ROUND 2 RESULTSZantera: The Tallest Man On Earth - Love Is AllI'm not a big fan of these vocals. But I gotta admit,the song is freaking beautiful. I like the lyrics and everything. It's just that the vocals could be better. I heard that people compare him to Dylan. Well,I'm not a fan of Dylan. But I liked this. Just "liked".
7/10
LieLowTheWantedMan: The Tallest Man On Earth - Leading Me NowOh this guy again… Well,more competition is always fun! The vocals here are a tad better. I prefer this over Love Is All. But still,I don't get what's mind blowing about this.
7.5/10
Scorpion: Al Di Meola - Mediterranean SundanceI know this song. But I can't blame you for sending it. I rarely listen to Al Di Meola. But,this is good. It's a little more on the wankery side but still,I like this guy's work. I'd say that this was a really safe choice. But It worked. Good job.
8.5/10
Senecadawg2: David Gray - ShineSounds good. That's really it.
I like his vocal work. It's better than TTMOE that's for sure. And yeah…
8/10
Ruba: Bruce Dickinson - The Arc Of SpaceWow. I never thought Dickinson's voice would fit this kind of music… Well,It does. The intro was nice and the short guitar solo was nice too. Well,your score is gonna be a little higher than the previous round that's for sure,but I wouldn't call this a discovery just yet.
8.5/10
?: Antimatter - A Portrait Of A Young Man As An ArtistI've already listened to two albums from this band. But they didn't click with me. Now,I feel like an idiot. This is an awesome song. It really is. And so far,the best song I've received this round. Thanks Ville. I'll give this band a more serious listen sometime. But It's not going to the "discovered bands" since this isn't the first time I heard this band. Let's see if they click this time.
9/10
Jingle.Boy: Everygrey - Madness Caught Another VictimYou were right. The vocals are indeed hit or miss. It's kinda what made the song and what killed it. The song is okay. I didn't mind it,but I didn't "like" it. I wasn't moved by it.
6/10
Rattlehead: Thrice - Stare At The Sun (acoustic)Believe it or not,I had heard the original version like 5 minutes before receiving your submission. And I prefer this version. It brings much more emotion to the song and everything. Now I'd add these guys to the "discovered bands" list but um… I'm alrea- No. Fuck it. Thrice is on the list even though this isn't a score more than or equal to 9/10. Cause I want some other bands and I already started to check out more from this band.
8/10
Nekov: Vamp - Tir N'a NoirErrrr… I like it. I don't think I can say anything more.
7/10
Elite: Magic Pie - Endless OceanI liked it. There really isn't much to say about these songs… I really liked when the drums came in though.
7.5/10
Onno: Rammstein - LosI like the way they used the word "Los". Very poetic eh? Well,the song was good but there's one thing with Rammstein that I can never like. The vocals. It's just ugh. It's not cause it's not english or anything. It's just too um… low pitched. But the song was good. Sadly the vocals dragged it down for me.
6.5/10
Dr. DTVY: Andy McKee - DriftingWow. This guy has some major talent. But I have one problem. I think the song could have been better if it was just the guitar as well,a guitar! Now it's impressive,yes but still,It can be way better if all the percussion was removed. But still,the gimmick was cool and the song was good too. 1 point extra for being acoustic as fuck.
7+1/10
MoraWintersoul: Sonata Arctica - Mary LouOkay,I've heard this song before. I remember liking it. And I still like it. The lyrics are kinda weird but I don't care cause the vocals are really too nice. This is really close to going on my list but I'm not a big fan of the band to begin with. I guess you made a good song choice from them.

THEME FOR ROUND 3!Post something. But not THAT post.
Post Rock
Post Metal (Bands like Neurosis,Rosetta,Isis,Cult Of Luna,The Ocean and more. And please don't post those bands. I've already listened to those bands and like most of them. New bands please.)
Post Hardcore
Post Punk
Send me something good that belongs to one of those genres. Also,I'm VERY picky about Post Punk so if you send some Post Punk that I love,you'll get bonus points. Worth it? Maybe.
Also,bonus points for Post Rock songs that make me feel sad and terrible. I love that atmosphere in Post Rock.
