critique the song above

[His Name Is Frank]

5/10

The instrumentals were excellent, but I'm not a fan of talky music. I prefer it when the musicians actually sing.

Smashing Pumpkins - The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning (remix)

 

[StarOceanHouse]

I really like this remix. i kinda like it better than the original...more of an electronic feel to it.

Jamiroquai - Alright

 

[steinanwine]

Jamiroquai has always been a guilty pleasure of mine so I of course thoroughly enjoyed this song. Love the chorus, when he really gets going. The song is groovy and feel-good. The song gets even better toward the end, I just really dig it and of course you have to love the dancing!
7/10

Muse - Knights of Cydonia ... best part at 3:20 .... love this song

 

[His Name Is Frank]

8/10
Great song and equally great video. The song had kind of a Bohemian Rhapsody sound to it. Muse can do no wrong in my ears.

[Thanatos]

2/10 This is horrible music. Nothing about it is unique, or fun to listen to.

Classic, reminds me of listening to this in high school - 8/10


I posted my favorite song of all time in the electronic music version of this thread and needless to say it was not well received Let's see how it does here . . .

CCR - Lookin' out my back door

 

[His Name Is Frank]

8/10

Creedence is always great, imo. Have You Ever Seen The Rain is my favorite CCR song, but this ranks right up there. It's so damn upbeat and infectious.

Beck - Lost Cause

 

[StarOceanHouse]

The Shins - Turn on Me

 

[Thanatos]

5/10 It was just ok. Nothing too special about it. Nothing really struck a chord with me.

Hieroglyphics-Oakland Blackouts
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=aRfCq7sPqf0

 

[steinanwine]

7/10 ... really like the beat but the rap wasn't strong enough, specifically the first rapper. The rapper with the deeper voice (who actually sounds a lot like the guy in Gorillaz (sorry for my hiphop ignorance) and potentially is that same guy) was really spot on though. That I really dug. Overall though, very groovy song.

Air - Sexy Boy

 

[continuousbeing2]

9/10, my favorite Air song ever made (or, one of them at the very least). I really really love the "singing" during the "verses", so floaty and airy. Always puts me in a good mood

Beirut-Nantes

 

[carl]

I must admit, everything from Gulag Orchestrar impressed me much more than anything from this recent effort. Being said...
7.5/10

Nina Simone - The Family

 

[AmorRoark]

^ fuck! I'm not even reviewing yours because of your snide comments on AIM.

8/10 I really enjoy this song. The vocals remind me of Andrew Bird. I love the accordion (right?). I love the tempo. I love the French. I also enjoyed all the layering. I don't know why I don't listen to Beirut! Thanks so much cb2. What album should I pick up of theirs? It's totally right down my alley. Wow, so I just looked them up and I should be surprised to see Jeremy Barnes assisted the first album release.

edit: OK I felt guilty. I love Nina Simone but this isn't my favorite of hers. I feel like it's not enough for Nina. Needs more soul. Nevertheless I love her so I'll give it 6/10.

David Byrne - The Great Intoxication

 

[steinanwine]

^ LOVE this song. David Byrne has an incredible voice, love the dancing and especially love the intro to this version of the song. This will always be a classic. He loses nothing on his own. Gah, such a great song, 9/10

Sigur Rós - Inní mér syngur vitleysyngur

11/10

one of my favorite songs ever made! love this direction from them, i hope they continue to explore this new terrain more and more!

The Sea And Cake-Coconut

8/10 I really enjoy this song. The vocals remind me of Andrew Bird. I love the accordion (right?). I love the tempo. I love the French. I also enjoyed all the layering. I don't know why I don't listen to Beirut! Thanks so much cb2. What album should I pick up of theirs? It's totally right down my alley. Wow, so I just looked them up and I should be surprised to see Jeremy Barnes assisted the first album release.

I'd definitely start with Gulag Orkestar. I think it really encapsulates what Beirut is all about. Also, you should grab the 5 song Lon Gisland EP while you're at it, a great little collection of delightful tuneage.

It always amazes me to think that a 20 year old kid from new Mexico makes this music. Simply fantastical

 

[StarOceanHouse]

9/10

wow this song is great. this is exactly the type of music im looking for. has a nice melody. got any other recommends?


Cat Stevens - The Wind

[Amebix]

8/10, going buy how difficult i think it would be for me to write an acoustic like that. Other then that it didnt really do it for me.


Conflict - The Serenade is Dead
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7Nr1AV9xI0

 

[Thanatos]

5/10 i didn't get anything out of this. Its not artistic and really, its not even high energy.

Yes-Roundabout

[Amebix]

^ i do believe that song is supposed to convey passion and feeling. I certainly feel it.
