Round Three -- Late Result --

LieLow
Chiasm - Still


Yikes. This is dark done exactly how it should be. It was literally almost creepy in its tone and atmosphere, and the vocals were really really haunting. The song itself was pretty great too, but seriously, chills came from this song. It really kept me wondering what was going to happen, yet nothing dramatic ever came from it. It was just eerie. But that was the theme, so awesome job!

4/5

---

---

Round Four

MoraWintersoul
Amesoeurs - Heurt


Well, this song definitely felt pretty autumn-y, so you win the bonus points! However, it didn't really excite me that much as a song. While it was good in general, nothing really popped out and made me go WOAAAH. However, I really liked the instrumentation. The vocals didn't really stand out to me as being that great, but like I said, the atmosphere was sweet, and the instrumentation was great!

3.5/5 + 2 = 5.5

---

Lolzeez
Harmonium - Depuis L'automne Paroles (Words Since Fall)


Sweet stuff! This song had some really beautiful parts to it and it kept me interested for the most part. There were a few sections that didn't really make me think I liked the song, but some of the other sections really brought it up. Overall it really did feel like fall and I thought that while things could have certainly been improved, it was a really cool song. Yessir.

3.5/5 + 2 = 5.5

---

Zantera
Gregor Samsa - Even Numbers


I think the biggest thing that hurt this song was that I've heard it previously. Otherwise, I loved it. The melancholic sections, the beautiful vocals, the post-rock atmosphere... you weren't lying when you said you were going to send more post-rock I see! Haha, still, this song was really good, and it felt very winter-y in its atmosphere and tone. Unfortunately you only wagered 2 points-- I think this deserved 3. Either way, good stuff. Way to go!

4/5 + 2 = 6

---

crazyaga
Talk Talk - AFTER THE FLOOD


This song was really cool! I didn't love the vocals, but the rest of the song was quite interesting. I can definitely see why these guys are heralded with innovating the post-rock sound, too! This atmosphere was really cool and while I wouldn't immediately guess spring as the season this would represent, upon further listens I found myself agreeing. Sweet stuff, bro!

3.5/5 + 3 = 6.5

---

Scorpion
Sentenced - Awaiting The Winter Frost


YES. This song was so sweet! The black metal-tinged vocals behind a sort of thrash metal fused with black metal style was really cool (albeit done before) but this was still really good! There was a fantastic guitar solo that really kept me engaged and the guitar itself was awesome throughout the song. The harsh vocals were well done and the atmosphere itself was very enthralling. The song certainly felt like winter to me!

4.5/5 + 2 = 6.5

---

Elite
Spock's Beard - All that's left


Well now. I've heard a lot about these guys but never really thought to check them out. I really liked the vocals, which, honestly surprised me! That sort of timbre to the voice usually turns me off, but it's really good here! Awesome stuff! My favorite part was probably the "where I'm going... where I've been" section near the end. It was actually really cool. I definitely think it felt like autumn as well, so great pick dude!

4/5 + 3 = 7

---

kari
Múm - Green Grass of Tunnel


Oh my, this song was just gorgeous. I was mesmerized the entire time. The song was uplifting, powerful, and it just soared with emotion. The vocals were so soft and soothing yet full of force, and the song kept me engaged throughout the entire thing! The soundscapes created by this song are just awesome, and I'm really glad you sent this to me. Icelandic bands really do have something special, and this shows it. The text file you sent me was corrupted but I believe it said the season was spring and the points wagered were three? If not, then I don't really care, it deserves the extra recognition. Awesome song!

4.5/ + 3 = 7.5

---

LieLow
The Zombies - Care of Cell 44


Oh mannnnn. THIS SONG WAS LIKE hey look we're going to sound like the Beach Boys! And they did it! BUT it still sounded original for the most part and it was a great song. It was upbeat and engaging and it was literally fun to listen to. Definitely a happy atmosphere and it definitely sounds like the artists themselves were enjoying themselves making it. To top it all off it felt like I was sitting in a beach chair sipping some exotic drink while I watched girls play beach volleyball. The summer wager was a great one, dude! Awesome song.

