Ouch

Oh, all right, makes sense. Though I believe he never said that the lists were adjustable, that would be a plausible idea once he finishes his lists. And I used quotes from various album reviews if that's okay for now. I would want to make my own opinions and assumptions on why albums I want added are deemed to be "great albums," but it takes a lot more than just saying that something sounds pretty, and it also takes a lot of knowledge on the band history and it's supposed genre. Doing that much is what the work is about in discussing. :P

I am now barely realizing that these lists haven't covered any metal albums at all... No offense, but if you're gonna talk about great albums of at least almost all genre spectrums through the years, you have to acknowledge some metal somewhere... :/

Albums I would of wanted to be on the lists:

It's f***en beautiful. PERIOD.

PM PM PM PM MEEEEEEEEEEE

Hoping mine gets review sometime around. It's been more than a few days... Sigh.

Still frustratingly waiting for a review...

I'd go with Lou Reed (Solo and with the Velvet Underground). He can basically write about anything, and he's a poet and writer. I can only think of The HAARP Machine as of now as another band that has interesting and provacative lyrics.

I'm surprised there is no mentions of Electric Light Orchestra (Time, Out of the Blue), Adam Ant (solo or the Adam and the Ants releases), Buckner & Garcia (creating the first album with video game effects), Aphrodite's Child (their 666 album), Oingo Boingo, nor any Rainbow for that matter. Where did that go?

Still waiting for my partner to post their review of my mix tape. Hopefully it will be soon.

The Velvet Underground & Nico and everything this band has created is so amazing. I'm glad that they are never left out on any list of greatest albums/bands ever. I love them :heart::heart::heart::heart:

I felt a bit discouraged to listen to it all since it was all one track. Took a bit of time to place the start time and end time of each song, but I got it down in the end. I very much liked the second half better than the first half though. MIX TAPE REVIEW 01. 0:00-4:44 The intro was a good start, very ambient and electronic layered on with the drums. I liked the vocals in general, though not that great to me. The guitar wobbles remind me of an old song I listened to but don't remember. Overall, I like the atmosphere it builds up but song had a general awkward feeling to it. 02. 4:45-9:20 The strings were very Asian like in melody and very sensual, very sexy. The humming was so gentle and sweet, very motherly. The distorted male voice speaking Spanish was an interesting add on to this song, giving such a strange and positive feel. It felt like a song to dream and sleep to. "Cuando el sol cambia so color" How is that not strange and mystical? Loved it. 03. 9:22-13:50 The change in beat and genre was un-expecting but I loved the guitar delay and reverb I believe. It sounds a bit like garage rock and a bit experimental. The vocalist keeps the song in it's steady mood. What impressed me was the way the bass counterpoints the guitar on 12:48. It was a good song. 04. 13:51-18:30 I have a thing for piano songs heheh. This time, it's more tender and ambient, a bit neoclassical. Sounds a bit raw in sound. I felt surprised by the mode it transtitions from slow to fast and I felt like it was going to build up. In general, this song was sweet, but can feel dark and ominous, doubtful at times (I'm speaking of the mood of the song). I would love to know who this is. Reminded me of "Fjögur Píanó" by Sigur Rós. 05. 18:37-24:23 Nothing much to say about this song rather than it has a Beach Boys feel to it, a bit 60's influenced I guess. A lot of reverb and calm vocals; makes it seem like I'm in a dream, so it achieves its psychedelic side it seems to offer. It feels like a slowed song the Crystal Stilts would do. 06. 24:26-27:25 I definitely loved the guitar intro and smooth drum playing. I liked the use of distortion on the vocals and it matches the muffled sound of the guitar. I feel like her voice is reversed on some parts, am I right? I was surprised the song ended so abruptly though. Felt out of place like that. But, ignoring that I enjoyed the psychedelic feel. 07. 27:26-31:53 I favored the buzz of the guitar and that wonderful snare play as it slowed down to the real song. I feel like the guitar is the main focus of the song though the bass does get its attention. The atmosphere felt empty until I took a second listen. It feels like it was recorded before the 2000's but the vocals sound like Franz Ferdinand. I admired the drum solo at the end. 08. 31:54:-35:52 The intro was so spacey and reminds me of "The Great Gig in the Sky" by Pink Floyd. I preferred the suspense it showed and the chanting felt a lot like the vocals from Alt-J. Really imaginative song. I also felt like the piano reminded me a bit from the artist 36. Overall, nothing much to say but a nice interlude. 09. 35:53-38:21 I am certain this song was before the 2000's! :laugh3: This was so dreamy and mystical especially with the lyrics:"...strange effect on me, and I like it/ this feeling is love." This song too ends pretty abruptly like the sixth song, which is sad. It felt a bit like The Mamas and the Papas band to me. I liked the feel of the song. That much I can say. 10. 38:23-41:15 The vocals sound like Jimmy Hendrix. I hope I didn't mistake him for someone else. :embarrassed: This song is smooth and I like the funky texture of the song. I dig the lyrics and the blues feel it portrays. Sounds like I was going down a trip down older music. Let's see the next song. 11. 41:21-47:51 So very funky. Sounds like a bit of Honeycut, which is what the vocals remind me a lot. It's very catchy and I love it. ;) Later in the song, it also begins to remind me of The Sugarman 3. The bass is cherry and rad. I caught the "I was lost and now I'm found", thinking it sounded like they wanted to add a bit of "Amazing Grace" on here. Heh. Very good song. 12. 47:55-52:40 Man, this mix tape has gotten funker by the minute I'm scared now :cool:. This song was such a favorite! I wanna know who this is. The funk it dealt at the beginning along with the electronics was excellent. The rapping is very upbeat. I admire how this song gets a bit experimental towards the end of the song. The layering is fantastic and beautiful. Well done pick of a song. 13. 52:41-58:03 So far, this mix tape has been treating me well, though I feel like it has been sticking to a certain genre. The intro to the guitar is impressing and even more with the distortion. It's slow and paced and it reminded me of Tool, the style they do. I did not expect female vocals though but I like it. It has good drumming and that keeps the song very strong. Furthermore, the song was like a roller coaster of fast and slow, fast and slow. This is also a favorite on the mix tape. 14. 58:08-1:02:54 Sweet heavens, that intro! :dozey: The bass and guitar really show that avant garde, and it's so rad! I wanna know who this is. Really. This is really good. This song is very fast-paced and has an in-your-face attitude. The vocals remind me of the male vocals from Granville (a French band), and I really feel the garage rock this song slides against. The lead guitar was reminiscent of The Velvet Underground, with the small distortion it displays. A very crazy song and very fitting to the funk and experimental music this mix tape offers so far. 15. 1:02:57-1:15:32 This feels like a huge ride back to the music of the 60's and 70's. I favor the low tones of the song juxtaposed to the loud-ish drumming. The song gives the current theme of this last half of the mix tape, going slow and them fast and again. I feel like this reminds me a bit of Mutemath. This is very calm and soft. The vocals as it starts really accompany that feel, and I like the psychedelic tone this song has. This was surprisingly a long song, very progressive rock. Would like to know the artist to this one. 16. 1:15:33-1:20:04 Finally the last song :P I kid. I loved this mix tape. This song has to be my literal favorite as it is filled with a lot of soul and the vocals, very dominant, have a lot of passion to match that. The electronics are a nice layer, very climactic. The tone makes me feel very loose and considerate to what the guy has to say, and I would listen to this song all day. The guitar in the end feels very sweet and undisturbed as it has its way to complete the song. This is a nice way to end the mix tape. Overall: Such a great mixtape though I still have no idea where the direction was supposed to be at. Very good ambiance at the first half and a lot of funk and soul at the last half. Can't wait to hear who the artists are. Cheers! :D

