The Forced Listening Thread
KharBevNor:
I've managed to find one hit on DC++, but nothing with open slots.
Still, wait and see.
Dammit, I want to force you p0s0rz to listen to some real mens (and womens!) music!!
shumacher:
KarBevNor, Malphas, I've sent you, or at least tried to send you PMs.
Malphas:
Thanks for sending me the song shumacher! Time to get this thread going again.
Brad - Buttercup
1. (10/20) Eh, it was alright. I didn't particularly like the singer, but the rest was alright. It was a nice "chillin'" song.
2. (15/20) I suppose it was good for its genre. Wasn't really my thing, but it wasn't bad.
3. (7/20) It wasn't particularly impressive, because it was a slow paced song.
4. (8/20) Eh, they were alright.
5. (5/20) I hear stuff like this all the time, so I can't give it many unique points.
TOTAL: 45/100
My song: Xasthur - Soul Abduction Ceremony
This is quite possibly one of the most frightening songs ever written.
Hector Gilbert:
Now this is a bizarre song. The "wall of noise" guitar lines make it immediately recognisable as black metal, but the whole thing seems slowed down to give a kind of grand-scale effect as well as being touched up more than usual (the arrangements are much more detailed to what I'd expect from say early Bathory or the three black albums of Darkthrone). There's quite a bit of repetition as I would expect, but the relatively elaborate delivery doesn't sit with me so well as a bit of harsh feedback on its own would have - at times it even borders on the pompous, affected rather than affecting. Still, the noisy guitar "tune" has stayed in my head and there are a few notable points of transition in the song which are genuinely dramatic and allow me to genuinely enjoy the song. It has grown on me a bit like Burzum's Filosofem, an atmospheric album which this reminded me of to some extent. 7/10
Love the transition at 6:00!
Celtic Frost - "Jewel Throne"
KharBevNor:
Ok, Sorry, but I'm gonna cheat and grab this :p
Celtic Frost-Jewel Throne
A somewhat hard track to give a genre to, in some ways. It's proto-black metal, with a slight doomy edge, that would come out a lot more on their later albums, breaking down into total thrash at some points.
I'm gonna nick Malphas' system:
1. (18/20) This song rocks!
2. (19/20) This song helped forge it's genre.
3. (16/20) Not the best, most definitely not the worst.
4. (15/20) Pretty good. A few understandable grammar flaws.
5. (19/20) The 'To Mega Therion' album was only ever copied.
so that's 87/100. Pretty much what it deserves!
Now.
