
BlazinBlitzer 03.24.18	And Also the Trees - "Bloodline": I will admit that this is indeed cool and enchanting, but the chorus could've seriously used an emphasized "umph" to it. The production keeps at a calm and reserved mix throughout the entire track, but I wanted it to step out of its comfort zone at least a couple times here. Eh, it's still an instrumental and lyrical treat anyways. 3.6/5
bgillesp 03.24.18	Empiricist is 5th best song on the album. I'm not knocking it, gave it a 4.9, but there's some more perfect ones on there to me.
bgillesp 03.25.18	Gonna have to flake again tonight due to plans. Updates shall come in the morning or maybe tonight after, who knows
bgillesp 03.25.18	Ya, def not updating tonight. Fresh off a belated 21st celebration.
neekafat 03.25.18	Oh enjoy!
bgillesp 03.25.18	I did (:
JustJoe. 03.25.18	* Oceansize -- "Trail of Fire" ~ [4.3]
JustJoe. 03.25.18	Also, happy belated birthday, dude!
BlazinBlitzer 03.25.18	[2]
ArsMoriendi 03.26.18	"Bloodline" Safe choice. Inoffensive and could work for a soundtrack. 3.2/5 "Trail of Fire" Not feeling it. Very spacey, but too long. 2.5/5
Papa Universe 03.26.18	you're inoffensive and could work for a soundtrack
Papa Universe 03.26.18	also, my ratings: Oceansize - Trail of Fire: I quite like the instrumentation overall, but it is just another one of those overlong, boring prog snoozefests. 2 Kenn Nardi - A Little Light: A little left-field, but still an intriguing enough tune. Surprisingly liked the vocals, even though they subjectively leave a lot to be desired. 4
bgillesp 03.26.18	Update will come tonight. Gimme an hour or so
Papa Universe 03.26.18	Take all the time you need, there's like 4 people following this now anyway.
JustJoe. 03.26.18	* Kenn Nardi -- "A Little Light" ~ [3.5]
bgillesp 03.26.18	Updated. I'll add mine in a sec and do averages. I know nobody is following it, but comments might help people get back on it
JustJoe. 03.26.18	* The Bug -- "Skeng" ~ [3.7]
ArsMoriendi 03.26.18	Is JustJoe from Australia or something. It's still the 26th in most of the world. :o
JustJoe. 03.26.18	Oh snap I just realized that, sorry! I've been so sleepy lately, not sure what day it is sometimes (clearly).
ArsMoriendi 03.26.18	"A Little Light" It feels like I've heard this song a billion times before, but I know I've never heard it once until today. 2.5/5
BlazinBlitzer 03.26.18	Kenn Nardi - "A Little Light": It's so hard to tell if the production is being genuine to the genre or just flat. I'm going with both. Also, comment #420! 3.2/5
Egarran 03.26.18	Damn, 420 should have been Skeng. Oh well, next month.
bgillesp 03.27.18	Bump
Skoop 03.27.18	Lobster Quadrille I enjoyed what was going on in the first half but the transition didn't quite work for me. Still enjoyable. 3.6 24.2/7=3.45 Empiricist One of the best from this unfortunately bloated album. 4 28.1/7=4.01 Bloodline Has such an infectiously restrained atmosphere initially that the chorus just doesn't feel as natural as I would like. 3.4 Trail of Fire Nothing about this is exciting to me. It's not objectively bad or poorly performed, it's just not my thing. 2.4 A Little Light Good grief, you can just about insert my take on the last track. 2.3
Skoop 03.27.18	Skeng Beat is great and the flow holds up. 3.9
ArsMoriendi 03.27.18	"Skeng" This is fine. 3.1/5
BlazinBlitzer 03.27.18	The Bug - "Skeng": It doesn't take long at all to lose its charm. I wish the rest of the song was like the first verse. 2.7/5
bgillesp 03.28.18	Skeng- 4.5, this is some top tier stuff
BlazinBlitzer 03.28.18	Elephant Stone - "A Silent Moment": Yeah, this is actually pretty sweet. It's the good half of the 90's if I've ever heard anything like it and I really like the track's bold, yet smooth ambitions. I didn't care for a couple of things here, though. First, the vocals that kick off the second half feel hilariously out of place and overprocessed until the rest of the instruments come in. Also, I wished there was a little more foreign influence other than that found in the vocals and percussion. An Arabic-sounding guitar or keyboard would've sounded great here. However, I still like what I got. 3.7/5
neekafat 03.28.18	Oh shit I have to get on this
JustJoe. 03.28.18	* Elephant Stone -- "A Silent Moment" ~ [4.0]
Papa Universe 03.28.18	The Bug - Skeng: 2.5 Elephant Stone - A Silent Moment: 3
Papa Universe 03.28.18	we have nothing for tomorrow
BlazinBlitzer 03.28.18	I was waiting for bgillesp to give us permission to fill the rest of the month up.