To the one who gave me his/her mixtape, gonna take a bit to review it since it's all smooched together into one song. Taking my time to take notes of my reactions and then listen to it whole without disturbance. I like it so far.

I hate it when I find out new artists that sound amazing and I end up being tempted to change my mixtape so I can share the new artist I liked. Anyone else have this dilemma a bit?

My mixtape is done! Hope my partner will like it. Hint: Made it personal so I hope you enjoy placing pieces of my life together ^ ^.

http://www.last.fm/user/SheppyPanic Barely created this for my mixtape partner (if he/she uses last.fm) with all the bands I listen to. Hope it helps you have an idea of my tastes.

I'm pretty sure this next one will likely be a revolution, and if it is, what revolution will it be?

Right? It's been a recent trend to just digitalize b-side singles or not even have b-sides at all. I hate it too cause I expected b-sides from Muse too.

Sign me up too!

Summer Mixtape Exchange! Yay! hmmm.... when does it start? :P

I say Swallowed in the Sea and Princess of China

Man, every song off the album is just amazing :bliss: Every song except "Var". :shifty: Being the only song with piano, I expected a bit more from it but it just ends so disconnected from the rest of the album. It doesn't sound too bad when including the bonus tracks after but... I don't know. "Var" felt choppy and out of place...

http://kat.ph/sigur-ros-kveikur-mp3-320-2013-trfkad-t7500981.html Torrent. edit: nevermind. horrible quality. Every other download seems to have that horrible quality sound with so much buzz and yet the voice sounds normal... edit: http://freakshare.com/files/9v26thfs/Sigur_Rs-Kveikur-2013.zip.html Good enough.

I say early July.

I love the Aeroplane album so much. :)
