8/10

Great song from Rush though not a highlight of their career.

 
The score had nothing to do with the visuals, it would've gotten the same score regardless.

These are your exact words.

It would've been better if there were no subtitles...
I can't give a negative so 0/10, how can you actually listen to that?

It seems to me you were also judging the visuals, but I may have just understood.

In my eyes he was just saying they were annoying, I doubt that affected the rating at all.

Maybe he would'e preferred to not have known it was about an adolescent girl taking her panties off. At least that's what I gathered it was about.

Anyway, moving on.

Eh.. Tbh it was kind of boring. Not their finest tune. 6.5/10



Angry men shouting about no reprieve etc. Didn't do much for me, 4/10.

Didn't care for it tbh, I found it a bit dull.

I would've given it a negative 2 without visuals, and then like a negative 4 with the subtitles. It's just limited at zero though.
 
I'll be honest, I've never heard of them but the music was pretty cool.

7.5/10


 
6/10

I liked the intro a lot, but once the vocals came in it got kind of cheesy. Didn't like the vocalist. Now, how about a happy little paranoid song?

 
I actually like a few songs by them, but this one was a big meh. But it wasn't bad so I give it a 6.5.

Minor language warning.
 
3/10 Pretentious posers



5/10

It was very interesting. I really liked the guitars.


First time hearing a Cardiacs song and you already like something... You're on the road to addiction otakukid96... Even I didn't like anything about them the first time I heard them... Glad I gave them a second chance though.

7.5/10. It's Bauhaus, never my favourite band but one I'd struggle to find a criticism of. Not their best track IMHO.

And now, my turn!



Not sure how you got that out of them.

Because it sounds like someone showing off to me...

Not my favorite by them either, just decided to post here for once and i just happened to be listening to it at the time.

Still don't see it.. The song is pretty simple. And if you take note of the band name its the polar opposite of things you claim. Don't really care about grades, just wanted a reason with substance.

Its silly how you claim a mosh band is pretentious and you come back with a spastic indie band that tries nothing but to stand out. Which good music does not make. The musicianship was fanciful incoherent noise and the vocals are reminiscent of Alvin and the Chipmunks invariably singing the same words in between random verse of broken poetry.

This thread lacks analysis... random grades or waiting till someone posts your favorite band so you can related and go 10/10 MAH FAHVORITE SAWNG!

Anyways.. 1/10 I hated it.

I apologise most sincerely if I have offended you. I based the style and tone of my statement off of what people who had previously posted in the thread had used.
I said that I found them to be 'pretentious posers' because that's how most heavy metal sounds to me. I used to like that sort of music, but at some point I went right off it (except Rage Against The Machine and Led Zeppelin, they're cool) and started finding just about anything with traditional guitar solos pretentious. I understand that our tastes differ, and that we have every right to have differing tastes, and express our different tastes.
People should not argue about things as ridiculous as metal vs indie, especially when a greater enemy exists.
Manufactured Pop Music... :scared:

There is no such thing as good music. Music is subjective. The music you love is just as good as that which I love, but I may not like yours and you may not like mine. That is the way things are.

Well, this thread sux

Baby I'm A Star - Prince
 
Well, this thread sux

This thread really does not suck. It's the "Oh why wasn't my chosen song rated at a 10" thread, or so it is turning out to be. Look, it's an open forum and it has to be expected that not every song chosen will "make the grade" as some might expect. Just grade the song and post up the next, then move on. Basically, you just have to deal with a low rating from time to time. Things in life do not always show up with a silver lining in every cloud.

Your chosen song may not be the next guys cup of tea ..... let's just deal with it, can we ? Or one of the Boys in Blue may just pay a visit to this one and throw the padlock at it if this kind of bickering keeps up.

As far as the above song, I'll give it a 6.5 / 10. I like some of Prince's stuff, but this song is a solid in betweener (word ?) :lol: It just has that kind of Funk sound, which in my opinion is alright, but not overly catchy.

This one sounds very... generic. The kind of music for elderly people that I'd like to avoid when I'm old. I hope you don't mind my honesty, but I can't rate it higher than 2/10.

Here's one of my favourites:

Give it a 2/10. Started out really slow. The singers inaudible wailing and moaning wasn't appealing. Instruments were the best part of the song.



Also; As a Canadian, huge fan of rock n' roll, and fan of April Wine, anything by them gets 10/10 from me. :P
 
I apologise most sincerely if I have offended you.

When it comes to music its impossible to offend me... All I was looking for was a reason. I don't give a rats ass about the rating... Your reason lacked a lot of substance so I second guessed it.

So pretty much 80% of music in this world is pretentious... Ok.

Manufactured Pop Music... :scared:

I don't associate with mindless genre wars. Manufactured pop music is the least of my concerns and it effects me in zero ways. I'm not a mindless metal head that hates indie... I hate the term indie though because indie isn't really indie anymore... Most indie bands are on major record labels that are just disguised as indie and are usually just another rock band with alternative instruments thrown in but you can find that in everything.

There is no such thing as good music. Music is subjective. The music you love is just as good as that which I love, but I may not like yours and you may not like mine. That is the way things are.

Agreed.

This thread really does not suck. It's the "Oh why wasn't my chosen song rated at a 10" thread, or so it is turning out to be.

I'm assuming this is directed at me, and like I said.. I don't care about ratings at all.. I just wanted substance. I have bigger things to worry about then if someone likes my music or not. But I'm trying to bring an actually discussion into this thread so its not just another post count booster thread with no real meaning.

@Nicksfix



Oxbow is sweet, I saw them live and the lead singer is border line crazy. Incredible stage presence, I was about 10 feet from him and his package shaking dance.

Well, this thread sux

Is this why you posted a song and didn't bother to rate mine? :rolleyes:
