    It was alright, not bad, but definately not the sort of thing I'd listen to out of choice. I'd imagine it would be good fun at a hardcore party with glowsticks etc. But not one to just chill out and listen to. 7 / 10.

    Edit, not working, not sure why, but click the link and listen to the whole thing anyway.

    His voice makes me want to throw up, the chorus is WAY too repetitive, and there is absoultely NO progression.

    6/10

    YouTube - As Blood Runs Black - Beneath the Surface

    Please, for the love of god, listen to those ****ing breakdowns.

    I have heard the song before, that's why I replied so fast.

    Read the OP in future, it states that if you've heard the song, you should listen to it again to refresh your memory, it's possible that your tastes have changed. I never used to like this song but it was on the radio yesterday and I loved it. I usually hate the band, mainly because my girlfriend likes them, but there's a reason this one got rather high in the charts.



    Anyway with yours it wasn't as bad as I was expecting, the breakdowns were quite different, but THAT was a 'voice that would make someone throw up'. I'm pretty sure you only didn't like AAR singer's voice because it's audible. It doesn't have to be heavy to be a good song. Anyway, Nothing really musically genius, just people trying to show off and get ahead of themselves.. Overall I think it was relatively talented, Suprisingish I suppose.. 5 / 10.

    This is just an example of musical genius, it's not the sort of genre that people listen to, but experimenting with sounds like this man does is what music is all about IMO.


    * I have formatted some of rules so that they are a bit more spaced out, and changed any initial thread mistakes. Also, as another note I should add in, try not to post purely one style of music if you are going to use this thread very often, it gets repetitive and trying something new is healthy. This is basically a reminder for everyone to read the OP. *

    rap? Er damn, my worse music choice to choose from :(
    But I looked up the lyrics, and they were interesting at best.

    But again im not a big fan of rap but i still listen to it here and there.

    5/10

    Take overly used, redundant arpeggios and sweep picking patterns, slam them in with a bass heavy drum beat, and growling heavy guitars, add a screamo singer, make the song sound like 8 different songs combined into one, and you've got modern day screamo(this song)... It's a decent song, I have to say it hurt having to listen to the screaming(but whatever floats your boat).

    Wow, that was like a more free feeling version of green day, except I like the singer here. Loved the song, could add that to my library if i'd be bothered to download songs.

    Fantastic, 8/10

    Quite... Original? Maybe I haven't heard much music like it because of my styles. Reminds me of something that would be in a commercial. The background music really is nice but the vocals are sort of bland, I think maybe a some more back up vocals and layering and different pitches would do this music some good. 4 / 5 because of the slightly boring vocal tone.

    While obviously not my kind of music, I am not one to bash it. I will say that I'm not a big fan of noise that cannot be understood, which is apparent in the guitar, and screaming unintelligible vocals. So I may seem biased against it, because it's just not my kind of music, don't take my review to heart.

    I actually really liked that, one of the first songs I've enjoyed in this thread tbh. The vocals were sort of strange, and the lyrics a tad repetitive, but I absolutely loved the musical aspect of it, the instruments and such. I love the mix of regular instruments and computer generated stuff. The music video was also amazing.
