let's try this...
I editted in a better quality link
You know I've seen a lot of hype for Burst from people who usually like stuff I do, but I've always remembered not caring for them. Let's see if this changes my mind. Okay so...the harsh vocals are not doing it for me, they stand out way too much against the softer music, and not in the good way, more the "seriously bro?" way. The more energetic sections make it work a bit more though. I don't know, I guess I can see why people would like it but it's not my cup of tea.

E: Okay I really only posted that because of the track title it's not really all that metal
Man for some reason the sounds of the drums here is really standing out to me. I do not know at all why. Anyway, not really all that metal indeed but it's kind of amusing, albeit very...unfocused.

Iron Maiden - Running Free
Figures that when I get some Di'Anno Maiden posted, it would be a song that doesn't stand out much. I think the main problem is...kind of ironic given how much I've chewed songs out for trying to do too much...it's just way too basic. Pretty much just a very simple riff and drum pattern with a chorus that takes up a large portion of the overall play time and isn't even all that different or varied. It's fun stuff, but it feels like someone took the first verse of a song and decided to make it the entire song.

Megadeth - Washington is Next!
This intro, man. Remember when Megadeth played aggressive, energetic thrash? Yeah I'm definitely in the "Megadeth ceased to exist somewhere after 1990" camp, although they did not decay NEARLY as bad as Metallica and compared to how some other legendary bands like Queensryche and Morbid Angel have utterly disgraced themselves in recent years, it's hard to get too angry at Mustaine for simply being duller than he used to be (could get angry at him for his political views perhaps, but that's a little outside the realm of this topic). I could start talking about the song but I've come this far without it, so why change when I've got a good thing going? In all seriousness, you can piece together what I think already - it's a bit dull but not unpleasant, and does occasionally show some signs that the guy who gave us Rust in Peace and Peace Sells is still in there somewhere.

Sister - Werewolves on Blackstreet
Is the idea of this video to try to show the dumbest looking musicians in metal history? That's a very, very tall order, so kudos to shooting for the skies! Maybe it changes at some point, I stopped looking so I could type stuff. As far the music goes, it's kind of catchy, although I don't like the chorus a lot and...hey, a guitar solo that started bad but ended up kind of fitting? I'm impressed. Overall this has catchiness going for it and basically nothing else, which isn't enough to earn a high score, but it does spare it from earning my undying hate.
3.5/10
