I love me some Sam Smith. <3

Requiem For A Dream by Clint Mansell

[Mag Lev]

@Altered Tundra 6/10
Great song and very fitting for certain scenes but it is not one I would listen to often.

The Eden Project - Crazy in Love Feat. Leah Kelly

Make sure to read the quote in the description.

@Mag Lev 8/10
This was quite the interesting cover of the Beyoncè classic. I admit I really liked it. This gave me vibes of Boyce Avenue. Definitely something I could see myself listening to over and over again quite obsessively.

My Heart Will Go On (Celine Dion Cover) by Nick Pitera

[Heat]

@Altered Tundra 6/10, that guy's voice is ridiculous if it's real. Sounds like a woman singing. Just a solid rating for how crazy that voice is even if I can't stand that song.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Heat 8/10 - nice beat, love his voice and amazing lyrics.

My zero fucks given song of the day, lol

[Mag Lev]

@Lady Amalthea 10/10, great parody mate. Connect's with one's soul

[AlteredTundra]

@Heat It's probably hard to believe, but that is his real voice. From the lower registers to the higher, female-sounding levels. The guy is crazy good at doing both the male and female voices. If you want a good example, you should check out his cover of A Whole New World from Disney's Aladdin.

@Lady Amalthea 10/10 just for the fact that I totally relate to it. XD It had me bursting into laughter by end of the first verse. A great find. :D

Wicked Game(Chris Issak cover) by Stone Sour

[Hjalti]

@Altered Tundra

8/10. Prefer the original but Corey still fucking nailed it.

[Lady Absinthia]

@Hjalti 10/10 - I know this pain!

For all those that just finished finals -

[Heat]

@Lady Amalthea Not a college student so I can't really relate, but it was pretty funny and she has a nice voice. 7/10.

[Hjalti]

@Heat 8/10 Funny to think that almost all early and even contemporary metal bands credit Black Sabbath as one of their major influences when you consider how tame they are by todays standards. Black Sabbath seems about as metal as Queens of the Stone Age these days!

Case in point: Even video game soundtracks seem heavier now.

[Exit]

@HjaltiOdd start for sure.... but after a minute of having to listen to creepy crawlies in my ear, the music kicked in and yeah, it was quite an enjoyable ride. This kind of song does a good job of hitting that one musical itch I need that's hard to reach only because it borders metal? which is at the opposite end of the spectrum of music that I typically enjoy. Fast and heavy throughout. I can imagine this working well with intense action sequences in a film or game.

7.5/10

It's good but I wouldn't listen to it more than once unless I'd need some specific inspiration for writing.

Song:
What So Not - Death Drive (feat. KLP)

[Heat]

@Exit It's okay, I'm not huge into dubstep. 6/10.

[dividesbyzero]

@Heat wow huh not sure I've ever heard acoustic Manson before. Not a huge fan of him to begin with, but his stuff always has it's own distinct voice and I respect his consistency in that sense even if I don't dig his music, but here I just don't get that "Marilyn Manson" vibe. Idk maybe I'm just not listening hard enough... 3/10

[AlteredTundra]

@dividesbyzero
Meh, not really my cup of tea. 2/10

Problem by Natalia Kills

[dividesbyzero]

@Altered Tundra oh hey that was a lot of fun. Super dancey electropop with a little noise and an edge. I dig. 7/10

[Pfroggy1]

Confused with the random chitchat at the beginning, but the smooth jazz bits made the song enjoyable. Though I don't understand Spanish, it has a nice instrument section, and the guy sounds great. 8/10

[Heat]

@Pfroggy1 10/10, I love Bowie. That's probably my favorite song of his behind Fame or Moonage Daydream.

@Pfroggy1

It's Portuguese actually. I think the chitchat at the beginning was just him getting his band to get their shit together ("no not like that!" "Take 2!") or something like that. Glad you like :)

@Heat really neat Americana/Country tune with some pretty damn dark tones and subtext (which I'm all about). Almost like Murder Ballads era Nick Cave meets 16 Horsepower. Good stuff. 7/10
