Hello everyone! Hope we’re all having a good day!
Well, after participating in ReaperKK’s roulette (which was an absolutely awesome time), I figure it’s time to see how I go on the other side of this. I’m looking forward to seeing how this one goes, but what are these roulettes for if not a bit of fun?
Anyhow, what are the rounds looking like? There will be 9 regular rounds to determine the top 5 players who will be sending me an album of their choice.
Rounds:
- Round 1: Open
- Round 2: Optional Theme: Short Songs (2:30 and under)
- Round 3: Open
- Round 4: Optional Theme: Instrumental
- Round 5: Optional Theme: Alternate Versions
- Round 6: Optional Theme: Songs With A Story
- Round 7: Optional Theme: Covers
- Round 8: Optional Theme: Long Songs (9-25 Minutes long)
- Round 9: Open
- Round 10: Full Album
For the alternate versions round, this includes acoustic versions, collaborations and even live versions as long as they offer a notable difference.
For the Song With A Story round, it’s what it sounds like. I love songs with strong lyrics, so if you can give me a song that tells a story, this is the round for it. This doesn’t have to be as long as Rime of the Ancient Mariner, but it does have to be a comprehensible story!
What are the rules?
Banned Artists: Dream Theater, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Metallica and Rush. I’m way too big of a fan of these bands to not be biased if they come up.
Bonus Themes: These work much the same as they did in Reaper’s roulette. If you play into the theme, you get an extra point on your score. Don’t play into it? No bonus.
Be Nice - I’m new. Try and be nice if I’m getting things wrong. If you can even just send me a PM with a quick pointer if it seems I need it, it will definitely be appreciated.
Reusing Artists - If anyone uses a song, that song is out of the game for any other player in another round. Every artist can only be used by a single player once (apart from ReaperKK, who can send one artist of his choice once due to me missing this in his roulette), but all players can send songs by that artist. This rule will be reset for the top 5 players in the Full Album round.
Submissions - Spotify preferred, YouTube’s also fine, let me know if you really need to use a different site.
Alright, I think that’s all. Who’s in?

Sorry guys, but 18 is gonna be my total limit for players. Being realistic, I really don’t think I can handle any more than that.

I might actually have a decent shot at this! I'm in if you'll have me. :)

Other rule for all to be aware of, I’m Australian, so to many of you, I’ll seem kinda nocturnal. Case in point? I’m writing this at 5:12am.
-
It's 5:12 pm where I live.
-
Can't seem any more nocturnal than Reaper was.

I'd play but I see Iron Maiden is banned. ;D
Nah, I'm in.

The structure of the rounds looks mighty familiar. :lol

So for the cover round, are you accepting Iron Maiden covers? :biggrin:

Yes, in both ways. Wanna use their version of Women In Uniform or Machine Head’s Hallowed, you’re all good either way.
-
So we CAN use Iron Maiden covering someone else? And Def Leppard covering someone else??
Or Dream Theater doing a cover?
That's weird.
They're banned bands. Does that mean we can use a Def Leppard acoustic version of one of their songs in the alternate versions round, or Iron Maiden's rerecording of Prowler in that round as well?
I mean, either they're banned or not, no?
-
Apologies if this was mentioned and I just didn't see it, but how many songs can be sent per round? I'm assuming it's just one song per round, but I want to make sure in case you can send more than one.

I mean, not in the alternate takes. I very rarely listen to the covers, so I’m willing to let it stretch for that one. Alternate takes, like Prowler ‘88, I visit all too often to remove the bias.
-

Go for the one song per round unless you’re entering an album.
However, the amendment to this is that, if you’re entering g a song like Initiate by Haken (for example) that has it’s intro as a separate song, I’m only going to give points to the main song but will want to hear the intro track.

So, if we want to send Maiden doing Cross Eyed Mary or Rainbow's Gold in the covers round...that's OK?
-
Banned = banned. It’s so limited, just ban everything recorded bumpy them.
I like the rule about intro/segue tracks.
-
So, if we want to send Maiden doing Cross Eyed Mary or Rainbow's Gold in the covers round...that's OK?
This is what I’m saying, yeah. I’m fine with doing that.
However, as it has sparked an issue, I’ll make it a topic of discussion.
Should we allow covers from banned bands or no? You decide!
-
I like the rule about intro/segue tracks.
I like having the full package for a song. Cutting these off in other roulettes brought it to a point where I was dissuaded from using certain songs because the isolated sections made it objectively worse.
-
You really want the inmates running the prison?
-
Anyone using one of the banned bands in the covers round should be docked half a point penalty. In other words, you only get half a bonus point if you use one of the banned bands.
But all anyone has to do is go through the Def Leppard thread to see what Deadeye thinks of Def Leppard's cover songs.
-
I haven’t done one in a while, so I’m in.

Ooft. I forgot about doing Yeah! and Retro Active. That’s a cheat code for those willing to look.
But I like the idea of the half bonus point in this situation.
-
We have 13 players. I think I’m probably going to limit myself to two more to avoid burning myself out, but I’m getting excited.
-

I propose he lets the inmates run the prison only if they've submitted an Iron Maiden cover recorded by the cover artist no later than spring '93 but no earlier than winter '92. If that happens we should then dock 5 points then add 8 points to the score.
Thoughts?

It's fun! Once I get through the album round for my roulette I'm going to start listening through almost all the albums of songs submitted for my roulette.
-
Yiu definitely need to check out Ghost Mile by Voyager, since you really liked Ascension. That!s the opening to the album and it’s a serious statement of intent.
-
Ok then.
13 players have entered the field with the possibility of two more to come. Exciting stuff. I think it’s time to open submissions to the first round. There are no themes or time limits at play here, no bonus points on the line, just give me something cool to start off with.
Hopefully I can get everyone’s submission within a week? That will be 12 Noon in AWST on June 27th for those wanting a proper time stamp. For you guys, this may make it sometime on June 26th, which I do apologise for, but I’m keen to get this moving.

Shit, you could do a round of just covers of The Trooper, I got three off the top of my head already. :lol
But this, and this alone, will always be the best Iron Maiden cover ever...

I think I have 50 too, but there ain't stars beneath my name. And fuck, the situation is worse that I realized—I don't have any boxes either!
Deadeye, I just sent you a PM to ask about a few bands. Something else just occurred to me, though: besides the obvious short and long song rounds, is there a length limit? I don't want to exhaust you with a 20-minute song in the first round, but then again, I kind of do?
-
Happy to answer all questions if anyone has any.
No, length limits aren’t a thing outside of the stated rounds. I played Hell On Earth by Maiden in my first round!

It's on hold, I've not called it a day yet!
Life is still pretty hectic for me but I do have more time to devote to a roulette than at the beginning of the year. I've been holding off because the last thing I want to do is start it up again only to put it on hold again.
As always, the listening is no problem for me. It's the write ups, always the damn write ups. I want to try and have a bit more to say than 'this is ok/great/sucks/go home Cyril you're drunk'.
So you are still winning, fear not.
Although...
You should definitely start another one when you feel up to it. :)
-
I would accept "go home Cyril you're drunk" as a write-up for one of my songs.

Yea go on then. When there is essentially no banned list I don't have to think too hard on what to send. I'll send something predictably twosuitsluke soon.

Alrighty, welcome aboard then Luke.
That’s probably my limit. Sorry to anyone who isn”t in the ranks for this one who wants to be, I’m sure I’ll come around again in a year or two.

'Big me up' means tell everyone how great I am :lol You're the only person who can say it, and genuinely mean it, as I somehow won your roulette!

Buddy, you never even entered into my head as serious competition. If you are ahead of me after the first round, it's because I have allowed it.

I'm going to take that even if it's not directed at me. I'm turning 40 next year so will claw onto any chance of remaining young and relevant.

I'm in the same boat. It's all just testing Deadeyes tastes in the first few rounds, then I can get real freaky.

This.
Revenge, I'm hoping to knock it out of the park with Deadeye, like I did with you.
*ahem* big me the fuck up dude.
Well, considering the music I plan on sending in the later rounds, you certainly have a better chance at getting the top spot than I do. :lol
Also, what's that phrase at the end of your message mean? I feel like I should know this, but I don't.
Have confidence in your trash submissions dude. We'll slate them for you if they're that bad.
'Big me up' means tell everyone how great I am :lol You're the only person who can say it, and genuinely mean it, as I somehow won your roulette!

Buddy, you never even entered into my head as serious competition. If you are ahead of me after the first round, it's because I have allowed it.
It's good to see the smack talk from the youngsters. I'm tired of beating on Tim.
I'm going to take that even if it's not directed at me. I'm turning 40 next year so will claw onto any chance of remaining young and relevant.

Well, it looks like someone's already slating my submissions... ;) In all seriousness, though, I will. I signed up for both your roulette and this roulette knowing that I want to send some of the obscure stuff that I love.
To everyone else, twosuitsuke gets my seal of approval for great roulette submissions, and I do genuinely mean that.
It's good to see the smack talk from the youngsters. I'm tired of beating on Tim.
Honestly, I'm usually tempted to be a part of the banter that goes on here, but I worry that others might accidentally see it as mean instead of joking because of my somewhat straight-faced personality. Maybe I'll try to loosen up a bit here and be more involved in these kinds of conversations.

I think the stars are for those of us who were here before the crash of '07 since the earliest registered members is May 18th, 2007. Or maybe not. I have no idea what the hell is goin on.

Without a doubt. I just went to my "Top 111" list, and started in the top section to figure out which wrong I felt was most important to "right". I don't even gotta go very deep.

As for member status, GREEN is definitely a flag for donors, but clearly not 100% accurate. Stars and Boxes have something to do with longevity. Pretty sure both those are managed by the mods manually, so like I said …. Not entirely 100% accurate.

Apparently. From the looks of things I can fit no more than 25 messages max.

