Annd can I get an A(men) around here?

Have you used google for song name? 

[LordCost]

If Big Big Train is correct I could have guessed it with 0 letters, but I have never heard anyone talk about them in DTF

[Train of Naught]

I have used spotify to find the band name, but found out the song title with logic

I'm just going to post some results but there might be chanes in rankings because all songs are almost equally good and I'm not 100% sure who's out yet. I'm gonna start with ones that made it to the next round:

There's a band I expected to get sooner or later. I didn't really know what they sounded like but if I had to guess I would have said they sound exactly as they do opening riff is really dirty, it makes me do this JP face riffing is also my favorite thing about this song, pretty heavy stuff, I know I will enjoy this. Vocals, however, sound laughably weird on moments (Duffy Duck, right ) but I don't think they are bad, just make me take the band less seriously. There are also quiet sections that work really well, 10 minutes of this kind of heaviness would be tiring, I guess.
This is, of course, Story of the Eye by Hypno5e, sent by Train of Naught. Real solid stuff, looking forward to checking them further.

The next song that made it though is again by the band I heard a lot about here but I don't think I ever listened to them even though I planned to. And I'm glad you sent it and made sure I will check them out soon. They really sound like the modern version of the 70s prog rock (probably more than any other band I heard). I like it how song throughout repeats the theme but builds more and more and gets more complex as it progresses. You probably figured I like wide spectrum of music but there is something special about this uplifting prog rock I rarely hear in modern bands (as much as I love melancholic music).
Soupytwist, you're in next round with Folklore by Big Big Train this is probably my favorite song of the round at the moment.


1. soupytwist: Big Big Train - Folklore
2. Train of Naught: Hypno5e - Story of the Eye


Puppies_On_Acid: Warpaint - Elephants
LordCost: Cave In - In the Stream of Commerce
home: Sorority Noise - A Portrait Of
Elite: Perhelion Ship - The Emperor Idea
Parama: Slugdge - The Spectral Burrows

[Train of Naught]

I'm just glad that I didn't get humiliated by getting eliminated with Hypno5e. Don't worry, I think this is the only song with Daffy Duck vocals (or maybe also one on the debut, can't remember). If you're into the quiet parts, they're releasing a fully acoustic album soon (next month-ish?) and released 3 songs so far. All good songs, but I don't think they're as good as a fully acoustic band.

This gives me an idea. I have a song with Daffy Duck-like vocals that I can send for next round

[Train of Naught]

Seeing as Hypno5e isn't banned in your roulette, you could also change the next open round to Disney round and I can send Story of the Eye there

what the duck are Daffy Duck vocals?

Wait no I definitely said angry Donald Duck in the PM, daffy sounds very different

I actually meant to say Donald Duck as well....

[Tomislav95]

Yeah, my fault

[Tomislav95]

Next saved is the song I didn't expect to like as much as I did. Because I checked what genre it is and it said technical death metal. It is the genre I used to like but now can't listen without getting a headache. This is indeed technical (or progressive) and has growls but it's not what I expected at all. Actually, my only complaint are harsh vocals but most of the song is either cleans or instrumental. What I absolutely love are riffs and that (almost) uplifting chorus, didn't think I hear something like in supposedly technical death metal. Everything about this sounds so rich and heavy, I like it a lot.
It's Slugdge - The Spectral Burrows sent by Parama. Get ready for round 4

The more and more I listen to this the more and more I think I heard it before. And I never listened to this band it causes a strong sense of deja vu, nevertheless. And also, I like it more and more. It contains healthy amount of weird, mostly in vocals (there is some effect) and guitars sound kinda off on purpose I can't say what genre this is but it sounds heavy for what it is (similar to Red House Painters from my first roulette), almost wild. Whatever it is, I think I might like this band, can't wait to check the further.
It's Elephants by Warpaint. Puppies, you're in for the next round


1. soupytwist: Big Big Train - Folklore
2. Parama: Slugdge - The Spectral Burrows
3. Train of Naught: Hypno5e - Story of the Eye
4. Puppies_On_Acid: Warpaint - Elephants

sent some killer 
i might be sending this next one too early since it's a round-winner and the crowd's not thinning enough quite yet 

[Train of Naught]

Perihelion Ship is a band that I was super surprised I never received in my roulette, it was being talked about a lot on reddit and seemed like something I would love. Checking it out now and also another song a few weeks ago, seriously, why?? I'm pretty sure that's the round winner.

