Rate The Song Above You

[Rhoda]

6/10, a song from one of the biggest left turns in popular music, Kid A (and for the most part Amnesiac too) saw Radiohead ditching their alternative rock sensibilities for a more electronic and experimental sound. Some would argue they had nowhere left to go and fancied re-inventing the wheel. Truth be told, I've always preferred Kid A and Amnesiac to anything else, and I feel the group are at their most creative when playing this style. This track feels more like a bridge between OK Computer and Kid A and I'm okay with that. It's by no means my favourite from the album but it's decent.

8/10. Great song, great band. I love the psychedelic sound, and Wayne Coyne's vocals are awesome, a touch of distortion and lots of reverb. I rate the album as a whole.

 

 

[GhettoJesus]

Pretty good song, takes it nice and slow. The drums had a weird sound (were those even drums?) but overall really good. 9/10

 

 

[s-u-r-y-a]

7/10 - Seems like it hasn't evolved much in the hood. Very good lyrics by Cube.

 

 

[Mondale]

10/10. Absolute stonker of a tune.

 

That was part of the soundtrack to my life growing up, just awesome.

 

Who needs The Beatles when you can do this?

 

 

[scorseses]

7/10 A pretty decent rock tune. McCartney does pretty well with Foo Fighters & Novaselic.

7/10 decent tune, really soulful 

 

 

[Oh Sees]

9/10 This song is great! Tago Mago is a masterpiece!

 

 

[scorseses]

9/10 Great song. One of my favourites from Ty Segall.

8/10

 

 

Here’s a classic straight from San Andreas

 

 

[kobeni]

9/10 good song. Love the OG sample from that track(I Got Some by Sugar Billy Garner)

 

 

[scorseses]

9.5/10 Roy Ayers is awesome. Liquid Love is another good track from Ayers. I love songs like this where there's only one line. Sometimes it can be pulled off pretty well (e.g, Public Image Ltd's "This Is Not A Love Song").

 

Speaking of which:

 

 

[GTA1029]

6/10 kinda got a little too repetitive for me

 

 

[scorseses]

8.5/10 Can't really say 70s' heavy metal is my favourite genre, but this is a definite classic.

6/10 not a fan of nick cave

3/10, there was an attempt at making interesting sounding drums but the actual sample sounds awful to me. The ambience in the background is significantly worse in quality and makes me wonder where it was actually pulled from, because the drums are so clean the whole thing sounds jarring. The vocal sample sounds like it's drowning.

 

 

[Mister Pink]

@RhodaInteresting music. I had to look them up as I've never heard of them. Didn't know if the track was old or by a contemporary act using vintage synths. Some parts remind of of Saucerful of Secrets. It's definitely sounds like an extended jam. Maybe too much like a jam for me. Maybe, it's perfect for fans and I'm too meddling but would love to hear what this could be like if sounded less like a jam and sections were tidied up a bit to sound like they had more intent and less-free flowing. But I might kill the essence of it. 7/10

 

(had to post it because I spent time listening and replying and since then got another reply.  )

 

Not sure what to say about The Spooky Kids. I feel like I've heard that sound before in a few other acts (goes searches) Ah.. it's Marilyn Manson. Thats explains it. Was listening to some of his interviews recently.   Dont' remember hearing The Spooky Kids name before. 7/10

 

Literally just discovered this group. So, I'll share it here. It's a Chinese group. They sound like Depeche Mode or NIN in many ways.

Intriguing. 

 

9/10 Huh, that actually wasn't too bad. You weren't kidding about it sounding like Depeche Mode and NIN. I should check out this band's library and see what else they have to offer. Thoroughly enjoyed that track. 

 

I have become aware of the fact that the British post-punk band Wire released a new album. This song by far is my favourite from the album. 

 

 

[GhettoJesus]

I dunno, the rhythm is weird, the voice is weird. The instruments is really there though. I think if there weren't so many stressed sounds it would have been way better. I am giving it a 5/10

 

Now if you know which game is this from without looking at the comments then you are an alright fella.

 

 

[kobeni]

8/10 sounds like a great song to play in a mosh pit

 

 

[scorseses]

8.5/10 Puts off a Cranberries vibe. Really like this track.

8/10 haven’t listened to a lot of Pixies. But this is a great song 

 

 

[kobeni]

7/10 its ok

 

 

[GTA1029]

8/10

 

 

[kobeni]

9/10 i love alan vegas vocals, they fit extremely well with the trippiness of the instrumental. Seems like a lot of psych bands these days have a thing for emulating his style

 

Heres my favorite underworld track

7/10, I think it's a shame that Underworld didn't take off in the same way The Prodigy did and continue to experience a successful career, both currently and retroactively. I have particular fond memories about this track as I used it midway through a DJ set adding more stutters on the drums that creep back in about 3/4 of the way in, and I mixed in another Underworld song "Born Slippy", arguably the more popular one. I really like the static that dominates this song too, adding background noise in a way that isn't distracting.

 

 

 

[GTA1029]

4/10 I’ve tried listening to this all the way through but the beat got way too repetitive for me.

 

 

 

 

 

[The Implex]

2/10 Really not my taste.

 

[s-u-r-y-a]

8/10 - Sounds like some mid 80's new wave. It's very energizing.

 

 

[GhettoJesus]

I think it was too long and way too repetitive. The vocals were weird, the instruments could have been better. 3/10
