for who ever should review this, I think it would be better if you disregarded the video. Somehow, I don't think the lyrics are at all important.

3/10. I'm not the best person to review it though, I have a general disdain for the entire genre. Good guitar solo though.

Django Reinhardt is definitely one of my favorite jazz musicians. His guitar work is always so intricate and beautiful, yet he doesn't dominate the other instruments. He allows the other musicians to be heard, having them perfectly blend together within music. This not only shows his modesty towards his skill at the guitar, but it also shows his dedication to creating great jazz.

Here's mine. It's the third track from Merzbow's album, Pulse Demon.

7/10.....his vocals were a little bit much.....but at the same time fitting....i really enjoyed the math elements towards the end of the song

Really, really good. Love the vocals and that Pixies-like wailing guitar. 7.5/10

^Not a song or style that I particularly like, but it's catchy. Don't really like the vocals toward the end very much. The first half was decent, the second half of the song kind of killed it for me. 5/10

Ehh I don't like Rise Against, they bore me. 5/10

They used to be really good, but they've turned into Pennywise...releasing the same album over and over (not that I've heard their last 2...but I don't think I need to). Rise Against's first 3 are the only ones needed.

Eh, it's a typical shoegaze, dream pop, which I generally like, but can very often start to bore me. This song is somewhat bland, doesn't grab me, can't really hear anything to hold my attention. It has a typical floating quality and atmosphere, but that alone is not enough. 5,5/10

Actually liked this pretty much. I don't usually like instrumentals very much but this one kept switching it up and kept me entertained. I liked the quiet backing vocals in the middle, basically a chant, but it added some mire variety to the song. 7/10
