Going to take some time off from working on that Pain of Salvation album, so lets start with the newest song posted before I lost track of it:

PSO2 - Hello: I rather like this one. 75-ish points, probably.

And a few more from #185.. Dont know how many, well see where we are when I go to some other topic:

dingerbox - puerto: Somehow this song feels very Sega Saturn to me, though I cant place it to any specific game. Leaning towards 68 points on this one.

Kyoto Animation Medley: The thing with medleys like this is that it never stays with any one part long enough for me to fully enjoy it. I kinda like whoever starts singing around 1:17 (its not technically good, but its cute and I want cute at the moment). I dont much like either of the two singers that immediately follow the saxophone-heavy instrumental. Dango Daikazoku hit harder than expected. Stupid overly emotional Clannad.

Ringring - Ringrin to Asobou: Err... is this possibly the cute singer i praised from the last video? Shes at least in the same cute blonde child (or child-like) singer. At least 70 points; cute song, I wanted cute.

Lets try something different for a bit... eh, Im in the mood to try more Savatage, so lets try one of those. Already did the two suggested songs, so Ill just pick something myself. (Because obviously what I need to be doing now is adding more songs to the list.)

Savatage - The Unholy: Considerably more metal than any of the suggested songs from the band, but I do kinda like it. Like Ive said, references to demons and the gates of hell & Satans army are all pretty easy ways to get my attention. Probably an easy 60 point song.

And while were on that sort of musical kick, lets hit Downs two remaining suggestions.

Down - Bury Me in Smoke: Not bad, but doesnt have anything I really like lyrically or musically (and the prolonged EPIC GUITAR SOLO is definitely not for me)... I should listen to more sludge metal though; its like I know there has to be something I love in this genre, somewhere, but none of the songs Ive heard thus far have been it. Probably a low 50s songI like the genre and the general sound of the track, but have enough complaints that I dont think its particularly close to the 60 point level.

Down - Losing All: I clicked the wrong song, but I think I like this one. I know I shouldnt, the last verse is too suicidal (slit wrists, gun to his head), but... yeah, I like it. Im Lord of Misery! is so over-the-top in terms of blunt sadness that I love it and theres enough vocal distortions on the last verse that its far more intriguing than bothersome. Outro is a bit too long, but not to a point that it hurts the song too much. Im satisfied now, I was searching for one song by this band that I liked a considerable amount and this song fits the bill nicely.

Down - Eyes of the South: Intro goes on way too long... takes a solid 1:40 before the song even starts. And Im not really into the song even when it picks up; I mean, I dont hate it (probably high 40s), but Id say its the weakest song Ive heard from the band thus far.

Whats different... ZZ Ward was country, right? Thats different.

ZZ Ward - Ghost:

Were ghosts! D-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

...Okay, I wasnt expecting whatever this was. Ask me again in a week or so.



Eh, lets try one song from that Chrono Trigger Jazz album that Kelp posted earlier.

OC Jazz Collective - Times Seal (12,000 B.C.): 51 points. Its pleasant, but Im not raving about it.



10 songs, though only 8 were actually on the list... still, reasonable progress.
