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...

[Dr Strum]

I knew it sounded really familiar. Chord progression or whatever sounds like Tubular Bells 1 by Mike Oldfield (or at least the beginning)
Tubular Bells Here

Hip-hop sort of beat, and sort of creepy sounding lyrics and dissonant violins, but nothing too memorable or exciting.

Ugress - Trigger 22
5/10

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.

[Dr Strum]

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

Summertime Clothes - Animal Collective

Lyrics:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Sweet summer night and I'm stripped to my sheets
Forehead is leaking, my AC squeaks and
A voice from the clock says, "You're not gonna get tired"
My bed is a pool and the walls are on fire
Soak my head in the sink for a while
Chills on my neck and it makes me smile but
My bones have to move and my skin's gotta breathe
You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved
You slide down your stairs to the heated street
And the sun has left us with slippery feet
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
And be here with you, we're goin'

It doesn't really matter, I'll go where you feel
Hunt for the breeze, get a midnight meal
I point in the windows, you point out the parks
Rip off your sleeves and I'll ditch my socks
We'll dance to the songs from the cars as they pass
Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash
Walking around in our summertime clothes,
Nowhere to go while our bodies glow
And we'll greet the dawn in its morning blues
With purple yawn, you'll be sleeping soon
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you

When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
Don't cool off, I like your warmth

Let's leave the sound of the heat for the sound of the rain
It's easy to sleep when it wets my brain
It covers my rest with a saccharine sheen
Kissing the wind through my window screen
The restlessness calls us, that I cannot hide
So much on my mind that it spills outside
Do you want to go stroll down the financial street?
Our clothes might get soaked, but the buildings sleep
And there's no one pushing for a place
As we end up at an easy pace
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
I want to walk around with you
Just you, just you, just you...

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ

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

[Dr Strum]

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

[Dr Strum]

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

"The Weight of Love Blinds Eyes" - Emarosa

Lyrics:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

I wanted to believe that I could be anyone.
But only when I'm not alone.
And obviously there's no danger in having hope,
Having hope in anyone but me.
On a better day, I would be way more awake.
Falling off, I'm losing faith.
If it's all the same, I will just take my things anyway.

If this is love, if this is love,
Then I would run far, run fast, from me.
Forgive me if I leave the keys.

I knew I would let you down.
I'd betray your confidence, how much do you trust me now?
No.
Well everyone else here sees, your eyes they can't perceive me.
I hate the sound of your voice, cause it still haunts me like a ghost.
But I know that I'm to blame, cause I've never been anyone else.
And I'm not numb cause I'm lying awake,
Cause I know I'll never change.

If this is love, if this is love,
Then I would run far, run fast, from me.

I never said I was an angel.
There's a simple explanation for it all.
It's all my fault.
The snow melts away, I'm close to the ending now.
I don't want to be saved.

If this is love, if this is love,
Then I would run far, run fast, from me.
Forgive me if I leave the keys.

Apparently, of the Post-hardocre genre, though I have no idea. I really like the Jonny Craig's voice not only as a part of Emarosa but as a solo artist as well. It was really hard trying to choose between his solo work, the sound of new Emarosa, or older scremo Emarosa (I had about five different songs in mind); because they can sound very different, due to his roots in soul and gospel music. Anyway, hope you enjoy. If not, eh.

PLUS HE'S SUCH A BOSS.

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
