bgillesp 03.30.18	I'm reccin' Hidden Orchestra- Disquiet from Archipelago Its an absolutely beautiful instrumental track with influences ranging from jazz to trip/hip-hop to more electronic to even folk. An orchestral piece in the most modern sense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT6Ja0XXzZs
bgillesp 03.30.18	i edited my description a bit as you put it up sorry
MarsKid 03.30.18	Zapruder - "We Are Orphans" (metalcore/post-hardcore) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMX8WCIOMl4 Check Zapruder
DinosaurJones 03.30.18	Paper Void - Safekeeping (Jazz/Hip-Hop) From the album "Increments" I can't give you a link because I'm at work. Sorry :[ Youre a resourceful gentleman though.

bgillesp 03.30.18	Drifter, your birthday was last month. You can't have another
ZombieToyDuck 03.30.18	Lorene Drive- God Knows I Love You Kid an old underappreciated post hardcore goodie!
butcherboy 03.30.18	The Cure - Jumping Someone Else's Train https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGbzdXtsAeI a scrappy post-punk tune from the band's simpler pre-goth days..
Drifter 03.30.18	50 Cent - Many Men (Wish Death) (Get Rich or Die Tryin') https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c6OkLZ5K76s Put me as 7th plleeeaaasssseeee
ZombieToyDuck 03.30.18	lol typical Uni and Drifter bickering
Drifter 03.30.18	What the motherfuck
DinosaurJones 03.30.18	You can't always get what you want.
Papa Universe 03.30.18	like a reply to a shoutbox, Dino?
JustJoe. 03.30.18	Things are getting dicey it seems.
DinosaurJones 03.30.18	Uni, I'm seriously considering just forfeiting... I'm gonna dedicate some time to it this weekend, but if I'm still stumped by Sunday, I'm just going to concede.
DinosaurJones 03.30.18	And if that is the case, I accept that you will rag on me for it until the end of time.
Papa Universe 03.30.18	well, at least you give something in return
BlackMalachite 03.30.18	https://youtu.be/q2BZ8Y2vcys "If Only" by Escape the Fate off of their new album, holy fuck this acoustic sends shivers down my timbers
DinosaurJones 03.30.18	I mean, you also have to consider that after round 1, My score is below 1, and 2 points beneath the next lowest competitor, and we don't agree on most things musically, though I find you to be a fine fellow to converse with. That said, this isn't the topic to discuss your other lists in, so I'll drop it now, haha.
Papa Universe 03.30.18	I wanna defend myself with that comp, but I know that I essentially drove myself into a pit with it...
BlackMalachite 03.30.18	Hey Papa didn't know you were hosting these now
Papa Universe 03.30.18	we switch out month after month
BlackMalachite 03.30.18	Ohhhhhhhh, neat.
BlazinBlitzer 03.30.18	Tom Rogerson with Brian Eno - "Chain Home" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78MoD5BUXtU&t= Where the hell is the conversation for this song? I am in dire need of fans to gush over this track with. Anyways, this is my 2nd favorite vocalless track and my favorite classical track of last year. The piano/synth mixing and note-playing emphasis here is unmatched and it's got insane atmosphere building. I can imagine this being a soundtrack to a scene to a beautiful, yet horrifying haunted house. Yeah, this is just an understated near-classic piece of artwork from this collaboration.
bgillesp 03.30.18	Haha, drifter just keeps moving back
BlazinBlitzer 03.30.18	Papa should've put him at April 31st.
DinosaurJones 03.30.18	He might get there
DinosaurJones 03.30.18	...wait, fuck, there's only 30 days in April. I GET THE JOKE.
Papa Universe 03.30.18	well, it's still a long time coming
bgillesp 03.30.18	Surprised butcher didn't rec Rowland
neekafat 03.30.18	Lmao I was planning on stepping back in with this but this works
Papa Universe 03.30.18	thought we agreed I'll run it this time...
Dylan620 03.30.18	lol poor Drifter Soccer Mommy - "Scorpio Rising" I think this might be my SOTY so far; there's just something so pure, innocent, wholesome, and compulsively listenable about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5Xm39e1EG4
neekafat 03.30.18	I thought we agreed we weren't sure but you can take the reins this time buddy, I won't complain (;
neekafat 03.30.18	I am gonna be a lil bitch and request you credit me in the description tho
Metalrain 03.30.18	The Gathering - Travel Epic alternative rock with one of my favorite female voices in music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku9HgsC_r-k
anat 03.30.18	the longcut - arrows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_M78nEh8Q8 electronic noise rock, a hearty bowl of stew on a miserable day album is out april 6th so would've been apt to have that date but i'll take any other x
Papa Universe 03.30.18	put it in the database, anatelier
Skoop 03.30.18	Ruth (Fra) - Polaroid/Roman/Photo Little known French (I got it right this time I know it) group released this bop back in '85. Idk I just can't get it out of my head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jhiw6JKQc70
anat 03.30.18	thought i already had uni, it's up now
neekafat 03.30.18	Eh, fuck it. Queens of the Stone Age - "I Appear Missing" Pretty much the perfect rock song. Probably the best ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvSUaCly0VQ
bgillesp 03.31.18	bump for more recs
ArsMoriendi 03.31.18	Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 - "February" (Indie/Noise Rock) Noise rock with banjo that's super fun and lighthearted! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DE20TPjSDM
teamster 03.31.18	Blindead - A7bsence Very monumental song and video for me. Features the late Piotr Grudziński from Riverside as a special guest for one of my favorite bands of all time - Blindead doesn't sound the same since vocalist Patryk Zwoliński left. Song is fantastic and sounds huge live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Opuk1eReL-A
neekafat 03.31.18	Thanks uni lmao
bgillesp 04.01.18	Bump again and also I'm gonna go ahead and throw a 3.9 on that first track since I may not get around to it tomorrow if that's okay with you Papi. Checking the whole EP while I'm at it
bgillesp 04.01.18	The rest of the EP isn't as good though ):
neekafat 04.01.18	Oh I just coincidentally listened to 1 actually And actually I think Breadwinner is even better
JustJoe. 04.01.18	* Everything Everything -- "The Mariana" ~ [4.0]
Aberf 04.01.18	Ichiko Aoba - Imperial Smoke Town from the green(utabiko) album Just a girl and her classical guitar. https://youtu.be/yGPJM_66Rs4
neekafat 04.01.18	Yeah the Mariana is a 3.9, great track
BlazinBlitzer 04.01.18	Everything Everything - "The Mariana": Wow, that was better than anything off A Fever Dream. Good pick, Paps. 4.2/5
Papa Universe 04.01.18	I'll get to updating in an hour or so.
neekafat 04.01.18	slacker (;
Papa Universe 04.01.18	Awayfromcomputerandcannotworkfromphone-er
neekafat 04.01.18	And so it begins...
Papa Universe 04.01.18	butcher's asleep, so no
neekafat 04.01.18	PapaUniverseisahackthatstolemylistseries-er
Papa Universe 04.01.18	calm down, kid. don't you have homework for tomorrow?
neekafat 04.01.18	Can you really not tell when I'm sarcastically joking or when I'm actually being pissy?
bgillesp 04.01.18	Already behind Papi? Jk neek and I know how it be
bgillesp 04.01.18	He cannot neek, I even have trouble sometimes.
