| digiiiiiiiii 12/04/17 9:10:52 AM #31: | Gin Wigmore - Kill of the Night Sometimes I like this woman's voice and sometimes I really don't. The louder she gets, the more I dislike the voice. It is almost something I enjoy immensely. But it's not quite there for me, the little bit that tips over the edge to annoying breaks the entire song for me. I'd like it completely otherwise. Mobb Deep (ft. Nas & Raekwon) - Eye for a Eye (Your Beef is Mines) Ah, Nas, one of the best rappers to ever blow up for one second and then do nothing of note after that. This is a great song, good beat, good guest spots, good everything. I like it. Andy Akiho - NO one To kNOW one Parts of this feel like music, which is a plus, but eventually it tries way hard to be unique and random and I really don't like it. It doesn't feel very Halloween-y to me, either. Sorority Noise - A Portrait Of I'm really glad music kicked in because I thought the first few seconds was going to be the whole song. I like a lot of talky singers, guys like the singer from Cake and The Mountain Goats, and I feel like this guy is trying to do that to an extent, but it doesn't really do it for me. I guess it falls short when the music accompanying is pretty standard alt rock. N-qia - Shootingstar I actually like this a good amount ... it's not really in my wheel house but it sounds nice. I feel like it would be better without the dreamy vocals at all, however. If the whole song sounded closer to the breakdown around 2:30, I'd be super into it. Andy Shauf - The Magician This is really fantastic. I've never really heard Andy Shauf before, but I'm getting some Sean Lennon vibes, and some others, but that one is the most prominent. There's someone else too, but I can't quite figure out who and it's driving me crazy. These are dreamy vocals done right, and the music all around it is put together extremely well. I will be listening to this again. The White Stripes - Jolene (Dolly Parton Cover) The original is definitely one of the best country songs of all time. I really don't like this though ... he's perfectly capable of singing the song in his style without missing like half of the consonant sounds, I don't really get the style choice here. I can see why someone might think this is extremely powerful and filled with emotion, but it doesn't do it for me. Dream Theater - Honor Thy Father I'm definitely not going to give you 10 minutes worth of writeups, but I'll listen to Dream Theater any day. This isn't my favorite song by hem, but it's still very good. The drums are the standout, as far as I'm concerned. Good stuff. The Move - I Can Hear The Grass Grow Hey, my dad used to listen to this band a lot. They were never as big over here, but I am pretty familiar with this song. I like it a lot. Just really great late 60s psychedelic pop. Joey Bada$$ - Y U DON'T LOVE ME? You know what, I've listened to Joey Bada$$ several times and every time I couldn't quite place who he reminds me of, and now I know: he reminds me of good KiD CuDi -- aka mixtape CuDi. This song, especially. Great flow, wish it went a bit harder. Mastodon Blue Walsh Hey, I heard this pretty recently ... that's because it's new, right? There's a lot of chill Mastodon in this track, and while chill Mastodon isn't my favorite Mastodon, it's still very good. The transition at 3:00 is dope and I really don't have a lot more to say about it except <3 Mastodon The Magician > Blue Walsh > Honor Thy Father > Eye for an Eye > I Can Hear the Grass Grow > Y U DON'T LOVE ME? > Shootingstar > Kill of the Night > A Portrait Of > NO one To kNOW one > Jolene (Dolly Parton cover) --- ...
