Non-metal Themed Mixtape Game

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I'm still butthurt that TB downrated The Misfits so outrageously but c'mon folks, let's keep this game a-moving.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Reverend Glasseye - Belle's Palsy
9/10
This brand of Americana is augmented by Eastern European sounds, such as the clarinet flourishes which really make the song.

Devo - Midget
6/10
Not bad but it's unpolished in a bad way.

The Misfits - Helena
4/10
Others have correctly pointed out that this pretty much metal.

Devo - Mongoloid
7/10
This is better than the other Devo song. However, that extra 40 seconds at the tail end of the upload was just as superfluous as an extra chromsome.

Rush - Losing It
5.5/10
I've never gotten into Rush and this isn't going to change that.

PInk Guy - Help
3/10
Just milquetoast ukulele shit.

Björk - Undo
5/10
Not feeling this.

God Doesn't Make Mistakes - Down Syndrome Song
2/10
Shameless glurge. Christians would romanticize mental disability.

Tears for Fears - The Hurting
6.5/10
This has some interesting ideas at least.

The Ramones - I Wanna be Sedated
8/10
Solid Ramones

One or two more and then close this thing up?

 

[CiG]

Yeah bury this rotting corpse.

 

[The Ozzman]

I'll break my rule to get this done:

Reverend Glasseye - Belle's Palsy - 5/10

This is not bad, but it's not something I would listen to unless I'm in a certain mood. Reminds me of a poor man's Tom Waits and I don't like Tom Waits.

Devo - Midget - 4/10

On theme and the weirdness factor gives it a few extra points but otherwise it's bad.


The Misfits - Helena - 8/10
This main riff is very similar to Clean My Wounds from Corrosion of Conformity. This is the first Graves era Misfits song I've heard and I like this way more than the stuff with Danzig already.


Devo - Mongoloid - 6/10

They really capture the New Wave sound. I will credit the band for that.

Rush - Losing It - 10/10

Greatest rock band of all time. You can't change my mind. It took me a while to get into this record in particular but I am really liking the 80's stuff more than the 70's stuff right now. Neil Peart is a lyrical prodigy.

PInk Guy - Help - 1/10

+1 for being on theme

Björk - Undo - 1/10

I wish I could undo listening to this song

God Doesn't Make Mistakes - Down Syndrome Song - 5/10

Is this a joke band? Top tier trolling if so..

Tears for Fears - The Hurting - 6/10

Typical TFF sound but this is not one I would go back to much

The Ramones - I Wanna be Sedated - 6/10

-2 for predictability

 

[viewerfromnihil]

So, Tech initially one it with 52 points, but then Ozz dropped it two points after his first rating, making @dwellerINTHEdark the winner!

Reverend Glasseye - Belle's Palsy @Serjeant Grumbles 46
Devo - Midget @CiG 50
The Misfits - Helena @dwellerINTHEdark 51
Devo - Mongoloid @Satanstoenail 49
Rush - Losing It @The Ozzman 48
PInk Guy - Help @The Butt 24.5
Björk - Undo @Funerary_Doom 37.5
God Doesn't Make Mistakes - Down Syndrome Song (creative fucking pick) @arg 31
Tears for Fears - The Hurting 42.5
The Ramones - I Wanna be Sedated @TechnicalBarbarity 50

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

ok so me going back and giving a few points to The Misfits backfired on me? Can i go back and edit it down a point or two? A metal song should really not be the winner here.

And what was ozz's first rating anyway?

He didn't go back and edit later. He put the subtraction in his commentary:

The Ramones - I Wanna be Sedated - 6/10

-2 for predictability

I might be retarded and am reading to much into it. @The Ozzman would you like to clarify?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

.... lol that doesn't mean subtract it from his score lmao. If he wanted to give it a 4 he would have gave it a 4.

The Ramones = 51
The Misfits = 46.5

i win even if you subtract those two points

 

[The Ozzman]

I meant it would have been an 8/10 if it hadn't been a predictable choice. My 6/10 rating stands.

 

[CiG]

Yeah heads up when people put commentary about points being deducted it usually means they've already factored the deduction into their final score.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

I guess TB can take my erroneous win... I like the song but it was just too popular for my liking in this game.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

@The Ozzman Thanks for clearing that up. @TechnicalBarbarity Congrats

 

[The Ozzman]

Surprised my Rush pick got that many points. Not the best Rush track or my favorite but it was definitely a thematic pick

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

I've still never heard of The Misfits being metal so the culture shock remains... now would Korn or System of a Down also need to be submitted in the metal version of this game? Sevendust fo sho.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Song submitted. This may have a chance of winning.

Surprised my Rush pick got that many points. Not the best Rush track or my favorite

Wuh

 

[The Ozzman]

Wuh

You can win games with a low point count, genius

 

[Satanstoenail]

Guh

yep
leave shit like that for the metal game

 

[challenge_everything]

Helena is the most metal song in the whole Misfits catalogue, but isn't even representative of the Famous Monsters album let alone the Misfits's back catalogue.

Anyways I'm fine with it being submitted here.
