Mini-Review The Song Above You

downwardspiral · 12-25-2010, 03:02 AM

Pretty good, only for the fact I don't listen to much electro anymore I would have probably enjoyed it a bit more, it just sounded a bit samey to me and didn't really seem to progress throughout. I thought at some point there was gonna be some big meaty drop but it didn't happen. I'll say 5/5 for this one.

YouTube - Helmet & House Of Pain - Just Another Victim

Amazing song. Even if you aren't feeling the song at the beginning, listen to it all anyway because the rap which comes in around halfway is immense.

Really like it, the beat just crawls into your head and stays there. Don't like her voice much but. 7/10

Abba time, f*ck the haters.

10/10 for the hair. I like Dancing Queen, so I didn't come in this totally ready to hate ABBA. The beginning instrument reminded me of Congraulations by MGMT, just the first few notes though. It's a pretty catchy song. 6.5/10

Now for one of my top songs of the year:

I like the song. Im not really a fan of Chrystal Castles that much but this song is lovely. Sad and all that stuff. Listened to it alot few weeks ago when I broke up with my gf. 9/10

^That was strangely addictive and I'm not sure why, especially since his 'rambling' is pretty straightforward and doesn't change much, at least that's how it sounds on the first listen. But I like it and I don't know why 7,5/10

I've been reminded of Popol Vuh today, so here's a piece of Nosferatu soundtrack
Popol Vuh - 'On the Way'

YouTube - nosferatu-herzog opening credits. (1979) (in the film context)

10/10....wow....why have i never searched out this soundtrack....i would say a quarter of my catalogue rips this off

Ain't That A Kick In The Head - Dean Martin

i just watch Ocean's 11 (the original) and this is by far one of the best parts of a great movie....check out the crazy xylophone solo!

7/10, fun lyrics and accompaniment but it didn't really stand out to me.
