Machinedrum - Come1 - I want to say I like this as a step in the artsy direction for dubstep but there is a song titled "Now U Know Tha Deal 4 Real" on the sidebar. Come1 sets a dramatic pace and shows up with lush prouduction, angelic vocal abuse, bass...stuff. It might even be a minute too long but it never grates. 7/10
Rome - A Legacy Of Unrest - I listened to this at the grand canyon! I love the heavy drums, the whole "you try to blind me" bit in the second half is musically enthralling though I have no clue what the lyrics are. The whole family's a fan. A conglomerate. 9/10
Bobby Gentry - Seasons Come, Seasons Go - She didn't sound that special. I'd probably be more interested if there was a turn for the dramatic somewhere but the music and even lyrics convey a **** happens attitude towards late sixties unshaven sensual melodramatic romanticism over an anticlimactic sub-three minute pop fossil. 5/10
Kwoon - I Lived On The Moon - If you close your eyes this sounds exactly like Sigur Ros. But I would not know, seeing as how I kept my eyes open so as to constantly know that it wasn't. This was sufficiently pretty, almost on the simple side but I couldn't complain. Worst band name award, 6/10 song
Nightwish - Over The Hills And Far Away - I gave it a shot man but this **** is corny. Real life Skwisgaar on guitar? Gratuitous key change 90% of the way through the song? There's a warlock watching.them WHAT THE **** 2/10 two points for having a verse and a chorus
Incubus - Summer Romance - I do enjoy Incubus on the regular. Brandon Boyd's vocal talent is underrated and the songwriting is always intelligent. I would never consider this for an Incubus top five so I think its worth an 8/10.
