I don't know how I feel about Milton's masterpiece being co-opted as some random band's name, but that's neither here nor there. Very generic chord progressions, and I really dislike the vocals. 4/10
1/10 My only thought while listening to this was wow, this is terrible, no offense to the poster intended.
DJ Shadow - Building Steam With a Grain of Salt
If you want me, i am still here. ElTheDaze@yahoo.com6/10 - Rating it so low probably makes me an infidel, but I still think this album only contains three truly stellar tracks, and this one isn't among them. I like Psyence Fiction more:
8/10 I love that song and in my opinion it has the most epic guitar solo of all time. If it were the original version it would have gotten a 9/10.
3/10 - It's reassuring to know bubblegum pop isn't an entirely new disease.
EDIT: I apologise for the horribly muddy audio in this video. :(

My latest liveblog.7/10 Not too shabby! Rather catchy, matter of fact!
7.5/10 Very good. Hadn't heard it before.
7/10. Quite good, quite good. Singer's accent gets a bit grating though.

Listen to Music with Tropers at The Troper Turntable!6/10 I liked the instrumentation quite a bit, but didn't care much for the vocals.
8/10 Odd but in a very lovable way.
8/10
Now for a slightly different tune: (I'm having trouble figuring out how to embed it, so I'll just post the link) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR1Ln-ctn5E

4/10. How very twee. There are worse Christmas songs... but that's roughly equivalent to getting the flu and being told "well there are worse infectious viruses...". Sorry to be a Scrooge but... bah humbug.
Because I wanted an excuse to post what I think is the year's best music video again.

Listen to Music with Tropers at The Troper Turntable!9/10 Excellent song and video.
7/10. I used to love the song; I've kind-of gone off it a bit but it's still one of the best from Foo Fighters.
Since I'm crap at embedding videos, I'l just going to post this link.
last.fm | RYM5/10. Metal, in most of its forms, has never been my cup of tea, and that's mostly because of the vocals. This is a case in point. Some fairly epic guitar work going on there though.
8/10 Saegs, you seem to always come up with music I have never heard of and I love the instant I hear it. Here's to you.
9/10. Fuck yeah 15 Step! And thank you very much .
8/10 Mew=obscure & awesome!
I saw these guys open for They Might Be Giants in concert. They aren't half bad either.
6/10. Nice enough pop song, nothing special. Can't dislike it though.
6/10 Enjoyable but not engaging.
50th post!

2/10 I hate that song.
