Forced Listening Thread V: Planet of the Bikini Vampire Babes
KvP:
My first thought was "this sounds a lot like System of a Down", and surprise, it's on Serj Tankian's vanity label. I'm not a fan of SOAD. And I wasn't mad at it at first, but then it really started to sound like SOAD. So I'm just going to have to give it 3.5/10.
This one is a track my buddy (who's much more into the whole indie scene than I am, which probably ain't saying much) sent me via e-mail a few months back. I think I like it, even if it is a bit monotonous.
Lynx & Ram - Ghost Ship

I'm most likely not going to return to that. The drums (the trashcan ones) sound pretty good although I'm not a fan of the "thump" beat thats also going on. The trebl-y guitar part got annoying after a while and the song didn't really go anywhere. This band should write better songs, and do a better job of the sound they were going after.
Here's the Dismemberment Plan's "Back and Forth"
For those of you who miss the 90's.

I don't want to get pigeonholed in this forum as being "the dude that's negative about everyone else's music", but damn, that SUCKED. Drums are incredibly annoying (I think that's possibly the most annoying drumbeat ever, which is no small feat), vocals make me want to poke my eardrums out with a rusty skewer (we're going back, and forth, back, and forth!!! ARRRRRGHHHH) and the guitars are faggier then a gay porno featuring Connor Oberst and Sufjan Stevens (nothing against gay dudes, but I think that explains my point pretty well).
-10^100 out of 10.
Anyway, here is my song. It's by The Angelic Process. It's better then that last song, and the guitars are a bit more distorted as well.

A really good song, I liked it. They seem to know what they were doing, because even with the noise, it is still possible to hear melodies. I really enjoyed the first part but the 30 second slow part starting at 2:30 or around there almost ruined it. The tone of the guitar for the one part was dreadful. Otherwise it rocked pretty hard.
The song I'm posting now is called Paragraphs Relentless by Dalek, a rap duo from Newark. Call it a shoegaze rap blend?
The song isn't on this computer, so I'm posting a myspace link.

Wow, so when I pulled up the page, it automatically went to "Eyes to Form Shadows" and I didnt realise my mistake until I looked back at this thread, but that one was good too.
So I went back and listened to the proper song.
"Paragraphs Relentless" was even better than "Eyes...". I am very picky about what rap I do like, so I was wary going in, but the beats are dark, and the lyrical flow was most impressive. I guess they are going for a more techno / electronica feel with some of the samples/beats, I can understand the reasoning, but some of the long breaks in vocals just didnt seem to go anywhere, just 30 seconds of the same beat thats been going on for the last two minutes.
All in all, quite good, 8/10
The song for the next person:
Vo Slavu Velikim by Arkona

******* Make sure to select Vo Slavu Velikim in the list, it will probably start on Ot Serdca K Nebu
