Forced Listening Thread

[QB57.117cal]

The song did seem slow and lazy, or its because  I'm listing to heavier stuff. I thought it was ok, but I don't listen to this style of rock often.

[Lucien]

Errr, that was a little intense. What language was that? German?

It was a happy tune; one you may hear upon achieving something in a video game like Kingdom Hearts. Overall, a well-done piece.

8/10

White Light by The Ghost Inside

I ask that you really look into the lyrics; they're beautiful.

[Doomguy]

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.

[Little Judas]

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.

I know it's a long one and the rules say you don't have to listen to all of it, therefore I recommend you listen to everything.

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond

[Legulus]

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.

Lucid Dream by EastNewSound

[videogamehunter]

The music is alright but it sound like too much some of anime music I listen too.

[Legulus]

It was bittersweet. Rather simple, but sometimes simplicity is what makes a song 

8/10

Blur by Zebrahead (Warning for 1 swear word)

[Ironfire]

Cool!.
Never heard of them before, but I like them. They really have a 90's punk feel, brings me right back to the days of eve6 and blink182.

Here is one of my current favorites,
Choose Me II - Xilent

[Little Judas]

I want to say positive things but I can't.
It's just not my kind of music.

Dream Theater - Under A Glass Moon

[videogamehunter]

I really couldn't get into it. No matter how hard I try.

[Little Judas]

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.

Blind Guardian - Harvest of Sorrow

[LutariFan]

The acoustic guitar was amazing! The chorus was really touching too.

Two Steps From Hell - Dragon Rider

[Legulus]

If the whole point of that song was to be epic, then, that was pretty epic! Not something I'd listen to for no reason, but maybe to enhance the epicness of my day.

7/10

Terrible Things by Mayday Parade (As the vid says, skip to 0:35)

[Little Judas]

I'll have you know, I listened to this song.
And I only cried for 20 minutes

But no, I liked it, it also has a weird vocal structure.

Anathema - Angelica

[Legulus]

A very nice power ballad! I loved it, honestly. It's going on my phone. That outro, especially

10/10

Don't Say Goodbye by Trust Company

[APonyFarce]

It's alright. Not crazy about it, but it's perfectly listenable.

Out of all the alt-rock songs sung at a girl I've ever heard, it's definitely one of them.

Kid Gloves- Doomtree

[jodahxii]

@ APonyFarce: I don't mind the song.

[videogamehunter]

Sorry I really Can't get into it.

[Little Judas]

It was a nice riff, something Ozric Tentacles would have used if their music was harder.
But it was really repetitive and that bugged me.
