Title: Forced Listening Thread
Post by: Explolguy on 2012 Jun 09, 14:46:38
Finally getting around to making this again, since it got deleted with a crapton of other threads a while ago.

Anyways, refresher on what to do:

Basically the idea is this: We post a song, any song, that we like. The following poster must listen to it, even if it is not a genre he/she likes and critique it. What did he/she like, what did he/she not like? You get the idea.

A few simple rules to follow:

1. No rick-rolls, trololo, stupidity, etc. The exception to this is if you actually want someone to truly critique the song. Otherwise, don't. It's not funny.

2. A song must be listened to, in full, before critiquing it. The only exception to this rule is if the song is fifteen or more minutes.

3. When you critique a song, actually critique it. No going, "I liked it," or, "I hated it." Give a reason.

4. This wasn't a rule in the last thread, but I thought of it a while ago: Post a youtube link to the song (obviously), but also post the name and artist in your post. That way, if the video gets taken down, or isn't available in the next poster's country, they can look it up and listen to it.

5. Remember to follow the rules of the forum and not post anything incredibly vulgar or offensive. We have a large age range of users browsing the forums. If your song does contain any vulgar language, kindly point it out when posting the song.

With that, I'll get this thread started again:

Seether-Pass Slowly

Title: Re: Forced Listening Thread
Post by: Legulus on 2012 Jun 09, 15:05:56
I must say, I like this side of Seether's music. Seriously, I love the lyrics and just how beautiful the song sounds :) And dat chorus. I found the beginning of the bridge to be the only weak point, but that's just me since I don't really like random "Oh yeah"s, etc etc.

I must say i really enjoyed it. The feeling i got then i heard it was just incredible.

Post by: Explolguy on 2012 Jun 09, 16:12:17
That was...annoying. I liked the speed of the song, but that's about it. Everything else just annoyed me. I'm not a huge fan of the genre to begin with, but that certainly didn't help either.

Thank you GH:WT for this song..

OMG I remember this song! :D It really displays musical talent, IMO. Although it's not really my style of music; I find it a bit too soft. That's just my opinion based on musical preference though. I do still recognize the song's general greatness.

I loved the guitar riff in that song, all though I don´t listen to that kind of rock, I found it highly enjoyable to listen to.

Post by: Little Judas on 2012 Jun 14, 18:27:15
It was a fun song. Some good guitar parts.
But that electronic stuff at 2'10", did not have to be there, it kind of ruined the song because it lost its drive.


Into Eternity - Surrounded By Night

Title: Re: Forced Listening Thread
Post by: Explolguy on 2012 Jun 14, 22:50:43
The song seemed pretty...standard for me. I hesitate to say, "forgettable" though. It was an entertaining piece, but there really wasn't anything special about it.

but the song is good if you like some fast music and some metal-rock taste music. so i think its really good.

Wow, reggae and electro. I never would've thought that the combination would work so well. I really liked it, especially the drops.



Eve from the Dynasty Warriors 4 OST
Title: Re: Forced Listening Thread
Post by: Doomguy on 2012 Jun 15, 14:07:15
I loved the guitar riffs and a bit of the synth type sounds, but the notes got repetitive very quickly. Still, a decent video game soundtrack. Speaking of, I found that this song made a cameo in Max Payne 2 while on a nostalgia run.

Title: Re: Forced Listening Thread
Post by: Explolguy on 2012 Jun 21, 10:21:37
The mood set by the instruments and lyrics was great, and they went well with each other. Nobody tried anything too fancy, and pretty much kept it simple throughout the song. I liked it, and I'll probably end up checking out more of their work.

Stone Temple Pilots-Unglued
Title: Re: Forced Listening Thread
Post by: Legulus on 2012 Jun 21, 10:30:29
I really like the instrumental behind it. I found the lyrics and rhythm catchy. And dat short guitar solo <3
Although I thought the ending was a bit abrupt, and the vocals were average. That said, interesting band and I may look more into them when I'm bored.



The Ballad of St. Augustine by Disciple
Title: Re: Forced Listening Thread
Post by: QB57.117cal on 2012 Jun 22, 18:50:07
I thought the song was OK. I didn't really much care for mixing Christianity with rock, with each verse strangely sung. I could not follow what the meaning of the song was. Me being atheist also didn't help either. (I know what your thinking "Oh NOOOOO h3s atheist! hes gay and will be the next adolf with the fourth r3ich!!!!" Well, I'm not gay, I'm not a satanist, and Adolf had every Wehrmacht belt buckle engraved with "Gott mit uns." or God is with us.) I thought the instrumentals were rather good though.

