Metallica - Mama Said
6/10

Pink Floyd - Matilda Mother
8/10

Swans - Mother Of The World
9/10
That repetitive riff in the first half ultimately wins in the end, because, with the accompanying breathing works in harmony to simulate the visceral experience of giving birth. Therefore, the more subdued second half can be heard as the aftermath.

Lightnin' Hopkins - Coffee For Mama
5/10
Just sounds like any other blues song.

Subhumans - Somebody's Mother
8/10

Sufjan Stevens - Fourth Of July
4.5/10
Fairly insipid.

Birth Control - Believe In The Pill
7.5/10

Nat King Cole - My Mother Told Me
5.5/10

Puscifer - Momma Sed
6/10

Olivia Hussey - Ave Maria
6/10

Eloy - Incarnation Of The Logos
8.5/10
5/4 meter

O'Death - Angeline
7/10
I'm all for gothic country, but this song has a certain twee indie vibe woven into it, which drags it down a bit.

Points for obscurity on "Matilda Mother" (relatively speaking), but Floyd's "Mother" (from The Wall) is so much better. I never was a big Syd fan.

Agreed. There is a decent chunk of people out there that regard Syd as the peak of psychedelic music, I've never really understood the appeal. I mean, he's okay, but in many ways he's just a more obscure (and thus by extension more appealing to music nerds/hipstery types) version of Donovan.

who needs syd when you've got great big movies inside your head?

 

[CiG]

Oh baby, I can stand by that.

 

[no country for old wainds]

that's the album that made me doubt my first impressions of literally everything ever, 'cause on first listen i found it overwrought to hell, and by the fifth it was my favourite album of all time.

At least Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd material aged better than Syd Barrett himself.

Just a friendly reminder that this game exists.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

How many left?

 

[no country for old wainds]

i actually stared at the playlist for like 10 seconds trying to remember if i already rated or not, that's how long ago it was

 

[Satanstoenail]

How many left?

I think @The Butt, @Carpe Mortem and @Baroque but fuck them tbh. It's been way long enough. Just tally and move on.

 

[CiG]

I'm going to tonight, screw 'em.

 

[The Butt]

I did not submit a song. I may rate... but if I don't just get on with it anyways.

 

[Satanstoenail]

I did not submit a song.

CIG lied then. Damn him.

This is my fave game and the only one I'm currently involved in, so I'm pretty keen to move on.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

iirc Baroque said he wasn't going to rate this anyways so yeah it's basically over

@Vegard Pompey wins. He had my favourite submission personally, so double congratulations I guess.

 

[Satanstoenail]

I was hoping for last. Disappointed. Then again I should have probably given my pick a zero. 0/10 for effort. Will not troll again.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

These days Load seems to be accepted as the last great Metallica album.

The new theme is UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. To clarify, I don't mean "songs by American bands" I mean "songs about the US". Songs can be about a specific state or city, doesn't have to be the whole nation.

EDIT: No New World Symphony plz, yes it's the best thing ever but we've all heard it and it's 40 minutes long
