Non-metal Themed Mixtape Game

When the last round was announced somebody said something like "I have a ton of songs about the sea but none about the ocean. This theme is narrow as fuck!" I think it's safe to say that person downrated the river song.

Roy Hargrove & The RH Factor - I’ll Stay 7/10
Laid-back, jazzy boogie soul music. I'm liking it. Almost hard to believe this is modern.

Modest Mouse - Ohio 5/10

I just can't get into these ultra-American rock/punk bands, the vocal styles (strong whiny accent is what I meant by "ultra-American") always without fail annoy me into distaste. Which sucks because often I like their ideas, productions and instrumentation.

Siouxsie & The Banshees - Suburban Relapse 9/10

Pretty much contains everything I want in a non-metal piece of music.

Angizia - Mein Gaul, Mein Gaul Verreckt Im Dreck 4/10

Is it on theme because the horse is being overworked? Kind of an irritating listen in general.

Pearl Jam - Blood 4/10

Pointless radio "hard rock" lacking in substance. Meh.

Portishead - Threads 7/10

I really liked the building tension in this piece. Portishead are great.

Rosemary & Garlic - Old Now 8/10
......And this is why I play, to discover new, amazing music. This was adorable and charming and beautiful in every way.

Melanie Laurent - En T’attendant 4/10

After translating the lyrics, I don't quite see how it's on theme. As to the music, it's okay, somewhat standard.

Michael Jackson - Workin' Day And Night 7/10

Great song. Classic album.

Pretty good list, thanks to those that showed me some new music. :D
 
The RH Factor – I’ll Stay
Nice cover of the old Funkadelic tune. 7/10

Modest Mouse – Ohio
Yep I still can't stand this band. Hipster wank. They do sound pretty exhausted though, so points for that. 4/10

Siouxsie and the Banshees – Suburban Relapse
Dug this, simple but effective and intense and the lyrics rule. 8/10

Angizia - Mein Gaul, mein Gaul verreckt im Dreck
I'm a pleb that doesn't appreciate high art like this. Annoying as fuck. 2/10

Pearl Jam – Blood

I used to like this band back in the early days of grunge. They had some ok moments but this is just dad rock really. 4.5/10

Portishead – Threads
Great song. Haven't listened to this in ages. Portishead are the undisputed heavyweight champions of bleak. 8/10

Rosemary & Garlic - Old Now
Nice. Reminds me of Radiohead crossed with Chelsea Wolfe. 8.5/10

Melanie Laurent – En t’attendant

Not but but nothing special. Pleasant. 5.5/10

Michael Jackson - Workin' Day And Night

One of my fave MJ tunes. Super funky and danceable and full of youthful enthusiasm. 10/10
 
The RH Factor – I’ll Stay - 7

Siouxsie and the Banshees – Suburban Relapse - 5

Angizia - Mein Gaul, mein Gaul verreckt im Dreck - 4
german is cool but this is weird

Pearl Jam – Blood - 4
redneck rock

Portishead – Threads - 8

Rosemary & Garlic - Old Now - 9
so peaceful and soothing it makes me forget about illegals for awhile

Melanie Laurent – En t’attendant - 9
she's tired of waiting and is hungry for cock, which id gladly give her

Michael Jackson - Workin' Day And Night - 7
quite good but he has much better (thriller, bad and dangerous)
