So those high keyboard(?) notes that start around 0:30 and then recur throughout the song - yeah, I don't like that part. If it was changed to something else I probably would've like the song more.
This song actually frustrates me so much. Why is Geddy's singing so dull here? Like, it clashes with the instrumentation (which is decent). Had he matched it - and I know he's capable of going harder - it would've been much better.
I feel like I should like this more but this is about as good as it gets. Missed potential somewhere in here.. Maybe if most of the song was more like the outro.
Think it needed more variety to raise my interest. Otherwise it was never getting out of the decentish-but-not-great area for me. I liked the second song more too.
I think I'm usually not too fond of songs that sound like 'rallying' music but this isn't too bad. I do find myself rolling my eyes sometimes but it's whatever. I like the energy.
I like this but why is the sound quality for this song not that great? And I listened this on Spotify too. it was better but still had the same problem. Think that may have stopped it from scoring a tad higher.
Not sure what to say about this song. Just take your score. I will say that I had this much lower initially. Also, there's something pretty cool about the repeated 'Encore Une Fois!'
Think this is a good example of a song with good energy despite not always going too hard or fast. I remember that I used to hate how the chorus didn't have vocals but I appreciate it so much more now. And the bagpipes tho.
Very energetic song. That looped sample of de la Rocha really makes the song. I think I'm scoring this lower than I probably should be because I've overplayed the song but oh well.
Pretty fun song. Really love the bass. Still not sure how I feel about the shift to a slow, soft bridge. It was okay but I think I would have liked for the song to get even wilder there.
I listened to the studio version of this song out of curiosity and it just gets pooped on by this version pretty bad. Anyway, I simply like this because interesting sounds and noisy and all. And at a nice fast tempo!
I feel like I'm being disrespected throughout the whole song and it's pretty awesome. Lots of vigor here even during the more quiet verses - I like it.
So for this category I decided to just score songs regularly since something that might grow on you doesn't necessarily mean it will grow on me. However, if it did manage to grow on me, then I gave out 1-2 bonus points (they won't affect this cat's rankings) whenever that occurred.
Anyway, reveal happening some time within the next couple of hours.
Decent but needed more variation for me to like it more. As an aside, that boxing bell sound totally through me off during my first listen; wondered which one of my cats just knocked stuff over in the kitchen.
Another song where I wish the entire song was as toned down as the quieter parts are. The quiet bits with the vocals are great. Everything else.. not as great, but okay.
I want to dislike this song for some reason (I probably think it's really cheesy) but kinda end up liking it. I dunno. Would've been a good choice for this category had I not had this opinion on the first listen.
Super cool opening. Kinda thought the song was going to have a spooky vibe to it because of that but it didn't for the most part. A little disappointing but it was enjoyable nonetheless.
