Mini-Review The Song Above You

I think they sound more like a french Joy division.

7.5/10

That was really good but i got a little sick of the horns, they dragged on for too long.

Honestly. Norg I was reminded of some interlude from Joe Hahn of Linkin Park that would be on an album of theirs. It was just how it sounded to me.

I'd rate it a 5/10.

I do like a bit of melodeath, but much of it bores me, to be honest. This was quite decent. I liked a lot of the rather fresh sounding riffs leading up to the chorus, but about 1½ minutes into the song it starts being kind of overly simple - resorting to lots of basic chugging and dull groves. I also find the singer to be pretty monotonous, although his high-pitched roar was kind of interesting at first.
Production wise, this reminded me a lot of the more recent Arch Enemy offerings and I guess I'd like it to sound less polished. There was a nice little bass fill somewhere, but otherwise the bass felt very dulled and the kick drum too.
Nice riffs in the verse though.

6/10

I'll post this then:

I really liked the atmospheric tone to it at first, but the song just started dragging on and never really went anywhere, even with the style change midway through the song. 5.5/10

4/10

I liked the guitar riff but i didn't like the vocals and the overall vibe of the song.

Drive Like Jehu ****ing rules. The dissonant guitars are my favourite bit. 9/10

8/10

that was.. a trip.

conceptually i don't even know how you pull a song like that off and still make it sound coherent and good. im into that trippy abstract stuff so i thought it was great.
