Crotchduster-Let Me Into Starfish Land
...
That was very odd. Cool keyboardy intro, and then a shitload of different sections and genre switchups, mostly different styles of metal, but also bits of pop and funk. And lots of very very very crude humor. Kinda like a cross between Anal Cunt and Mr. Bungle. I didn't really find it funny, but the music was pretty nicely fucked. Not something that would probably keep me coming back, though.
1. (08/20) Not my thing.
2. (13/20) If novelty-metal is a genre, then I guess it's pretty good.
3. (18/20) They obviously know what they're doing.
4. (02/20) Sorry, the humor didn't work for me.
5. (12/20) It has its precedents, but I haven't heard anything quite like it before.
TOTAL: 53/100
Magma - "Ork Alarm"
KharBevNor:
Crotchduster definitely has to be experienced on an album level. I agree it's not for everyone. I personally love their slick combination of sub-Beavis and Butthead maturity and skilled multi-instrumentalism. Also, one of the members of the band is a dog. That just rocks.
Malphas:
Alright, new rule. You need to give a link to the FULL song when you reply. I tried to find that magma song, but that was nearly impossible without having to pay. Best I managed to find was a short 30 second excerpt from the song. I sorta liked it from what I heard, but I can't give a good review of it. I'll rereview this song if I can get a full version, until then, the score will be miserably low.
1. (10/20) I might like this song if I had the full thing, but I can't really tell.
2. (05/20) I had no idea what this was supposed to be. Some guy talking in some other language, and this weird ass honking noise.
3. (03/20) Did not sound impressive at all, then again, i'd need the full thing.
4. (02/20) Honking doesn't really count as lyrics.
5. (10/20) Yet again, i might score this higher if i had the whole thing.
TOTAL: 30/100
My song: Sargeist - Sargeist
Lyrics
blindsuperhero:
Sargeist - Sargeist
The first 2 minutes of this song consist of the drummer playing the kick drum repeatedly quite quickly, rolling on the snare and hitting a bunch of cymbals, while the guitars play a slow and quite funny sounding line over the top, we also have some goblin-like vocals like the song I reviewed a while back, which all combines to lend the song a quite of surreal feel.
this is enhanced when the song changes into a more straight-ahead section, the drummer plays a normal beat and the whole thing sounds distinctly like a computer game soundtrack, an old computer game soundtrack that it, like on a Game Boy or something. Then the fast drum bit comes back in unnannounced, which actually caused me to laugh out loud. It's quite a jolty change from one section to the other.
Anywya, these two sections alternate a bit, then we get another section, slower again, yet it still shares the kind of ridiculous sound of the other sections, harmonically speaking this song is quite comical, I don't know what mode it's in but whichever it is, it's one not particular well suited to serious music. Then it's back to the drummy drummy bit for the last minute or so.
Overall, I presume this song is intended to be angry and scary or whatever, but it just sounds quite silly. 3/10, with possible bonus points if it does get used in a computer game soundtrack.
My choice: Billy Bragg (w/ Johnny Marr) - Walk Away Renée
Psiogen:
I didn't think that Magma song would be so hard to find! I was able to find it in p2p-land myself. Anyway, here it is if you want to write a real review.
