The Song Review Thread!
 

I got this idea from other forums. What happens is someone will upload a song and the next user will give an unbiased review of what they thought of it. You may only a review a song if it's one you've never heard before.

Anyway, so I'll start off!

Zwei - 1 + 1 = 2

(Ignore this link, it doesn't work anymore. Teehehe)

Aww, no one wants to try this? =(. It's a good opportunity to try out other artists (unless everyone's heard this song from Zwei...)

-NOT REVIEWING-

I imagine people are not used to it.

Hm. I wonder if I should do this. XD Perhaps you should stick it in your signature to attract attention?

I wanna do it! But I've only heard that song a few thousand times by now. :laugh

Okay, so reviving this thread back from the dead. I decided to upload a less known song. See how this goes. (Btw, I remember the place I downloaded this from was very explicit on how things she uploaded were to be placed elsewhere, so I'll say I got this from shekimusic's livejournal. Just to make sure she won't get upset if she happened to find this uploaded.)

Sarina - Cyber Girl

If you're a fan of Nakata's works you may want to try this one. He collaborated with this artist as well.

Well, I guess this was a complete fail. -_-;;. So sad, it was a good idea too.

aww this is a good idea, but maybe it'll be better with videos, cause you have to download the songs and that take a long time..
Edit: well not a long time, just that people have to sit and wait till it finishes, then open in a media player...would be easier with videos~

Eh, dunno. You'd be more focused on the PV rather than the actual song to give it an appropriate review.

I would try it after you upload another song :P.

Err, you're supposed to download and review the song regardless of whether you know/like the artist in question or not. Unless you've already heard the song before then by all means, you don't have too.

Lol o_o Um I'll review the songs that you posted then XD. Since 1 + 1 = 2 doesn't work I'll just review Cyber girl XD.

Cyber Girl

Started out kinda pop then a violin/string instrument came out of nowhere. Then in the middle of the song the song changed then later on it went back to what it was like in the beginning. Overall the song was really good and the violin/string sound really good with the beat. I was kinda hoping for vocals but I guess not :(.

4/5

Lol my review sucked XD...so do I upload a song now?

Yep! =D!

Okay here is a really good song XD.

Aira Mitsuki - Colorful Tokyo Sounds NO. 9

Aira Mitsuki - Colorful Tokyo Sounds NO. 9

I don't usually like electronically themed songs because I find them a bit monotonous but this song was a pleasant surprise. There was enough deviation in the beat and the vocals to keep my interest captured, and it has a sort of relaxing tempo to it, kind of good for my frazzled brain. The chorus was catchy enough. Although, it did tend to drag at times, and I wished at times to hear the singer's actual vocals, but I guess it comes with the music genre. All in all, a very nice track.

3.5/5

Here's my upload:

cosmos - Hashiri Tsudzukete

If you like BeForU this is one of the more obscure song files from an album done by a few of their singers as a side project.

cosmos - Hashiri Tsudzukete

Started out very weird XD. Then the artistes voice are kinda weird too o_o, like ones high and one's voice is lower o_o. But nevertheless the song is not that bad XD. But the music in the backround sounds like its out of a RPG and the song sounds like an anime ending or opening.

3/5

Sorry for being so harsh XD.

Tokyo Jihen - Boutomin

Time for a hella weird song from me XD.

Nah, it's alright. Since we were supposed to give honest reviews. Haha.

Tokyo Jihen - Boutomin
I've actually heard of Tokyo Jihen/Shiina Ringo before but I've never listened to music. The song has some very relaxed vibes, reminds me of lounge music actually. I like the guy's laidback singing, but I really dislike the female's vocals. It's too nasal and screechy-ish to me. The background music/instrumental is really what makes this track shine though. The track grows on me over time, so not too bad.

3/5

Sorry for the low quality (>.<!) of the song. It's good enough to hear though (I think).

Kajiura Yuki - A Song of Storm and Fire

This song is taken from the OST of the anime Tsubasa Chronicles.

OMG I LOVE THAT SONG. :heart
XD

I can't review it, 'cause I've already heard it~ but here's a higher quality version if anyone's interested ^______^

Thanks so much! I was looking for a higher quality. Yay!

Lol, I wanted to give someone else a chance but I guess not o_o, Anyways on with the review

Kajiura Yuki - A Song of Storm and Fire

When I first heard it it sound really epic XD, I liked the opera singing and stuff and the arrangement was nice. It wouldn't be something I listen too though but its not bad :P.

4/5

Chara - Rainbow Gossip

Just wanna say, I absolutely LOVE the song by Aira Mitsuki! :) Anyway, on to my review:

Chara - Rainbow Gossip

It has a very ethnic feel at the beginning, it's really interesting, it makes me think of a rain forest. Then the beat comes in, and it sounds really... different. I don't know how to describe it, exactly. It sounds like some kind of tribal R&B, with synth. Also, the melody is very fun and nicely composed, and her voice is interesting when she hits higher notes. However, the end doesn't flow too well for me, the random horns just sound out of place.

Overall, 4/5. :)

Here's my song:
COLTEMONIKHA - Scene Killer
