Mini-Review The Song Above You

TechnicLePanther · 11-03-2015, 07:25 PM

It's good for background music, or perhaps a film soundtrack. Drony. 6/10

And now for one of Sonic Youth's poppiest songs.

never really dug the SY 1/5 seems to generic to me but hey that's just me

Ilistentoeverything · 11-03-2015, 08:37 PM

I like it, though the chorus is pretty meh. 7/10

I'm currently listening to this. It just really relaxes me. The lyrics are simple, but feel like poetry at the same time. lol

It doesn't speak to me, but when listening to the elements of the song (guitar work, vocals), the word that comes to mind is that the track is "consistent" from a production standpoint. 4.5/10.

6/10

I liked the soulful tone the song has but it's a little too pop at times, it strikes me as the kind of song that would've sound better if it were recorded in the 60's but since it's a modern song it sounds too polished.. Still, Good song.

I searched and I wasn't able to find anything similar. If I somehow missed it or posted this thread in the wrong place, sorry.

Brought this from another forum (site). Rate the track the person above you is listening to from a 1-10 rating scale, 1 being "Horrible/Never want to hear again" and 10 being "Amazing!!" This does include instrumental tracks! Under your rating, explain the reason's why you like or dislike it.

The rules:
You must post artist/band name and track name.
You must provide a URL or post a video to listen to the track (example: YouTube).
You cannot rate your own tracks.
Don't double post. Wait till someone else leaves a post after you.
Only one track with each post.

Anyway, I'll start:

Social Distortion - 99 To Life

The Batlord · 12-03-2015, 08:05 PM

Awesome idea for a thread. Anyways...

8/10

Fun but melancholy, with a great, country vibe that makes me want to get wasted in a dive bar. Which is, like... all of Social Distortion's (good) songs.

Fates Warning - "One Thousand Fires"

This thread doesn't seem that different from the mini-review the song above you thread which is pretty dead atm so i guess i'll use this one instead.

3/10

I didn't like at all, i found the music arrangement boring and generic and found myself skipping the song searching for a good part that never came.

Dead Milkmen - Meaningless Upbeat Happy Song

The Identity Matrix · 12-03-2015, 08:51 PM

Was not expecting to enjoy that.

7/10 Lyrically pretty funny, nothing special instrumentally, but overall I actually enjoyed it.

The Strokes - Gratisfaction

The Batlord · 12-05-2015, 12:03 PM

8/10

Love the bouncy, new wave rhythm, and the singer has a way with accentuating the beat, while still changing his vocal rhythm and pronunciation style that keeps the ear perked. Pretty damn fun song. Reminds me if The Replacements were a Britpop band.

Hawkwind - "Magnu"