Papa Universe 04.01.18	crucial part of sarcasm is the voice tone... here it is obviously absent
neekafat 04.01.18	Usually when I use words like "hack" or "asswipe" I'm being sarcastic
Papa Universe 04.01.18	noted
JustJoe. 04.01.18	But if he says "ass-hack" then all bets are off.
Papa Universe 04.01.18	double negative?
JustJoe. 04.01.18	Ain't no.
Papa Universe 04.01.18	never ain't not none
JustJoe. 04.01.18	Been not finna ain't done nothin'.
Papa Universe 04.01.18	all updated
neekafat 04.01.18	"I ain't never got none" sounds like something someone could say though
neekafat 04.01.18	Stupid ars it's not Feburary anymore lmao
Papa Universe 04.01.18	oh, so it's not? then how come it's still ballsfreezing outside?
neekafat 04.01.18	That's a good ass question Wait... don't you live in Aussietralian?
Papa Universe 04.01.18	no. I thankfully have the age and financial disposition to choose other place to live. y'know, ones suitable for life.
neekafat 04.01.18	Where do you live then?
Papa Universe 04.01.18	I have a registered permanent residence in Czech Republic, but I usually never stay at one place.
neekafat 04.01.18	Oh kinky Well it's like 25 here in Chicago, which I would say is unseasonably cold, but it is Chicago...
Papa Universe 04.01.18	25 Fahrenheit, I presume (since you say it's cold)
neekafat 04.01.18	Oh yes sorry I forgot America is dumb
Papa Universe 04.01.18	buddy, I've been to dumber places. there's still Myanmar and Liberia
neekafat 04.01.18	Oh boy
bgillesp 04.01.18	Hey put my 3.9 in from late last night
Papa Universe 04.01.18	donnity-done
ArsMoriendi 04.01.18	"The Mariana" Why does this "sophistipop" sound like a Radiohead b-side? Meh 2.5/5
neekafat 04.01.18	They do sound quite a bit like Radiohead at times
Aberf 04.02.18	"The Mariana" This is pretty chill fam. 3.7
Skoop 04.02.18	The Mariana Pretty but ultimately not very immersive. This band isn't all that impressive with their ballads. 2.8
BlazinBlitzer 04.02.18	Snowmine - "Danger in the Snow": This is some amazing stuff. It's got a pretty winter vibe and I love the instrument presence from everyone involved. If I have qualms with it, it's sometimes the vocals and other times certain song directions but those complaints quite small so idc about that too much anyway. 4.3/5
bgillesp 04.02.18	danger in the snow- 3.7 a bit all over the place for me but mostly pretty enjoyable
Aberf 04.02.18	Snowmine - "Danger in the Snow" I like the shoegaze/dream pop element in here. 3.9
Skoop 04.02.18	Danger in the Snow Been so long since I've jammed this record. This is indeed a standout even though I would say I prefer tracks like the Hill more. The atmosphere on this is fantastic though. 3.7
anat 04.02.18	everything everything - the marinara [3.6] snowmine - danger in the snow [2.8] hidden orchestra - disquiet [3.2] zapruder - we are orphans [2.6] paper void - safekeeping [3.0] lorene drive - god knows i love you kid [3.3] the cure - jumping someone else's train [3.5] escape the fate - if only [1.5] tom rogerson with brian eno - chain home [3.5] soccer mommy - scorpio rising [3.2] the gathering - travel [3.7] ruth - polaroid / roman / photo [3.9] qotsa - i appear missing [3.4] thinking fellers local 282 - february [4.0] blindead - a7bscence [3.7] ichiko aoba - imperial smoke town [3.5] 50 cent - many men (wish death) [3.1] i don't feel like i can rate the ben folds without understanding the community context - fun song tho
Papa Universe 04.02.18	I will add you last.
JustJoe. 04.02.18	You forgot about skoop's 3.7 on mine. Also, hell yeah, skoop!
ArsMoriendi 04.03.18	"Danger in the Snow" Reminds me of 70s psych prog. I like the brass section Pretty decent. 3.6/5
JustJoe. 04.03.18	* Hidden Orchestra -- "Disquiet" ~ [4.3]
Metalrain 04.03.18	The Mariana: Great song, nothing that special but still enjoyable. 3.7 Danger in the Snow: Some good indie rock, but doesn't really interest me that much. 3.5 Disquiet: What a beautiful track this is, amazing. 4.5
Pheromone 04.03.18	Hello friends! I'm gonna do it this time for sure. EE - 3.4 It's good, better than most other songs of theirs I've heard - not much happening though Snowmine - 3.4 again, it's solid but it doesn't blow me away, particularly in the vocals & production departments Stay tuned, I'll be back after my shower to rate the next one!
Pheromone 04.03.18	For my pick - The Halo Benders - Don't Touch my Bikini https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WiTksgYm2g A great side project from Doug Marsch of Built to SPill and Calvin Johnson of Beat Happening. Try not to have fun listening to this.
Egarran 04.03.18	Richard Hawley - She brings the Sunlight. https://youtu.be/lSsd1V_VsbY Feel-good british psychedelic rock with massive guitar solos.
DinosaurJones 04.03.18	The Mariana - 3.7 Danger in the Snow - 3.6 Disquiet - 4.0
Egarran 04.03.18	The Mariana - Ooh new Coldplay. 2.5 Danger in the Snow - Interesting. Meh vocals. Could be weirder. 3.0 Disquiet - Very pleasing sounds. 3.9 And the drumming reminds me: If I can rec one more, it would be Xploding Plastix - Funnybones & Lazylegs (electronic drumcore) (https://youtu.be/3K8bXWJKgqY)
BlazinBlitzer 04.03.18	Hidden Orchestra - "Disquiet": It's a good track with excellent instrumentation and atmosphere variety, but I can't help but feel as if something's off with it and I'm thinking it's the production. There's nothing wrong with the production itself, but its consistently bombastic nature quarrels with some parts of the track, especially the calmer spots. It's from that that I feel the song isn't as unique as it might think it is. Like, I know it's different from anything I've heard before, but I've also heard this a million times in various soundtracks and other experimental albums. 3.4/5
ArsMoriendi 04.03.18	"Disquiet" This is really cool. Unexpected turns and diverse sounds. :) 4.3/5
neekafat 04.03.18	Can I have an extra on the 24th since it's my birthday? :3
Aberf 04.03.18	"Disquiet" This is really cool. But not too memorable for me. 3.9
neekafat 04.03.18	Snowmine - “Danger in the Snow!”: 3.8 Oh. Eh? Ah. Heh. - HIdden Orchestra - “Disquiet”: 4.1 This is really fucking cool, but yeah worried it’s not super memorable. Regardless, it’s a beaut.
Skoop 04.04.18	Disquiet Pretty neat with some nice dynamics and atmosphere. Kinda felt like the buildup was going to lead to something grander but ill come back to this one. 3.6
JustJoe. 04.04.18	* Zapruder -- "We Are Orphans" ~ [3.7]
Egarran 04.04.18	Could you please not add your own genre descriptors? Stuff like (some bloated tangling metal-ish stuff, idk) makes both you and the track look bad.
