4/5 A very nice and relaxing song. And of course Blade Runner is awesome.

 

So Much Is Lost - Paradise Lost

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

4/5 Pretty cool, love the guitar in the background. Sounds like something from CSI

 

Speaking of Paradise

 

Paradise - Coldplay

[Cratak]

Pretty good, although somewhat monotonous. I'll give it a 3.5/5.

 

E for Extinction - Thousand Foot Krutch

[Ryuujin]

2/5 - thoroughly unexciting nu metal, although there's worse in the genre so whatever.

"Amaranthine" - Amaranthe

[Cratak]

Not meaning to send one back at you, but 2/5. The mix of the song's genres is an acquired test that I don't have.

 

Mad World - Gary Jules cover version

 

Classic.

[Space Marine]

Did not interest me at all. Did not hate it, did not like it. Meh. 5/10.

 

Chow Mein - Heatbeat

[Replicant]

An average "dance-electronic" (probably not this genre at all, seeing as I'm terrible at recognizing styles and genres) style of song. 3/5

 

Warrior Concerto - The Glitch Mob

[Space Marine]

I used to love TGM, but they have fallen out of favour with me.

 

3/5

 

Ran-D and Redixx - No Cure

[Replicant]

A style of electronic that seems similar to metal/brostep. Interesting, though a bit too much like having someone hyped on energy drinks mumbling in your ear, before listening to speed-up sci-fi sound effects. Still, pretty entertaining. 3.75/5

 

Satelite Anthem Icarus - Boards Of Canada

[Takaru 1111]

2.7/5 Sounds like some kind of mix of electronic and post rock. not really a fan of the electronic part though. Not too bad.

 

Threads - This Will Destroy You.

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

5/5 Very calm and relaxing. A side of rock that no one really sees a lot. I feel like I heard it somewhere before.

 

R U Mine - Arctic Monkeys

[TheSkeletonMan939]

2/5

 

The awful music video should have been embarrassing to them (the band), and the only thing I liked about the song was the occasional catchy beat. Blech!

 

ICON Music - A Bond Forever Strong

[Replicant]

A really, really enjoyable piece of music. Hard to identify what genre, although it seemed oddly ambient in style, with what seemed to be orchestral influences. 4.5/5

 

Honeybee - Steam Powered Giraffe

[Ryuujin]

4/5 - I kind of went in not expecting to like it much, but I found it surprisingly enjoyable, due in part to the music video and the band's unique image.

"Kodou" - Dir en Grey (not the music video, it interrupts the song in several points and contains imagery some may be bothered by)

[Cheshire Cat]

4/5 Really liked it. I've been meaning to check Dir En Grey out for years, and now finally will.

Satelite Anthem Icarus - Boards Of Canada

What are you on man, it's not similar...

 

"Kodou" - Dir en Grey

At first I thought ###### am I watching? Melodramatic Japanese guys whose fashion seems a bit like it's ripped off anime cartoons. 
Is it some kind of rebellion against Japanese culture and life? I wouldn't blame them, life sucks for young people over there.

It sounded very boring.

 

2/5

 

Into Deep (DJ Slideout remix) - Technoboy

[Ryuujin]

Into Deep (DJ Slideout remix) - Technoboy

1. wrong song, Malchior posted after me
2. it's a movement called "visual kei", known for elaborate outfits and theatricality, it has nothing to do with "anime cartoons"
3. your apparent quickness to judge other cultures and lifestyles displays an incredible amount of ignorance and you have my utmost pity.

ANYWAY

2.5/5 - repetitive, aimless, and seemed to drag on although the section with vocals was a refreshing change of pace that kept it from becoming too unbearably dull.

"Stargazer" - Blood Stain Child

Edited by Ryuujin, Jan 20 2013 - 06:00 PM.

[Takaru 1111]

4/5

 

Not sure what to call this kind of music, but I enjoyed it. Though I thought the vocals seemed a little generic, but not too bad.

 

 

Thirty-Six Silos - If These Trees Could Talk.

[Replicant]

4/5. I really like the style of the music, kind of hard to describe. What genre is it classified as?