Papa Universe 03.28.18	If the slots are open for moi, then here ya go, bub: Leonard Cohen - Suzanne (from Songs of Leonard Cohen) Y'know, nothing much, nothing too pompous, just merely purely simply one of the BEST SONGS EVER RECORDED... a little classic never hurt anybody. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svitEEpI07E
JustJoe. 03.28.18	I got one more in me as well.
Papa Universe 03.28.18	I got it all planned out till December
JustJoe. 03.28.18	I wish I had that sort of structure in my life.
Papa Universe 03.28.18	Oh it's not me, trust me.
Papa Universe 03.28.18	It's my Aspergers, presumably.
bgillesp 03.28.18	Everybody hit me with one more rec. Ill take them randomly to fill the month.
BlazinBlitzer 03.28.18	JustJoe is my new best friend. Both of his highest rated tracks this month were from me, so he knows what's up.
BlazinBlitzer 03.28.18	Animal Collective - "What Would I Want? Sky" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxqPBoDts34 This is definitely the best psychedelic pop piece I've ever heard and it's got that smooth 7/8 rhythm going for it.
bgillesp 03.28.18	Updated, will add remaining songs by the end of the day
JustJoe. 03.28.18	Cool, if mine don't get picked, I'll re-rec it under The Unique Regime next month. * Boards of Canada -- "Left Side Drive" ~ [idm] https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A2kZRNnNDHY
BlazinBlitzer 03.28.18	I need to get into Boards of Canada one day.
JustJoe. 03.28.18	Hell yeah, Blitzer! Also, "Fall Be Kind". m/
JustJoe. 03.28.18	I'm a Boards of Canada fanatic. I'm not sure if that song is the best or worst introduction to their sound. I guess we'll see/hear soon enough.
BlazinBlitzer 03.28.18	I'm still gonna listen to Geogaddi and Music Has... eventually, so no pressure!
JustJoe. 03.28.18	I changed it to another song. It's a little more fitting, but words still apply. Also, gilly. My rating for "skeng" is a few comments up & unintentionally early. I accidentally posted it too soon because I don't always remember what day/year it is.
bgillesp 03.28.18	Fixed. I really hope Papi doesn't get another heart attack from running this thing in April
bgillesp 03.28.18	A Silent Moment- 3.4, not too bad but not that interesting either
JustJoe. 03.28.18	I'll get choked up if that happens.
Egarran 03.28.18	Bloodline: Nice, but was left a little bored. 3.1 A Little Light: Not a fan of the vocals and synths. 2.8 Trail of Fire: This eventually gets pretty good. 3.8 A Silent Moment: Sweet background music. 3.8
ArsMoriendi 03.29.18	"A Silent Moment" Arabic influence? This is Indian influence lol. Those are tablas and sitar 3.5/5 for the song, but I'm still disapointed in skoopy
Skoop 03.29.18	Whatever man I went to Canada once I think. I'm just naive little college lad let me exist in my blissful reality detatched from proper classifications.
bgillesp 03.29.18	This nightly updates plan of mine really fell apart huh. Anyway there's a song for tomorrow but I'll update the rest later
JustJoe. 03.29.18	The song is from their "Trans Canada Highway" EP & that's my favorite bgill write-up of the month. 😁
BlazinBlitzer 03.29.18	Boards of Canada - "Left Side Drive": Left Side Drive Lef Sid Driv Le Si Dri L S Dr L S D Pretty much that. It's good stuff, but I kinda wish more happened. 3.4/5
ArsMoriendi 03.29.18	"Left Side Drive" This is pretty cool, but I've heard far more interesting song by them. 3.6/5
neekafat 03.30.18	“She’s Like Heroin to Me”: 3.1 Yeah this is alright but it’s repetitive as shit… I’m just in a bad mood sorry. AVG: 35.1/9=3.90 (9 votes) “Lobster Quadrille”: 3.5 This was super nice when it was actually music and not rattly noises. AVG: 27.7/8=3.46 (8 votes) “Bloodline”: 4.3 That was just fucking excellent. AVG: 22.4/6=3.73 (6 votes) “Trail of Fire”: 3.9 Woah, people don’t like this? Wtf is wrong with them? I mean sure it weaned off a bit by the end but still. (I’m gonna stop doing avgs because I don’t know if you’re caught up and I don’t want to mess you up :c ) I'll get to the rest tomorrow!