What green? The stars? Because I don't see ANY name in green, and the little box next to the name is just "online/offline" status. And it seems that everyone that has stars has the same amount and same color. Maybe, I didn't check EVERYONE, just the names in this thread.

I have no stars.

Hey guys, little problem.
I’ve just found one track that was in my spam email from the admin@dreamtheaterforuns.org email address.

Sorry to whoever that one was.

Uhh, yep. I think I need to lie down for a while. I really din’t understand the template.
I don't have the instructions Ariich included but it's really simple actually. Just make a copy of the spreadsheet so you can edit it as much as you like. Then you just replace the placeholder Artists/Songs and Senders with the submissions you got, and clear out all the entries in the Correct Guesses and Guessed Letters columns. You'll then get a completely unfilled hangman on the right that you can just copy and paste. As people guess letters and correctly guess songs/senders, you add those to the columns and the output will automatically update. Copy, paste, repeat.
The only data you need to change is highlighted in yellow. All the white cells in the middle you can completely ignore.
-
I might message Ariich, coz I don’t get it. Where are all the correctly guessed letters coming from?
-
I might message Ariich, coz I don’t get it. Where are all the correctly guessed letters coming from?
People here when they guess them! You then need to manually add the letters they guessed to the B column in the spreadsheet.
So if Cyril guesses D (like he always does), TAC guesses T and I guess Z that column should contain D,T, and Z (and nothing else). You'll then see those letters automatically get filled in on the output.
Easiest way for you to get this is probably to play around with it a bit yourself. Make a copy of the sheet so you can edit it, then try adding and removing letters from the B column and change which cells in the BX, BY, and BZ columns have "Y" in them. Then take note of how the output on the far right changes.
-
Next time I'm asked to create a spreadsheet for work, I might just present Rich's one and leave like a G.
-
Just throwing it out there, Deadeye—if you wanted to skip the hangman, there would be at least one person who wouldn't care. It's never done much for me, all that guessing, and when I was hosting my last roulette, I started resenting the need to update it. It is neat to see the songs that have been submitted, though.
-
Actuall, I worked out the template. Hard work, but I’ve got it.
Alright, waiting for Tomislav and then it’s game on.
-
To hell with it, we have 17/18. I will update the hangman once I receive the last submission, but why not get started, hey?

Edit: nope, he's not in this :lol

Indeed.

Buddy sent Tool?
No, he didn’t.

Destrage could be Lonestar
I'm pretty sure he sent me that same song years ago. When will he learn?
Yeah, that's the one he sent me. Pretty sure they're male and not Japanese though. Can't be him.
:lol
@seneca...did they tank in yours? I've had success with that song many times.
Nah, I think it did pretty well actually, just giving you shit :smiley:
-
:lol all good boo :-*
Mystery is Jingle... Hoser sending Hoser band.
That's a negative Ghost Rider. One of my secondary goals this roulette is to send bands/songs people wouldn't think would've been mine. Also, why would I solve my own entry?
I didn't see that you solved it. Note.. I posted that at 3:50am before heading to work, brain is a bit fuzzy without my caffeine.

King is one of the Porcupine Tree entries.
TAC is Dickinson
Both correct, but take a crack at which one was King’s.
-
King’s and crack should never be used in the same sentence. Ever.
-
Ass crack maybe. I've worked on it for decades.

It's so glorious the fleas have their own version of the Three Gorges Bridge to get from one side to the other.

My top 3 out of these (excluding my own obviously) would be -
1: Untouchable Pt. 1
2: Ten Years Gone
3: Windowpane
Stads, props for picking Ten Years Gone. Definitely an outside pick for Led Zep but one of my all time faves and a song that I feel gets overlooked.

First impressions time, let’s go
That intro riff has me hooked in for whatever’s coming next.
Unexpected kickoff was unexpected.
Absolute beast of a singer
This is the sound of chaos incarnate
I feel like I recognise this singer and he’s absolutely slaying it here.
This might be one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard
One of my favourite album openers of all time. Maybe I should’ve banned these guys too?
Now that’s what I call a meaty riff!
This is a mini-epic and I love it!
I can see this being used to great effect in a movie soundtrack.
Tight metal song, very fitting for the singer.
That sad, empty feeling is real.
I’m familiar with this one. Gotta love that intro buildup!
Ok, this is a damn cool song!
Just when you think you’ve got a band worked out…
Upbeat and dramatically sad as well, brilliant!
I do love me a good drum break.
Good song, but better production could’ve made it great.

Pink Floyd is the soundtrack.
It’s not *bad* production, but there were a few spots where the distorted guitars sounded like they were clipping in my ears that didn’t happen in other songs. It took me out of the moment each time. If that wasn’t the case, I think this would be a way better song. It’s like a mild tidbit that got me.

You can still reject individual songs if they're ones you already know. The banned list need not be followed like it's law.

The point of these roulette is to discover new music. I'm not going to waste time sending songs you already know, that's just pointless.
As Chad says, reject something you know if it gets sent.

Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
Sent by Revenge319
Not gonna lie, it helped to have two Porcupine Tree songs back to back here. A double dose of Porcupine Tree for someone who’s never heard it before? How perfect. That synth hooks me in already but when the band starts up, this quickly turns into a damn cool song. I love the way the intro introduces it all straight off the bat and then the vocals get to take centre stage. The change in vocal approaches to this one really shine. All the riffs are bangers, the soloing is great, I really like the singer, the drumming is cool and even the bass work gets a chance to shine. I feel like I’m on a fairly epic journey here and I’m strapped in for all of it. Even when we transition away from the familiarity for the last 3 and a half minutes, it’s dramatic and then it comes in super heavy! It’s like English Tool, but better!!

Mystery - Dear Someone
Sent by HOF
I’m a hard rocker and classic metalhead mainly. But there’s just something about this song that keeps me coming back. The first time I heard the riff, the tone reminded me a little of Children of the Sea by Sabbath and his vocal reminded me a bit of Journey meets Scorpions. The more I listen to it though, the more I completely fall in love with the immense beauty of this track. The solos really hit the mark, and even the big buildup gets me going and yet it keeps itself masterfully restrained. There is so much to unpack here and all of it’s great. This is easily one of my favourite discoveries here, well played HOF!

Alter Bridge - Cry of Achilles
Sent by Vmadera00
I didn’t realise anyone would think of playing this in a roulette, so I didn’t think to ban them. And yet, someone did. I’m realising I should’ve taken them off the list as this right here is one of my favourite ever opening tracks from one of my favourite ever albums. But what I find really good is that this hasn’t completely overshadowed everything else sent in this round. This song is fairly damn amazing. Myles’ voice leads the track perfectly and he has a great solo after the bridge, Mark’s riffing is so strong too. Brian gets a great moment where he leads the first bridge, even getting a good fill into the second verse section, and then Flip is relentless in the drum department on this one. I’m not going to penalise it, but I am comparing this against other songs sent in this roulette, where it actually ended up not being my total favourite.

Seventh Wonder - The Light
Sent by Tomislav95
This vocalist still sounds really familiar, I want to guess it’s Tommy Karevik who I know from Ayreon fame much like Mike from Toehider. This is another one that actually feels like it could go really well in a soundtrack, feels like it could be in a training montage. Then we get to the solos which are awesome, but extreme props to the bassist for absolutely holding his own here. Everything in this track is awesome. Even if I’m not into the piano bridge that much, it provides a great break in the action and lets that last chorus come in real nicely! Just needed a little more to the ending and it could have been a 5 for me. Not a fan of short cutout endings.

Anathema - Untouchable Part One
Sent by Sacul
How does one pull this off? This feels like it should be upbeat and yet it feels so sad as well. I love the instrumentation first and foremost though. This backing track is so cool. Almost a progressive rock meets pop and country type of feeling in my ear. And then we get down to the vocals which are just so fitting to the lyric. Is this what Anathema are usually like, or is this an outlier? Either way, I’m keen to hear some more. Mix is a little muddy from having as many tracks as it does, but it’s still super strong.

Whatever Makes You Feel Superior - Toehider
Sent by Elite
I’m familiar with this song, but it’s been a very long time since I last listened to it. Mike really knows how to write a catchy hook. The chorus here is super infectious to get into and the verses are really fun. However, I have to say, while the solos are great, I think this song becomes a little bogged down by that ambient section before the last pre-chorus. It’s a little overlong and kinda takes me right out of it. Still, when the rest of the song is this strong, who am I to complain? Sometimes you just want a bit of lighthearted fun and Toehider provides it here.

Bruce Dickinson - Tears of the Dragon
Sent by TAC
I said I’m not a fan of the production here, but on further listens, I find it less of a problem than it was the first time. That snare tone doesn’t do much for me though, but I’m so used to hearing the tightness of Nicko’s kit behind Bruce’s vocals. This song is actually pretty great, not gonna lie. I love the solo especially, the way the tone changes gradually as it goes is such a cool feature. And then at the end of the day, you get Bruce Dickinson delivering a powerful performance! I do think the bass could’ve been maybe a notch lower in the mix though. Great song, I may need to check out more Bruce solo stuff in future.

The Brave - Blaze Bayley
Sent by wolfking
I’m not as overcritical of the Blaze stuff in Maiden as many are, but I will willingly admit that not everything fit his voice. This though? He shreds it! The galloping rhythms and trade-off solos make me feel like this could’ve been a song on IM12 if Adrian and Bruce didn’t return in 99. Shows me that Steve knew what he was going into choosing Blaze, but their time together just didn’t work out as well as it might have on paper.

Dance on a Volcano - Genesis
Sent by romdrums
My reference point for Genesis is cover songs, so I can’t really say I know much about them. They are a band that I’ve always meant to check out though. Here comes romdrums with the right idea! This thing is a mini-epic that reminds me of the little bit of Transatlantic I’ve heard. I love the tension of the verse being released by the instrumental sections. This song just keeps building through all sorts of different sections. This doesn’t follow any conventional structure, but that lets it take on more of an epic feel! It always feels like it’s still just finding it’s feet and it’s already almost over. I don’t think this song should be longer, but it’s one that has a 6 minute runtime and it feels far shorter.

