Cormorant - Uneasy Lies the Head
Good thing you don't need a link for a guy from 235 to be able to hear Cormorant, got that covered on my own bases!
Anyway, the song. It's good. Loses points for being a little unfocused at times, the solo at just past the 2 minute mark in particular feels really out of place. So it's not the most coherent song ever, but at the same time it has good riffs and I do enjoy the vocals here, even if I think I like what I've heard from the upcoming album more (on that note, people should be seeking out info on the next Cormorant album, due out in early December, called Dwellings, two songs available so far are pretty great!). Not my favourite Cormorant track (that would be either Ronin or Junta) but a solid one, and damn this write up is bigger than I was going to do originally.

Crashdiet - Riot In Everyone
That list hurts me <_< Okay it's not that bad, I counted about 20 bands that are pretty good (and can already see where my own votes fell with Gorguts and Immolation), with Queensryche being a bit shaky in terms of whether I want to pretend their lengthy time of sucking balances out the excellence of Operation: Mindcrime (and Rage for Order to a lesser extent).
The song. Eh. Kind of catchy, nothing else really sticks out about it to me, and something about the vocals sounds strained in a way I don't like. This is hard to explain, because sometimes strained vocals end up sounding really genuine, sometimes they bug me, and I can't really define the difference. Energetic if nothing else, enjoyable to listen to overall.
