4/5. Iron Maiden is a great classic rock band.

3.5/5 I really like the music, but his voice doesn't feel right with it.

Wishing Eye - Slam Cartel

[pls respond]

2.5/5 it's okay, but the modern rock sound has never really been enjoyable for me. Better than most of the bands playing this stuff, however. Vocals in the chorus are kinda weak too.

All Your Heart - Transit

[The Inquisitive Automaton]

3/5. At first I was enjoying it, but then there was just something about the singers voice that started grating on me. It's still enjoyable though.

Bartholomew - The Silent Comedy

[Cheshire Cat]

4/5 Good stuff, very enjoyable.

Violent New Breed - Shotgun Messiah

[pls respond]

4/5 the slow opening works pretty well, and for whatever reason the bizarre combination of industrial and glam works out in its favor. not digging the vocals so much, but i've never loved the style so the fact that i enjoyed this is at all probably a good thing. guitar solos over mechanical backing is pretty awesome, it turns out.

The Worst Of Both Worlds - Backtrack

4/5 Digging the riff. The song kind of reminds me of Slayer for some reason, except hardcore and more modern. Really like the drums too. Good stuff.

Hammer Of The Gods - Saxon

[pls respond]

3/5 opening riff is pretty killer, sounds like it came straight from the 80s. this is pure classic metal. unfortunately the vocals have always been my issue with the genre, i just can't dig how cheesy they are. track works pretty well overall, but it's not my style. solo is killer though

Oak Square - Make Do And Mend

[Cheshire Cat]

3/5 Has that skate-punk feel and reminds me of stuff I used to listen to, but it's not my thing. Probably wouldn't sit though a whole album. I do like the opening though.

The Hill Of The Seven Jackals - John 5

[Taka Nuvia]

4/5 No voice? Doesn't matter. Not at all. But it's a bit too fast for my tastes, so 'only' 4 out of 5.

Three Wishes - Klaus Nomi

[Valenti]

3/5, Not really into the voice, but it feels nice and jester-y.

"Euphoria" by Loreen.

[thelonewander]

3/5. it's alright, but not my favorite kind of music.

House of the rising sun-Animals

[Cheshire Cat]

4/5 Not what I usually listen to, but I do love this type stuff.

Wild Child - W.A.S.P.

[thelonewander]

5/5. i love the guitar the whole song, and the vocals are good to.

Whereabouts unknown-Rise Against

[pls respond]

2.5/5 never really liked rise against, especially the new stuff. just kinda meh overall. this was the best track on AtR though

Do It Yourself - Punch

[Cheshire Cat]

3.5/5 Short and sweet. Like the instruments, not too fond of the vocals, but they're not too bad.

Perry Mason - Ozzy Osbourne

[Ryuujin]

3.5/5 - one of my favorites off Ozzmosis, but like the rest of that album it's nothing amazing overall.

"Mary Ann's Place" - Volbeat

Edited by Zoidberg, Jun 02 2012 - 12:02 AM.

[Cheshire Cat]

3/5 It's good but it starts to get a bit bland to me after a while, possibly due to the vocals, although the female vocalist was a nice surprise. The riff near the beginning was pretty sweet.

Two Headed Dog (Red Temple Prayer) - Roky Erickson

[pls respond]

2.5/5 intro is really abrasive for a song like this, caught me off guard. it's okay, sounds just like every other dadrock song though. can't say i really dig it. it's just average. not bad, not really great though

Ruined - Sex Positions

[Cheshire Cat]

3/5 Like the intro and the end, but the rest of it seems like typical hardcore and doesn't really hold my interest.

Ballad Of John Henry - Joe Bonamassa

[pls respond]

3.5/5 the main riff is pretty massive, i like it. again with the southern influence, it works well with the song's stomping rhythm. it's too long for it's own good though, should've taken a minute or two off. pretty good though

Derailed - Joyce Manor

Edited by Idunnolol, Jun 03 2012 - 08:37 AM.

[The Inquisitive Automaton]

2/5. At times I can like it, but in general it just sounds messy and cluttered, and the singers voice doesn't help at all.

Follow The Rain - The Murder of My Sweet

Edited by Grimoire Albastru, Jun 03 2012 - 10:43 AM.

