Disc 17 TERMINAL BLISS BRUTE ERR/ATA
2 thank you for your patience this ends abruptly. full on screamo one time fee has a little bit of a metal melody - thinking dragonforce. Echoing, brewing chants and 8 Billion People Reported Missing - drums are particularly good on this one. I love how they just take the lead and echo back and forth inside my skull, and the power chords just kind of brace against them and flow with so much resistance that they somehow feel calm on the surface. Tumoresque - March of the Grieving Droid - good vocals for singalong and a headbang breakdown at the end. Hidden Handed - more headbang and some painful guitar squeals, then a spacey noise pedal finish to the album. Disc 18 Tiara & Andrew Roller Skates 1 This Old House -- A duet with eerie intro, the echo of the two together kind of sounds like Appalachian indie music, but the female singer sings clear soul music. 2 Runaway Soul -- Still very eerie and etherial, the image of rollerskates, and a little girl who defied expectations. I think we will have to piece together how past meets present. A few flat notes kind of suggest that the little girl had a little sadness in her. 3 Roller Skates -- Slow tempo and and lightly strummed nylon guitar strings continue to be the voice's main companion. The bass makes a great beat for this song. 4 Crop Circles -- Intro to this song is a clip from a modern unsolved mysteries show about the paranormal. I am so glad this is coming out. I really like this duo's musical feel -- it's soulful, easy listening but it is a little haunted and creepy. Funnily enough, the spooky haunted feel has disappeared on this track after the intro, banished by the bongo beat. 5 Trouble in the Water -- a western twang is back and it just ever so slightly keeps this folk song from reaching the bottom of its harmony. its a little like reflections keeping you from seeing the bottom. I don't know why it's troublesome, yet tranquil. 6 Technicolor --- back to soul and reminding me of Tracy Chapman on this one for the deep feeling she conveys about simple wishes, and the repetition, the particular notes from the guitar, and the beautiful, clear voice!!! 7 Lie Next To Me -- R&B + dance, still the easy-listening, shows the skill of guitarist. Kind of dark and troubled 8 Not Even Human -- how the speaker feels now, Disc 19 WKNDR Rising 1 Wanted To Be Saved -- Rhythmic softer rock, bright, warm. Singer's voice has a hint of Irish -- refers to James Joyce! 2 Bridges -- These songs are revolving smoothly around and return to joyful refrains that celebrate faith in another person. 3 title track introduces the promised flute. It sounds really cool! You can hear it like it's next to you! And it's bright like the music which celebrates love and the other being like a ray of light. 4 Say It's Not Today -- I think this song is saying no to doubt? Putting off doubt? And being grateful for the daily questions because they are satisfying. I like the part about seeing stars in their eyes, but them being deceitful? 5 Won't Make You Love Me -- Song about independence and love -- you have to find your own light! 6 Letting you go -- The flute is pretty on this one again -- the next song copies the same chord progression, and kind of backtracks? After letting them go, keeps waiting for, still believing.... 7 What I've Been Waiting For -- This one I think I have heard on the radio before. 8 Push on Through -- 9 Straight Line --- "there's nowhere to hide from this crooked line inside of my mind." Do you want me at all? Pushing through outside yourself, trusting another person, the speakers find strength in that act, in commitment. 10 Tidal Wave --- I'm now listening to the punk album that inspired this whole prize and think that this song and the song "Holding On" share a particular feeling! So , having gone in ABC order, this is a nice way to wrap up the shortlist listen.
