@Imaginary Excellent song. I always liked Audioslave. They were one of the best supergroups IMO, along with Velvet Revolver. Such a shame they don't make music together anymore. The video's cool too. Tom Morello rules!!!

I'll give this one a 9/10.



Rest in peace Layne Staley!

@LPFan Good song. I like the majority of it. 7/10

I liked the calming instrumentals and emotion, but I wasn't too fond of the guy's voice. That said, I can definitely see myself listening to this song while I'm trying to relax.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Opening Song 4: Period by Chemistry

[Pfroggy1]

I think this is an interesting theme. I wouldn't pick a hard rock sound for a tv show personally, but from what I understand about the show its a good choice. I'd give this an 8/10 mainly because i kinda wish I knew what he was saying and a hard rock sound doesn't really fit a TV theme. (Though I do love hard rock/classic metal)

I'm an old soul music wise. The "Well I remember" line is probably one of my favorite vocal effects in music.

@Pfroggy1 10/10 Absolutely love this song. I haven't heard it in a long while, but man you just brought me back ways.

Never Meant To Belong - Shiro Sagisu - Bleach Original Soundtrack 1

[WildCobra]

@Altered Tundra I say 7/10 pretty cool to think back on watching the series then actually listen to one of the tracks.

@WildCobra 7/10
I really liked the sensual, sexual feel I got from this song. I feel like it would be one of those songs to play during a very seductive scene on some movie or tv show. I also really liked the background noise. I think paired with the vocals, it was a solid song. The last minute of it kind of threw me off. I felt around the 3:30 mark it could have ended, but that's just me. Overall, a great song.

[Shohmyoh]

@Altered Tundra 5/10. I'm not a big fan of nerdcore honestly. But I did like the beat, it did a good job of evoking a dreamlike sensation. And the Sarah Mclachlan reference gave me a chuckle.

[Gurren1]

@Shohmyoh Made me fell uneasy but honesty liked it 7/10 reminds me of something that would play in some boss fight.

@Gurren1 I liked it some of the lyric seemed to have gotten drowned out here and there but that being said I could easily put this on a loop and listen and chill for a few hours really good song 9/10

Ugh, yes. Hugh Laurie is an all around amazing person. Thank you for reminding me. The song itself is a great blues tune - could see it in a Bond-inspired something. It's quite a nice listen.

[Exit]

@corneredbliss 8/10

A very nice and at times gentle song. Scored it low at first only because at times it seems a little too sporadic and I personally can't stand to listen to that kind of music. If it doesn't keep a constant beat or flow I feel like I'm just bumping into things... everything. Tripping over my toes and falling on my face and scrambling to find my feet again. It's not like that throughout of course but when it is, it's noticeable.

Then I kept playing it and it started to grow on me so I bumped it up to an 8. Starts off great and has a vague Nujabes feel to it that I love. Almost dreamy but keeps me from slipping into the surreal with it's sudden stop and goes.

[Mr_pink]

5/10 It's just really not my kind of music.

[MachineSoul]

@Mr_pink Nice, groovy tune going on there! The rhythm is accelerated, but not uncomfortably so, the saxophones are killing it (the good way); maybe a bit of wah-wah effect on a guitar track would add to the happy-go-lucky mood without cluttering the song. The only thing that I dislike about it is the vocals, to me it sounds a bit off-key (or maybe I'm not accustomed to this musical style and genre). A good stress reliever in my opinion, it would work pretty well on a long car ride since it's not distracting, but you won't completely ignore it either; you'll realize you're tapping to the rhythm by the time the song ends.

My rating: 8-10

[Exit]

@MachineSoul So thirty seconds into the song my score jumped from below average to a solid eight. This music hearkens back to my time growing up in the nineties when songs similar to this where everywhere and it was literally all I ever listened too. Even if I've never heard this song before it feels oddly nostalgic which is always a good thing (and bad thing).

At the two minute mark though, the sudden cut into screamo, as short as it was, threw me off. That particular genre never jived with me all too well and because of this I dropped the score down to seven. Screamo's return at around four minutes into the song and it's persistence cemented that score. This of course is completely a personal preference.

7/10

[Shohmyoh]

@Exit The beginning reminds me a little of Imogen Heap for some reason. I really like the soft percussion that kinda dances around in my headphones. The singer has a nice voice and the slight echo adds to the surreality I think they're going for. The song does a good job of slowly adding new elements without sounding too crowded. The shift in tone at 2:00 kinda threw me off but it didn't last long. Never heard of these guys before but I'm impressed. 8/10

[OfficerHeadbutt]

7/10 I liked the jazzy music, and they way it sped up and slowed down. The guys got a good flow but I struggled to understand what he was saying.

I found out the other day the drummer from my favourite band (Coheed And Cambria) raps as a side project, so here's one of his.

[Loksfjoer]

@OfficerHeadbuttI'm probably the wrong person to rate this, because I just don't like rap music >_< I'll give it a neutral 5/10

this one is a Dutch song, so it's probably not for everyone.
