Day 5: Red vs Blue Revelation Soundtrack Review (Our opinons may differ)

Hello~! -And Welcome to my blog. Today I'm going to be giving my review on the 'Red vs Blue: Revelation' soundtrack. First I'll go through each song and tell you what I think of it, then at the end I'll give my review on the soundtrack as a whole. Ok let's get started :D

1) Track 01: Agent Tex.
The song is intriguing, a mix of country, rock and almost opera-like vocals put together to make a full-fledged bad ass song. I especially like the very beginning when Caboose shouts 'This place is full of mean ladies!', the occasional comments from the RvB characters really made the song funnier, but didn't take away the serious melody.

2) Track 02: Prelude.
When you hear this song, serious shit is about to go down. When I listen to this song I can almost feel the suspense in it, man I love it when music is like that. The small wordless vocals really make me shiver, overall I am VERY fond of this song. *Sigh* If only it were longer...

3) Track 03: Boss Battle.
Boss Battle picks up of where Prelude left off, only the beginning of the song is stronger and more like actual battle music. It's not my favorite song in the soundtrack but I do like it a lot. The song still has that suspenseful aura that Prelude does, only not as strong. When I listen to this song I can picture a bad ass fight going on.

4) Track 04: Ice Fight.
The beginning of this song is what really makes me love it, the soft, almost eerie, bells (or whatever they are!) followed by the louder more dramatic drums then the vocals. This song ALWAYS sends shivers down my spine and makes my blood pressure rise. It's suspenseful, dramatic, serious, beautiful and overall a epic song. It's my second favorite in the soundtrack, and I listen to it every time I go onto YouTube.

5) Track 05: Plagam Extremam Infligere.
The songs starts out with some dramatic drums beating loudly, in a good way. Other instruments come in and the songs starts to evoke some emotion into the listener. Then the VIOLIN comes in, that part really caught my attention. It brought a mysterious aura to the song, making it much more suspenseful and intriguing. Truly a wonderful song XD Then the short vocals some in, when I first heard them I was like "WHAT WAS THAT?!" then after pressing reply about a hundred times I started to love the vocals.

6) Track 06: The Pelican Has Landed.
When the song first starts I automatically think "Omg Bad ass!" I must say I really like this song, it's not as dramatic as the rest but it definitely pulls people in. This song is simple and I give it a 4/5.

7) Track 07: Rally (Sarge's Speech)
This song is very motivational! Even though it doesn't have words it makes me feel very motivated! Slowly through the song the motivational suspense builds up and things get dramatic. I could see someone talking or giving a speech with this song playing (or something like that). Rally is one of the more calmer songs in the soundtrack.

8) Track 08: Red vs Blue.
My all time favorite song in the soundtrack (and in general). I've memorized all the lyrics to this song, and I'm in love with it. The lyrics are so deep, when I first listened to them I actually cried a little. Much better then the music I've been hearing lately, every time I listen to the song I can't help but grin and think of great things (like Rooster Teeth Productions! XD -shot-). The song is a mix of metal and rock, something I normally don't listen to, but this is a exception. I highly recommend it to others, but I'm sure not everyone will like it.

9) Track 09: Epilogue.
Ok I'm not afraid to admit that I cry when I hear this song, as a big Red vs Blue fan this song is really sad. During the song there is actually a monologue, not in the soundtrack song but in the actual show Epilouge played during the very last episode. Just for the hell of it I'll tell you the monologue.
The monologue says (if your not a Red vs Blue fan you might not get this);
'I'd like to say I found her right away. That I just walked into the epsilon unit and there she was waiting for me. As you can probably guess it didn't happen that way, but I know she's in here somewhere, and I'll find her. We always seem to find each other. For better or for worse. I don't know why the director did what he did, I don't know if he was trying to revive a memory from his past or if he was just trying to get it out of his head. But I figured out something that the Director didn't. It took Alpha, Delta and all the rest to help piece it together for me but..
What I've learned is that, a great love is a lot like a good memory. When it's there, and you know it's there, but just outta your reach, it can be all you think about. And you can focus on it and try to force it, but the more you do, the more you seem to push it away. But if your patient, and you hold still, well maybe, just maybe, it'll come to you.'

