Shadow Ninja 2.0: You actually had the best run of anyone in the last five rounds, but none of your first five submissions did too much for me and really brought you down overall. I appreciate that you basically spent the entire roulette taking risks and entering weird stuff, though, definitely got a few artists on my list to check out from you. Gordian Knot and SikTh especially, but Shining, Native Construct, and Mum were all pretty cool too, and I doubt I'd have found Shining and Mum on my own
LordCost: Well, round 4 really hurt, and round 2 was a little tragic (I still need to give that album a listen, actually), but for the most part you sent some good and sometimes weird stuff. Unexpect, The Ocean, and The Contortionist are bands I need to at least check out further, and that Thumpermonkey song grew on me a lot too. Nothing was really one of my absolute favorites but a mostly consistent run of quality stuff
Train of Naught: Out of everyone here, it seems like your tastes lined up the least with my own. CHON was a great entry, even if it was already on my radar, and Shinedown and Royal Blood were also pretty good listens. You seemed intent on avoiding prog stuff pretty much the whole way through though which is a pretty gutsy move considering how much prog was on my banned list and top albums list
FlyingBIZKIT: It's really unfortunate that I win your roulette and then turn around and give you a lot of trouble in my roulette, oops
Alcest was admittedly kind of a freebie but one I was more than happy to receive, and I was laughing pretty hard when you snubbed Sacul on that NIN entry too. A generally solid run with one or two tracks I wasn't so hot on but I'd definitely be up for participating in your next roulette if you're not planning on revenge-nuking my scores
Tomislav95: You had the most flatly consistent run of anyone, scores entirely in the 6.5-8.5 range, tending towards the high end of that range too, and sending a fair share of great but not quite amazing stuff, like The Sword, Thy Light, and Bjork, among others. You also avoided prog for pretty much the entire time, which is again a move I find pretty gutsy but certainly appreciated
425: A pretty solid run for the first eight rounds with two fantastic entries in the last two rounds, haha. Shame you didn't do as well in my roulette as I did in yours, either, but I definitely have a fair few new artists to check out from you! Coldplay and Yes were two artists I'd heard stuff from before and your entries from them were pretty solid, and I loved Marketa Irglova and Dire Straits as well. There seemed to be a trend of artists I was at least aware of and often had heard stuff from before, but hadn't checked out deeply enough to even be on my Semi-Banned list, which is a pretty interesting trend
mikemangioy: Missing the finals by such a slim margin has gotta hurt, ouch
I quite liked the majority of your entries, but, man, that AAL song just killed your score, didn't it? I'm still not sure you were aware they were on the semi-banned list when you sent them, either, but entries had taken long enough that I didn't want to confirm that you knew, and in hindsight I probably should've checked to be sure, but blah. Bent Knee was a fantastic entry and I definitely have to get that album in the near future. Snubbing Sacul on Destiny Potato was funny, too
Aside from those, Foo Fighters, Destrage, and PFM were also pretty cool entries, really a lot of good stuff from you