Egarran 03.30.18	"Wtf is wrong with them? " I think maybe they didn't hear the entire song. Hope you get happy soon.
bgillesp 03.30.18	In a florida hotel w/ crappy wifi, so updates just now up. Sorry fellas.
Papa Universe 03.30.18	who are you running from that you wound up in Florida, you poor soul?
bgillesp 03.30.18	Running yes but at a track meet.
JustJoe. 03.30.18	* Animal Collective -- "What Would I Want? Sky" ~ [4.4]
bgillesp 03.30.18	What Would I Want? Sky- 3.6 Was interesting enough but I just didn't really enjoy the sound
JustJoe. 03.30.18	You're ruining me, Blitzer.
bgillesp 03.30.18	Left side drive- 4.0
Papa Universe 03.30.18	Boards of Canada - Left Side Dive: 2.5 Animal Collective - What Would I Want? Sky: 2 sorry, both tracks absolutely not my thing.
bgillesp 03.30.18	Aw ):
JustJoe. 03.30.18	Don't forget about Ars with the 3.6 on "LSD".
Skoop 03.30.18	Left Side Drive Pleasant for sure. 3.5 What Would I Want? Sky Used to jam this song a bunch Senior year. Its still a bop. 4.2
bgillesp 03.30.18	What would I do without you Joe?
JustJoe. 03.30.18	I'm sure you would do quite alright, gilly!
bgillesp 03.30.18	Okay, That should be good for a while. I may not get a chance to update tonight or tomorrow night but I will tomorrow midday again. Then for the stats a few days later
BlazinBlitzer 03.30.18	@Joe I hope I didn’t ruin you too bad there ;) @skoopy Ayy, I’m currently in my Senior year!
neekafat 03.30.18	Gotta remember to start April lmao
bgillesp 03.30.18	Ya got 2 days. You can still keep up here. Dewinged on the other hand
neekafat 03.30.18	Kenn Nardi - “A Little Light”: 4.0 Pretty awesome tune, not gonna lie. Don’t really hear the thrash, but I also don’t really care. Could totally see why some wouldn’t dig this though, it is a bit cheesy at times (not that that bothers me!) AVG: 26.4/8=3.30 (8 votes) The Bug - “Skeng”: 4.0 Didn’t think this’d be my thing but it’s super goddamn funky. Nothing like anything I’ve ever heard before and I love it. AVG: 24.4/7=3.49 (7 votes) Elephant Stone - “A Silent Moment”: 4.1 Fucking awesome aside for when the vocalist tries to hard to make it sound like The Beatles. AVG: 25.5/7=3.64 (7 votes) Boards of Canada - “Left Side Drive”: 3.3 Ye that was cool for about a minute. AVG: 20.3/6=3.38 (6 votes) Animal Collective - “What Would I Want? Sky”: 3.5 Ye that was cool for about a minute. [2] Still interesting though. AVG: 17.7/5=3.54 (5 votes) Leonard Cohen - “Suzanne”: 3.6 This was pretty damn nice but didn’t really convince me to check this album out more which is a shame cuz I already did. Sorry I voted early but I'm an asshole and won't do it tomorrow probably
Metalrain 03.30.18	Gonna try to to catch up tonight, since I'm so far behind. Let's see how far I get.
Metalrain 03.30.18	Lobster Quadrile: This was really alright and thats about it. 3.3 AVG: 31/9=3.44 (9 votes) Empircist: What a great song, Indie Rock done right. 4.0 AVG: 32.1/8=4.01 (8 votes) Bloodline: Kind of weird going from the chorus to the verse again, but I love the atmopshere on this. 3.7 AVG: 29.4/8=3.67 (8 votes) Trail of Fire: Instrumently impressive, but a snooze fest for some parts. 3.3 AVG: 25.7/8=3.21 (8 votes) Skeng: Starts of really good, but then it just gets tiring to listen too after a while. 2.7 AVG: 28.1/8=3.51 (8 votes) A Silent Moment: Really cool for the most part, kinda reminded me of Sgt Pepper in some parts. 3.5 AVG: 24.9/6=3.55 (7 votes) Left Side Drive: Wears off real quick after the first minute. 2.7 AVG: 23/7=3.28 (7 votes) What Would I Want? Sky: Man, these kind of sings are not for me I guess. Though this one was a little better than the last one. 3.0 AVG: 20.7/6=3.45 (6 votes)
ArsMoriendi 03.31.18	"What Would I Want? Sky" Animal Collective is the kind of band that uses the a right formula to solve the wrong problem. In theory they should be one of my favorite bands, but wow do I hate most songs I hear by them. 2/5
JustJoe. 03.31.18	* Leonard Cohen -- "Suzanne" ~ [4.0]
bgillesp 03.31.18	Suzanne- 4.5 Amazing song but not the best on the record to me
bgillesp 03.31.18	Update and bump again. I appreciate everyone who helped out by calculating averages for me (even when your math was off several times Metalrain, haha)
Metalrain 03.31.18	One day I'll learn how to use that shitty windows calculator, but yesterday was not that day.
