Trifolium
03.31.21 | I'm going to do a mega good sing along song from NL:
Anouk - Nobody's Wife (from Together Alone)
https://youtu.be/3RaHTDNude4
OOOOOOOH YEAAAAH!!!!! Best song ever. Seriously. It even has the obligatory Air Guitar solo and options for more air guitar throughout! |
Scheumke
03.31.21 | God I love this theme!!!!
Alright ima do Shinedown - Bully (album = Amaryllis) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7NVxAMQn_I)
I can't listen to this song without involuntarily singing along. Yeah it's cheesy hard-rock, but I have a soft spot for this one. ALL YOU'D EVER BE, IS THE FADING MEMORY OF A BULYYYYYYYY |
Scheumke
03.31.21 | Owh nice one Trif! Already singing it in my head lol |
Trifolium
03.31.21 | Ahahahah yesssss! Me too! |
garas
03.31.21 | Scorpions - "Big City Nights"
Try this if you want to have fun in East-Europe style! This band in particular always reminds me to the summer, because I've heard it on the radio/playlists during grilling, drinking, on the beach etc. And this is mega catchy. Countertenor is not my territory, but I'm always trying to sing along. |
ReefaJones
03.31.21 | Don McLean - Vincent
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGIUnZLr5T4

Mythodea
03.31.21 | I'm returning to this one once again! I have song or two in mind, will post later |
ArsMoriendi
03.31.21 | "Shake Hands with Beef" by Primus (from The Brown Album)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDLCAeFoC0U
PULL OUT THE CANNON BOYS, STEAL US SOME WINE, PUFF TIJUANA SMALLS, SHAKE HANDS WITH BEEF. Apparently, it's about vegetarians who occasionally cheat and eat meat. Damn is the chorus catchy. |

03.31.21 | Fellow Arsenal fan, life is suffering, I don't recommend it |

RunOfTheMill
03.31.21 | Hello I haven't participated in like 2 years, but I gots a rec and will listen this month
Fishbone (from The Reality of my Surroundings)
"Sunless Saturdays" (RunoftheMill)
https://youtu.be/0B61XAN2Ujw
A song about depression that cures your depression while it plays. A super cool track to sing along to by a crazy talented band. Embrace those WOOOOOOAHS and chase them clouds away. |
nolerthebowler
03.31.21 | with a theme like this, I feel like it'd be off-brand to pick anything but
SILK SONIC - LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adLGHcj_fmA
In all seriousness, there's a reason I've been (not so subtly) nudging people towards this song. The energy here is utterly captivating. The production is, and I don't say this lightly, one of the greatest examples of modern sound and mixing put to record.
And its sing-a-long value?? Oh man, just listen to the song. I HIGHLY recommend the music video, does a great job of contextualizing the retro instrumentals. |

03.31.21 | Good theme! Could have gone a number of directions, but I'm going with something tasty. Who ate the summer cannibals? Ate! Eat, eat!
Patti Smith - Summer Cannibals from the LP Gone Again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3YVKTxTOgU
This song right here, can't listen to it without shouting along to this chorus so obviously had to go with it. Super fun idea for a theme, looking forward to checking all the tracks!

SlothcoreSam
03.31.21 | I'm gonna rec something that fits last month's theme as well.
Dragon (NZ) - Rain
off the album Body and the Beat.
https://youtu.be/jM7RcgZ1pLE |
ArsMoriendi
03.31.21 | "You'll Never Walk Alone"
This was chill. Very classic old pop. Not much else to say about this one honestly but the voice is nice.

Check me and the high school crew radicalizing ourselves via sonic osmosis with the windows down |
DadKungFu
03.31.21 | That Mischief Brews song brings up some serious nostalgia for me. Erik's death gutted me, even though I didn't hear about it til a year or two later. |
porcupinetheater
03.31.21 | For real, that one drained me hearing the news. Band will always have a special place for me |

