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:

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.

Posted by: Yuka Jul 28 2010, 07:36 AM

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.

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

Posted by: chrishawke Jul 30 2010, 06:02 AM

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

Posted by: DustyHaru Jul 30 2010, 06:55 PM

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.

I think the vocals are Norwegian.

Posted by: Irysa Aug 2 2010, 12:45 PM

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

Posted by: Walrus Aug 3 2010, 02:27 AM

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.

Posted by: Rhiannon Aug 3 2010, 09:27 PM

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...

Posted by: DustyHaru Aug 3 2010, 10:28 PM

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.

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.

Posted by: DustyHaru Aug 6 2010, 05:24 PM

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

Posted by: Yuka Aug 6 2010, 11:48 PM

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.

Posted by: Rhiannon Aug 9 2010, 03:55 PM

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.

Posted by: Walrus Aug 9 2010, 10:09 PM

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

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.

Posted by: chrishawke Aug 14 2010, 10:12 PM

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

Posted by: DustyHaru Aug 14 2010, 10:39 PM

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

Posted by: Irysa Aug 15 2010, 03:27 AM

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

Lyrics:

Posted by: Rhiannon Aug 18 2010, 01:02 AM

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.

Posted by: Walrus Aug 18 2010, 06:22 AM

"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

Posted by: Rhiannon Aug 18 2010, 09:00 AM

I never said it was new and exciting, just that I didn't expect a voice like that after hearing the start. :(

Posted by: Irysa Aug 18 2010, 06:02 PM

"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

Posted by: chrishawke Aug 19 2010, 11:23 PM

"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

Posted by: Yuka Aug 20 2010, 06:36 PM

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.

"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

Posted by: DustyHaru Aug 24 2010, 02:11 PM

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

Posted by: Rhiannon Aug 25 2010, 11:53 AM

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.

Posted by: Walrus Aug 26 2010, 02:01 AM

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.

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

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.

Posted by: DustyHaru Sep 6 2010, 02:06 AM

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

Posted by: Irysa Sep 6 2010, 04:32 PM

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.

Posted by: Rhiannon Sep 11 2010, 01:43 AM

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. :(

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.

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.
