[Metaltastic]

Katatonia - In the White

NICE. Excellent call, one of the late growers on me on that album (probably because of how late it is in the track list), and now one of my favs.

 

[Trevor Marks]

Deadsy - Mansion World (who the fuck listens to deadsy anymore?? if at all)

hell..I do! I thought their latest, Phantasmagore, was great as well.

yeah dude, I've never heard a track that sounds so desperate and sinister, yet catchy at the same time Definitely my fave from TGCD.

 

[aramism]

hmm some random ones i think are very crafty


the police - synchronicity II
dream theater - innocence faded
killswitch engage - just barely breathing
pantera - psycho holiday
soundgarden - blow up the outside world
the beatles - here there and everywhere/ free as a bird/ blackbird (especially blackbird)
a perfect circle - blue
deftones - passenger
tool - right in two
metallica - wherever i may roam
the mamas and the papas - creeque alley
simon & garfunkel - bridge over troubled water
rolling stones - gimmie shelter
o'jays - for the love of money
van halen - dirty movies/ running with the devil
guns n roses - estranged/ bad apples
micheal jackson - billie jean


that's all i can think of now. a few popular ones but other ones that are more personal favorites and "dark horses" for me.


on edit: basically every beatles song. it's still virtually impossible to imagine, just like the concept of infinity for a human, the level of songwriting the beatles achieved. that level of artistic integrity and dominance over their respective "art world" will never be achieved by any other artist nor has it been even close by anyone except the beatles.

 

[Metaltastic]

Ahahahahaha, I can't believe you picked "Innocence Faded" Aramism, I've always hated that chorus because of how oppressively happy it sounds, it's infuriating Really, it's the instrumental break in like the last two minutes that make that song for me, good god...

And Morgoe, Caleb is indeed a great song, but I challenge you to find a chorus in it Definitely not typical song structure there, and it's a pity...

i like happy choruses lol sorry. as i've said before the last DT album sucked because they lost their "happy 80's chorus" feel for songwriting. the playing is there, but the songwriting is not.

 

[Metaltastic]

Oh I DESPISE anything Dream Theater has done from ToT onwards, and I love happy choruses, there was just always something about "Innocence Faded" that grated me (probably the "ahhhhhhh's" in the background ). Now "Strange Deja Vu," THAT'S a great chorus IMO!

lol the ahhhhhs is what does it for me. talk about polar opposite stance on an issue. the exact thing i love about that is what you despise. but hey, that's what makes it fun...

 

[Metaltastic]

Oooh, gotta add another one - "Waking Every God" by Pain of Salvation, my favorite chorus from one of my all-time favorite bands.

 

[grywolf627]

See my post from this thread:

LOL. Sorry...I just have that stuck in my head. So it MUST be a catchy chorus.

Okay...now back to serious answers....

 

[Machinated]

Opeth...Burden

There is something I love about Organ solos - this one is bang on!

 

[kev]

Anything Stratovarius!

 

[MetalMan_99]

Scar Symmetry - The Missing Coordinates
Raunchy - The Bash
Chimaira - Down Again
Soilwork - Rejection Role
Broken Iris - A New Hope
All That Remains - This Calling
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
Still Remains - In Place of Hope
Scar Symmetry - Ghost Prototype I (every SS song has an amazing chorus tbh..)
American Head Charge - Just So You Know

 

[Metaltastic]

Scar Symmetry - The Missing Coordinates

Dude, seriously? To quote myself from earlier in this thread:

Honestly my biggest problem with "Holographic Universe" as an album in general is that IMO almost all the songs have awesome songs but surprisingly (and jarringly) uninspiring choruses, with the exception of "Morphogenesis," "Ghost Prototype I," (good call Jhakwe) and the title track.

And "Missing Coordinates" is the one I dislike the most! Those falsettos and his note choice, not to mention the harmonies, eek, too weird. Of course, this is all a matter of opinion!

 

[hoehlentroll]

Yeah, I love Sonata, one of my favorite bands of all time

that's one of my 5 top favorite bands! best song is replica imho

 

[Metal Overload]

Iron Maiden - Wasted Years
Iron Maiden - Aces high
