Discovering New Music entry #14

[media=https://youtu.be/7NK_JOkuSVY]
Song: "Lost"
Artist: Linkin Park
Album: Meteora20

Another unreleased demo featuring the late Chester Bennington. I like it! Not surprised about the quality of this tracks since it was made earlier in their career, when they were good. Pretty sad as well, not just because Bennington's no longer around, but they had to make their last album with him their worst, when this song shows they could dish out quality music before. Rest in peace.

ACCEPTED ✅

Generic-sounding.

Song: "Death Of An Executioner"
Artist: Pierce the Veil
Album: The Jaws of Life

Ten entries ago, they had a song that unsurprisingly didn't impress me, since I've never been big on this band. While this song isn't too impressive, I do like it enough to add it, so not bad for them...

Song: "The Game"
Artist: Starbenders
Album: The Game - Single

Not bad! Not terribly original, but it's hooking me enough to add it.

Song: "Call Me What You Like"
Artist: Lovejoy
Album: Call Me What You Like - Single

It was okay. I like the parts when the song picks up, but the rest of it doesn't do enough for me. Not bad though.

Song: "Oceans"
Artist: Venamoris
Album: Drown in Emotion

I really like the music! The singing's alright, but the music's definitely the highlight. I'll add it just for that.

I like it! Sounds pleasant.

Song: "Delusions of Grandeur"

It's alright. Hooking me a little bit, but not enough.

REJECTED ❌

Yawn. Wannabes.

Song: "Dark Waves"

Generic as hell! Songs like this just get on my nerves.

REJECTED ❌

Song: "Left Behind"
Artist: The Plot In You
Album: Left Behind

I'm getting annoyed. The next song had better have some creativity about it, because I'm getting sick of this cookie cutter nonsense I keep hearing.

REJECTED ❌

Song: "help me understand"
Artist: Surf Rock is Dead
Album: help me understand - Single

Much better than the last three songs, but at the same time, I'm not getting into it enough to add it.

Song: "This Is Mongol (Warrior Souls) [feat. William Duvall]"
Artist: The Hu
Album: This Is Mongol (Warrior Souls) [feat. William Duvall] - Single

Now that's what I'm talking about! Leave it to Alice in Chains' William Duvall to swoop in and save the day.

Song: "Bone Church"
Artist: Slipknot
Album: Bone Church - Single

This is Slipknot? Huh... Never would have guessed it since it sounds nothing like anything I've heard from them before. I wish I could say that was a good thing in this case, but this song does nothing for me. Then again, they never usually do, lol.

REJECTED ❌

Song: "In The Dark"
Artist: In Flames
Album: Foregone

Interesting! This band used to be death metal, before shifting their direction to a more accessible metal sound, but this song sounds like they're returning to their roots a bit, Not bad!

ACCEPTED ✅

Song: "Uppercut Shazam"
Artist: Wig Wam
Album: Out of the Dark

It has its moments and kinda reminds me of Scorpions. But overall, it's not that impressive.

Song: "Over Western Shores"

Much better than the last song I heard from this album!

ACCEPTED ✅

Song: "Ghosts Again"
Artist: Depeche Mode
Album: Memento Mori

I love these guys and it's great to see them putting out new music, but this song isn't doing it for me. Maybe when more songs from this album gets released, they'll have something that'll make the cut. Not this time, I'm afraid. They still rock though!
