Mkay, so about the alternate option...

ReaperKK · « **Reply #176 on:** October 11, 2012, 06:40:17 AM »

Alternate option will be to send me something with no percussion whatsoever. No drums or electronic beats.

Elite · « **Reply #177 on:** October 11, 2012, 06:47:10 AM »

Sent by PM, please tell me if it checks out or not.

Ooh. Interesting one. I'll see what I can do.

Scorpion · « **Reply #179 on:** October 11, 2012, 08:18:58 AM »

I'm taking a huge gamble with this, but stick with the song I already sent you.

Scorpion · « **Reply #180 on:** October 12, 2012, 11:53:54 AM »

How are we on this, Reap?

ReaperKK · « **Reply #181 on:** October 12, 2012, 02:13:28 PM »

Pretty good, I was working on it a bit today so results tonight if all goes well.

Nekov · « **Reply #182 on:** October 12, 2012, 02:18:51 PM »

Awesome!

Elite · « **Reply #183 on:** October 13, 2012, 03:05:06 PM »

Give them to me.

Scorpion · « **Reply #184 on:** October 13, 2012, 03:15:08 PM »

Resultz nao, pl0x.

Nekov · « **Reply #185 on:** October 13, 2012, 03:32:45 PM »

I don't think everything went well...

ReaperKK · « **Reply #186 on:** October 13, 2012, 06:38:53 PM »

New results! With added bonus of Sigz missed rounds.

Round 7 Results!!:

Round 5 - Sigz - Portico Quartet - "Ruins" 9 points

First Listen: Great song, really great, a chill song with a great horn section.

Subsequent Listens: Loved it more and more, really a great pick!

Round 6 - Sigz - Battles - "Dominican Fade" 8 points

First Listen: Nice tune! Something I can dance to and also and instrumental which works well for this type of song.

Subsequent Listens: I'm really, really curious to hear more music from these guys and see what else they have up their sleeve.

Nekov - Florence And The Machine - "Remain Nameless" - 10 points

First Listen: I have a lot of friends who are huge fans of Florence And The Machine so I'm eager to hear this song. Her voice is incredible! I love this song! This is exactly the type of stuff I was looking for this round.

Subsequent Listens: At first this song got a 9 but after more listens it's getting a 10, it's amazing.

Xanthul - Portishead - "Mysterons" - 7 points

First Listen: Nice, chill haunting song.

Subsequent Listens: Good song and I like it but I wish it had a little more something too it.

Zantera - British Theatre - "Defeat Skeletons" - 8 points

First Listen: Good stuff, fits the theme perfectly. I love the way the vocals are mixed in the song, probably the thing that grabs me the most.

Subsequent Listens: Initially a 7 point song but I tossed in another point simply because of how the song grew on me. Can't wait to hear more material.

Kari - FM Belfast - "I Don't Want To Go To Sleep Either" - 6 points

First Listen: If this song was a bit shorter it would've fit perfectly in the previous round. Very happy up-beat tune. I like it but I feel it'd get old pretty old quickly.

Subsequent Listens: Good, but the subsequent listens did more harm then good.

Ravenheart - Diary Of Dreams - "The Curse" - 7 points

First Listen: Holy shit it's Rammstein, at least that's what the first 20 seconds reminded me of.

Subsequent Listens: Catchy as shit and it's an interesting song.

Sigz - Zola Jesus - "Vessel" - 8 points

First Listen: The female vocalist really drew me into the song, she really makes it a wonderful song to listen to.

Subsequent Listens: While good the song feels like it's missing something to make it great. Still a good score tho.

Ultimetalhead - Daft Punk- "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" - 6 points

First Listen: I've heard this song before but never really listened to it. I've definitely explored older Daft Punk and didn't like it. This I do like.

Subsequent Listen: Good but I don't know, it just doesn't really grab me in, feels long too.

Elite - John Butler - "Ocean" - 9 points

First Listen: This guy sounds so much like Trace Bundy, it's crazy. I dig the song. If you look at my last.fm I'm a huge fan of finger style guitar.

Subsequent Listens: Just a great tune. I don't know much about John Butler but I'm going to check more of his stuff out.

