Mini-Review The Song Above You

it's becoming one of my albums of the year....and that is by far one of the best tracks on it

I really liked the Empyrium one since I love them and it was nice to hear new material from them after 8 years of hiatus.

^ Brilliant stuff. I remember listening to Dark Dark Dark, but I had forgotten about them. I have to get this album. 9/10

I've heard that sound before and I've never liked it. I mean I guess it was OK at parts but overall it was just pretty lame.

It's extremely trippy, dare i say!.. but also sounds like a scene out of the exorcist. All in all different and fairly original though, 6.5/10.

YouTube - Hammock - The Backward Step (Unofficial Video)

10/10 I love Hammock <3 Chasing After Shadows... Living With Ghosts is one of my favorite albums released this year

I really like the instrumentals, but I tend to like my vocals either more decipherable, or if they aren't, I actually prefer them to be more nasal rather than growling. I do like the Japanese speaking interludes though. And as the song went on I started to like it more and more, I think if I gave this band a few more listens I could get to really liking them 7.5/10

I absolutely despise this type of vocals, but overall the song is okay. By the end, I liked it a bit more than I did at the beginning. 5.5/10

This song gives me goosebumps every time.

^^That was enjoyable. Nice melody that lulls you, but is quickly forgotten. I can't say anything against it, but I also can't say much for it. It's kind of bland on the first listen. Maybe there's more to it, but for now 6/10

Silver Apples - 'Misty Mountains'

You definitely have the strangest, coolest taste on these forums. That song was very enjoyable, and I'm usually not a fan of electro anything, but it was so hypnotizing. 8/10