10) Track 10: Forge World,
I laughed so~ hard when I first heard this song, and I still do every time I hear it! The song is very fun, simple and short! If only I could have it on my ipod! You kinda haft to know Halo in order to get some of the song, but it's good for everyone!

11) Track 11: Your Best Friend.
Another hilarious song (if you know who Caboose is and his personality), very techno. It took me a few listens to understand the lyrics but when I found out what they were I kept laughing over and over again. The song has a good beat, very up-lifting!

12) Track 12: I Am The Best.
Probably the most entertaining song on the soundtrack! It's sung by Burnie Burns (WOO!). The song is more like a rap then normal songs but it's still an awesome thing to listen too! The back round singers add flare to the already interesting song and give it a nice beat! 5/5!

13) Track 13: Sarge's Blues.
A western/rock/jazz song that cracks me up every time! It's not my favorite, but I still recommend it. If your not a Red vs Blue fan you probably won't get the song though :/

14) Track 14: Grifball Jam.
When the song starts I immediately picture some sort of sport event, the song gives off a catchy beat that pulls people in. In the middle of the song the HARP comes in, that caught me off guard at first, but after the violin came in I was ok with it. I give this song a 3/5.

15) Track 15: Hijo De Puta Triste.
This song is one of the calmer songs in the soundtrack, it gives off a mellow almost fictional-game feel that makes me think I'm playing one of my video games. At the same time the western vibe is stronger and interesting. It's kind of a strange song, but I like it none the less. 2/5

16) Track 16: Agent Tex (Instrumental).
*See review for track 01*

17) Track 17: Suite.
This song screams epic. I absolutely love this song, the mix of the vocals, the suspenseful and dramatic melody, along with the sudden pops of flare and volume make it one hell of a thing to listen too. The song really evokes emotion into a person, makes your heart race, it's so unique! The ending really ties the song together nicely, so dramatic and almost un-fulfilling with the sudden stop.

18) Track 18: Red Vs Blue OST Version
I like this version of the song, but I must say I prefer the other one (track 08). I'm not sure if everyone notice's the difference between the two, but I do. This version is more sped up, less metal and clearer lyrics. I don't dislike this version, I'm just saying I like the other one more. 5/5

19) Track 19: I Say Ooh.
A good song, not really in my taste though. The song is almost retro and old-fashioned, but it's still fun and has a pop of rapping here and there. Some people will like it more then others and vice-verse.

And that is it! All the songs in the 'Red vs Blue: Revelation' soundtrack. So now my overall opinion on the soundtrack.
20/5. The soundtrack is unique, original, dramatic, well made and just awesome. I'm planning on buying the CD as soon as I can, because I really want to listen to the songs all the time. Red vs Blue has a wonderful soundtrack and I can't wait to hear more from Jeff Williams (the maker of all the songs in the soundtrack)!

Also, I'll put links to all the songs down below so you guys can listen to them too! Tell me if you agree or not on my reviews, or even make you own! Who knows! Well anyway, thanks for reading :D

Day 3: Three Days Grace, Evanescence and Seether.

Hello and Welcome to my blog.

Today I'm going to ramble about some of my favorite bands, and guess who they are?
Yep, Three Days Grace, Evanescence and Seether. They are some epic bands, that's for sure. I've been a Evanescence fan for about 3 years, a Seether for for about 6 monthes, and a Three Days Grace fan for about 1 year.
My favorite Three Days Grace song is 'Animal I have become'
My favorite Evanescence song is 'Sweet Sacrifice'
My favorite Seether song is 'Fake it'

{Some people would say these bands are 'emo', but really they're not. Just because bands sing about dark things doesn't mean you should rule them as that.}

Anyway here are some pictures of the bands;

Spirit Bound

Hello and Welcome to My blog :)

Today's Topic: A Review on Richelle Mead's 'Spirit Bound'

At first, Spirit Bound bored me and I stopped reading it for awhile. Then, after about two weeks I picked it up and started reading again.