03.31.21 | We should introduce the fun-o-meter for this round. Like giving a second rating to just how much fun did you have. |

farmerobama
03.31.21 | The Stranglers - Golden Brown, it's a kinda obvious choice, but when I think of one song I can't resist singing along it's this one. |
anatelier
03.31.21 | @yoyomancuso, has it ever occurred to you that i might be your dad? |
budgie
03.31.21 | i was set on recommending a catchy NWOBYM track which is such a fun genre to sing along with, but noticed dedex you haven't rated a single misfits record. and the misfits discog is the most fun, catchy, singalong material ever crafted
so anyway, last caress - misfits
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuzA4U1njO8 |
SlothcoreSam
03.31.21 | Yo Pangea, Casey, was the first song that came to my mind when I read the theme. But gates is a close second. |
dedex
03.31.21 | @budgie: I haven't rated but I discog run'd 'em loooooooooong ago!
alrighty, this is starting to shape up quite nicely
@Sloth: ME AND CASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY |

04.01.21 | Hmmmm I haven't dropped a GOAT on these lists in ages - can you swap MCR for Boris - Feedbacker Pt. 3? Cannot think of anything that makes me want to scream into the void harder than that final minute, p much the peak of rock music right there. Feel kinda bad for cutting off Pt. 2, but the real ones itt are gonna jam the whole thing anyway |

04.01.21 | @noler insta 5 my man! I've been jamming that song for days. SMOOTH LIKE A NEWBOAARRNN. Not unlike the song.owh dedex can I still change mine? Found a better one that I'm absolutely in love with since yesterday. |
Scheumke
04.01.21 | If so, please change mine to Dirty Loops - Next To You (album = Phoenix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV9uCmlMQ1c
I've heard this for the first time yesterday and holy crap I'm in love. I've been jamming it every hour because I just can't get enough of it. The musicality of these guys is absolutely ludicrous and its catchy as all get out. Yes it's a 7+ minute pop/funk/gospel song but damn. Think lovebaby of Michael Jackson & Stevie Wonder but dial the musicality up to 11. |
fogza
04.01.21 | 1. You'll never walk alone - I think you need to like football to really get this song, so a bit lost on me. 3.0 |
Pheromone
04.01.21 | YNWA - Gonna have to take my recent hatred of liverpool as a team out of the context here. It's a gorgeous song and always has been. Gerrard walking out to it on his last home game, an emotional chorus for a football legend. Then, later on, on his last away game where Liverpool promptly lost 6-1 to stoke. Beautiful. Love football. 4.5/5
|
fogza
04.01.21 | Blurb for 23:
It's a walk of shame song with a singalong come-on for the chorus, and it gets all over the top messy kitchen sink at the end. It ain't brain surgery but I like it. |
Divaman
04.01.21 | Gerry and the Pacemakers - Hmm. Rogers and Hammerstein cover. And I'm a musicals lover. But I've never been all that into Carousel. I might feel differently if I had more of a thing for British football. But I don't. So the best I can do is a 3. |
dedex
04.01.21 | Alrighty, rec changed for Scheumkex, blurb added for fogzex, and yay Pheromonex, booo Divamex, garex and fogzex |

04.01.21 | Hey, that's what you get with a Rogers and Hammerstein cover. What's next, Skrillex covering "Happy Talk"? |

04.01.21 | I added this morning's scores to the worksheet, but could someone who knows how fix it so that the averages, count and standard deviation include cols AL through AS. I only know how to do that cell by cell, but there must be an easier way. Thanks. |

04.01.21 | Youāll Never Walk Alone - This is a great song, but it gives me the feeling that the melody and lyrics have kinda transcended this recording. Absolutely a track I could sing arm-in-arm with the lads over a pint, but when I put my critical thinking cap on its more of a 3.2. |

04.01.21 | okay, for my day, the 6th, i am recommending the futureheads' cover of kate bush's hounds of love: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awjE92YZeEQ