Moon Tooth - Igneous
Sent by ReaperKK
Next time I want to get slapped in the face by a monstrously meaty riff, I now know exactly which song to turn to. This feels like bands that my Dad introduced me to, like Mastodon, Red Fang and Bombus. The only thing I don’t really like about this track is how disconnected the vocal feels from the instrumental in parts. It’s really cool to hear that steel string slide guitar solo, it’s not something you really get too often in a song that sounds like this. Everyone plays their parts really well and if that vocal had been given a bit more time to get into the chorus feel, I think this song would take an even stronger place for me. As it is though, this still stands strong.

Porcupine Tree - Heartattack in a Layby
Sent by kingshmegland
I’d never heard a note of Porcupine Tree, at least knowingly, before this Roulette. So I came into this one totally blind. The intro reminded me of Disturbed’s cover of Sound of Silence and I was hooked in. And then it kinda stayed there, giving me the room to focus on the lyrics. And I’m glad it did. By doing that, I really get the emotional crux of the song. The lyrics paint the picture of a broken man and even though it keeps saying “she waits for me”, it feels very isolated and alone. When the backing vocals start creeping in towards the end, it feels like thoughts colliding in his head. I feel for this guy and I kinda just want to give him a hug and let him know it will all be ok, you know? Great song, very strong introduction to the band.

Destrage - Destroy Create Transform Sublimate
Sent by lonestar
I think my first impression really says it all. This song is all sorts of chaos. When it comes to the vocals this is something very different, going from almost a Brian Johnson type of sound to straight filthy growls and then something completely different for the main chorus. That chorus is actually a really cool hook. I love the clean bridge section too. It’s kinda hard for me to award this one points accurately, just because there are so many different things at play, and not all of them work for me. That symphonic section towards the end into an electronic ending is kinda jarring. Still, there are a lot of great sections here as well.

Welcome Home - Coheed and Cambria
Sent by twosuitsluke
How does one argue against a riff like this intro? Actually, this song instrumentally is an absolute powerhouse, giving me riff after amazing riff. The weak point for me? Vocals. I’m really not a fan of the singer’s voice, or t least not for the most part since it really sits well in the “one more kiss for you” bridge section. Love the solos and the choir underneath the last descending riff. I reckon I’d absolutely love a cover version of this, but the vocals here kinda sucked me out of it a little. Am I biased against the accent, I hope not, but there’s something there I just can’t shake.

Opeth - Windowpane
Sent by senecadawg2
I’m aware of Opeth, but not their music. My reaction to seeing them sent was “wait, aren’t they those Blackwater Park guys?” I have no idea how it stacks against that because I have never heard the song. I’m assuming this is more of a ballad from them, but it’s actually still kinda heavy, which is really cool. His vocals stand out, which I really like (unless you couldn’t tell, I really like singers and how they sound against the songs). That little delay riff from the 2:23 mark has been stuck in my head since I first heard the song. The bass plays a vital role here, which I love this song for. That drum break is what I mentioned in my first impression because, while it’s not super technical, it is well placed and brings in the following section really really well. The soloing here is pretty great too. I just wish there’d been a little more to the back half of this song since the riff does stay around for a while and feels like there should have been some vocals over it. What this song is is pretty great, but I wish there’d been a little more to it.

Anamanaguchi - Sunset by Plane
Sent by Buddyhunter1
So, I’m not really a fan of electronic music and with the intro being what it is, I thought I wasn’t going to enjoy this song at all. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks when that kickoff happened. This isn’t “electronic music”, this is a great tune with electronic elements. I love the way the chorus builds upon the original theme from the intro, and the instrumental sections are pretty cool too. Not a huge fan of the vocals, but they get the job done. Kinda reminds me of the soundtrack to the show Meta Runner, actually.

Ten Years Gone - Led Zeppelin
Sent by Stadler
I’m not a massive fan of Zep, I’m not gonna lie to you. But I know the major classics and I won’t shy away from Whole Lotta Love or Immigrant Song if they come up. But I never expected this to come out of this band. Page’s riffing here is really cool, I especially love that chorus riff. Then Plant’s singing is restrained from what I’m used to with his high howling. If you want me to talk about the drumming, it’s Bonham and that man never did anything badly behind the kit as far as I’m concerned. That bridge adds a really cool air of tension to the track, and the instrumental section afterwards is a really nice touch. The little heavy transition that sometimes interjects the clean riffing is a really cool little hook. This is not what I expected from Led Zeppelin at all and I love finding out I haven’t “heard one, heard all” with these guys!

Pink Floyd - Welcome to the Machine
Sent by jingle.boy
I’m a musician, so naturally I’ve heard of Pink Floyd. I used to cover Another Brick in the Wall (Parts 2 and 3) with my old band, I still play Wish You Were Here in my solo sets, but I can’t say I’ve ever really ventured too deep into the Pink Floyd back catalogue. This is one of the songs that comes up a lot as being a quintessential track. Unfortunately, having heard it, I don’t really get why. That’s not to say it’s a bad song, but this really doesn’t capture any of what I like Pink Floyd for. This actually feels like it would be more at home on an Ayreon album (which is fine, coz I do enjoy a fair bit of Ayreon). I can see this being used in a movie soundtrack to great effect. Kinda feels like a dark revelation being made. I love that ascending guitar line in the instrumental section and the synthesiser solos are great, but this song kinda feels like it’s building to a moment where the full band comes in that never arrives and it kinda holds it back to me. It’s still a good song, this just isn’t what I really wanted to hear from Pink Floyd.

Lateralus - Tool
Sent by Puppies_On_Acid
I’ve seen Tool live, but they didn’t play this song. And the main stuff I’m familiar with is what they played that night in February 2020 just before the world shat itself. Anyway, point is, I didn’t know this one going in all too well. However, I was aware of his use of the Fibonacci sequence in the verses, which just makes for a really cool vocal pattern. The intro build is just so cool and it’s a shame that the opening riff isn’t used too much in this song (even though I may have accidentally ripped it off for one of my old bands, I’ll post a link to that if anyone cares). Chancellor’s bass and Carey’s drums are huge leaders of this song, as they always are. Adam Jones provides a few cool licks throughout this one, but I don’t really see this as the best Tool song as I’ve seen claimed often. This isn’t quite as good as Pneuma or 46 and 2. Keenan’s use of the Fibonacci sequence is the only thing that really sticks out as a main feature that differentiates it from other, better Tool songs. Spiral out, keep going!

Glad you liked the track, will send round 2 tonight!

It is not shocking in the slightest that Claudio's vocals turned you off, he's been doing that to people for 2 decades now :lol
I suppose I can see why they are not for everyone, but at the same time I can't understand why they aren't the biggest band on the planet!
I feel confident though as musically Welcome Home seemed to your jam. Gonna have a dig through my playlists to find something under 2:30 that might work for round 2.

Hell yeah! Anathema's sound on that album is like that, upbeat yet melancholic. That record is one of my very favorites, such an intense emotional journey.

Possibly taken my biggest roulette risk to date. Ain't a chance in hell this is gonna score well, but it is an incredible song.
I nearly played it safe (and I'll reveal what I was going to send at the right time) but what's life without shit roulette scores to look back on.

So with Deadeye initially giving me grief about production, I am now having second thoughts on my Round Three submission. Taking into account two of his banned bands, I was about to give him the ultimate gift/discovery, but the production is way too 80's. Hmm...

Deadeye... two tips: First, turn on the feature in messages that also forwards a copy to your email inbox. Then you can keep/save as many messages as you desire. Second, make 'save sent messages' the default, and then everything you respond to will sit in the "Sent items" ... there is no limit on that mailbox.
-
Alternatively... you could just not collect the submissions and songs, and let US answer the hangman questions for you. That way, you'll be just as surprised as the rest of us at what songs were sent by whom.

My original submission was "Crusher Destroyer" by Mastodon, but Deadeye is already somewhat familiar with them. I had to resend, and as such I decided to send The Dear Hunter instead. There's practically nothing to choose from that's 2:30 or less, so I went for one of my favorites. I was almost going to send "The Moon / Awake" as I love that song a little more, but I feel like A Night on the Town would make for a better first impression.

Definitely not what I would expect from this artist.
Getting “War of the Worlds” vibes from the start of this.
Sounds like a montage, but maybe a little slower.
This song is unfair levels of god tier.
Well, that was certainly different. Pretty beautiful, actually.
Amazing how much can be packed into such a short time!
Oh man, that little instrumental section is super catchy!
That’s a feel good tune if I ever I’ve heard one
I really wish this one could’ve been a little longer, amazing little tune.
This is beautiful and sensitive, but the solo is insanely powerful!
This wasted absolutely none of its short runtime!
I have mixed feelings on this song.
Great band, but the song feels a little forgettable.
So 2000s. Takes me back.
I love the bass break and sheer weirdness that follows!
Great playing and a beautiful tone!
Ow, my neck…

While this could apply to pretty much every short song, I'll claim this for Midsummer's Daydream - "I really wish this one could’ve been a little longer, amazing little tune."
Alternatively - "That’s a feel good tune if I ever I’ve heard one"

And a fantastic homage to the great David Gilmour (I've always maintained that Marillion had FAR more in common with The Pink Floyd than Genesis).

My favorite solo which is an ode to Gilmour is Toto's "A Thousand Years". Lukather talked in an interview how durring the recording of the album, "The Seventh One" he saw Floyd and was inspired by Gilmour and that solo was the byproduct.

Bitter Sweet - King’s X
Sent by HOF
This is one that makes me want to get into the band. The vocal layers are all really nice and every guitar part sounds really nice. This song is too short and leaves me wanting way more and I have a sneaky feeling that I’ll be right back to this album as soon as the Roulette is done. The whole thing reminds me a little of the few bits and pieces of Transatlantic I heard and I now know why my guitar tutor rates these guys so highly.
While this is actually my third favourite song of the round, you are the highest ranked song since you can actually earn the bonus point.