Scorpion - Depeche Mode - "Precious" - 7 points

First Listen: Strong song, fits with the theme well.

Subsequent Listens: Great on me a bit with more listens, I really like it!

Scores:

Nekov - 56
Zantera - 53
Ultimetalhead - 52
Kari - 50
Sigz - 50
Elite - 50
Xanthul - 49
Scorpion - 48
Ravenheart - 44

Round 8 - Final Round!

Alright guys so this is my final round and it's pretty much an open round but there are a few rules:

- I want new music, so the band's first release has to be 2007 or later.

- I want three tracks but they have to be from the same album and they have to be 3 tracks one after another.

- If it's a concept album you're sending me, say Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence you can send me "pieces" of a whole track say the song SDOIT and you want to send me tracks 2,3,4 that's fine as long as they are split up on the album I'll take it.

- Each song will be graded from 0-5, additional points can be earned if the songs flow together well. To make things a bit more fun I'll also give an additional 3 points to anyone who can guess their total score (for the three tracks) for Round 8.

Any questions ask!

Nekov · « **Reply #187 on:** October 13, 2012, 07:39:49 PM »

I think you are killing me here. I'll check if I have something that is so recent but I doubt it.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #188 on:** October 13, 2012, 08:20:05 PM »

Sent. Shit's getting intense.

Scorpion · « **Reply #189 on:** October 14, 2012, 02:10:59 AM »

Sent. I have zero chance at winning, but oh well.

Elite · « **Reply #190 on:** October 14, 2012, 02:54:57 AM »

Whelp! You'll get mine soon, but I have to find something first.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #191 on:** October 14, 2012, 06:30:19 AM »

Holy shnikie! Zander at the bottom of a Roulette?!??!

Isn't that the eighth sign of the Apocalypse?

ReaperKK · « **Reply #192 on:** October 14, 2012, 09:27:47 AM »

Guys don't forget to submit your guess for your total score for round three for a possibility of additional points!

Nekov · « **Reply #193 on:** October 14, 2012, 12:34:47 PM »

Sent.

Scorpion · « **Reply #194 on:** October 14, 2012, 01:04:38 PM »

Sent the additional information.

You know, if it wasn't for the first album in 2007 rule, I would have totally sent the first three tracks from F# A# Infinity.

Xanthul · « **Reply #195 on:** October 14, 2012, 02:31:55 PM »

I only have three eligible albums that meet the 2007 criteria, and all three of them are in my "to-do" list so I will have to listen to them to know what to send.

Some harsh requirements around here.

Scorp, I already sent GY!BE (Moya, in the second round) so you still couldn't have sent it

Elite · « **Reply #196 on:** October 14, 2012, 03:40:15 PM »

Can you please extend it to 2006? I have some of the perfect stuff to send, but they all have releases in 2006.

Also, can it be a solo album from a musician or a new project of one, although he has been in bands way before 2006? For instance, would Steven Wilson (solo stuff) be a possibility to send?

EDIT: Last question; can it be a band I (or someone else) already sent?

Elite · « **Reply #197 on:** October 14, 2012, 03:53:11 PM »

Fuck it, sent! 100% confident in my picks

Zantera · « **Reply #198 on:** October 15, 2012, 02:40:41 AM »

I have to think for an hour or two, but will send later today.

Xanthul · « **Reply #199 on:** October 15, 2012, 04:21:56 AM »

Sent, I'm quite happy with the submissions considering they're new to me too.

Zantera · « **Reply #200 on:** October 15, 2012, 03:33:21 PM »

Songs sent. Had to send as 2 emails because there was a limit of 25 MB per email and it went just above, but I hope that's okay.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #201 on:** October 15, 2012, 05:43:59 PM »

No worries on the multiple emails, going to start listening tomorrow, hopefully results by the weekend!

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #202 on:** October 23, 2012, 07:04:41 PM »

*whistles a merry tune*

ReaperKK · « **Reply #203 on:** October 24, 2012, 06:26:13 PM »

Haven't forgotten about this, just been crazy busy, I'll have it up later tonight or tomorrow.
