Round 3- The girls took over the place
Player: MoraWintersoul
Artist: Elfonia
Song: Nuestro Descanso
Review: Well, Marcela’s voice is quite soothing and beautiful and suits this song perfectly however I found it to be a little too calm for my taste. I can’t really criticize what’s done in the song because I think it’s a well crafted song but again, not my cup of tea
Score: 3
Player: Lolzeez
Artist: Curved air
Song: Marie Antoinette
Review: Viva la Nacion! This was a fun song both because of the lyrics and the music, this being a well rounded classic prog with nice melodies and arrangements. The vocalist is quite good and though the voice is a little weird it fits the style of music quite well. The only down part is the middle when they stop and come up with something quite different, while it’s interesting it’s too unconnected.
Score: 5 + 1

Player: King
Artist: Sarah McLachlan
Song: Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
Review: Man, this woman can sing. I have encountered feelings here cause the music is a little dull but that sets a perfect scenario for her to show all her attributes. Not all the music is dull though, there are some nice guitar solos and the backing keyboards generate a nice atmosphere.
Score: 5 + 1
Player: Windmaster
Artist: Luna Mortis
Song: Ash
Review: Some nice metal here with strong riffs and a solid bassline. The drums are a little overplayed at some points but overall a good job is done. Now coming to the vocals, the singers voice is beautiful which brings me to the question, why the growls? So unnecessary. That brings the song down for me.
Score: 4

Player: Shadow Ninja 2.0
Artist: Heather Dale
Song: Mordred's Lullaby
Review: Another strong submission. The whole song is based on the dark mood that it generates and which is perfectly contrasted with the flutes. Another strong singer that seems to be very capable and does exactly what the song calls for at all times.
Score: 6 + 1
Player: UMH
Artist: Akphaezya
Song: Chrysalis
Review: As you said in the email, it’s amazing how versatile this woman is and how easily she changes styles. Unfortunately the rest of the band can’t keep up with the awesome. There are some great passages in this song but again it’s another case of the song being too unconnected and just drifting through different styles without spending enough time in each section to develop something worth of being remembered. And again I ask the same question, why the growls? Her normal voice is extremely beautiful.
Score: 3

Player: Scorpion
Artist: Dresden Dolls
Song: Mandy goes to med school
Review: I received a song from this band in one of my prior roulettes and I liked it a lot more than this one. The singer’s voice is quite good and a bit uncommon, at least to what I’m used to, but the music itself is quite uninteresting really, way too repetitive for it’s own good
Score: 3
Player: Zantera
Artist: Beach House
Song: Other People
Review: I felt so relaxed every time I listened to this song and it also made me smile which is always good. In this specific case the singers voice doesn’t stand out but it merges perfectly with the instrumentation. A soothing yet happy atmosphere is generated, supported by some simple drumming and nice keyboard melodies. I will have to check this further cause it goes right down my alley
Score: 7 + 1