Papa Universe 04.04.18	y'all updated
ZombieToyDuck 04.04.18	mehhh Uni I wanna change mine! Third Eye Blind- Blinded An often overlooked TEB album, Out of The Vein showcases some of Third Eye Blind's career best songs and "Blinded" contains all the elements which make it for one of their long-term highlights. It radiates passion and exudes vibrance with it's melodic guitar passages and superb songwriting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyepAg_ISDI
Papa Universe 04.04.18	I can just put you at the end of the list with a second rec. We never have enough recs to fill every spot, so we eventually delve into repeat recs. Would you like that?
ZombieToyDuck 04.04.18	yessir!
ZombieToyDuck 04.04.18	if ya need more lemme know
neekafat 04.04.18	You didn't answer my quesch :c
Papa Universe 04.04.18	"Eh?" this one?
bgillesp 04.04.18	3.6 on We Are Orphans for me. Also I agree with Eg in that you should at least be objective/consistent in your genre labeling
bgillesp 04.04.18	Also, my second rec: Stan Getz- The Girl From Ipanema (Getz/Gilberto version) [Bossa Nova/Samba] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8VPmtyLqSY A surprisingly catchy tune, in a haunting kind of way, from the early popularization of the brazillian bossa nova jazz scene.
DinosaurJones 04.04.18	Oh, are we doing second recs? Kindo - Romancing a Stranger (from Play With Fire) [Jazz/Pop/Latin] A song that should feel too crowded, but every element works perfectly through this fun-filled romp. Sorry, at work, so I can't provide a link, but I appreciate you and all you do, uni
ArsMoriendi 04.04.18	"We Are Orphans" I can never tell when metalcore is "good" vs. "bad," so I'll slap a 2.5/5 on it. RAAAAAAAWR I'M A BEAR! GIVE ME YOUR PICNIC BASKET OR I'LL MAUL YOUUUUUUUUU is what they're saying right? I can't understand the lyrics :D 2.5/5
bgillesp 04.04.18	its from Getz/Gilberto, fix it
neekafat 04.04.18	For my birthday I want "Blind" by TV on the Radio Probably their best song, a fuzzy and bleak trudge through feelings we all should be over with by now but can't seem to kick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9HOWy-y0OQ
bgillesp 04.04.18	@Ars, hahahahaha
JustJoe. 04.04.18	I've got another song that sounds like I'm sleeping. * Grouper + The Bug -- "Black Wasp" ~ [dubstep] It's from "Exit" EP by The Bug.
Papa Universe 04.04.18	link?
JustJoe. 04.04.18	https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3GD3HpWkEgg
bgillesp 04.04.18	fix Getz Gilberto album plz
DinosaurJones 04.04.18	I will check out the Zapruder song and provide a link for my second rec when I get out of the office. Apparently Zapruder isn't on Spotify.
Egarran 04.04.18	We Are Orphans - So hard to rate. The music is good, but... Do they make instrumental versions? 3.2
BlazinBlitzer 04.04.18	Zapruder - "We Are Orphans": The guitar production on this is beyond mesmerizing, but everything else is kinda meh and the ending felt really abrupt. 3.1/5
ZombieToyDuck 04.04.18	fun fact Lorene Drive's lead singer became part of the trash you may know as Hollywood Undead instead of continuing to make good music... smh
Metalrain 04.04.18	I'll do a second rec if a spot is still open Galileo Galilei - Blues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-UUWohvTXM The sound of a band falling apart, emotional and powerful J-rock.
Papa Universe 04.04.18	you guys give me so many second recs that there is no space for anyone still willing to give their first. but that might as well never happen... or I'll just replace Drifter's rec
BlazinBlitzer 04.04.18	Oh crap, I'd be the last spot if I did this now, so here goes: Mutemath - "Reset" (electro rock) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUqSUiSolvQ I remember jamming this stuff about three years ago as Mutemath was probably my favorite pop rock band from back in the day. The drummer was an absolute beast on this album, especially this track, and it sucks that he recently left the band. Anyways, "Reset" on the whole is pretty unique and dope.
BlazinBlitzer 04.04.18	Take out my second rec first if someone wants to do a first rec.
bgillesp 04.04.18	Fix my album art [3]
bgillesp 04.04.18	The Getz/Gilberto song is from the album Getz/Gilberto by Getz
BlazinBlitzer 04.04.18	Provide a link utsusu.
Papa Universe 04.04.18	it's a day-old alt, ignore him.
BlazinBlitzer 04.04.18	Lol ok.
Papa Universe 04.04.18	well, if you'll be alive by the time it comes to you, then I might as well keep it in.
Aberf 04.04.18	"We Are Orphans" Meh'talcore 2.0
BlazinBlitzer 04.04.18	I feel like this is Papa Uni's alt and he's just talking to himself.
Papa Universe 04.04.18	sach?
Aberf 04.04.18	are you sowing's alt?
Papa Universe 04.04.18	Pole Younger?
Papa Universe 04.04.18	his communication skills are fairly primitive, so it might be Sinternet
Papa Universe 04.04.18	what about that goodbye letter you left a while back in the forums? are you still trying to get back in?
Papa Universe 04.04.18	since I have you here now, why have you been banned in the first place? and then in the second? and third? and all the other ones? what does one have to do to enrage all the mods?
DinosaurJones 04.04.18	General belligerence? Here's a link for my second rec: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxT216lzN8E
BlazinBlitzer 04.04.18	"all these new users are fucking retarded like fr it's not hard to figure out who i am lmao" If I'm a relatively new user, then how am I retarded for not recognizing you?
Papa Universe 04.04.18	you sound like a political refugee. #freesach
Papa Universe 04.04.18	so was 'sach' your original account?
Papa Universe 04.04.18	Aaaand they banned him... (he got sached. Get it? As in sacked?)
Papa Universe 04.04.18	Aaaand he's back...
Papa Universe 04.05.18	I'll just edit the whole entry and put it under 'sach'. People will understand.
Skoop 04.05.18	We Are Orphans Decent but not my thing 2.7
BlazinBlitzer 04.05.18	Paper Void - "Safekeeping": The chill is strong in this one. There's nothing too outstanding about it other than that, but there's nothing underwhelming about it either other than the rapper's vocals occasionally. Good song. 3.8/5
JustJoe. 04.05.18	* Paper Void -- "Safekeeping" ~ [4.0]
JustJoe. 04.05.18	I posted that link so you can edit it now.
Pheromone 04.05.18	Hidden Orchestra - 3.5 really nice Zapruder - 2.5 incredibly inoffensive Paper Void - 3.5 again really pretty, didn't blow me away though
bgillesp 04.05.18	3.3 today
bgillesp 04.05.18	Also @Papi his original account was iloveyouall but everyone called him sach because he loved Sachiko M so much
Papa Universe 04.05.18	how does someone called iloveyouall get banned?
bgillesp 04.05.18	idk what started it honestly. I think he just started stuff with a few higher ups and then never respected the bans he was given by making alts to come back early. I didn't pay too much attention though
ZombieToyDuck 04.05.18	Paper Void - this was great! Reallly refreshing 4.4
Skoop 04.05.18	Safekeeping Can't deny the vibe on this one, although the rap verse didn't feel quite as seamless as I would have liked. 3.8
ArsMoriendi 04.06.18	"Safekeeping" The music rules, the woman's voice rules, the rap part is alight, but ruins the flow. 3.7/5
Drifter 04.06.18	Many men Many many many many men Wish death upon me lord I dont cry no more Dont look to the sky to more
BlazinBlitzer 04.06.18	Lorene Drive - "God Knows I Love You Kid": God knows other bands were better at this. 2.9/5
Aberf 04.06.18	"Safekeeping" I would love to get an instrumental version of this 3.5
JustJoe. 04.06.18	* Lorene Drive -- "God Knows I Love You Kid" ~ [3.9]
Papa Universe 04.06.18	sorry Zombie, but today's track was just 1.5 all the way...
