Don't be scared by Merzbow, it's probably not what you think.

I actually liked the build at first, so at that point I wasn't scurred. I felt like the high-pitched sound could've been toned down a bit as it takes over the entire track/distracts you from the other elements. Finally at 3:50 the tone changes, abrasively, though. Somewhere after that is some sort of effect that is almost like light turntable "wickie wickies," but it's probably some other instrument. Perhaps it could be a lullaby for crazy people, but it wasn't as bad as it's legendarily known to be. Quite like some of the super-random dubstep noise music that I come across on the occasion. 5/10.

7/10

Hip Hop isn't really my thing, but that has a nice beat. 90's rap has a big edge over the stuff released now.

2/10

Seemed like one big over produced commercial. 4 minutes of credits? wtf

7/10 Would be a 9/10 if I was wasted on a patio at a beachside bar.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed the rap.

The vocals are way too poppy and the music sounds middle of the road and phoned in to me. 3/10

I'm glad you finally came around to digging Buckley. He's amazing. <3/10

I had no idea about him until about a month ago.

Aksak is always 10/10, but I'll let someone else rate it because I don't want to dig up a song again.

Aksak 7/10

I liked it, it had a nice groove.

Never heard of that band. Sort of liked it instrumentally and in terms of composition. Nice vibe to it. The singer was sort of terrible, though. Reminded me of the first singer in Faith No More. Out of tune, moany, sounds dumb. I don't know, just a question of personal preference! Despite the singer, I feel like I could listen to more from this band.
6/10

Anyway, here's my pick:
