Okay, so write-ups are going to be a bit short because I quite frankly can't be arsed.

5 Points - DTVT
The Dear Hunter - What It Means to be Alone

Just an excellent song here. Vocals are definitely the highlight of the song, but the instrumentation is fabulous as well. The chorus melody has been pretty much relentlessly stuck in my head since hearing it yesterday.

4 Points - KevShmev
Calexico - Minas de Cobre

Ole! Very good tune. Incredibly catchy, and I'm a sucker for these types of songs.

4 Points - sonatafanica
Bright Eyes - Waste of Paint

Another song that screams indie. Why am I not surprised? I do share your sentiments about the message of the song. Definitely feels like the ultimate creative block songs.

3 Points - Ariich
Jeff Buckley - Grace

Really good vocals. I can see how Gildenlow was influenced. I didn't see much in the way of musical similarities, but perhaps it's similar in the way that it really doesn't seem like much at first, and needs time to sink in. Not much stuck out on this one, I'm afraid.

3 Points - Sigz
Emily Wells - Symphony 2 & The Click Click Boom

Very interesting song. I don't think I've ever heard anything remotely like this. I like the girl's voice quite a bit, and the violin is a great touch.

2 Points - lateralus88
The Hold Steady - How a Resurrection Really Feels

I like the guitar tones quite a bit. It's got a 70s vibe, almost. I dig it. The singer's voice is pretty good as well.

2 Points - AcidRainLTE
Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart - Muffin Man (Live)

The chorus is pretty good. I know the verses are supposed to be funny, but meh.

1 Point - skydivingninja
Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire

I swear I'm not doing this on purpose.  :lol It's just most definitely the least memorable of the tracks.

Sonatafantica - 9
DTVT - 9
Ariich - 7
KevSchev - 6
Sigz - 5
Lateralus88 - 5
AcidRainLTE - 5
SkyDivingNinja - 2

Round 3 - OPEN AGAIN WHAT A SURPRISE

BTW, glad you liked The Dear Hunter.  I wish I would have found out about them earlier so I could have gotten in on the lifetime membership package they had earlier.

And yes, this song was stuck in my head the first time I heard it...and it gets lots of "rewinds" when I listen to this album.

You got lucky with that chorus melody. SDN might have won 2 points if your song didn't have that.

Aw, only two points for The Hold Steady  :\. Oh well, maybe next round will prove better for me.

EDIT - Song sent.
I felt its length in quite a few places.

I'm the same Matt, I was thinking of sending TDH in a later round, but it's presumably off-limits now! :(

Glad you dug the Jeff Buckley though. I guess the musical similarities aren't immediately as there's no metal in his music, but some of the songs definitely have a similar vibe to PoS, if that makes sense.

Also dammit more open rounds!

the violin is a great touch.

Now that's pretty cool.

Oh yeah, and any band that gets three points or more is off-limits for sending again.

Sigz, where do you keep finding stuff like this? It's amazing!

DISCLAIMER: This round, much like the first round, was alarmingly strong, and even the lowest scoring song is pretty awesome. Don't get too upset if you did poorly, because everyone wins this one.

5 Points - AcidRainLTE
Audioslave - Show Me How to Live

I'm really not sure why I haven't checked these guys out sooner. My favorite part of Soundgarden is the vocals, and my favorite part of RATM is the riffs. This song was pretty much destined to win the round. That main riff has the classic RATM feel, that is, heavy and groovy as fuck. The vocals are appropriately awesome. Cornell's such a beast, especially in the chorus. Another song that's going to be stuck in my head for quite a while.

4 Points - DTVT
Enchant - New Moon

First off, let me just address you on a personal level, DTVT. You are on a fast-track to winning this roulette if you continue to hit me with material as awesome as this. I'd pretty much call this THE line between progressive rock and metal. It makes perfect sense why the singer would be one of your favorites. He's amazingly good. My true praise on this song goes to the guitar player though. That was one hell of a solo. Hearing the bass is always a plus as well.

4 Points - lateralus88
The Mars Volta - Son Et Lumiere/Inertiatic ESP

This is a really great song. The intro track as it were does perfectly to set up the mood, and when the electric guitars kick in, it's a great release. The vocals are pretty awesome, but he's got kind of that girly quality that I'm not too fond of. Luckily, it goes away. Not too much to say about this one. Very solid track.

3 Points - Ariich
Deep Purple - Vavoom: Ted the Mechanic

First off, these riffs are awesome. Second, I adore the feel of the song. It's got a great 70s vibe, but it was done in the late 90s. Very admirable. Lots of catchy melodies, especially the guitar melody right before the solo and Ian's ridiculously high note. The solo's not too shabby either.

3 Points - sonatafanica
Modest Mouse - Bukowski

You're quite right. The lyrics definitely add to the song. I was pretty weary on this song, since I've never liked Modest Mouse very much, but this was a pleasant surprise. I'm not really sure why I like the song so much. I can't really pick out any individual parts that stuck out to me more than anything else, so it must just be that the sum of the parts turned out to be great.

2 Points - KevShmev
Fleet Foxes - Your Protector

This is definitely a song I could see in a Western. The song has a very soothing quality to it, mainly due to the vocals. Again, I can't really pinpoint why this is such a great song, it's just another one of those "because it is" scenarios.

2 Points - Sigz
Made Out of Babies - Silverback

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" indeed. I was never big on Battle of Mice, and Julie Christmas was a pretty big part of why, I'm afraid. She's a great singer, but her good vocals don't fit the music, and the vocals that do fit the music aren't that great. Still, a part of me really likes this song for some reason. It could be just the general insanity factor.

1 Point - skydivingninja
Peter Gabriel - Red Rain

God dammit.  :lol If you had sent this song last round, you probably would have easily scored in the upper tier. Repeating my above disclaimer, this song is really great, it's just not as great as the others, and it's a very thin line indeed. Very ambient and atmospheric. I dig it.

DTVT - 13
Sonatafantica - 12
AcidRainLTE - 10
Ariich - 10
Lateralus88 - 9
KevShmev - 8
Sigz - 7
SkyDivingNinja - 3

ROUND 4: A THEME?!? HOLY SHIT!!

Alright, so for the next round, I think we'll actually have a theme. As you should all know, I'm a guitar player, and a big part of music to me is the guitar work, so for the next round, let's have a song with awesome guitar work. It can be a riff, a solo, a melody, whatever. It just needs to be awesome. Since metal as a genre is also very fond of the guitar, I'm going to lift the cap on no-metal for this round only.