ZombieToyDuck 04.06.18	well damn papa but dont forget anatelier gave it a 3.3!
Egarran 04.06.18	Safekeeping - I was fresh from some occult black metal, so this was a funny contrast. Great until that weak ass rapper comes in. 3.6 God Knows I Love You Kid - One song logically has to be the worst of the month and I really hope it's this one. 1.5
anat 04.06.18	sorry for jumping the gun with my ratings, I just had a spare evening and thought I’d blitz thru em
Papa Universe 04.06.18	I'll keep forgetting about them, though. Could you keep readding them here as the days come along?
anat 04.06.18	yeah sure thing
bgillesp 04.06.18	3.9 today, I dug it and don't know why y'all hated it
BlazinBlitzer 04.07.18	The Cure - "Jumping Someone Else's Train": And The Cure continue to be a hard-to-love band for me. The ending was cool, at least. 3.0/5
Aberf 04.07.18	"God Knows I Love You Kid" It's alright. 2.5
JustJoe. 04.07.18	* The Cure -- "Jumping Someone Else's Train" ~ [4.2]
bgillesp 04.07.18	The Cure be a good band. 4.0
Pheromone 04.07.18	Lorene Drive - 2/5
ArsMoriendi 04.07.18	"God Knows I Love You Kid" I thought I'd hate this more, but it's honestly just worse than good. 2.9/5 "Jumping Someone Else's Train" This was pretty cool post punk. 3.6/5
Metalrain 04.07.18	We Are Orphans: Cool track for metalcore, but doesn't really go beyond that. 3.3 Safekeeping: This was a really chill one. 3.5 God Knows I Love You Kid: Meh 2.5 Jumping Someone Else's Train: Love me some Cure. 3.7
Aberf 04.07.18	"Jumping Someone Else's Train" Noice 3.8
BlazinBlitzer 04.08.18	Escape the Fate - "If Only": I mean, I guess this could've been way worse, but there's hardly anything about this song that says, "Replay me!!" The vocals and production are bad and while everything else is fairly passable, they hardly add much substance at all. I know I'm trashing it a bit and I apologize for that, but this was definitely not my cup of tea. It was more like a cup of flat soda. 2.0/5
Metalrain 04.08.18	If Only: This was really boring, nothing about this stands out or does anything more than great. 2.0
JustJoe. 04.08.18	* Escape the Fate: "If Only" ~ [2.3]
Egarran 04.08.18	Jumping Someone Else's Train - Classic. I could have been a Cure fan, but I chose Satan. 4.0 If Only - I lasted 32 seconds. 2.0
bgillesp 04.08.18	Unfortunately, If Only is the best song on that album. 1.7
ArsMoriendi 04.08.18	"If Only" His voice is pretty eh, but the song is inoffensive. I have no gripes with this song, but also nothing to praise. 2.5/5
JustJoe. 04.09.18	* Tom Rogerson + Brian Eno -- "Chain Home" ~ [4.0]
Aberf 04.09.18	"If Only" If only.... 2.0
Skoop 04.09.18	God Knows I Love You Kid Manages to be both obnoxious and uninteresting at once. There's plenty of groups over the years who have done this style better. 2.4 Jumping Someone Else's Train Unremarkable but decently fun. 3.3 If Only Not as mind numbingly grating as most of their material but the lyrics and formulaic nature of the track still render it pretty damn bad. 2.2
Skoop 04.09.18	Chain Home To me the first half feels more like aimless noodling than atmosphere building but once it establishes its tone it does become fairly effective. I definitely need to find time to delve into Eno's catalogue further. 3.3
Papa Universe 04.09.18	today's song is a textbook definition of 'not my thing'
anat 04.09.18	hey pap do we rate our own recs?
Papa Universe 04.09.18	No.
Metalrain 04.09.18	Chain Home: Yeah, this is also not my thing. The track does what it sets out to do really well, it's just that I'm not that interested as I should be. 3.0
BlazinBlitzer 04.09.18	"If Only" looks like it should have an average of 2.02, not 1.82.
Papa Universe 04.09.18	Whoops, it is... forgot to account for one of the 2s... There's just so many.
BlazinBlitzer 04.09.18	Ikr, it's pretty impressive lol.
Aberf 04.09.18	"Chain Home" This sounds like a grower. 3.5
ArsMoriendi 04.10.18	"Chain Home" This was uneventful... 2.8/5
bgillesp 04.10.18	Chain home- 3.2, the first bit was interesting then it got boringly wierd
JustJoe. 04.10.18	* soccer mommy -- "Scorpio Rising" ~ [3.9]
butcherboy 04.10.18	if 19 doesn't get a good score, i'll be sad.. fantastic album.
Metalrain 04.10.18	Scorpio Rising: This was just really sweet and nice to listen too. 3.8
Pheromone 04.10.18	Sorry about lateness again =( The Cure - 4.5 - Makes me which I consistently loved The Cure Tom & Brian - 4 - Nice Catacomb of atmosphere, really dug Soccer Mommy - 4.5 - Great pick Dyl, weird now that after the yearbook photo I can picture you crying along to it. Some really good picks the past few days, lets not talk about Escape The Fate
Pheromone 04.10.18	same butch, i will riot if people dont find it fun
Dylan620 04.10.18	Lol thanks Phero! Funny thing is I get euphoria out of "Scorpio Rising" more than anything else, though maybe one of these days it'll make me cry from joy ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ALSO, I've got a couple ratings: "The Mariana" - 3.7 (updated avg: 3.51) "Jumping Someone Else's Train" - 3.9 (updated avg: 3.73) [disclaimer: I'm already familiar with "Jumping" by way of their Staring at the Sea comp] I'm really bad at keeping up with this and I know I need to change that...
Aberf 04.10.18	"Scorpio Rising" This the kind of sound I'm looking for within the singer-songwriter realm. 4.0
Skoop 04.10.18	Scorpio Rising Pretty solid. Sorta drifts by in a whimsical pleasant manner. Doesn't out Julien Baker Julien Baker though. 3.5
ZombieToyDuck 04.10.18	"3.9 today, I dug it and don't know why y'all hated it" bgillesp my mann. I am a bit surprised it was so scattershot score wise but it seems like this site tends to hate on metalcore and post hardcore for whatever damn reason.
BlazinBlitzer 04.10.18	Soccer Mommy - "Scorpio Rising": I really want to like this with you guys. I really, really do. But I can't do it. The vocalist is boring, the song structure is boring, the instrumentation is boring, and I've heard better in similar territory before. The lyrics are great and it's very sweet, don't get me wrong, but I can't get impressed by anything else here. EDIT: Ugh, dammit. Multiple listens uncover extra layers of sweetness. Gotta bump it up +.5 3.3/5
ArsMoriendi 04.10.18	"Scorpio Rising" Pleasant as hell, but nothing too special. Extra .1 for the distorted ending. 3.3/5
bgillesp 04.10.18	Scorpio- 4.1, best discovery so far for me
BlazinBlitzer 04.11.18	I think you missed Metalrain’s rating on “Chain Home”. It was a 3.
