Compositional mixtape

Forgot about this mixtape:

Veiled in Sorrow - 9/10 Fun neoclassical moments and headbangable breakdown at 2:50
Savatage - 7/10 Good but Lolwtf at the video. Not very breakdowny imo.
WASP - 6/10 Kinda hard pop-rock really. Not bad for what it is though.
We Butter The Bread With Butter - 7/10 This is more the kind of music i'd expect from a modern breakdown list. The breakdown itself kind of sucked.
Artillery - 8/10 This band has been growing on me lately, especially their first 3. Wish the vocal melodies in this one were less repetitive.
Enslaved - 5/10 Not at all what I was expecting. Seems pretty mediocre though, I feel they could have done a lot more with this.
Aversions Crown - 5/10 This isn't exactly converting me to a deathcore fan. Meh.
 
My Decrepit Lament · Veiled in Sorrow
6.5/10
Some good leads, but it's overbearingly brickwalled and sterile, and I don't get overly finicky about that most of the time. I liked the acoustic sections just because they were a respite from the loudness.

Savatage - Hall Of The Mountain King
8/10
I should be more familiar with Savatage. That ballad that appeared in the LOVE game was kind of lackluster, sure, but this is proper classic heavy metal. Those staccato vocalizations appearing a little after 3 minutes in were kind of weird, but his is overall good stuff.

WASP - Harder Faster
7.5/10
I had no idea that, despite being from New York, Blackie Lawless sounds more like Foghorn Leghorn than Bugs Bunny. But this is a pretty good song in any case; it hits the spot in its simple charm.

We Butter The Bread With Butter - Superföhn Bananendate
3.5/10
What the fuck. I was expecting some obnoxious club rap to come in based on the intro. I might have preferred that, since that might have "so bad it's good" appeal. This is just unremarkably bad. It has some sporadic good ideas wrapped up in burrito full of bullshit.

Artillery - Time Has Come
7/10
Standard yet well-executed thrash that I don't feel strongly about.

Enslaved - Havenless
8.25/10
A good song in the context of the album, and the Nordic chants are a positive addition to this. It doesn't achieve true greatness, but it's a nice use of a breakdown in (progressive) black metal.

Aversions Crown - Xenoforms
5/10
Pretty mediocre. Not much to be said about it.
 
Ill get ratings tomorrow. Have to be up early in the morning for work... and I've been really drunk and tired the past few days anyways.

Sorry all. Totally forgot haha.

My Decrepit Lament · Veiled in Sorrow - 5/10 - I hate anything overly flashy tbh.
Savatage - Hall Of The Mountain King - 8/10 - Classic.
WASP - Harder Faster - 7/10 - WASP rules.
We Butter The Bread With Butter - Superföhn Bananendate - 8/10 - Lol. Fun tune, nothing more. Really fun, dumb tune.
Artillery - Time Has Come - 8/10 - Not big on thrash but Artillery is the shit.
Enslaved - Havenless - 6.5/10 - Only Enslaved I really like is Vikingligr Veldi tbh... maybe Blodhemn as well.
Aversions Crown - Xenoforms - 4/10 - Eww tbh.
 
Oh dude my bad, I totally forgot I did this one. Tomorrow morning I'll have ratings. Shit this is an old one.
 
You have missed that window of opportunity. You have til midnight ET. I already know who's gonna win, and I doubt you'll change it, but I'm anxious to find out the next theme.
 
Go ahead. Disqualify me. I'm such a piece of shit.

I'd love to say I'll get it done when I'm home tonight but chances are nah.
 
Arg has been MIA for going on three weeks now. There's no real precedent for this. What is to be done about an absentee game master? I think, as the OP, i have a duty to hijack the game for its own good.
 
Yes. I trust no one will try to lie about which song they submitted. I can safely assume that you, along with @HamburgerBoy @Baroque @The Butt @Carpe Mortem , submitted songs. With myself included, that makes for only six, but that seventh mystery poster may well be arg, since he only tagged three of us stragglers when three had already submitted ratings.
