Song Contest 44 - Votes

[Parama]

Then I will enter my "somethine I really like" as a counter.
It will be a "something we really like"-off!

[Parama]

I was the first :3c

And if I can ever get some of my recently made stuff actually recorded and sounding good I'd gladly enter some of it.

Of course, the song I entered a year and a half ago was crap, but I'm pretty sure I'm better at music-making than I was back then <.<
And I have better tools, too... just not ones I can record with v_v

[Parama]

You didn't enter your own work, though.
Which is the point.

[Parama]

Plan: Listen to the songs immediately. Be first to post comments. Wait until 5 minutes before deadline to send in votes.

[Parama]

well the song I was planning to enter was a roughly 2 minute loop, and the version of it only looped once, so

[Parama]

got the new pain of salvation album in the mail today
now I can enter a song off it in SC50 :V

[Parama]

who the hell started that stupid thing anyways?

[Parama]

Johhog: There was no band entered for a second time in the 9th song contest (went and checked really quick because I'm weird like that)

just FYI

[Parama]

It got refused because they were in Battle of the Best, actually.

[Parama]

Battle of the Best = high scorers and winners from previous contests
You can't enter a band that was in Battle of the Best in another contest.

[Parama]

after SC21*
IIRC

[Parama]

I probably will :V
Unless he pulls a fail like last contest <.<

[Parama]

Post-grunge = Worst genre

I'll listen to post-grunge over klezmer anyday.

[Parama]

Yeah KK wtf is klezmer anyways?

[Parama]

Can we seriously keep monetary influences out of the contest please

Here's $100; make sure everyone's 12 goes to me. Even the people who don't vote.

[Parama]

I said 100? Dropped a 0 there. *sigh*

[Parama]

Oh. and don't forget the yelling at me.

[Parama]

who cares

[Parama]

Please tell me you're being sarcastic.

[Parama]

DH this is unacceptable

[Parama]

And I will never call you anything but DH.

[Parama]

Who's DH?

[Parama]

RABBI

[Parama]

I went to class, came back, ate lunch, and then posted since DH left.

Of course, he's back and working on the pics right now probably, but.

RABBIT

[Parama]

Sweet jesus mainstream city tree.
Uh... no, don't know what that means.
2 songs I don't even have to listen to, a few I'm dreading listening to, and then a ton of stuff I've never heard of.

[Parama]

a ton of stuff I've never heard of
I probably fall under the "a ton of stuff I've never heard of" category for everyone else though so s'ok.

EDIT: Oh yeah sorry for that video totally having crap audio. The only other video has an intro track tacked onto it and I am too lazy to upload myself so that's what you get.

[Parama]

I can play Carry on Wayward Son on reel gitarz <.<
Haven't played it in a while though.
Oh and yeah about that, thanks for getting the song name wrong. Wow.

[Parama]

The other two wouldn't have gotten points, but the jury's still out on the one you entered sooo.

[Parama]

I'm Sweden.

Surprised I haven't gotten any rage comments yet.

[Parama]

Repetitive: 2/2

[Parama]

THERE IS NO BETTER QUALITY

which is a shame

[Parama]

lol comparing Cloudkicker to In Flames

ortolan knows nothing about metal

[Parama]

rabble gives you wings

god that was terrible

[Parama]

guys I'm listening to sigur ros and what is this?

[Parama]

no I am asking about the thread
also yes
sigur ros is godtier
() is the best album
untitled 7 at the moment

[Parama]

Yep. Jury's still out on Takk, since I haven't listened to it enough to rank it with those two... don't want to listen to Von or whatever their most recent is, though. Heard neither are that great.

[Parama]

guys

guys

Haken's new album is incredible

you should totally check it out

might enter a track off it in a SC soon. Would like to enter the title track but nobody here wants to listen to 23 minutes of prog metal so I may have to go with something else.

[Parama]

my next contest entry

after like 5 seconds of yt searching

[Parama]

JDodge's new account, so you should listen to him.

[Parama]

JOKES FLY OVER MY HEAD

LIKE THE GODDAMN SUPERMAN

[Parama]

but we can't tell exactly what songs you're commenting on here :O

[Parama]

hmm

Heysatan may be Sigur Ros' best song

it is the most beautiful thing ever. ;_;

[Parama]

Panzer gave me points? Oh man.

[Parama]

Otolia I did not submit metal.

[Parama]

...it's not metalcore.
And it's not just straight "metal" either.
It's what happens when you take elements of djent and combine it with post-rock song structures. Oh I love it so.
Also I'mma listen to these today probably.

