The Forced Listening Thread
La Creme:
Queensryche - Queen of the Reich
Opens with a boring, repetitive guitar riff, shortly followed by an unnecessary DOUBLE metal scream. Singing is echoey, and too quiet, and so stereo-typically hair-metally that i was, by the end of the song, on the verge of going online, finding a picture of a mullet, printing it, and lighting it on fire. The only redeaming feature was the harmonics on the geeee-tar in the middle. But I'm just a sucker for harmonized guitar, so yeah.
Sorry mang, hair metal is just not my burger.
2.5 / 10
For a change of pace from the usual endless torrent of metal and indy-pop placed on this site:

Why is A.d.d. ska so damned fun? Because it taps into each and every one of our inner-ridalin childs. And it makes you burn the spahgetti...

It appears that your link has expired :-( I didn't manage to find it on P2P either. (This particular song).
You might perhaps wish to renew the link...?

This time, the link should work. If not, it's likely because my computer is a peice of shit. Remember when Dell used to make white computers? That's what mine is. Running '98. Fuck this computer.

OK. Nice one. No virtuosity or Caruso level singing but that's not the intent. As I understand it, this is meant to be fun, which it is. The lyrics are somewhat cool and the whole style of playing well coresponds to a bit ironic and non-serious approach in this song. Better playing or singing would actually ruin the effect, imho.
So treated "objectively" it's a well done song of its nature.
As for me, songs of this nature don't work for me that much. I am little bit more into "virstuoso playing".
So 7.5/10 it is if I ignore my own taste, 6/10 if I deduct something for "not my type of music".
My song would be:
O.S.I. - When You're Ready

Titan:
O.S.I. - When You're Ready
When it first started I was reminded of "Broken" - Seether ft Amy Lee. I actually thought this was a nice start, very promising. From there it gradually progressed until they added whirly sort of sounds, etc that actually ruined my enjoyment of the song - I can think of at least one song off the top of my head that I actually gave up listening to because they ended with a similar effect that gave me a headache. However, I can see the appeal in the song, it's pretty unique to me so I'm gonna give it:
7/10, which took me quite a few listens to finally decide upon.
Anyway, a british band next, I enjoyed this song and a few others they came up with.
InMe - Faster The Chase