Egarran 04.11.18	Chain Home - Yeah I could see tripping to this. 3.5 Scorpio Rising - This seems to be an acoustic cover of Teenage Dirtbag, Baby. 3.5 Travel - I was a huge Gathering fan around Mandylion, so obviously I was disappointed with this. Also I knew an obnoxious poser couple who loved this more than metal Gathering. Imagine having sex to this... yeah, I could actually see that.. but APART FROM THAT, this annoys me for various reasons. 3.5
BlazinBlitzer 04.11.18	The Gathering - "Travel": This is really cool. It reminds me of Porcupine Tree's "Dark Matter" without the guitar solo at the end. I still wish the instrumental breaks were a little more interesting, though. 3.9/5
JustJoe. 04.11.18	* The Gathering -- "Travel" ~ [4.0]
Dylan620 04.11.18	"Scorpio Rising - This seems to be an acoustic cover of Teenage Dirtbag, Baby. 3.5" Triggered Like I'm glad you dug it but please don't insult it by comparing it to frickin' "Teenage Dirtbag" of all things :/
neekafat 04.11.18	Goddamn I'm behind, I'm sorry guys I'm a disgrace to my own creation
neekafat 04.11.18	Wtf this didn't get featured?
Papa Universe 04.11.18	I'm on mods' bad side, they are done featuring my stuff.
bgillesp 04.11.18	I love Annekes voice but the music and lyrics here not so much. 3.5
neekafat 04.11.18	How dare you taint our streak...
bgillesp 04.11.18	This non featured edition has had the highest participation though in a while
neekafat 04.11.18	Yeah man they haven't dropped at all I'm surprised
Papa Universe 04.11.18	it's all on basis of a name recognition, lads. the host is who makes the ratings flow.
bgillesp 04.11.18	Tis true
ZombieToyDuck 04.11.18	I feel the pain of lack of name recognition either that or I draw people away for whatever reason ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Aberf 04.11.18	"Travel" This is a very good prog. 3.9
ArsMoriendi 04.12.18	"Travel" This is fine. It's not good enough to be 9 minutes though. Maybe I'd rank it higher if it was half the length or had interesting transitions. 3/5
Drifter 04.12.18	Many men is not a 3.1 what the heck
BlazinBlitzer 04.12.18	Just wait until the other ratings come in.
JustJoe. 04.12.18	* The Longcut -- "Arrows" ~ [3.4]
BlazinBlitzer 04.12.18	The Longcut - "Arrows": Nice. 4.1/5
ArsMoriendi 04.12.18	"Arrows" This isn't noise rock at all... it's really cool though. 4.4/5
Aberf 04.12.18	"Arrows" Agreed with Ars, this doesn't sound like Noise at all (although it's quite noise-poppy). Feels more to be an electro-shoegaze tbh. I actually like this a lot. 4.3
Tundra 04.12.18	Well, i'm hella late to this, guessing it's too late to suggest a song lol, if i gave these ratings would they be put up?
Papa Universe 04.12.18	it's a bit late, but see if you can convince some other folks of giving your their second spot. or try your luck next month. and you can rate whenever you want, bub, most of us are skipping songs and mass-rating everything afterwards anyway
Tundra 04.12.18	i'll just wait for the next month's lol
Papa Universe 04.12.18	but you can still rate tho
Dylan620 04.12.18	gonna give "I Appear Missing" a 4.8 ahead of time, already familiar with the song and love it
Tundra 04.12.18	oh, i get how it works now, i'll give The Longcut - Arrows 3.5 better than expected
Egarran 04.12.18	Arrows - It was a song that I listened to. 3.0
Skoop 04.13.18	Travel I want to like this more than I do. Its decent though. 3.1 Arrows I'm usually a fan of more subdued vocals but here the sleepy nature of the singer just seems to clash with the triumphant movement that the instrumentals create. The atmosphere is certainly impeccable enough to render it solid regardless. This is closer to Coldplay than noise rock though. 3.6
Egarran 04.13.18	The Coldplay style is popular around these parts, see 1.
bgillesp 04.13.18	Did I forget to respond about arrows? It's a 3.5
JustJoe. 04.13.18	* Ruth -- "Polaroid/Roman/Photo" ~ [3.4]
ArsMoriendi 04.13.18	"Polaroid/Roman/Photo" I'm really feeling this one! I love the interplay between the male and female vocalists. It's catchy in a great way.The horns are also awesome! Best song I've been introduced to for SotD. 4.7/5 :D
neekafat 04.13.18	Zarpruder: "We Are Orphans" I mean, yeah it's heavy. But it's also pretty lame. 2.9 3.01 (12 folks) - Paper Void: "Safekeeping" Jazz? Is that what this is? Enh. 3.1 3.59 (13 folks) - Lorene Drive - "God Knows I Love You Kid" This is pretty damn fun, not too much else, but I do like the change-ups! 3.6 2.76 (11 folks) - The Cure: "Jumping Someone Else's Train" Yeah alright this is pretty damn nifty. 3.8 3.79 (13 folks) - Escape the Fate: "If Only" I mean I'm even a sucker for this kind of gay shit and I didn't like it. 2.7 2.07 (11 folks) - some guy and Brian Eno: "Chain Home" yeah dis pretty good but I think the answer to why you're the only one who likes it so much is because it ain't super great :/ 3.5 3.30 (11 folks)
neekafat 04.13.18	soccer mommy: "Scorpio Rising" Oh fuck. No. My weakness. 4.2 3.71 (12 folks) - The Gathering: "Travel" MY OTHER WEAKNESS. 4.4 3.60 (10 votes) - The Longcut: "Arrows" 3.6 3.64 (10 votes) - Ruth: ... This is kinda really cool once it gets going 3.7
bgillesp 04.14.18	Skoop- 3.8 Neek- 4.0
BlazinBlitzer 04.14.18	Ruth - "Polaroid/Roman/Photo": The overall sound of this is very, very well done. I just wanted more range in the vocals; they sounded pretty stilted throughout. Yet another great track, though, so I can't complain. 3.9/5
BlazinBlitzer 04.14.18	"yeah dis pretty good but I think the answer to why you're the only one who likes it so much is because it ain't super great :/" Don't try to stop me now, neeka! Joe and Pheromone have given me at least some hope with their 4's :P
Aberf 04.14.18	Ruth - "Polaroid/Roman/Photo": This is pretty good actually. 4.0
Aberf 04.14.18	QOTSA - "I Appear Missing" This doesn't go hard enough. 3.3
JustJoe. 04.14.18	* Queens of the Stone Age -- "I Appear Missing" ~ [3.8]
neekafat 04.14.18	Aberf you cuck...
Papa Universe 04.14.18	hope my rating will make you feel better, neek
bgillesp 04.14.18	Add mine from yesterday and today
Aberf 04.14.18	I like some other tracks better from QOTSA. "I sat by the ocean" or "smooth sailing"
Tundra 04.14.18	Can't say i'm in love with 14 but it's pretty good probably would be better in conjunction with the full album, 3.2
Papa Universe 04.14.18	@bgillesp: oh I thought you were rating the users...
