Blah blah blah the idea is someone posts a song for people to listen to, and they say what they think of it. Next week, someone else does the same. Basically they take turns posting musics to show off to everyone. I don't intend to make multiple topics this time though because that takes effort. Walrus says every three or so people that want in, we'll get rid of a day between songs. Or something. BUT WE'RE NOT CHANGING WEEKLY UNTIL WE HAVE AT LEAST 6 PEOPLE. Also, if you don't post your song within like, two days of when you were supposed to post it, we're skipping you. THINGS COULD BE ARRANGED IF WE'RE WARNED OF AN ABSENCE IN ADVANCE THOUGH.
SO WHO'S IN+GIVE IDEAS.
Okay, so what this is is people take turns posting a song for everyone else to listen to/comment on. Right now it'll be four days between turns, and if we get more people that'll go down again etc. They follow the order of turns in this list. If someone wants to be added, they can post here or PM me. But anyone can comment on songs posted, the list is just for posting songs. Also, you don't need to write a whole essay or whatever on what you think of the song, but it'd be nice if you could say what you like/dislike about a song. AND POSTING LYRICS TO A SONG IS HELPFUL. Also, we'll skip your turn if you haven't posted your song within two days of when you were supposed to (unless you warned us or something, in which case we might mess with the turn order temporarily or something to prevent boredom while you're gone).
SO THE LIST:
chrishawke
Irysa
Walrus
DustyHaru
Yuka
Rhiannon
Shiokazu
WALRUS IS IN AND GAVE IDEAS.
me
I'm in for round 2 I guess.
I am in.
I'll be in.
I'll be gone for the next two-ish weeks though.
LIST BE UP, LET US BEGIN WITH CHRISSY.
ACTUALLY HE'S COOL WITH ME STARTING FIRST, SO ONE MOMENT.
OKAY LET'S GOOOOO http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/9/25/2115364/04%20Sieben.mp3
You don't get lyrics because finding English translations can be difficult when it's not Rammstein. SO LIEK ENJOY THOSE BAGPIPES, I KNOW I DO.
Sieben - Subway to Sally
From Rhia. This is the second metal/whatever German band I've heard, the other being one of Rhia's old entries, and it still sounds funny. The bagpipes don't really sound like bagpipes, which is kind of cool, and while I didn't really like the change in tempo for the chorus, the chime-y noises were nice. Also the lyrics were silly/disturbing. For this song, Rhia gets a...Sieben/10.
Sieben - Subway to Sally
I'm not going to post my very long reviews of songs this time around, because I think that killed it for me. This song sounds Scottish, which is kinda neat. I think it's the bagpipes.
Going with Walrus, 7/10.
Unrelated:
Sieben - Subway to Sally
IT'S NOT REALLY THAT SCOTTISH AT ALL YOU'RE CRAZY. I HAVE TO AGREE WITH WALRUS THAT THE BAGPIPES SOUND A BIT IFFY (PROBABLY BEACUSE THEY'RE SYNTH) BUT MORE IN THE BAD WAY, LACK OF DRONES. THE GENERAL RIFF IS A BIT BORING FOR ME TOO. SONG SOUNDS BETTER AS SOMETHING TO LISTEN TO THE BACKGROUND THAN ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION TO.
NOT REALLY BAD OR ANYTHING BUT WOULDN'T PICK IT OUT TO LISTEN TO.
6/10
Sieben - Subway to Sally
It has... bagpipes? That's neat. I can somewhat rock out to it, even though I don't get what he's saying.
7/10
Welp there goes my 777
Not something I'd pick to listen to, but it's interesting; with bagpipes and whatnot.
THOUGH YEAH, I WOULD PROBABLY LIKE TO KNOW WHAT HE'S SINGING.
Seiben: 7/10

I think the vocals are Norwegian.
Ugress - Trigger 22
Like it a lot. Has a pretty nice atmosphere to it, vaguely reminds me of music from Homeworld, "spacey" and desolate. Also like how the song evolves the longer it goes on, incorporating more beats/synth and the like.
8.5/10
Ugress - Trigger 22
From le hawke. Can't really think of anything to say...It's not that bad, but I wouldn't listen to this unless I was walking down an unhappy corridor. 5/10.
Ugress - Trigger 22
DIDN'T REALLY LIKE IT. There's nothing really wrong with it, I guess, it just seemed boring to me. I'd probably like it in a game or a trippy scene in a movie, though...
