I can get on board with Iron Maiden. I'm not a metal man, but if it ever came down to a quickfire choice between, say, Metallica and Iron Maiden, it'd be Iron Maiden every time. They know how to make a solid tune, the lyrics are intelligent and intelligible. The idea of the mystical heritage of a seventh son is deeply embedded in folklore. There's a slightly corny 80's metal sound to the guitars now, and the song's outro is very bombastic. 4/7 red raw knuckles.


Speaking of corny sounds...

I'm a Vampire — Future Bible Heroes

[Harry Baldman]

9/10. It is exactly the sort of music I like, predictably enough. Catchy and thematic!

This one's pretty much ambient music, but I still like it.

[Svarte Troner]

i like 7.5/10

[ShoesandHats]

That was pretty good, even if I don't speak Polish/Norwegian. 8.5/10

I don't normally like really loud music, but this along with the rest of the album this is from is an exception:

6/10 Loud and chaotic, then very quiet and calm. It left me confused.

[Avis-Mergulus]

Awesome/10. Always enjoyed Soviet marches, and this rings a familiar bell. Translation?

Have some Tsoi.

[Comrade P.]

8/10 One of favorite ones from Tsoi. But not the best one I think.

Into the Motherland the German army march!

[Remuthra]

8.7/10. That's some good guitar music.

In the thread tradition, have more war music.

[Guardian G.I.]

Awesome/10. Always enjoyed Soviet marches, and this rings a familiar bell. Translation?

It was "Der Heimliche Aufmarsch", a German Communist march originally written in 1931 for the anti-war film "Niemandsland".

Spoiler: Lyrics (click to show/hide)

German:
Es geht durch die Welt ein Geflüster.
Arbeiter, hörst du es nicht?
Das sind die Stimmen der Kriegsminister.
Arbeiter, hörst du sie nicht?
Es flüstern die Kohle- und Stahlproduzenten,
es flüstert die chemische Kriegsproduktion,
es flüstert von allen Kontinenten:
Mobilmachung gegen die Sowjetunion!

Arbeiter, Bauern, nehmt die Gewehre,
nehmt die Gewehre zur Hand!
Zerschlagt die faschistischen Räuberheere!
Setzt alle Herzen in Brand!
Pflanzt eure roten Banner der Arbeit
Auf jeden Acker, auf jede Fabrik!
Dann steigt aus den Trümmern der alten Gesellschaft
die sozialistische Weltrepublik!

Arbeiter, horch, sie ziehen ins Feld
und schrein "Für Nation und Rasse!"
Das ist der Krieg der Herrscher der Welt
gegen die Arbeiterklasse;
denn der Angriff gegen die Sowjetunion
ist der Stoß ins Herz der Revolution,
und der Krieg, der jetzt durch die Länder geht,
ist der Krieg gegen dich, Prolet!

Arbeiter, Bauern, nehmt die Gewehre,
nehmt die Gewehre zur Hand!
Zerschlagt die faschistischen Räuberheere!
Setzt alle Herzen in Brand!
Pflanzt eure roten Banner der Arbeit
Auf jeden Acker, auf jede Fabrik!
Dann steigt aus den Trümmern der alten Gesellschaft
die sozialistische Weltrepublik!

English:
A whisper goes around the world:
Worker, don't you hear it?
these are the voices of war ministers:
Worker don't you hear them?
Coal and steel producers are whispering,
Chemical warfare production is whispering too,
The whispering comes from all continents:
Mobilization against the Soviet union!

Workers, peasants, Arm yourselves,
Arm yourselves with guns.
Annihilate the fascist bandit armies,
set all Hearts on Fire!
Plant your Red banners of Labor
On every ramp, on every factory.
Rising from the ruins
of the old society
The socialist World Republic!

Workers hear, they gather for battle,
And shout for nation and race.
This is a war of World leaders
Against the working class.
Because the assault against the Soviet Union
Is a strike in the heart of the Revolution.
And the War, which sweeps through countries now,
Is a war against you Proletarian-!

Workers, peasants, Arm yourselves,
Arm yourselves with guns.
Annihilate the fascist bandit armies,
set all Hearts on Fire!
Plant your Red banners of Labor
On every ramp, on every factory.
Rising from the ruins
of the old society
The socialist World Republic!

8.7/10. That's some good guitar music.

In the thread tradition, have more war music.

That's not one of my favourite Iron Maiden songs, but it's not bad. 7.5/10

An old anthem of German-French friendship.

[flame99]

6/10. It's good, but all in all, I think it isn't particularly interesting.

Fall into the Sky

[notquitethere]

I once lived in the same house as a girl that really like trance music. She'd go off to house parties in the countryside and there'd be rooms for different kinds of trance. Listening now I can see how it could support a vast number of subgenres. Each kind of music resonates with a particularly emotional sensibility, and our receptivity to different forms of music is conditioned by our prior listening history. All this to say, I didn't like it. The starting piano was a bit corny, and then it quickly transmuted to computer music that followed a pretty generic pattern. I guess this is supposed to be a version of an existing song, though I'm not familiar with the original. 3/10: obviously competent but I don't subscribe to the general programme nor this particular instance of it.

Don't Worry About The Government - Talking Heads

[Remuthra]

7.5/10. I like the part where half the song is spent on talking about a building.
Reminds me a bit of the Who.

Aliens!