Quest for Misery - Oceans of Time
Sent by TAC
This doesn’t mess around at all. This is just heavy as hell and I’m headbanging the whole way through. I love how the keyboard lead turns into a lead guitar pattern later and the little stop/start motif reminds me of Dance of Eternity. The soloing in the second half of the song is absolutely awesome and that chugging pattern must have inspired Sons of Apollo. I do have to ask if this goes into another song based on the way it ends though, which is the only thing holding it back from a perfect 6 score. Damn, these guys are talented!

Frankly, Mr Shankly - The Smiths
Sent by senecadawg2
This one is shaping up to be one of my favourites, not going to lie. The vocal pattern is just so catchy and then there’s a really cool instrumental too. This is just such a cool little song that makes me want to check out a lot more from the band in hopes of getting more just like this.

Rollin - Tomorrows Bad Seeds
Sent by Puppies_On_Acid
This is upbeat enough that I want to dance, just I don’t know how to dance. The lyrics are super upbeat and that reggae rock marriage is handled super nicely here. I really like that lead guitar phrase too. This is probably enough of these guys for me, but I’m really glad this came up.

Dope Nose - Weezer
Sent by kingshmegland
I know Weezer more for their covers than their own songs. This makes me want to rectify that. The riff really isn’t all that much to write home about, but it’s blunt power really works for the song. The vocals aren’t his best, but they suit the song. The solo is cool. The whole song reminds me of the 2000s sound that I grew up with so this just leaves me smiling.

There’s a somber beauty to the sound of this that sucks me right in. I love the story this song tells and it all just really hits me in the right way, which is cool because I didn’t think this is something I’d listen to outside of the context of this roulette. This is a really different sound that I didn’t hear a lot of and I’m intrigued to hear more. Nice pick, Sacul.

A Night on the Town - The Dear Hunter
Sent by Revenge319
So it’s a second short of counting for the long songs round and perhaps a little shy of being “a song with a story”, so Revenge, I’m sorry that I failed you for not leaving a round for this to be awarded the bonus point it so truly deserves. This song is all sorts of awesome in a neat little 8:59 package. The longer instrumental section towards the end made me lose my inhibition to not make an ass of myself and absolutely start dancing. This song is just every shade of absolutely awesome, by far my favourite of the batch, but it sits kinda mid tier here because it can’t earn the bonus points. So once again, I’m sorry that I’ve failed you. I can’t wait to hear the rest of this album, since that weird ending is clearly setting up a continuance to the story.

Sugar Mice - Marillion
Sent by lonestar
This song is amazing and I’m sorry I didn’t really give you a round where this could be given a bonus point that it sorely deserves. The vocals are perfectly tender against a beautiful backing track with the bass giving some nice flavour. And then you get that solo and my heart just soars! Being this is the Dream Theater Forums, I did know the lyrics about “Daddy took a rain check” from the Chaos in Motion version of Surrounded, but the rest of the song builds to it so well. This is brilliant!

I kinda wish this had vocals, but I think it could have ruined it too. This is a really interesting little instrumental that I thoroughly enjoyed. Favourite riff is the last one that turns into the stop/start fake ending. I really don’t know how to rank this one, Reaper, so thanks for giving me the hard job!

This is a really beautiful guitar solo that reminds me a lot of the time from 316 by Van Halen. There’s not a lot to say other than masterfully played and a great addition to the shorties round.

Maxwell Murder - Rancid
Sent by twosuitsluke
This is cool. Nice and fast and trashy. Pretty much exactly what I think of for it’s genre. But that bass solo is the definite highlight of the song, it came as a surprise the first time and in re-listening for the writeups, it remained a mega highlight.

Blind Eye Halo - Soilwork
Sent by wolfking
I do love a good snare roll intro into a nice heavy riff. This is a pretty good track, even if I’m not really into this type of vocal. What I do really like though is the kinda call and response type of effect in what I guess is the chorus. The solo is really good and I kinda love that effect of using the higher register of the riff to come back in after that solo. I think this was exactly long enough as a song too. I got the idea they were putting across, got some cool instrumental moments and then left out feeling fulfilled.

The Flame - McStine and Minnemann
Sent by romdrums
Everything about this is pretty cool, at least instrumentally. But the vocals drowned in the effect are something I don’t really get into, and the start of the main instrumental section doesn’t quite sit well for me either. However, all up, there’s a lot here that I can really sink my teeth into and have a decent time with.

Bubbles - System of a Down
Sent by Buddyhunter1
While there are definitely songs from System of a Down that I really enjoy and not just the hits, this one didn’t quite hit the same mark for me. However, the “May I remind you?” section is really out there and is my definite highlight of the song. Thing is, the song isn’t held back by anything either, it just isn’t a super strong one from a band that has a lot of cool stuff.

Spirit of the Water - Camel
Sent by Tomislav95
This actually really reminds me of Forever Autumn from War of the Worlds. Nothing wrong with that either, coz I love that song. I love that flute sound. Don’t really care for the effect in the vocals though. This feels really lost and sad, but also a bit like an interlude track. Intriguing. Might be worth investigating further.

See You Tonite - Gene Simmons
Sent by Stadler
Why does the Gene Simmons give me more of a Beatles vibe than the actual Beatles song in this round? This is a pretty good song all up, even if the lyrics are a bit beginner level. It just moves at a good pace and has a cool vibe. Love that little instrumental with the distorted guitars and string section coming together.

Chainsaw Slide - Buckethead
Sent by Vmadera00
This one is a mixed bag. I don’t feel that it lives up to the hype of the player nor the title of the song. What we have here is something that feels like it was produced for a magazine like Guitar World for the readers to learn a brand new song from Buckethead. The main riff reminds me a little of the vocal to Shout by Tears For Fears and the higher melodic section is pretty good, but the whole time I’m left waiting for a kickoff that doesn’t come. The drums sound like a pretty basic backing track too, which could’ve helped to improve the song if there was a great bit of percussion behind it.

Drive My Car - The Beatles
Sent by Elite
You have to respect the musical legacy of The Beatles for all it was, but this song is just one I don’t overly care for. It’s well structured, the solo is cool, but it kinda passes by without leaving any real impact on me apart from thinking “wtf was that ‘beep beep mm beep beep yeah’ thing about?” Far from the strongest effort from a band with such a great catalogue.

Actually the song could've fit in the 'tells a story' round since it does tell the story of an alcoholic at a bar lamenting and accepting how his drinking has cost him his family, but I got something special for that round.
Ironically, the Chaos in Motion tour was one of the few I missed of DT's, because I was so lost in my own alcoholism, so I ended up missing my favorite band cover my favorite song because of the subject matter of said song.
Still trying to settle on something for the next open round, I'll send by days end.

It's subtle, and Fish (lead singer and lyricist) is very elegant in his imagery, but the closing line of 'and if you want my address it's number one at the end of the bar' is about as brutal as they come. The official video does a good job of telling it as meant.

Well, looks like Luke was sort of right about A Night on the Town being the round winner! I don't mind that I missed out on a bonus point, I'm just surprised (and glad) I got another 5/5! At this point, I'm unsure what I should send next... I don't expect that I'll get lucky a third time and get another perfect score, but I'd certainly like to try to maintain a high position on the rankings, so I'll still be holding off on my risky choices for the time being.

Two in a row!
King’s X do have really excellent vocal harmonies, so if you like that there’s a good chance you’ll like their music. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts if you check out that album (Please Come Home… Mr. Bulbous). It’s not really a fan favorite, but I think it’s one of their best albums. Very experimental and a bit psychedelic. I think you would probably also really like their earlier albums (at least through the self-titled album, but all of the Atlantic albums are really good).
Let’s see if I can keep the streak going. Will try to send a bit later today.

HOF, that is a fantastic King's X album!
Glad you liked my song. Weezer is so damn fun. Their hooks are so damn catchy. I'm a prog guy but I'm a suckered for a great pop/rock song with melody.

I would never slag a song before the scores but Sugar Mice is the single worst thing Dream Theater has ever done to one of their songs. Surrounded ‘07 had such a nice intro but to end it with Daddy took a rain check??

I don’t really get it’s inclusion there either. My point of bringing it up is that I knew about that particular section of Sugar Mice because of it. Believe me, I could definitely live with it not being there.

I could be misremembering, but wasn’t it included there because Sugar Mice was sort of an influence on the song?
Also, it’s worth checking out some of the live versions of Sugar Mice with Steve Hogarth on vocals (he replaced Fish after that album). It’s hard to find one that has all the parts of the original (sometimes they drop the “daddy took a rain check” section, sometimes they drop the solo, etc. This is one of my favorites but it does not include the solo. I actually prefer the way Hogarth sings it (though it stinks to lose the solo).

I'm honestly so surprised Maxwell Murder scored as well as it did. It's the sort of song I'd never normally send, and even though I love it, I'd understand why others hate it! The bass solo does elevate it though and I stand by that.
I have no problem losing out to A Night on the Town. I agree that is a superior song and I urge you to go listen to Act IV: Rebirth in Reprise right now. It is without doubt the single greatest album I have discovered via DTF, as well as being the greatest album I've discovered in the last decade.
Just cancel the roulette and listen to The Dear Hunter basically.
Also, sad to see The Beatles score so low but then again, not a song I would've sent. I nearly sent Blackbird; are you familiar with the song and how would it have scored, out of interest?