04.02.21 | 1. Youāll Never Walk Alone - wasnāt expecting to like this as much as I did. Heard it while walking home from work which was a good coincidence. [3.7] |
Pangea
04.02.21 | 1. You'll Never Walk Alone - Classic singing along track. 4.0
2. Feedbacker Pt.3 - Noisy goodness, minus -0.5 for the sudden cut at the end. 3.0 |
RunOfTheMill
04.02.21 | 1. You'll Never Walk Alone - awesome, an oldie that shakes up the formula. Doesn't quite have a chorus but that climax about halfway through is super, I could see myself screaming this at wedding. 4.0
2. Feedbacker Pt.3 - This is heavy as fuck m/ gotta listen to the whole thing now. 4.2 |
Divaman
04.02.21 | Boris - Argh! A wall of cacophony! Jesus God, this is awful. What did we do for you to inflict this on us? Where's the sing along part? Almost 6 minutes long, too. Alright, it's finally quieted down a bit. Oh, an actual vocal. Swell, now that my ear drums are blown out. Geez, they weren't kidding when they called this "Feedbacker", were they? I've had more pleasant dental surgery. I guess the sing along is when you scream along with this poor bastard trying to make himself heard over the guitar. 1.7 |
ieatbabies795
04.02.21 | 1. Youāll Never Walk Alone- Cool oldies song, never heard this one before but it gave pleasant memories of oldies being played during my childhood. Fun track 4.1/5
2. Feedbacker Pt.3 - Sheeeeeesh I would give this a lower rating but atleast i found the noise interesting during the first 30 sec, before I realized nothing interesting happens during the rest of the song. And whereās the sing along?! 1.0/5
[Edit] lowered my rating for no.2 |
nolerthebowler
04.02.21 | 2. Feedbacker pt. 3 - The guitar kinda rips and the drums are raucous as hell, but shit these guys need to learn the beauty of restraint. Perhaps this was designed to be THE heavily distorted feedback album, like the album people direct you to if you ask, "Rec me music that will make my ears bleed." But, since that's not my cuppa, this gets 2.1. |
fogza
04.03.21 | 2. Feedbacker Pt. 3 - Starts quite promisingly, with a tense, cool buildup. I think at about 3 mins the vocals start and it's kinda downhill from there, dude sounds like a water mongoose at the end. Anticlimactic and dare I say not very sing-along? 2.8 |
fogza
04.03.21 | 3. The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn - Pretty much the definition of sing-along. Shouldn't really be allowed to pick something so obvious, but since I love the Pogues, I'll forgive it. 4.3 |

04.03.21 | 2. Feedbacker, Pt. 3 - the noise and distortion are actually kinda neat, but hard for me to imagine someone singing along to this tho. Concur with whoever said the first part of the song is the most interesting. I actually think it might have benefitted from not having any vocals. Drums are slammin' tho. [3.4]
3. The First Part - I'm not really a fan of the dude's voice. The rest of the song is fine but not really anything special. [2.5] |

Divaman
04.04.21 | In Her Own Words - Driving electric guitar. Ooo, it is indeed pop punk. That's good with me, but it means many (most?) of the others will hammer it. I'll giver her a 3.2, though. |
Divaman
04.04.21 | Say Dedex, as the moderator for April, what was the official song we were supposed to review for April 3? Phero wanted to change it to the Pogues, and I changed it on the worksheet. But apologies if I overstepped, because I just realized you've still got Superchunk on the list above. It's your month, you get to make the call. |
Divaman
04.04.21 | Just in case - Superchunk - mid-tempo guitar. Fairly high-pitched vocals. Video of a family playing football, then some teens dancing and kissing the camera. Kind of catchy. Don't think I've ever listened to Superchunk before. Video ends with chocolate chip cookies. I'd like chocolate chip cookies. 3.3 |

1. Liverpool is my favorite english team and I love to sing this, great song 4.0
2. Love Boris, Feedbacker is great noisey drone, good part as well 4.2, in terms of singing along it doesn't motivate me tho 2.0
3. Irish folk is always a good choice for singing along and this a neat track 3.8
4. First half is really obnoxious, the second half it gets a lot better with emotion put in the vocals, but still not my piece of cake 2.7 |
ArsMoriendi
04.04.21 | "Feedbacker 3"
Aptly named song. That lead guitar reminds me of Billy Corgan's guitar style on Siamese Dream. I feel like that comment is gonna offend someone, but I don't mean it as a bad thing. The bass sounds weirdly muted here? The vocals don't give me that vibe though or the drums. This is pretty cool. The guitar style changed a bit and is no longer Corganesque. This stays interesting throughout. Not sure what's drone or metal about this honestly, it's not very metally or droning?
4/5
"The First Part"
I hate these vocals. They're so whiny. Is this pop punk? Indie punk says Wikipedia. The instrumentation is fine, nothing standing out about it. How is "Feedbacker Part 3" doing poorly, but this has a highish score? This is so much worse. I'm not even annoyed by this, just bored.
2.5/5
"I Would Sit Alone in Silence"
Oh god, this is so much worse than the last one. THE ONE THING I NEEEEDEEDD lol. I ate the vocals, the guitar, the drums, and I would hate the bass, but it's inaudible. This is insufferable. How the hell did the song just get 10x worse in the last minute? It was already awful! Sorry Jesper, I feel mean now.

