Non-metal Themed Mixtape Game

[EspaDa]

paramore fucking won it for me

 

[Satanstoenail]

Bauhaus - Nerves
So this is where half the bands in Melbourne got their sound. 7/10

Atomic Rooster - Death Walks Behind You
Quite enjoyable early prog rock, will check out some more of these guys. 8/10

Paramore - Emergency
Ooh, the screamo version, great. The only panic involved here was me wondering if it was going to end before I had to kill myself. 1/10

Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
I was all ready to like this but it didn't do much for me at all. Lyrics fit the theme I guess. 4/10

65DaysOfStatic - Welcome to the Times
I don't understand how this fits the theme in any way at all. It's also pretty meh musically. 3/10

Joe Pass and NHOP - Donna Lee
Holy shit! How is that even possible? Incredible. Cheers Baroque 10/10

The Jesus Lizard - Boiler Maker
The whole thing sounds like an anxiety attack. David Yow is a madman. 10/10

Nomeansno - Oh No! Bruno!
One of my fave songs on Wrong. 10/10

King Crimson - Thela Hun Ginjeet
Pretty good also 7/10

Nice list, cheers.

The lack of ratings hurts my soul.

Bauhaus - Nerves 8.5/10
The sound of nerves literally fraying.

Atomic Rooster - Death Walks Behind You 9/10
Does everything a good old suspenseful horror film does. Gives poseurs a panic attack!

Paramore - Emergency 2/10

Kate Bush - Hounds of Love 7/10
Fantastic, I haven't heard this song before. Added to favourites for later listening.

65DaysOfStatic - Welcome to the Times 7/10
Thoroughly enjoyed this, but I didn't necessarily feel a panicky vibe. Maybe it went over my head? Either way, really cool song.

Joe Pass and NHOP - Donna Lee 6.5/10
The whole time I was thinking "this is like the Ren & Stimpy theme but with class" cool tune, but same issue as the last track.

The Jesus Lizard - Boiler Maker 7.5/10
Noisy, frantic and volatile sounding. Good shit.

Nomeansno - Oh No! Bruno! 7.5/10
This album is a masterpiece and thus, always welcome. Lyrics don't exactly ooze panic though.

King Crimson - Thela Hun Ginjeet 8/10
I LOVE the soundbites, takes this track to a whole new level. It should have been the soundtrack for the film Fear City or something. Urban panic!

Bauhaus – Nerves

Bauhaus was part of the reason I wrote off post-punk in general, but I thought I had at least heard this album and not just She’s in Parties and a few other songs. Definitely don’t remember anything as awesome as this. 9/10.

Atomic Rooster - Death Walks Behind You

Great stuff, need to put them into regular rotation. Could be a little shorter though. 7.5/10.

Paramore – Emergency

Probably should have picked the non-“Screamo Version”. This was pretty decent otherwise actually, albeit predictable. 6/10.

Kate Bush - Hounds of Love

This album prevented me from discovering her earlier stuff, and today I still don’t like it. Repetitious and a bit obnoxious. 4/10.

65DaysOfStatic - Welcome to the Times

Generic post-schlock with a very relaxed feeling and no sense of urgency/panic whatsoever. 2/10.

Joe Pass and NHOP - Donna Lee

Much better. 7.5/10.

The Jesus Lizard - Boiler Maker

Fuck yeah Jesus Lizard. Not one of my favorites of theirs but still great song and well-fitting. 8/10.

Nomeansno - Oh No! Bruno!

See above. 8/10.

King Crimson - Thela Hun Ginjeet

Three in a row. Well, actually this one could be a King Crimson favorite. This is what panicked, urgent music is all about to me. 9/10.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Bauhaus - Nerves
9/10
The anxiety is quite palpable here.

Atomic Rooster - Death Walks Behind You
8.5/10
I guess that's a type of rooster that gives you an atomic wedgie.

Paramore - Emergency
4/10
How about Paraless...

Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
5/10
Since she came of age in the 70's, I imagine her surname is rather apt. At least she's a redhead...

65DaysOfStatic - Welcome to the Times
7/10

Joe Pass and NHOP - Donna Lee
6.5/10

The Jesus Lizard - Boiler Maker
7/10

Nomeansno - Oh No! Bruno!
7.5/10
"Ya see, Theo, no means no! But if they're asleep...zippity zoobity zam!"

King Crimson - Thela Hun Ginjeet
7/10
I can't tell if this is thematic as I don't speak Hindi.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i'll do this later this week.

