Hi, This is the Juke Box Jury where you can review and rate a bunch of songs.

It goes like this:

1) Go to [Link removed]
(klick 'Check out Kobaia's music')

2) Listen the songs.

3) Write an opinion / short review of each song.

4) Rate the songs: 6 points for the best, 5 points for the second best,... 1 point for the last.

And the most important thing:

5) Don't reveal the artists/songs if you recognize them! Don't spoil the fun of other listeners.

Later I count the points, announce the winner and the songs!

There's maximum of 10 listeners at the time, so be patient if you cannot get there. Actually this threat is here for the second time. At the first time nobody cared to listen the songs, so I suppose there will be no rush this time either Ouch

If there will be some participants, I'll occasionally drop a new set of songs here, always on some theme, which is now "songs thats name begins with letter A" Ermm

Have fun!

[ Edit: This is no more, go away! ]

6 points: Song #5 - Captivatingly dramatic. Great singer. Cool guitar solos. Weird beginning that seems a bit out of place.

5 points: Song #1 - Sounds good. Wonderful singer, relatively interesting background noises. I preferred the first ethereal half to the rocking end.

4 points: Song #3 - I've heard this somewhere. Great singer(s), great melody, nice big sound, nice guitar solo at the end.

3 points: Song #2 - I didn't care much for this one. Nice keyboard work, but nothing mindblowing. It gets a bit more interesting towards the end though. The lead singer's somewhat whiny voice fits well with the pathetic lyrics.

2 points: Song #4 - Mostly very average, but I liked the intrumental section in the middle. Dull melody. I don't like the way the drums sound. The singer's voice is a bit annoying.

1 point: Song #6 - Boring intro leading to a silly horn section (twice!), and then some strange apocalyptic hippie poetry pronounced in a demonic voice accompanied by an uninspired guitar solo.

No it didn't... too sad Unhappy

But actually, as I look at those popular threads and polls, it doesn't surprise me at all.
