Round 8 Results!Jason Richardson Sparrow jingle.boy 8.7 Yeah man, the electric guitar does everything it can to portray a feeling of hopelessness or a battle, I don't know, music is subjective, but that's what I got out of it. The music video is stunning (it doesn't add on to this score, just mentioning it). Really powerful song.
Disillusion Tormento romdrums 8.6 This song was a trip for me. It feels like I am in a crazy storm, and the different vocal styles make me feel like I am IN the song. Quite a feeling, so this song gets a cool boost from that. Good music overall, too.
Moon Tooth The I That Never Dies ReaperKK 8.6 Pretty strong song, it feels like it gets a lot done in...3 minutes?! That's pretty insane. The music is good and the lyrics were nice to this math teacher's heart.
Rioghan Bruises Ariich 8.6 This was a very interesting song. After I got done shitting my pants on that first scream, it became a fun habit to listen for the scream again. Really intense emotions and I could feel those emotions weaving in and out. Very solid song.
Ghost Kaisarion Luke 8.5 This is a rocking song. I like the guitar (and/or keyboard?) leads. Vocals are smooth as I am coming to expect from this band. I solidly enjoyed this song.
Befell Tribulation Wilted TAC 8.5 This is good, reminds me of some stuff I grew up on in my late teens and early 20s. I wasn't ever huge into metalcore, but some of it was good, and I have a friend from that time that is in a band to this day. The cleans are a great balance to the harsh vocals, the guitars let this song fly nicely. And the riffage is good. Solid song!
Ryo Okumoto Chrysalis King 8.5 I seriously thought this was Neal Morse until it got to a certain point. The song has some nice chill stuff going on, and the parts where it builds up a bit more have some nice dynamics as well. Really cool proggy song. It does seem to repeat one too many times for my taste, but otherwise a very solid song. (Yes, funny coming from a Neal Morse fan)
Bloodywood Machi Bhasad lonestar 8.5 This goes hard. I enjoyed the live video you sent as well, a great live song. The Indian influences give it enough of a distinctive edge. The soft part toward the end is sweet as well. Great and short, you know I like that.
Megadeth Mission to Mars faizoff 8.4 This song was weird for me. I liked it a lot on first listen, and more listens kind of spelled out for me that this song is just okay. Megadeth is hit or miss with me anyway, so being just okay is better than it could have been. I prefer when the band has more melodic lines to it.
Weyes Blood Twin Flame tomislav 8.4 A nice floaty song. This song came after a ton of metal tracks before it, and like many people, a nicely set-up playlist makes songs like this stand out a little more. It's still not totally my stuff, but the music and ambience provided makes this song solid.
An Abstract Illusion This Torment Has No End, Only New Beginnings Puppies 8.3 This song has a nice intro, slowly brings you in, then the band comes in. I think going right into the harsh vocals turned me off though. The middle is really good though. The outro is also nice. It is a bit long for what I like, and by the end I was waiting for it to end, even if I enjoyed a good amount of it.
Once Human - Only in Death vmads 8.3 This is a solid metal song. So that vocalist is female? Whoever is singing has a great metal voice. I liked the instrumentation and vocals but overall I didn't get connected with it as much as I would have liked, though it was a good listen.
Taylor Swift Karma stadler 8.3 This is fine. I'm not a big pop fan, but I like some TS songs from over a decade ago. She sounds like she is having a good time making music, and is progressing her sound. The lyrics are interesting, but this isn't my favorite flavor of Swift, I think. But this was a nice listen.
Psychonaut Violate Consensus Reality Litho 8.2 There is some atmosphere here, which is a positive, and some overall good riffs. But for me, this song falls a bit flat otherwise. I give it some points for that atmosphere and not being bad, but once it was over I could hardly remember the song.
Kendrick Lamar Mother I Sober Sacul 8.2 I am not much of a rap fan, though, is this rap? I think it is. I appreciate the genre regardless, it's not easy to make sound good IMO. I don't pay much attention to lyrics, but the lyrics here are powerful and a slight bit relatable (being a child helplessly watching your mother deal with stuff). So this score is with all that in account, it's not bad but it's not really my thing, while I really like the lyrics.
Overall Impressions: Another solid and consistent playlist. Nothing too high or low, just...solid. I enjoyed it!
