To broaden my musical horizons - Part 3

A few days have passed, and it’s time to evaluate your music "critically" once again.

Important: https://app.warera.io/user/6813b751efecdf9bab194aab and https://app.warera.io/user/6813b75befecdf9bab1952c4 explained the ins and outs of South American music to me. As a European, I simply hadn't understood it. After six hours of Netflix documentaries and a one-hour YouTube video, I see things differently and can likely make a better assessment now.

Let's go!

Heading in a new direction right away—electro/dance? I’d classify it as festival music.
It’s not something I need all the time, but it’s definitely good to listen to now and then.

Along similar lines—I think I understand the kind of music you like. Again, leaning towards electro or EDM. With vocals and a bit more melodic than the first one.

Phew, I’m really struggling to find something to say here; unfortunately, I don’t like it at all. It sounds pretty boring and repetitive. Luckily, music is a matter of taste.

Your last submission was so much better.

Interesting—a genre of music I couldn't quite place. It sounds interesting in its own way, and also somewhat catchy.

So now I know how to categorize Argentine rock music; it sounds surprisingly good, and I’m getting used to the Spanish.

I think I actually know it. I like it—it's melodic and makes for a really enjoyable listen for me.

A song from a game—funnily enough, I recognize it even though I haven't played HI3. In my opinion, it’s a real banger. You can think what you want about game music, but it’s actually pretty good.

I’d say it’s rock again—a bit more laid-back and featuring good vocals. Unfortunately, though, it doesn't really grab me.

Drum and Bass hasn't been represented here yet, either. I can certainly appreciate that kind of electronic music to some extent. I really liked the vocal sections— without vocal about them struck me as annoying.

Damn, I like it—just give it a listen. You’ve got me hooked; it’s going straight onto my playlist.

Witty text—definitely worth a look. Though that’s mainly because I understand the German text.

Hey, I really like this too. I listen to a lot of rock music and I'm realizing there are some really cool songs out there. Playlist material... probably time to put together my Spotify rock playlist.

Just so you get some input from me, too: my 9 out of 10 metal song is Beast in Black – One Night in Tokyo.

Thanks again for the many submissions; I’m happy to continue this series. Feel free to share this article with the world—the more cultures and the more diverse the music, the better.

Part 4 will be coming in 2–3 days.
