Forced Listening Thread V: Planet of the Bikini Vampire Babes
Buttfranklin:
This is fun :), even though I'm pretty rubbish at writing reviews I'll try again.
I usually don't like Metallica (except for Unforgiven) because the singer (Dave Mustaine I think) tends to just yell in a really jarring way throughout the entire song (ie. the song Master of Puppets), but this was actually pretty good, if a bit repetitive instrumentally. I like the chorus part, especially. Kind of overlong, though imo.
What's this a cover of?
edit: oops, um, I'll give it a 7.75/10

This is the video for Northern Cold, off of an as yet unreleased Woods of Ypres album. They live like an hour away from me, I'm looking forward to seeing them play this live soon.

I really like this- I am not a black metal purist, and I really like when bands are ok with clean and harsh vocals together. The girl on keys was a bit disconcerting- when they focused on her she seemed to be trying to be seductive instead of grim or whatnot, and her hair kind of clashed with the muted color tones. I also wasn't a big fan of the synthy slow break about 2/3 of the way through. The track really seemed to fit with the outdoor setting until that distinctly electronic tone came though. Whatever, I'm quibbling about the video more than the audio. That was very enjoyable, 9/10.

oh my. this was a surprise from the start. i actually find myself bemusedly enjoying this. The weird distorted voice around the middle was weird, and the operatic singer is....different?
nonetheless, the mix of rock and swing is pretty cool. something you might find on the soundtrack to a zombie-themed video game. 7/10
for my selection, i choose you, Starberries - Bicyclette! my friend sent me this link a while ago, they are his friends.

i put weird in the same sentence twice, describing the same thing. i don't like when that happens.
Scandanavian War Machine:
pretty good song, even if it doesn't bring anything too unique to the table. my only real complaint is the singer. he doesn't seem to have the skill to be singing that particular type of music, although i think he could do great in another genre. overall, pretty solid song. i espescially like it when the drums first kick in; good stuff.
i give you The Devil Makes Three. The song is "Old Number Seven"
Caspian:
As soon as I saw that the genre was "acoustic/punk/bliues" I was expecting to hate this with a passion. Turns out it's not that bad. It sounds quite 'authentic', I guess, the vocalist isn't great but the melodies are, and all in all it's quite a catchy tune. 7/10.
Here's mine, some pretty nice mellow, spacey, folky kinda stuff from one of the rare good Christian bands around. There's not any sort of preaching so don't let the whole christian thing put you off. This is Frail by Jars of Clay.