ArsMoriendi 04.14.18	"I Appear Missing" This is enjoyable, but it doesn't blow me away. 3.8/5
neekafat 04.14.18	Y'all need Jesus Except you papi, you make me happy today (:
Skoop 04.15.18	I Appear Missing Man I want to enjoy these guys more than I do. This track has solid dynamics and a neat unsettling mood but it just doesn't floor me like I want it to. Sorry neek 3.7
bgillesp 04.15.18	Hey, this is one of the first QOTSA songs Ive liked neeka, I'll check the album at the end of the month
neekafat 04.15.18	Do it, that's their best!
BlazinBlitzer 04.15.18	Queens of the Stone Age - “I Appear Missing”: I remember when I thought that ...Like Clockwork as the most overrated album of the decade. I might have to revisit and correct myself now, though, because this was amazing. 4.3/5
JustJoe. 04.15.18	* Thinking Fellers Local 282 -- "February" ~ [3.6]
bgillesp 04.15.18	February- super fun sound but the first 2 minutes was quite repetitive for how much was going on, 3.8
Egarran 04.15.18	Polaroid - I have a soft spot for french pop (the vocals are not _supposed_ to have range), but I can't be seen with it in public. 4.0 I Appear Missing - I don't get this album, I just want them to rock the fuck out argh 3.3 Strangers From the Universe - Definitely something else, thanks. 3.3
bgillesp 04.15.18	My rec is still winning!
BlazinBlitzer 04.15.18	"(the vocals are not _supposed_ to have range)" Sure, but they sounded boring without it.
neekafat 04.15.18	Man, I thought rec'ing I Appear Missing would be like cheating...
BlazinBlitzer 04.15.18	You actually cheated on "Wait", though. That's objectively a classic lol.
ArsMoriendi 04.16.18	:o
JustJoe. 04.16.18	* Blindead -- "A7bsence" ~ [3.8]
bgillesp 04.16.18	A7bsence- couldn't decide on my favorite one liner so have both "90s post grungers Fuel team up with 2000s prog sludgers Mastodon to make a song better than either ever could alone" or "hey, is that Eddie Vedder?" But yeah based on the song title I was expecting some second rate wannabe crap especially after seeing the length too, but this blew me away 4.5
bgillesp 04.17.18	Bump
neekafat 04.17.18	@BlazinBlitzer you right but I had to open with a bang
ArsMoriendi 04.17.18	"A7bsence" This is fine. Grungy vocals, slow metal music. Not my thing, but it seems well made so: 3.1/5
BlazinBlitzer 04.17.18	Thinking Fellers Local 282 - "February": Ohhh, now I know where Les Claypool got the South Park theme from. Gotcha. Anyways, what a damn fun track, even when taking a little bit to hit its stride. 4.0/5 Blindead - "A7bsence": So I'm thinking about running something called a "Middle of the Road" comp in the near future to where you rec' me the most average track you can think of. This song would go absurdly far in that comp. 3.0/5 Ichiko Aoba - "Imperial Smoke Town": Even after a couple of very careful listens, I still have no idea of what to think of this track. I'll tell you what, I'm gonna give some of her other work a listen (this track's featured album in particular) to give some backstory to the lyrics and instrumental patterns before I properly rate this. Is that cool?
neekafat 04.17.18	no
Egarran 04.17.18	I'm super offended you would even ask that.
BlazinBlitzer 04.17.18	That was intended for Aberf and Papa Uni, but jeez, offense taken. Lol jk. It was indeed a silly question :P
JustJoe. 04.17.18	* Ichiko Aoba -- "Imperial Smoke Town" ~ [3.6]
ArsMoriendi 04.18.18	"Imperial Smoke Town" This is pretty n' stuff. 3.7/5
Aberf 04.18.18	"A7bsence" This is the most inoffensive thing I've ever heard. 3.0
JustJoe. 04.18.18	* Ben Folds -- "Ass Crack Bandit" ~ [2.4]
Egarran 04.18.18	A7bsence: Band name and song title turn me off, but this is a really nice song. I get Pearl Jam vibes from the first half. Looks at video again Jfc nine minutes! But the climax is great. 4/5 Utabiko: Ooh it's got the Battery intro. Very pretty if somewhat flimsy improv and too long. What's she singing? 3.2/5 So There: Haha wth is this? Never saw Community, that would likely raise the score. 2.4
bgillesp 04.18.18	Fell asleep while typing this. Ichiko song sounded like 4 songs chopped up and mixed together which I didn't like but each bit was really nice so 3.7
bgillesp 04.18.18	Folds- I don't get it 2.8
ArsMoriendi 04.18.18	"Ass Crack Bandit" This has to be the most boring/lifeless song of the day yet. 1.9/5
bgillesp 04.18.18	Looks like a lot of people wanna fight you Papi
Papa Universe 04.18.18	pretty sure they want to fight that other unrelated character
neekafat 04.18.18	who tf is eugene the pigeon
neekafat 04.18.18	Oh good it's a papi alt
Papa Universe 04.18.18	yo what the fuck?
bgillesp 04.18.18	Yay, more people callin you papi
Papa Universe 04.18.18	not particularly fond of that...
Drifter 04.18.18	His name is dad
Papa Universe 04.18.18	not what it says in my passport, but I'm okay with that
JustJoe. 04.18.18	Still Unique.
Papa Universe 04.18.18	unique indeed, but Papa now
bgillesp 04.18.18	Papi Unique Dad Universe
Skoop 04.18.18	February A more low key affair than I was anticipating, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. 4.1 A7bscence Pretty powerful and certainly well performed but never really captivated me. 3.2 Imperial Smoke Town Love her to death, just sublime. 4.3 Ass Crack Bandit Maybe in the context of the show its elevated, but lord that was grating to listen to. 2
JustJoe. 04.19.18	* The Halo Benders -- "Don't Touch My Bikini" ~ [3.0]
neekafat 04.19.18	just unique just unique...
Aberf 04.19.18	"Ass Crack Bandit" Which DGD track is this? Cuz this sounds cringy as fuck. 1.4
anat 04.19.18	don't touch my bikini homer simpson talks over a tedious loop and kooky SFX 2.6
ArsMoriendi 04.19.18	"Don't Touch My Bikini" Sounds more like Eric Wareheim than Homer Simpson. The vocals are even lazier than Pavement's. Also the music is eh... It's kind of unique though. 2.8/5
bgillesp 04.19.18	Eeeehhhhhh 2.7
Pheromone 04.19.18	smh
bgillesp 04.19.18	Sorry bud. Should've rec'd an ee song
Pheromone 04.19.18	Funny enough, I was gonna go for One Less Year but it's not on youtube :( swings and roundabouts
JustJoe. 04.20.18	* Richard Hawley -- "She Brings the Sunlight" ~ [3.9]
Egarran 04.20.18	Obviously a reference to Mary Jane.