[Cheshire Cat]

2.5/5 I don't know, it just feels boring and uninspired to me. There's nothing bad in particular, but as a whole the song it just fails to interest me.

Fear Of The Dark - Iron Maiden

[pls respond]

3.5/5 maiden is classic, but i'm not the biggest fan of traditional heavy metal. still pretty good though

Primal Reflector - Exoskeleton

[Cheshire Cat]

It's Primal Reflecter. That didn't help when looking for it
Anyway, 1.5/5 Pretty dreadful, although at about 30 seconds in I thought they were gonna break into the Iron Man riff. I think I could sit through the album, but wouldn't want to at all.

Bad Place Alone - Alice Cooper

[pls respond]

lol okay, that was troll song anyway because Exoskeleton is actually the worst thing ever. dat awful guitar tone

2/5 never liked Alice Cooper, like at all. it doesn't stick for me, nothing too special. competent, yes, but memorable, naw

Hysteria - Ceremony

[Cheshire Cat]

Eh, I've heard worse.

3.5/5 Pretty good stuff but nothing memorable or special

Ash & Debris - Paradise Lost

[pls respond]

4/5 Paradise Lost is a super great band and of course this track is no exception. not my fav by them but good nonetheless

The Wild Bunch - Fireworks

[Samhain]

5/5, I love it.

Radio Hardcore - Italobrothers.

[pls respond]

2.5/5 not a big dance music fan, but it's catchy and works well enough

1990 - Liferuiner

[Cheshire Cat]

3.5/5 Actually kind of enjoyed this one, but the bridge sounded really out of place.

Juular - Devin Townsend Project

Edited by -Tragic Idol-, Jun 05 2012 - 10:34 AM.

[pls respond]

2/5 i can't stand Devin Townsend, srsly one of the most overrated musicians these days.

The Fall - Empire

Edited by pls respond, Jun 05 2012 - 12:57 PM.

[Transcendence]

2-3/5

I prefer when vocals have some sort of dynamic qualities.If it's shouting/screaming from beginning to end, it's not innovative. Honestly, I think the melodies are better than the actual vocals, but that's just me. I should add that I'm very picky about music, so ignore my opinion if you want

Power & Control - Marina & The Diamonds

Edited by No Light, Jun 06 2012 - 03:28 PM.

[Samhain]

3.5/5, a little more repetitive then I care for, at least for this song, but very catchy and I overall liked it.

Gortoz A Ran (Elegia Remix) - Denez Prigent (note that you will not find this in most public places, you can find it on itunes, or amazon mp3, if you don't want to pay money then you can listen to it on Spotify, mog, or rdio, it is worth looking for in my opinion).

[Transcendence]

4/5

Very soothing. No offensive elements there at all. The only thing I'll have to be picky about are the male vocals. I'm allergic! Haha no, it's just that I like female vocals a whole lot more. But I like the song and I like that it's in a foreign language, makes you focus only on the soul and atmosphere of the song.

Breath Of Life - Florence + The Machine

Edited by Vespertine, Jun 07 2012 - 05:09 PM.

[pls respond]

2/5 not diggin it. never liked songs that, with the focus on vocals and instruments taking the background. just not my cup of tea

Engine 45 - The Ghost Inside

[The Inquisitive Automaton]

4/5 - I'm not usually a fan of screaming, but I actually enjoyed this quite a bit. Would listen again.

The Promise - Globus

[pls respond]

4/5 wasn't really feeling it at first, but at around the 2 minute mark when the industrial beat came in it got more my thing. still not the biggest fan of vocals in this style though. huge soaring vocals aren't my thing. the drum beat actually works pretty well against the orchestral backings. not liking the spoken words stuff either. this sounds like something that could easily back up a movie soundtrack. i didn't mind the length that much either. usually longer songs have to be exceptional to hold my interest.

The Behemoth - The Acacia Strain

[Samhain]

@ Grimoire Albastru: 5/5, I love it, absolutely beautiful.

@ pls respond: 3/5, not terrible, kind of repetitive which I am not too fond of here, but it is still very good.

Fin - Anberlin

Edited by Proud Stigma, Jun 07 2012 - 08:17 PM.

[Terminus24]

3.5/5
Took a couple of minutes, but I like the guitar and vocals a good bit.
