[Discussion Thread] Music and cubing

[not_kevin]

Linkin Park.

me too! AMEN!

Mike Shinoda FTW! And Chester, too. Him on "Given Up" scares me...

 

[Alex DiTuro]

Electronica. Especially Iris, KMFDM, Apop, Funker Vogt, and VNV Nation

 

[hooboork]

Simple Plan, Linkin Park, 30 Seconds To Mars, Sum41, U2...

I cube best when watching tv. The Office and How I Met Your Mother rule.

I noticed when I was cubing today that my turning speed increased a lot! I ended up with a 15.62 average of 12, a 13.69 average of 5, a 48.92 PLL time attack, and a 12.22 single (OLL skip)!!! When I got this, I was listening to As I Lay Dying, which has a fast tempo (at least the songs I was listening to). anyway, the music stopped and I didn't bother to change it. Then my average spiked up from the 15.62 to an 18.94 average. On the last solve that I did, I turned the music back on and my turning speed went fast again.

Yeah ive noticed this sort of effect as well. My guess is that it would work best with fast beat rock or loud music. On a side note i also have noticed that I solve a lot faster when im sitting around in a noisy room talking with someone.

Actually I noticed that it does work better with faster music.

I think music affects your cubing. It makes me more relaxed. Anyway I put my music on and got a 13.89 average of 12. So I think it works.

lol there have been a lot of threads about this stuff.....personally, it depends on my mood. i never listen to loud stuff though...I LUV J-POP

 

[PeterV]

I listen to a lot of As I Lay Dying and have noticed that the fast paced music can get you motivated to move a bit faster while cubing.

I manage to break the 20 second barrier two years ago when I started covering Lamb of God songs (Hourglass to be exact, I'm on guitars BTW).

 

[ImNOTnoob]

But when i listen to slow music, my lookahead increases, but my tps slows down.

McWizzle94; I just really got into a band called August Burns Red. If you like AILD, they'll be right up your alley. Great for cubing music as well.

I was also checking out your youtube page. Kutless, Red, Demon Hunter; all great bands!

I tried listening to August Burns Red, I just don't really like them that much. Do you know of any other songs besides Composure that are good?

I only have the "Messenger" album (for now). I love the entire album, but some favourites are The Truth of a Liar & Redemption (and Composure, of course).

Nice some metal, I thought I'd never find any other cuber/metal fan. Now only if I could find someone as avid of a metalhead as I. Oh another thing, get full metal albums, seriously. Metal has a consistency like no other, or at least real metal does, not that mainstream crap. If one song is good, the rest is going to be good. You may not find that all the songs are good on a freakin Trivium album, but like an All That Remains album, amazing. Take ATR as a recomendation as well by the way.=]

I find that to be true. I pretty much like everything from 'The Fall of Ideals'. I can't say anything about other bands because I haven't really listened to everything. anyway, have you heard of Inhale Exhale? They are a really good band. My new favorite song is "A Call to the Faithful"

Yeah, but I can't say I'm a fan. Do you listen to any death metal? Or just like melodic metalcore, cuz that's what I'm seein.

Put on some Festive Overture.

yeah me too, when I listen to loud music which has fast beats then I tend to cube faster.
