This would just be fairly mediocre without the vocals. The vocals are pretty bad. Honestly, though, this could be a lot worse. I'm almost disappointed, tbh.
Well, it's certainly creepy. That's about the only positive thing I can say about it. In no way is this pleasant to listen to. There's no cohesion to the track at all.
Cool drum intro and then it goes real downhill real fast. Random noise over the verse + random low pitched whispering vocals is not really my thing. Mediocre edgy nu metal.
Hard pass on Manson's vocals. Not my thing. Backing instrumental isn't too bad and saves you from being lower. Super edgy, though. Not that this is surprising.
This is way too generic middle school for me. Sounds like every other Breaking Benjamin knockoff that showed up in the mid-00s. Unmemorable in every way.
Generic power metal, and not in a good way. Male vocalist is unremarkable, solos are unmemorable, and everything else is pretty obnoxious. The female vocals bring it back a little.
Didn't like this at all at first, then it grew on me. It's really ****ing weird, but it's not necessarily bad. Kinda chill in an odd sort of way, but too discordant and wall-of-soundy for me to really get into it.
Unfortunately, I'm not really a big fan of Sufjan. His voice is almost trying too hard to be soft or gentle or whatever, IMO. The backing track is just sort of generically "nice". Made it this high off the strength of interesting subject material.
Nice meme. A bit more my speed than the vaudeville submission, and a lot more legitimately funny, but overall not a song that really sticks in my mind.
Weird one. Didn't expect to like this as much as I did, especially given my normal reactions to country. Some of the more discordant parts of the choruses turned me off, but the verses were pretty damn good.
Depeche Mode is a band that walks a fine line between introspective and just uninteresting. This one toes it pretty close, but I think ultimately stays on the correct side of that line. Not the greatest, but not bad.
