Post an average track

Share the most average track you know. Solid 5/10 stuff.

Winning submission wins a mid-range prize!

is my link not in my signature?  throw a rock you'll hit an average track. but what scale we're working with here? 

I like this idea:

https://bleep.com/release/104160-autechre-nts-sessions-1-4

Edit: except for xflood - that one's above average. Belongs on the else-q things imo.

I'll play:

5 points for bringing the electro on a g rap album, 4 points for a pretty sick groove, 1 point for that orchestral burst sample thing @1:01,  -2 for being mediocre, -1 for some cheesy lyrics,  and -2 for paling in comparison to earlier electro stuff I've heard. solid 5/10.

Excellent thread idea.  So far only the NWA track has been a perfect 50% for me.  The Chilliwack track started off so average I was busting a gut laughing, but then the vocal performance and drumming were well above average bringing it to at least a 6.  Mummy Calls is remarkably bad imo, impressively so.  I don't know how you find this shit, goiter.  T69 Collapse was a nice bait.

Hmmmm... perfectly average, that's a tough one...

Ahh, What I Got by Sublime just kind of exists with nothing offensive or good about it.  It's pure wallpaper.

...oh man it's so much of nothing it might have to be less than 5/10, tough call.  It is a lot more boring than average tbh... but only because it's so average.  Fucking paradox.

3. Mind blown, 'what i got' is so incredibly average. It's like it toggles in a state between a 0 and a 5, but when you observe it, it's always a 5.

 

Haha, well put.

Nearly 12 minutes of noodling standing still and getting nowhere extremely slowly.  Average.

So average that my eyes were imagining the waves in the video actually moving so I could have something more interesting to focus on.

Well damn I wanted it to be average, not outright bad! I have failed.

I hope you will all find this one offensively average bordering on bad. I really liked eczem's rubric above so I will attempt to apply it:

5 points for some interesting ideas with the swirling panning flute, organ & tremelo'd guitar in a few parts, lyrics are veiled middling philosophy about growing up which is a perhaps a step-up from singing about a girl or love so 4 points for that. -2 for shocking mix decisions at times (especially muddy/neutered bass section) and -2 for uninspired chord progression which leaves me feeling an emotional flat-line.

i may have misjudged.

the 'most average' is like the blackest grey

lol nah man, those unexpected production flourishes on the instrumental sections go far and beyond any expectations of average.  Took me quite by surprise.  The vocals and chord changes are right on the money though.  But unfortunately this is more of a 6 or even 6.5.  I think you're on the right track though.

Ooh, controversial.

Behold, the most average mid-90's rock hit you could ever hope for:

fixt

Think: what might you sing along to once you've had your complimentary one pint of domestic beer at a generic community festival in your local town centre? See over there, there's an inocuous cover band on a stand next to the MLM stalls and the paramedic tent?
