Non-metal Themed Mixtape Game

[Sirjack]

yeah l knew that. just in case ya know?

1. Hole - I don't mind Love's voice at all tbh and the geetar layering is quite cool. but that's about it. It went on for far too long. 6/10

2. Garmarna - This is quite good. Great music, it's the right side of dark but not intrusive.Terrific words. 8/10

3. Cranberries - Ugh, l went to Israel in 94 to work on a kibbutz, and had an Israeli girlfriend that loved this song and this band the whole 6 months l lived there. She was gorgeous apart from her obsession with the fucking Cranberries. l learnt to hate them. 1/10

4. Golden - Kinda quaint and sweet if repetitive. i would never choose this as listening material but l probably wouldn't change the station if it came on. 7/10

5. Mahler - Absolutely stunning all the way through. 10/10

6. Jerry Goodman and Jan Hammer - This is the sound of sheer joy. Beautifully played and Deep. Both are legends. 9/10

7. Sol Invictus - l do enjoy this kind of plodding minimalist, well done meander that revolves around the single riff, and this deserves more than a slight from an unbeliever. 8/10

8. Tom Waits - Does what Waits does. 5/10

9. The Shaggs - oh yes...the Shaggs. -1/10

Hole - Good Sister-Bad Sister
I really like vocals and their intensity which, as already stated elsewhere before, remind me of Dawn Crosby's vocal performance on "Within the Veil" (which is one of my overall favourites). 9/10

Garmarna - Vengeance
Great song from a great album. The reason why I tend to prefer this type of nordic folk-influenced music to folk(-influenced) music from other places is the dark mood it often conveys, the somewhat raw and unpolished sound and occasional slightly dissonant parts. And I also like Emma Härdelin's voice very much. 10/10

The Cranberries - Ode to My Family
Considerung how much I dislike their hit "Zombie" because of the annoying chorus, this was a positive surprise. I like the vocal lines and the overall melancholic feeling of this song. 8/10

Golden - Ma Petite est Mariée
Never heard of this band before. Overall a pleasant song, though a bit too long for my taste. 7/10

Gustav Mahler - Kindertotenlieder 3 - Wenn dein Mütterlein
Difficult to rate. It's not the type of music I would like to hear more of, yet not something I dislike either. The lyrics are touching, though - in spite of being German - I usually tend to dislike songs being sung in German (there are some exceptions). 7,5/10

Jerry Goodman & Jan Hammer - Country and Eastern Music
Interesting music and nice bass sound. Not too impressed by the short vocal parts. 7/10

Sol Invictus - Sawney Bean
Even though it's rather repetitive, I somehow like this song, probably because of its mood. 8/10

Tom Waits - Cemetery Polka
Not exactly the type of music I like, but one of the most original songs in this list. 7/10

The Shaggs - Who Are Parents?
Until the previous song, I thought this could be a list without one song I actually dislike, but the final song proved me wrong. I feel inclined to give it a negative rating like Sirjack, but I'll leave it at 0/10

Hole - Good Sister-Bad Sister
7/10 - Always intended to listen to early Courtney Love, but just hadn't gotten around to it. Sounds good.

Garmarna - Vengeance
1/10 - Enough with the Swedish women, ugh.

The Cranberries - Ode to My Family
4/10 - My mother was a big fan of the Cranberries in the 90s. Even children can identify bad music.

Golden - Ma Petite est Mariée
5/10 - Meh, I'd give it a four, but I don't think it would be fair to put it with the Cranberries.

Gustav Mahler - Kindertotenlieder 3 - Wenn dein Mütterlein
10/10 - Kindertotenlieder is good music to have a cry to if you're into that sort of thing. There's nothing I don't like by Mahler, and I would definitely peg this piece as my second favorite, behind Das Lied von der Erde.

Jerry Goodman & Jan Hammer - Country and Eastern Music
8/10 - Nice.