04.04.21 | "The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn"
I've actually heard an entire album by these guys a few times: If I Should Fall from the Grace of God. I don't remember it much, but it wasn't for me. This is lively and fun. Not really my thing, but there are elements here I can appreciate like the dynamics, bass, and accordion.
3/5 |
fogza
04.04.21 | 4. I Would Sit Alone in Silence - There's a part in Dune where Paul Atreides drinks the poisonous Water of Life, and through it he is able to access all the memories of his genetic line. I feel like this lead singer has done the same thing, and accessed the exact snotty pop emo/punk voice that's been used for the last 15 years. Surprised this was a 2016 release. 2.0 for me, sorry! |
fogza
04.04.21 | If the Superchunk song is still on here, then I give that one a 3.6. |

1. You'll Never Walk Alone - Love the vocals on this thing, and the strings here are really complementary in a grand way. Definitely dig this. 4.2
2. Feebacker 3 - So I've actually never listened to Boris before so this should be interesting. Abrasive, convoluted, some clean dynamics, full... yeah I dig it. Definitely need to check more from Boris I guess. 4.5
3. The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn - Not even sure what to say about this aside from this is fun... yeah it's fun, I like it. 3.8
4. I Would Sit Alone In Silence - I remember checking these dudes out at the end of 2019 with their last album... never checked their other stuff. I've always enjoyed the vocals, but overall this is pretty standard pop punk. 3.3
5. Salt, Peppa and Spiderella - Pretty solid track, I do enjoy the dual vocals goin on here. The progression here is super fun and has a great climax. 3.9 |
Divaman
04.05.21 | Johnny Foreigner - Punky guy and regular girl vocals. More percussion than actual music. Oh, now the rest have kicked in. They must have gotten to the studio late. Good of them to come. Fairly simple, not much there. 3.1 |

04.05.21 | "Salt, Peppa and Spiderella"
This dude's got a thick English accent. This went from kinda meh to kinda loud. This would fit on a playlist with stuff by The Killers I guess. The highest-rated comment on this video is "stayed for the real drums" and I gotta say it's very telling.

04.07.21 | 6. Hounds of Love - I was hoping to rate this today when Anat wasn't watching. Yeah, I dunno, it's not bad or anything, but it doesn't make me feel the things - it reminds me of the Smiths for some reason and it's hard for me to get past that. 3.2
7. Nobody's Wife - This makes me feel so old, it's SOOOOO 90's. Anouk is clearly giving it 100%, but I can't help unfairly comparing it to Beth Hart's debut, which was my go-to for this sound circa 1997. 3.0 |

04.07.21 | "Hounds of Love"
Bro you could've picked the original by Kate Bush and raked in a high score, what are you doing? This is lame. It sounds like a boring 2000s "post-punk revival" song. Heavy English accent squealing while singing isn't my thing. Kate Bush's is like a 4.8.
2.4/5
"Nobody's Wife"
90s female radio pop alt rock. The background music's pretty forgettable, but she can belt out some notes. I respect this more than I like it, but it's not boring or bad, so uh.
3.3/5 |
Divaman
04.07.21 | Anouk - Some nice acoustic guitar to start. Decent female vocal (although she's a little Alannisy for me). Then the song rocks out a pick before getting acoustic again. Pretty good. I like acoustic Anouk better than rocky Anouk, though. 3.4 |
rifkadm
04.07.21 | 3. The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn - this is better than what was here originally. It at least sounds like a drunk karaoke sing along song. I too heard a whole Pogues album and it wasnāt much my thing but this is fine. Still, I probably wonāt revisit it but it can get me upbeat at a bar. [3.6]
4. I Would Sit Alone in Silence - ahh blast back to the early 2010s and late 2000s, at least in terms of style. I donāt hate it but I donāt love it. [2.8]
5. Salt, Peppa and Spiderella - this one is a little similar to the last one but I prefer it for some reason. It definitely is easier to sing along too. [3.2]
6. Hounds of Love - a Kate Bush song in the style of the last two songs. I mean, whether it is a cover or an original itās still a good sing along song. I do prefer the original though and consider this a sub-par cover, so I canāt give this above a 4. [3.8]
7. Nobodyās Wife - canāt relate, wonāt sing along to this basic song. [2.1] |

