Depending on what you mean by nasty, I do that almost daily.

UPDATE TIME BITCHES. HOLY SHIT ZANDER DIDN'T GET 5 POINTS THIS TIME ZOMFG:

5 Points - Ultimetalhead - "The Great Plains" by Scale the Summit. All I have to say about this one is YESYESYESSOGOODYESYESYESYES. Fucking wonderful song, mang.

5 points - Quad - "Arubaluba" by Camel. Being the prog nerd I am, it's no doubt this was going to be a winner. I have always been very aware of Camel, but never gave them an honest listen. This was fucking fantastic. Very 70s. Very prog. I loved it.

4 points - Gorille - "La Marche" by Music for Money. I assume this is post rock. I don't know the genre enough to call it out correctly. But who cares, this song was fucking cool. Very creepy at times, and I really loved the atmospheric vibe I got from it. Very cool stuff mang. AND HEY LOOK 4 POINTS FOR GORILLE THIS TIME

4 points - SkyNivingDinja - "Helix Nebula" by Anamanaguchi. Okay so, I've never been all that huge on chiptunes. I mean, I love Norrin_Radd for being death metal chiptunes, but other than that I've never tried anything else out because of a sheer lack of interest. But this, this is cool as fuck. And well happy as fuck. Which was really refreshing to me.

3 points - Letters - "Suicide by Star" by God is an Astronaut. I wanted to like this a bit more than I did, but it kind of came off as a very standard post rock song. It wasn't bad by any means, but it sounds a lot like the majority of post rock I've heard in the past.

3 points - ClairvoyantisMajesty - "Mehr Als Alles Andere" by Bersarin Quartett. Not sure what to say about this one. I just simply liked it. It had a really cool vibe to it.

2 points - Ravenheart - "The Antikythera Mechanism" by BT. Once again, I really wanted to like this one. My issue with this song is that...while it eventually does go somewhere, it doesn't quite go the places I'd like it to go, if that makes any sense. The build up just felt like it was the main idea of the song, without much climax or resolution. Sorry mang, this one just didn't cut it.

RESULTS YOU WHORES:
ClairvoyantCat - 11 points
SkyNivingDinja - 14 points
Ravenheart - 17 points
Quad - 14 points
Gorille - 13 points
Letters - 15 points
Ultimetalhead - 17 points

Next round:
Atmospheric. I won't hold it against any of you but...INB4 NOTHING BUT POST ROCK.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

But you still fail for not hearing STS till now. Someone like you should have been on that shit as soon as they replaced Beardfish for PN09.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #81 on:** July 14, 2011, 02:21:01 PM »

FUCKING FUCK YES.

I might be a while picking for this round. I have a bunch of different options.

Gorille85 · « **Reply #82 on:** July 14, 2011, 03:22:30 PM »

Awesome!! And yeah I don't even what it is.

Something between post-rock, electronic and avant-garde.

Big time fail for rating BT so low. Although admittedly that song probably isn't particularly suited to your tastes.

Tripp · « **Reply #87 on:** July 14, 2011, 04:50:17 PM »

Too bad BT is the worst sounding band ever. I applaud Alex for rating it as low as he did.

I've been banned so I haven't sent a song you fucktards.

EDIT: cent

Still need songs from Matt and Seth.

Come on, man. This is getting ridiculous. If anyone didn't send anything still, they should suffer for their transgression.

AWARD THEM 0 POINTS.

lateralus88 · « **Reply #95 on:** July 25, 2011, 01:36:16 AM »

FUCK ALL OF YOU HERE ARE SOME RESULTS MOTHER FUCKER:

5 points - Gorille - "Everything You Do Is A Balloon" by Boards of Canada. Yes. Yes. FUCKING YES. That is all.

5 points - Letters - Some French shit by Alcest. Very awesome song. Bonus points for black metal. Definitely one of those bands I should not be putting off as much as I do.

4 points - DykNivingSinja - "Atlantic" by Thrice. So far, from select other songs I have heard, I was never impressed by these guys. But well, lo and behold I really, really liked this song. A lot. Great choice.

3 points - Ultimetalhead - "Beautiful One" by that solo project Anneke did who I'm too lazy to copy/paste. In all honesty, I wasn't all that impressed by this. Her voice is fantastic, yes. In fact, that's what really saved this from a 2 pointer. The song isn't bad, but I didn't love it like I thought I might.

3 points - Ravenheart - "The Canyon Behind Her" by Dredg. I think I've been drawn in by too much hype with this band. I was expecting to really get into it. And once again it's not that the song was bad by any means. It just didn't hit me as strong as the top three of the round. I know this band must have a lot of good material, but I still don't get what makes it an eargasm to most. Good rergardless.

2 points - Quad - "Chapter I: Introverting Dimensions" by the Fall of Troy. So to preface this a little: I've known about FoT for a very long time, but could NEVER EVER EVER get into them. They are amazing musicians on so many different counts, all of them. Especially that Thomas Erak guy who is an unbelievable guitar player. But now here is where my problem is. Their. Vocals. Are. Fucking. Balls. I know, I'm going to sound like Justin when he talks about Coheed. But I literally just can not stand it. It's grating to me. I will probably get shit for this but he sounds like what Claudio Sanchez would sound like if he...you know...sucked. But again, don't get me wrong, outside of that they are great musicians. It's a shame they broke up (side note: My close friend has his guitar signed by Erak from their farewell tour). Oh and also this song was hardly what I was looking for when it comes to atmospheric music. Oh well.

1 point - ClairvoyantCat - "The Whilhelm Scream" by James Blake. Sorry mang, just wasn't all that impressed by this at all. Not my cup of tea I suppose.

Here are the current rankings:
ClairvoyantCat - 12 points
SkyNivingDinja - 18 points
Ravenheart - 20 points
Quad - 16 points
Gorille - 18 points
Letters - 20 points
Ultimetalhead - 20 points

Alright, another round I am taking fairly seriously, oddly enough. FUCKING BIZARRE. I want something extremely out there. Obviously, Unexpect is not allowed. But you get the idea. Give me something that will cause me to shout "WTF" as I furiously rub one out to the pure, sexy insanity. Hopefully you can all come up with something. If not, send me a message and we will work it out.

*Any Static Crap is an automatic loss of all points and bread.

Fuck, you already listen to DSO, Polkadot Cadaver, and DFD. Its going to be tough to find something now...

I checked it and there wasn't any points there. Just some douche sending me some junk mail.