Sufjan just makes quite wonderful music, that album is a bit long but full of beautiful tunes. He later moved on to incorporate more electronic elements and kept making excellent records.
I'll send soon. Sent one of my favorite songs ever, again ;D

Possibly taken my biggest roulette risk to date. Ain't a chance in hell this is gonna score well, but it is an incredible song.
I nearly played it safe (and I'll reveal what I was going to send at the right time) but what's life without shit roulette scores to look back on.
It's ok, I'm expecting to score a 2 on my pick :corn
Betcha I get lower! :)

You're on!
Well, guess it cancels out since we got the same score :lol

I don’t really get it’s inclusion there either. My point of bringing it up is that I knew about that particular section of Sugar Mice because of it. Believe me, I could definitely live with it not being there.
I could be misremembering, but wasn’t it included there because Sugar Mice was sort of an influence on the song?
Also, it’s worth checking out some of the live versions of Sugar Mice with Steve Hogarth on vocals (he replaced Fish after that album). It’s hard to find one that has all the parts of the original (sometimes they drop the “daddy took a rain check” section, sometimes they drop the solo, etc. This is one of my favorites but it does not include the solo. I actually prefer the way Hogarth sings it (though it stinks to lose the solo).
https://marillionofficial.bandcamp.com/track/sugar-mice
So I actually own Script, Misplaced Childhood, and Clutching At Straws.
My favorite is Script, which I think is really cool, but then they get progressively worse. I've only listened to Clutching once. It really did nothing for me.

Makes sense, since Clutching at Straws is the best of the Fish albums for me, and I don’t care for Script much at all!

Plenty of ways to play it. I think you’re getting to work me out so you know what risk to take. Hell, Dear Hunter was still a risk last round, so you can’t be doing too badly, hey?

10/18. Lots of cool songs on the board. Looking forward to round 3!

Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed the song, Deadeye! The Smiths are fantastic, and that album in particular is a favorite of mine. I would also really strongly encourage you to check out Carrie and Lowell, seeing as how you enjoyed the Sufjan Stevens song. There's no album more deserving of "somber and beauty" than Carrie and Lowell.
I'll send for round 3 shortly

Yeah, I second this. Just beware that, lyrically, it's very personal and might make you a bit uncomfortable :P

Drive My Car - The Beatles
Sent by Elite
You have to respect the musical legacy of The Beatles for all it was, but this song is just one I don’t overly care for. It’s well structured, the solo is cool, but it kinda passes by without leaving any real impact on me apart from thinking “wtf was that ‘beep beep mm beep beep yeah’ thing about?” Far from the strongest effort from a band with such a great catalogue.
3 + 1
The beep beep yeah part is fun. The whole song is fun. The Beatles are fun, it doesn't have to about anything. I like this one. It might be up there with my favourite Beatles tunes. You should try playing it as well; the vocal lines are pretty tricky to pull off (you'll need a second singer) while playing without sounding terrible.
Anyway, how would you know this is far from their strongest effort if you hadn't even heard this track before? :biggrin:
Sending more Beatles!

On the cover, it has the second G that I added back in. Spotify calls em Gomagog, the band is called Gogmagog according to their album cover. Therefore, I believe that the “extra letter” is a correct letter.

Soen - TAC

Let’s jot say the hiatus is fully over, we’re still gonna go a bit slower. Buuuuuuuuuut, here we go!
Those moments where it’s all about the vocals are really amazing!
That chorus section is really cool!
Vocal harmonies are superb!
Love this! Great driving rocky prog!
Music to adventure by!
I don’t know if one actual word was said, but I love the vocals!
This sounds like a cross between Dio and a pissed off Freddie vocally, until it goes full Ride the Lightning Hetfield at the end. I like this guy.
Ooh, I do like a trippy intro riff that’s actually just heavy as hell!
The second half is way better than the first here.
Ok, this was a lot to take in, but it adds up to a pretty cool whole.
I like how this song just keeps unfolding. Not sure I understand what the whole last minute was about though.
This isn’t what I thought this artist was like, but it’s a cool change up.
You can never quite beat the classics, can you?
This is a great poppy track.
The atmosphere of this song is :censoreding incredible!
Exquisite. I love this one a lot
This is a riff fest!
I love the subdued vibe of this.
-
That was the shortest hiatus in history!
-
The Dio/Freddie vocal one?

I’m either the “classic” or the “chorus “.

Those moments where it’s all about the vocals are really amazing!
For Black as the Sky.
I would've pegged the 'classic' comment for Rainbow.

That chorus section is really cool!
Only one I see that might fit

I’m either the “classic” or the “chorus “.
So if I’m not one of these I’m either the “Changeup” or the “heavy intro riff”

Not the impression we are looking for, but will admit yours is rather positive.

Yeah. I’m not using the term in a negative sense, but it does meet a more radio friendly kind of vibe.

I meant D'uh in the sense that I should've guessed that impression first. For some reason I glossed over it, but it definitely makes the most sense.
It's not a song I would typically send in a roulette, but I figured the lineup would pique your interest.

I know; the song is also written by Russ Ballard who wrote Ace's New York Groove and a couple songs for Rainbow.
-
Yeah, I bought the vinyl when it came out. I thought Deadeye being a massive Iron Maiden and Def Leppard fan would find it interesting. Dianno, Clive Burr, Janick Gers, and....Pete Willis, which as far as I know, this is the only thing he would ever surface on. Oh, plus Neil Murray on bass.

Now where’s the fun in that?

It is if you want that old school Pain of Salvation sound, I agree. On its own, I think it’s a very good song.

Ok, so this is what's left for me then :lol I don't think my song is trippy, and it doesn't have vocal harmonies, so that eliminates those two. The song has some cool riffs but I don't think is a riff fest, and I don't think it's a lot to take in.
So that leaves me with Music to adventure by, or Atmosphere is :censored ing incredible!? Let's go with Atmosphere for now.

I think Panther was a brilliant album. Again different from what they’ve done before. Restless Boy is my favourite from it and I think it might be among my favourite Pain of Salvation tracks, though ranking this band is difficult. I used to listen to Pain of Salvation a LOT and some of their songs are very dear to me. I completely agree that if you want to hear what PoS sounds like ‘usually’ (or like the majority of their stuff), then Restless Boy is a bad choice. I didn’t want to do that and just give Deadeye this awesome track. But Deadeye, by all means go check out everything they’ve done!

Yeah, I bought the vinyl when it came out. I thought Deadeye being a massive Iron Maiden and Def Leppard fan would find it interesting. Dianno, Clive Burr, Janick Gers, and....Pete Willis, which as far as I know, this is the only thing he would ever surface on. Oh, plus Neil Murray on bass.
It's a shame, because the one thing I took from the Def Leppard Early Years set was how much better Pete Willis was than I remember. He was a REALLY good guitar player. It's a shame he faded so fast after coming so close to the sun.

The members that actually recorded the EP was quite different than intended. A sheet was included with the vinyl of the backstory. Originally Johnathan King wanted John Entwistle. I don’t remember the rest.

I read that somewhere, too. King's a wierdo. He also discovered and named "Genesis".

You still doing okay, Deadeye?
Yeah, just got real busy real quick. Picked up a full day’s work today and Dad needed help yesterday, sooooo I’m behind already. Sorry!
-
No worries man, life happens. I didn't realize how unscheduled my day was when I did my roulette. Plus you got a lot of people and a lot of music to get through.
-
Yeah, no need to apologize. I thought maybe you were feeling unwell again.

Well, my god, there were some fantastic songs in this one! Let’s waste no more time than I already have through the sicknesses and get to the writeups!
Transatlantic - Black As The Sky
Sent by jingle.boy
Here comes a band that should be no stranger to me, yet I barely know outside of that one 75 minute song. My first impression was “music to adventure to” because I was playing Jedi: Fallen Order at the time and the song met the feeling of exploration and discovery that the song was accompanying. Listening to the song again outside of that, it feels exactly as adventurous to me. The upbeat tone of Neal’s keyboards make me want to explore! The jovial nature of the song as a whole makes me want to get up and go and adventure! I love that you sent the live version of this as well, meaning I got to watch these guys having a lot of fun with it! Everything here is great. I love that everyone gets to sing a bit in that bridge.

David Maxim Micic - Where Is Now?
Sent by Buddyhunter1
This is great! A lot of amazing, upbeat instrumentation here with vocal melodies that really hook me in. I love the sound of the violins throughout and that bass tone is amazing! I love the way that the vocals are almost used more as an instrument unto their own more than they are used for lyrics. That scathing solo is really cool! My original impression seems a little un-PC, having seen the rest of the names on this song and knowing that most of these people likely aren’t natively English speakers, but with my comments about how the vocals are used in mind, I still don’t know if it’s necessarily unfair not knowing if these are actual words being sung. This is a mega impressive ride and I can’t wait to revisit this one again!

Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused to Sing
Sent by Sacul
Pretence: I don’t know Jack about Steven Wilson. Like I just looked him up to find out that I’ve already enjoyed two songs from him in round one. I just know he’s pretty highly regarded. As I approached this song, I thought “this might be a bit pretentious for my liking”. I’m glad to say, I don’t think that opinion holds. The piano melody that opens the track gives a fading hopeful feeling with its changing minor/major ending chords. The lyrics are nothing short of bleak. The atmosphere of this track is immense, It’s masterful how well it can build around one rather simple motif. The instrumental section is very impressive, I especially love that flute flourish and it’s really cool how we get to the last two minutes of the song before we hear a guitar at all, which actually really drives that climax. This is just brilliant.

For All We Know - Take Me Home
Sent by kingshmegland
From the first time I heard the intro, I knew this was gonna be something special. I was right. This song pulls off a lot in 6 minutes. I stand by my first impression of this song, the vocal harmonies on this song are superb, with the chorus of this one being one of my favourite moments of this whole roulette. I love that the verses are a little more laid back as it lets that chorus shine even more when it does come in! I love the drama of the bridge and how it carries on into the instrumental section. This whole song puts me in a great mood and it definitely deserves a higher spot on this list. The only thing that doesn’t really do it for me is that the solo feels like it barely kicks in before it’s all over and we’re in that “should I move ahead” section and I would’ve loved one more chorus to take it out.

