It's the opposite of grindcore. Started by the band Glacier Life.
So I suspect this will be lower scoring than the mystery song rounds, just like the other two open rounds have been so far, but we'll see. Two artists I really liked right off the bat, some others with potential. I have a slightly different idea for comparisons this time, I'll see if I can pull it off on a later day. Here are early impressions for now.
Round 9 Early Impressions:
1: This is exactly what I expected from them, but it's quite well done, so it could work.
2: They have a rather unusual hybrid approach between a few genres, but I keep wanting them to take it in certain directions that they might not intend to go in.
3: soupytwist - Camera Obscura - Maybe I do like some happier, upbeat music after all.
4: Killer drumming, but there's just a messiness to this style of guitar playing that doesn't usually appeal to me, and oh yeah, those vocals...*mutters*
5: HOF - The Week That Was - All these overlapping and interlocking layers are really unique and fascinating, the question is how well I'll remember them.
6: ariich - Submotion Orchestra - This is a really chill and intoxicating mixture of styles.
7: As I suspected from the songs I've sampled in the past, this mashup works better than it should on paper, though I'm unsure how much staying power these particular tunes will have.
8: TAC - Circus of Fools - Now this is the kind of band that seems custom-made for me.
9: Good grief the chorus on the first song is addicting. I'm not so sure about the second tune though.
10: I'm not sure there's quite enough happening over the runtime for me, though the ending of the second song might elevate it a bit.
11: Crow - East of the Wall - This is definitely better than I feared it might be, though the vocals and noodliness might put a cap on the level it can reach.
12: SoundscapeMN - Ours - I didn't realize that U2 and The Tea Party did an album together.
13: Man, I feel like I'm 14 again.
14: It's kind of repetitive, but the vibe is trippy and cool, so let's see how much it grows on me.
15: There are some really nice elements scattered throughout these songs, but they aren't prominent enough, and this is still a style that's quite challenging to consistently pull off the way I'd like to hear it.
16: The bass and drum grooves are pretty tasty, but I wish the guitars were a bit weightier, and I'll probably continue to struggle with this vocal style.
17: Here we have a better example of how to execute a genre I typically haven't cared for.
18: My tastes in this broad style are mostly frozen decades ago, and this might be a bit abstract an update for me, but there are certainly some piquant traits that could blossom.
