The Forced Listening Thread
KharBevNor:
A bit generic, imo. Vocals and lyrics were ok0ish, 'wooOooOOoOOOOoOoooOOo' space rock synths in the background didn't really fit so well. Sounded quite emo when it speeded up, which is just a sound I don't like, but the distorted guitar section was cool, and the song got quite some better after that. Though the chorus was a down-side. The singer thankfully fails at trying to sound like Tom Yorke (If he'd succeeded it would have been much much worse).
6.2/10
Three suggestions. This week, it's when underground metal and electronica COLLIDE!
Ewigkeit-Strange Volk
...And Oceans-Of Devilish Tongues
Contrastic-Liars Are Winners
ev0lve:
I was able to find ...And Oceans - Of Devilish Tongues
So I'll do that.
Hah, so.. it starts off like it's going to be worth listening to. Then this bad-sounding guitar starts up and then some SCREAMINGRAWRRAWRDISTORTEDVOICE lyrics start and it just goes to hell. I can be ok with this type of music. I can love this kind of music. This is just not doing it for me. At 2:47, this little technoy beat starts that I dig. Then some hot drums. Just for about 30 seconds, though. Then comes the growling. Wtf. Then, just when you think it's over... No! More! And it sounds exactly the same as before. I had to google the lyrics. There was no way I was understanding a word of that. Relatively hard to find, but once I found them I wasn't surprised really. Typical angsty shit.
"Forever people suffer in silence
Always and forever drifting to dark waters"
yeah yeah. ok.
thankfully War Pigs came on after this was over. god bless winamp.
god, i'm being mean today :)

Andrew Bird - Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left

KharBevNor:
A.M.G.O.D. (Allotropic Metamorphic Genesis of Dimorphism) is not an angsty album. You people seemingly just can't do post-black.

This seems like a fairly typical sort of delicate art-pop....not a bad thing in my book. Nothing new here, but it's melodic and the production is full of cute little touches. The lyrics are standard obscure indie fare in the REM tradition—it's possible that they mean something, but I don't really care. They don't detract from the music, at least. Mr. Bird sounds distinctly like Isaac Brock in spots, but that's neither here nor there.
If there's one real complaint I could level at this (and the genre in general), it's that it meanders somewhat; he's clearly not too concerned with keeping up any particular sense of momentum. Still, it's a fine listen.
7/10
NEXT:
Rotary Connection - "I Am the Black Gold of the Sun"

Rotary Connection - "I Am the Black Gold of the Sun"
Let's just come straight out here and say that I did not like this song at all. I can give it a 4/10, because these people can onviously sing, play instruments etc. Despite not liking the genre/style, I would say this song's problem was that it had far too much the air of background music. It just sort of sat there in the background not doing very much at all really.
This week is the many voices of Dan Swano week! You can choose between:
