I can't send over 10 mins. If I could,I would send The Seer just to fuck with him.  :rollin

It's not from Symphony X. And It's not When All Is Lost.

He did indeed send me a Symphony X song.  I had to reject it since I've heard that album already.

Given his clear distaste for 80s, that would definitely put you over the edge.

Alright, everybody's sent.  True story:  Lolz sent in a Mars Volta song (which, of course, I already know) and a Zappa song.  I haven't heard that particular Zappa song, and it seems sort of a weird choice since I talked about liking Zappa in my most recent write-up, but I'll go ahead and give it to him just to save everybody's time and money.

  • Hello! My name is Elder Price
Alright guys, here are the results for round 4.  Sorry about that delay -- the good news is, it won't be happening again, since my summer internship is coming to a close and I'll have a lot more free time soon.  So we'll be able to continue at our quick pace immediately. :millahhhh  More news:  the majority of our players voted to play 8 rounds, which is more than I was planning, but it's what the people want, so what the hell.  8 rounds it is.

Alright, so I wasn't as into the submissions this time around.  The standouts were more clear, though, which means I get to finish this round with a clear conscience.

7. Ninja's submission:  Anthriel - Devil's Library:  Nope, this is not my kind of music.  I don't care for power metal at all.  This sounds exactly like Symphony X, which didn't bode well for Ninja, because I don't like Symphony X.  Maybe I should have hinted at that when I said I was familiar with the Symphony X song that Lolz sent me.  Oh well.  Anyway, speaking of Lolz...

6. Lolz's submission:  Frank Zappa - Willie the Pimp:  I said I liked Zappa before, and I think some of his music is pretty cool, but I didn't enjoy this song too much.  Kind of long and repetitive without offering me anything musically interesting to latch onto over the course of the closing 5-minute instrumental. 

5. Scorp's submission:  Myrath - Silent Cries:  Scorpion apparently disobeyed my 10-minute rule.  Shame, shame.  This song was alright.  Interesting melodies, and the musicians are very talented, as one would expect from a prog-metal band.  The bassist's grooves in particular really impressed me.  However, I'm unsure the song's content warranted the extra length (especially considering that extra length was against the rules of the round).  At times, this one gets sort of slow and boring.

4.  DTVT's submission:  Amorphis - Silver Bride:  DTVT makes his first foray into sub-3rd place territory with this song, which I would call merely "good".  There are some catchy melodies (the chorus is kinda cool), but on the whole I just couldn't get into it.  Might have something to do with the vocalist, whom I didn't really care for.

3.  chef's submission:  Kingcrow - The Hatch:  This one is really cool.  A lot of very different sonic textures and ideas come together in a really satisfying way over the course of these 7 minutes.  I really love the chorus and its groovy drum beat, and the whispered section at 2:30 is really cool too. 

2. Elite's submission:  Magic Pie - Endless Ocean:  Silly band name, great song.  Love the overall vibe and the vocal harmonies especially.

1.  jingle's submission:  Presto Ballet - The Chemical Age:  Oh, hell yes.  This is some really tasty prog.  Really strong songwriting, great instrumentation, beautiful harmonies, just a really great track all around.  Cheers, jingle.

Now for the standings:

1. DTVT - 85 + 0*20 = 85
2. Lonestar - 55 + 25 = 80
3. Elite - 65 + 10 = 75
4. Jingle - 45 + 15 = 60
5. Ninja - 40 - 15 = 25
X. Scorpion - 15 - 15 = 0
X. Lolz - 1 - 1 = 0

Scorpion and Lolzeez are dead.  Thanks for playing, it's been fun, you two.  To our remaining five players:  the scoring is being scaled accordingly, so now only the top 2 players in each round will win back their bets, with the bottom 2 players in each round losing their bets (and, of course, the 3rd place player winning nothing).  Please keep that in mind.  Round 5 starts now.

:footloose:  Shoulda bet more.  :newman:

So, by saying 'halfway there', is it 8 rounds?

Sweet man, I'll send when I get home. Might be time for the kill shot....

Whereas Lolz and Scrop already fired off the 'money shot'.

Oh well. Not like I was expecting anything different, I can't seem to hit your tastes. And I had forgotten about that 10-minute rule. Shame on me.

Don't be sad, Lolz & Scorp, you both sent in some great tunes.  You just weren't great enough on average. :)

Choosing a song now, I've been away from home for the past two days. It's 8:30 AM here now and I've been awake for 4 hours already on just 1.5 hours of sleep. No, that was not voluntarily, but you're getting the song(s) before you wake up again.
Hey dude slow the fuck down so we can finish together at the same time.  :biggrin:

Ah, you're awake! Well, I just sent :)
Also, glad you liked the Magic Pie song! Competition surely gets more interesting now with less people in there. And we have some very good contenders left. This is going to be good!
