KCF - Shawn Lee - Vendetta Jocks
Kind of breakbeat-y. It's undeveloped, like a lot of VGM, and I can't come up with a strong opinion on it one way or the other.
Chrono - Protest the Hero - Spoils
I should hate this but I don't. The screaming is a little much, though. Neat little faux-neoclassical piano bit at the end.
Vince - The Walkmen - Angela Surf City
I agree with the comment on the intensity. It's definitely driving. Reminds me of Arcade Fire and Interpol and the Arctic Monkeys and the Kaiser Chiefs without really having any of the defining traits of any of them.
Cokes - Neko Case - Hold On, Hold On
Man, I wish more country sounded like this.
Whakko - Tove Stryke - Chaos
This song is titled "Chaos"? Why? It's an orderly, boring pop song.
Not Dave - Ben Howard - The Wolves
Not Dave's songs are getting less and less interesting every week I hear them.
JC - Skylar Grey - Love The Way You Lie
I've heard the Rihanna cover, and this isn't all that different from that. It reminds me too much of Taylor Swift and that song by The Answer from last week. I feel like I've heard it many times before.
Bartz - Lamb - Gabriel
The vocals remind me of Adele and feel insincere, and the beat's uninteresting.
