Write-Up: The beat is decent and vocals are ok. The first song to drop in the Punk genre (just Punk without any variation) that is. It could be the age in which the song was released but I couldn't find much of a following for this band. Maybe the real fans aren't too internet saavy? This isn't really a song that I would add to any playlist but I might not change the station if I happen to hear it on the radio. I did see this get classified somewhere as an "Oldies" song so that might back up the claim I make about it's fans not hanging around on the internet.lol ====================================
==================================== [8th Place] { 1,147th Place } [90's][ 235th Place] Song: "N.W.O." Band: Ministry Album: Psalm 69: The Way To Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs ---{ 1992 }--- Genre: Industrial Metal Score:[6.2][4.2][4.2][0.3][7.2][4.2][2.2] = [28.5] = [4.071] Video:
Write-Up: Lol. So I was completing the write-up for this song and noticed that I didn't have it tagged as a nomination but thought it sounded like something Snake would have nominated so I double checked and indeed I forgot to tag it as one of his nominations. I'm not the biggest fan of Industrial Metal but the right songs can make me feel like a diehard and unfortunately this isn't one of them. I think the name of the album here is kinda funny though. This song tanked on the charts.. but that isn't completely terrible I suppose as it did actually make it on the charts at least. ====================================
==================================== [7th Place] { 1,121st Place } [70's][ 202nd Place] Song: "Death Or Glory" Band: The Clash Album: London Calling ---{ 1979 }--- Genre: Punk Rock Score:[6.2][5.2][4.2][0.3][5.2][5.3][3.2] = [29.6] = [4.228] Video:
Write-Up: So after multiple listens I am decidedly fixed on the chorus here and the chorus alone. Although it isn't too deep lyrically it has a catchy ring to it. "Death or Gloryeee...". It's weird though because I have almost certainly heard of the band before but I was checking out some of their other work and I couldn't even find a song that I recognized. It doesn't appear that they received too much mainstream success but there is a dedicated following for the band. The song itself speaks about the previous generation of rock stars who were commonly quoted as swearing to die before aging so maybe the whole song is about aging? One critic claims that "this song features the best and most satisfying chord progression and melody the Clash ever came up with" but I wouldn't know if there was any truth to that. What are your thoughts on that Snake? ====================================
