I don't understand why MKW gets hated on as much as it does (Blue Shells aside) or why MKDD has been climbing the ranks in people's hearts (two drivers weren't that special).

I agree with the first point, but on the second, 2v2 multiplayer is super fun. Like, try it again, it's way more fun than you remember.

Hmm, I don't really remember being bothered by that. To me the mission mode helped make up for the obvious multiplayer deficiencies - that was a great addition.

Isn't Village of the Damned/the novel it was based on kind of the first instance of that in mainstream pop culture? Speaking of I should watch that, never seen it.

bunbleman - Spider
Like almost every Mycro submission I'm kind of torn about it. It's chaotic, discordant, and annoying, yet there are certain aspects of it I like. The very beginning reminds me of Metal Crusher from Undertale - a plus. The melody slowly evolves into something somewhat interesting around the 2-minute mark or a little after. Honestly though by the 3-minute mark I'm pretty much just waiting for the song to end.

I'll put up the new topic I guess since I think I'm last

(1ST) Varien - Valkyrie III: Atonement (feat. Laura Brehm)
Initially sounds like it was made to be used in movie trailers. Vocals are nice. Pretty cool when the synth & drums come in at 1:50. That fill at 2:28 is dope, and the part right after where it opens up a bit reminds me of tAtU, with the way the vocals come through. It's good; goes a little long. I was hoping the synth would do some crazy solo-y stuff at the end, was totally an opportunity for it before the vocals come in for the last time at 5:23

(2nd) Bad Suns - Transpose
Definitely my kind of alt-rock, which Brohan clearly has down. I like that it's more upbeat than the last two submissions, but it's not quite as powerful or interesting. For sure something that'd be fun to drum along to.

(3rd) My Brightest Diamond - To Pluto's Moon (Son Lux Remix)
Unassuming to start, but goes through a nice subtle build & wash, and when the beat drops at 1:57 to join loop from 1:42, it's pretty dang dope. Those swells that start at 2:53, create a cool, anxious effect. Then there's some cool synth stuff going on in the background shortly after. The best submission through Wednesday.

Tupac - Keep Ya Head Up
Pac was a cool dude. It's nice to hear a rap song with kind lyrics that empower women, and which could inspire anyone really. The use of "Ooh Child" is icing on the cake - it's nice that they hold off on using it till the chorus instead of basing the whole song around it, unlike what a lot of hip-hop songs do with their samples. It was really a nice surprise.

Queens of the Stone Age - If I Had A Tail
Initially I was in agreement with others who felt this was a pretty average 'Queens' tune, and it kind of is, but it grew on me a bit. Definitely would be a good driving song, as the music video would imply. The one overhead shot reminded me of Spy Hunter, not sure if that was intentional. There have definitely been better songs like this, with a driving beat that's still in the pocket - a 'crusing' song - and it's not as good as something like 3's and 7's, but it's catchy and the chorus is memorable.

Freddie Gibbs and Madlib - Thuggin'
Nice, chill delivery and mood, despite the crass lyrics. Sampling is well-utilized. Not much else to say about it.

The Human Abstract - Crossing the Rubicon
I do not like metal. So, thank you Steiner for continuing to submit it every week. This song at least does some interesting stuff, though. That breakdown at 2:43 legit sounds like it's straight out of Double Dragon, which is cool. The 6/8 part that follows is reminiscent of Zelda.

Marmozets - Vibetech
I kinda like the crazy, chaotic instrumental, and when it goes into half-time at 2:03. I also like the intense, building vocals when they first come in. I do not like full-out screamo, which it unfortunately breaks into at 1:33, though it is interesting to hear a chick having a go at it. I like the comedic ending where they kept throwing in extra hits, as if they weren't sure when to stop, ha.

Whitesnake - Wine, Women, an' Song
Wow, alcohol, women, and music - what interesting material for song lyrics >_> when the song kicks into full gear at 0:41 it's alright, but the subject matter of the lyrics is completely pointless and uninteresting. I get a little irritated by songs that have nothing to say, unless they're insanely good instrumentally or have a great vocal melody.

Autechre - V-PROC
It was close between this and Mycro's for most droning and obnoxious. I do like that it starts with a march rhythm. At least it has a decent drumbeat drop in eventually. Still though, unnecessarily long without becoming any more interesting past the halfway mark.

I got together with her and stayed with her for nearly six months, even going as far as to tell her that I love her, mostly because she let me play Diablo 2 every day at her house.

her computer got a virus that was probably my fault and i dumped her

I didn't consider it very scary, but it is pretty fucked up. I wonder if the artist feels we are actually at the mercy of a malevolent god - one who doesn't mind us stewing in destruction and suffering, sometimes taking part in it - or if it's just a commentary on how destructive we are as people, or if there's any point to it at all.

it's weird to me to pick college teams a la carte to root for. with pro teams it's kinda different but with college you can be enrolled in the school which would give you a bit of a right to say "we".

Everything in 10 Cloverfield Lane is crafted to make you feel certain ways and to provoke actual thought and tenseness in each scene. Subtle and not-so-subtle things happen in the movie that make you constantly feel different ways.

The Conjuring was a really intense, fun thrill ride to see in theaters. It definitely had very diminished returns upon additional viewings, though. The sequel is arguably scarier, although the exorcism scene in the first is....fuck.

Yeah I've heard Girl Next Door is pretty fucked up, I want to check it out. I agree Audition is good, but I think Dead Silence is pretty good as well, for what it is. Kinda campy but definitely above average. Don't really know anything about Loved Ones.

The Clown Doll is perhaps the most well-known scene from the original Poltergeist, rivaling "They're here" and featured heavily in the marketing push for the remake.

Danny Brown - Monopoly
If you're going for like a hardcore distrack, the line between good and cringe is extremely thin, and this one's...pretty cringe in parts. There's also no attempt at any kind of melodic....anything. The one looped sample is obnoxious. I do like the line insinuating that whoever he's rapping at would have succumbed to suicide had they experienced the same stuff he has.
