D'oh kay then.
I got a Pink Floyd vibe from this, which isn't a bad thing, because I love pink floyd. I loved the way the vocals keep repeating themselves, it adds to the atmosphere of the song. Though I guess it creates less repetiton, I didn't really like the whispered part. Just felt like something was off. I also felt like the repetition got a bit tedious by the end. Overall, though, a pretty solid song. 7/10.

I don't care what kind of music you like. But seriously, if you're going to rate a ****ing 'Mats song a 3/10, then turn around, and put up an Evanescence song, then well... that should speak for itself.
Anyways....
Caspian - Walking Season
Without a doubt, one of the best songs of 2012. I just love how patient the instrumentation is. Not too big on post-rock, but damn, I'm impressed. The production is ehh, but wow, I'll def pick up the album in time.

This song reminds me of REM mixed with Sonic Youth except with slightly more emotional vocals. It's pretty nice. I can take or leave the vocals in pretty much any Fugazi song. The guitar noises remind me of Sonic Youth and...well, Fugazi.

**** yeah, Horse the Band.
I definitely like this song. The screaming (maybe there's a better word) is pretty cool and it's also a huge plus when there's singing and or a mix of screaming and singing. It tends to get kind of annoying when it's purely screaming unless the screaming sounds really good to me or the song makes up for it (e.g. Dr. Acula). I like the 8-bit sound to it and I'm kind of a sucker for that type of stuff, haha.

Weird techno computer beat O.o
Pretty cool o: I like the extra instruments added around 2:00
This would be epic in a video game or sci-fi movie, not sure if I would just listen to it freely though. So weird, but awesome at the same time. Gives you an "omg what's happening!?" feeling during the bridge. What genre is this? It's like a mix of techno, electro house, and dubstep.
The ending was pretty cool.
Song is pretty cool, very different, but fantastic!

Madonna - Girl Gone Wild (Avicii Remix)
Avicii is just amazing.
Fun tones in the beginning. Typical annoying modern Madonna verse.
I like the dubstep fuzzy bass. The drop is actually really tasteful and not entirely annoying. The piano is pleasant too. I enjoy everything in this song except for Madonna's singing really.
The end though is kinda not that great. It all builds up and builds up and then just peters out with this dumb re-trigging noise. It feels like the guy couldn't think of a way to end it so he just looped that one sound over and over.

Wow! This song is spectacular... It gives me a nostlagic feeling... Her voice is so unique. Her voice is backed up by which I think are the 4 important instruments..The guitar also plays a big role in giving this song it's classic nostlagic sound. Then comes the electric guitars which arrives with power and precision in the climax. Next is the drums it's one of the keys in the pivotal momentum of the song. Going from soft taps in the begining to loud thumps. Last is the violins... The violins are an exquisite touch in the climax. In the end the violins replace the electric guitars for a refreshing ending.
5/5 Classic!!!

I never particularly liked Lana Del Rey, going out to look for her music, but somehow I kept this song on, and it was done before I knew it. I rarely have that with music others provide me with.

*crosses fingers for someone who understands French*
I really like this song, and even if I think it's a bit presumptuous to rate it, I'd say 17/20 or something.
My opinion is quite biased however, because I've heard this song fairly often already. The music in itself doesn't seem that important to me, even though it fits well. But the most important thing with Brel is, as always, the singing. I think it's remarkable because Brel conveys emotions extremely well. It seems there's actually despair in his voice, as well as a part of madness when he sounds like he forces himself to look happy and hopeful. The lyrics do the exact same job about as well.
On the whole, I have the feeling Brel is actually going through a breakup. I've haven't seen many singers put so much energy and emotion in their singing (see also Dans le port d'Amsterdam / In the port of Amsterdam for those who are interested).
In short, it may be old and far from today's standards, but I find it amazing.
As for the next song, here's one I discovered recently : Theodore, Paul and Gabriel - Silent Veil

Smash Legend
Can't really put my finger on it, but the song overall flows really well. Just how her vocals go in rhythm with the steady guitar. This is one of those songs where I'm fine with a simplistic tune (I remember critiquing something earlier, where I found it dull). Anyways, I am not too fond of her voice, especially when she raises her voice. I also didn't like how she ended each slew of lines with something that didn't rhyme at all. It sort of ruined the flow. However, it's a minor complaint and the whole song is catchy and does a good job of keeping my attention.
No way!

The song was very relaxing and enjoyable to listen to. I loved the stringed instrument. I didn't like the ending, I think it should have ended with a chord.

http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/463025
Good start so far! Pleasant synths and LFO bass. Nice reverb-y drum sounds and a pretty decent melody line. Song develops well. When the song kicks in at 1:40ish it feels nice. And when it drops out for the quiet piano interlude is also pretty nice. Unfortunately I feel like the song definitely loses steam after that, as it's just more of the same. Not too terrible a drop off, but I think this song had potential to be more powerful or if not, at least a little shorter.

Kelly Clarkson- Where is your heart

I love the piano intro. The guitar sounds good with it. I like the build up with the stringed instrument and the drums. After the song built up, it became a little repetitive for a while. The vocals were very unexpected because of the long instrumental intro. I didn't like the format of the song. It kept building up for a long time and then dropped and the cycle repeated, but the song was so good that I dont care about that. The things I liked most about the song were the piano melodies and the drum beat.

