The music reviewing thread.
Description: This is a thread for someone to post their music, and the next poster must review the previous song. (The post above yours). After the poster has written their review, they post their own song for the next person to review, and so on. If you do not have a song, state so, and the next person can post a song instead. Rules: -Try to be open minded. If the post above yours isn't 'your style or genre' then imagine it is. Think in such a way that your'd appreciate (example) R'n'B such as you would say, punk rock. -You can post two different songs in one if you want, as long as they are 'different genres'. The reason for this is that people seem to still judge songs by their taste, and are not considering other points of views. You don't have to post two, and you don't have to review both, you can still only review one song if you want to. But don't post any more than that. -Also, don't post 5 and expect the next person to want to waste their time listening to 20 minutes of music they may not like. I know there are more than two types of music, but hopefully this will give the reviewer more to choose from. Also, they must be songs, not random videos you just happened to find. -Try to keep reviews relatively short. A couple of lines, and a final rating out of 10 in your opinion will do. Don't write an essay, but at the same time, don't write 3 words and rate it. -Make sure you listen to the whole song. Don't judge it if you've only heard 20 seconds of it, and even if you've heard it before, then listen to it again to refresh your memory, maybe your taste has changed. -Occasionally a youtube embeddy thing will be broken. This doesn't mean that you can ignore the post and move on, Click the link that should still be there, and watch it from there. But don't expect a user to have to search to listen to someone else's song, they may not even like it. -Keep it legal. Don't post Illegal download links, or songs that the artist doesn't want to share. This means use methods such as youtube embedding (post the http code), because that will work on nearly all browsers, and still be legal. -Don't judge users by the song they post. Keep replies in a review format, don't send PMs saying that you think their taste sucks. You can post a song that you may not even particularly like if you want, just to see what other perspectives are. Have fun, keep the music relatively clean, next post gets first choice of song.
By the way, If I've put this in the wrong section (general chat) then feel free to move it. Last edited by Camel Carcass; 1 Week Ago at 08:58 AM. Reason: Tidying up, rule changes. |

I rate your's 0/10. So distastefully. I just hate 4:31. (4:31 is the right number for that song that has no sound?) Hey, if you need someone for testing a map, just Add me. GT is on my profile. AKA look to the left. No, your other left. P.S. Let me know you need me for testing. Otherwise I won't add you. |

The singing is quite soulful, and the piano play seems to keep within the same minor key, but at some point within that, I was expecting a powerful backing drum bridge and for the singer to sing his heart out. Overall, 6/10.

I've listened to this song many of times, due to it being on my itouch, overplayed on the radio, and I've also seen Shinedown in concert. Overall, it's a nice relaxing song to listen to and I don't mind hearing it over and over again due to liking it so much. On a side note I think that having the words underneath the video is a little weird, you'd think for such a well payed band that they would know how to have a decent music video for one of their most well known songs today.

I like it. They don't confine their music to a specific genre and have many different styles inside the same song. It's mellow, and intense at the same time and it almost has a trance effect. 7/10

EDIT: K, I guess I skipped the OP where it said pretend I liked that genre. Well if I liked that genre, I would first have to have lyrics rolling across the screen. This is worse than Smells like Teen Spirit before everyone knew the lyrics. Also, it seems like there is a lot of 'roaring' in literally all areas of the song. I picked four random parts in the video and they sounded all the same. However, the drums are pretty fun to listen to, I must say. Anyways, here's some Offspring: Pure epic Last edited by cory21; 09-07-2009 at 10:52 PM. |