Metalrain 03.31.18	But besides my horrible math skills, Suzanne: Actually never heard much of Cohen, so this was a nice suprise. Amazing song, will check the album. 4.0
bgillesp 03.31.18	Haha, it's all good (:
BlazinBlitzer 03.31.18	Leonard Cohen - "Suzanne": Oh, come on. You're not supposed to submit songs that objectively good in this, right? 4.4/5
ArsMoriendi 03.31.18	bgill, you missed my Animal Collective rating
BlazinBlitzer 03.31.18	I think it's like a 3.24 now. Screw you and your righteous honesty!
ArsMoriendi 03.31.18	"Suzanne" I already know this song, but I'll re-listen to it. I'm a sucker for strings laid over other genres. 4.1/5
bgillesp 04.01.18	Sorry Ars. You're always hiding your ratings in the bottom right corner where I don't read, haha
bgillesp 04.01.18	Final bump. This ended up wrapping up nicely I think. On to April!!
bgillesp 04.01.18	Gonna check albums 2,5,7,8,11,13,15,17,21,26,27,29. Really good month for me compared to last. Checking 5 now since that song was so gosh darn entrancing
bgillesp 04.01.18	2,5,7, and 8 down. Unfortunately your recs were all the best songs on the album, although Peter Gabriel's held up and Arc Iris remained very good
neekafat 04.01.18	Glad you dug PG bgill, that's my favorite track as well but the rest of the album is gorgeous and awesome in different ways c:
JustJoe. 04.01.18	I envy such adventurous listening-initiative.
neekafat 04.01.18	[2]
bgillesp 04.01.18	I can't sleep in vehicles. It's 3am, and I am almost done with my bus ride from Florida to NC. I had nothing else to do (:
JustJoe. 04.01.18	That's usually the time where I rest my eyes & contemplate what it is I am, in fact, running from. Blocks. It's probably the blocks.
neekafat 04.01.18	Oh man I always fall asleep in buses, it's the vibrations and hum
JustJoe. 04.01.18	I remember when I was in 8th grade, we were returning home from a class trip. The geniuses in charge decided that this was the perfect time to hand out high school acceptance letters to everyone. I swear I've never heard so much crying & swearing in my life.
neekafat 04.01.18	Lmao that sounds perfectly traumatic
JustJoe. 04.01.18	It absolutely was & in such an enclosed area.
neekafat 04.01.18	Why would they even do that
JustJoe. 04.01.18	I feel like they were just so certain of the academic prowess & potential of their students that they didn't realize how many other schools didn't want to have them. Or maybe it was due to how many places some of my classmates applied. Just made it that much more apparent when you get four or five rejections.
bgillesp 04.01.18	You had to apply to high school?
JustJoe. 04.01.18	They were private high schools, so yeah.
neekafat 04.01.18	Oh weird
JustJoe. 04.01.18	I'd been in public school up till 7th grade & I moved a lot, so it was like 6 total schools. The idea of having to apply to a [high] school was a strange thing for me as well. District zoning was all I knew.
neekafat 04.01.18	The only private school I've gone to is kindergarten and my college (which is barely private since it's massive but yknow)

Egarran 04.02.18	Not too late I hope. I know yall been waitin ankshusly for mah ratings. Left Side Drive - The most boring thing I ever heard. reads the comments Oh I'm clearly missing something. Does the youtube link miss a channel or something? 2/5 What would I want? Sky - In theory they should be one of my favorite bands, but wow do I hate most songs I hear by them[2]. 2.4/5 Suzanne - I grew up with this song, so this tickles that precious memory center. Unfortunately I found out later that many annoying people (teenage girls and men over 50) think his lyrics are the pinnacle of human culture. 4/5

Egarran 04.15.18	The Bug made top half! So proud of you guys ❤❤❤

Egarran 04.15.18	Unfortunately I can't find anything as good in that genre. Sure there a couple of good tracks on London Zoo, but Skeng just has that extra dankness.

Egarran 07.28.18	Look at that beautiful list. But we have The Spreadsheet now ❤
