Some Controversy inbound here. And I'm absolutely disgusted to find out who actually submitted this because I like it so much

Federation Of Free Traders -

gets 9 points for Emotional Titanic Flute

Notes:

Listen1: People are gonna moan about this as a joke, but i fukking love this guy and I don't care :P

Listen2: So I listened to this song first for the first listen. And I already knew it. And I like it. I think it's brilliantly put together. You might see someone acting the bollix here, but I think it takes real skill to pick and choose the notes to play correctly and the ones to **** up. I love it. However, after listening to everything else twice, I need to put this in the right place based on those.

Just got round to listening to this now. I was totes emosh, skunk.

And I love the bolded line from tusk above. No truer words were ever written :pac:

You're hooked. Get yourself to a Werewolf sign-up thread pronto!




Ah there's multiple live versions of Black which are 'best ever' material. Love Unplugged and the rawness of Eddie's vocal, also love this...



Btw I've seen PJ live 20+ times and play in a PJ tribute, I'm a bit of a freak :pac:

That "we belong together" line in throws in on live versions just adds that extra little bit of heart break to an already heartbreaking song

Ooof sorry about that Necrina. Welcome to the wacky world of Walrus too

(Better not gloat yet lol, I don't wanna be sleeping in the shed tonight :pac: )

I didn't come in last from my first song! Wherever I go from here, I'm counting this as a win.

pulling in 7 points for Sufjan Stevens - Chicago

Notes

Listen1: decent enough. nice background music. Wouldn't go out of my way to find it again though

Listen2: Ah it's fine, just not really doing anything for me. I'm getting nothing really from this listen at all. I just want it to end so I can move on

Just reading the thread now, thanks for sharing your thoughts. My reason for picking this one is because I first heard it maybe 14 years ago but it was only a snippet on the radio. It was the days before shazam and smartphones. A few years after that I saw an ad for little miss sunshine on network two and this song is on the OST. Asked on boards who it was, got the answer, downloaded the album there and then and listened to the song repeatedly. It's my most listened to song on my ipod and I've loved it since. When he played in Dublin 4 years ago I missed out on tickets so as a wedding present my wife bought me tickets and flights to see him in Manchester. The day we were due to fly over for the gig we went into the coombe for a scan and without going into details we got some devastating news and couldn't go to the gig. For a couple of years I couldn't bring myself to listen to it but it came on shuffle randomly at some point last year and it's been back in circulation since.

Anyway, that's enough maudlin, I'm looking forward to getting your opinions on the 21 minute opus I put through.

Thanks for sharing Jurgen! That's some story! And thanks for helping to add some more tears to my walrus bucket today

I'm gonna go find a hole to climb into and bawl the rest of my tears out.

Haven't cried this much in years

Tusk round 2 starts tomoro wooo hooo

tusk

23 songs left to review twice and 4 left to review once. I'll try get through a few tomorrow. Reveal perhaps on Sunday.

IF you're all good

Electric Nitwit

I read that and was excited, then checked which round it was...!

My issue with the changeling is that I had good reason to hate my song initially, it's crap! It's just circumstances around it that have led me to now enjoy it. As you're judging it cold it could come very low... it's certainly worse than The National!

quickbeam

I'm still not at all sure about my Changeling. It was definitely the hardest category for me. In some ways at least, OTOH, the other categories had such a wealth of options that it was hard to narrow down, so they were difficult in their own way too.

adox

The changeling is the least inspiring of the categories.

The one where you kind of hope you are marked low so you can say " I knew that song was shit all along"

tusk

Changeling first listens are done. Should hopefully get through second listens tomorrow and Sunday with reveal soonafter

Necro

So reveal tonight is what you're saying.

whoop cant wait for this to start tonight

Love Friday night walrus

Hey! I ain't no skunk

FG Beers, it would have been unnecessary madness to have this tonight. BH Monday reveal is perfect.

tusk

Final Scores for Round 2 are compiled. So let's kick this off!

Wooo hoo now I can finally complain that my song is not the same without the video

Dam you tusk and you making this all about the music

What is this the voice

Also starting whhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooop

tusk

A reminder of Round 2:

2. The Changeling
Ever have a song you just know you hate. You don't know why, but you do? Then somehow for no apparent reason you start humming it when it comes on. All of a sudden you're actively seeking it out on Spotify or YouTube? Submit a song you initially hated but then grew to like.

My Example:

I hated this song. HATED. Couldn't get my head around the 'noone knoooows, how far it gooooos. It did not compute for me and it hurt me deep.

Then I started to love it. It's a great song.

tusk

Okay, here we go.

In at the very middle we have The Wild Boys

GNR

with Rod Stewart - Maggie May and 13 points

Notes:

Listen 1: nice plucking intro. medeivel sounding. About to break out some greensleeves its sounds like. WTF, then the song starts and it's completely separate. what even is that intro doing there? DAFUQ. like this song actually. Well the first verse anyway. 'say to you' the climb on this part of the verse is just lovely. i like to sing it. very popular song, which means there are always detractors. intersted to hear the reasons for it being a changeling.


Listen 2: Oh yeah, the intro that doesn't actually have anything to do with the bloody song. WTF. That's gotta be illegal right? The actual intro is decent enough tbf. I love the 'Wake up maggie' bit. Good song.

Well, did she eventually find out????

tusk

Next up Klapauzius aka.

Jurgen

with Shake It Off by Taylor Swift and a solid 12 points...

Listen 1: Ha! this was a changeling for me too. ****in hated it. But it's actually pretty decent. fairly flat throughout tho. Don't know a lot of taylor swift, but this is a decent one.

Listen 2: Nah, not arsed listening to this again. Solid 6.5

tusk

The Syndicate

Necro

next with Wiley, Sean Paul, Stefflon Don - Boasty feat. Idris Elba get's himself 14 points

Listen1: Love that bong. nice. don't like the clappy bit. I like this. super beat and the vocals are actually deadly, bit of layered vocals. bbbbbbiddybaba


Listen 2:Oh that bass. I wish i had my skullcrusher headphones to listen to this. That beat is just great. The Boasty bit is the worst part. Everything else is pretty decent. Ok, now i'm getting bored of it. Bye bye

Necro

'Fairly flat' :pac:

Ooh la di da Mr. Rolling Stone reviewer :P
