Non-metal Themed Mixtape Game

[CiG]

Themes like BURDEN do bring out the cliché choices in us, since it's quite an obscure theme. Things will get better.

No sweat. It's one of those themes that you go "oh nice I can find a really good song about this!" but then realize it's a lot harder to and not as easy as it sounds.

also, I have the inclination of posting a really motivational meme. Cassette your style is rubbing off.

 

[CiG]

I doubt I'll ever win again since I've sworn off popular choices, but I have many ideas if I ever do.

@Funerary_Doom was BURDEN your theme?

 

[no country for old wainds]

it was espada's. i quite liked it for the record, it was an interesting playlist. 'salways better when people have to think more about their choices.

 

[CiG]

This is true, except people can get lazy and just fall back on boring choices. Like I did.

 

[no country for old wainds]

you lazy good for nothing bastard.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Sorry about the lazy ratings this time. Haven't been keeping up with mixtape games very well this past week.

Joe Cocker - The Weight
4/10

Raznotravie - Katorga
I don't *love* this but I still think it's one of the coolest and most unexpected picks on this playlist. thx funerary_doom
7/10

The Chills - Pink Frost
6/10

Isley Brothers - Work to Do
Not remotely my thing but it's pleasant.
5/10

King of Nuthin - Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying
6/10

Lonesome Wyatt and Rachel Brooke - Scars
Much better than the Those Poor Bastards song we had a few rounds ago, but I still can't take this guy seriously. Tries way too hard to sound 'raw'.
4/10

Murder by Death - Shiola
Hipster country. Not bad though.
6/10

Wishbone Ash - Throw Down the Sword
No surprise that this is winning, this being a metal forum and all.
9/10

Howard Shore - Flight to the Ford
5/10

Swans - Failure
And as a final humiliation, you must walk home naked, dragging behind you the lead weight of failure.
7/10

Chelsea Wolfe - The Abyss
6/10

U2 - With or Without You
473,785 likes can't be wrong.
3/10

Lake of Tears - Devil's Diner
Don't really get a sense of burden from this, also what the fuck even is this.
3/10

Joe Cooker - The Weight (Mad Dogs and Englishmen)
Always makes me think of Lebowski. Good song by a classic rocker. -- 6/10

Raznotravie - Katorga
Reminds me of Nick Drake mixed with Tenhi a bit. I'm digging it -- 8/10

The Chills - Pink Frost
Meh...kind of boring -- 4/10

The Isley Brothers' - Work to Do
Aww yiss. Get your shimmy on -- 5/10

Kings of Nuthin - Get Busy Livin' or Get Busy Dyin'
Ehhhhhh. Admittedly it got better as it kicked into gear -- 5/10

Lonesome Wyatt and Rachel Brooke - Scars
I should be drinking whiskey when listening to this -- 4/10

Murder by Death - Shiola
Kind of a Johnny Cash vibe going on. Not bad! -- 6/10

Wishbone Ash - Throw Down the Sword
Kind of proggy. I'm your huckleberry. -- 7/10

Lord of the Rings Soundtrack - Flight to the Ford
Whoever said these films sucked is a fucking faggot. That being said, this isn't my favorite song from the soundtrack(s)...still beautiful though -- 9/10

Swans - Failure
Love Swans...Love Love is Life...Life is Love -- 9/10

Chelsea Wolfe - The Abyss
Weird and unsettling, especially the end. This reminds me of a demented Portishead -- 9/10

U2 - With or Without You
Fuck U2 -- 1/10

Lake of Tears - Devil's Diner
This is pretty cool. Almost like Elton John if he grew up listening to heavy music -- 7/10

The Chills -- @no country for old wainds ex aequo The Isley Brothers -- @HamburgerBoy -- 5,8

did you have a seizure in the middle of typing this

 

[Baroque]

did you have a seizure in the middle of typing this

it means equal

 

[EspaDa]

did you have a seizure in the middle of typing this

you don't know what ex aequo means or what? I just wanted to have it written in the same line so that I didn't have to type "5.8" twice.
