Ok guys, just got home and gonna call it a day. I'l post the results tomorrow when I'm in the office.

Okay. I'll be leaving home in about 2 hours, so this means I can't send you anything until Monday afternoon (my time).

Results


Player: Lonestar
Artist: Beautiful Sin
Song: Not the original dream
Review: Very nice tune. I loved the singers voice, I loved the simplicity of the song overall. The melodies were nice, there were some nice contrasts between the main part of the song and the chorus. The solo was a little meh.
Score: 5

Player: Wolfking
Artist: Trillium
Song: Machine Gun
Review: Kind of boring tune. The singer was good but the music was just plain ol’ metal, nothing much interesting. There was a nice break before the solo but that was about it for me.
Score: 3

Player: LieLowTheWantedMan
Artist: PJ Harvey
Song: Let England Shake
Review: This song has a weird but very likeable mood. Again a good singer but a very different kind of approach, it blends much better with the rest of the music.
Score: 6

Player: Kari
Artist: Air
Song: All I need
Review: Very ambient and smooth song. Easy guitar notes here and there, really smooth drum base and nice keyboard background and arrangements though it gets a little stale by the end.
Score:   4

Player: Ravenheart
Artist: Tori Amos
Song: Winter
Review: Her voice is really beautiful and this song is very touching. The piano is wonderful and the background arrangements are fantastic too. When the song was getting a bit boring in picked up and delivered a more powerful feeling.
Score: 6

Player: Ariich
Artist: After Forever
Song: Energize me
Review: This song is pretty solid, nice vocals and melodies overall but it doesn’t stand out really.
Score: 4

Player: Elite
Artist: Eisley
Song: Mr. Moon
Review: Very easy to listen song, nice vocals, nice melodies and an overall relaxing mood. Nothing stands out to me about this song but it’s a nice listen.
Score: 4

Player: jingle.boy
Artist: Nemesa
Song: Afterlife
Review: The voice of the singer sounded a bit unnatural to me except in the quieter parts of the song. As far as the music, it was not very interesting.
Score: 3

Player: Gorille85
Artist: Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows
Song: Do you know about the water of life
Review: I didn’t dislike this song but it was too weird, I wasn’t able to catch its drift.
Score: 2

Player: ReaperKK
Artist: Tori Amos
Song: Marianne
Review: See review for the other Tori Amos song
Score: 5

 , this was almost my choice.  Great song.

Diego didn't think so.

Hmm happy song, and I've already used Moon Safari!

[Nekov]

Hmm happy song, and I've already used Moon Safari!

I know, that song would fit this round perfectly.

[ariich]

Yeah exactly.

I know which artist I'm going to send, just trying to decide which song, aaaaaahhhhh!

[jingle.boy]

Player: Ariich
Artist: After Forever
Song: Energize me

 , this was almost my choice.  Great song.

Diego didn't think so.

Tastes.  Not everyone has a good set of 'em.   

[Nekov]

Regarding that, you should quit wining Rich, you are only 2 points behind the leader.

[ariich]

I know I'm just being silly.

Sent!

[Gorille85]

oh well

[Nekov]

oh well

Dude, I seriously like the way you are playing the roulette. The other guys are playing it very safe but you are going out on a limb every time and I think that's probably the best way to get the highest scoring songs, you just haven't nailed it yet 

[lonestar]

[jingle.boy]

1/5 of a nickel.

Still missing the reaper and Zander has to re-send. It shouldn't be very long

Edit: Elite aslo needs to resend

[Elite]

Crap, I just saw your e-mail.
Alrighty, let me find something. Coming in a bit. What would it have gotten though?

Edit: Sent! Something different.

[wolfking]

Sent mine.

'The other Rich' is forgiven since he was away all weekend.  Keep the rest of your mignon's in line!

[Nekov]

Reaper is travelling around Europe so I'll be lenient on him.

[jingle.boy]

meh.  Vacations are for losers.  We need some help to crack the whip.  We have just the person for Kay



All I can say is he better be layin pipe since he's over there.   

I'm in one fucked up mood right now!  Hope I'm not pissing too many people off.   

[ReaperKK]

Reaper is travelling around Europe so I'll be lenient on him.

Thanks, I sent something earlier today by the way. I'm settled in a country for the time being and I won't be doing much traveling until Friday.

[Nekov]

Got your song. Still missing Zander's resend.

[Ravenheart]

Sent. Sorry about that.

[Nekov]

Awesome. And you didn't miss anything in my RYM list, that band is not listed there.

I should have the results up tonight.

Results


Player: jingle.boy
Artist: Lighthouse
Song: One fine morning
Review: Nice funky beats here. Again a use of wind instruments that I actually enjoy so that’s a plus. I feel like it drags a little bit at the end but nice fun tune
Score: 5

Player: Gorille85
Artist: Foxy Shazam
Song: Oh Lord
Review: This was fun to listen to. I’ve seen the name of this band around before but never checked them. The voice of the singer is a bit hard to get used to but after a few listens it clicked really well with the rest of the song.
Score: 6

Player: Ariich
Artist: Frank Turner
Song: If I ever stay
Review: It took a while for this song to get a little interesting. The beginning was boring but towards end it builds up nicely, and then again fucks up at the end. It didn’t seem very cheerful to me.
Score: 3

Player: LieLowTheWantedMan
Artist: Gogol Bordello
Song: Wonderlust King
Review: This is not my cup of tea. It had some good string arrangements here and there but overall the music was not very interesting and the singer’s voice was annoying.
Score: 2

Player: Lonestar
Artist: Blind Melon
Song: Change
Review: Cool song. It’s simple, easy to listen and cheerful. Nothing special with it really.
Score: 4

Player: Kari
Artist: Eels
Song: Beginner’s luck
Review: Well, the singer doesn’t seem very cheerful here, actually the song altogether doesn’t sound up-lifting to me.
Score: 1

Player: Wolfking
Artist: The Magnificent
Song: Holding on to your love
Review: This is the odd one out. You actually went with metal and I must say you nailed it. Nice melodies, the keyboard is used wisely and having Michael Eriksen is a plus.
Score: 6

Player: Elite
Artist: Magic Pie
Song: Endless Ocean
Review: What a beautiful song. It all falls together perfectly, nice melodies and very good vocals. Soothing yet touching.
Score: 7

Player: ReaperKK
Artist: 10 Years
Song: Focus
Review: I really liked the percussion on this one and it goes very good with the melodies. Even though the song is short I felt like it changed a few times but stayed very consistent.
Score: 6

Player: Ravenheart
Artist: The Cure
Song: Doing the unstuck
Review: This band always struck me as too dark so I never really looked into it but it seems they can go with a more melodic and uplifting side. The singer still sounds depressed but the rest of the song is nice and uplifting
Score: 5

[wolfking]

Booyaa!  I finally nailed one. 

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

[wolfking]

Come on bro, sweet 16, it's not all that bad. 

[jingle.boy]

I'll take that finski!  Ever notice how AFTER you submit a song, you think of at least 3 or 4 more that might've been better? 

*tip of the cap to wolfie*.  Nice choice there.

Know exactly what band/album is up, just need to narrow down the song choice.

[wolfking]

Thanks Chad.  No idea what I'll send next.