Bauhaus - l have the Bela Lugosi's dead poster from way back still up in my shed next to a Bolt Thrower poster. This is still cool too. l enjoy intense minimalist, dramatic, clean yarn, next to a basic piano driven dirge as much as anyone 7/10

Atomic Rooster - The panic theme should include all kinds of offerings and while this ain't no white knuckle ride l can see the submitters reasoning with this tune in a subtle way, especially or mostly in the lyric 6/10 killer track tho

Paramore - uh this is not just metal?. ask anyone. emo metal? what else would you call it? can't say l know whatever the other version everyone's mentioning but yeah this shouldn't have been accepted and it sucks 2/10

Kate Bush - Ahh a favourite and a very clever classy song. i'm kinda surprised more people aren't familiar with this. Kate Bush has that touch of gold rarely seen over such a long career. Admittedly its not one of the strong songs on the album but...7/10

65DaysofStatic - Reminds me of Gordian Knot's Emergent album in places. This is ok. Don't think id go out of my way to explore too much but it has its place 5/10

Joe Pass & NHOP - lm not convinced Joe's conveying an experience of panic here, or simply a fancy flight, but he was a monster geetarist and he as well as his bassist deserve loads of blow jobs after that performance. and he just looks like he's not a care in the world during the whole thing 9/10

The Jesus Lizard - Always a band that l never got around to listening to. snippets and snippets. it's ok. l wont wet my pants over them tho 6/10

Nomeansno - Too much hyper shitty try again punk for me 4/10

King Crimson - The perfect antidote to a load of dross.
While the track was being recorded for the Discipline album, Adrian Belew, walking around Notting Hill Gate in London with a tape recorder looking for inspiration, was harassed first by a gang and then by the police. On returning to the studio, he gave a distraught account to his bandmates of what had just happened to him. This account was recorded by Fripp without Belew's knowledge as well, and is featured on the Discipline version of the track (as well as almost all live versions), in place of those earlier lyrics that were based on Fripp's New York recording.
haha. now thats panic! perfect! 10/10

Indeed I don't believe the song was about panic either. This was another creative interpretation on my part, that any lesser musician who tried to play this song would feel panic. Plus people needed to hear this.

 

[Sirjack]

@Baroque, you've quoted my whole post to me, which song are you referring to?

Bauhaus - Nerves
Anxious as fuck. Love it.
9/10

Atomic Rooster - Death Walks Behind You
Pretty short on ideas for a 7-minute song. The tacky blues-rock sound doesn't really do justice to the theme either. No idea why this has classic status.
5/10

Paramore - Emergency
I don't really find this objectionable or anything but whatever.
5/10

Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
Not a huge fan, but it's an interesting take on the theme.
6/10

65daysofstatic - Welcome to the Times
The instant I saw this theme I knew I had to go with a 65dos song. I was considering like 5 different ones but went with this one because I felt it most strongly conveyed a sense of panic. But I guess I'm the only one who feels it. Oh well.
9/10

Joe Pass & NHOP - Donna Lee
Idk, this wankery isn't really translating into panic for me.
2/10

The Jesus Lizard - Boilermaker
Sure woke me up from the coma the last song put me in.
9/10

Nomeansno - Oh No! Bruno
This playlist is all amazing picks and bad picks with very little in between.
9/10

King Crimson - Thela Hun Ginjeet
Well this just goes on and on.
4/10

Bauhaus - Nerves - 3
takes a long time to get going, there are some cool parts but most of the song is pretentious artsy shit

Atomic Rooster - Death Walks Behind You - 4
lol same assessment as the previous song only slightly better

Paramore - Emergency - 10
rockin guitars, pretty but punchy melody, cute af singer, what's not to like? most of your reviews are further examples of anti-genre bias instead of listening to the song

Kate Bush - Hounds of Love - 8
lovely, i like her weird, unconventional at the time, yet still aurally pleasing singing style

65DaysOfStatic - Welcome to the Times - 3
very nice instrumental but no panic

Joe Pass and NHOP - Donna Lee - 4
they are quite skillful... i guess the "panic" comes from being fast? ok but not that interesting

The Jesus Lizard - Boiler Maker - 3
noisy obnoxious shit

Nomeansno - Oh No! Bruno! - 3
see above. songs like this makes me think of a retarded albino with a bad haircut, shorts and no shirt jumping up and down in front of me shouting stupid shit into a microphone

King Crimson - Thela Hun Ginjeet - 5
not terrible

[HamburgerBoy]

That Paramore song is perfectly acceptable you fucks

Pushing my man-matter is all that matters.
