Reveal some time later.

Probably the most disappointing category so far.

Category #7 - Get PUMPED

Submit a song that would really get your heart rate going. Primarily looking for aggression and a moderate to fast tempo.

Lazy reveal incoming again. I blame everyone for making it lackluster for me tho.

In 19th,

Dave submits Everybody In The Place by Prodigy

Score: 5.2

Quote:
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.

In 18th,

Gadarene submits Let's Lightning by Pull Tiger Tail

Score: 5.4

Quote:
This song made me bust out laughing for some reason and not in a good way. Anyway.. meh.

In 17th,

CrimsonFox submits Driven by Rush

Score: 6.1

Quote:
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.

In 16th,

Xicor submits Collide by Hellberg & Deutgen vs Splitbreed

Score: 6.2

Quote:
I liked the parts with the vocals. Didn't have enough of that unfortunately.

In 15th,

Godorene submits Come On, Let's Talk About Our Feelings by Fight Like Apes

Score: 6.5

Quote:
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.

In 14th,

gbsfranca submits Man Overboard by blink-182

Score: 6.6

Quote:
This is okay, maybe. Definitely needs a better chorus though.

In 13th,

soah submits Only For The Weak (live) by In Flames

Score: 6.6

Quote:
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.

In 12th,

Zack submits Fire by Vince Staples

Score: 7.0

Quote:
I hadn't heard this before. It's decent.. But again, it's a song that needs more variety for me to consider liking it more.

In 10th,

4maskwolf submits Sparta by Sabaton

Score: 7.2

Quote:
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.

In 10th,

Jmurder3 submits Pow by Lethal Bizzle

Score: 7.2

Quote:
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.

In 9th,

rtspurs submits Encore Une Fois by Sash!

Score: 7.3

Quote:
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!'

In 8th,

TheYoungBasedGod submits Icky Thump by The White Stripes

Score: 7.4 (8.4, 1-point deduction)

Quote:
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.

In 7th,

KarmaDope submits Custer by Slipknot

Score: 7.7

Quote:
Chorus is full of PUMP. Think that mostly carried this song to the score it has.

In 6th,

NeedMoreManasi submits Close Your Eyes (And Count To ****) by Run The Jewels

Score: 7.7 (1-point deduction)

Quote:
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.

In 5th,

Gadarene's GF submits Never Came Around by Evelinn Trouble

Score: 7.8

Quote:
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.

In 4th,

Adam submits Dear Sirs by El-P

Score: 8.0

Quote:
I liked this way more on the first listen. Still, it makes the most out of its short run time. I enjoyed how bombastic it was.

Nodium...



In 22nd,

Owner Of A Lonely Heart submits The Aftertaste by Ben Lee

Score: 2.8 (3.8, 1-point deduction)

Quote:
A snoozefest and there's no pump here for me. You probably expected this.

In 21st,

Walrein submits New Low by Middle Class Rut

Score: 3.7

Quote:
I just plain don't like this song very much. That's all there is to it.

In 20th,

Weatherguy submits Let's Fighting Love by Erock

Score: 5.0

Quote:
I guess the guitar work is decent and the dude can shred but that really doesn't help me like the song he's sampling very much.
A Roman Walrus - Reveal Quote
06-29-2017 , 11:36 PM
Podium... lol!



In 1st,

Bloobird submits No New Wave No Fun by Mclusky

Score: 8.1

Quote:
I just really like noisy stuff, huh? Very wild, pretty good.

In 1st,

Nego submits Super Inuit by Holy ****

Score: 8.1

Quote:
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!

In 1st,

xander biscuits submits 16 Shots by Stefflon Don (alternate link)

Score: 8.1

Quote:
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.
A Roman Walrus - Reveal Quote
06-29-2017 , 11:40 PM
I have no idea if I should give those three each 5 points for first or a split average of 4 points.

Anyway, next category may take me an extra day to complete because you know what I asked for and all. It may be a total mess. I dunno yet.

So... let's try for a Wednesday reveal.

Sorry, have been in a slump + taking my time with listens in order to get this cat right.

still revealing faster than i did
A Roman Walrus - Reveal Quote
07-05-2017 , 09:26 PM
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.

In 18th,

Owner Of A Lonely Heart submits Surprises by Billy Joel

Score: 7.0

Quote:
I really enjoy the melody that starts at 1:15 and 2:12. The rest of the song I like less... so this is where we are.

In 18th,

Weatherguy submits Aggressive Bee by MC Mr Napkins

Score: 7.0

Quote:
lmao.

In 16th,

rtspurs submits You Know What I Want To Know by David Kitt

Score: 7.1

Quote:
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.

In 16th,

Xicor submits Till It's Over by Tristam

Score: 7.1

Quote:
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.
A Roman Walrus - Reveal Quote
07-05-2017 , 10:51 PM
In 15th,

Jmurder3 submits The Right One by Phenomenal Handclap Band

Score: 7.2

Quote:
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.
A Roman Walrus - Reveal Quote
07-05-2017 , 10:54 PM

In 13th,

Adam submits Low Lays The Devil by The Veils

Score: 7.4 (and +1 bonus point)

Quote:
I'll give you half the bonus because this did grow on me but not by much. Good although I think the chorus gets a little stale.

In 13th,

CrimsonFox submits Between The Wheels by Rush

Score: 7.4

Quote:
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.
