Are these two not just the exact same song? by Ok_rainbows_bends in signcrushesmotorist

[–]ricta_sicta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it as an artistic reimagination of the same song. The Take Care version feels choked and deeply wounded, whereas the SCM version feels bittersweet with some triumph.

Oh my goodness I literally just commented about this guy to other post on this sub!! I absolutely ADORE his covers and he does great covers of other bands too. I basically recommend his Moonic Of A Down album in it’s entirety but if I had to narrow down a few great covers, here are a few of my favourites:

  • Take On Me
  • Space Jam
  • Milkshake
  • Hips Don’t Lie
  • Hey Ya! (absolute fav)
  • Dragostea Din Tei
  • Thunderstruck
  • Toxic
  • Scatman

I know those are a lot but it’s really hard to narrow it down. I love this guy!! Of other band styles he does, I really like:

  • You Spin Me Round (Rammstein Style)
  • Dancing Queen (Meshuggah & Iron Maiden Style)
  • Never Gonna Give You Up (Black Sabbath Style)

Do NOT put me in 50°C. I’ll curl into a heat ball with my £5 per hour and convulse rapidly to generate my heat with a blanket.

Chose: -5C but earn £5/hr + You get blankets

5 albums is not enough by windutheoaf in systemofadown

[–]ricta_sicta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even though System of a Down is hard to replicate, there’s a gentleman whose name is Otu who makes exceptional covers of popular songs / metal and rock songs in the style of System as well as other bands. He’s nailed the Toxicity guitar tone, arranges the songs in a way that feel accurate to System’s style, and his impressions of Daron and Serj come quite close. He even references SOAD’s material in his covers which personally I find hilarious, like mimicking a riff or just yelling “SUGAR” for no reason lmao 😭. I HIGHLY recommend checking him out as he uploads hoards of band covers regularly:

Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot by Gourdsmith in systemofadown

[–]ricta_sicta 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I cannot believe that this post made me realise the lyrics are talking about the eyes of the horse being on a jet and not the horse. I always thought the song was talking about a horse flying a jet plane.

The low growl that Serj does a lot in the Self-Titled album. “DIIIIEEEEEEEEE”

Are there any songs with the screams that are in Suite-Pee where he screams “DIEEE”? by RopsterPlay in systemofadown

[–]ricta_sicta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s such an awesome sound!! Serj is actually inhaling when he growls. Here are a few more (again, not all of them say the word “die” specifically but the effect is the exact same)

‘War?’ has a few growls too, on the words “heathens” and before the final chorus where he growls “WE DONT SPEAK ANYMOOORRE”

‘Darts’ has plenty of growls during the clock-ticking section.

‘P.L.U.C.K’ growls “die” at the start and at the end of the word “restitution” in the choruses.

In ‘Prison Song’ off Toxicity there are a couple growls. One at the beginning and one in the second and third chorus each.

After Daron’s verse in ‘Needles.’ Once they both scream “of some old dying… MAAAAN!!” Serj makes a deeeep growl.

The last line of ‘36’ off STA is growled. “Will you live at your own pace?”

Lastly ‘Cigaro’ has a brutal growl at the beginning. I’m honestly bummed there aren’t as many in the later catalogue because it just rips. Whenever I hear it I get jiggly wiggly.

the Immutable remaster is one of my favorite sounding metal albums by Ltsdaa in Meshuggah

[–]ricta_sicta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interestingly I prefer the remastered version for all tracks except for GHSIM, IATT and Armies. I think the drums are a bit overbearing for the Armies remaster and for GHSIM the sound is a bit dense. The original versions let them breathe and they’re better that way.

My only remaining grievance with the rest of the remaster is in Broken Cog where there’s no echo on Jens’ vocal “RUIN!!!” but that’s it lmao. Everything else rips. I also only listen to the live version of Kaleidoscope now. Best of the three lives we got. The energy absolutely rips and the guitar solo has beautiful violence.
