Man, the hard part is deciding which one to send. After comparing your last.fm to my iTunes, I have it down to several choices.

@Lat: Hey now, I assumed he'd probably heard Lande before, but that doesn't necessarily have a bearing on the quality of the music. The last 2 rounds are the ones I've thought of as my riskiest, but apparently it's paid off.

BRING IT ON DTVT!

I was more picking on the fact that UMH and I have an almost identical taste in music in terms of what we already listen to.

Ah ok, yeah that makes sense.

AcidLameLTE · « **Reply #179 on:** February 21, 2011, 01:53:22 AM »

The topic title is misleading.

ariich · « **Reply #180 on:** February 21, 2011, 02:02:00 AM »

Yeah Justin fails, the semi final was round 7.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #181 on:** February 21, 2011, 10:43:09 AM »

What the hell are you talking about. Can't you guys read?

ariich · « **Reply #182 on:** February 21, 2011, 03:27:31 PM »

Quick question: If a band has only one listen on your last.fm, can we send them?

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #183 on:** February 21, 2011, 03:36:43 PM »

It depends. PM it to me and I'll tell you.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #184 on:** February 21, 2011, 03:38:00 PM »

Listen Justiain, Ariich's going to send you some Muse and you're going to be fucking pleased about it.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #185 on:** February 21, 2011, 03:38:42 PM »

If you send me Muse, you will lose.

See, it even rhymes!

skydivingninja · « **Reply #186 on:** February 21, 2011, 05:44:43 PM »

Because you suck toes.

I don't give a fuck if I rhyme or not!

ariich · « **Reply #187 on:** February 22, 2011, 03:48:53 PM »

AGH I CAN'T DECIDE BETWEEN MY OPTIONS

EDIT: Ok, I sent one. No idea how I'll do, but hopefully you like it at least!

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #188 on:** February 22, 2011, 04:34:39 PM »

Just send Muse so I can win.

Also, sent. I don't know how much of a risk this will be, as much as its something I don't think UMH would expect from me.

ariich · « **Reply #189 on:** February 22, 2011, 04:38:35 PM »

Best of luck, old chap. May the best man win!

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #190 on:** February 22, 2011, 04:43:26 PM »

When you pick your album, PM me what you sent and I'll PM you what I sent.

Also, I know you tried to send him Silent Waters. I had the same thought as well

I've sent it already, PM on its way.

Awesome. Although I don't think I ever mentioned Silent Waters specifically, so I've no idea how you knew that!

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #193 on:** February 25, 2011, 05:26:40 PM »

I'm pretty busy as of late, so it might be a few more days before results are in. Sorry. $:-\$

ariich · « **Reply #194 on:** February 25, 2011, 05:32:31 PM »

No worries, take your time dude. I take it my third attempt at a submission was fine?

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #195 on:** February 25, 2011, 06:10:43 PM »

Yep. Listening to it right now.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #196 on:** February 25, 2011, 07:20:01 PM »

What was your third submission, having the advantage of knowing what I sent? (I sent Cynic - Focus incase anyone else is wondering)

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #197 on:** February 25, 2011, 07:52:55 PM »

It's Haken - Aquarius.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #198 on:** February 25, 2011, 10:18:55 PM »

Battle of debut albums. I like both albums, so the real winner is UMH.

ariich · « **Reply #199 on:** February 26, 2011, 03:51:30 AM »

Yeah sent Aquarius in the end. One of my favourite albums!

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #200 on:** February 27, 2011, 05:14:30 PM »

Ariich
Haken - Aquarius
This album is just awesome. I've heard tons of praise for these guys this past year, but never really cared enough to check them out. Foolish move on my part. This is some really good, unique progressive metal. The songs are epic, the vocals are top notch, and the musicianship is just plain out of this world. This is a band with a lot of potential, and I can't wait to see what they do with this stuff.

DTVT
Cynic - Focus
Another band that I've heard plenty about, but never bothered to explore. I'm very well aware of the acclaim this album has received, and now I can finally say I know why. This is some very insane music. The vocal interplay between the growling and the...clean-ish(?) vocals really makes this band interesting. Of course, it's not all heavy and straight-forward. Textures has such awesome bass soloing over the quiet guitar. Overall, this album ripped into my inner death metal fan and demanded me to obey.

So, without further ado, the winRAR is.....

DTVT

Amazing job to you both. You guys definitely deserved to be in the finals with all the awesomeness you have bestowed upon me. Though DTVT has won the roulette, Rich sent me my personal favorite band from this roulette, The Cat Empire. Congratulations, men. You've done very well.

ariich · « **Reply #201 on:** February 27, 2011, 05:19:23 PM »

Schweet, glad you liked it so much!

Haken should have a new album out later this year, hopefully I'll get to hear a song or two from it when I see them live in a month.

Congrats DTVT!

I really need to check out Focus, I have Traced in Air which is pretty good, but most people consider Focus a lot better.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #202 on:** February 27, 2011, 05:21:52 PM »

Really Justin? You never heard Focus before? What kind of prog/metal fan are you? Seriously. God you fail so much.

Anyways, so I can start my roulette now/soon, right?

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #203 on:** February 27, 2011, 05:23:00 PM »

You listen to Coheed.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #204 on:** February 27, 2011, 05:25:37 PM »

But I'm not the one calling myself "Ultikindaprog/alternativerock/metal/awesomehighvoiceshead."

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #205 on:** February 27, 2011, 05:27:11 PM »

Yes, but I doubt you've ever skydived in your life, nor are you a ninja.

That said, is it so impossible to miss one classic album in a sea of thousands?

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #206 on:** February 27, 2011, 05:27:38 PM »

Thanks, good game Rich. I'll have to check out The Cat Empires...any suggestions where to start?

Not when you imply that you are the ultimate (or at least the Ulti) metalhead and typically prove yourself to be so except in this case.

Oh, and you know how Buddy Holly's plane crashed? That was me. It was an accident, but we got "American Pie" out of it, so its not all bad.

Either the song "Fishies" or the album "So Many Nights"

So...I'm unaware of one classic album? I think you might be slightly bitter. You can't really call me a failure when you performed so poorly in the roulette.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #209 on:** February 27, 2011, 05:53:26 PM »

You've listened to Focus. Surely you know what a crime it is that you hadn't listened to it before now?

And I only performed so poorly because you fail.
