Write-Up: Um... This is an interesting nomination in that the first time I listened to it I scored it higher but after multiple listens it actually began to lose points. There really weren't a lot of songs that I've "demoted" from further review but here we are with one of them. I feel like the Fresh Prince of Bel Air should be singing this tune. I don't think I'd be able to successfully tell you which parts of this song are the beginning, middle and end since the whole thing maintains the same consistent and sort of monotonous beat. The lyrics aren't all that memorable imo. ====================================
==================================== [8th Place] { 1,229th Place } [70's][ 242nd Place] Song: "Raging River of Fear" Band: Captain Beyond Album: Captain Beyond ---{ 1972 }--- Genre: Hard Rock Score:[3.2][3.1][3.3][0.3][5.2][3.2][3.2] = [21.5] = [3.071] Video:
Write-Up: Not a bad rock song overall but it suffers in a few areas. For one it isn't all that memorable. Really kind of standard for any mediocre 70's song imo. I've never heard of Captain Beyond before but this song could have been from numerous other bands of that time since it kind of follows a rock formula that has been used by many bands of that era. I couldn't find much praise for the band though so maybe they were unable to gain popularity the way I'm sure they probably hoped. ====================================
==================================== [7th Place] { 1,216th Place } [10's][ 243rd Place] Song: "Stoop Sale" Band: MC Frontalot Album: Solved ---{ 2011 }--- Genre: Hip Hop Score:[2.2][4.2][5.2][0.3][4.2][4.2][2.1] = [22.4] = [3.2] Video:
Write-Up: So... I kinda wished I had bumped this a bit more just for the video. It's so much better with the puppet show but... I didn't include a score for the videos. Anyway let's be honest, this just feels like it isn't a real song and was actually made for the puppets. I do like some of the rhyming but I feel like it was kind of rushed. The chorus is silly and I don't think the song can make any sense without the video. I might not change the radio station if this popped up but you can bet I won't be heading out to buy any MCFrontalot cd's any time soon. ====================================
