Audioslave is hard rock, noob.
Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?

:D Glad you liked it. I reckon you'll like FK in general, brilliant blend of fun, RAWK, and guitargasms.

And yeah, Audioslave definitely aren't metal. The metal did well in that last round, but then the cap was lifted. :P

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

Toni Iommi has three solo albums but "Fused" easily my favourite so I would recommend that one.

On one hand, I am surprised I won the round because The Fire and the Fury was one of my last choices for stuff to send you, but that's because all of my first couple of options you already knew. But on the other hand, I had a feeling I'd do well since I was tapping into your "metal" filled blood stream. And that song specifically as damn fucking :metal
I felt its length in quite a few places.

5 Points - Sigz
Skywatchers - The Curious Village
There are very few cases that I can think of where a music video actually enhances a song. This video takes the song and brings it to a whole new level of trippy. The soothing melodies and strangely discomforting instruments make such an amazing contrast. That, combined with the video imagery made this song one that's going to stick in my mind for quite a while.

4 Points - Ariich
Asia - Gone Too Far
Man, this is screaming "LOOK AT ME I'M A CLASSIC ROCK EPIC" right out of the gates. It's not a bad thing at all. There's plenty of epics that start out like this. I personally get a strong "Dream On" vibe from this one. The plucking melodies behind the vocals provide a great background for the vocals. The break into the (amazing) solo is pretty unique though, with the drum fill. I have to say though, that the first solo operates in the same way as Comfortably Numb's first solo. That is, lovely, but you're about to be completely shocked at the second solo. That solo is probably my favorite moment of any song sent in this entire roulette so far, and that's saying something.

4 Points - sonatafanica
Best Coast - Our Deal
I'll have to admit that I don't listen to much surf rock, let alone MODERN surf rock, but this is really awesome. I don't really think I could picture myself surfing to this music though. This is definitely "relax on the beach with a mermaid" kind of music, and it's one of the rare instances where music actually takes me somewhere within my own head. Such a simple song too. Amazing.

3 Points - KevShmev
Yes - Mood For a Day
Great little tune, here. The only Yes songs I'm really familiar with are Roundabout and Close to the Edge, and they're quite epic indeed. This is some really awesome guitar work. The melodies are very relaxing, and it still manages to be rather technical. I'll definitely have to explore Yes further if this is the kind of stuff I'm missing out on.

3 Points - AcidRainLTE
Tomahawk - God Hates A Coward
I really like this song. The atmosphere is just so dreary, and the bridge reminds me a lot of Dog Fashion Disco when they do whisper sections. I could see how someone might be turned off by the vocal style on the song, but I think it works really well for what it seems like the band is trying to achieve. The keyboard sweeps are awesome too. My only major gripe with this one is it built up so much atmosphere, and it just sort of ends. Could have gone on a bit longer, methinks.

2 Points - skydivingninja
King's X - Pretend
Ah, my love for The Jelly Jam has prepared me well for this song. I really love Tabor's vocals on the two Jelly Jam albums and on Connect the Dots off of 01011001, and knowing that he's in this band, I was really looking forward to some good old Ty, alas, he doesn't sing lead in this band. Shame, really. This song was pretty great though, and the chorus is quite infectious.

2 Points - lateralus88
Cake - Italian Leather Sofa
I'm pretty sure my ex-girlfriend liked this band. She never had me listen to any of it, but I can definitely see why she liked it. It's really bouncy, and the vocals have a strange quality. I'm not really sure how to describe it. The lyrics are quite hilarious, and are probably the best aspect of the song. As a trumpet player, I find it really cool that this band manages to have a trumpet player in a band and not sound like ska. It's definitely a cool song, but it's not something I could see listening to a whole album of it

1 Point - DTVT
Faith No More - Zombie Eaters
This is a pretty cool song. The buildup to the breaking point of the song is pretty forgettable, but when it gets going, this song gets good remarkably fast. Unfortunately, as with the other 2 Faith No More songs I've heard (Epic and Midlife Crisis), in that I like it, but I don't have much desire to check anything else out by them. There are some really great moments in this song (the outro riff kicks ass), but as a whole it's kind of boring.

The complaint you made about God Hates a Coward is remedied by listening to the album as a whole, I feel.

Obviously that couldn't be done for this but yeah.

If you want to check it out, it's from their self titled album.

Doug Pinnick (aka the LitS guy) is a much better vocalist than Ty.  I must be losing my edge, I've scored points these last two rounds. 

Alas, there's really no point in trying to win the next round if I'm getting kicked out anyway.  Maybe I'll send you something that will maybe help you realize that not all vocals above a certain octave are automatically "whiny" when they're not surrounded by swirling mythic metal.

I don't think that at all. If I really believed that, I'd absolutely despise Rush. It just so happens that vocalists like Claudio and the guy from Mew just sound whiny. It's not just because it's in a high register.

I had the same deal with Claudio at first too, but Jonas from Mew just has this beautiful, ethereal, magical, childlike voice that fits their playful and emotional music perfectly.

In my opinion, which it beautifully objective.

Whether a singer is whiny is not subjective.  It can bother me in singers, but I hear it in neither Claudio nor Jonas.

I find children to be whiny wastes of oxygen, so maybe that's just me.  :P

And how in the hell are whiny vocals not subjective? They sound whiny to my ears. You can say the same thing with guitar solos/riffs. e.g, "Man, that riff is so heavy". You might not think in the same way.

You should have dissuaded me from sending FNM if you knew you didn't like it.

Man, I'm in freefall these past few rounds.
