Non-metal Themed Mixtape Game

[Phylactery]

The RH Factor – I’ll Stay 7.5/10
A solid, chilled out start to the playlist. Enjoyed this one.

Modest Mouse – Ohio 6/10
Liked this a little more on second listen, especially some of the guitar parts. I don't enjoy the vocals at all.

Siouxsie and the Banshees – Suburban Relapse 8/10
Very cool stuff, great vocal delivery. Becomes quite intense as it starts speeding up towards the end.

Angizia - Mein Gaul, mein Gaul verreckt im Dreck 4/10
What is this?! Awful, but props for submitting something quite different.

Pearl Jam – Blood 3.5/10

Portishead – Threads 10/10
Dear lord, this is so good. I haven't listened to this band in years, I used to be into them but that was before they released this particular album so I haven't heard this one before. Regretting that now, this is just amazing. Harrowing vocals accompany this overwhelmingly bleak atmosphere. More stuff like this in future mixtapes please.

Rosemary & Garlic - Old Now 8/10
This is beautiful. Took me off to another place for a while.

Melanie Laurent – En t’attendant 6/10

Michael Jackson - Workin' Day and Night 6.5/10

I'm pretty sure @dwellerINTHEdark submitted a song.

Yep. I can get my ratings in on Tuesday if that's something y'all wanna wait for.

Portishead – Threads 10/10
I used to be into them but that was before they released this particular album so I haven't heard this one before.

the s/t is slightly my favourite but THIRD is arguably as good as DUMMY to me - the rare case of a reunion album worthy of their classic material. that song's the best thing on it IMO but it's well worth checking out the rest.

A preface: I've been in the airport for the past 18 hours. My scores may be a little grumpy as a result.

TheRH Factor – I’ll Stay
Fuck this song on so many levels. My tortured airport stay is like twice as bad because of it. Did anything even happen in this song like at any time? 2/10.

Modest Mouse – Ohio
I liked this song at times, but it's really way too monotonous for how long it is. 5/10.

Siouxsie and the Banshees – Suburban Relapse
I usually love Siouxsie. I'm gonna chalk it up to my airport rage as to why I didn't enjoy this more. 6/10.

Angizia - Mein Gaul, mein Gaul verreckt im Dreck
My Angizia love holds true, however. 8/10.

Pearl Jam – Blood
I shall say fuck you to everybody here. Best band on the planet and a kickass song by them. 10/10.

Portishead – Threads
Why is this a song? 3/10.

ODB - Good Morning Heartache
We're on a mission to create the worst mixtape game, aren't we? 2/10.

Rosemary & Garlic - Old Now
Some sappy shit right here. 4/10.

Melanie Laurent – En t’attendant
Good God people. 3/10.

Michael Jackson - Workin' Day and Night
Thanks for making my eternal layover even more miserable. 3/10.

Baroque, you're the only one left that needs to rate.

Baroque, you're the only one left that needs to rate.

Oh, I tend not to rate this one. I rate all of the metal ones.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Aight

CASSETTEISGOD - Siouxsie and the Banshees - 7.8
Wainds - Portishead - 7.65
Funerary - Rosemary & Garlic - 7.45

Congrats CASSETTEISGOD! He's banned right now though right? I guess we could give him a few days or something. Otherwise it's wainds.

Nice. I knew an in-crowd submission might get me the win, but I stand by my pick for reasons beyond that. Instantly came to my mind when I read what the theme was.

Anyways... My theme for the next round is:

MOTHERHOOD

 

[Vilden]

I first read the theme as "MOTORHEAD" not sure which would be best...

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Dammit! I already used up that Nozomi Aoki track.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Cool theme, digging around to see what i could find

 

[Baroque]

Who's gonna be that guy that submits Danzig

Edit - or the lonely island

 

[Internally Deformed]

Damn I have a few pretty cool picks for this, but I can't be bothered with listening through a whole load of shitty non-metal music for the privilege of submitting.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Who's gonna be that guy that submits Danzig

i instantly thought this lol

 

[Satanstoenail]

Same.

 

[CiG]

Unoriginal prats.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Who's gonna be that guy that submits Danzig

Edit - or the lonely island

If anyone does, I'll downrate it. That song is kind of borderline, but certainly metal enough to disqualify it for this game.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Unoriginal prats.

i didn't consider submitting it myself haha, i just immediately figured someone would

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

How we doing with submissions? I ask cuz I struggle and may be a while...
