Re: Rate The Song Above You

It's okay... however i REALLY don't dig how aggressive and uplifting it's trying to be at the same time. It's trying to be uplifting in a hardcore sorta fashion, which conflicts too much when I'm trying to mellow out with it, or if I'm trying to let it be upbeat with me. I might have a bit of a bias because melodic dubstep stuff always sounds pretty damn generic, and if it were pulled from the unnecessary two-step beat and overly noisy snares, it might be easier to enjoy it. But it's trying too hard IMO. Don't get me wrong, it has some great elements all huddled together, it's just the elements they chose to mingle altogether at once just feels dull, and lacks luster. 6/10.

4/10, not feeling this one at all. Little development and not an awful lot going on.

Re: Rate The Song Above You

Bump because this thread is just so fucking awesome.

7/10, good hook but seems a bit minimal and drags on a bit.

6/10 - Sabaton is ok, but I thought the structure was a bit Pop-like, and not a lot of energy seemed to be put into it.

Re: Rate The Song Above You

This reminded me of a much darker Liquid Tension Experiment (acid rain), which was pretty sweet. Also reminded me of Super Meat Boy dark world music. Some good stuff going on and I'm really glad there's not a bunch of fat tattoo'd guys sounding like they're gurgling raw meat in their throats. Not at all my usual style but this is pretty sweet. 7.5/10 ~

Haven't posted here in a while so why not. I really love that song Spenner! It kind of reminds me of Dirty Androids a little bit. Especially Everglades, but this song is slightly more upbeat. Loved it. 9/10

Re: Rate The Song Above You

I don't think you get how this thread works, Jonlovesddr.

Anyway, DragonIIDX, Non-Combustible Waste is one of my favorite songs on Speed Ball Z and a really cool frenchcore song. The breakdown is silly and I even recognize some of the tunes used, but when it picks up again, I do think it drags on a bit too much. The kicks used and the breakdown are really cool though. I give it an 8/10.

This song is a hardcore/crossbreed song I first heard during the dj producer's live performance at defqon.1 2011, but I didn't figure out what song this was until about half a year later. First half has some pumping music that's leaning towards breakcore sometimes, second half is just fast-paced madness. Though if you don't like hardcore/breakcore or anything like that, big chance you won't like this either:

This score is based off the lyrical content alone. I didn't even listen to the song, and that's a first for me. It's clear to me Pat Monahan can write a chart-topping song and has done so in the past. Pat also knows how to write memorable lyrics, but for all the wrong reasons; I find myself remembering nearly all of the lyrics in Hey Soul Sister (as an example) to be...weird. I don't know, but I am not a Train fan. To be fair, I never was.

Spitfire: - 7/10
Yeah, I'm into breakcore. But I'm not specifically into hardcore. Well, I am...(Hardcore Syndrome, anyone?) but I'm not specifically into this kind of hardcore. and for me, this isn't something that's going to warrant multiple listens. But, I do like it despite that. I can see how someone would like the second part of this song; it's pretty damn intense considering the acid leads layered over what sounds like speedcore kicks (Yeah, I don't know my sounds very well). And if anyone wants to, you can trim this down to about three minutes and it could make an OK Stepmania file.

Now for a childhood favorite of mine that I just rediscovered a few weeks ago:

Some old skool BoC. This song sometimes finds me in the phases of sleep close to dreaming, right before consciousness sort of falls out of context. Whenever I listen to it I sort of get brought back to the same headspace.

Re: Rate The Song Above You

6/10, I'm probably too ignorant to appreciate it

Re: Rate The Song Above You

It was cool when it was just down to the softer instrumentals. It really gets flat later on for me, returning again and again to the same elements for the parts that pick up. Just not in my general tastes but the voice is totally annoying and the drums of all things kind of feel boring and just a repetition of fast kicks and crashes in between each burst. Not a fan of the style. For what it is though; for the style I guess it was well put together. But from what I've heard it feels like it isn't very memorable other than the sort of cinematic interludes here and there.

6.5/10~

One of my favourite biosphere songs. The subtle but dreamy melody fluttering by in the background after a minute in just paints such lovely imagery. The whole atmosphere of the song is full of energy yet really relaxed at the same time. At least, I get that sensation ~

Re: Rate The Song Above You

3/10 coming from someone who's had a hand at producing and enjoys a track mostly due to admiration of how versatile it was to produce and how many ideas were presented (hardly any) as well as how it sounds

Would make a good intro for an album though, maybe like a 1 minute track. Good backing but not my style exactly
