7/10

The intro to that song reminded me of that punk song Tech support guy

The bass line was great it intentionally went off key and then back to the right one and the length of the song worked well with the concept of the song.

Repetitive beat, annoying boastful rapping, seizure inducing visuals, and product placement everywhere.

2/10

Pixies-

Repetitive and powerful front man screaming over equally repetitive and aggressive high-end licks. Like a great orator whipping the crowd into a frenzy, the energy here is electric.

Bring your ear plugs! That's one loud ass concert!

It won't let me post a link for PRIMUS - SGT. BAKER

Im not disagreeing with that but you're supposed to review the song above you dude.

Primus - Sgt Baker - 5/10

I like Primus but that particular song was a little boring to me. i liked the bass & vocals but other than that it sounded like a filler Jam kinda song.

I like me some Deerhoof, hadn't heard that song before. It was pretty cool, almost reminds me of the tongue-in-cheek French lounge jazz that Combustible Edison does from time to time. Groovy tune, wish it was a little more up to their shoegazey standard though. 7/10

Sounds like avant-jazz! Vocals are good, and so is most of the instrumental support, but there's just too much empty space in this one!

Matana Roberts - Lulla/Bye - 6/10

Hey, look! It's another Mike Patton project!

That was kind of interesting at first, but after I realized that was the only thing that they were doing it had become dull. Not digging the singer either. 3/10 because it's not unlistenable but I'm hard pressed to find a reason to listen to it.
