FARTING INNOCENCE! I was bloody sure this song had two singers.
Just for fun I didn’t Google any of the growl-lyrics for this round, and this song has “Fuuuuuuck! Men of faith, where were you when your children bled to death?”, which is the situation that deserves that “Fuuuuuuck!” alright.
Except for a few chosen lines, these lyrics are on par for this type of songs, which means they’re astute enough to beat the two examples above, but that’s about it.
This band is like five cheesy succubi (succubuses?)—I saw the album cover—composing music. I can’t believe the album is named the way it’s named, either.
On one hand, the goal of this round’s theme was to get some songs with good female vocals, and this one fits the bill. On the other hand, the vocals are the only thing that deserves the praise here.
Electronic sounding drums, a few moments of clean vocals, a lot of vocal effects and an insane doom-like ending with more electronic sounds. Bring on your predictions on this one, I’m not saying anything else.
I expected death and peril and wisdom beyond mortal minds, but this chorus is pretty much made for some stupid dance moves. This is fun!
Strategy in Evermind’s Roulette 101:
Ballad round: send a female-fronted song
Pre-90s round: send a ballad from 2011
Female-fronted round: send a 19-minutes instrumental from 1975
With this band name, I expected the shittiest production, the bleakest album cover and the trademark vocals like the guy is screaming on top of his lungs, except he’s 65 years old, living in the freezing -45°C in Yakutsk and has asthma. You have disappointed me.
Whenever she goes on about seven million people, I can’t help but laugh because I remember those pretentious spoken word parts in Pain of Salvation’s Be. SIX THOUSANDS AND EIGHTY MILLION PEOPLE. The chorus here is... something.
That’s chaotic alright, like the band members are trying to randomly hit keys and drums and whatnot.
I left this song for the last impression, because not only I don’t have any impression for this one, in fact it’s so bland I don’t even have a stupid joke to offer to go along with it.
