Hey @Phylactery you should rate this mixtape. I know you didn't participate (if you were going to and I closed submissions too soon, I apologize, but the playlist was getting really long) but it's pretty heavy for a non-metal mixtape, I think you'll like.
@Baroque and @The Ozzman - does this version of Pallas - Atlantis work? It's the full album with the correct song timestamped; the song itself is 8 minutes long.

I was trying to find a song for this but you closed it before I had chance to find anything, but it's fine. I really like Elend, Nest and Zandt so maybe I will rate this to offset Ozzman's savage ratings for those.

Alright, I uploaded the damn song to google drive. I haven't used google drive before so let me know that I didn't fuck up and that this link works. @Baroque @The Ozzman

The YouTube videos don't work for me either, so keep it up for a while pls, I'll probably give it higher than a 2.

My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Elend - Moonhorse 5/10
Interesting so far. I like this band but this was a bit too meandering for me. It reminds me of a movie soundtrack. It becomes more epic and interesting towards the end, but not exactly enough to keep me as I kept finding myself not paying attention.
The Sisters of Mercy - Marian 7/10
I really liked this. Pretty light and easy to listen to gothrock. Shit do they even make music like this anymore? All the recent stuff I hear is super dark, and I like that too but I miss this sound. His voice reminds me of Peter Steele a bit.
Led Zeppelin - The Ocean 7.5/10
Someone took my first choice. Like this song a lot and come on it's Led Zeppelin so.
Clutch - Sea of Destruction 5/10
So, I'm one of those people who doesn't know the difference between seas, oceans and rivers either.
Actually, learned my animals through the internet among other things too. Anyways, this song ended pretty quickly. I almost dont remember it but it seemed pretty standard. It wasnt totally offputting but not memorable.
Chelsea - Mer 8/10
Ahh, I see what they did there. I love this song, this is one of the first Chelsea Wolfe song I've heard.
Smetana - Die Mouldau 9/10
This is really pretty. It reminds me of video game music (maybe Final Fantasy?) or kid/childhood music. This is just awesome. So much buildup and there was like a fighting scene somewhere, and a resolution.
Pallas - Atlantis 7/10
I thought this was pretty cool. The vocals were weird but they grew on me after awhile as did the song.
Split Endz - Shark Attack 8/10
Ha this was actually relieving. It's pretty fun in comparison to the seriousness of this list and the music is pretty cool. I really liked the arrangements and thought it was pretty well done.
Nest - Across the Waters 8/10
Pretty. Just how I like'em. A bit meandering too but I can deal with it/follow it without getting distracted.
Toms Van Zandt - Silver Ships of Andilar 6.5/10
I liked this, actually, and this is country sounding which is surprising for me. I wish I could pay more attention to the lyrics. Lyrics are a big part of this type of music.
Paul Robeson - Sea Forever 6/10
This was a cool way to end the playlist. His voice is really cool, but this is not my type of music. However, it is good for what I've heard from this type of music before. It actually reminds me of a movie. It's got a movie feel to it. Could be his voice, though.
I really liked this playlist, thought it was pretty diverse.
Edit: Had to put Pallas in there.

I don't think that's the case. Lots of times I've judged something by one song and thought it was crap and then changed my mind based on listening to the entire album. However, based on this exercise alone and basing the songs on such a narrow theme, yes I'm allowed to be close minded

How do you give things a zero if they at least managed to be on theme? The theme is not that narrow actually, that's more a symptom of you than it is the theme.

Elend - Melpomene 7.5/10
Very cinematic, only a dense fool who has lost all imagination could give this a 0.
Either way, this is now on my list of things to check out.
So thanks for that, whoever submitted it.
The Sisters Of Mercy - Marian 7/10
Such a great voice, I adore this album too.
Led Zeppelin - The Ocean 5/10
Eh, lazy ass take on the theme in order to brutally shoehorn in one of the most popular bands in the world? I start to feel like those people that downrate shit based on popularity or "in-crowd" annoyances. Have half a perfect rating just because I don't know how the fuck to proceed.
Clutch - Sea Of Destruction 5/10
Could have sworn people in here argued that Clutch were metal... Whatever, not a huge fan of this band either way, lyrics are seemly themely. Fuck it. Motherfuckers really are stuck in genres that are barely once removed from metal though. Try some pop for once in your life asshole.
Chelsea Wolfe - Mer 7/10
Fuck I had to research the lyrics to understand them, this song was really interesting, I should check more of her stuff out.
Bedrich Smetana - Die Moldau 6.5/10
This is beautiful and epic, I quite liked it. I have no idea about the poetic source of it's inspiration and how it relates to oceans (or whatever other large bodies of water people were taking a chance at submitting). Since it's an instrumental I'll judge it subjectively as to it's theme. It does kind of remind me of the Moby Dick and Orca films.
Pallas - Atlantis 8/10
Epic and glorious. I loved it. I don't get the distaste for the vocals. The lyrics are so cool too.
Split Enz - Shark Attack 6.5/10
Such a cheesy ocean/sea metaphor!
Nest - Across The Waters 6.5/10
This is really atmospheric and nice, I almost felt negatively but it picked up again at the halfway mark.
Townes Van Zandt - Silver Ships Of Andilar 9/10
Really glad someone submitted a folk music take on this theme, there is such a great wealth of 'sailor tunes' in the folk genre, I was actually going to submit a song by The Dubliners but decided against it. This song is probably the best on the playlist in my opinion.
Paul Robeson - Sea Fever 8/10
Such a voice. This one is very new to me, but I liked it a lot. Wow.

Because the minimum score I can give is zero. Shut the fuck up. You are more butthurt about this than Baroque in the metal mixtape game

Elend - Melpomene
I love Elend but this song isn't one of my faves. It kind of meanders into semi-insignificance, yet retains a cool enough sound. 5/10.
The Sisters of Mercy - Marian
Now I too love The Sisters of Mercy and this is probably my favorite song by them. Thus the score. 10/10.
Led Zeppelin - The Ocean
Super popular pick by a band I really don't care too much about. I learned about half of Stairway to Heaven on guitar for what that's worth. 4/10.
Clutch - Sea of Destruction
This is like the definition of hard rock man. I dig it. 7/10.
Chelsea Wolfe - Mer
Oh shit, tribal drums. Love those. And ethereal goodness. 7/10.
Bedrich Smetana - Die Moldau
Whimsical opening. The strings are gorgeous. Then it gets a little too triumphant. Doesn't really make me feel like I'm in an ocean. Meh. 6/10.
Pallas - Atlantis
The beginning of this song is absolutely terrifying. Yeah I don't like this. 4/10.
Split Enz - Shark Attack
I wish this song was as awesome as it potentially could've been. But no, lots of suckage to be found. 4/10.
Nest - Across the Waters
I dunno, just not feeling this one. It has great moments, but too far and in between. 5/10.
Townes van Zandt - Silver Ships of Andilar
Nice little folky tune we got here. 6/10.
Paul Robeson - Sea Fever
What. Now this is fucking badass. Roll those R's dude. 7/10.
