Rate The Song Above You

[Macca]

We used to have this on the old board, I always thought it was a pretty cool idea but the thread died a while back. Try and get it going again. You rate the song above you and post a song of your own, preferably a youtube vid so people unfamiliar with the song can vote. I'll start.

Music: 7 It's a little pop-ier than a lot of what I listen to, but has a nice groove through the song, and many interesting transitions throughout that keep it fresh. Occasionally it seems like it's getting meh, but then it changes and keeps you listening. Many good parts in there.

Vocals: 5 Some good notes, some kinda Robert Smith-like whiny notes.

Cover Photo: 10 Cartoon hottie entertaining herself. Inappropriately provocative.

Overall: 7. I like the diversity. It's creative. Overall, the song is not my favorite performance, but has some really good moments, and it's much better than I would have expected.

8/10, its a pretty good tune.

Edgewater - Eyes Wired Shut

[Macca]

Hmmmm...5/10. Not bad, but not particularly good. Sounds pretty run of the mill rock to me, nothing that really makes it stand out from any other rock band out there.

Alcest - Faiseurs de Mondes

[Heretic]

8/10. Alcest is always beautiful.

8/10
Great band, so underrated! One of my fav cd's of all time, to be honest.
Definitely not my favourite song from 'The Devil...' but it is great nevertheless.

7/10. Really liked the vocals and lyrics. Nice little guitar riff, but got kinda repetitive. Very cool, smooth tune.

That title reminded me of this album, The Chemical Wedding

Bruce Dickinson, The Book of Thel

6/10 just because the music is good, but I really really don't like his vocals and lyrics at all. Maybe it's because I don't like Iron Maiden.

Story Of The Year - The Ghost Of You And I

[youtube]http://youtu.be/8G59FVj6-4g[/youtube]

[Jaded Rescue]

8/10. The riff is rockin', and I love the variation of it at the end, as well as all the half-time stuff. Lyrics aren't the most original but they certainly aren't bad, I'm surprised I hear the song sooner, it's right up my alley!

Eve 6 - Think Twice

[MylesKennedyIsGod]

6/10 Not a big fan of his voice or the lyrics, but he can definitely portray his emotions well. The instrumentals are pretty good.

Andy Wagner-Live in a Dream

I give it an 8 out of 10. Reminds me of Stevie Nicks meets Nirvana
Rob Thomas - Now Comes The Night

6/10....despite your embedding fail

Fleet Foxes - He Doesn't Know Why

[youtube]http://youtu.be/gjgkRoPLYRk[/youtube]

[gbruin]

6/10. I tried to like it, because I usually like the stuff Macca pulls out, but it just kinda sounded like a mix of U2 and 70's pop. I'll try it again, maybe I missed something

But check this on the cover art. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlandish_Proverbs
There was a whole period of Dutch art featuring these big busy pastoral town scenes that had a bunch of hidden events and themes. So there's my Dutch Art History lesson for today. Back to music...

Karnivool - All I Know
[youtube]http://youtu.be/18SUFbABxNQ[/youtube]

[Macca]

I'll give it a 7/10....the second half of the song is nae bad. There's something about Karnivool I just can't get into though.

Right lads, I expect nothing less than a stellar rating for this.

Agalloch - Fire Above, Ice Below

10/10 - The music is so awesome all the way through, love the dark feel to it. Digging those creepy vocals and lyrics as well. I will have to check these guys out.
Now let's go with this (it's just been linked to me).

Tremonti - The Things I've Seen

10/10...I like it a lot

5/10 The guitar reminds me of a Def Leppard song. Vocalist isn't bad but I'm not big on the lyrics.. I found it kinda cliche.

Tal Bachman - She's So High

Song reminds me of the movie "Shes Out Of My League"
