Dizzyqtp, with Prepare the Masses by A Change of Pace

so I used to really hate emo as, first, a grungy teenager into metal, and then later a pretentious early 20-something into indie music, but in recent years I've really got into a lot of modern emo, stuff like Jeff Rosenstock and The Hotelier

and then this comes along and damn I'm back to remembering everything I hated about the genre

the music is pretty inoffensive, but the vocal style is nails on a chalkbald and the lyrics feel like they were written by an overwrought 16 year-old after watching Baz Lurhman's Romeo and Juliet

sorry, I put it back on to see if I was being harsh but had to turn it off after a minute, this is just awful

I think that Bloo will like my song well enough (maybe not podium-wise), but may see it as only a loose category fit.

Plus, I gotta represent the home country.

I thought you were being a little harsh as I was listening to this while reading your review. The beginning actually is kinda cool. But then he starts singing and reveals how indeed generic this is. I can't even say this song HAS a genre.

ok so we're two for two on 'songs from genres I used to hate but now like that have reminded me why I hated them in the first place'

Spoiler:
Eric, with We're Gonna Love Tonight by Alan Doyle

so, yeah, I really like country music but I like it grimy and dirty

nothing particularly interesting in the lyrics or music to make it stand out, and it's all just super clean and overproduced and autotuned and I really don't enjoy that, although at least I can make it through the whole song unlike #11

I dislike this one for many of the same reasons I disliked the last one.

Spoiler:
bwslim69, with I'm Ready by Twin Shadow

gosh is this overproduced

and the lyrics feel like they were produced by some kind of random inspirational quote generator, really not feeling them at all

I guess it manages to be slightly more musically interesting than the last one, but it basically sounds to me like a much less good version of Waving Flag (the greatest World Cup song ever btw)

Folk, not country. I would never submit a country song to anyone.

not my thing but more interesting than the nodium

KarmaDope, with King's Harvest by Avatar

yeah, my metal days are largely over now, and what I do enjoy tends to be the more ludicrous end of the genre, but this was OK, just never really going to be my thing

I really struggle to differentiate this from other similar metal bands but at least appreciated that it was relatively concise and not an 8 minute epic

eh, sounded pretty country to me, but I may have been taking that read off the production
