Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
EDIT: Damn it pope beat me to Morm's post. Intro sounds a bit like something TSO would do, but this is a bit more progressive and disorganized. I like the skill and technique, but the composition doesn't bridge well between movements. 9/10 for technique and ingenuity, but 4/10 for flow.
EDIT: Removing posts not related to the thread so as not to derail it. That and I'm not supposed to be offended when people dislike my stuff, so meh everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Guys please try not to post unless you both rate the song above you and provide a new one. I think it's great if you want to comment on songs other than the one directly above you, but do it in a post where you also do both of those things. Otherwise the thread is gonna derail.
@WaterBomb, beautiful piece of prog there. Flowed very well, and I loved the way they upped the tempo towards the end. 4.5/5 (you don't NEED to have an actual rating here, if you want to post one though thats great)
@ Paranoia Survivor: I've heard of Metric many times but never really listened to them because I don't like female singers. But from the few songs I've heard, they're pretty good. Just not to my taste. 7/10
@ Mike B: Another female singer, ew. But other than that it's catchy, I guess. I don't really like how she sings, like her accent or something. 6.5/10
@all4game
I've always wondered what they sound like, but I'm too lazy to check out bands in general. Pretty cool song though... Not really my style but it's got a lot of soul which I appreciate in any music. I was skeptical about the vocals at first but his range is pretty good.
Needless to say this is my favorite band ever. This is a nice relaxed song, and it gets a little heavy during the middle. I'm at a loss for creativity right now so I can't write too much about it at the moment.
@norulz: Not bad. I like the guitar part in it for sure, but this kind of music has never really been my thing, and sadly, this song hasn't changed it for me. I'm not saying it's bad, just saying that it isn't my tastes.
ok I have to say this is really good, it's totally the type of sound I really love.
all these different string instruments it's meshing so well ahhhhhh
plus the lyrics aren't that bad, and man these guys have a great sound going on with their voices and the background and everything
9/10
I think we have real similar tastes
that thing from Get Him to the Greek
this song is a perfect parody of modern pop 'mainstream' music imo
man I was going to post it in that other thread where they were discussing it but it got deleted?????
That was pretty painful to listen to, Wick. If I were going to rate it seriously, I would say the vocals were really annoying and Rose Byrne's voice is more annoying than an English teacher. Obviously the lyrics are terrible. The beats are annoying. All around terrible song.
1/10.
Lady Madonna - The Beatles
I just began taking piano lessons in the past month or so, so I've been really getting into music that has a lot of piano, and Lady Madonna is probably one of my favorite songs right now. All of the Beatles's music is good for piano, though.
@ Assassinfred (below): I've posted enough in this thread for one night lol, but I wanted to reply. xD I love the beginning of that song, it just gets worse as it goes along imo.. Breaking Benjamin isn't really my style.
@all4game: Loved it. The vocals were excellent, and the techno-ish riffs in the background absolutely made this song. I thoroughly enjoyed it, good pick.