Sol Invictus - Sawney Bean
6/10 - Not something I'd seek out, but it's in any case inoffensive.

Tom Waits - Cemetery Polka
5/10 - I dig out of tune, offensive things, but this is a little silly.

The Shaggs - Who Are Parents?
9/10 - What separates this from the previous is sincerity. Naked sincerity.

Rainy saturday mornings...

Hole - Good Sister-Bad Sister
3/10. AssHole

Garmarna - Vengeance
8/10. Ethereal and haunting. I enjoyed this.

The Cranberries - Ode to My Family
7.5/10. My wife loves The Cranberries so I'm familiar. Judging the band by Zombie is unfair to yourself.

Golden - Ma Petite est Mariée
5/10. No standout here.

Gustav Mahler - Kindertotenlieder 3 - Wenn dein Mütterlein
4/10. Nose stuck entirely too high in the air.

Jerry Goodman & Jan Hammer - Country and Eastern Music
6/10. I didnt hate this but I just cant rate it higher.

Sol Invictus - Sawney Bean
8/10. Jet black lyrics set to etheral folk music is something I'll always enjoy

Tom Waits - Cemetery Polka
8/10. A good song but short. Sounds a lot like it was ripped from ANBC.

The Shaggs - Who Are Parents?
2/10. I'm not surprised Zappa liked this. It's shitty and so was he.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Hole - Good Sister-Bad Sister
I can't help but hear her hideous personality in the music and it's an instant turnoff. It's not too bad otherwise. 6/10

Garmarna - Vengeance
Cheesy drama. Not terrible but eh. 5/10

The Cranberries - Ode to My Family
Oh god please no 2/10

Golden - Ma Petite est Mariée
Nice. Awesome musicianship, great production. Only criticism is that it's a tad too long. 9/10

Gustav Mahler - Kindertotenlieder 3 - Wenn dein Mütterlein
Nice. Not anything I'd normally check out or enjoy but I liked the mood. 7/10

Jerry Goodman & Jan Hammer - Country and Eastern Music
Weird production but this rules otherwise 8/10

Sol Invictus - Sawney Bean
Found this pretty boring and annoying 3/10

Tom Waits - Cemetery Polka
I'm not a Tom Waits fan and this isn't helping to sway me at all 4/10

The Shaggs - Who Are Parents?
Large amounts of nope 0/10

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Hole - Good Sister-Bad Sister
I like Hole better than Nirvana so. 8/10.

Garmarna - Vengeance
A little haunting and minimalistic with a world flair. 7/10.

The Cranberries - Ode to My Family
Always a fan of this one. 8/10.

Golden - Ma Petite est Mariée
Kinda wimpy, dudes. 5/10.

Gustav Mahler - Kindertotenlieder 3 - Wenn dein Mütterlein
Fuck yeah. 9/10.

Jerry Goodman & Jan Hammer - Country and Eastern Music
Wasn't very captivated. 4/10.

Sol Invictus - Sawney Bean
Been a while since I listened to these guys. Nice and drab. 8/10.

Tom Waits - Cemetery Polka
This is my shit. 9/10.

The Shaggs - Who Are Parents?
I can appreciate atonal melody. 6/10.

[The Ozzman]

It's shitty and so was he.

How dare you! Joe's Garage would like a word with you..

 

[Omni]

Honestly, insulting The Shaggs is a lot more egregious than insulting Frank Zappa.

I'm going to end this on Thursday. Rate it before that if you don't want to miss out.

I could use a good shag, but this ain't what I had in mind.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I would rate this just to give The Shaggs a 10/10, but I'm not going to.

[viewerfromnihil]

Just checked with her to see what's up. She's in a cabin in New Mexico with basically no internet, but will be back next week.

 

[Omni]

No time to go through this until next week but if someone tallies it, I'll tell them who won. I don't have consistent access to mobile data and there is no wireless router at my cabin.