04.08.21 | 8. Next to You - ok this is - very - cheesy but i dig it lol. Strong MJ vibes. 3.4 |
fogza
04.08.21 | 8. Next to You - Yeah, I would normally skip this within 10 or 15 seconds. I'm sure it's technically very impressive but to me it sounds like they gave some session musos free studio time. This tone and sound seriously negs my vibe, I'm not kidding. Why is it 8 minutes? 1.3 |
nolerthebowler
04.08.21 | hmm I prefer my Spotify playlist |
nolerthebowler
04.08.21 | Next to You - oh boy. this track fascinates me. This is a shining, brilliant example of why technical ability =/= good music. And I donāt mean simply the ability the play fast, Iām talking enjoyable intricate melodies, catchy syncopation, a godly vocalist, funky rhythms, everything a band needs to create undeniably good music. On paper.
So why does this, in practice, have me wanting to throw myself from a 4th story window? At first, I wanted to say inspiration, but thatās too easy. If you look deep enough you can see flashes of inspo in this track, somewhere hiding behind the glee choir in the hook.
No, what this track is missing is S T Y L E. No matter how many times the track subverts on itself, everything still features the stylistic equivalent of Postās Grape Nuts cereal. Itās so bland, so inhuman. Without anything interesting or relatable to latch onto, a track like this almost feels mocking. Itās like fogza said, this song ruins your vibe. And why is that? Because their vibe sucks. [1.7] |

OK, seriously, let's start...These guys smile too much. Hmm. Not what I was expecting. Slow-to-mid-tempo. Very poppy vocal. Kind of sanitized funk. Damn, I just want to slap these guys.

04.11.21 | "Next to You"
Vocals aren't really my thing. This is kinda lame, especially the production. It's trying to be 80s pop, but has the empty compressed sound in modern music that I kinda hate. Okay, that's only half true. It works sometimes, but not here. Drums at the end sound metal, which clashes with the soul-pop that everything else is doing.
2/5
"Big City Nights"
80s hair metal? Oh god, I hate this. It's shreddy but in the lamest way.
2/5
"Vincent"
Pretty folk music. Honestly, much more palatable than "American Pie." I know it's about Vincent Van Gogh, but him calling Vincent beautiful feels romantic. Simple, but pretty folk with orchestral strings.
4/5 |
fogza
04.11.21 | 11. Shake Hands with Beef - Never got into Primus, I wasn't sure if they were supposed to be a comedy band. If a band is incidentally funny then it's ok, but if it's your main selling point then you need to be funnier. Anyway, I genuinely liked this for about a minute, but then it got a bit repetitive. I get what is singalong about it, but I think it would have been cooler if the second time they run through the chorus, that backing vocal is present the whole way through, and not just on the end line. 3 |
Divaman
04.11.21 | Primus - I've never really gotten into these guys, in spite of my affection for them creating and performing the theme for South Park. Their music has always sounded inside out to me. OK, here we go. Chunky bass sound. Mediocre vocal. Yeah, they still don't do anything for me. 2.2
Say Ars, I see you're clearly a fan of these guys - you've rated most of their albums pretty high. Have you ever listened to Babe the Blue Ox? You might like them as well. I find them a little more palatable than Primus, because they occasionally stray into something a little more melodic. But they also play a lot of stuff in that sort of inside-out style, and although they were sort of contemporaries of Primus, I always thought they were influenced by them. You might want to give them a shot. |
DadKungFu
04.11.21 | Sunless Saturday - I had really no idea what to expect from this band, other than they were kind of ska, sort of? This ended up sound surprisingly proggy to me, and somehow both dated to the late 80s early 90s kind of alternative rock sound and also really fresh and unique. Really pleasantly surprised, and I want to get into more of their discography, but this track might not have the most staying power.
4/5
Leave the Door Open is a really tasty track and I usually have zero interest in this kind of thing. Production is impeccable and Bruno Mars is at his absolute best here doing his motown revival thing. Definitely going into my summer rotation.

