Have an overwhelming hatred of Basement Jaxx for similar reasons.

WHERES YOUR HEAD AT NOW

it’s outside cause I’ve just left now this has come on

I genuinely think I only listened to Dirge – sounds about right for…(googles)…14 year old me.

Might listen to that album I already own then.

This probably but I’m not sure

I’m about 7 minutes into Dopesmoker and I kind of want to keep going, but it’s making a mockery of the league and whoever submitted it is chuckling away to themselves at how clever they are, so I should skip it out of principle. There’s not room for cleverness here. It’s why I didn’t submit John Cage’s 4’33.

“DROP OUT OF LIFE WITH BONG IN HAND / FOLLOW THE SMOKE TOWARD THE RIFF FILLED LAND”

(not my pick btw, but props to whoever it was!)

I lasted until the vocals came in, then I had no regrets about skipping the rest

1 out of 5 tracks so far i would describe as “LOUD!” (maybe 2…)

I’ve really liked two of the others but man, was expecting WAY more aggressive than this!

that is some scream to close out the Vive La Fete track, goddamn

thought this was the band Noir Desir at first glance, not a song of the same name, and I was pretty surprised to see them on a DiS playlist. They were very good musically, but also really problematic

ok, next two are better! :+1:

I almost picked a heavier one but instead went for more adrenaline-fuelled jammy psych rather than crushing distortion (my other choice was a bit of both tbf)

“adrenaline-fuelled jammy psych” sounds cool with me!

I’m talking about like that sowetto one early on. REALLY liked it, but that’s not a “LOUD!” song, to these hungry ears…

ah i haven’t listened yet, but yeah it doesn’t look as bone-crushing as i expected, the reason i considered changing mine was i was worried it wasn’t heavy enough

But the theme is songs that need to be played loud, not songs that are loud. Very big distinction.

I shiuldve really subverted expectations and picked a song mastered really quietly so you HAVE to play it loud otherwise you won’t hear it well

Was just about to say this. You could interpret it as needing to be played loud, as it is mastered at a lower volume, etc

agreed! and my comment was operating in that context.

Clearly, this category is just as subjective as the actual liking of the tunes. Just saying my opinion, that’s all :slight_smile:
