Write-Up: First of all, I had a hard time getting into the beat here since the vocals are so distracting. It almost sounds like neither go together tbh. The band has a fair following and this seems to be a favorite but I'm not seeing what is so thrilling about this tune at all. I'm no expert on Metalcore but I would guess that this is quite mediocre compared to most. I don't know if this song tells a story or is just meant to be noise but the smallest hurdle a song has to jump for me to have an interest is a basic melody. I can't find one here anywhere. The weirdest thing here though is that I like a couple of the drum beats and I wasn't annoyed after having listened to this several times. Is Metalcore starting to grow on me? ====================================
==================================== [11th Place] { 1,237th Place } [70's][ 244th Place] Song: "Cities On Flame With Rock And Roll" Band: Blue Oyster Cult Album: Blue Oyster Cult ---{ 1972 }--- Genre: Hard Rock Score:[5.2][4.2][5.1][1.3][2.1][1.1][2.2] = [21.2] = [3.028] Video:
Write-Up: Here is some classic Hard Rock and the 2nd tune from Blue Oyster Cult to appear in the ranking. Is this the closest you could get to Metalcore or something Bane? Had it not been invented in the 70's yet? (Just looked that up btw and nope it hadn't been) Anyway, this was in Guitar Hero III and probably one of the least played songs for me there. I guess it's speculated that his song was inspired by a Black Sabbath song. After listening closely I can kinda see that. ====================================
==================================== [10th Place] { 1,234th Place } [90's][ 248th Place] Song: "Liberation Frequency" Band: Refused Album: The Shape Of Punk To Come ---{ 1998 }--- Genre: Hardcore Punk Score:[3.3][1.1][3.2][0.3][3.2][4.1][6.2] = [21.4] = [3.057] Video:
Write-Up: This song sounds like an identity crisis. That hardcore came out of nowhere and I wasn't expecting it at all after the intro. The song isn't exactly terrible but it's not exactly great either imo. I'm not so sure about the back and forth from the ska punk to the hardcore though. It seems that the song should be one or the another if it were to be improved imo. Never heard this band before now though. ====================================
