Not bad, but I wouldn't call it particularly great either. Not too keen on that vocal to be honest. Nice percussive figure though.

great song....at the beginning i was thinking it would be like New York Dolls with Roger Waters as front man.....turned out to actually be really good!



Triarii - Roses For Rome

DoctorSoft 10-12-2010 07:32 PM

7/10 Very epic, made me feel like I was about to go into a war or something. Wasn't a huge fan of the vocals, but they weren't terrible.

At first, I really wasn't feeling it, but something about the melody and vocal really drew me in. The instrumentation was a bit repetitive for my taste, but I really did feel much more into the song as it progressed. 6/10.

I enjoyed this song on the whole, although it dragged out too long and could have used a little more spice. The bass work was nifty and the vocals were unique and I like that.
6/10

'FF=66' by Jawbox


Unknown Soldier 10-13-2010 08:51 AM

Couldn`t really decide whether I liked that or not 6/10.

Not a huge Theoretical Girls fan, but that song's pretty alright. It's got a nice propulsive feel that keeps things feeling interesting with some decent proto-SY chord wailing. 6.5/10

This is a new band from Seattle that I've been playing a lot of lately, RIYL: Cults, Vivian Girls, etc,

Snore fest. This is a pretty definitive example of generic early 90's me-too grunge rock. If ever a genre had no legs... 3/10

James 10-13-2010 12:19 PM

@bob.
Never heard of 108 before but I like the sound of this song. His vocals are very strange but they work for the music. I think i'll get an album of this.
@chemical danny
Nothing too original but I like what they're doing, it works nicely. It'll be interesting to see where they go.

If you're going to wait up to 20 minutes before clicking "submit", it's a good idea to "preview" the post to check for newer posts. ;)

:) i'm in the process of writing a little essay and making a compilation for an Introduction to Krishna-Core.....108 is a fine example of New York Krishna-core and "Songs Of Separation" (album) is a great place to start

Wow. 9/10 The wierd, almost monotonous flow fit with the weird, mysterious beat and hook. I felt a physical reaction to it.

in truth it's kinda boring i mean it's not bad but it's slow and instrumental, and well maybe it's just not my thing 4.567321/10

I will say that the song was somewhat interesting. It never really seemed to take off and go anywhere, but it wasn't horrible by any means. The runs he did were a little much, ultimately - I kind of wished for some sustained notes by the middle of the song, instead of riffs throughout. 5.6/10.0

I don't even know what genre to categorize this int, but it wasn't rock and it wasn't catchy. 3/10

It's Limp Bizkit and... well... one thing's for sure: it's hasn't gotten any better in the past decade. 0/10

Here's mine, really digging this song lately (Fleetwood Mac—"Never Going Back Again"):


Charlemagne 10-13-2010 10:19 PM

Hey you can't really say anything bad about that song. It's got airy, poppy guitars and the vocals are very easy to listen to. 8/10

Oh, I actually really liked this! It reminds me a great deal of Arrah and the Ferns, vocally and musically, although definitely not covering the goofy subject matter. The lyrics are pretty great as well. Very nice, for sure. 9.5/10.0

Fuck yeah! Now this is hip-hop! I think I get turned off of the genre by all the crap that surrounds me. There is probably plenty of hip-hop out there for me, I just haven't tried much out yet. I loved the drumming and the rapping was excellent, exactly the kind I (think) I like. What type of hip-hop would this be classified as?
8/10

not that bad though (neither is weezer) just something about the alternative-ness that just doesn't do it for me. it's kind of like i already had my bands for those times from back in those day. dig?

i freaking love this video hahaha

Great video but mmmm about the song 6/10.

YouTube - Tiamat - Kaleidoscope, Do You Dream Of Me, Planets

Talking of things Swedish Taimat were a death metal band, before making quite a dramatic change in their style of music. The above is actually three songs from the classic "Wildhoney" album after they made the transition in their style.

Will it be another bore fest from me or another absorbing listen:p:

Haha, so it was you who posted that bore fest of Aerosmith. No bore fest this time. Very good song, melancholic, ambient and although it moves slowly and takes its time, it is somehow engaging throughout. To me that's a big accomplishment. 9/10

Nico - Tananore


duga 10-14-2010 08:35 AM

Wow...weird. I was just talking about Nico to someone yesterday, but we had never heard her solo stuff or her stuff with the Faction and we randomly picked that song to put on. Talk about a coincidence. I find her solo stuff to be really boring, and to be completely honest I don't even really like her stuff with the Velvet Underground. She has a horrible voice. 5/10.

Now here is an entertaining song:

Not really the sort of thing I would ever listen to, but an interesting video 6/10

From Sweden to Finland. The closing track from the classic "Tuonela" album by Amorphis.

I guess I HAVE heard of Steely Dan if you want to get all technical, but I don't really know anything about him. Tim Buckley: is that the DMB guitarist guy?
