8.5/10

Relaxing music, enjoyed it.

6/10 - the music was alright except the autotuned voices, which are so overdone these days as to be an obvious compensation for lack of vocal skill.  (Doesn't mean these people lacked vocal skill, but some people use it as a cover-up.  Look at Rebecca Black.)  The video had good production values but the design overall suffered from a number of problems, both obvious and more symbolic.  There was a glaring lack of variety; the only significant change in the video occurred at the very end.  When the change did show up, the designer chose the less symbolic change - the woman entered the man's dusty world, rather than the man moving from the bland to the colorful.  This would have been acceptable if the desert house had been altered via SFX by her entrance.  There's just so much they could do with this concept and they did almost nothing.  The decent score is because the whole thing was carried by a decent song and professional presentation; from an artistic perspective, as much could have been said by still photos.
[This review was to calindu, so now I'll review Uppercut's selection too.  Funny, Uppercut gave this the same score I did, for similar reasons!]

6/10
The instrumentation is good but the vocal effects are pretty awful. Her autotune is autotuned. This had potential but saturated vocals, lack of melody variation, and some of the tonality on the electronica bits takes a lot away for me.

I don't like metal, so it gets 3/10.  The two points are for the fact that they can actually play their instruments with enough skill to be impressive.  Not all metal falls into this category, and save for the vocal part (which is a dealbreaker), it wasn't anywhere near grunge.

It's french!
6/10
I don't normally listen to french music, but I guess it's not bad. Points for being in a movie I watched.

Oh, I am HUGE on French music, French culture, French anything.  I would love to move to Paris someday.

9/10.  I've heard of MapleStory a couple times, looks interesting.  This music gets some major points for using overdriven guitars as a percussive element - that's pretty clever.

Taking an orchestral tack here:

(Frankly, John Williams couldn't have done better.  Jeremy Soule is incredible.)

4/10

I am not a fan of those kinds of songs.

[Thalas]

3/10

I don't like remixes much, but I liked the sax or whatever it was. However it just repeats so it gets annoying pretty quickly

 Thrice - Lion and the Wolf (

[Aves]

I don't like it. 4/10- It's just not my type, the lyrics especially.
Les Deux Pianos- Yann Tiersen (

[Conchobear]

7/10 It was ok, but it wasn't that exciting besides the first 20 seconds of it.

Found this yesterday

5/10
Voice is good, I don't really like anything else about it though.

5/10, points for reminding me of Marley, but this isn't that great.

7/10 I found it a bit bland, I am more of a Rarity fan myself

&lf=plpp_play_all&playnext=15) - Never actually watched the anime this song is from but it has such a awesome beat and cool singer that I fell in love with the song. Aside from that lyrics are pretty interesting.
