Non-metal Themed Mixtape Game

[Omni]

Does that mean nobody else who played is going to rate? If so, I think it's pointless to keep it open.

Hold up I'm gonna try to get this done at work if possible.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

Not in on this, but I listened to everything anyways. Anybody else notice that the Dark Sanctuary song was just a shitty rendition of the first nine bars of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata?

@Black Orifice

You should also rate the songs since you listened to it.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Korn - Daddy (demo)
Not without its merits. 5/10.

UGK - One Day
Rather boring. 3/10.

Violent Femmes - Death Country Song
Love the darkness and the twang. 9/10.

Marty Robbins - They're Hanging Me Tonight
I like a good murder ballad but this is a little too subdued. 6/10.

Meiko Kaji - Atashi Umarete Fushiawase
Cool flutes and nice voice. 6/10.

Serge Lama - Je Suis Malade
I likes me the French language, and great instrumentation. 7/10.

Abner Jay - I'm So Depressed
What a whiney whino. He can play guitar adequately. 4/10.

Dark Sanctuary - D'Une Mère à Sa Fille
Melancholy and ethereal vocals usually work. 6/10.

Isabel Bayrakdarian and The Minasyan Duduk Quartet - Dle Yaman
Dead Can Dancey indeed. Real sorrowful, beautiful stuff. 8/10.

Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings - The Way It Will Be
She looks ruff. Not super engaging. 4/10.

Just for you boo:

Korn - Daddy (demo)
Not non-metal, but a solid pick. 7/10

UGK - One Day
Good on the theme, great lyrics, not big on the music. 6/10

Violent Femmes - Death Country Song
Whimsical and dark at the same time. Never a bad combination. 8/10

Marty Robbins - They're Hanging Me Tonight
Lyrics are great and the voice is impeccable. 9/10

Meiko Kaji - Atashi Umarete Fushiawase
No thanks. 3/10

Serge Lama - Je Suis Malade
My French is almost non-existent, but he mentioned smoking in the first line. Quite french. Instrumentation is meh. Corny. The singer is great though, and from what I can pick up in the lyrics it's more than fitting. 8/10

Abner Jay - I'm So Depressed
Speaks for itself. 10/10

Dark Sanctuary - D'Une Mère à Sa Fille
Low-energy. Can't even play Beethoven right. Sad! 2/10

Isabel Bayrakdarian and The Minasyan Duduk Quartet - Dle Yaman
Good stuff. 9/10

Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings - The Way It Will Be
It's good, but it's not exceptional. I like that they start out with unison before jumping into harmony. That's not too common. Having tenor sing above alto also sounded great. 7/10


Overall, not bad, but not awesome. How did Elliott Smith or Nick Drake not this list?

If I had participated and felt like being an ass, I totally would picked this:

Ending it today.

How did...Nick Drake not this list?

Agreed. Had I been playing I actually had a Nick Drake song in kind.

I'm so glad that @dwellerINTHEdark helped me avoid the onerous task of hosting one of these even though I think it's amazing that someone could consider Abner Jay whiny while submitting that Violent Femmes song.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Damn that was a reaaallly close round. Kudos to @TechnicalBarbarity

 

[CiG]

Fitting win, considering the link between TB, Armenians and tragedy. Great song too, he really deserved this win.

Also, that kid up there is HBB and that ice cream on the floor is his shitty Korn submission.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

 

[CiG]

Good luck running one of these fucking things, cunt.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]
