6/10 - Not bad, great game but the soundtrack is forgettable.

[bink]

I think you guys aren't entirely being honest with your ratings. I think you're being kind and trying not to hurt each other's feelings. I don't like a lot of these songs very much, but that doesn't mean that they're bad. It just means I don't like them. I did however somewhat like the BF3 remix and Kat's contribution. I liked the German band similar to Rammstein, if only the singer didn't sing at all; I liked the instrumentals.

I give the one above me a 5/10. The instrumentals again are kind of neat, but I'm not one for rap. What language is that?

So I'm going to shake things up a bit and provide you a song from a movie soundtrack. Discombobulate from Sherlock Holmes.

[Ludono]

Speaking for myself, I haven't disliked any of the songs so far, just some were kinda "meh". I'll be honest when I hear something atrocious though!
My song 2 posts up was German rap

As for yours I give it a nice solid 9/10, I really liked the movies and the soundtracks for them. That song in particular really fits the overall theme of the movies, slightly wonky and classical.
Since I've had a good day, heres something related.

7.5/10 Not overly impressive or anything, but I liked it a lot. The video also boosts it up a bit.

I think I'll go ahead and post a Pendulum song. Not my favorite of bands but the minute I heard this song while playing APB Reloaded I was like "huh, is this Pendulum?", then played the song non-stop....for the next five or so hours I played the game that night. ;_;

This song fits really well while playing a game like APB: R, which is all Grand Theft Auto cops-n-robbers style, if you can imagine that with this song.

I don't really like pendulum 5/10, average to me.

But I think context is very important for songs too...to some people they connect the music with something and that gives it a deeper meaning! For example:

I saw The Grey and these two pieces of music stand out to me because they depict strong/difficult/moving/action-packed moments in the film, to others it may just sound like a darker/sad or electronic piece.

The first deals with more of a revelation in the movie.



The second was part of a trailer - goes well with the action, a long build up to an epic conclusion, at least to me.

[SeveranceZero]

Here is one I happen to like a lot (I would have posted in the last post but it said I had too many media files )



You might recognize it from the Sherlock Holmes trailer.

[Darklurkr23]

Posthumous - 8 Great instrumental Definitely makes me kind of want to see the flick. But I think it's too hard for a Sherlock Holmes character


10000/1 Ill save you all the trouble

[Ludono]

Must..not..let Brony...instincts...guide me...

9/10....ah what the hell SOLID 10/10~

+2 Nerd Cred if recognize this song from a trailer for a very popular game.

[SeveranceZero]

I like Two Steps From Hell a lot and I have this song from them on my phone too - so 9/10! Also I'll take a stab in the dark and say FF - though I've never played them so /shrug.

What do you guys think of this ?

[Ludono]

7/10 Sounded good enough but lacked a certain enthusiasm...

Heres the trailer I was talking about...


How do you like this one? REALLY CATCHY ALERT

[SeveranceZero]

Not my style of music but it made me laugh so 7.5 (It's catchy too). Also the music went well with ME2 though I never played that either so I wouldn't have guessed >.<

[bink]

7/10 -- Didn't feel quite climactic enough for me, but I still enjoyed it.

Up next - the theme song from The Tudors.

Wanted to rate yours. Really enjoyed the first one - gave me chills, actually. And that's a piano -- not electronic. I just might have to go find some sheet music for that and learn to play it. Seems simple enough. 9.5/10

Also enjoyed the second one - 9/10 Just a bit long for my tastes without having something visual to accompany it, but I'm sure it makes awesome trailer music.

10/10 Loved the Tudors, great show and great opening theme!

How about some raindrops?

Yea, I know I used to play piano in high school (the electronic part was mainly referring to the second piece of music), it's the kind of style I always preferred playing, I love darker pieces heh. Though I never had the patience to sit and learn all the notes, I'm terrible at reading music so that part was always excruciatingly slow for me. If you do end up learning that piece though you should post it on youtube! I'd like to hear it played from a fellow GP member, see your piano skills!

@ Ludono - I'm not too keen on that song either (I guess just not my style) though it's not bad and the video is interesting...I guess being objective I'd say its 7/10 because it's simple but has a nice tune/tone to it.

To continue with the thread - here's a classic one I love, great movie too! Ugh I should change the style of the music I'm sharing so I'll post two - hope that's okay!



And a much more recent one but I think it's quite good! It's also cool how they performed the song.

[Ludono]

Love the first song, good movie too 9/10

Second song is okay, video makes it cooler 7/10

[Wchillinman]

Johnny Cash's version of Hurt 10/10 especially with the video.
Recently heard it again in the Prototype 2 commercial but this is one of my favorite cover songs. With the video it is more touching & meaningful. You know it is a classic when the ones who did the original version said it seemed to fit him. What makes it more meaningful is that it was done not too long before his death & the video show scenes from his life.
Now I bring you Hurt by Johnny Cash:

[SeveranceZero]

Johnny Cash is so good - 10/10!

[Marshall Henderson]

I like the original version quite a bit, but this version de-rocks it a little... gonna have to say 6/10.

If I am to enter this, I will have to slam my way in. With a slam jam.

[Ludono]

6/10 Song is alright, lyrics are good but not really a fan of the tune. Love the movie though

And Marshall's avatar reminded me of this song...