bgillesp 04.20.18	Sorry, didn't do too much for me but it was still good. 3.5 for Hawley
ArsMoriendi 04.20.18	"She Brings the Sunlight" Pleasurable, but it overstayed its visit. 3.7/5
JustJoe. 04.21.18	* 7038634357 -- "Sugar Armor" ~ [4.1]
JustJoe. 04.22.18	* Galileo Galilei -- "Blues" ~ [3.1]
Skoop 04.22.18	Goodness this slows down as the month goes on. Let me catch up
Skoop 04.22.18	Don't Touch My Bikini Has a nice quirky sound that I enjoy but never really becomes interesting as a track. 2.6 She Brings The Sunlight This sounded quite different from many of the tracks I've heard from him which were much more Sinatra esque. Honestly think he does that sound much better. 3.2 Sugar Armor Not what I usually jam but remained somewhat interesting. 3.3
bgillesp 04.22.18	Forgot to reply yesterday, surprisingly Sach rec'd a dec song tho. 3.6
bgillesp 04.22.18	Also no access to the song for today for me
Skoop 04.22.18	Likewise
Aberf 04.22.18	15th > "February" I forgot to put my rating, 3.6 16th > "A7bsence" I haven't seen my rating there, it's a 3 19th > "Don't Touch My Bikini" This sounds like madness in the worst way. 2.3 20th >"She brings the Sunlight" I...... never liked psych as a genre. This doesn't sound too offensive to me. 2.5 21th >"Sugar Armor" Wait what? It finished already? 3.3 22th> can't access the song cuz I live in the mighty freedomland
Metalrain 04.22.18	Got a link to the song on my Google Drive that should work https://drive.google.com/file/d/1so4JnWC514Z-dxXs4TQyZhGlnQ62cUQz/view?usp=sharing Gonna go catch up tonight, wish me luck
bgillesp 04.22.18	thanks, ill check it now
Aberf 04.22.18	22th > "Blues" This some great J-rock track. 3.6
Metalrain 04.22.18	For anyone wondering why Blues is the sound of a band falling apart, the lyrics are about how the whole album is shit.
anat 04.22.18	she brings the sunlight 3.3 sugar armor 3.5 blues 3
Metalrain 04.22.18	Arrows: Didn't actually hate the vocals as I was thinking and that build up is pretty great. 3.5 Polaroid/Roman/Photo: Instrumentation is pretty nice, can't get that into the female vocals tho. 3.5 I Appear Missing: This is the best on the album, which says alot. What a song. 4.6 February: This is the good kind of weirdness that I just can't resist. 4.0 A7bsence: A song that would be really good live. But just normally, it's just decent/good. 3.3 Imperial Smoke Town: I really don't know what to make of this, so I'll just slap a 3 on this and call it a day. 3.0 Ass Crack Bandit: Don't know if this is supossed to be a parody or not, either way it's bad. 1.7 Don't Touch My Bikini: Don't see myself listening to this often, but it's decent. 2.7 She Brings The Sunlight: This is some really great shit. 3.6 Sugar Armor: Didn't really feel anything listening to this. It's just... there. 2.5
ArsMoriendi 04.22.18	"Sugar Armor" Sounds like the background music to an open world game set in the apocalyptic future. Very ambient. Not something I'd listen to by itself by choice, but it'd work well on a soundtrack. 3.4/5 "Blues" "This video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc.. It is not available in your country."/5
Metalrain 04.23.18	Papa Uni, can you update 22's link with my drive link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1so4JnWC514Z-dxXs4TQyZhGlnQ62cUQz/view?usp=sharing
Skoop 04.23.18	Blues Pretty well done with a solid vocal performance but also struck me as pretty generic. All the pieces are there but they're not really utilized in an interesting fashion. 3.2
Egarran 04.23.18	Sugar Armor - Nice sounds, man. I know little of this music but it reminded me of Amon Tobin's GOTO 10, which is awesome (z3ZmRoopX0s). 3.4 Blues - What Skoopy said. 3.2
Metalrain 04.23.18	Black Wasp: This is a really cool song, though i wished it would change it up a bit more. 3.7
anat 04.23.18	black wasp artwork is crazy good, song is palatable and probably greater in its context 3.6
ArsMoriendi 04.23.18	"Black Wasp" I have almost no opinion on this. Thin air in song form. 2.5/5
bgillesp 04.24.18	Blues- 4.2, i liked the emotional feel Black Wasp- 3.9, great sound but didn't do a whole lot
ArsMoriendi 04.24.18	Papa! Metalrain gave my song a 4, not a 3.3 :\|
JustJoe. 04.24.18	* TV on the Radio -- "Blind" ~ [4.0]
Egarran 04.24.18	Black Wasp - Well, it's no Skeng. Miss the grime. 2.5
ArsMoriendi 04.25.18	"Blind" I like the vibe, but this overstays it's visit by a lot. 3.2/5
bgillesp 04.25.18	24- hip hop? Anyways it's real good 4.3
JustJoe. 04.25.18	* Kindo -- "Romancing a Stranger" ~ [3.7]
ArsMoriendi 04.25.18	"Romancing a Stranger" This would make excellent background music. It's almost sort of loungy. Best I could rate something I call "background music" though. 3.5/5
bgillesp 04.25.18	25- 3.8, sinatra type vibe that idk if i like in this setting
bgillesp 04.25.18	This late month slump hitting people hard. Papi you gonna run this another month or we gonna have to find someone to pass it off to again?
Papa Universe 04.25.18	I can run 500 rounds and I will run 500 more just to be the man who runs a 1000 rounds to fall down at your door.
Egarran 04.25.18	❤❤❤
Skoop 04.26.18	Black Wasp I enjoyed this quite a bit, although it is a bit lethargic perhaps. 3.8 Blind Minute or so too long but nevertheless has a fantastic mood. 3.7 Romancing A Stranger Just cannot get into this band no matter how much I want to, this track is certainly fun and well performed, but it just doesn't suck me in. Idk. 3.2 You've Changed Last 3 and a half minutes or so of this are stunning. Unfortunately pieces of the rest seem to be so bent on their earnest nature that it comes off as a bit melodramatic which is a qualm I often have with this genre so its probably just my taste. Still, some fantastic sections. 4.0
JustJoe. 04.26.18	* Esbern Snare -- "You've Changed" ~ [3.8]
BAG 04.26.18	romancing a stranger is like a hard 1.9, production is HORRIBLY sterile, vocals sound staright out of a disney movie, instrumentally technically proficient but uninspired, not good at all
anat 04.26.18	blind 3.8 romancing a stranger not available in my country you've changed 3.2
Egarran 04.26.18	Blind - It's my favorite song by them. 3.5 Romancing a Stranger - Imo there's something sterile about this kind of music, but this was fun. 4.0 You've Changed - Probably 7 minutes too long. 3.4
Aberf 04.26.18	23 > "Black Wasp" Nothing remarkable tbh. Just chill. \| 3.0 24 > "TV on the Radio" Sounds good, but not my thing. \| 3.1
ArsMoriendi 04.26.18	"You've Changed" Wow this is boring as hell. They tried to make an epic though, so a generous: 2.8/5
bgillesp 04.27.18	26- 3.6
JustJoe. 04.27.18	* Stan Getz -- "The Girl From Ipanema" ~ [4.3]
Papa Universe 04.27.18	Y'all feel sceptical of a poppy post-rock, huh? You've changed.
bgillesp 04.27.18	Eh, ya know
Egarran 04.27.18	Yeah I'm into jazz prog now.