[Parama]

don't worry knight he thinks cloudkicker is metalcore so he obviously has little to no knowledge about any sort of genre thing.

[Parama]

*headdesk*

I'm not going to bother arguing with a brick wall. You're completely missing the point.

P-Edit: Or KK can just post that.
Also Otolia, your definition of metalcore covers pretty much EVERY metal band ever. And most metal bands aren't metalcore.

[Parama]

QUICK LET'S ALL COMMENT ON HOW MY ENTRY IS REPETITIVE

EVEN THOUGH - AND GET THIS - THAT'S KIND OF THE POINT!

[Parama]

Mali – I dunno, I liked it, but it didn’t really grab me that much either. (77/100)

Ireland – It was beautiful and stuff but well it didn’t have anything to make it stand out either. (68/100)

Macedonia – freaking quiet audio. Anyways song is okay I guess. But eh didn’t do much for me. (46/100)

Peru – oh hey pop rock. boring. (37/100)

Italy – your video loaded really slowly so I found another one. it really wasn’t worth my time though. (39/100)

France – Voice was very offputting, and the music was nothing special, but eh it was better than the last few so. (52/100)

Germany – nah (20/100)

Vatican City – stop cheating. I almost want to give this 0/100 for being TOO MAINSTREAM even for me, but then I probably won’t have enough stuff to give points to. So (83/100)

Denmark – It’s nice but it doesn’t justify being 9 minutes long… (65/100)

Chile – Eh, it was more interesting than a lot of the stuff so far, even though it was still nothing special. (72/100)

Palestine – I’m gonna sick of standard rock type stuff by the end of this contest, aren’t I? :/ (66/100)

Sweden – I expected most everyone to hate this, because most everyone completely misses the point and/or doesn’t like metal. I still think it’s brilliant, though the title track off this album is better. (and more even more repetitive, but.) (96/100)

Bhutan – why does it have such a stupid name? Anyways it was decent I guess, I felt it didn’t really work overall but eh. (63/100)

England – Really just seemed kinda plain to me… nothing about it stood out at all, either way. (50/100)

Turkey – …nah. Does nothing for me. I have nothing to say about this. (30/100)

Tristan da Cunha – Um, just take my points. Probably my 12 too. (95/100)

Switzerland – Y’know what, this is pretty cool. I like it and I don’t know why exactly. (85/100)

Scotland – oh hey this song. never really liked this one, so I really don’t like it now. (33/100)

Canada – you cheater. (92/100)

Israel – this song would be better if it was a bass solo. (71/100)

Belgium – no (0/100)

Brazil – sure (93/100)

Laos – Best rock song in this contest that isn’t from the 70’s, so. (87/100)

Swaziland – Y’know what, this is talent, but I am not really a fan of fancy piano concertos and whatnot. I prefer slower piano work <.< (64/100)

Guatemala – It’s a shame, because the music isn’t *terrible*, just generic… but, well, the vocals. Ear. Rape. (0/100)

Finland – I’m pissed that they’re wasting wonderful string instruments on THIS CRAP. (0/100)


...awful, awful contest.

[Parama]

*likes effect/white noise sections a lot and considers them a part of the song*

[Parama]

DH you know I'm gonna vote tonight <.<
I never miss voting. Discounting the one time I intentionally missed voting.

[Parama]

for anyone who liked Dysphoria

also
you can get literally all of his stuff free here: http://cloudkicker.bandcamp.com/
but honestly I really only like The Discovery... the rest of his stuff is a little meh to me.

[Parama]

>all instrumental metal must be solotastic

<.<

[Parama]

until Nico misses the deadline :V

(yeah I know he's not in this one but I gotta make a joke about it anyways)

[Parama]

actually y'know what all the haters should totally listen to The Discovery (the song) and then thank me for not entering that one, because anyone who disliked what I entered would HATE that one.

even if it is musical bliss

[Parama]

OH CRAP I MISSED THE DEADLINE

jk I voted yesterday

[Parama]

I won for once?
HALLELUJAH!

[Parama]

I didn't win.

WTF SPOILER ALERT

[Parama]

JDodge just got my points

[Parama]

[Parama]

I was in that contest and voted

[Parama]

Mali – so the lyrics suck. and the voices suck. and the music sucks. welp. (17/100)

[Parama]

[Parama]

[Parama]

[Parama]

[Parama]

Also the correct critique of my entry was "Stay a while and listen"

[Parama]

[Parama]

Diablo is a dark fantasy-themed action role-playing

as far as I read
mmk

[Parama]
