There's something about that kind of metal that you just can't hate. I watched the music video because the one you linked wasn't enabled for mobile and I digged it despite its overflowing cheesiness. I'm not sure if I'd be able to actively listen to these kind of bands though, they'd probably lose their charm fairly quickly. I'd spare them for special occasions.

Well to me it seemed nothing short of just overly bassed guitar and thrashing of the same 3 power chords. You cant really hear the lyrics and the guy is obviously goin for a failed James Hetfield impression. Sounds like something my dad would like.

Had a decent rhythm, and some pretty good harmonics. I'm a sucker for music that includes "worldwide chorus" type singing as well, and the main vocalists didn't sound too bad. I normally don't listen to or like that kind of music though, so it'll just be getting a 9/10.

Well that was most interesting/trippy/abstract. Too upbeat for everyday listening for my tastes but otherwise entertaining and great for cheering up. I give it 8 Karl Marxs.

Timo Rautiainen & Trio Niskalaukaus - Hämmennys ja viha

The lyrics here are pretty important. Unfortunately you won't get them.

Sounds neat, can't understand the lyrics, 8/10 because rock has a soft spot for me

And now for a band I've never heard of beyond this song

That was pretty good. It's a nice blend that's easy to both chill out and groove to and I really just find it generally enjoyable.

Oh man that sounds like something that would play on the radio station I listen to all the time

I really like that sort of swingy... something (I don't know the genre) style it has going, reminds me of "Band on the Run" in some ways, and the vocals blend real well with the music. All in all, it's a real head-bobber; tenouttaten

That's a pretty dumb song.

It was a nice parody (?) of modern rap, but it got pretty annoying after a while. I can guaranty you I'll be singing it in my head for five weeks. 3/5 Ladies Men

I liked it. The instruments work well with the vocals.

The music video was neat and I liked that instrumental part near the end but other than that it sounded like a pretty generic boy rock band and I had to force myself to be able to listen to it.

Bump. I like this thread so I'd rather not leave it to die.

Sorry i cant give a critique of the last video because you tube wont let me.

Can't say I loved it. The singer's voice was a bit annoying, and the instruments were repetitive. It was tolerable though, it didn't sound like it was doctored up real bad at least. 4/10

I really like this kinda music. Full marks for the instrumentals. The guy's voice isn't bad, I actually like his earthy tones, but it could have done with more clarity. Not a fan of slurred music in general.

Lyrically it feels kinda generic?

The Cat Empire. His voice might be a bit annoying but bear with it.
