Glad I got some solid points that round, but you suck for not acknowledging the undeniable truth that Carla Kihlstedt's voice is beautiful.

Finding acoustic things now.

Ah, struck out again!

I'll send later.

Typewriter solo bitches!

I've got the perfect song to send. I'll send it in the am!

Irish Rover

woot. Let's see if I have anything

Lolzeez · « **Reply #144 on:** June 29, 2013, 10:37:22 AM »

I'm gonna have to go back to my top 50 albums list. (Particularly number 5.) And then I will send. Cause some people said that they didn't like Neil Young. Lolzeez The Detective at your service.

Nekov, how do you feel about songs that are mostly acoustic but eventually have a heavier reprise of some kind towards the end of the song. Are those legal or does it have to be acoustic throughout?

Zantera · « **Reply #148 on:** June 30, 2013, 02:22:28 AM »

Song sent! Hope you will like it!

MoraWintersoul · « **Reply #149 on:** June 30, 2013, 04:47:02 AM »

Okay, does acoustic mean:
a) entirely an unplugged song
b) entirely an acoustic-guitar dominated song
c) A song where the acoustic guitar and/or other non-electric instruments have an important or leading role but there's bits of electric stuff going on too

I'm assuming that the first option is what he meant. But that last option seems quite cool.

Nekov · « **Reply #151 on:** June 30, 2013, 12:26:32 PM »

Option a would be the right one.

Acoustic throughout.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #152 on:** June 30, 2013, 12:41:27 PM »

I bet your diggin' the song I sent. I can play that song over and over.

MoraWintersoul · « **Reply #153 on:** June 30, 2013, 02:50:22 PM »

Sending something by one of the rare all-acoustic bands I know, I think it'll be your cuppa tea

Nekov · « **Reply #154 on:** July 02, 2013, 05:02:16 AM »

I have all songs. Results might come today but most likely tomorrow.

MoraWintersoul · « **Reply #155 on:** July 02, 2013, 05:44:28 AM »

This moves along at a really nice pace

how many more rounds?

Nekov · « **Reply #156 on:** July 02, 2013, 06:22:10 AM »

One more themed round and then a final open round

Zantera · « **Reply #157 on:** July 03, 2013, 04:21:58 PM »

Cool stuff.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #158 on:** July 03, 2013, 04:34:53 PM »

Can't wait to see the results!

Lolzeez · « **Reply #159 on:** July 03, 2013, 05:59:16 PM »

I'm hoping i can get at least a 5.

Round 7

Player: Morawintersoul
Artist: Harmaja
Song: Sydäntalvella
Review: Nice song. At first I found it difficult to like the singer’s voice cause I felt it was too deep for the song but upon a couple more listens I started enjoying the contrast. The instrumentation is quite nice, with nice guitar melodies and a very enjoyable piano. The song gains so much with the change of intensity towards the end that I feel it should last a little longer to have more enjoyment.
Score: 5

Player: Scorpion
Artist: Green Carnation
Song: The Burden is Mine... Alone
Review: A very sonic piece of music. I love how every new instrument or melody that’s added fits so well and smoothly. The wind instrumentation is particularly good providing much of the mood in the song and the guitar work by itself is a bit odd but in the greater scheme flows quite well.
Score: 6 + 1

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Player: Zantera
Artist: The tallest man on earth
Song: Love is all
Review: The song is quite beautiful and easy to listen except maybe for the singer, his voice drives me off a bit, way too harsh for this song.
Score: 4 + 1

Player: Shadow Ninja 2.0
Artist: Van Canto
Song: Last Night of the Kings
Review: Hmm, well, I must say it was a bit fun to listen to this but a capella stuff was never my cup of tea. They guys are quite good at why they do, I’ll give you that but it lacks something. Special mention to the female vocalist, such a beautiful voice.
Score: 3

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Player: UMH
Artist: Bright Eyes
Song: Make War
Review: There’s not much in this song that appeals to me, it’s soothing and very friendly but it seems to samey all throughout, and doesn’t have any element to make it shine.
Score: 3

Player: King
Artist: Dada
Song: Star you are
Review: Another song that is a bit meh for me. It’s sweet and relaxing but hasn’t got anything that draws my attention.
Score: 3

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Player: Windmaster
Artist: Vamp
Song: Tir N’a Noir
Review: Beautiful song. The guitar melody is very relaxing and enjoyable, the vocal melodies and arrangements are just perfect for the mood. I loved the mandolin and the flute, both of them added a nice touch to the song.
Score: 6 + 1

Player: Lolzeez
Artist: Neil Young
Song: Heart of gold
Review: I don’t think I get American folk music. The song is nice and enjoyable but it’s another case of lacking something that makes me want to listen to it again.
Score: 3

Awe rats. I really thought you'd like that song. I am going to pick one song for each theme and then pick the one out of those that I think will give me the best chance.

MoraWintersoul · « **Reply #162 on:** July 04, 2013, 01:18:08 AM »

I think I've sent Scorp the song he won with in his roulette... meaning, he likes it enough, so I'll take this as a badge of pride

Scorpion · « **Reply #163 on:** July 04, 2013, 02:20:19 AM »

Since you weren't in my roulette, I kinda doubt that, but I think it was still you that got me to check out Green Carnation's discog further than LoD, DoD, so thanks for that.

Theme reusal... I have to think on this.

MoraWintersoul · « **Reply #164 on:** July 04, 2013, 03:00:21 AM »

Whoa whose roulette was I on?

Nekov · « **Reply #165 on:** July 04, 2013, 06:02:20 AM »

Have you already been in so many that you can't remember?

I applaud you for not showing the restraint that I had and for saying what all the guys were (probably) thinking.
