@Nushnushganay I feel the same way about the pastel colours and really wanted some rich, high contrast colourful stuff as well. I'm from Finland, so maybe that's why the chosen colours just feel wrong to me. The reason for the colour palette though is that people voted for the pastel style, this was a community voted stuff pack. What didn't you like about the metal station? Curious because it seemed passable to me. It was really funny because my boyfriend who listens to a lot of metal knew some of the bands.
You inspired me to give a solid listen to all the songs on the metal station, and I stand corrected, only two of them strike me as something that isn't what I'd call metal, and I think I just had the misfortune to hit them first. Not that they are bad, but The Hu's Mother Swan song when I heard it, sounded like beautiful Mongolian throat singing, and kind of an updated folk song but not metal to me. I listened to more of their work and while I like it, it's just not metal, to me.
And the other one was Myrkur. It sounded like Enya with a few bits of metal stuck on here and there as a decorative accent.
But I'm sure opinions vary as do noses and not dissing other people for having a broader understanding of what metal is and isn't, than I do. I'm probably limited and biased. But I'll also turn those two songs off my metal station folder, because they kind of interrupt the vibe I'm after when I turn it on.
