    Sorry to go out of sequence but that Pumpkins track deserves better. This album, as well as Siamese Dream, have stood up over time better than anything else to me. There has never been anything to compare Melon Collie to, then or now. This particular song is beautifully textured, with some great jams mixed in. 9.5/10

    The Death from Above one rocks though. I wish there was a better recording of it. It's tight and fast... I like. 8/10.

    Reminds me of The Beatles, soft and very catchy. One thing I did dislike was the length and that's kind of why The Beatles had such a success their song were short catchy and just an orgasm in your ear. 7/10

    Old song, still love it.

    Yeah, nice bassline. Really catchy.

    You might only know them by "3's & 7's", but this is WAY better IMO.

    I absolutely hate the horrible video. But if you were to listen to the song alone it has a catchy retro feel to it. Its not bad and kind of remind me of a scene in a movie where a hot chick pops into the scene and all the guys are staring lol.

    This song is a mix of blues, southern rock,and blue grass. Enjoy :]

    The southern rock sound coming from CoC is different, and a bit softer from what I'm used to from them, but I don't know too much of their stuff. It sounds great thought, mostly. It's solid and bluesy as you said but I think the guitar solos are too overbearing. The whole thing would sound better if it was a little more chill. I know where they're coming from, but I prefer their other songs like Albatross. But overall very good.


    Here's one from from David Gilmour's solo years (from Pink Floyd.) The volume's a bit soft.

    The guitar sounds great in the beginning of the song. Very glassy sound, sounds absolutely beautiful. I think that David Gilmour's voice contrasts way too much with the sound of the guitar. It's too harsh. Once the song picks up, his voice seems to blend better. Gilmour has always been a good soloist though, everything always fits perfectly with the song rather than just seem like a bunch of muddled fast notes. Even with the intense distortion, it still fit wonderfully.

    8/10

    Also note, when listening to my song, ignore the video, it's a fan made video, and has nothing to do with the song, I just wanted to find a version that came off of the album, rather than a live version.

    Im not sure how to classify it lol. It's trance ,rave,techno,and a bunch of sort of abstract genres in this song. I have mixed feelings about this type of music, like this would be great in a club but anywhere else I couldn't find myself listening to it. Its I would say only for a club scene and less of a contemperary ipod tune lol.

    This is kind of a cool tune I came across good beat and solid vacals. Lyrics are meh lol.

    This one is not bad, I like the feel of it, has a solid beat, and the vocalists voice fits perfectly with the song. Post-punk is the **** for sure, and they are no exception, they do an excellent job of making a heavy beat song, with vocals flowing over the beats with perfect synchronization. The ending was a bit weak though.

    8.5/10

    Good band :] I haven't heard the Dodos in forever lol. What I like about the song is its full of energy and has hooks through out the entire song. You think you are going to hear a slow verse and he starts off slow and picks it up before he ends it. The vocals were interesting but at least understandable unlike screemo lol.

    I like this song mostly for the crazy guitar solor 2 minutes into the soong its insane lol.

    I've actually never heard that song before despite how much I like that genre. The guitar solo really isn't that amazing or anything but I like how it feels in the song. I liked the part after the solo. Thats a pretty good song. 8/10

    What do you guys think of this?

    I like them over most hardcore bands because they don't have that emo look and skinny jean crap going on. Plus Phill rapes on this song so its not bad. I like the chorus the most in the song[non screamo parts] :] lol.

    I live by my classics :]

    Very laid back, quite nice to listen to. I love listening to something old every so often and songs like that are the reason for it. Was a tiny bit dreary, but taking age into account, I suppose that's somewhat forgivable. 7/10.

    Suppose I should post a classic now. We'll get a 'thing' going.

    Edit; sorry, not embedding, not sure why. Click and review regardless.

    That was beautiful, Never heard of it, or the band for that matter, but I'm glad that I have now. I listened to that 3 times in the weekend, and I love it. Fantastic find, 9/10. I'm gonna iTunes that shiz. Cheers.

    Not what I'd usually listen to, but found it in one of foley's 'tages, and it's really nice & laid back -