bgillesp 04.28.18	sadbump
JustJoe. 04.28.18	POST YOUR RATINGS YOU HEATHENS. Much love to you all. 💗
ArsMoriendi 04.28.18	"The Girl From Ipanema" If you didn't already know this song before today, then you must've never heard any bossa nova before lol. This is the most famous piece in the entire genre. It's catchy and fun, but also mellow and sexy. I prefer tropicalia (which is this kind of music + psychedelic pop) honestly, but pure bossa nova is still so pleasant and this hits that mark in the best way. 4.8/5
bgillesp 04.28.18	Haha, yeah that sums it up Ars. Figured this song would be the most likely to get people to check this stuff out more though even though some others from Getz may be a tiny bit better
Drifter 04.28.18	Almost to the 30th. I expect a solid 2.8 average
bgillesp 04.28.18	Lazy Drifter
JustJoe. 04.28.18	* Third Eye Blind -- "Blinded" ~ [4.2]
ArsMoriendi 04.28.18	"Blinded" This sounds like like I'm With You era Red Hot Chili Peppers. Blech. Except the end, which is even worse. 2/5
Egarran 04.28.18	The Girl From Ipanema - Not my thing, but ofc it's quality. 3.7 Blinded - Soundtrack music to a movie I don't really want to see. 2.5
anat 04.28.18	the girl from ipanema - 3.8 blinded - 3.0
bgillesp 04.28.18	I am in first and second for April :) I'll check today song when I get back into town
bgillesp 04.29.18	3.7 today
JustJoe. 04.29.18	* Xploding Plastix -- "Funnybones & Lazylegs" ~ [4.7]
Skoop 04.29.18	The Girl From Ipanema Unfortunately its a rainy one today so I don't suppose I'm getting the full tropical effect this song brings forth but nevertheless it is quite pleasant background music. 3.9 Blinded Used to think this song was ok but it honestly was never a favorite of theirs. And what do you know it hasn't aged well either 2.6
bgillesp 04.29.18	4.2 for Eg's rec. Jamming he whole album since it was on my trip hop journey list anyway
anat 04.29.18	funnybones and lazylegs - 3.2
ArsMoriendi 04.30.18	"Funnybones & Lazylegs" Very backgroundy. 3/5
Egarran 04.30.18	That can't be right. The beats enthrall and demand attention. Listen again.
JustJoe. 04.30.18	* 50 Cent -- "Many Men (Wish Death)" ~ [4.3]
Papa Universe 04.30.18	So do I just keep on handling the MAY SOTD as well?
bgillesp 04.30.18	Nobody else wants it so yeah. I might can relieve you after that ghough
Drifter 04.30.18	Joe knows
Papa Universe 04.30.18	or does he?
JustJoe. 04.30.18	That song/albums is clutch as fuck, I know that much.
Drifter 04.30.18	Hard 5
ArsMoriendi 04.30.18	"Many Men" Eh... not the worst thing. 2.9/5
bgillesp 04.30.18	3.5

Egarran 05.01.18	Many Men I really started this with good intentions, but 1:45 into it, the nausea became so strong I had to stop it. But I don't want to hurt Drifter, he's a fragile flower and a bad rating for this would ruin all of May for him. 5/5
neekafat 05.01.18	15. “February”: 3.6 16. “A7bsence”: 4.1 17. “Imperial Smoke Town”: 3.5 18. “Ass Crack Bandit”: 3.1 19. “Don’t Touch My Bikini”: 2.9 20. “She Brings the Sunlight”: 4.1 21. “Sugar Armor”: 3.6 22. “Blues”: 3.9 23. “Black Wasp”: 3.8 25. “Romancing a Stranger”: 3.7 26. “A Violent Peace”: 4.3 27. “Stan Getz - The Girl from Ipanema”: 3.8 28. “Blinded”: 3.7 29. “Funnybones & Lazylegs”: 4.1 30. “Many Men (Wish Death)”: 3.8
Papa Universe 05.01.18	could you do them averages too?
Drifter 05.01.18	Egarran I don't care lol
neekafat 05.01.18	Oh fuck yeah will do sorry
Papa Universe 05.01.18	too late, I did it already
BlazinBlitzer 05.02.18	I'm fixin to pull a neeka, you ready? Also, comment #420 again! Ichiko Aoba - “Imperial Smoke Town”: After a little time (not this much time, of course; procrastination has killed me this month), I've come to a conclusion. It does what it wants to do very well with beautiful guitar playing and surprisingly diverse vocal passages. This, however, is doomed with a case of trying to do too much with too little, and it starts showing especially towards the end. Very good track, though. 3.6/5 New Average: 3.37 (10 folks) Ben Folds - “Ass Crack Bandit”: It's almost like this guy is trying to make a song but he's not quite there yet. And it's not fun to listen to. 2.3/5 New Average: 2.28 (9 folks) (The original average for this is really screwy lol) The Halo Benders - “Don't Touch My Bikini”: Interestingly boring. 3.0/5 New Average: 2.81 (10 folks) Richard Hawley - “She Brings the Sunlight”: Actually good “stoner (I guess?)” rock. The guitar layering is completely mesmerizing and the keyboards are excellent sprinkles of sounds. Yet at the same time, all of that gets to be a little too much after 7 minutes. The vocalist is also a mixed bag only shining with the music in occasional glimpses. I think I can come back to this one, though, and that accomplishment isn't a pushover by any means. 3.8/5 New Average: 3.51 (10 folks) 7038634357 - “Sugar Armor”: Interestingly boring [2]. 3.0/5 New Average: 3.34 (11 folks) Galileo Galilei - “Blues”: Yeah, a lot of passion was put into this, even if it doesn't deviate that much from the norm. 3.7/5 New Average: 3.46 (9 folks) The Bug - “Black Wasp”: If JustJoe-core was a thing, this would be it. This did nothing for me, though, so I guess this genre has a fairly wide range in quality. Also, The Bug and I haven't been getting along too well, probably because it keeps buzzing in my ear. 2.6/5 New Average: 3.19 (10 folks) TV on the Radio - “Blind”: Here's an intriguing alt rock song with some... R&B vibes? And electronica? With a unique vocalist? Count me in, please. 3.9/5 New Average: 3.72 (now it's 9 folks)
BlazinBlitzer 05.02.18	Kindo - “Romancing a Stranger”: I mean, it's your standard Kindo song, but the average Kindo is better than the average band so I still had fun. 3.6/5 New Average: 3.49 (9 folks) Esbern Snare - “You've Changed”: You know, I like post rock with a little bit of balls, and this definitely has it with the atmosphere and influences it pulls off here, not to mention the great vocalist. However, I was wondering why it practically ends halfway through the track, but now I think it's because of the closer's consistency with the rest of the album. What I'm trying to say is that I bet it works a lot better as the album's closer than it does an individual listen. 3.1/5 New Average: 3.53 (8 folks) Stan Getz - “The Girl from Ipanema”: Cool, cool jazzy stuff. I dig it. 3.9/5 New Average: 4.03 (8 folks) Third Eye Blind - “Blinded”: Though it's not much, I like it as a fun nostalgia piece. 3.4/5 New Average: 3.18 (9 folks) Xploding Plastix - “Funnybones & Lazylegs”: How does this type of drum production even happen? It sounds like the drums were recorded in a studio. Then it changes from a garage-sounding track to 90's trip hop instrumentals with horns and classic pianos. This is one of the most unpredictable songs I've heard in this competition and I'm loving it. 4.3/5 New Average: 3.86 (7 folks) 50 Cent - “Many Men (Wish Death)”: 50 Cent is an absolutely terrible vocalist, but the lyrics and the passable instrumentals try their darnedest to counteract it. They kinda succeed. 2.7/5 New Average: 3.54 (8 folks)
