Other than the top 3 songs, this round was lacking in quality compared to the others.
Round 5:
5 ClairvoyantCat: The Daysleepers – “Run”: I don’t have any experience with dream pop other than Mew (and I fucking love them btw). TBH I didn’t really hear where much of the dream pop elements came in, but this was a really great song (although a little long for this round
)
4 AcidRainLTE: Gregory and the Hawk – “Doubtful”: Seth has been telling me to listen to this for a while. I am DEFINITELY doing that now. This was a good way to redeem yourself. Great song.
4 Quadrochosis: Thomas Giles – “Scared”: This was excellent. Very emotional. Idk what else to say.
4 Gorille: Everything Everything – “Suffragette Suffragette”: This song is insanely catchy. It started off really strange for me, but I liked it a lot starting in the second verse. It REALLY sounds like he’s singing “Who’s gonna sit on your face when I’m gone?”
3 Sonatafanica: My Morning Jacket – “Touch Me I’m Going to Scream, Pt. 1”: I downloaded the new album from this band that was just released, but haven’t listened yet. I’ll definitely give it a listen. This was really catchy.
3 Lateralus88: Queen – “Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon”: This song gave me the biggest smile, especially in the last 20 seconds or so… Queen is a band I’ve know that I would love but never checked out. I know I should do that soon.
2 Antigoon: Monsters of Folk – “Say Please”: HEY! It’s the dude from Bright Eyes. I’m not that big on Bright Eyes, but I enjoy them a bit. This song was way different from what they play though. I liked it.
2 Ravenheart: Depeche Mode – “Songs of Faith and Devotion”: I’ve heard quite a bit of Depeche Mode before, and I was never big on it. This was no exception. I can tell they have some great stuff going on (I liked the strings a lot), but there’s something that keeps me from enjoying it tbh. I just don’t know what it is. (maybe the vocals?)
2 LieLowTheWantedMan: Cardiacs – “Angleworm Angel”: EVERYTHING YOU SEND ME IS FROM THE 70’S. That’s not a bad thing though, this song was pretty good. One of the comments on the video said “Sounds like a whale on stilts blundering into a church and sparking a riot.”