I knew it sounded really familiar. Chord progression or whatever sounds like Tubular Bells 1 by Mike Oldfield (or at least the beginning)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9A60e16SvM
Hip-hop sort of beat, and sort of creepy sounding lyrics and dissonant violins, but nothing too memorable or exciting.
Ugress - Trigger 22

DNB REMIX OF A ROCK REMIX OF A CHEMICAL BROTHERS CLUB TRACK
WHAT A WEIRD TRAIN OF EVENTS
can't be bothered to do a real upload deal with youtube.
Not what I'd normally expect from a dnb track (then again I'm not so well acquainted with tons of music genres). Doesn't seem to have much variation/progression but I didn't expect much.
Shinichi Osawa - Star Guitar (Brookes Brothers Remix)
7/10
Ugress - Trigger 22
This is pretty rad, but no one understands atmosphere in music aside from Asaph and myself.
7.5/10.
Shinichi Osawa - Star Guitar (Brookes Brothers Remix)
I love this. Like you have no idea. I don't even know what I love about this, just that things all seem to fit together. It's quite glorious. Not like THE BEST THING EVER but it's near the upper echelons of music.
9/10.
Shinichi Osawa - Star Guitar (Brookes Brothers Remix)
Kind of reminds me of various Umineko songs at the start. Not really sure why. Anyway, it's alright. It's kind of boring with how repetitive it is, but it sounds nice so I don't really mind that much.
Shinichi Osawa - Star Guitar (Brookes Brothers Remix)
From Asaph. Reminds me a lot of the P3 tracks that play when you run around the city/school, and I liked those. That's it. 7/10
http://www.fileden.com/files/2010/8/11/2939470/04%20Summertime%20Clothes.mp3
Lyrics:
Summertime Clothes - Animal Collective
I TOTALLY EXPECTED A SONG BY WALRUS COLLECTION. I LIKE THIS SONG, BUT IT'S TOTALLY STILL WEIRD. I think it's that synth or whatever running around in the background that makes it seem weird. But anyway, the chorusy part is calming, and makes me think of clouds floating around. I approve.
Shinichi Osawa - Star Guitar (Brookes Brothers Remix)
Feels like something you could play/find at a club and dance to until you drop. Hard. 7/10
Summertime Clothes - Animal Collective
Beginning oddly reminded me of FF6's Slam Shuffle. Other than that, feels as if they've smoked whatever the Beatles did and cooked up something pretty trippy. 8/10
Summertime Clothes - Animal Collective
Woah. Stuff is here. I have no idea what they're on, but the whole song made me smile.
7/10
Summertime Clothes - Animal Collective
Really really boring. I have no better way to sum this up. Feels like it doesn't really go anywhere the whole time, lyrics are nonsensical and the synth isn't particularly pleasing.
2/10
http://www.fileden.com/files/2010/7/27/2926375/09%20The%20Weight%20of%20Love%20Blinds%20Eyes.mp3
Lyrics:
The Weight of Love Blinds Eyes - Emarosa
The beginning of this song tricks me into thinking it will be boring and Generic McGenericson, but then the guy's voice comes and it's cool. I UNDERSTAND WHERE THE DUST IS COMING FROM. His voice is actually probably the main reason I like it, but whatever.
And then no one else likes the song.
"The Weight of Love Blinds Eyes" - Emarosa
From Dusty. Rhia might think it's "new and exciting", but you can't trust her as far as you can throw her. It doesn't do anything interesting, though it's not terrible by any means. 6/10
I never said it was new and exciting, just that I didn't expect a voice like that after hearing the start. :(
"The Weight of Love Blinds Eyes" - Emarosa
eh, pretty standard. Not that good, not that bad. Does what it's meant to do, I used to like post hardcore but I'm pretty much past it now so this is vaguely nostalgic I guess? Riffs are relatively boring but get the job done.
6.5/10
"The Weight of Love Blinds Eyes" - Emarosa
Music I wouldn't choose from the playlist but would not mind listening to on a car trip.
6/10
Animal Collection - Summertime Clothes
I kinda like the instrumentation, but at times they're too loud and cover up the vocals. It doesn't help that the vocals aren't that discernable to begin with, in my opinion.
5/10.
Emarosa - The Weight of Love Blinds Eyes
I think I liked the second half of the song more than the first half. It seemed to get a bit more drive and passion in it.
This guy's voice is kinda irritating, though.
6/10.

