ROUND 4 RESULTS!
Lonestar: Silent Memorial - TV World
When I saw the topic, I was actually expecting some kind of prog/power/speed metal type deal, so this wasn't too far off from what I had in mind. Musically it was pretty cool, and this isn't really the kind of stuff I normally go for anymore. As with the other prog metalish stuff I've gotten this roulette, the vocals were kind of offputting - I just don't dig that operatic metal singing like I used to. However, the chorus was really good, and there were some great riffs throughout the song. I actually dug the solo section at the end too.
Music: 3/4
Relevance: 3/4
Total: 6/8
Orcus: Bang Camaro - Rock of Mages
For starters, I lol'd heartily at the song title, it was an absolutely perfect choice. Like with the last song, it was pretty much along the lines of what was in my mind with the theme. Musically however, it didn't do a whole lot for me. It wasn't a bad song by any means, but to be honest I'm not really inclined to check them out further, at least based on this song.

Rich: Foxy Shazam - Teenage Demon Baby
I've heard a few Foxy Shazam songs before, but never really got into them. This song was probably the best I've heard so far, but at the same time, it didn't really blow me away despite being a ton of fun.

LieLow: Gogol Bordello - Supertheory of Supereverything
I was on the fence about accepting this because I've heard a decent amount of Gogol Bordello (well, one album). But, I didn't know the song or album at all, so whatevs. As for the song, it was a ton of fun - definitely the kind of stuff I've been digging a lot in this summer. I wasn't sure about how topical it was, but between the pseudo-science lyrics and the electronic bits I'd say it's pretty relevant. Good submission

ClairvoyantCat: Holy Other - Held
Totally not what I was expecting, but a perfect pick. Definitely felt relevant to the theme musically, and the song itself was excellent. I don't have a whole lot more to say about it besides that I'll definitely check the rest of the album out.

Ravenheart: Mind.in.a.box - Amnesia
I'm heard a few songs of theirs, but never really got into them a ton despite sounding like that would be right up my alley. This particular song was kind of the same - I enjoyed it, and stylistically it was totally my jam, but it wasn't something that really got any hooks in. Musically it was definitely appropriate to the theme, however.

jingle.boy: Ayreon - Eyes of Time
I've heard The Human Equation before, and with a few exceptions I didn't really dig it. This particular song was kind of the same - something about the mix of operatic metal male vocals and female voices really doesn't sit right with me. It's not something I'd usually have a huge problem with, but I feel like it's just a result of Ayreon's songwriting style. Thematically though, it definitely fits. Also, I dug the synth runs and guitar solo in the last minute or so. Overall however, not really my kinda thing.

Nekov: Tori Amos - Cars and Guitars
Well, it was only a matter of time before you didn't send something that rocked my socks off. I've never really heard Tori Amos besides her cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit (which is actually quite good), but this really did not sit with me at all :/ Between the kind of grating countryish vocals and the Points for the relevant submission however.
