Themed Mixtape Game

[Phylactery]

I can't believe the poor ratings for my Cultes des Ghoules pick! I've been listening to it with your ratings in mind to see if I'm overrating it, but nah, you all just suck . It's a solid 7.5/8 out of 10 in my book. Besides, you can hardly get more on theme than a song about the school of dark arts itself!

Mayhem should have definitely won, though. Obvious as it is, we've not had the band picked before (I refuse to acknowledge the shitty song that @Satanstoenail once submitted as a real Mayhem track.) I'll blame all the philistines that don't like black metal for it not winning.

Did anyone downvote Mayhem for being black metal? I think most people that rated it lower did so for obviousness.

 

[Phylactery]

Baroque gave it a 3 something.

It's also no more obvious or less classic than Morbid Angel, which scored half a point higher because of the bias against black metal on this forum.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

damn i didn't know that obvious picks were considered cheap. i would have deducted in favor of hour of 13

Well that's just silly.

bias against black metal on this forum

Black Metal used to be the most popular genre on here at one point. There's still loads of Black Metal fans on here as far as I know. It just doesn't generally do well on this game.

Death metal definitely needs to be taken down a notch.

Praise trad
Praise thrash

Just praise good music.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

That's what I said.

 

[CiG]

Indeed but you narrowed it down unnecessarily.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Ha! I reckon you're all in big shock since I actually did the rating!

I figured you knew you were in the running to win this round, and that's why you bothered to rate. And yet, here you are, and you don't have a theme ready for us.

That's how it was. Great thinking!

Can someone list all the themes that were already played?

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

I couldn't list every single one off the top of my head, but I know them all. I could definitely recognize if it's a theme that's been done before.

 

[EspaDa]

Dont remember if gore has been done? Or death? Or angst?

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

None of those things.

The themes that haven't been done include gore, death, angst, Tolkien, Poe, Robert E. Howard, vampirism, lycanthropy, bereavement, solitude, desolation, murder, rape, torture, hatred, misanthropy, body horror, food, time, reminiscence, America, BDSM, sodomy, butts, mythological creatures, exhaustion, mistakes, childhood, motherhood, fatherhood, sports, horses, motorcycles, sea creatures, and toilet humor.

 

[CiG]

body horror

Awesome theme.

 

[EspaDa]

Hatred definitely has been done and it's been even my choice.

And how come death hasnt already been done?

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

And how come death hasnt already been done?

Because that's probably half of all metal songs.

 

[CiG]

And we'd still just get shit like Obituary, Autopsy, Morbid Angel etc.

 

[EspaDa]

So the new theme is THE SUN and THE MOON. Send in the songs that are directly about them or such tracks that use them as a metaphor.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I think death would work as a theme if you picked a more specific sub-theme of it, such as "mourning" or "dying moments" or whatever.