04.11.21 | " I wasn't sure if they were supposed to be a comedy band. If a band is incidentally funny then it's ok, but if it's your main selling point then you need to be funnier."
The main selling point is the instrumentation, their goofy lyrics are deff just an accompaniment. I wouldn't say Primus usually makes me laugh either, but the lyrics fit the music's goofy set up |
nolerthebowler
04.11.21 | Shake Hands w/ Beef - That low end crunch on the guitar/bass is fuckin gnarly. The song itself doesnāt really do much tho. I like the solo round the 3 minute mark. [3.3] |

04.12.21 | Summer Cannibals - Man, this was nice in its own right but the whole time I was just reminded of how incredible Smith is at her best and how this isn't quite that. If it was another artist doing this I'd probably rate it higher, but I can't listen to it without thinking that she's still capable of more.
3.6/5
B-52s is best in small doses and this is just the right amount. It's got everything lovable in the B-52s, the wavery oohs, the cheesy organs, the general goofy-weirdness of the whole thing. I fucking love it.

04.12.21 | Not a problem. Some of us try to actually do a song a day. Many of us like to let it lag for awhile and then catch up all at once. And a few of us like to serve as advance scouts and get ahead in their listening. They're all fine. |

04.12.21 | Fishbone - Don't people choke on those? Just saying. OK, concentrate, me. Quickly strummed guitar. Then percussion and keyboards kick in. Surprisingly poppy (which isn't unwelcome), but still rocky. These guys sound pretty happy. Not really my thing, but not bad either. (Not a fan of the cheesy keyboards, though.) 3.2 |

04.13.21 | 13. Bruno is a great singer and performer, .Paak I do not know really. They both clearly have a penchant for retro pastiche. The lyrics veer off into SNL parody territory and the whole thing is a bit too lurv slow jam for me, but Bruno sounds fire on the pre-chorus. Harmless fun I guess. 3 |

04.14.21 | The dB's - Fast-paced strummed guitar and percussion. Some tasty picking. Is that a guy singing? I guess so. Hmm. An '80s band. Why have I never heard of these guys? And they're a NYC band, too. For shame. They remind of a faster, higher-pitched Gin Blossoms. Guess they weren't really going with the prevalent sounds of the time. 3.5 |
nolerthebowler
04.14.21 | Black n White - Fun song! Why tf isnāt it on Spotify š”. These guys sound like they did stimulants, I can hear their hands shaking. Not the biggest fan of jingle-jangle pop, but this has enough charm and energy to give it a [3.7] |

04.15.21 | "Sunless Saturdays"
Weird production. This isn't my thing, but it's not bad. Very "loud upbeat alt-metal."
3/5
"Leave the Door Open"
Very modern R&B pattern-wise. It's twinkly and basic. Nothing really special or honestly interesting about this one. WAIT it's the #1 single in the US right now? Weird, I guess it's better than the schlock that's usually #1. Well, boring pop is better than terrible pop, but why not good pop? It's Uptown Funk all over again.
3/5
"Black and White"
Very 60s influenced despite being from the 80s. Although it sounds like it belongs on a Hard Day's Night, there are some musical decisions that are too modern for that. Like a weird 80s/pre-Rubber Soul Beatles hybrid. Simple and fun.
3.7/5 |

Nice lead riff so far. Her voice is still cool as ever. I like this. Maybe I'm biased because I already love Patti Smith, but yeah. That's a very catchy refrain too!

