THE MUSIC THING, BACK FROM THE DEAD WITH A NEWER COOLER TOPIC Options

[Raijinili]

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

LIST BE UP, LET US BEGIN WITH CHRISSY.

ACTUALLY HE'S COOL WITH ME STARTING FIRST, SO ONE MOMENT.

OKAY LET'S GOOOOO Sieben - Subway to Sally

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.

[Raijinili]

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:

I didn't really like the change in tempo for the chorus

The tempo doesn't change. You're just expecting the percussion to always strike on a downbeat. Count it out, bagpipes starts' of phrases will still always fall on the first downbeat in a 4/4 measure.

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

[Raijinili]

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

[Raijinili]

Ugress - Trigger 22

Lyrics translated

I think the vocals are Norwegian.

[Raijinili]

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

[Raijinili]

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.
