Round 9 Results:
Train of Naught – “Manager’s Wish” – A.C.T.
Noooo. :/ Well, that’s what I thought when it started. I don’t like that, whatever he’s doing. But overall, this song has some cool moments. Cheesy, yes, but cheesy isn’t always bad. It’s just.. okay in this case. I don’t mind the quirkiness in this case, but it just doesn’t hit me in the right way unfortunately. The 2nd half gets better but it’s still not enough to really make me call it a great song. Not awful, but the serious song might have been a better choice?
6.5/10
Tom Bombadil – “The Wheel” – Jerry Garcia
This is a nice one. The only problem is, nothing really stands out to me. It’s a well-made song that gives off a nice vibe, but it doesn’t really stick out in any kind of awesome way. Perhaps a different song would work better. Not that I dislike this, but it’s a bit bland in a sense. I wish I liked it as much as you.
7.5/10
Kingshmegland – “Iconic” – Sieges Even
This one took me a few listens to really start appreciating it. There’s some really nice melodies that stuck with me, specifically the vocals. It’s a nice song, but I’m still feeling there’s more to be desired. I’ll keep listening to more of them and see what I find. A lot of the songs you send me have this similar sound to them. I guess that's just the prog rock nature. Sometimes it's either really awesome, or just really okay.
7.5/10
Shadow Ninja 2.0 – “Walk Away” – Sarah Fimm
Not the only female vocalist of the round, but I do prefer the other one, but that’s just because the other one is REALLY good. I still like this and it has a pretty atmosphere to it, and her voice is quite nice. Relaxing music, relaxing voice, relaxing time. It’s good but not the most memorable.
8/10
Parama – “The Line Between” – Baroness
I’ve seen this album art in a few places, can’t remember where though. I thought it was probably some weird extreme metal stuff but apparently I was wrong. It’s kind of weird, this doesn’t sound entirely original, but at the same time, I can’t really figure out who this would sound like. It’s a nice rocking song and the vocals aren’t bad. I really actually like the production, it’s got a nice sound to it. This actually caught me off guard too, I was expecting something completely different.
8/10
Splent – “Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)” – Styx
I’ve never really listened to Styx, despite their immense popularity. Quite honestly, I couldn’t have even described to you what they sounded like. This is the only Styx song I know, by name at least. This chippy tune is a good listen, and I really like all the synth parts. They have a good sound and I’d definitely like to hear more. Vocals are nice too.
8.5/10
Elite – “South of the Border” – Beardfish
Ok, then. The lyrics are just silly, but a good silly. It’s quite funny actually. Luckily, the music is great too. Has some nice rocking riffs and some quirky ass shit going on. Overall it’s just a really funny song, with all the weird noises, lyrics, and whatnot. Definitely odd, but hey, it works!
9/10
Scorpion – “Seventh Wonder” – Angel Maker
I’m hoping this time the score won’t make you say “God Fucking Dammit”, but we’ll see. Okay, well, the vocals….are a hit! Couldn’t tell you why but they don’t make me cringe, so that’s good. I like a lot of what this song has to offer, the musicianship, the vocal melodies are sweet, and even though the song seems to be all over the place at times, I really think it works. I love the soloing in the second half of the song, great playing and drumming.
9/10
Sacul – “Survive” – Chelsea Wolfe
One word: Haunting. This is darkness at its finest. The music itself is already scary enough, but with the addition of her wonderfully delivered vocals, it somehow makes it beautiful. It’s actually kind of badass, too. The album title fits well with the song too, as it makes me feel like I’m swamped in some abyss. Surreal stuff, brah. The climax at the end is quite nice. Gotta hear more from her.
10/10
Senecadawg2 – “Re: Stacks:” – Bon Iver
Fuck, again? Shit. This is all rigged, or you just keep sending the right stuff. I absolutely adore this. The soothing acoustic rhythm along with his soft, high vocals just makes for an outstanding song. There’s nothing really dramatic about this song, just a guitar and his voice. Less is more? In this case, absolutely.. Hey bro, you got another one.
10/10

Well, Tom the Bomb takes a hit with an average round while Seneca rolls on. However, Sacul still has a good shot, only if Seneca decides to screw up one round. What's gonna happen?
A) Will Seneca choke and allow Sacul to steal a victory?
B) Will Seneca have at least a 9 and seal the deal?
C) Will Shadow score a 10 while everyone else scores a 0 and win in the most amazing comeback in the history of rouletting?
