The Dillinger Escape Plan

Not really a fan of the three top songs on Spotify. I was turned off by the song titles and felt, "wow, I do not want to click these names" ; then I got a page with the lyrics pulled up ("If you wanna cry bitch go do it alone ") and I really did not want to click the song.

I listened to it out of obligation to do so; it was not any better than I expected. "Setting Fire to Sleeping Giants" heavily reminded me of "Ningen wo Kaburu", the ill-fated Dir en Grey song that came in 178th Place--which may have been too high a ranking, honestly.

Black Bubblegum was alright. It kinda invited comparisons to Dixie Wolf:

But you forgot that in your fairy tale I'm the wolf
All this attention got you thinking that you're a queen
You think that everything you're doing isn't a dream
Long as it feels alright



I am the villain to you
You are the princess to me
I got you where I want you
Let love bring you to your knees
If I can not have you, darling, no one will
This fairy tale is ending, this fairy tale is ending

Not really the same, granted, but... well they're both songs by metal bands that are less intense than the other songs I've heard by their respective bands and containing references to fairy tales. So that was a nice memory.



Childish Gambino

Still good, though I preferred R.I.P. and Shadows to anything I went through tonight. Looked at a list of his best songs, which gave me "Secret Track" (a remix of a song I still haven't heard which is notable because the internet had to do some work to actually get the track), "Stand Tall", "Sweatpants", and "Redbone". I'll need to listen to more at some later point...

...okay, I don't have much time at the computer tonight, so I'm gonna have to cut these a bit short:

The Filthy Mind--not the best DM DOKURO song, but all of his stuff is good so I was happy to hear it.

Got hive of Ra--When I saw "E.G.G." I thought this was going to be a song from Elemental Gimmick Gear. I'm sure that EGG isn't particularly good, but as an obscure Dreamcast RPG I never had a chance to play, I got really excited to see a reference to it... only for this E.G.G. to be totally unrelated. Song's nice, though I irrationally hold points against it for being the wrong egg acronym.

Bomber Girl--Not bad. I didn't care for it at first, but after Milk Lizard, I've realized how much better this song actually is. I also like having some chaos and this is the most chaotic song I've heard tonight, which gives it a bit of an edge.



Party Hard (Symphonic)--Still not a fan of symphonic covers in general, sorry. Don't think I'd ever heard this song before, so I had to go find the original...I'm not sure if it was a serious song or ironic like Fight For Your Right to Party.

Written Invitation to Death--Another day, another RPG song that tries too hard to sound epic. Honestly, it's several steps beyond that Bravely Default song that was nominated for the ranking, but I doubt it could hit the top 100.

Cabin in the Woods--Kinda funny, has a 60s beach party vibe and while I don't know much about Evil Dead, I know enough to laugh at all of Ash's lines. I could see myself listening to the whole album someday.