Rainbow - Fire Dance
Sent by Stadler
Sometimes, the old ways are the best. That Hammond organ sound slaps! The vocals are great, the drumming is in fine shape. The only thing I don’t super love is that I think the guitar is a bit buried until just before the solo. Being Blackmore, I want him up front always. But man, this song is just great beyond all of that. Love it!

Soen - Opal
Sent by Vmadera00
Great riffing the whole way through, there’s a lot of different paths this song goes down and they’re all good! I dig the vocal approach too, staying kinda low and restrained during the verses and letting it come out more for the later sections. I love how the second pre-chorus is all instrumental, because that riff piqued my interest the first time around so getting a full serving of it the second time is a real nice touch! I like the way the more dramatic, heavy riffing is playing around with the intro in a few different ways. The clean jamming in the second half makes for a really cool change too. The only thing I wanted that wasn’t here was a proper guitar solo with those heavy riffs, but that’s just me. Great song!

Enchant - Look Away
Sent by HOF
I do like a good bit of bass stabbing to grab my attention from the start of a song. Vocals sit on this one beautifully, the guitar tone is beautiful. That chorus sticks in my head too. I love the appearance of the distorted guitar in that bridge before it breaks down into an absolute ripper of a guitar solo! There’s not a lot I can really say about this one, it’s just really good and I love it a lot. Great performance from everyone all around on this one. The outro solo is pretty amazing too and I’m so glad the song has the decency to let it play out in full because fading solos is a real pet peeve.

Angel Dust - Bleed
Sent by wolfking
Wow! That vocalist! I’m constantly hearing 3 different people in there and yet it stays totally original too, how awesome! Onto the song, I love it too. That intro build is really cool, reminds me of Edguy a bit. I love that the piano motif keeps cutting in too and that nice heavy bass synth effect in the verses is killer. Great soloing too, I like the way it stops for that title line to come in strong! This song is short, it works well for it, but I already wanna hear more of this guy.

VOLA - Stone Leader Falling Down
Sent by romdrums
I love that intro. All soaked in effect and trippy as hell, and then it just slaps you in the face with heaviness! By the time the vocal kicks in, I’m sold. This is ballsy and I love it! The few hits of really heavy vocal hit me just right, I love that djenty bridge riff offset by the keyboards. This is GREAT!! Could’ve easily been much longer than this, added more sections. This one whets my appetite very nicely, but I want more and I want it now!

Dead Letter Circus - The Mile
Sent by Tomislav95
Punchy! This makes its presence known pretty quickly and then develops from there nicely. I like the note choice from the singer here, utilising that falsetto to emphasise the second half of each line. It’s a fairly short song all up, which I think works in the song’s favour. Nice and driving rock with a bit of prog to it for good measure.

Gogmagog - I Will Be There
Sent by TAC
Gogmagog feels like a band that isn’t quite the sum of their parts when you see the amount of mega talented people that are on this song. Di’Anno, Gers and Pete Willis are great talents that can play some real cool stuff and here comes this real simple, poppy song. But damn, this works for me! This reminds me of Brian May’s version of Since You’ve Been Gone, which I love. Di’Anno’s usual punk voice feels very right on this song, the main lead motif is pretty rockin’ even if it is simple. This actually really makes me want to investigate Gogmagog further to see if they did something with a little more substance, but what's here is thoroughly enjoyable.

Pineapple Thief - Demons
Sent by senecadawg2
I do like it when bands go a bit more laid back and put out songs with more of an acoustic approach and that’s what I get from this. A little bit of electric guitar highlighting the lead lines, sure, but there is a whole lot of acoustic guitar and bass underlying this too. The vocals are great, the whole vibe of this one is great. The real atmospheric section after the second chorus is my favourite section of the song for sure, but the whole thing rocks!

Between the Buried and Me - Voice of Trespass
Sent by Revenge319
That intro is really great and I love how the jazzy nature carries over into the verses. The acoustic solo is great and it stays on point while it stays here. Then the harsh vocals start… I actually really like his clean vocal here and that little half-distortion thing he does during his scatting a little further into the song, but when he goes for the full harsh vocals here, it really doesn’t hit me right. It’s a bit of a shame too because instrumentally this is really cool. I think the cymbals get in the way a little during the first bridge section though, at least for my ears. There’s a lot to like here! The composition as a whole is super complex and pulled off really well. I love the “we are hollow” section too and the riff that follows it is pure gold! It’s an enjoyable whole, but I wish he used his cleaner style a lot more.

Voices From the Fuselage - Meteorites
Sent by lonestar
Simply put, the vocals are easily the highest point of this song for me. The instrumental is all decent, actually I really like a few of the instrumental passages, but it’s really the vocal that holds me throughout a lot of this. That section with the autotune-robotic effect is one of the best things in this roulette for my money and the way it breaks into that next heavy bridge from there is awesome. But it feels like this song kinda dangles the carrot there and doesn’t get that good again for me. What is here, I really like, but I kinda want to hear more of the somber ballad moments that this presented than the heavy. Production wise, the drums sound a little programmed to me, and I feel like the guitar tone could’ve been a little stronger during the more rhythm-forward moments. I do like the sound of the bass, the lead guitars and the mixture of acoustics and clean guitars they use throughout. Solid song, I’m keen to check out more, but I really want to hear more of those ballad moments.

Fair to Midland - Say When
Sent by ReaperKK
This song is really intriguing. With a start like it had, I thought this was going ti be very restrained all throughout and never really hit it’s stride. I was very wrong. The way that this song is structured puts all the elements together by the halfway point, but leaves a whole lot of room to keep building out and out and unravelling as it goes along. The vocal is really well suited to the sound of this song, I love the orchestral elements in the background, but I feel it’s a little short. Or at least the main body of the song feels that way. The last minute and a half is taken up by a really strange outro that I truly don’t understand and kinda drags the song down. I’m assuming this is an interlude piece to wherever the parent album goes from here, or is a coda to the album or whatever, but attached to this song, it’s a real head scratching “WTF were they thinking here” moment.

Spirit Adrift - Angel & Abyss
Sent by Puppies_On_Acid
I’m sorry to say it Puppies, but my reaction to this is very similar to your first impression of my 2nd EP in your Roulette. The clean riff that sets off our verses reminds me a lot of Snuff by Slipknot, which is super cool, but it’s during these sections that this vocalist just doesn’t hit my ear right. Still, once he’s hitting those heavier chorus, I’m all in for it. The song kinda goes in and out of the clean and heavy for a while and it’s doing it well enough, but then with about 2 and a half minutes left is when this thing really kicks into high gear. That bridge section is perfect for this vocalist, the riffing gets really good and then the soloing starts! Oh my good, yes! Add into a few really nice harmony guitars and this whole thing closes out with a bang! I want more THAT! I love that little Ozzy-esque laugh as the song starts to fade away too. Those 2 and a half minutes work for me so much better than much of the 4 minutes that precede it, so I think I have to mark this lower than the merits of that section deserve.

Leprous - Third Law
Sent by twosuitsluke
I have always enjoyed Einar’s voice in the guest appearances he’s made with Haken and Voyager, but I’ve never come around to Leprous. A lot of this one feels very weird as is the genre, I suppose, but I don’t know how well this song really worked for me. All that said, the chorus of this song is fairly awesome and was stuck in my head for a fair while after hearing this fir the first time. I feel like I need to point out that the weirdness of this one is what’s getting me. I think the performance on this song as a whole is pretty great, the drumming especially, but I don’t know that this is the most ideal song for the first time listener. I’m intrigued to hear something a little more straightforward, so it’s still done it’s job. I don’t know, this just sits weird for me.

Pain of Salvation - RESTLESS BOY
Sent by Elite
Ok, I thought these guys were a heavier prog band, but this feels a lot more suited to modern rap that you’d hear on a commercial radio station. And the intro vocals are all vocoded, which is interesting. This really isn’t what I expected from these guys at all. But as it goes along, I find myself enjoying it! The really heavy double bass and vocal pattern is actually really cool. It’s certainly interesting, but I hope they don’t quit their usual sound.

Glad you liked the FtM track. When I read your write-up I completely forgot about the end bit, that whole album has little interstitial bits here and there :lol

Voice of Trespass scored higher than I thought it would! Glad to hear you liked it.
I will send for Round 4 soon.

Deadeye, I'm happy with the 4 for Gogmagog. Unfortunately, there's not much else. I Will Be There is the most accessible song from a 3 track EP. I just thought you'd find it interesting with Ex and future Iron Maiden members and an ex Def Leppard member.
And I sent last week for the next round...

Nice! Still in first place after 3 rounds. I went back and forth on a couple Enchant songs before landing on Look Away, partly on the strength of the two solos. But that bass intro is also a really great hook. Definitely a great band you need to check out, though I’ll actually say the album Look Away is from is one of my least favorite from them. It suffers a bit from weaker production than the others. Look Away is one of a few really high points on the album though.

Based on your writeup, definitely check out the rest of their work. Ashe is a tremendous vocalist.

I can't imagine anyone else would send Third Law but I personally love it and it was the first song of theirs I loved. Einar has many an epic chorus, and I just find the drumming kinda mesmerising. But I suppose it could be considered weird.

I mean, Allegaeon was guessed a good day before Asterism, and I've made my adoration of Allegaeon well known.
Definitely wouldn't have sent that track though, a bit too close to the source for me, they got much, much better stuff to send in my opinion.

Duke Ellington was already mentioned mate above.
Yeah, my bad. I can’t work the algorithm quite right. I have to input it manually if just the song or just the artist gets solved.

Parthenogenesis was my second choice for the 2:30 and under round.

My only issue with that track is it's too derivative of the original work, too much Bach, not enough Allegaeon, but that's just my personal opinion. It's no mistake they'd do this one, Burgess was initially a classically trained guitarist, and has chops equivalent to anyone out there on all fronts.

I just want Allegaeon to do more Rush covers... :metal

Lonestar, not to be a dick, but this is bad form to slag a song before scores are presented.

