Title: The "Rate The Above Song" Thread
Post by: McBeverage on January 04, 2011, 03:40:50 am: Because every forum needs one.

Since I am first I will post a song and not rate any others.

We'll start with some

Wintersun - Starchild (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc4WFzl-6Xs)
Title: Re: The "Rate The Above Song" Thread
Post by: Gorath on January 04, 2011, 04:26:03 am: Well it's all subjective and opinions but what the hell, I'll bite:

While technically sound and proficient I'm just not much of a fan of the major scale rifmy old friende done at high speed. Sounds too... up-beat I guess is the best way to describe it. Even minor scale riffing, while darker and quite full of melody and harmonics, has become a bit worn out in my old age. I tend to prefer more jazz phrasings and off-color/darker emotions in my music (phrygian mode for intance is a personal fave of mine) Still the musicians are solid, so i give them credit for that. The leads are executed well.

The vocal stylings as well seem a bit cliche' and aren't really to my taste, though I have definately heard worse. Though I'm fairly picky about what I consider a good vocalist, it's not a game-breaker for me as I listen mostly for the instrumental and emotional content and as long as the vocals aren't atrocious I can for the most part overlook them altogether. Lyrical content I won't judge on because not every song from every band is going to be a mind-bending dissertation driven by deep thoughts about the nature of society, god, the universe, politics, etc.

TLDR: Not my cup of tea, but the musicianship is solid so I'll give them 3.5 / 5 horns
\m/.

A personal favorite band of mine in the progressive/metal genre's. I've seen them twice, and absolutely love their sound. Vocals aren't the absolute top of my list, but they serve the music quite well and again I listen more for the emotion within music:
Gojira - Global Warning from the album "From Mars to Sirius"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MHEe5-4Ecg&feature=related
Title: Re: The "Rate The Above Song" Thread
Post by: Lansamur on January 04, 2011, 01:00:50 pm: Oh, Gojira's a beauty, definitely.
I'm not a musician, so I dont really know much about techniques and stuff, but the riffs sound clean, the emotion behind fits well, it might even slightly fit into the technical Deathmetal. It does kinda remind me of the old In Flames-albums mixed together with Grip Inc. I'd give it a 8/10 rating.

I can't really choose a favorite song, but I do very much like this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7fuuDc2hH0&feature=related

Arkona - Goi, Rode, Goi

Especially our Russian fellows can say sth to it prolly, as they at least understand it what Masha is singing. xD

Post by: Tholgar on January 04, 2011, 02:15:58 pm: Definatly one of the best russian pagan metal bands, very beautiful female vocal. But for some reason i don't like the guitars in this specific song.

Here's some of my favourite:
Amon Amarth - Runes to my memory

Post by: Lansamur on January 04, 2011, 03:58:01 pm: Eh, I dont really like organ music, so I'd rather not rate it.^^

@Tholgar: That's a good choice too and it's nice to see some non-russians knowing Arkona too. xD

Next one is a A-Capella band from Germany called Van Canto. it's unique, but still kinda Metal. They cover a lot of songs, but they also have their own ones. Like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt4CQc1MSso&feature=related

(even fits into the Warband-culture xD)
Title: Re: The "Rate The Above Song" Thread
Post by: Tholgar on January 04, 2011, 04:27:33 pm: Van Canto is very original band. I like most of their songs :)

Here's one from Blind Guardian - Bard's Song:

Post by: Bulzur on January 04, 2011, 07:16:21 pm: I appreciate this kind of threads, since it makes me discover new songs/groups. And i'm all for adding some musical knowledge to my library.

I won't be much original, and appreciate Rock. Maybe cause i can dance on some of it with... someone. And just fool around on other, especially in front of my computer.
Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWNRUVMboq4
Title: Re: The "Rate The Above Song" Thread
Post by: Lansamur on January 05, 2011, 07:38:17 pm: Green Day... never really been into them, but they have some nice songs. Boulevard is a pretty emotional song, too quiet for my tastes and not really fitting, seeing as they have been a pretty popular punkband earlier. But still, it is a nice song to listen to sometimes.

German Pagan Metal... best there is around here and this is one of the most beautiful songs they have imo.

Backbone is great, all their songs are great, but I just have a particular love for the more progressive/melodic songs.

As you can see, I'm in love with this desert/stoner/hard rock sound, it became my fav. genre over the years. It's very good for listening, playing, driving, everything! Heavy Fuzz'd guitars, kick ass riffs, beer and women. What else do you need?

Staff appointed hearts
Earned a piece of paper
No go forth and start

Go forth Be conquered

Mind is mutilated
Thrust into the world
Feeling segregated

Back into the dark
Landed where you started
Bachelor of Arts

This one comes with a video, I think its a clip from some film, dunno which one. Or just a really enthusiastic amateur maybe. Who knows?:
