8/10 Nice. Nothing outstanding there, but definitely nice.
Check this out
Here I am, living in the cyberpunk ambitopia that is 2015, sitting at a desk in front of my wonderbox eating food flown to me from across the globe. I hook myself into the community fora for a dwarven sociology simulator and load up a music cast shared by a comrade responding to a hypnotic frog. They share a manufactured anthem for a competitive vidcon, blaring the refrain
here we are, don't turn away now, we are the warriors who built this town, as if someone on the writing team had yet to recover from eating a bad batch of Starship. The music cast video raises the stakes, as the vidcon players compete in stadiums, striving for greatness, and the whole thing blandly postures, unaware of its own bathos. 0/10, burn with fire.
Eh, 4/10

Internal monologue, Earth Date fourteenth/January/twenty-fifteen, Remuthra has just posted in the rate a song thread. I can expect what passed for heavy metal/prog rock circa 1974. I click the link. Uriah Heep. 1972. Only two years out. Almost exactly as expected/10. I'd accept this as the background music in a scene in a dive bar somewhere, cast as the song that gets interrupted when our hero puts something good on the jukebox.
Eh, the world is a more interesting place for having different music tastes. This song has been stuck in my head this week and it's actually pretty dumb:
I'll give you fish, I'll give you candy...
