80's Matchbox B-Line Disaster - Giant Bones: Not my style. I appreciate what they're trying to do, but the mix was (in my opinion) all wrong and really killed whatever vibe was trying to become established. 1/5

Air - La Femme d'argent: I loved this. Alot. Whoever upped this track, please send me as many albums by them as you have. The spacy atmosphere and relaxing drone gave me a great feeling of self-contentedness. 5/5

Amusement Parks On Fire - Out Of The Angels: Also a great song. I've never heard these guys before and would love to hear more. My only qualm with it is the productiong. The cymbals are too muddy. It sound much more emotive if the drums all together were sharper in the mix. 4.5/5

At The Drive In - Arcarsenal: Great band, wrong song. Schaffino would have been better I think. 3/5

Babes In Toyland - Won't Tell: Wow this song got on my nerves. As a rule I generally dislike female rock singers, and this band re-enforces that. She had the "I was a victim but no more!" voice down perfectly. 1/5

Between The Buried And Me - More Of Myself To Kill: Amazing song from an amazing band. Hence the reason I picked it. 5/5

Big Boys - Heartbeat: I've heard alot about these guys, but never got around to listening to them. I like the vocals, but the poor productions pisses me off. With some groups poor production enhances the music (Ulver, Lord Belial) but with most non-BM groups it detracts. The song itself wasn't bad and I'll check into them more. 3.5/5

Billie Holiday - Come Rain Or Come Shine: Not a fan. I really can't talk about one aspect, cause all of it was not my bag. 0/5

Black Label Society - Sold My Soul: Zakk Wylde needs to stop making music. Immediatly. 0/5

Dream Theatre - Scene Four: Beyond This Life: I've tried to get into this band but the level of pretention dripping from my speakers is overwhelming. Plus their drummer isn't as good as everyone makes him out to be. Tomas Corn, Flo Mounier, Derek Roddy, Chris Pennie > Mike Portnoy. The actual song was better than most I've heard from this band, but I still want to fight the entire band. 1.5/5

Faith No More - Hippie Jam Song: Good song to relax too. Not really my thing, but not terrible either. 3/5

Flogging Molly - What's Left Of The Flag: This band rules alot. I keep forgetting that. Thank you whoever upped this. Great song, great band. 5/5

Gil Scott-Heron - The Bottle: Nice. Really nice. I would definitly like to hear more of this. 4/5

Horizontal Orange - Lessthanthree: I want to fight the singer of this band. Really bad. 0/5

Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit: Another band that I've tried to get into but just can't. Maybe because I don't drop acid. 2/5

Jimi Hendrix - Spanish Castle Magic: Flawless song. One of the best Hendrix ever wrote. 5/5

King Buzzo - Skeeter: This song was ***. -1/5

Melvins - A History Of Bad Men: I don't have Senile Animal yet, so it was nice to hear a track from this. Definitly one of the most interesing percussionists ever. Plus their music just screams, SMOKE ME!

Motograter - Suffocate: EWWWWWWWW. EWWWWWWW. -2/5

Of Montreal - Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games: Not bad for what it is, nothing terribly interesting though. 2.5/5

For Real - Okkervil River: Surprisingly decent. Nothing I wouldn't listen to much but the lyrics were as I said previously, surprisingly decent. I'd like to hear more. 4/5

Pain Of Salvation - Iter Impius: I love this. Oh god. I must hear more. Now. 5/5

Porcupine Tree - Collapse The Light Into Earth: Another band that I've not heard enough by to form a good opinion on them. If anyone would up more stuff I'd be appreciative.

Rise Against - Halfway There: Everyone knows my thoughts on this band. Wrong song choice though. For n00bs, Torches, My Life Inside Your Heart, or Black Masks And Gasoline, would have been better places to start. 4/5 song, 6/5 band.

Sigue Sigue Sputnik - Sex-Bomb-Boogie: No. Just no. 0/5

Slint - Good Morning Captain: Hmm, I don't know what to think to be honest. I'd appreciate if someone would send a few more songs or an album. Interesting song, has the potential to convert me. 4/5

Streetlight Manifesto - A Better Place, A Better Time: Not a fan of this style of "punk" "rock". 1/5

Suede - Animal Nitrate: I love the chord progression. Tis a pity the rest of the song doesn't catch my attention. Why is it cool to sound like you're attempting to yodel when singing? 1/5

Van Halen - Jump: FLAWLESS! 5/5

overall, Some great songs, some garbage song. Good experiance.
