Forced Listening Thread V: Planet of the Bikini Vampire Babes
KharBevNor:
Okay bitches. Lets do this again, and see if we can't keep this one going, because y'all know this is a great idea for a thread.
THE RULES ARE SIMPLE. FUCKING READ THEM.
What will happen is this:
1: I will post a link to a SINGLE SONG I have uploaded, or maybe to a myspace page or a youtube video if I were a lazy ass.
2: The next person will download and listen to the song.
3: This person will review the song, and post one of their own.
4: The next person will review that song, and then post one of their own.
The most basic rule that people seem to ignore, possibly through being cretins is that YOU DO NOT POST A TRACK UNLESS YOU REVIEW THE LAST ONE IN THAT SAME POST. You also DO NOT POST A TRACK WHILST THERE IS ANOTHER ONE IN PLAY. The first person to review each track gets to post the next one. That said THIS IS NOT A RACE. This is an exercise to get you to listen to music outside of your normal comfort zone, review it, say what you think about it, and then impose your own tastes upon others. If it works, then we all get to broaden our musical tastes and have fun. Also, YOU MUST POST A LINK. YOU JUST MUST.
SOME THINGS TO AVOID:
1: Try not to just download and review things you like. Don't download and review any track that you actually know, that defeats the whole point of the thread.
2: Do not take criticisms of music to heart. Discussion is allowed, but don't take bad reviews as a personal insult.
3: It helps to structure these little mini-reviews if you give the track a score out of ten.
4: Actually read this post. If somebody is idiotic enough to break the rules, then do not go along with it. Say YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!, maybe post an amusing macro, and then continue with the true course of the thread. The best way to kill this thread is to have two tracks in play at once.
One additional rule: if the link to the previous track expires, then you may re-boot the thread by posting a new track. Otherwise, just follow the rules.
Okay. First track. This is maybe the best song I have heard in the last year.
My Dying Bride - The Blood, The Wine, The Roses
Caspian:
that song was ok, but if all Dying Bride sounds like this then I'm disappointed. The riffs were ok but overall it was pretty dull, the vocals were quite annoying and it just generally left me feeling flat and bored. Loved the faster break near the end, though.
5/10
Here is my song: Nadja- Stays Demons. Jesu wish they could sound this good.

Dimmukane:
I'm usually not a huge fan of doom-style drone, but that was actually pretty good. More likeable than Sunn-O))) even. 8/10

The song is Land of Sherry Wine and Spanish Horses by Crime in Choir. They have two ex-At The Drive In members in it, but this isn't spaztastic like The Mars Volta. They're more of an old-school prog band than anything else. And the unnecessary sax solo in this song is bitchin'.
As a side note, has anyone else heard of !T.O.O.H.! or Lykathea Aflame? They were my other two choices and I wasn't sure how big they were on these forums.
Bishop138:
Land of Sherry Wine and Spanish Horses, I listened to it and wasn't sure what to expect as I hadn't heard Crime in Choir or At The Drive In before. That said, I had mixed feelings about it, for me it seemed a bit too repeditive in parts and in others the sounds were actually fairly decent, I'd give it another listen but I think it deserves a rating somewhere around 5.5/6 out of 10.
Fear of a Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree.

I was tossing up between a couple different songs, but I figure I can put them up later in the thread.
KvP:
Never heard Porcupine Tree before, and I was expecting something less punchy than this. It's got momentum. Might a little too rock-y for some tastes, if that even makes sense, and the lyrics don't jump out at me. I like it, but then, I could be a sucker. 7.8 out of 10.
