Non-metal Themed Mixtape Game

[Phylactery]

"Wrecking Ball" is such an existential masterpiece. Music is rarely this raw, introspective and authentic. The pre-chorus is a perfect build up as the chorus launches into the stratosphere with Cyrus' vocals soaring and exploring depths of human vocal modulation previously unknown. The recursive structure of the song mimics that of life and nature and the dread that exists within. Never before have visuals and audio been integrated so artfully, perfectly bringing to life this conceptually difficult piece. It depicts the absolute threshold of anguish and despair, and therefore, unequivocally advances human expression. Like all high art, it'll be years before this is appreciated for what it truly is; the first essential masterpiece of this century.

I like the part where you can almost see the outline of her anus.

[Satanstoenail]

Anyone got time to tally the ratings and send the results to me? I just don’t have time lately but I’d like to see this game survive and move on.

Turbonegro - Selfdestructo Bust
8/10
I haven't really listen much to the 'nigra, but they lay down some good solid punk rock.

Beastmilk - Surf The Apocalypse
9/10
However, my love of punk rock is second to my love of post-punk.

Band Of Light - The Four Horseman Of The Apocalypse
8/10

Kate Bush - Breathing
6.5/10
It got off to a good start, with the verse section, but the rest of the song is kind of lackluster.

Suede - Shipbuilding
6.5/10

Nirvana - I Hate Myself and Want to Die
The best Nirvana is the shit that isn't overplayed.
8.5/10

George Crumb, "Black Angels," Movt. 1, "Departure"
8/10
Menacing strings.

Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball
1/10
This normie trash has no place here.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

[viewerfromnihil]

You broke the existing tie and gave us a new one. @TechnicalBarbarity Any chance you'll take a crack at this or are we doing a sudden-death?

edit: Any bystanders who haven't voted, feel free to throw in votes

Ight I'll try to break this tie for y'all, but don't blame me for making a new one or causing a preexisting tie to get even worse!

Turbonegro - Selfdestructo Bust
Makes me want to dance. Pretty rocking tune. 8/10.

Beastmilk - Surf The Apocalypse
I'm going surfing right after I'm done rating this mixtape. I remember listening to this album on my way to a Pearl Jam show, so automatic nostalgia points. 9/10.

Band Of Light - The Four Horseman Of The Apocalypse
This had some interesting elements that kept me engaged throughout. Kind of reminded me of a male version of Coven. Cool. 8/10.

Kate Bush - Breathing
I can definitely see why people say Tori Amos got a lot of influence from this broad. Pretty good. 6/10.

Suede - Shipbuilding
I like ballads like this. But it also reminds me of Aldous Snow, so there's that. 6/10.

Nirvana - I Hate Myself and Want to Die
Nirvana has their good tracks, but overall I find mediocre rhyming/screaming rock music. This is one of those tracks. 5/10.

George Crumb, "Black Angels," Movt. 1, "Departure"
Sounds like something I'd hear in "The Exorcist" or "The Shining". Yes please. 8/10.

Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball
I've been known to get quite drunk with my buddy and we'd karaoke this song whilst screaming at the tops of our lungs. We were not appreciated. 5/10.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

Dweller to the rescue! At first glance, I thought the tie was perpetuated, but thankfully not.

Turbonegro - Selfdestructo Bust 60.5
Beastmilk - Surf The Apocalypse 61.5
Band Of Light - The Four Horseman Of The Apocalypse 59.5
Kate Bush - Breathing 54
Suede - Shipbuilding 51
Nirvana - I Hate Myself and Want to Die 50
George Crumb, "Black Angels," Movt. 1, "Departure" 47.5
Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball 27

So, whoever submitted that, congrats! It was caught up in both ties, so it is perhaps the appropriate winner.

edit: I'll add that if I fucked up the math on final scores, it wouldn't be the first time, so feel free to double-check. Or just ignore it if you catch it so we can finally move on.

 

[Phylactery]

You’re such a bizarre character to me Dweller. A surfing doctor that primarily listens to black metal! Just a really odd mix! Cool, though.

 

[Satanstoenail]

@Serjeant Grumbles wins!

Cheers to Black Orifice for tallying. No thanks to TB for being the only one not to rate when the game was tied even after repeated requests.

Just got back from the water. It was cold, gray, foggy, rainy and generally miserable. Black metal af!
