The Forced Listening Thread
Malphas:
zOmg, no more calling songs. This thread will go way too slow.
Hector Gilbert:
I agree that this thread should be sped up a little, even though I've been the slowcoach here! Anyway...
The verses don't have all that much going for them I have to admit, just a rather standard riff and King Diamond's crazy "acquired taste" vocals. This sound seems rather dated in comparison to other metal classics of 1984 such as the songs on Metallica's Ride The Lightning and Celtic Frost's Morbid Tales. However after a few listens this has grown on me a bit, the solos are lovely and there's a great tempo change at around 3:38 or so. The lyrics surprised/impressed me a bit considering the OTT vocals (the latter of which reminded me at times of some of the prog-operas I've sat through). Six out of ten!
Throbbing Gristle - "Very Friendly"

I'll take this one....
be right back
EDIT: I can't seem to find it, I'll hold off for another one. Don't want to hold anything up. Someone else take this one.

Throbbing Gristle-Very Friendly
An interesting song. I'm not personally a fan of slow industrial much, but this was okay. It created a good atmosphere and kept providing constant development and variation that kept my interest pretty well. Good sampling and what-not. Too slow for my liking though, as said before: the beginning section was far too much drawn out, and built up in such a way that I kept expecting an increase of speed and brutality that was unfortunately never delivered. The ending also came ona bit arbitrarily: the song felt like it had little actual structure, seeming to morph somewhat into an amorphous blob of sound. Whilst this may be the things very genius to some, I cannot say it really grabs me.
What can I say? I'm a Ministry fan.
And now for my choice:
Skyclad-The Disenchanted Forest
