Now if you really didn't get the last post, maybe now you will. This song was introduced relatively early compared to the actual release of the game. I was a bit taken aback knowing that Skrillex was a major part of the making of this song. But you know, it really isn't all that bad. After all, it's not the headlining song for the game anyway. 

 Anyway, it's a good thing it's not a typical Skrillex song, but I can see why the music producers wanted this. It's quite catchy when juxtaposed with the Utada Hikaru's softer vocals. Again, this'll be short. I've got BIGGER priorities.

Day 178: The Coma Machine by Between the Buried and Me // 8

GENRE: progressive  Ok, I had my doubts when I first started listening to this song. It seemed a bit cheesy at first? However, it's definitely grown on me. There's a gradual progression throughout the piece, with various sections incorporating a range of momentum and tempos and time signatures, especially the section about 3 minutes in. This song has quite a bit going for it. The 7/8 is a nice feature as well. I love drumming to this piece because of that. The drummer plays out of their mind to begin with. The composition has a solid theme going throughout the piece that serves as the glue to the song. That chromatic interval appears quite a bit throughout the song. Again, that's grown on me.

Day 11: She Watch Channel Zero by Follow For Now // 7.5

genre: rock, funk metal snack: Kroger Mesquite BBQ Chips For the next few days my posts will be limited in scope due to my busy schedule. Damn, this is a banger. Not only does it have one of my favorite musical patterns in the syncopated rhythm of "She watch, she watch, she watch...". It might sound obvious, but it's like a gentler Rage Against The Machine. Don't forget, RATM is one of my favorite bands. The raw energy, the deliciously catchy riffs, and how they build up their songs. It's really no different in this song. It's got all the things you'd want. However, it only makes me want to listen to more RATM, because this song seems to lack the kind of visceral sound. Rating: 7.5/10

Day 216: Don't Think Twice, It's All Right by Bob Dylan // 7.5

GENRE: folk I had a vivid dream that I was a cowboy in the rustic ghost town, while a Bob Dylan song was playing in the background. This is my salutation to that fun dream. Bob Dylan himself has been in the music industry for such a long time, and few people have listened to that gigantic discography in its entirety. I know his more famous works, but even then there are some that just slip by. You can immediately tell it's a Bob Dylan song, what with it's particular acoustic guitar plucking style, the voice obviously, and the harmonica. I guess, when you listen to this song, you aren't there for instrumental technique. You're there for the comforting, folk timbre and the compassionate lyrics. Granted, it's a push and pull love song, it's still a Bob Dylan song at its core. Rating: 7.5/10
