The main interest of Mithras' drums is the drummer is an absolute maniac. That's all live, not retracked. The drums are just tripping over themselves at hyperspeed, but there's also a lot of actual technique in them, it's not raw velocity with no sense of timekeeping.
Admittedly, though, the guitar does fuck. Also, the vocalist's more hardcore-roar vocals are a big bonus -- as much as I like harsh vocals, I tend to prefer when it's dialed back some.199-member plural system. We kinda exploded. We'll sign if we switch, but it's a host-centric setup round here now.

Should’ve gone with Blink instead huh.
I listened to that song exclusively for this contest thinking that the lack of drums at times was more interesting than the drums themselves-

TWO INVISIBLE CATS HAVE CHOSEN TO REVEAL THEMSELVES THIS DAY!
:MUSIC THAT MAKES ME SHIT1.1 pts/ 1.0pts / 0.9pts
about a month before i started really writing up the walrus opening post, i wrote at the top of my list of potential invisible cats "MUSIC THAT MAKES ME SHIT". and by the time i started i kinda forgot exactly what i meant by that. i'll choose to leave it similarly ambiguous here.
:songs my cat would like0.5 pts/ 0.7 pts / 0.4 pts / 0.6 pts
obligatory
other notes:- i decided that i'd give some sort of medium-low amount of points for extra invisible cats once i run out of scripted points. what i did here is i gave the final 0.8 points to the first and best one i noticed which is biancospino's the hypocrisyto mushshagana'sworlds beyond the veilwhich i would recommend trying out if you have a way to listen to them smoothly back to back. and then i handed out 0.4 to the rest of them
- the next grand slam is gonna be worth -0.9 points, and so i'm reaping the benefits of how absurd that idea was now. another thing is that it kind of fails to make things more exciting because it means that it's like harder for someone else to have a sudden breakout placing that moves them up the leaderboard. lol

ok i remembered i'm going to riot fest on the 16th and 17th. lol. i thought about sticking with this plan anyway and just going to the festival later in the day but literally the single band that i'm most interested in seeing on the whole weekend is probably playing at exactly 2pm on sunday. i'll let you know how they are. anyway let's say i'll aim to do cat 8 on like the thursday or friday of that week? and then say fuck it and do cat 1 on a sunday which would be the 24th. bc i dont wanna fart around for another extra week. how does that sound...In post 245, schadd_ wrote: after that i'll take another extra week of intermission (wow i already did this twice... imbarrassing...) and then plan to close out with cat 2 and 8 and 1 WITHOUT more delay. i'll plan to do cat 8 on a sunday which would end up being the 17th of september, and that would want to be earlier in the day so as not to be too punishing for europeans that are staying up for it.-

Just realized what's up next. Oh boy, I'm either going to be getting the historical lowest-ever schadd_rus score, or getting gold. I've safely hung in "mediocre" territory so far, but this is not going to be more of the same.199-member plural system. We kinda exploded. We'll sign if we switch, but it's a host-centric setup round here now.

It should be a pretty entertaining cat. I feel mine will perform very well in catfit and very poorly in enjoyment."Half of the game is figuring out who the scum is. The other half is convincing everyone else that you're right." -- PlaysWithSquirrels, in Newbie 437-

yah from my very limited knowledge of both Chinese music scenes and the Mandarin language there's (or at least there was) a pretty big Chinese post-punk scene and a lot of them cover topics about the anxieties of the youths in like the 90s and 00s I think a lot of it cuz (also from my limited knowledge of Chinese history) there was a lot of disconnect between generations of people coming into adulthood in an era of social changes with complexity that I'm not at all equipped to understandIn post 251, schadd_ wrote: this seems to be in mandarin - i always wonder about languages with a tonal inflection how that comes across in music where you don't get to do it, especially in this song that has the sound of a western "post-punk" sort of vocal style where if there's tonal inflection in it i don't notice it
also I chose the song cuz I like a bunch of songs with wacky crazy drumming and I thought it might be neat to instead use a song with simple but very solid drummingInvisibility is actually AWESOME!-

here are my catfits for the song "wuthering heights" by kate bush
inscrutable- 1 (i guess this is still seriously impressive for how much i've scruted it)
paired vocalists- 1.8 (this is really all for that moment where the guitar picks up the vocal line of the chorus in the end, plus a small amount for heathclef acting as a silent paired vocalist throughout the song)
cat images- 2.5 (rightcat is mashing its face up against the windo o ow)
vivid place- 2.5 (emily bronte doing an unbelievable amount of cheating here)
drums- 1.2
tired- 2
wandering- 3
space- 1.8 (like a "wide open space"?)
avatars- 2
piano- 3 and beyond
makes us smile- 0.2 (the way that ive made thousands of facial expressions to this song and none of them are smiling)
novel musicianship- 3 (it being based on a novel is doing maybe 0.2 points worth of the work here)
multiemotional- 3 and beyond
synchronized swimming- 2 (i imagine the swimmers stretching their arms out beyond the edge of the pool)
forgiveness- 2.8
i decided to leave out the remaining cats for this walrus just in case someone submitted wuthering heights to them-

ok sooooo cat 2 is getting revealed this sunday at 2pm. (expired on 2023-09-10 14:00:00). i guess this is gonna have a bunch of content warnings which i plan to say aloud and also post along with the songs. i'm also planning to reveal this in a bizarre order that i might bizarrely call "shotgun order" where i spread out the top 4 submissions across the rest of the songs.
cat 8 is gonna be the thursday a week from tomorrow at 7pm. this one is gonna take bonus time to reveal because like 40% of the submissions contain two songs. also i might have to awesomely cancel it and maybe absurdly do it the next monday or something.
cat 1 is going to be the sunday that is uhh after all that. probably at 2pm. i will be revealing these songs in the order i listened to them.-

these all happen to be non-saturday days which is no longer out of an interest of spreading out the days or whatever and is just because that happens to be convenient for me-