First impressions time!
Both tranquil and dramatic at the same time.
Amazing piano playing
There’s such a great upbeat vibe to this!
This thing hooked me from the start and didn’t let go!!
Some real nice guitar work here
Something about orchestras just takes epic and elevates it to a whole other dimension!
This was a little much for it’s own good.
I like how everyone gets a moment to shine in this one!
Upbeat and rocking with some great leads to boot.
This was amazing! Great playing from everyone in this one.
This is beautiful. Amazingly skilled lead guitar complimented by a really nice acoustic guitar in the backing.
I love the guitar tones on this one.
It would be easy to say great guitar playing, but that bass solo!
This one is actually really cool, I love how it keeps changing!
I do love a good bit of horn every now and then!
This feels like a jam session captured in the studio and if that’s the case, I wish I had been there.
Bringing a new definition of old school to this roulette and I’m all for it!
Some real nice keyboard work on display here!

To be fair that was my first reaction to that album as well, now I think it's near-perfect.
I fear that it's Asterism only because Dawn clocks in at over 9 minutes.
And Sleep is 23 minutes, in case you didn't know. :lol

Alright, where the hell was I up to.
Is mine the one about the amazing piano playing?
Nope.
Am I the orchestra?
Yep.
Gotta be “Amazing piano playing.”
Indeed.
This thing hooked me from the start and didn’t let go!!
Some real nice guitar work here
This was a little much for it’s own good.
I love the guitar tones on this one.
This feels like a jam session captured in the studio and if that’s the case, I wish I had been there.
This one?
Yours is in there, but it isn’t the one you’ve selected.
What about the 'hooked me from the start' one then?
That one isn’t yours, sorry. Though it was a great tune.

More than probably. You are correct.
Chad, I think this is yours.
Bringing a new definition of old school to this roulette and I’m all for it!
I just figured that one was either Deep Purple or Duke Ellington. Classical Gas doesn't sound old-school to me.
:dunno:
You’re on the right track. It’s definitely one of the two.
Both tranquil and dramatic at the same time.

Very pleased this was it. Got a lot of work to do if I stand a snowball's chance in hell of winning, but I'm glad you're digging what I sent. I'll pm you a live video of this track they did when the guitarist was 16...it's not just her playing, her stage presence for such a youngster is unbelievable. I've gone on record many times saying she is the top guitarist of her generation.

This round was a super hard one to judge. So much great stuff here, you’ve all picked great tracks. Let’s get into it.
Asterism - Dawn
Sent by lonestar
This is the one for me this round. From the captivating clean guitars that turn into an incredibly heavy riff (which I didn’t realise until further replays was playing over the original clean) and then into just insane lead skills and more insane riffing. This is just so well composed that it keeps me on my toes the whole time wondering what’s coming next! This thing is ten minutes long (almost), but it really doesn’t feel like it at all! Then we get that beautiful section of clean guitars and a bass solo that just turns into the most feel good melodic solo! Goddamn, I love this track! And though it doesn’t effect anything, holy hell they’re all so young! Try not making it so hard for anyone else to compare next time. There are other 5/5s on this list, but they don’t stack up quite as high on this list as this one does!

Challenger Deep - 100 Years
Sent by romdrums
It’s really cool when a band can pull off being upbeat and yet stay heavy. This pulls it off really nicely. The leads in this are really nice, I really dig that bendy pattern. I actually find it pretty hard to pick a favourite element or section in this song. There’s just so much to love on this one!
5 + 1
Angel Vivaldi - Sea of Heartbreak
Sent by romdrums
This one took me by surprise a little because I was really not expecting the acoustic guitar and electric leads to sound so great together. But this track is an absolute standout. This almost gives me some Petrucci vibes at times, but it’s always amazing. Even at almost 5 and a half minutes of great soloing, it never overstays it’s welcome. There’s a cool little bass lead in there, the mixing is great, the tones are beautiful. This one stands high in the rankings for sure.

From Monument to Masses - Beyond God & Elvis
Sent by ReaperKK
Mate, I gotta hand it to you. This was an unexpected highlight. That upbeat main section was really beautiful and played really nicely. I liked that the heavier rhythmic sections never became too overpowering and kept control perfectly so it was seamless to come back to the upbeat stuff. And then that second half was even nicer! The section after that little speech was so epic too. Totally worth the full marks!
5 + 1
Russian Circles - Death Rides a Horse
Sent by Tomislav95
You know what’s really cool about this song to me is the way my perspective is shifted during the first section. With the repetitive lead, I’m now listening more to the rhythm section that’s constantly changing underneath. The cleaver section soon after is really interesting and then it never really lets up from there with the cool leads. That super heavy riff around the 3 minute mark is one of my favourite individual riffs in this round. As said in the impressions, I love that everyone is getting a chance to shine here, with the rhythm guitar taking a lot of the first half, a cool bass lead and even a drum break before this all ends super heavy!

This is just a powerhouse of piano playing through and through, but that drummer does an admirable job of keeping up with Gleb (who I’m assuming is a woman based in the cover photo?). This song is plenty short in the scheme of this round and though I miss hearing a bit of guitar underneath (more than made up for by the ending though), this is fantastic and captivating! Wasn’t expecting the saxophone here and I’ve forgotten about it every time I’ve heard this track, so it’s a nice surprise. Such skill on display here that I really want to check out more from Gleb. There’s a really proggy vibe to this and it really kicks ass! Nice choice, HOF.

Why not go for the least obvious choice, hey Elite? It worked out for you real nicely. I don’t listen to a lot of the old big band type stuff, but I often enjoy it when I do. Duke Ellington just has such a soul to his music and this was no exception. This is just classic big band music at it’s best. Amazing choice, I really didn’t expect anyone to go there! I actually would’ve liked this one to go a little bit longer, if I’m honest. Maybe get a bit more of that piano in there. But I’m not here to nitpick.

Steve Morse - Cruise Missile
Sent by kingshmegland
Steve Morse is way beyond talented as a guitarist. If you doubt that statement, I recommend you check this one out. There’s so many cool riffs and motifs on display here that it’s insane. But, a good guitarist alone doesn’t make a good song. My highlight is actually the bass solo and even more so, the way it ends in that unison between bass and guitar. Everything here is firing on all cylinders and it’s super fun to listen to. Good pick, mate.

Alleageon - Concerto in Dm
Sent by TAC
This is fairly awesome. I love the way the heavy rocking blends in with the orchestra on this one. It’s a killer performance. The acoustics are a nice break in the action too. This is actually fairly great, not going to lie. But I think it’s actually maybe not as high up as I originally thought. This does go on a little long for me by the time it ends. All up though, it is a real cool show of talent.

Lorri Porra - Dislocated
Sent by Buddyhunter1
I don’t quite know how I feel about this one. The first minute and a half or so takes a while to build up, but then that piano/guitar melody kicks in. There’s a few guitar lines in here that remind me of Rush’s Grace Under Pressure actually. Those big orchestral moments just kinda kill the mood for me a bit, but they always lead somewhere interesting. The bass solo on this is a definite highlight, like damn!

East of the Wall - Precious Memories
Sent by Revenge319
This one is super heavy! Huge props to the rhythm section on this one actually, the bass and drum work on this is really good. The guitars are nice and fat and churning out really good riffs and leads. I think Precious Memories is probably the most misleading title they could’ve come up with for this one though. This is a juggernaut of a track! The riff towards the end (around the 3:30 mark) is my favourite of the song. There’s maybe a little too much going on at times, but man, I like it!

BADBADNOTGOOD - Confessions
Sent by Sacul
With many of these tracks being your usual rocking instrumental affair, this one was quite different. I really like the backing, especially in that intro. The sax solo is real nice too, showing off a lot of skilful playing. There’s not really a lot to say about this one. This wouldn’t usually be my scene at all, so I’m glad you took the risk here.

Pink Floyd - Marooned
Sent by Puppies_On_Acis
This was a great pick. There’s something about this one that feels so serene, but so dramatic too. I guess being marooned doesn’t mean you can’t be somewhere beautiful at the same time, right? This feels way shorter than it is too, which is always good. It’s not one that has a whole lot to it, but what’s here is really nice.

Mason Williams - Classical Gas
Sent by jingle.boy
“Now play Classical Gas” - Lenny Leonard, The Simpsons, Last Exit to Springfield.
If you’re a classic Simpsons fan, you’ve heard one of the main motifs of this song, but probably not the song itself, right? You’re making a mistake. Mason Williams’ guitar playing on this whole track is great, and the strings supporting it are fantastic. The second section with the horns is quite a cool switch up. This is just a really good listen even if it’s age means the brass is a little clippy in spots.

Black Mages - Force Your Way
Sent by Twosuitsluke
I know it’s from a video game, but I don’t like that it feels too much like it’s from a video game, if that makes sense? The composition is really cool, but instead of focussing solely on the music, I find my kind drifting wondering what context this music goes with. What level, is there a boss fight? To be fair, a lot of that probably comes down to the sound font used here. There’s actually some real cool motifs, I especially like the moments where it goes to the small bit of halftime before going back to the driving beat again. Those swirling leads that pop up intermittently are pretty cool too.

Deep Purple - Son of Alerik
Sent by Stadler
Being fair, you can never complain about a jam session with world class musicians like Deep Purple. But reading up on this one, it seems like that’s more or less what we have on offer here. A ten minute long Ritchie Blackmore guitar solo caught in the studio that didn’t make the original cut of the Perfect Strangers vinyl but was put out with the CD re-release years later. As good as it is, I get why. I don’t think we needed all of this since it massively stays over the same chords. As we get into the last couple of minutes, we do get a nice bit of keyboard which is cool, but it’s not a lot to drastically change it up. This feels like a legendary jam session that it would’ve been cool to be a fly on the wall for, but I really think this could’ve been edited down significantly without losing all that much.

