Mini-Review The Song Above You

Mrd00d · 10-18-2012, 08:36 PM

Yeah, pretty decent. Drums were decent. 6.5/10

Eh. It was alright, kind of bland and the second verse was just painful. 5/10

Nice trombone solo. I do not listen to much jazz, but when I do it's Skip James, which I like much better. Not bad for a group of white dudes; it has a nice swing to it. 5/10

Not bad I guess. The bass is kind of cool and gives the song a bit of funkiness and the ending was a bit unexpected. But other than that it sounds like a fairly average modern indie pop song and doesn't quite hit the spot for me. The vocal melodies are also lacking somewhat, it just needs something a little bit more infectious. I'll give it a 5/10.

Holy ****. Beautiful, beautiful musical slow motion explosion in my ears. If that makes sense. 10/10, I'm definitely listening to that album immediately!

And this has been mah jam since it got released.

The production is pretty terrifying and claustrophobic. And the way they mixed the vocals is pretty sweet too. I've been meaning to check Death Grips out ever since I discovered Dalek, and this is a pretty awesome introduction. 8/10

And this is mah jam at the moment.

Wow, that is actually a pretty fantastic song. Lyricwise it's not brilliant or anything, but in terms of structure and the key melody it is pretty flawless. I've always loved Danzig's voice as well, so he could sing a Toby Keith song and I'd still like it because his voice is fantastic. I like how it varies so dramatically in the song structure, but I think that it should have been divided into two or three songs. Not a fan of pinch harmonics as well, so that definitely brings down my rating. 7/10

I suppose that I should post my jam as well, so here 'tis:

Ahh love cLOUDDEAD. Great song. I did worry when I first listened to them that they might not be able to pull off longer songs, but I was wrong. 8.5

Danny Brown is getting higher and higher on my favourite rapper list. His style is so concise, to put it to words, and his beats are usually dank. Not to mention that it's a fucking fantastic post punk band backing him up. Fothermucking brilliant tune, do they have any more pieces beyond this collaboration? 9/10

Pretty tight 8.5/10

In the spirit of mashups.
