4/5. I wish the song had built up more, but its minimalism makes it even more foreboding, so I can't really complain.

"This Place Is a Prison" by The Postal Service.

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

Nice bass, sounds like if it was featured in CSI:NY. Though I wish the vocals where a bit louder. 4.5/5

 

Headstrong - Trapt

[Replicant]

Pretty good; The instruments were a bit unfocused, often overshadowing the main singer's voice, blocking out the occasional word, but all-around okay.

 

Rhubarb - Aphex Twin

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

Still not 30 days.

 

I really love this song. Makes me feel tranquil and peace, but also like floating in space. At around the 3 minute mark, I loved the sound wave tone, and the soft singing melody. But then I started feeling like a sad man. The beginning melody that was heard was gone, and all that was left was the bass melody. 5/5

 

Momma Sed (Tandimonium Mix) - Puscifer

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Um... it was okay... but there really wasn't any catchy beat or anything to entice the listener to play it again.

 

Moving Shadows - TSFH

[Kyla Toa of Peace]

5/5. Very nice. Loved the violins, which added a bit of suspense to the song.

 

Rock of Ages- Def Leppard

[Ryuujin]

2.5/5 - used to kinda dig these guys for the cheesy 80s novelty factor, but at the end of the day it just feels sort of like boring 80s pop-rock to me. it's not terrible but it's nothing particularly good, either, imo.

 

"Oblivion" - M83 feat. Susanne Sundfør

 

(Soundcloud link because iirc those are allowed? apologies if I'm wrong and they aren't)

[Cheshire Cat]

I'm pretty sure Soundcloud is allowed, and it's actually a great idea using it for this. Makes it a lot easier.

 

3.5/5 Not usually into this kind of stuff, but enjoyed this song quite a bit, although the vocals seem a bit overproduced at times. The outro was very nice though.

 

Bullets Ricochet - Skold

(Soundcloud)

[Valenti]

4/5 Not entirely sure what to think of the vocals, but it's quite nice.

 

"Conquest of Paradise" by Vangelis.

[Kyla Toa of Peace]

*nods approvingly* 5/5. The beginning reminded me of one of Enya's songs. Very nice song.

 

Speaking of Enya... 'Only Time', by Enya.

 

Also, 5/5 for Peach 00's choice of song. Sarah McLachlan's song 'Angel' reminds me of Mac, one of my cats who, at the age of 2 years, died due to a urinary crystal buildup last year. I loved him and I miss him very much. My heart hurts every time I think about it.

[Valenti]

5/5, Only Time is one of those songs that you can't not like.

 

"Improvisation is Magic" by PhillyPu.

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

1/5 I'm sorry but I found nothing in this song that made seem interested. Even as a classical music player, that did not interest me.

 

All The Rage - Funeral For A Friend

 

Clear or uncensored, either way, it sounds good. Clean version can only be found in the Burnout: Revenge Soundtrack.

[Ryuujin]

2/5 - no thanks, generic post-hardcore/emo is not my cup of tea

 

"The Beast" - Sadistik

Edited by Ryuujin, Apr 08 2013 - 10:54 PM.

[The Phoenix]

2.5/5 - The lyrics and tune are OK, but the guy doesn't sound like he's really singing. More like talking.

 

"Rainbow Factory" by WoodenToaster

[Ryuujin]

..have you never heard of rapping before?
 

2.5/5 - even as a member of the fandom, popular brony musicians just don't do much for me, WoodenToaster included. it's not bad but at the same time it's so similar to nearly everything else he's done - and also to a lot of other music that has existed both before and after him, which seems to be the case for a lot of the especially popular artists in the fandom. just feels kind of average to me.

 

"Vow" - Garbage

Edited by Ryuujin, Apr 09 2013 - 10:49 PM.

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

I can see why they call themselves that.

 

2/5 it was good. just take away the vocals.

 

Oblivion - 30 Seconds to Mars

[Ryuujin]

oh GOD aren't you so clever! wow! A+++ wit right there!!

what's the problem with the vocals?

2/5 - boring. the epitome of generic and pretentious radio rock. Jared Leto needs to stick to acting.

"I Do Not Want This" - Nine Inch Nails

Edited by Ryuujin, Apr 09 2013 - 11:31 PM.

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

it seemed like static. i will edit this for the review, also i have heard of nin.

[Neelh]

No music left, so I guess I'll interrupt with Amsterdam by Imagine Dragons to set this off again.

