Forced Listening Thread V: Planet of the Bikini Vampire Babes
a pack of wolves:
This started well, I enjoyed the plinking sounds. Xylophone I guess? I'm useless with identifying instruments. Anyway, the beginning is good but then the xylophone goes away and the other instruments are, while nicely structured and everything, totally uninspired. There's no character here, nothing to mark this out as any individual band. They're more a homogenous thing really. Then the vocal kicks in. I'm not sure how I feel about his voice, whether the fact that he seems to think it's bigger than it actually is works for or against him. That would need more listens than this is going to get, because whoever supplied those lyrics made it a moot point. Like the music they're empty, almost wilfully negating anything that would create something individual from this. Basically, this song doesn't exist. It's a composite and can be created by splicing bits of any slow paced American indie rock bands of the past ten years who wear checked shirts a lot and probably have beards.
3/10

This is flawed but overall good. I love the clashing, claning instrumentation, the raw production. Not a big fan of the vocals, though. I mean, I know this kind of music needs these kind of shouted/talked vocals but it still annoyed me intensely. A good song though. 7/10
My song is Manowar's "Sign of the HAmmer", a truly epic power/heavy metal song.

Fuck, I can't review this.
I'm drunk.
a pack of wolves:
I can't do it either, since it's my favourite Manowar song it would defeat the whole point of this thread. Somebody does need to review this and have it determine whether they are a wimp or a poseur and whether or not they will be required to leave the hall soon though.
Ishotdanieljohnston:
Fine. I'll do it- though there's a fuck load of pressure on me now.
Whoa. What a fucking kick ass song. And I really wasn't expecting to love this, not a metal man myself- but this song rapes. I love the soaring build at the start. Really pumps you up- can hear a massive influence on Tenacious D in his voice and lyrics. Just a shit load of 80's hardcore fun. 9/10.
I think this basically sums it up:
And here's mine, after much deliberation- Dondante- My Morning Jacket