04.16.21 | 16. Party Out of Bounds - Ok, this has maybe 20 seconds of singalong potential. The B-52's are usually fun in small doses (as per dadkungfu) but this never really gets going. Party in clearly delineated bounds! 2.5 (sorry norma!) |

04.17.21 | Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades - To continue the Spinal Tap quotes: Brand New are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry. I'm not gonna pretend I don't still jam this song once in a while though, 3.7 |
Divaman
04.17.21 | Brand New - I've always felt that these guys sounded very different from album to album. Let's see if I remember this song. Slow percussion and quiet guitar. Call and response vocals. Kind of a serial killer vibe. It's OK, but I liked them better as they got older. 3.2 |

04.17.21 | Summer Cannibals - damn lol this sucks. Iāve been pretty obsessed with āPiss Factoryā lately, that song is so damn cool. This is pretty dumb tho haha. Dislike the chord progression/guitar tone too. [2.1] |

04.18.21 | Dragon - Basic rock beat w/synths in background. A little harmony on the chorus. I like the choruses, but the verses are very vanilla. 3.0 |
rifkadm
04.18.21 | 8. Bully - Iāve heard this song liveā¦.I think. I canāt remember, tbh. Basic 2000s rock that becomes a sing along hit for no reason. [2.3]
9. Big City Nights - feel like a lot of these songs are all in the same vein of rock, but this one is at least way more easy and fun to sing along to than the last. [2.8]
10. Vincent - a pretty song thatās nostalgic about Vincent Van Gogh. He does have a great voice and can see someone singing karaoke to this in a laid back lounge. [3.3]
11. Shake Hands With Beef - bass line as always rules in a Primus song. Odd choice for a sing along tho. I mean, the melody is great but lyrically and vocally this is an otherwise boring song. I would be more excited to see someone cover the bass on this than if someone were to sing a vocal cover. Maybe Primus has better songs that show off the lead singerās vocal abilities, or better songs in general. Still a decent song tho so it kinda gets a bit of a pass. [3.4]
12. Sunless Saturday - another rock jam that is musically fun. Could definitely see people singing this loudly at an Irish bar as well. Still kinda forgettable tho. [2.7]
13. Leave the Door Open - oof, cringe. Idk how this can be a hit in 2021 with lyrics as fuckboish as this. He was creepy when he expected his gf to jump in front of a train for him just like he says he would for her and he is still creepy now with his sonic equivalent if āu up?ā Instrumentally this song is ok, but I think Iāll pass on the song version of thirsty fuckboi blowing up the message request folder of girls on FB, IG and any other social media platform. [1.7]
14. Black and White - I would like to correct this song and say that I do like this at least a little. Lol. [3.2]
15. Summer Cannibals - this is a great song, and also seems super fun to sing along to! Definitely one of my favorites on this list. Lyrically interesting and Patti gives an engaging vocal performance with variation and charisma. It also sounds like a summer song too - like the theme is Halloween-ish but it definitely suits the summer season and weather. A summer horror! :3 [4.8]
16. Party Out of Bounds - Oooh very retro! Thereās hardly any vocals in this but would be really fun to sing with a group of friends. Solo karaoke wise though this would be weird. Actually this could be a fun duet too. Either way, whether to sing along to or just listen, itās fun. [3.3]
17. Sic Transit Gloria - meh I donāt care much for this song listening to it as is but I have a hunch I would like it more live. [2.9]
18. Rain - idk what it is about this song. Itās not that different from a lot of the rock songs that were already chosen but maybe itās that bass line that makes it catchy. [3.2]

You gotta admit, this is fun and original as hell. It feels like it's missing something, but I don't know what it could be. Whatever, I like it quite a lot anyway!
3.9/5
"Sic Transit Gloria... Glory Fades"
Admittedly good bass, but gross vocals. Oh god, those backups are even worse. There's awful hardcore screaming in this too, great. Can someone explain to me how this isn't just as bad as Fall Out Boy? +.1 for the okay bassline.

80s Arena rock. Pretty bland stuff. I see why it's catchy though, but this is not my thing at all.

04.19.21 | 19. Liar's tongue - I'm a wimp, like I dig a little post hardcore but this is a bit too straight no chaser hardcore. Dirty sounding and brief. I will bump this rating a bit because it is oddly singalongish. 3 |

04.20.21 | 20. River - There was a moment in mainstream music that the "stomp" sound was in vogue. There was that raggy bone guy and the dork with the hat and his jungle song. This is in that tradition and I shouldn't like it, but it's sexy and makes me a little erect. 4.2 |