[Geardirector]

Good beat, and the instruments are good too, the lyrics are a tad nonsenical, and I don't like the singer's voice, it sounds like he has a sore throat.

 

4/5

 

Early Bird - Mark Knopfler

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

3/5 it's okay. But i do like the guitar.

 

Mozart vs. Skrillex - ERB

 

No music left, so I guess I'll interrupt with Amsterdam by Imagine Dragons to set this off again.

 

I don't wake up early. Especially at 6.

[Strack]

3/5. meh, could be better. their best one was Tesla VS. Edison, in my opinion.

 

Angels - Owl City

[The Phoenix]

4/5 - I really like Owl City, and this was good. It just wasn't on the same level as Fireflies, in my opinion.

 

Chinter's Will (feat. Sara Kay)

 

The Shy PMV is the best version, BTW.

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

3/5 The song is good overall. It's just the MLP that got in the way that made give this score.

 

The Unforgiven - Metallica

 

At first I thought the song was a classic until I looked it up.

[Ryuujin]

4.5/5 - one of my favorite tracks off the self-titled. I honestly think that album gets way less credit than it deserves - it's everything after it that sucks.

 

"Room 24" - Volbeat feat. King Diamond

[Cheshire Cat]

4/5 Really liked the guitar work and atmospehre, and of course King Diamond is brilliant. Based on this song, I'll probably check their new album out at some point.

 

Sixteen Tons - Tennessee Ernie Ford

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

5/5 Pretty catchy for a song that was made back in black and white.

 

Hemorrhage (In my Hands) - Fuel

[Ryuujin]

2/5 - basic, unimaginative post-grunge that literally sounds like it could've been by a hundred other bands. I'll never understand why this kind of generic cookie-cutter music appeals to so many people. didn't even get halfway through before I felt utterly bored.

 

"Every Sin (Leaves a Mark)" - Engel

[Flaredrick: Forgotten One]

3.5/5 Not my type, but like the music overall. The only thing is the keyboard makes me feel like in a creepy place.

 

Water Place - Yuta Konishi

[Cheshire Cat]

2.5/5 A simple and competent piece, which aims to fulfill a very specific niche. Not much to say beyond that. Don't find it good or bad, just competent at what it intends to do, like hundreds of other pieces that are like it.

Although when I do listen to music more on the 'relaxing' side, I prefer it to have more variation.

 

Gone Cold - Clutch

Edited by -Malchior-, Apr 20 2013 - 07:52 PM.

[ReckoningReckoner]

4/5 Laid back, sexy and awesome.

 

Toe Cutter/Thumb Buster - Thee Oh Sees

[Cheshire Cat]

3/5 Not a big fan of the vocals, but otherwise I enjoyed it.

 

Mysterons - Portishead

[Legolover-361]

4.5/5. The song is actually pretty catchy. I love its eerie mood, and the beat complements the music well. It sounds a bit like a song Radiohead would make, except with a female singer and what sounds like a turntable.

Speaking of Radiohead...

"15 Step" by Radiohead.

[Kazi the Matoran]

1/5. Sorry, but Radiohead's kind of one of my least favorite bands. I tried to get into them years ago, but it just never happened.

 

 

Anyway, how about this?

 

"It's Getting Better (Man!!)" by Oasis

[Geardirector]

4/5, rather enjoyed it.

 

Piano Man, Billy Joel

[Nanosuit User]

1/5 I don't have the remotest idea what the song is

 

Castle of Glass - Linkin Park

[Kazi the Matoran]

3/5. It's ok. I didn't like it as much as Burn It Down, or The Catalyst (off A Thousand Suns). I actually didn't really like the new album. A Thousand suns is my favorite album of Linkin Park's.

 

"The Morning Son" by Beady Eye

[Ryuujin]

3.5/5 - actually ended up liking it more than I expected going in. seems they're trying a bit too hard to sound like The Beatles, though.

 

"If I Had a Heart" - Fever Ray

Edited by Ryuujin, May 10 2013 - 05:42 PM.

[Cheshire Cat]

4/5 Enjoyed it quite a bit and found it fairly mesmerising. Really liked the atmosphere.

 

Roads - Portishead

[The Inquisitive Automaton]

3/5 - I loved the singers voice, which I found to be highly reminiscent of Emi Evans. The song was interesting and the melody itself was quite pleasant and just generally relaxing but unfortunately got just a tad grating with it's repetitive nature. It might definitely be worth a relisten, but I wouldn't call it a favourite.

 

The Circle - Blackmore's Night
