Crap.

I dunno, I think that's a fantastic mellow song, it doesn't have to do anything special. But that's kind of what I dig these days. Knew I should've sent Arizona. Whoops.

You're getting curve ball next for sure then

I certainly been digging lots of mellow and chill music lately, maybe that's why I've become a little hard to please

. But seems that album of theirs isn't very well rated in many places, so maybe I could try with some of their previous stuff?

Kings of Leon fans are usually those that are on board with what they make and those who think only the first 2 albums matter. I like the way they sound these days, very chill slow songs and spacey but catchy anthems, it's a vibe that suits me personally. They do that Knocked Up song, you may have heard it if you ever YouTube the intro (was used in commercials a lot, at least in the USA). Nothing wrong with your opinion though

Not gonna lie OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO winning that round after all the confused reactions during hangmanen is pretty funny

I don't know if something like that is worth the risk at all times though, but I just think it's a really weird but at the same time fun album. I guess I still have a small chance to make it to the finals now.

Crow · « **Reply #1020 on:** February 16, 2018, 12:14:11 PM »

yeah if you hated exist you're going to hate what i sent for this round even more and honestly that's fine
...exist isn't really that weird though

ariich: The River Empires - A Dimmer Lux
Interesting to see how Casey Crescenzo has been involved in many varied projects (this is the second of his I receive on the roulette so far), and this seems promising. It's a bit of an energic folky song with the acoustic guitars and violins, but kinda proggy in how it's written in terms of melodies and structure. And for some reason it feels more as a piece of a bigger whole than a strong song on its own, likely the case seeing this is part of a massive double concept album. Seems the record is pretty varied in terms of instrumentation and structure so maybe I'd have liked this song more in that context. 3.5/5

That's probably fair - it's why I found it hard to choose which song to send. This is one that stands out in context (among quite a few) and works standalone better than most, but the album isn't about individual tracks at all. If you liked what you heard but just didn't feel there was much to it on its own, then you should definitely check out the album, it's absolutely wonderful.

Also, I appear to be top on the basis of alphabetical order...

King Postwhore · « **Reply #1023 on:** February 16, 2018, 01:57:00 PM »

Nice! I'll work on picking a song tonight.

The Walrus · « **Reply #1024 on:** February 16, 2018, 02:05:30 PM »

Sent mine - went with the first thing that popped into my head.

Tomislav95 · « **Reply #1025 on:** February 16, 2018, 02:20:33 PM »

Sent something different this time, hope I don't need to resent

Nekov · « **Reply #1026 on:** February 16, 2018, 05:00:44 PM »

Awesome, I'm glad you dig the song. The album is quite eclectic so I had a hard time figuring out which song to send. You'll get something from me tomorrw

Bolsters · « **Reply #1027 on:** February 16, 2018, 08:15:30 PM »

I definitely had higher hopes for that song.

Oh well, the next one will be on its way to you soon.

Sacul · « **Reply #1028 on:** February 16, 2018, 08:20:02 PM »

Yeah it surprised me you changed your electronic / ambient entry for this one
