FORCE LISTENING Thread
« on: September 22, 2010, 06:51:04 PM »
I saw this one at the Opeth forum and thought it was cool.

Rules:

I start by posting a youtube video of a song.
1. You rate the song that has been posted in the last post with a grade from 1 to 10 and with a comment. You have to listen to it even if it's a band you hate or a song you hate you have to give it a fair chance and listen to the end.
2. You post the song as a youtube video of your willingness, and wait for it to be rated.
3. Don't post same songs twice.

Ok, so I decided with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2KkaRLiyxg

I like it. But it's something I would have to be in just the right mood to want to listen to. As for a rating, I'll give it a 5 out of 10 right now, but if you asked me when I was more in the mood for that sort of thing it would be higher.

I guess I'll start off with something that I'm sure a lot of people here would like.

Yes, they are! The whole album (they only have one right now) is fantastic! They have a new album coming out in October too.

OK so here is my comment for Tetrafusion - Dark Matter: I've never heard of them but this is really good! Its start with some strings and piano and evolve into a prog-metal section and then there is just a great collection of riffs that never felt pasted or whatever. The whole thing flows pretty good and it never seems repetitive either. Overall a great tune, I gave it a solid 7.5/10!

So here is my song! Obviously it's an Unexpect tune but I promise I won't spam this thread with their material!

My guess is that it'll be okay as long as it's not DT or DT-related material...I mean the whole Song Roulette thingie includes sending youtube links so I don't really see what's the big deal here...Of course I can e wrong be I just assume that it won't be lock just now.

Unexpect - Desert Urbania

The harsh vocals are actually pretty good, and all the weird instruments give a nice chaotic atmosphere. I like it quite a bit, but the clean vocals kind of annoyed me though. 8/10


Cormorant - Uneasy Lies the Head

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obik_DA9Edc

Posted this before, but I absolutely love these guys so I'll do it again! Really weird mix of Folk/Doom/Black/Trad that really isn't evident in this song in particular. This is more of a straight-up heavy metal song with black metal vocals (But other songs they have tend to be... different. I know a lot of people compare Salt of the Earth to Opeth, but it sounds closer to Celtic Frost/Into the Woods... to me  :lol )

Anyway, just some awesome riffs, awesome vocals, epic guitar solo and not to mention EPIC VIKING CHANTS  :metal :metal :metal
And lyrically its about the Reign of Terrors. Done very nicely if you ask me.
Every time someone brings up "Never Enough", the terrorists win.

Doom metal has never been my thing..just beyond my grasp of heaviness.
I've dl some Cormorant before trying to get into them without luck.
I give the song an 8 for DOOM simply because I've heard much much worse and musically they were pretty tight sounding.

Please enjoy Theocracy - Laying the Demon to Rest
quite possibly the most "metal" song opening ever....EVER. Im not a big bible thumper, but I can get past the christian lyrics and really have no trouble enjoying these guys. This album is incredible I highly recommend all of it.
Take care everyone - Bet you all didn't even notice I was gone.

Very good, I could see that song growing on me in the future.
8/10

I figure I'll post another christian metal band. heh

Becoming the Archetype - How Great Thou Art
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnRTfjPohYw

It's their rendition of the old Christian hymn and before you get skeptical about it watch it cause I think it's awesome.  It's from their album Dichotomy which I recommend.

Anyways 6/10 for How Great Thou Art - some good material, but nothing fascinating.

That was really good. Singer had a good voice, and the music was great too. 8/10

Circle Takes The Square - Same Shade As Concrete

Amazing song! I really liked the different layers of vocals from screamo to punk-shout to clean-singing. The raw production made it sound a little bit hardcore which is really good. At 4:30 this song covers a lot of ground but it never seems forced. I love this song and I really need to check out this band more. 8.5/10.

THE AGONIST - Thank You Pain

6/10 - At first I didn't like it, I don't like her growls and I think that they are unecessary in a song like this, but I like her singing voice. Towards the end the song got better and better, liked the solos, and made me change my first opinion about it.

Massive Attack - Inertia Creeps

9/10

I love this song, it's my favourite from Mezzanine and the buildup throughout is just incredible. My only complaint is that the vocals annoy me a bit.

I know people hate them on here but this song actually has some progressive elements and a lot of cool different sections.

7/10, I was pleasantly surprised for the most part. The solo could have definitely been a minute or so shorter, but it's a live performance so it's more forgivable.


And now for something completely different (trust me guys, it's rad):

Most of that was really good, the first minute had me worried but by 2 minutes in I was hooked. I'm definitely marking them down as a band I should look into sometime. 8/10

Not really my bag, but the chords before the first verse were pretty interesting. I'd say 4/10, but again, it's outside of my tastes.

One of the most unintentionally funny videos ever. But soooooo good because of it. Like The Room.

And once that chorus kicked in I was hooked. Probably couldn't listen to it a lot but it was awesome.

I think glaurung posted it as a joke, but seriously tho, 8/10.

THE OFFSPRING - Come Out and Play

A very catchy and solid song. I loved the instrumentation, and it's far beyond what I'd expect from a punk rock (I'm not into the genre after all). Aside from a bit annoying vocal, I liked it a lot. 7.5/10.

Well this might be familiar to some members here;

Not a massive Ayreon fan, but that was definitely one of their better songs. Good atmosphere and sweet female vox. Really liked the metal backing riffs during the (mini)solos. It's a bit too long for what it is though 6.5/10

OK so here is my comment for Tetrafusion - Dark Matter: I've never heard of them but this is really good! Its start with some strings and piano and evolve into a prog-metal section and then there is just a great collection of riffs that never felt pasted or whatever. The whole thing flows pretty good and it never seems repetitive either. Overall a great tune, I gave it a solid 7.5/10!

So here is my song! Obviously it's an Unexpect tune but I promise I won't spam this thread with their material!

Unexpect - Desert Urbania
Ok, I hope I'm not interrupting, but this song is AMAZING. I'll definitely check out this band.

Maybe it's one of those things where I'll need a few listens to like it, but I was pretty bored the entire song. The section starting around 8:30 was probably my favorite part, then I lost interest again around the 10 minute mark. I'll give it another try sometime, though. 5/10
