Sonic Youth - Unmade Bed

soft, sort of poppy intro. Singer sounds somewhat bored, and keeps low, but still manages to crack up. The bits where the drums go a bit faster provide some welcome musical variation. At about 1:30 they decide to involve some guitar, and it gets a bit better. at about 2:30 they discover that it makes a squealing noise if you rub the pick up and down the string, and exploit said noise. That's about all that happens in this song, apart from dullness.

Can't be arsed to check the lyrics, as I'm nigh on certain that it's about exactly what it says it is. 2/10

Therion - To Mega Therion

Therion - To Mega Therion.

The two words that immediately come to mind when you listen to this track are Rock and Opera. After the intro there's a short string part that leads into more operatic vocals over a riff that sounds like a stampede of horses. This song has pomp. It's the sort of song that if you read the premise of on paper you would think was the most stupid idea in the history of the world but listening to it it just works. At about 0:46 some shouting dude comes in for a short section and his voice is a bit annoying switching between shouty and crooning which could sound cool but ends up just pissing you off. Then there's a big instrumental with a lone voice coming in at one section. This sounds like the soundtrack to a some sort of biblical battle sequence. My first thought would be to compare it with Meatloaf with his a similarly operatic hard-rocking style. After the mammoth instrumental it goes back to the bit at the start again then another huge instro. I enjoyed this song. Once I'd sussed the style of song it was nothing if not predictable but still enjoyabkle even if it did drag on a bit long. 8/10

Johnny Cash - I've Been Everywhere

At the forum I do this we call dibs an then you have 1 hour to review the song before your dibs are forfeited.

Signum_Tenebrae:
I've always thought Johnny Cash was pretty cool.

Musically, it's nothing splendid and certainly not profound, but who cares?

What can you say about Johnny Cash?  7/10 since he does have cooler songs.

Here's mine.  I figured I'd post one that'd get quite a reaction.

Slave Whipping Blasphemy - Abraham Lincoln, I Fucking Hate You

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/4/slavewhippingblasphemymusic.htm

(second song down)

SWB is incredible!  True slave whipping black metal at its finest!  This is actually a couple of friends of mine.  It's their "side project" band.  Here are the lyrics, make sure to read along to the song.

Piss on Abe!
Desecrate his grave
While he DIES!!!

Abraham Lincoln
loved niggers so...
he wanted their cocks
in his asshole!

Abraham Lincoln,
you stupid asshole

Hail to John Wilkes Booth
for shooting
his niggèr-loving
FACE!!!

(not equal)

EDIT:  Had to change something in the lyrics since the autofilter got it.  Also had to change the link.

sketchyjoe:
1. A review is supposed to give you some idea of what the song is like.
2. That SWB song is retarded.

a pack of wolves:
Musically, this song's uninspired. You could easily go and find hundreds of bands peddling death/black metal, play them next to these guys and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Since this is (presumably) a comedy band I'm guessing they didn't spend much time on it. The vocals were alright though. As for the lyrics... eh. Not funny, not shocking, all been done a thousand times before and it was tiresome then. So, 2/10 and it's just the vocals raising it above a 1.