It's cool bro, I don't judge and I respect your opinion :)

As for your song, I quite liked it. It was really nice and relaxing, yet catchy. I liked the break and outro starting at around 2:45 in. However the song in general did get a bit repetitive.

Louder Than Thunder by The Devil Wears Prada

Post by: QB57.117cal on 2012 Jul 03, 14:50:52
I cant quite put my finger of the genre of song, I normally don't listen to these types of songs. It did seem slow throughout the song, and some lyrics were repetitive, typically what I hear from those types of songs. It gave me that one weird feeling. I don't really know what to say about the song. It is out of the ordinary to me.

Title: Re: Forced Listening Thread
Post by: Captain0Ron on 2012 Jul 05, 05:36:46
So... touching...  :')
Jk, but I did like the song (other than the lyrics(I don't seem to like the lyrics to anything much :\))
The guitar sounded great, and I loved the drums. I could listen to that for long periods of time, without the lyrics.

Pretty good stuff. I'm not a huge electronic (i don't really know what to call that specific genre) fan, but it's good music to work to. Got a little repetitive, but not unbearably so.

Ok, since it's been mostly rock and electronic stuff, i think i'll toss a curveball at y'all.

Oh god, I love this song! I used to have a VHS with the old Tex Avery cartoon about the Owl who loved to singa. Al Jolson, as always, is fantastic, but toss in Cab Calloway, and you've got yourself a classic.

I liked the song, except for the "Super space invader" voice samples. They were pretty annoying and ruined the parts they were implented in.

Floating Darkness by Tatsh
Title: Re: Forced Listening Thread
Post by: Little Judas on 2012 Jul 18, 20:47:57
It started promising, I even liked the addition of the keyboard. It brought the song more "volume", a wider feel to it.
But that all changed when the electronica attacked, it became to much, the guitar faded to the back.
I like the guitar, I don't like it when the guitar is pushed to the back by techno.

I'm sorry, but no. It actually give me a headache.
It was quite repetitive and the parts that weren't were probably intended as solos,
trying to achieve a guitarsolo is possible on an electronic device is possible, but it sounded
like white noise with some hints to an arpeggio.

Ah, we got some Naruto music here! Meh, the song's not really my style. It sounded weird with the use of the lute (I assume that's the instrument I'm referring to). And those "see" or whatever samples that were played at some parts did dampen the song. This isn't a song that I really like, but I do see how others may like a song like this.

In my opinion though, it's a 4/10

Man I'm little surprise you didn't like the Naruto one because I truly love that song. Well anyway the song you got me to listen to is OK. I didn't like how vocal went with song. I guess it the way she singing it. So I give this song a 6/10

Ok it time for some metal.

I think it is because your links are either in "https://" instead of "http://". You got something to hide...?
Or just strange links like "http://youtu.be/[insert code]".

My advice: when watching the video you would like to post --> 1. Right click the video, 2. Click on "Copy Video-URL" normally the first one with Firefox,
3. Paste the link with the special BBC (, 4. Delete the "s" from "https://" if necessary).

Rush - Double Agent
Title: Re: Forced Listening Thread
Post by: Little Judas on 2012 Aug 05, 10:38:14
As for someone who only knows Rush' first 4 albums, it is great to hear some other material.
It is certainly harder than what I expected, you can really hear parts that sounded like the Prog Metal acts like Dream Theater.
Which points out Rush' influence on those bands.

Anyway, it's a great song, but for some reason it isn't that memorable.

Only two flaws in my opinion, The pronunciation of Philadelphia and the drums.

Title: Re: Forced Listening Thread
Post by: Doomguy on 2012 Aug 26, 16:57:12
What a surprisingly good track! The more melodic metalcore blended well with the depressing lyrics, usually metal is about agression but this track shows that metal doesn't have to be about anger and killing stuff.



This song, however, has a more punk attitude to the metalcore sound.
Title: Re: Forced Listening Thread
Post by: Little Judas on 2012 Aug 26, 19:07:40
First of all, probably wasn't the most important aspect, but one of them had a Telecaster, you don't see that a lot in heavy music.

Now the music, still not a fan of the vocals, tried to eliminate that aspect of the song.
Focused more on the instruments, the guitar was at moments more melodic and harmonized than, sorry, excpected.
Those breaks, or so I think it's called, were unnecessary. Then again, I'm more of a solo-loving guy.
The rest seemed what I expected. the song did not convinced me.

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Title: Re: Forced Listening Thread
Post by: Legulus on 2012 Aug 27, 14:44:36
I listened to most of the song; just skipped a few seconds here and there to trim the length.

