Yeah, but the tardiness of both myself and James might delay the writeup process. I mean, he said he had most of the rankings figures out already, so our lateness might cause him to re-evaluate and/or re-listen in order to properly rank them.

But, now we're all ready so it's up to Brother now.

Just got back from a friend's place.

I want to listen to each song at least twice before making a decision.  I've done write-ups for everyone but Space and James.  Will get that up in less than two hours.

Man, these roulettes are the best. Every time results go up, I get a little adrenaline rush. It's awesome.



I lead a boring life, and these are my excitement.

Nah, I agree.

I pretty much have 3 bands/songs I know I want to try, so I just have to hope no one sends those bands before I do.

First off, thanks everyone for your submissions.  Just from reading around DTF, it's evident that mostly everyone here has an incredible musical library, and there is a great amount of diversity.  Admittedly, I am not musically diverse or appreciative at all, and my goal is to branch out as much as I can.  This song roulette game will really help me do this, so....you 10 are going to be a major part of my musical history!

I wrote the commentary as I was listening to the song, so that's why it might seem a little discombobulated.  Some of the write-ups are longer and some are shorter, but that doesn't impact how I rate the song.  It's difficult to think of much to say when a song is short, simple, and sweet.  But I hope that's OK...Anyway, here you go. :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS

73109 - Devin Townsend - Earth Day

Hmm...very majestic intro.  Pretty good so far...Booting up the lyrics…what the heck? Lol.  Well…you told me not to take the lyrics too seriously.  But looking past the lyrics, great.  He’s got a great voice, and there’s some great harmonies there.  Lots of variety.  Also some pretty gnarly riffage.  The constant references to beets and recycling make me recall this:  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLsOS362hkM

3 Points.


Nic35 - Karmakanic - Two Blocks From The Edge

This is what I’m talking about--a nice lovely prog song.  About two minutes in and it’s great. Sax is great, too.  The vocals are tolerable but I’m not crazy about them.  Looking at their Wikipedia page and they are a fairly new band…very cool.

Good song, good band I’ll hold onto for sure…the only thing is it didn’t completely blow me away, and it dragged a quite a bit.  Almost a 4, but I have to give you 3 Points.


jsem - Supertramp - School

Whoa, harmonica.  And clarinet.  Love the Dogs-like style at 1:25.  Hmm…this is like an upbeat Pink Floyd with innovative Beatles instrumentation…I like it!  Nice mix, too; real prominent bass.  At 3:20, and I am digging it…very groovy.  Almost a little Latin sounding.  The best part is this melodic bassist.  Totally digging it.  Dude, thank you for this. At first, it sounded a little different from the really heavy stuff we always listen to, but I thoroughly enjoyed this.  5 Points.


The Letter M - Kino - Losers' Day Parade

Ok so far.  Intro is on the verge being mindblowing.  Love the offbeat guitar at :30.  Cool vocalist. I like this drummer, too.  And of course, Trewavas.  1:25 and the song is picking up.  There’s that offbeat guitar again.  Not sure what to make of 2:20...let’s see where they go with this.  Old phonograph effect.  Oh, there we go with heavy prog riffage.  3:15 makes me happy.  Whoa, female vocals!  Loving this song…like you said it’s not in-your-face shredding, but still very catchy and enjoyable.  6:15 is very interesting..hmm.  Soothing vocal harmonies at 7:15.  Whoa, nasty nasty chord to close the song…intriguing.

Some parts are a little draggy, but some are simply magical.  Close to 5 points, but I have to give you 4 because the song did have some dragging flaws.  4 Points.


DTVT - The Dear Hunter - What It Means To Be Alone

Wow, they really throw you right into the song.  Ah…hate to say it but I’m not a fan of the vocals.  The instrumentalists are good, and the drummer has got style.  But I hate to say it but this is really not my thing.  The vocalist kinda kills it for me, sorry.  1 Point.


dethklok09 - Green Carnation - The Boy In The Attic

I listened to a different album from this band from Sigz’s top 50 albums thread.  I really like their style…this song sounds like it could have been played by a very mystical Tool/Sonata Arctica.  I think I will give out 3 Points.


dtismajesty - Demians - Shine

Lovely.  Guitar is beautiful.  Vocals in…don’t know if I’m a fan of them.  But ambiance is great.  I like that heavy transition at 1:45.  Ambiance again at 2:50.  I like this guy.  Good submission…3 Points.


hefdaddy42 - John Wesley - Velvet Dreams

Peaceful.  Great voice, too.  Ahh…I’m just sitting back and getting absorbed.  Nice violin.  Pleasant song…not much to say more than that. But very atmospheric—I love these kinds of songs.  4 Points.


Space Invader - Suspyre - Reign

I just have to say, overall , this is a weird song.  Weird structure.  But I like it!  Instrumentation is cool.  Sax in…very cool, I must say.  Good vocalist too.  You have those neoclassical Symphony X vocal harmonies too.  This song is all over the place.  Weird weird riffs, sounds, and solos left and right.  I honestly don’t know what to make of this song.  Part of it gives me that epic rush, but part of it just makes me want to go insane…literally.  3 Points.


Jamesman - Future of Forestry - Hills Of Indigo Blue

Ooh, interesting submission.  Drums are pretty groovy.  Vocals in.  Ahh…not digging the dreamy floaty style, I hate to say.  Lyrically, I am not the biggest fan of Christian lyrics in most cases.  So…I would give this song a 1, but instrumentally, these guys are innovative, though.  While the vocals are OK, I really just don’t dig that soft-spoken style in most cases.  So I give you 2 Points.

Can we turn in our Round 2 submissions now? Or do we have to wait? Also... deadline?

By the by, this is really fun! I like some of the familiar choices I see among the Round 1 Submissions! I'm glad you liked mine, and I suggest you check out the rest of their debut (and so far only) album - there are some great cuts on there and the album as whole probably sits somewhere in my Top 50 albums...maybe even 40.

I was thinking about doing this but I was hesitant because I didn't want anyone to feel like their song was worse than other people's.  Ranking stuff seems kinda cruel, in a way.  But if you want me to do it that way next time, I will.

You can send in your submissions for Round 2 now.  New deadline is Feb 2.

I thought I would not have a problem finding something for you, but right now, I have so many ideas because when you say, "not prog, under 7 minutes" that is basically 90% of my collection, so this is basically an open round to me, but it is even harder because I can't send any prog. I will make up my mind and send something tonight.

How much of a factor are the vocals for you? I know for some it can make or break a song. It seems like that may be the case for you.

Good vocals don't make a song, but bad vocals can break it.  If that makes sense.

Narrowed down to 7 songs. Just need to decide if I want to go with the proggy non prog, or go with something classic, or something that isn't either.

Brother H,

What are your thoughts on metal / harsh stuff?  You say you like Opeth, but it doesn't really fit in with the rest of your favorites.

Uh...but by scoring them aren't you already doing that?

You don't have to rank them per se, you could just organize them highest to lowest scoring.

I doubt.  Probably only a handful of people know I like this album, and those that do probably forgot I like this album.  It's not something you would associate with a big prog/metal guy, and it's not something I would have sent to you in your roulette numbers.