4.5/5 + 3 = 7.5

---

WindMaster
Oakhelm - The Way of the Bleeding Bark


Oh man oh man oh man you almost did it, WindMaster! You almost sent me a five-star song. Everything about this song was sweet-- from the atmosphere, to the riffs, to the harsh vocals, I was just enthralled. If I had one thing to say negative about this song, it was that at the end it ALMOST overstayed its welcome. But still-- it was such a powerful song, and it evoked the feeling of the before-wagered season of winter very well. The song is very climatic and I loved so much about it. So close!

4.5/5 + 3 = 7.5

---

STANDINGS:

LieLow - 19.5
WindMaster - 19
kari - 19
Elite - 18
Scorpion - 17
MoraWintersoul - 16
Lolzeez - 16
Zantera - 15.5
crazyaga - 15.5

Well now! This round was awesome! Sorry for the lateness of the hour-- I've had a week that was quite... well, long. And hard. And easily perceivable as a penis joke. However-- this round really showed that I picked the right people for this roulette-- I liked EVERY single song. Every song matched the season you all picked, which is awesome, too. Overall I think you guys really stepped it up this round. I mean seriously, three 4.5's? That's great. Let's make it all 5's next time, mm'kay?

Anyways, now for the fun part:

ROUND FIVE

The theme for the wonderous ROUND FIVE will be...

WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?!

...what? That was your reaction. Tell me it wasn't. This round was kind of crazy in my head, and it seems even crazier on paper (or forum whatever don't look at me like that.) Anyways, this round will feature the three wonderful options that the contestants on that particular show are given-- that is, 50/50, Ask the Audience, and Phone a Friend! Now Adam, that doesn't make any sense! Well, here, let me lay it out for you:

50/50 - With this option you can send me two songs. Whichever one I like better will be the one I pick. However, the songs must be by the same artist, which limits it a bit and makes it a bit more challenging!

Ask the Audience - Well, I'm sort of the audience for this roulette, because I'm watching as you guys do your deeds trying to please me. That makes me sort of an audience, right? Well here's what you can do-- you can PM me with a song and literally ask me if I like it. No matter my answer, you can then send another song, or stay with the one you originally picked. It's kind of like 50/50, but with early confirmation from me whether or not I like the song. However, I will not tell you HOW much I like it, either. I will respond either yes, or no. This leaves ambiguity, making it up to you to decide whether or not you send another song. It also gives the no's another opportunity to send me a song I might enjoy.

Phone a Friend - Literally. PM another forum-goer and get them to send me a song they might think I'd enjoy. In their PM they must specifically state who they are PMing for (i.e. if MoraWintersoul asks lonestar to PM me a song, lonestar would have to say "I'm sending this song in place of Mora...") This perhaps could give someone else who may know my tastes (or who has been judging them) a chance to get you some points, too! Who knows. Also-- if the particular person doesn't go to this forum, he can e-mail a song, too! It's open to everyone. Ever.

EITHER WAY-- this round is literally all fun and games. Pick an option, do it, and have fun with it, seriously! You can send me anything, there's no theme, but make sure you do pick a Millionaire option. I've never seen something done like this (maybe it has?) but I thought it might be interesting and a way to make you guys really throw out stuff that I've never heard of and may possibly enjoy.

The due date will be Wednesday, once again, February 27th, at 11:59 EST. If this doesn't work out, like always, we can work around it.

Anyways-- awesome round last time, and good luck with this one. And let me know what you think of this idea-- it's goofy, yes... but I like it! :biggrin:

YAAAAAY. All That's Left is beautiful and I love it. Glad you liked it too :) It's actually kind of an oddball in Spock's Beard's discography in the sense that it's melancholic. Most of their material is very uplifting. I said this to Milena too after I sent the same song in hers; if you need a guide to get into them, I'll be there :D

I'd just like to point out that there were four submissions that got 4.5/5, and kick myself for not wagering the full three points.

Will send soon.