Game:
紅魔城伝説 ~ スカーレット・シンフォニー
Koumajou Densetsu ~ Scarlet Symphony
Legend of the Scarlet Devil Castle ~ Scarlet Symphony
Stage 6 Boss's theme. Loops at around 2:15ish, so you are free to stop listening there.
WE DIDN'T HAVE A VIDEO GAME THEME YET.
NOR DID WE HAVE SOMETHING ORCHESTRAL.
EAT IT FATTIES
"Frontier Aja - 終末の魔法使い"
its a nice song, i like the way it mixes a classic feeling with the beat. the rhythm is pretty fiery, no doubt this song can make someone feel something burning inside. well, it could be a little long, by that i mean, it could be less repetitive.
due to the loop 8.5/10
終末の魔法使い - Frontier Aja
The mood and tempo in the beginning of the beat reminds me of one of the FFTA songs (I'm pretty sure it's Unhideable Anxiety but w/e). Then I start thinking it sounds like Golden Sun or Soul Calibur :(
7.5/10
終末の魔法使い - Frontier Aja
I APPROVE OF THIS SONG. It sounds all dangerous and stuff at the start and then sounds dramatic like people are dying for their friends or something later. And maybe they are. That happens a lot in video games.
Frontier Aja - 終末の魔法使い
From Samauceka. It reminds me of Xenosaga, or situations similar to Xenosaga's boss battles. Like fighting T-ELOS or something. Except T-ELOS is a man-bot and has fifteen rapiers ready to punch you in the neck. 8/10.
http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/9/25/2115364/1-20%20Bandolero%20Comanchero.mp3
NOW FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL, BECAUSE WE HAD NOTHING SPECIAL, EAT IT FATTIES OTHER SAUCEISMS ETC. Instead of bagpipes it's horses. YOU BETTER LISTEN FOR THEM. I'm also going to warn you that it starts suddenly, so you might want to make sure your volume isn't insane before you try to listen.
http://www.eurobeat-prime.com/lyrics.php?lyrics=1005 though they seem to be a bit out of order or something or maybe I have some weird version of the song. Oh well.
"Bandolero Comanchero" - Franz Tornado and the "Mad Cow" Girls
Uh, not sure what to expect from Rhiannonland anymore. I guess it's interesting but I'm not too into eurobeat.
Neigh/10
"Bandolero Comanchero" - Franz Tornado and the "Mad Cow" Girls
What the hell am I listening to. EY EY EY EY
7.5/10.
Bandolero Comanchero - Franz Tornado and the "Mad Cow" Girls
From Rhia. HORSENOISE.WAV So it's eurodance/beat/whatever, which is awesome, and it's sung by a mildly foreign guy, which is also awesome. Horses, unintelligible lyrics set to techno laser music, hilarious names. 9/10.
"Frontier Aja - 終末の魔法使い"
Intense 7/10
"Bandolero Comanchero - Franz Tornado and the 'Mad Cow' Girls"
WHAT-IS-THIS/10
Seriously though, listening to the lyrics makes me laugh because I'm pretty sure I'm misunderstanding everything the guy is saying. 8/10

Oooh yeah, Phoenix Wright jazz.
"Naruhodou Ryuuichi - Objection!" - Metamorphosis Jazz Band
SO I DUNNO WHY NO ONE'S POSTING, I THINK THIS SONG IS PRETTY COOL. I started kind of not paying attention to it for the middle, but I liked the parts I paid attention to.
Naruhodou Ryuuichi! - Objection! - Metamorphosis Jazz Band
Really awesome stuff. I can't really describe what I like about it aside from the whole jazz. I just really like it.
8/10
I SUCK
Frontier Aja - 終末の魔法使い
Hmm. It's more interesting before the main part of the theme picks up, it gets a bit boring after that. Being a loop though it doesn't matter TOO hard I guess though. Pretty good arrange though, brass and woodwind get shafted a lot though.
8/10
Bandolero Comanchero - Franz Tornado and the "Mad Cow" Girls
Oh this fucking song. I swear I've heard this exact hook somewhere before but I can't remember where, (LOL EUROBEAT SOUNDING THE SAME? SOMEONE CALL THE FUCKING MUSIC POLICE).
I have literally nothing to say about this song. It's just typical eurobeat, nothing interesting besides the fact I recognize the hook.
6/10
"Naruhodou Ryuuichi - Objection!" - Metamorphosis Jazz Band
Heard this before. It's a pretty good retake on the original theme but I much prefer the oomph the original and other arranges have, it's a bit too laid back for the particular song imo, very groovy sax solo though.