[Elite]

Because I only discovered Perihelion Ship a couple of months ago, so I never had the chance to send it in a roulette of yours. I would be surprised if Tomi doesn't like it. The whole album is straight-up Ghost Reveries worship. Their second album, released last year, is very good as well

[home]

Kick me daddy

[Tomislav95]

I heard something from this band before and I didn't like it at all, it sounded too happy for the genre This one is the different story though. It's pretty catchy and melodies even sound kinda uplifting but lyrics are not uplifting at all. I found indie emo rock to have this kinda neutral feel to them, like "I don't care for anything" and that actually works for song that's meant to be hopelessly depressing. This was also grower so I think I might like this band more than I thought I would. Home, you're in for round 4 with A Portrait Of by Sorority Noise, this was pretty solid song

On the other hand, there's a song by the band I never even heard of so I didn't really know what to expect. The beginning is abrupt and weird, I had to get used to this pitchy voice Fortunately, the rest of the song is much better, coincidentally when he starts singing in his natural range. There are some really nice vocal melodies throughout the song and the chorus is my favorite. This didn't sound like something special but in the end I started to like it a lot so you're saved in the last listen, to be honest BTW my lady friend was listening to all the songs with me once and this one's her favorite
LordCost, saved by the bell, you're in for the round 4 with In the Stream of Commerce by Cave In.

I knew what to expect and I got exactly that, nothing less and unfortunately nothing more. It really sounds like something off Ghost Reveries but not one of those songs I absolutely love Growls sounds same as Mikaels, cleans are nowhere near. I didn't expect it though to be honest, Mikael's voice is one of my favorite cleans ever and rarely anything comes close to me. I don't know how to say it, this just doesn't have that X factor, I don't feel it (and I do every other song). Don't get me wrong, it's still pretty good song and would be higher if this round wasn't so even.
Unfortunately, I have to say you're out, Elite, even though your song was more than solid. The Emperor Idea by Perihelion Ship is easily the best of the least favorite songs of the round (and also, better than some others)

[Tomislav95]

My song is better though.

BTW I think I like Perihelion Ship more than King Goat but that didn't help

Oh no, this is bullshit. Perihelion Ship was my backup band for your album round in case Agalloch was somehow banned (which it apparently was), but then I sent Semistereo for whatever reason I can't remember.

My song is better though.

That's alright, I'll cry myself to sleep tonight

I'm pretty sure that's the round winner.

rip 

yeah.

[Train of Naught]

2 of the biggest WTFs in roulette history within a couple days :O also when everyone thought Ostura's The Room was gonna do great in Kattoelox's roulette. I really thought you'd love Perihelion Ship when I listened to that song. Starting to doubt my R4 entry now

[Crow]

I have no doubt towards my R4 entry because it's more up Tomi's alley than anything I've sent this far 

[LordCost]

Let your lady friend be the secondary judge
It surprises me to see Big Big Train first, I have to consider also to send prog rock. The song I sent isn't that special but I thought it has good melodies and I wanted to send something not prog. I hoped it had a sound you might like.

[Tomislav95]

All songs were very very close. If I had to rate them, the best would get 8 and the worst would get 7. You've made it really hard

[soupytwist]

Damn.  I really wish this were a point scoring roulette, rather than knockout 

Got a good idea where I'm going with round 4, hopefully get it sorted out when I get home a bit later.

[Tomislav95]

I abandoned the system from my v1 because difference in points was too small. I might do a different system in my next roulette, if I ever do it but I like this more than ratings so far.

[Crow]

Rating systems suck because you have to try and keep them consistent across a roulette and what the hell is really the difference between 7 and 7.5 anyways and why do I care so much I just want to die aauugh 

[home]

Niiice  I think I mainly hoped you liked them based on the fact that they sometimes sound somewhat like Brand New 

[soupytwist]

Didn't mean it as a criticism, just having topped two of the rounds so far I'd be sitting pretty in a scoring roulette
