Yeah media player adds those for some reason, it's not my own rating it's probably based on play count or something. It is nothing meritocratic before people start bitching I actually just print screened media player.

I have listened through the album now and all I can say is that I'm pleasantly surprised  :)

My favorite is definitely DarkPriest's "Wicked Cone Torturer". It was insane, creative and scared me more than a little!

Is this a place to give out critique as well? I'd be glad to hear what people have to say about my pieces.

alright track by track-

0. Bumblebee Man - One for the masses is a pretty cool intro.

1. Bonehead - Masters of the Broken World is fantastic. Fantastic guitaring and great harmonies. A non-midi backing track would have been nice, but man this song can do no wrong.

2. Falconshield - Mr. Death. Oh My God. Agh. I... don't really know what to say this is just amazing incredible fucking hilariously good shit!

3. Rotting Woman (whois?) - The Green. Uhm yeah, moving on...

4. ATARI - Holy Very nice song, produced really well and played great. Yes atari that is called a compliment.

5. Coxswain+Falconshield - Bane of Hope. Fucking fantastic! The lyrics/story was brilliant and the structure and oh fuck it just listen to it.

6. Running on the roofs (whois?) - Evangeline Dirt Scratcher. Very metal indeed. singing a bit out but this is metal so it doesn't matter in the slightest. Brilliant track.

7. Falconshield+Ihatemalus - Don't Block This Tackle another falconshield track no need to comment.

8. ARTERI - Fade to Black Love the riffs and shit, great guitar work on this.

9. Rotting Man (couchfiend?) - Nothing and the End Nice spacey WOAH track kinda thing. Slow Metal. Nothing bad to say really.

10. JMickle - [interludd] oh this is just fantastic. 5000/10

11. Vincent Olmsted (Puppet Master) - Out the Door HAhahaha this is pretty funny. but you did steal the chords to knocking on heavens door.

12. JMickle - Monsters And Demons Highlight of the album. Brilliant under-produced style. 100000/2

13. Aborto Guei (whois?) - George Metal Bush hahahhahaha fucking graet.

14. DeePee (darkpriest?) - Wicked Cone Torturer brilliant this is just brilliant.

15. Gore Vidal In Space (chef?) - George Bush The President Of Our Hearts BANANAPRESIDENT

I still have no idea what this is but I added it to the album anyway.

1. Bonehead - Masters of the Broken World
This was good as I have been nagging you to make a soad style song for ages so I was really pleased when I received this submission. It's so system. You just need to go on holiday to armernia and get shot a few times and you'll get the exact sound sooner or later.

2. Falconshield - Mr. Death
This is the most metal song on the album. Nice and thrashy and nonsensical lyrics which are totally standard for metal. Awesome.

3. Rotting Woman - The Green
Obscure tool reference.

4. BATA I - Holy
This was really good as per usual. You need to equalise your vocals and instrument tracks a bit so they reach right freq ranges but you got some solid songwriting going on there man.

5. Coxswain+Falconshield - Bane of Hope
We are coming to sweden to take your recording equpiment from you. Beware.

6. Running on the roofs - Evangeline Dirt Scratcher
This was neat

7. Falconshield+Ihatemalus - Don't Block This Tackle
Quote
another falconshield track no need to comment.

8. FARTI - Fade to Black
I think I heard another band play this song before and you just copied all the notes. I'm on to you yer skinny bum sniffer.

9. Rotting Man (whois) - Nothing and the End
This reminds me of the time I had an argument with my wife and took her into the woods and shot the bitch.

10. JMickle - [interludd]
An opus.

11. Vincent Olmsted (Puppet Master) - Out the Door
I loled at the lyrics to this too. We needed a ballad.

12. JMickle - Monsters And Demons
Sounds like cats being thrown into a space vortex whilst all the time a tin monkey with parkinson's disease is playing RHCP riffs on LSD. When I first heard this I had a bizarre desire to defecate.

13. Aborto Guei - George Metal Bush
I like this it should've built up more near the end but I already told you this. Its kinda mogwai chordy.

14. DeePee - Wicked Cone Torturer
I followed through when I heard this too. It's slightly sinister and creepy whilst maintaining a pace. Interesting concept that I like.

15. Gore Vidal In Space  - George Bush The President Of Our Hearts
This is like devin townsend taking a poo through FL studio. I like the BEOWWWW BEOWW quality it has to it. Enjoyable.

It's a tribute to Napalm Death's You Suffer. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dws87NR6DpM&feature=related

Really short. Really political. Totally metal.

OK so I'm not joining the mutual comment thing I'll just give out honorable mentions:

Monsters and Demons: Even if the recording is like that and there is a child singing I think it has the coolest and most metal sounding chord progression of all the tracks I listened to (all of them)

George bush the president of our hearts: That's the most extreme post apocalyptic progressive electronic le corbusier metal I've ever heard

Yeah...

1. Bonehead - Masters of the Broken World
One of the heaviest guitars on the album. Also you're bringing the very important hard rock gallop :) Overall a solid track. Drums do tend to make it sound a bit "cheap" tho.

2. Falconshield - Mr. Death.
I am Mr. Death

3. Rotting Woman (whois?) - The Green.
Yeah...that whole...crazy thing...

4. ATARI - Holy
First and only time I've heard ATARI was his contribution for the Lonely Hearts Album so my expectations weren't that high. But this was great actually! You've got the best voice at the GW-forums(that I've heard at least), but sometimes it sounds a little "streamlined" if you know what I mean :) Give it some further expression. Get angry, get mean! All in all, a great track.

5. Coxswain+Falconshield - Bane of Hope.
Please don't take my stuffz...  Deathgod will avenge.

6. Running on the roofs (whois?) - Evangeline Dirt Scratcher.
It think ATARI said it best when he said "It aint metal unless noone cares about production values". I thought I got that right, so, metal!

7. Falconshield+Ihatemalus - Don't Block This Tackle
Why am I the only one singing in falsetto?  :mad:

8. ARTERI - Fade to Black
I was impressed by the way you handle a guitar. You changed some chords from the original but that might've been intentional.

9. Rotting Man  - Nothing and the End
One of my favorites on the album. You'll need that new microphone(hissing sound when you sing), but all in love the atmosphere. Well done!

10. JMickle - [interludd]
Yeah...I dont get it =)

11. Vincent Olmsted (Puppet Master) - Out the Door
Haha put a smile on my face! Lyrics spot on!

12. JMickle - Monsters And Demons
Very good riffing. My only problem is that the whole song sounded like a GREAAT intro! I was waiting for the huge, epic chorus but it never came. But I'll say it again, great riffs. The song deserved better production :P

13. Aborto Guei (whois?) - George Metal Bush
Cool. We needed some political satire as well!

14. DeePee (darkpriest?) - Wicked Cone Torturer
Like I said before, I love this. I don't know if it's metal but ...I can't stop listening to it! :D

15. Gore Vidal In Space (chef?) - George Bush The President Of Our Hearts
Amazing track. I don't really know what sub-genre I would place it in, but it's hard as a ten ton hammer!