Let's start with the beginning; The jail break was very interesting, but it went just how I though it would. Rose, Eddie and Lisa worked perfectly in sync, Rose and Lisa did a great job at acting like feeders, and all three of them reached Victor pretty fast. Now that was my first dislike. I would've preferred more of a struggle, more action {Not that there wasn't enough} and more conversation. It seemed rushed, which never makes me happy. But, I remember that part when Lisa sense other Spirit users, that caught my attention. It was a strange thing that I hadn't thought about, so I liked that part a fair amount.

Now moving on to the next part; After they Escape with Victor, and when they go to Las Vegas. I was started to get in to the book more, and I couldn't stop reading, after all, I was about to learn how to save a Strigoi. Then, Adrian Ivashkov came in, and I couldn't help but smirk like all hell. Adding him at that point was a great idea.
Next, when Victors brother came in a told everyone about the Spirit enhanced Stake. When I read how simple it was, I blinked a couple times, then read the page over again. It seemed a little, well, sudden. I would've preferred if more time was spent on such a important scene. But I did enjoy it as well, sometimes making things simple can make them even more epic.

Next in line, saving Dimitri; When I read that Dimitri had Lisa, and that he was waiting for Rose to save her my heart skipped a beat. I kinda knew that would happen, seeing how Dimitri was in 'Blood Promise', but I was still happy that I could read more with him. When the big fight came, and all the Guardians and Moroi stormed the 'house', I was really into it. When Christian and Rose were fighting to get to Lisa, it was exciting. Then when Lisa finally stabbed Dimitri with the Stake, I was big eyed and curious. Then once I read on and found out that Dimitri was normal again, I was relieved. Then later on when they had to preform the 'tests' on him, I was laughing my ass off.
But when Rose and Dimitri started fighting with each other, I couldn't help but be majorly pissed off. I'm not a Rose X Dimitri fan girl. But, when they fought I was very interested and totally sucked in because of the drama between them, and it created more character depth for both Rose and Dimitri.

Next, the new rule; When I read about the new rule that the Moroi council was setting I was outraged. I mean, really?! Academy students graduating at 15-16 years old? I was very happy when Rose started screaming at the Queen, it made me smirk as I read it. No Dhampir could do it, other then Rose Hathaway. It was ridiculous and it made me mad, but that's good. A good book makes you mad, sad, or happy.

And finally, the death of the Queen; When I opened the book and started reading some of the last few chapters, my jaw dropped. And I became sad/mad again. I couldn't believe that Queen Tatiana was murdered, it shocked me. The first thing I wondered was, who killed her, and why?! Now, when Tatiana first came in I hated her so much. But, the more she appeared the more I was beginning to like her, and soon I became attached to her character. And so, I was upset when she died. But when Rose was accused I was twitching and fliping through the pages and reading quickly. Because, as all us readers know, Rose didn't kill the Queen. But, then THE most shocking part happened. When Rose got the note that said:

"Rose,
If your reading this, then something terrible has happened. You probably hate me, and I don't blame you. I can only ask you that you trust that what I did with the age decree was better for your people then what others planned. There are some Moroi who want to force all Dhampirs into service, whether they want it or not, by using compulsion. The age decree has slowed that faction down.
However, I write to you with a secret you must put right, and it is a secret you must share with as few people as possible. Vasilisa needs her spot on the council, and it can be done. She is not the last Dragomir. Another lives, the illegitimate child of Eric Dragomir. I know nothing else, but if you can find this son or daughter, you will give Vasilisa the power she deserves. No matter your faults and dangerous temperament, you are the only one I feel and take on this task. Waste no time in fulfilling it.
-Tatiana Ivashkov"

That made my jaw drop in shock, and the words echoed through my mind in a haze. I was so~~ shocked and I had so many mixed emotions about such a big twist in the story!

All in all, 'Spirit Bound' was a great book that had lots of twists and turns. I know I left a lot of parts out, but I only wanted to write about the main events that happened in the book, and even now I didn't get to say exactly how I felt about them. I would suggest people read the series, but kids under 13 shouldn't be reading it due to the language and sexual comments. It's a great book for young adults, and pre-teens. I would suggest you read it.

That's all for today, thanks for reading my rant, and here is the cover for 'Spirit Bound.'