 

Ghost of Rattman - Aperture Science Psychoacoustics Laboratory

[The Inquisitive Automaton]

4.5/5 - Oh man, do I love this song. I wouldn't say it's perfect, but it's spot-on tonally for a character like Rattman. The first time I listened to it and realised those weren't just random snarling noises, but rather actual frenzied cries, I was both creeped out and enamoured. I like those little touches of sinister in something as (sort of) light-hearted as the Portal series. It also makes for a great soundtrack when reading horror novels.

 

Sun & Moon - TSFH

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I love Two Steps. 110% better than the Kanye West/Gaga junk that kids listen to these days.

 

My only issue with Sun and Moon was that it started out a little too slow. I have the song in FLAC on my computer.

 

A Fire Will Rise - Hans Zimmer (the beginning is slow, but listen to the whole thing. It gets a lot better)

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

Nice song, I remember the part where it comes on. 3/5

 

Feel The Love - Rudimental

[Valenti]

Hmm, it's not really my thing interestingly enough... 3/5 May grow on me later.

 

 

"The Shadow" by BoA.

Edited by Valenti, Jan 26 2013 - 11:52 PM.

[Cheshire Cat]

3/5 Catchy and enjoyable, but not really memorable and feels like it lacks something. Didn't like it as much as the few other BoA songs I've heard, but it's still pretty nice.

 

Up For Sale - The (International) Noise Conspiracy

[Replicant]

Interesting message. The rhythm was the best part, though the lyrics seemed a bit muted, and at moments, it was a bit chaotic. 3.5/5

 

Don't Let's Start - They Might Be Giants

[The Phoenix]

  I liked the song ok, but the video... I honestly don't what to think. 2.5/5

 

My Never - Blue October

Edited by Silverstar, Jan 28 2013 - 08:45 PM.

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

Okay since you didn't put a song I'll put one

 

Hawaiian Air - Friendly Fires

[The Phoenix]

I edited one in, but I'll just use it again.

As for your song, 2/5. It wasn't horrible, just boring to me. No offense.

 

My Never by Blue October

[Ryuujin]

3.5/5 - surprisingly not terrible for a song that's apparently from Call of Duty. kind of repetitive but musically and vocally it's decent.

"Have You Ever" - The Offspring

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

I've heard this song before, but could never find out what it was called. Good beats. 4/5

 

Bom Bom - Sam and the Womp

 

My least favorite song in Forza Horizon

[Ryuujin]

2/5 - standard, generic radio hard rock. not unbearable but not particularly interesting either.

"Force Feedback" - Machinae Supremacy

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

Nice song, really love the guitar. Though I'm not a fan of hard metal music. 3.75/5

 

YOLO - Lonely Island

[The Inquisitive Automaton]

2.5/5 - I've got to say that I'm not all that fond of rap, so as a result the verses weren't entirely to my liking. I'll admit that the chorus was pretty catchy and it's for that reason that it gets a higher vote. In the end, I just found it kind of bland though not unbearable.

 

Cost of the Crown - Mercedes Lackey 

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

I heard this song a few months ago. It's okay, though I do wish it looked better. 3.5/5

 

I have no idea if I already asked for this song: Lonely Boy - The Black Keys

 

If I did, then this song

 

Dream On - Aerosmith

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

It sounds nice, though it makes me feel like I should stop doing something. 2/5

 

Home - Three Days Grace

[Takaru 1111]

3/5

 

never was too fond of this song.

 

This Dying Soul - Dream Theater.

[Legolover-361]

4/5. Great guitar playing. I liked all the different melody and time signature changes; they kept the eleven-minute song from becoming monotonous. The ending was a little abrupt, and I wish the section of the song with the piano weren't so fleeting, but otherwise the song's really good.

"Only Hope" by Switchfoot.

[The Inquisitive Automaton]

3/5 - It was a fairly nice song, and also curiously familiar-sounding. Huh. But still, I'm torn on my thoughts about the singer's voice. It felt too muted and mumble-y, but it's obviously fitting for the tone. Either way, it wasn't bad.

 

Building Steam - Abney Park

[Cheshire Cat]

4/5 Really enjoyed this one. Love the dark cabaret/folk feel of it.

 

Hear You Scream - Hania Lee
