I feel like not hating any of these makes for a much less funny reveal :frowning:

Body Count - Black Hoodie

I love Ice-T. I had the original self-titled BC album. To be honest, I didn’t even know they are still putting out albums. This is as classic Ice-T as you can get. Like he said at the beginning of the song, he’s been preaching this shit for 20 years. His lyrics are still as blunt as ever. While it has its merits, it’s also not as interesting to listen to as other artists. Other than the KRS-one sampling/tribute at the end, the rest of the song was also a bit generic.

Like the offspring entry, I still enjoyed it. Just not enough to stand out from the rest of the group.

It’s a good song. If I hadn’t posted it before I would have considered submitting it.

I’m feelin for @Yuv in this reveal. When you like the songs you are putting on the nodium the reveal feels even longer than usual. Going to be the same for me this grab bag.

Also @CanadaMatt3004 , bangin track. I hadn’t heard that before.

This happened in my indie rock category last walrus. Legitimately liked every song submitted. Makes for some tough judging.

Crumbling Ghost - Omie Wise

So this was definitely the odd song in the group. No pandering here for sure. The video had literally 14 views when I clicked on it the first time and it’s from 2016.

I’m generally not a big fan of the musical melodramatic or grandiose approach. I thought this would turn out as one, but to be fair I kinda liked it. I have no idea who this band is or what they are playing. I will guess it’s some sort of Folk Metal? That’s probably a thing.

It’s way too long and dramatic for me, but I enjoyed the somewhat psychedelic take on what I thought was an Irish folk song but turned out to be an American one after googling. It stood out probably more because I was so unfamiliar with it.

Interesting song. Nick P?

Also Ice-T song was quite good but I feel like I won’t be relistening to it so I get the low placement.

That’s a cover of a really old song. I know it from Doc Watson playing it.

Walrus is great. It’s fun playing Russian roulette waiting for your song to be revealed.

The Murder City Devils - Press Gang

After the first listen, I ranked this dead last. It grew on me and moved slowly up the ranks. Learned about press gangs which I wasn’t very familiar with. I don’t think I’d enjoy an album of this band, but it was catchy enough that I ended up listening to it more than I imagined.