She demonstrates such immense vocal capabilities... Sadly I don't think the instrumentals co-ops with Kelly's fantastic vocals. The instrumentals in the beginning are fine until the her singing comes which makes the instrumental seem pale. However clocking at 4:40 minutes and seconds. With this song's slow pace it can be a bit tiring... Still a great listen... The poetical lyrics and mighty vocals are just... Moving...

Oh man, I just wanna say, I clicked on the link then went to a different tab for a sec and the first thing I heard from the headphones was a pretty basic melody, then a man's voice started singing and I went back and it was George Takei in a youtube ad. I dunno why I just thought that was really funny when expecting Clarkson.
I admit, I was surprised that her voice wasn't as heavily treated as a commercial star's voice like her's usually is. I don't say that in a purist opposition to auto-tune in general, I genuinely think this is more enjoyable to listen to. So... good marks there I guess.
HA, wiki's page for her has a pic from august and the girl seems to have passed by "chubby".
Anyway, most of the song is her blaring out about some guy presumably and I kind of wade through it, but there are parts where she's quieter and softer and I find her voice really enjoyable. I wish there was more of that there.
It's generally uninteresting otherwise. Although I think it benefits her when the ensemble doesn't try to go toward a rock sound, as they don't here.
I want this to break into happy-smiley threshold, but :/

Danny Brown's "XXX" is, IMO, definitely one of the best albums of 2011. I've been fuxxing with him this whole month. His flow works so well for me, he's funny, and well, he just doesn't give a ****. It's like Cage the Elephant went hip-hop, without the ****, of course. The beat isn't all that great, but it doesn't bother me much. And the production could be better.gaaaaaaaaaaah ****...

Decent start. Okay guitar tones. Inoffensive but sort of uninteresting vocals. I like the percussion and handclaps during the chorus thing.
I like the guitar break a lot.
And the chorus with just the acoustic guitar is nice.
Overall, it's a good enough song, but it's kind of like musical wallpaper to me. Just kind of vacantly pleasant without evoking any kind of actual emotion out of me.

The song was a little catchy, but it also became annoying sometimes. It did sound good for a few moments. The chords that go along with the vocals (i dont really know how to explain this) are very annoying and ruined what could be a great song imo. Other than that, it was a catchy and relaxing song. So I liked the song except for the part I just explained. I probably won't listen to it again, but I will definitely listen to more songs from that singer.

Death Grips "Guillotine":
The intro makes my stomach drop.
This actually isn't one of my favorite DG songs. It's a little too minimalistic for me. I like the songs with more stuff going on in the instrumentals like Thru the Walls and Fever.
1:10-1:15 is plain brilliant.
I love the ringing high pitch sound that accents the end of some of the measures. And then it comes on in full force at the end and makes my ears wanna bleed. ****in awesome.

It sounds a song Kelly Clarkson can sing very well. It reminded me of her song "Why Don't You Try", but Kimbra's song is better.
It's a good song, It just doesn't have any qualities that I like in a song at all. It starts with a soft drum beat and then there is added vocals in the background through out the song. The problems are there are no catchy parts to the song and there isn't a long enough exciting part. The ending part at 3:30 was exciting but It did not last long enough.
It felt very weird to listen to a song full of guitar right after listening to this song a few times.

As with the vast majority of country-style music in general, there is no room for abstraction or experimentation in this song.
I, as a human, can never really ignore a song's attempted invocation of my desire to express and sympathize with others' expression of love. But to bore me at the same time doesn't help their effort. This song is loud, boring and uninspiring. Sorry, dude, I know how much you love the girl. But she doesn't make a lot of good music.

Wow, fantastic chord progression in the beginning. Somewhere between morose and sinister. I enjoy Evanescence's ballads quite a bit. Lovely singing voice and choice of melody.
This song doesn't seem to quite have the "something" that songs like My Immortal do. I'm not sure what it is. It just doesn't grab me the same way and when the full band comes in, it feels a little premature.
still, a nice enough song. it builds up well even though it feels like the climax goes on a little too long.

being somewhat unfamiliar with today's hardcore metal sound, i clicked that link expecting heavy guitar thrashing and fast rhythms and all the metal cliches. but i was instead greeted to a quiet clean track with loads of tension. i really like the sort of discordant/sort of jazzy guitar/sort of surf reverbed guitar progression in the intro mixed with the slow calm singing. while listening i automatically thought of pyramid song by radiohead. the song continues to flow in the same fashion, while holding onto that tension that kept me interested. it feels like it would work best with the rest of the album instead of a single song, though.

Adele did a pretty fantastic job with the theme. I guess that because it's a Bond theme, it has to have a certain feel. It's gotta be portentous, but exciting too. So regardless of not being surprised how it was going to make me feel, there's just a more base satisfaction with her voice.

In some alternate universe, I think I have listened to this band before. I feel like this is a song that is hard to listen on a continuous basis, but when it comes on, it's very easy to appreciate. His vocals play perfectly with the strings and limited background music. When the music gets loud, he gets loud appropriately. Chorus is very fun to listen too, and man would this make as a good campfire or small town song.Adele did a pretty fantastic job with the theme.