7/10
MY TURN
http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/3/27/931714/03%20World%20is%20Mine%20-%20Hatsune%20Miku.mp3
Lyrics are pretty boring and if you care you suck and can find them yourself. Anyway this is a live version of an already pretty nice song from ryo, this whole concert pretty much kicked a lot of songs up another level by the great bass/percussion compared to the average niconico composer.
YO I STUCK SHIO INTO THE LIST AFTER ME, SO DON'T TRY TO SKIP HIM AND STUFF. ALSO, ONCE ASAPH'S TURN ENDS WE'RE GOING TO FOUR DAYS SINCE WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE.
And I'm not ready to review song. :(
YOU GUYS ALL SUCK
World is Mine (39 Giving Day Live) - Hatsune Miku / supercell / ryo
I don't know. Instrumentation is cool I guess, except the annoying vocals overtake everything whenever they show up. The rest of of the song is alright, I guess, though not particularly exciting... and I guess that's it.
YEAH, WAIT, I HATE THAT SCREECH NEAR THE END. IT'S NEVER GOOD TO PUT STUFF LIKE THAT IN SONGS.
AND EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD STOP NOT POSTING AND POST UNLESS THEY WANT THIS TO DIE.
World is Mine (39 Giving Day Live) - Hatsune Miku / supercell / ryo
Eh. It was all okay I guess. Nothing really interesting instrumentally-wise. I couldn't tell it was a scream at the end at first, thought it was some sort of really loud beep.
6.5/10
"Naruhodou Ryuuichi - Objection!" - Metamorphosis Jazz Band
From le Hawke. I'm not particularly fond of Jazz(Disco all the way bro), but it wasn't too bad. Wouldn't listen to it normally. 4/10
World is Mine (39 Giving Day Live) - Hatsune Miku / supercell / ryo
From A Saph. It wasn't quite as annoying as I thought it would be, and the overall melody and whatnot were alright. 6/10
http://www.fileden.com/files/2010/8/11/2939470/04%20Dont%20Lets%20Start.mp3
It's TMBG, awesome lyrics and funky musics. Lyrics be:
Dont Let's Start - They Might Be Giants.
well the music is kind of sparking, it has a nice rhythm and melody. the lyrics are crazy. but i liked how it sounded.
BUT WHAT I REALLY LIKED WAS THE GUITTAR
8/10
AND I DOUBT ANYONE OF YOU CAN GO LIKE Deputy dog dog a ding dang depadepa Deputy dog dog a ding dang depadepa
Don't Let's Start - They Might Be Giants
Uh, okay. I've only ever listened to maybe 3 songs by TMBG and this seems pretty standard.
6/10
Don't Let's Start - They Might Be Giants
WELL, IT WAS KIND OF BORING. Though it wasn't unpleasant to listen to. Some bass or guitar or something part in the background kind of reminded me of some 80s song I don't remember. And the guy singing didn't sound very into it.
http://www.fileden.com/files/2010/7/27/2926375/Moonlight%20Instrumental.mp3
Don't expect any words. Don't expect any progression. It's all the sound.
Moonlight Instrumental - David Vandervelde
This isn't really the type of song I'd expect to like since I'm horrible at paying attention these days, but I really like this. It's pretty and really calming. Well, except for the end. The end is a bit disconcerting...
幻想浪漫綺行(Another Sky Remix) - めらみぽっぷ/RD Sounds with Meramipop

幻想浪漫綺行(Another Sky Remix) - めらみぽっぷ/RD Sounds with Meramipop
THIS SONG IS NICE I GUESS. The vocalist sounds kind of weird at points, though I can't really explain why. And... I guess I don't have much to say about it.

http://lyrics.wikia.com/Corvus_Corax:O_Varium_Fortune YO IT'S CORVUS CORAX FOR REAL THIS TIME INSTEAD OF SURPRISE EUROBEAT. It's a bit repetitive, but eh, most of their songs (at least from the Cantus Buranus albums anyway) are. AND THERE ARE MORE BAGPIPES AND GERMANS EVEN THOUGH NOBODY'S SINGING GERMAN AND I'M PRETTY SURE PEOPLE WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT THESE BAGPIPES TOO.
O Varium Fortune - Corvus Corax
nn~ i listened twice it was a good song.
strong, i liked two things: the beat and some instrument i cant identify because it can be that Scottish blowing thing, or something else.
is it latin?
