Song Contest 146 (Results posted!)

[PJ.]

Oh hey, I won the one you liked the least. That's pretty cool.

[PJ.]

I should enter more sad foreign lady songs.

[PJ.]

I also think all my sad foreign lady songs are not musically ambitious enough for Parama, so that's a bonus.

[Vi]

I gave it my 3. God Module and E-dub weren't enough to salvage six atrocious crimes against decency at the bottom.

Idk if I consider anything to be a good or bad song contest. Usually find some songs I like and the rest is meh or ugh

[Plotinus]

my top ten:

9 Death Is Just A Feeling - Avantasia.mp3 - catchy
7.1 Fozzy - Judas - good
7 The Republic Of Wolves - 'Oarsman' - good
6.8 Blindspott - Nil by Mouth - good
6.5 Slash - World on Fire - good, sounds like 80's metal
6 Dogs were Barking - yay Russian
5.7 Devin Townsend - Why - boring
5.6 Four Year Strong 'It's Cool' - boring
5.5 Coheed and Cambria - The Crowing - mildly painful
4 Freakzwaltz - Necrodancer Repainted - painful but has a beat

It's great seeing 9 views on my song when 16 other people are in the contest.

I'm out.

Vote right at deadline.

This is absolutely true. It's pretty common for the majority of votes to come in the day of deadline.

[Vi]

(I on the other hand hate the hard limits to my freedom that come with being on deadline.)

Slash is good at guitar
This is a cool anime music video
3 metal entries in a row of metal I do not like, It's a big genre and I just find so little of it tolerable and my tolerable isn't everyone's tolerable. I basically like Metalcore/melodic death metal(i can't tell the difference tbh), Thrash and Power metal. Everything else is ass. Some sludge is cool but mostly is poop
DOGS WERE BARKING!!!MONKEYS CLAPPING!!!
I didn't know there were knock off Linkin Park bands.
Wrestling fan spotted. Identify yourself and explain to me why you didn't enter the Jericho entrance version from revolution. I like that this song is literally just about being a wrestling heel.
This was like 70 spots too loud when I turned it on and like..it might of worked for me.
I hope this lady really doesn't have this tattoo. Also the top comment was really funny.
I normally don't like Coheed after Second Stage Turbine Blade, but this is pretty decent. I might short this points tho because it's madly popular.
This song is probably fun to see live, too bad coronavirus is here to ruin going outside forever.
memeZ
Out of my zone
Oh shit, I liekd this game, this version is kinda ass tho
Still trying to figure out when he mixed it, cause he didn't mix it in the video. This is kind of a bad mash up tbh.

Lichtenstein - enjoyable to listen to
Iceland - very different - liked this - May listen more to this person if I remember
Djibouti - I already forgot what this sounded like so I guess I didn’t like it.
Hungary - enjoyed this
Trans whatever - least favorite song this contest. Strong no.
Costa Rica - liked this a lot. Very fun!
Niger - decent
Poland - meh
Greenland - ok
Sudan - liked the vocals a lot but didn’t like the mixing
Tanzania - hard to go wrong with coheed
USA - forgot this immediately so mediocre I guess
Asgardia - I found it annoying but my husband liked it and it’s from Twitch or something. He got a kick out of someone submitting it so I gave it a few points.
New Zealand - I wanted to like this more than I did.
Madagascar - I love babymetal. High points from me.
Chad - I liked this a lot. In fact gave it top points. It reminded me a lot of Turkey itself with the mix of traditional and new.

[Amrun]

Solid contest.

[Rhinox]

I didn't know Pittsburgh was so soft

Spoiler:

(2.5/10) Liechtenstein - Slash - I guess this guy is still doing the same thing as back in the 80s. Which is kind of respectable maybe. Anyway, this is very cheesy and bad.

(5/10) Iceland - Devin Townsend - This guy has like a very heavy metal voice but this is some decent music at least. Feels like something Muse would write. Dunno what its missing for me.

(3/10) Djibouti - The Dali - I mean this at least has a good chord progression for a metal song I'll give it that much. Other than that not much I can enjoy.

(4.5/10) Hungary - Siddharta - yeah this is okay. Like the guitar work.

(2.5/10) Transnistria - Avantasia - I guess this is what it would be like if a metal band did a musical. It's kind of boring tbh

COSTA RICA - GOGOL BORDELLO - I was thinking about submitting a more "metal" song of theirs but went with this. Really great fun band, they seem like they are amazing live. I tried looking up what language the rest of the song is in but it seems like its just bits of different slavic languages mashed together.

(2/10) Niger - Blindspott - god this is pretty edgy. Not in a fun way though

(2.5/10) Poland - Fozzy - Eh, wasn't really capturing my interest.

(4/10) Greenland - Worlves - This was pretty okay, not something I'd listen to again.

(8.5/10) Sudan - Lingua Ignota - This was great. Amazing vocals, very emotional, great progression. Love it.

(3/10) Tanzania - Coheed and Cambria - Didn't really do anything for me.

(2/10) USA - Four Year - Legitimately having a hard time distinguishing songs from each other at this point

(3/10) Asgardia - Iezbeepic - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

(1/10) Turkey - Eyes - Finally someone brought out the real metal

(2/10) New Zealand - Chimpanzilla - There's just way too much going on here and it is not mixed well.

(3/10) Madagascar - Babymetal - This is better than I remember this band being. Not by a lot though.

(6/10) Chad - My Analog Journal - The vocals don't seem mixed well at times and that can be a bit grating. Otherwise it's pretty cool. Psychedelic rock from old times yeah

I guess not that surprising that I didn't find a lot to like in a metal song contest

[schadd_]

(8.5/10) Sudan - Lingua Ignota

this makes me just as giddy now as the first time

This is true. All ballots will be accepted until the final results are up.

That said, I'm about to start working on this so expect the first batch of results in 5-10 minutes.
