https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXwYJyrKK5A 95/100 An early 2010s bonafide classic for sure. Takes me back to high school! Expertly blurs the line between that post-punk revival sound of the Killers/Franz Ferdinand and just the grooviest dance-pop imaginable. The guitar lines are just buttery perfection, and that hi-hat! Hell yeah! pyresword posted... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OixZKhcq1fQ 87/100 The strings are just beautifully touching. it's an emotionally-packed performance that relies on only just a few phrases but it works super well and I'm sure whatever scene this played over in the game was enhanced 1000 fold by it. Hbthebattle posted... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylU_0ldKErI 92/100 Really impressive how many moods the song goes through over the 9-minutes, from hard-hitting rock riffs to really soft, symphonic parts that accentuate the harder parts even more. It's fantastic and knows how to keep things interesting for that run time. scarletspeed7 posted... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOuI4OqJfQc 82/100 Smooth as hell, but that F minor key gives the song an undeniably dour mood that really accentuates the inner conflict of the song's protagonist. I love the sax on this track and the chord progression hits on just the right notes make it just that extra-bit spine-moving. Jesse_Custer posted... https://youtu.be/43YYye5y6xo 99/100 Densely layered, cascading synths propulsed by a four-on-the-floor drum beat with some seriously aching, thought-provoking vocals & lyrics. It's a perfect entry in that "danceable heartbreak" genre, like in that "let's dance to Joy Division" kind of way. It's that kind of thing that's not very easy to come to terms with, an oxymoron of music where some of the best art truly emerges from. --- It was Raccoon City's last chance and my last chance...

This is just so cool and creates such a mood, Candice's singing is excellent, soft & touching but she also keeps the tempo for a more party-like atmospere. And Blackmore's playing, I mean when is this man not on the top of his game? Bane_Of_Despair posted... eh you know what we'll go with a classic 93/100 Yeah it's fantastic.

And I doubt being a wrestling fan (or even a fan of Jake the Snake personally) would change things much. It's certainly not the type of song that tops the lists of most popular entrance themes, or most iconic, and it's probably not even considered the best theme for that specific wrestler--I recognize his original theme, but I certainly couldn't tell you when he switched to "Trust Me" or how long it was used for. It's just something I randomly stumbled on when listening to an album of old entrance themes a couple months ago and was instantly drawn to because of how different it sounded. --- PICARD IS SAD BECAUSE HE LOST.

Technically, on the album the intro is on a separate track, but it's really meant to be a part of the whole song. Anyways, I listen to a lot of aggressive metal, but I found the vibe on this song infectious and not cheesy at all. And exotic instruments are always fun. ... Copied to Clipboard!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAL4WMpBNs0 94/100 I love this song a lot. It takes what is a repetitive & grating loop constantly playing in the background into a heartfelt epilogue voiced by Monika herself, getting you into the mindset of her inner conflicts and why she did everything she did. Though the chord progression is simplistic, it's also emotionally raw and does good job at tugging on those heartstrings. Kira_Amaya posted... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-flCVYRmWz0 86/100 I really like the drumming on this song and the hooks are excellent.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpW5wXedcRg 62/100 I actually disagree with the last track assessment, some of my favorite songs are final tracks! Now to contradict that, this is song is decent and all but didn't really stick out to me as all too memorable. If it came up, I wouldn't skip it but it's not something I'd be dying to come back to. Jesse_Custer posted... https://youtu.be/OwavBFVfIKI 72/100 I could see this track going higher or lower depending on my mood. When all the instrumentation comes together there's a really awesome vibe to it but most of the time I feel it meanders waiting to get to something more engaging, and the song kind of just peters out. TheCodeisBosco posted... Awesome "Jack of Speed" write-up. I agree that the lyricism is especially strong on that one. 83/100 This is definitely my kind of jam and if I were ever in a really dour mood I would definitely play this song to help me through a little bit. The vocals are just excellent and the drumming carries the song along so nicely. LOLIAmAnAlt posted... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q3ub1SUYfg 64/100 I like the guy's vocals, except on the chorus. For some reason it doesn't really fit there for me. I heard a little phasing effect in the song which I enjoyed a lot. Otherwise, mostly straight-forward stuff, take it or leave it really. Great_Paul posted... https://youtu.be/LI_Oe-jtgdI?t=46 93/100 Hilariously witty, THE iconic con man song, full of arguments that rely on stretched assumptions and religious slogans that don't hold any true meaning. I particularly love when the full of chorus of people start to chime in, not only emphasizing the tune's meaning but also giving the song a whole new groove sonically as well. Murphiroth posted... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gsy5sJy5_34 76/100 Okay I like this but it's a little TOO close to RatM for me. However, I really love the use of Indian instrumentation, especially in the percussion section. Agent M posted... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7sDhn7-Z68 66/100 Jasmin was actually my favorite part of this. I do agree the instruments are good but I never really get into these sea shanty sort of metal songs too much. Sorry, I know I skipped some peeps here but I was working off Spotify for these.

The vocals are sort of reminiscent of Children of Bodom, so not everyone's cup of tea. It's another band that mixes in different instruments, in this case a koto I think? It sounds like an idea that would never work, but I think they executed it about as well as you could expect. The song just really hooked me, and I like the choir at the end. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Now I wouldn't say this is really that genre but it still scratches that same sort of itch for me. The violins are epic and jolting, and the piano is moving but at the same time momentum-driving and not downbeat. And Megumi's vocals are so crisp and clean.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nNVk92S-i0 64/100 I have the same problem with this as I do the prior M83 song, but I do like this a little bit better. It's a song whose synths really propel a great groove and momentum, and I do like the singer. But it doesn't stand out for me from its ilk. Furious Fura posted... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ukhZgsC4vc 84/100 I actually have not heard this before despite listening to some Krautrock in the past. Guess I never went that deep into it. Anyway, long songs like this are usually very hit or miss for me, and it's really hard to make a long song like this and keep it entertaining, but these guys certainly do it. I am not nearly proficient enough of a music critic to truly analyze this song and it's various sections but I certainly appreciate all the same. The playing from 10 minutes on is especially superb. Johnny Eagle posted... Tobymac - This Is Not A Test (Live) 82/100 This is actually hype as hell. Are these guys really that good live, because this sounded amazing. Just curious. Either way, I was into this from the awesome rap-rock guitar riffs to the really flowing lyrical style. And I love a good break up in the action with the female part. MetalmindStats posted... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnfyjwChuNU 100/100 Am I biased? Hell yes I'm biased. This is like THE song from my childhood. It's funky as all hell and the rapid fire verses filled with seeming nonsense still weird me out in the best way possible and make me smile to this very day. I like the juxtaposition between the chaotic verses and the melodic chorus, it gives such a great flow to the song. It's not even my favorite RHCP track or even that close tbh but that won't stop me giving it 100. handsomeboy2012 posted... https://youtu.be/fNUJMOO4nms 80/100 Bouncy and a little experimental too, I just have a lot of fun with this one.

The growling vocals definitely threw me for a loop and I actually would've liked if it was more interspersed throughout the song than it already was. LordoftheMorons posted... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlqEj3TcAEI 64/100 I love Sara a lot and this is proficiently very good, but the quality of this recording kind of kills it for me.

Agent M posted... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Bg-1zM1x-c 88/100 Luckily, I like CoB vocals so this was right up my alley. The leadwork is insane and the solo at around 3:25 was awesome, really well-played and catchy. The Eastern instrumentation fits the song perfectly and the choir at the end gives the song an epic feeling boost as if we reached the climax of a story.
