Well yeah, it's a good thing the songs are weird since that's what I wanted.
My mind is just so blown out that I can't think of many adjectives other than weird right now, so I'm keeping the reviews really short in order to avoid having the same one for each song.
ROUND 3 RESULTS:
6 Points:
Bersarin Quartett - St. Petersburg (antigoon)Very beautiful, ambient piece. Um... yeah
This is definitely the kind of music I can put to good use.
Simple and minimalistic, which makes it perfect for just spacing out. I've been looking for music like this so I will definitely be checking out more.
5 Points:
Primus - Tommy the Cat (kings)Primus is obviously a band I have heard of, but I've really only heard one or two of their songs before. Nonetheless, I still had a great respect for Claypool. This song kicked ass! As a bassist, I absolutely ate up the funky bass all throughout the track. The music was so out there, in a good way!
Bjork - Submarine (sonatafanica)Well... that was certainly a creepy intro.
I never had heard Bjork before, so again this was an artist I was really looking forward to hearing. Really cool song, loved that it was acapella!
4 Points:
Polkadot Cadaver - Bring Me The Head of Andy Warhol (skydivingninja)When I picked the round theme, this was the band I was really hoping to get. I never listened to them, but I've seen people raving about them on DTF.
Demians - Porcelain (Quad)Very cool laid back, atmospheric track. Never heard of this band before. The intro sounded great with headphones, as did the whole song really!
Return to Forever - Medieval Overture (MasterShakezula)My friend showed me a couple of RTF songs before... great band! Chick Corea is awesome. That part around 3:00 is so good! The ending was incredible too
3 Points:
Dog Fashion Disco - Acid Memoirs (acidrainlte)Well... can relate.
Love the change around 1:35. Never knew this band was the predescor to Polkadot Cadaver. I liked it, but not as much as PC.
Diablo Swing Orchestra - A Tap Dancer's Dilemma (jsem)That bassline is sick! The weirdest thing about the song was probably the vocals, which I wasn't a huge fan of. However, the music undernath it was phenomenal. 4:25 <3
2 Points:
Spock's Beard - The Light (H)I like Neal Morse, but one thing that bugs me about his music is he often seems to make a song drag on a bit too long. I liked the music but I felt it would have been just as good, if not better, if it was a couple minutes shorter. Also I hope its just the copy you sent me, but there is some SERIOUS distortion in there, it actually hurt my ears it was so bad.
1 Point:
System of a Down - A E I O U (dethklok)I actually heard this song before, but didn't realize it until I started listening. Anyways, not a huge SOAD fan.
It certainly was weird, but not a kind of weird that I got enjoyment out of.
