Themed Mixtape Game

[Baroque]

Leviticus - 8 this is more my style of trad. I sense some Motörhead influence in there.

Stormwitch - 5 not entirely cringeworthy for an iron maiden wannabe

Revocation - 6 I should theoretically like this band, but I never have. Something always seems off.

Triptykon - 9 this album took me by surprise when it first came out, I had forgotten about it. Thanks.

Ahab - 4 cool atmosphere but this really does drag on. I had a composition teacher say a big problem with many composers is they don't realize when they're getting boring. That's these guys.

Fates warning - 5 never been a fan

Summoning - 5 eh

Eternal Champion - 6 the music has potential but super weak vocals. It's repetitive also.

Jag Panzer - 10 terrific. Vocally, the pacing, the story

Blind Guardian - 3 this is one of those maximum cheese power metal bands that I just can't stand. Like eating a bowl of white sugar it's just too much empty calories with no real flavor

Iron maiden - 1 down rating famous bands because it's just someone trying to win and not actually give us new music. Also iron maiden is basically blind guardian In My Opinion. I find them intolerable.

Sabbat - 9 sweet speed/thrash metal here, reminds me of Aspid somewhat. I don't remember sabbat sounding like this.

[arg]

Seems like a fun game how do I play

 

[The Butt]

Hey arg.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Fuck, I forgot to submit my ratings. I typed up ratings on notepad, but I forgot to copy-paste them to this thread.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Sweet, got lucky that the song wasn't picked since we just had the Awaken the Guardian album survivor recently. I knew going all-in-crowd these rounds would work. I'll go with what I said earlier...

I'd like to do a theme for each half of operant conditioning (a punishment theme and a reinforcement theme). Punishment first.

For clarity, any song regarding actions intended to reduce another kind of action is acceptable, meaning anything from self-inflicted temperance to a lifetime of purgatory. Most S&M-type stuff probably doesn't count.

 

[CiG]

Interesting concept, I immediately have a few ideas.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

I sent my song. I'm glad to give this a go.

 

[AllShallFall]

Never played before, so this should be interesting.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

S&M doesn't count? Fuck you, penis-lover.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

It's not a punishment if you enjoy it.

 

[Funerary_Doom]

LOL. Hbb youre hilarious. I'm not sure if you're trying to be funny or if that's just your personality but yeah it's hilarious.

I'll send a track when I'm less drunk and at home.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I've got 11 or 12 or something submissions, will probably post the playlist this evening (several hours from now).

 

[no country for old wainds]

THAT'S RIGHT

YOU WILL SUFFER MY PUNISHMENT

i bet that's there

 

[Funerary_Doom]

Just sent in mine. checked this just in time!

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I might have fucked up with my pick but whatever.

 

[CiG]

Great, I'm free right now so I'm gonna rate it soon, while I play some Dawn Of War.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Satan - Break Free

8.5/10

Even though it's not the strongest song on Court in the Act, I can't really find much fault for it in this playlist. I definitely dig the idea of seeking to punish those who wrongly put you away. Good stuff.

Defeated Sanity - Arousal Through Punishment

4/10

This is not at all the type of metal that I enjoy. I really thought this was shit. I can't argue with the lyrics being appropriate for the playlist, even though I think they're pretty dumb.

Dying Fetus - Killing on Adrenaline

1/10

This is not for me. I thought that basically everything about it was annoying and the lyrics were super edgy. It's not my thing.

Seventh Angel - Locked Up in Chains

6/10

This was interesting at least. I'm not exactly sure what type of metal this is, but the doomy parts were neato. The vocalist had me sold on his torment too.

Blind Guardian - Banish from Sanctuary

7.5/10

Lots of energy from this song. I'm digging this. I should buy this album. I definitely think that this works for the playlist theme. I hope they don't show up in the next game because they were in the last one too.

Exodus - The Ballad of Leonard and Charles

2/10

How the mighty have fallen. I haven't heard any newer Exodus music until today. This takes way too long to go anywhere and it isn't exciting when it does. The vocals are pretty annoying too.

The Chasm - Storm of Revelations

7/10

I'm not much of an extreme metal guy, but the guitars in this song were pretty cool. I liked the lyrics a lot too. This was one of the better surprises on the playlist.

Burzum - Key to the Gate

6/10

This sounded really wicked and evil. I had to look up the lyrics and I'm honestly not sure if this is a good song for this theme. I thought it was weird.

Dread Sovereign - We Wield the Spear of Longinus

9/10

This was awesome. A really intense and crushing doom metal song. The vocalist was bizarrely similar in tone to a doom metal version of David Bowie, which worked for some reason. Cool stuff.

Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno

4/10

I can't deny the lyrics to this song work here, but I think this song is overlong and pretty annoying to listen to. I'm just not big on this type of thing.

Thunder Rider - Electric Chair

6/10

This wasn't bad but it isn't that exciting either. I like the vocalist and the lyrics are cool. This song definitely works for this playlist.

Slayer - Payback

3/10

I love their early music, but this song has very little of what I like about it. It's trying really hard, but everything is just off. The production sounds like shit and none of the band members sound like they believe in what they're doing.

Starlight Ritual - Seal the Light

7/10

This was interesting. It was pretty otherwordly at times and I liked the chill vibe that I got. A cool surprise at the end of the game.

 

[CiG]

Satan - Break Free 7/10
Classic album but one of it's weaker songs.

Defeated Sanity - Arousal Through Punishment 3/10
Funnily enough, though I hate this shit, the production is actually quite good. Lyrics don't seem to describe the theme, even though it's in the song title.

Dying Fetus - Killing On Adrenaline 4/10
I remember I used to like this band. No idea what I heard in them. Better than the last song though. Lyrics read like an edgy douchebag mixture of ignorant rap music and terrible tough guy USHM/USHC. Music for bros.

Seventh Angel - Locked Up In Chains 6.5/10
Finally someone submits something I've never heard of, and it's quite decent too. Christian metal always piques my interest. Thanks to whoever had the guts to go with something obscure.

Blind Guardian - Banished From Sanctuary 7/10
I love this band's first two albums so much.

Exodus - The Ballad Of Leonard And Charles 4/10
Serial killer lyrics are always interesting to me. But this pretty much does nothing for me musically.

The Chasm - Storm Of Revelations 6.5/10
Half good half terrible drum sound, like an old typewriter at times. Love the vocals and riffs though, plus it has a cold atmosphere to it. Those drums though...

Burzum - Key To The Gate 8/10
Interesting take on the theme. Obviously a classic metal album, to me he is a master of music in general.

Dread Sovereign - We Wield The Spear Of Longinus 7.5/10
Great choice. Great lyrics. Great band. Fuck Satan!

Iced Earth - Dante’s Inferno 5/10
Not a huge fan of this band, I do enjoy their first two albums, especially Night Of The Stormrider. This doesn't do much for me.

Thunder Rider - Electric Chair 7/10
Great band, totally overlooked, unfortunately not the best song off the album.

Slayer - Payback 4/10
No thanks. Braindead tough guy crap. "Payback's a bitch motherfucker" are you 12? Gtfo.

Starlight Ritual - Seal The Light 7/10
Something about this throws me off, but holy riffs and holy damn what a vocalist!

This round was okay...
