Here are the long-awaited results.
Best song (5 points):

jsem: The Planets: Mars, the Bringer of War - Gustav Holst
As I said a while ago, I'm a noob to classical music. And oh my god this was just beyond epic.

This had one of the absolute coolest uses of 5/4 time I've heard in my life and the build up was just droolworthy. This was definitely what I was looking for.

High tier: (4 points):

DTVT: Sleep and Dream - Battle of Mice
I really liked the singers voice here. She had a weird, sort of unique feel to her voice which really added to this song. The quieter parts she really succeeded in setting the mood for and she alone made this song a great one. The lyrics were pretty weird, which is a plus for me of course.

TheVoxyn: The Battle to Heaven - Mono
Never heard of these guys before, but this is why I love post-rock. They make you wait for their build-up, but oh boy is it worth it. The repeating melody in this one set the perfect mood and the build-up was very nice. Awesome song.

Medium tier (3 points):

ariich: Keep Breathing - Redemption
I'm pretty sure I've heard something from these guys before. Anyway, what can I say but it's just an awesome, epic prog metal song. The build up is gradual and effective. The vocalist is very nice, and I like the whole band in this one.

Gorille85: Pour More Oil - Her Name Is Calla
This song was beautiful. The build-up was really awesome, too. Another band I've never heard word of before, but I really don't understand why, as this is some really awesome music. I really liked the vocalist here too. Great song.

Medium low tier (2 points):

dtismajesty: Hesitation Waltz - Demians
Pretty damned good song. I've heard of Demians quite a bit, but never got anything from them. There's some pretty good music going on here and the build-up was also really nice. I liked the vocals as well.

zxlkho: My Debt to You - The Pineapple Thief
Yeah, so, this song was nice. As expected, they have their Radiohead and PT influences and are a nice, accessible, alt-ish prog band. This was a pretty good song, and I've always admired this style, although sometimes it works more than others.

Bottom tier (1 point):

The King in Crimson: Wake Up the Dead - The Pineapple Thief
So this one is a lot like My Debt to You in the things that make it work. Nice song, typical of their style, but I felt My Debt to You just worked better. It's funny, I've been sent 3 songs from these guys this roulette, which all I thought were okay. Yet I love the album Little Man, which I own. Bad luck I guess. Sorry guys.

DTVT: 27
Gorille85: 26
ariich/YBS: 26
zxlkho: 25
jsem: 23
dtismajesty: 22
TheVoxyn: 22
The King in Crimson: 21

Round 9:
The second last round. I want something with good drumming.

Damnit, I thought you would love that song.

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #181 on:** April 06, 2011, 08:46:34 PM »

Awesome to see my Her Name is Calla campaign catching on, at the very least. I was considering sending them, but I thought you'd like this one better!

I sent this song to SDN in his roulette... hopefully he likes it better than you do.

It was really close. Took me quite a while to decide which I liked better.

The Thief is not faring well in this roulette.

Damn, I thought you would like that song. "Wake Up the Dead" is one of my favorites of theirs.

ariich · « **Reply #185 on:** April 07, 2011, 12:45:05 AM »

Oh man, jsem's submission was a great choice!

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #186 on:** April 07, 2011, 04:41:52 AM »

Yay, not bottom or almost bottom tier.

I never really focus on the drumming though, this is going to be tough.

I can probably come up with some ideas, but this is another area you're bound to have some good stuff in!

It was between two tracks, but I chose the less cheesier track. For apparent reasons.

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #192 on:** April 09, 2011, 12:44:29 PM »

crap...as a keyboard and guitar player, drums aren't something I routinely listen for, and the examples that come to my head are definately things you would have heard.

I'll try to get mine in tomorrow night.

zxlkho · « **Reply #195 on:** April 10, 2011, 11:37:43 PM »

I sent.

Fuckballs that was hard. Here's hoping this one garners more than 1 point.

ariich · « **Reply #197 on:** April 14, 2011, 03:37:43 AM »

So this thread is really prompt these days.

Did you receive songs from Letters and dtismajesty before they got banned?

YtseBitsySpider · « **Reply #198 on:** April 14, 2011, 05:16:13 AM »

they've been reduced to only temp bans right?
But still...now we have to wait through a couple temp bans for this roulette to finish?

Unacceptable.

They have indeed, but it shouldn't hold things up, I can easily get their submissions to LLTWM by speaking to them on facebook. Fear ye not!

YtseBitsySpider · « **Reply #200 on:** April 14, 2011, 06:45:53 AM »

Well thank goodness.....for da facebook.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #201 on:** April 14, 2011, 03:25:38 PM »

That's true. I was thinking of waiting up, but if FB works... I'll try and get it up tonight.

Anyways, tonight for sure guys. My computer was being stupid with playing music and videos last night. $:-\$

PFFT YEAH WHATEVER WE KNOW YOU HATE US

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #206 on:** April 15, 2011, 11:15:52 PM »

Best song (5 points):
jsem: Dodge the Dodo - Esbjorn Svensson Trio
You're on a roll!

Anyways, yes the drumming was awesome. It was cool sounding technically while also working as a great moodsetter for the song. The piano was great, and this song just sort of entranced me. Awesome.

High tier (4 points):
zxlkho: Geek USA - The Smashing Pumpkins
So I like the Pumpkins. Never heard this before though, and it was really really good. The drumming was indeed awesome and I really liked the guitar solo as well. The singer (always forget his name. His last name is Corgan, right?) I've always liked too.

The King In Crimson: Blood and Thunder - Mastodon
Okay I've heard this song once or twice. I also used it in Numbers' roulette because my friend was listening to it with me present and I thought it'd be a good send. Anyways, I'll let it slide. This is a really good song, and I've never realized how awesome the drumming was until now. It also has a really cool riff, which I always loved.

Medium tier (3 points):
DTVT: Dark Corners: Bozzio Levin Stevens
I can't believe I've never heard of these guys, as I recognize two of the members. Anyways, this song probably had my favourite drumming of the sent songs. Seriously, what a fun as hell listen. This is some great jazzyness, and I'll have to listen to them more often.

dtismajesty: Above - Intronaut
Probably second best by judging the drumming. The music is really good too. Yet another band I've been meaning to check out for quite some time now. This song got so good towards the end.

Medium low tier: (2 points)

Gorille85: Music is Math - Boards of Canada
I still need to digest the whole of the electronic genre I think. Still, this song was great. The drumming was used very atmospherically here, so it works really well with the song.

ariich: Spiral - Bozzio Levin Stevens
Another song by these guys. It was the guitar that truly made this song, but the drumming worked too. A lot more calm then the other BLS song, but also good.

Bottom tier (1 point):
TheVoxyn: My Twin - Katatonia
So this song had a pretty good chorus I think. I like the singer too. But the verses didn't really stick with me at all. Sorry.

DTVT: 30
zxlkho: 29
jsem: 28
Gorille85: 28
ariich/YBS: 28
dtismajesty: 25
The King In Crimson: 25
TheVoxyn: 23

FINAL ROUND: Alright, last round.

As I started this game with long intros, this round is dedicated to great outros! Not long, but awesome!

Lets go out with a bang.

Definately check out Intronaut, I thought about sending one of their songs as well.