A song being 26 minutes long is both a gift and a curse, in that, it displays talent, but may not be too enjoyable for others.
I listen to Pink Floyd myself, but even then, I found the vocals out of place in this song. It could've worked as an instrumental.
I find some of the transitions to be lacking. However, the parts that were transitioned into were brilliant; meaning, all of the song's riffs and such were great.

6.5/10, mainly because of the length. That's just me though.

I was quite impressed, it is a band I must look into after writing this.
Starting out with an iconic doubleneck raised my expectations very high and still they managed to pass.
The voice also reminded me of Skindred, the way of singing I mean.

Only 2 negative points: Those Pinch Harmonics in the riffs where a bit random and served no purpose.
Second, the speakers from my laptop are bad so I couldn't experience the whole thing.

Great song, you can hear that it's not the average Stoner-riff but that they have something extra.
Also a nice video.

I saw the spoilers just due to the line I thought they were part of your signature. Derp.

Quite a pleasant song. Heartily enjoyed the drumming. Can't think of anything I necessarily disliked about it. I wasn't quite in the right mood for it though. So the riffs didn't hit me that well.

Instrumentals were good, to me more as something you hear at the background of a bar, but still nice.
The voice on the other hand bothered me, I don't know why but it did.

#1 Really good instrumentals, kinda slow, and for some reason I have never been able to like Robert Plant's voice which has really kept from getting into them.

#2 Quite a funny bit, he's obviously a very talented performer, but doesn't seem like much of a "song". Still enjoyable though and flows well. Reminded me of Tenacious D due to the silliness.

Quite a epic feeling song, with a great build up. But, it did end up feeling a bit hollow to me without any vocals.

Another Icarus song:

I started this song with enthusiasm due to the beautiful girl with the violin.
Therefore I was a bit disappointed that the background music was all computer music.

But I blocked that out a bit and focused on the violin music and the Fallout-like-but-with-more-trees landscape.
That was something I could enjoy, I don't know much about violins she's seemed quite talented in my opinion.

If the background music was a bit more to my liking I would certainly have looked up some more of her.

Is that...praise rock music? Curious.
I liked it. It has that 90s punk/alternative feel that makes me think of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
I give it: 9/10
I give the honky-tonk piano: 7/10 (wasn't nearly enough of it for my liking)

If anything it's the opposite.

Anyway, I can appreciate a good folksy banjo jam session. Bit slower than my usual style but there's nothing wrong with a little chill-out music every now and then.

Interesting tune, but despite the nice swing it has, the song's tuen seemed to feel almost tired after a certain amount of time. That's not always a bad thing, but in particular it felt like it was... well, drawling.

However, what I did enjoy was the harmony in their voices when they sang. It brought out a good vibration for the beat. And I can see this song being used in a  movie at some point, but more for a traveling scene. It's nice to try something new as well, as I don't commonly listen to this kind of music. But what caught my attention most, is that listening to the lyrics more carefully allows you to hear a story. Some people brush this off and just listen to the drawl side of it. Over all, I think the selection deserves a good 7/10.

Wow, I found that quite soothing. It's not my genre of music of course', since I usually listen to the heaviest and the fastest metal   :3. But I did actually enjoy it, and I followed your instructions Vinyl Light and imagined far and wide. Bonus: I actually listened again when I was done. I guess I need a break from the metal once and a while  lol



I couldn't think of a song for a while, then I remembered this one. It was my late girlfriends favorite song and I thought I'd share it  ^-^

Been looking for something like this, so excuse me for the Necro.

Well, just so you don't look awkward I'll necro with you.


This is not a genre I'm much of a fan of. That being said I do listen to all songs all the way through before saying anything.
To me the song was nice, to someone who enjoys this type of music it probably sounds great. Unfortunately I cannot relate to this song and I wasn't even sure if all the lyrics were in a language I know but from a purely musical standpoint I'll put it in the well-made category. Just happens to be something I don't enjoy, sorry if you were hoping for a more connected critique. :P

It's not something I'd listen to. So leaning on the "no, but thanks." side of "meh".

To me, it was just sort of repetitive. Certainly it'd be something I'd listen to for the sake of ambiance. But if I wasn't doing anything else and could/would pay attention to the music I'd get done with it pretty quick.

The soft tones and vocals carry the lyrics with a gentle sadness and melodrama. I like the absence of other sound; its only his guitar and his singing which makes it feel much more lonely which carries this song well. It's sad though, it gives the feeling of absolutely giving up and letting go.

That was actually better than you advertised. I was expecting bass dropped so hard it breaks the floor, or someone belching loud into a microphone. But what I get is a sort of top-tapping New York Swing Jazz.

I'll certainly have to like it, and maybe consider it for tossing it up onto my favorite's list.
