Somewhat relieving  :laugh:

Good luck to those who've made it to the next round!  :tup

Spideynot not submitting Ozric Tentacles for this round really surprised me to be honest... and another player nailing the round with them makes it even worse   :lol

Also loney & Nek submitting the same song?? Whoa  :laugh:
You fanbois you  :-*

Sorta addicted to the Mystery man's reviews..  :lol will be following!  ;)
Thanks Rich for running this roulette! :tup

Not surprised I didn't make it, like I said I was at a total loss for this round somehow. Everything I could think of prior was stuff that I knew rich was already very familiar with. OH WELL

NICE!  I was on the verge of sending some Erik Norlander, but since I just used it in RJ's last time round, thought I'd mix it up.  I only have Revolution Road, and was mostly unimpressed.  But I just looked this track up on ReverbNation... not too shabby.

All right!  Now the real competition begins.

That versrion I sent from youtube was a re recording in 2007.  Check it out Chad.  It's better than the original.

Just re-read the reviews.  Mystery man's comments and ratings are as consistent as Romney's final two months of campaigning.  Comments from the songs that got a 2.5 score: 

"Definitely might have to check more of this disc."
"but not much memorable about it either."
"Not quite what we were going for with the theme, but not bad."
"...the best kind of keys... I like the dancy beat too ... Not bad at all."
"didn't like his tone, and the whole thing sounded very artificial in spots... Still it moved along pretty decent, so it was ok."
"Weird song. Also, it had keyboards but no rutting deer at least."
"Good, good, could have been a 3. Should really have been a 3"


And as for this week's theme (Heavy, but doesn't need to be metal)... inb4 RJ sends The Dead!   :lol

Glad you liked that Fury Abstract song, now time to blow your fucking MIND.


It was recorded by a kid who used to BROWSE THIS VERY FORUM. Remember Austin? Yep, him. And honestly, it's one of my favourite songs ever. Srsly.
I felt its length in quite a few places.

I've been trying to get a hold of that kid for months now because the song I sent came from an unfinished album/an EP, and I want to hear a final mix of the unfinished album so fucking badly.



Also sent my song. 420 blaze it #alldayerryday


EDIT: Oh am I no longer in this now? Oh well, sent a song anyway.

Mystery Judge seems to have mellowed out, his comments are far less vitriolic than they were in the first round, especially when comparing similar scores between the two rounds. Now what does that mean...  :justjen