Agalloch - Odal
Sent by wolfking
The clean tone on this song is absolutely beautiful, like tone goals beautiful! The ambient lead guitars are a really intriguing choice that I absolutely love. The military like rhythm going into the third minute of this is a cool choice. The thing for me is that this song feels very same-y after a little while. I think this is more of a song I’d want to have in in the background of doing something else than one I would purposely seek out to listen to. The piano coda is quite nice though.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Sleep
Sent by Senecadawg2
Sleep starts very interestingly with a spoken word passage about Coney Island before going into it’s first main motif. This has subtle evolutions to it that eventually culminate into the second idea which gets more dramatic before going into a weird section of distorted guitars. The problem is, for me, this song is best in it’s last 6 minutes. I feel like the 16 and a half minutes are a little long in the tooth and leave me waiting for it to really kick in. There’s some great playing all throughout and each idea is interesting as it starts up. Unfortunately though, it takes so long to take hold for me that when we get into those last 6 minutes, I’ve lost a lot of my interest in the track. It’s a shame as there is some really amazing stuff here for the patient, but it lives up to it’s namesake for a lot of it’s runtime.

Nice to see Precious Memories did alright! I'd recommend checking out The Apologist, the album this song is from, though I will say there are some harsh vocals that sound very... unique. It's an acquired taste. There are a few other instrumental tracks on that album though, so even if the songs with vocals don't do anything for you, I think you'll probably enjoy the other instrumental tracks at least.
As for my next submission... It's time to get obscure. My score and ranking in this roulette will probably crash and burn after this, but hey, it's about having fun, right?

I just love this tune. This music camp I went to, the big band started their performance with this song last year and I didn't know what it was. I was blown away by the massive sound of all the horns and it took me a while to figure out what tune it actually was that they played. This year, I was in the big band and we performed this same tune again! That was awesome to do, even though there's basically no role for guitar, other than play a solo and provide accompaniment during the other solos.
Now, whereas Duke Ellington started his career in the twenties and was at the top of the big band swing era in the 30s and 40s, this particular tune isn't actually that old-school. It's from 1967! Duke Ellington led his orchestra basically up to his death in 1974. Glad you enjoyed it :)

Still holding onto first place! Figured you’d get a bunch of guitar stuff and decided to go a different route. Gleb is actually a man (funny name though!), though I don’t suppose it would be easy to tell from the covert art. Ironically he’s one half of the duo iamthemorning with the other half being a female vocalist. I’ve never quite gotten into their music, but his solo album is really cool. That’s Gavin Harrison (of Porcupine Tree and others) on drums for that track and most of the album I believe. Some cool guest spots by Marillion’s Steve Hogarth and even Jordan Rudess. If you liked that track, it’s worth checking out for sure.
And sent!

This one might be a YouTube centric round. Feel free to use YT for all your alternate version submissions.
Nope. It's too bad you don't know the original(s) of my submission.
I’m not asking for the originals. I’m saying it might be be easier to send the alternate version you’re submitting from YT rather than Spotty for this one.
Trust me. ;)
Chad's being cryptic...even I don't know what he's trying to insinuate. He's getting ready to go full Shmegland on us.
Nevah!

In all fairness, I need to check back in with some people, so it’s my fault. I do actually have a submission from everyone, but I just realised there’s one that I should’ve asked to have changed a week ago. So tho the person I did that to, I’m sorry that I suck.

The original does have a somewhat different vibe to it, but unlike every other song Devin has "remade" over the years (e.g. Kingdom, Truth) I'd be hard-pressed to think of a single thing about the original that I prefer to the remade version.
Why the hell didn't I send Kingdom as my backup, now that I'm thinking about it? :lol Well, not like it matters now.

Correct. It's a different version of the same song. The ending is different as well. They released that version on their greatest hits album.

Were they part of the Unplugged session, or maybe a drawn out live version?

Even Flow - drummer changes the groove, the ending ight’ve been different.
Jeremy - Unplugged.

Jeremy on Unplugged is my definitive version

I get a real Floyd-y feeling from this one. Very cool song.

Kaki King - Sad American: I actually love the way that tuning the guitar is incorporated into the song here.
I think the title plus artist is pretty defining of how I feel about this band.
Is this not the more classic version of the song? This is brilliant!

Evergrey - Trilogy of the Damned
Sent by jingle.boy
First cab off the rank this morning, Jingle. This song is a actually really nice, very moving. I really like the story, which as you told me, is taken from 3 separate songs. This really works for me in that respects. The only thing for me is that I kinda wish it had a chance to really ramp up and rock out more towards the end since, as it ism it's 9 minutes of just piano and a vocal that sounds like it's designed for a more bombastic backing track. The solo in the middle track of this trilogy is really tasteful, I love the piano tones, his voice sounds amazing (and quite familiar, did this guy sing with Ayreon at some point?). What's here is amazing, I just wish I had a chance to get even more out of it.

Devin Townsend Project - Hyperdrive!
Sent by both Puppies_On_Acid and Buddyhunter1
Hmm, you guys got lucky here. This is a straight banger! I think the changes made to this song really help it. I find Devin's original vocal for the track a little uninspiring, where Anneke's voice is as amazing as always and leads to the song being as big as it deserves to be. The guitar tone is much richer giving it a lot more body. This is just fantastic, and easily an early highlight of this round. I wish there was maybe a little more of solo section at the end there, granted, but the riff is killer, the lyrics are captivating and I find myself enjoying it every time I listen to it. You've both earned yourself 6 points!

Ulver - Nowhere (Sweet Sixteen)
Sent by Sacul
This track has such a sense of foreboding to it, helped by the lower register of the singer and the choice of tones and chords all around. I actually get a big feeling of Welcome to the Machine from this one, it's great! The use of tambourine is actually an unexpected highlight. I find myself simultaneously loving and hating that little spoken section, the "and your last thought is that you have become noise". It's certainly an intriguing song. It's immense and brooding, but it's also kinda beautiful in the way it pulls it all together. The weird thing to me is that when he hits that chorus in the upper register, it sounds somewhat hopeful in spite of the darker lyrics.Yeah, nice choice.

Trivium - Bleed Into Me
Sent by Vmadera00
I love this song, I love this album. But this doesn't work. This is such a rocking song on the album that the acoustic version kinda castrates it to me. That post-chorus riff is such a banger on the heavy version and the lack of that bass line is criminal. That said, I like hearing Matt's harmonies a little more prominently than I did on the album. But yeah, this feels like campfire music to me, not the banger that I know it to be. I remembered this one to be much better than it is.

Prefab Sprout - When Love Breaks Down
Sent by HOF
This is a song that I wouldn't give a chance outside of a roulette I feel, but man, this is pretty. I actually really enjoyed this one. The whole song kinda makes my heart happy, which I feel like it shouldn't, but the guitar tones on display are so nice. I love the melodic lead break that shows up every now and then. His voice is a little breathy, but it really suits the lyric here. I'm thinking I really need to check out the original because I'm wondering why this wouldn't be the definitive version. It's just nice! There's really not a whole lot more to say

Anathema - One Last Goodbye
Sent by Senecadawg2
This was a new laptop too, you bugger!
I really can't say a lot about this one. The piano and gentle acoustic guitar strumming giving way to the string ensemble about halfway through makes the whole thing suddenly take the full eight of the lyric. That lyric is amazingly deep. I feel the loss this song is about, I start tearing up by the halfway point, and that instrumental coda just tops it off for me. This is a work of art. Now make it end before something gets too wet to function from the tears that are pouring out of me. You've redeemed yourself after one of my least favourites last round, Seneca. Good job.

Thin Lizzy - Don't Believe a Word
Sent by TAC
After the Def Leppard write-ups earlier this year, I got really into the original rocking version of this song. I thought it was a killer riff that helped to heighten the attitude of the lyric.
And then you pulled this out. I heard the clean guitars start up and I thought it was gonna kill everything I felt towards it. But this is actually better! Where to begin? I love. the soulful way Phil sings on this version. I love the whole atmosphere of it. And when that first solo kicks in, you remember how great the guitarists of from Thin Lizzy are. But man, the way they end it off by going back into the rocked out version at the end of the song is actually amazing, I didn't expect it at all. This is the perfect way to change up such a classic song. It's respectful to the original, but changes it up in just the right ways to give you a new experience with it!

Pearl Jam - Jeremy
Sent by Tomislav95
Remember when MTV was something special? These Unplugged sessions were truly something special. This isn't the only song on this list that comes from such a show, but I'm sure as hell gonna bring it up now as Pearl Jam's session was one of the biggest after Nirvana.
This version of Jeremy is actually the one I prefer, live and raw yet lacking absolutely nothing. Vedder sings it with everything he's got. The band hit those riffs hard like they're unaware of the fact they're playing acoustically, this just fires on all cylinders perfectly. It's definitely got a few rough edges though. I don't really like that "door door door" thing that Eddie's doing there and he can be pretty pitchy at times. But, this is pretty quintessential and I think this is probably more iconic than the original version of the song, at least for me. Great pick, Tomislav!

Kaki King - Sad American
Sent by ReaperKK.
I son't know if you guys would have ever heard about it, but there was apparently once a festival where (I think it was) Coldplay tuned their guitars on stage and everyone lost their minds about how good the 'new song' was. I found it funny then, but listening to the start of this, I can see some merit to it. What we get out of this is actually a bit of a performance style of tuning before the show actually starts up. She starts messing around a little and making some impromptu licks while she's checking it all out. It's pretty cool.
But with a simple "ok", the real event starts here. I love good acoustic guitar instrumentals and this certainly is one. This could easily be used in a soundtrack with someone travelling around, I can see lots of pretty location shots. There's a few nice quick note sections that really hook me in as a lead. There's a feeling of searching here. I love the whole thing, it's just hard to describe instrumentals. Good pick Reaper.

Pearl Jam - Even Flow
Sent by kingshmegland
Different drummers provide different takes on the material. I've always felt this to be true. I've heard a band that I used to play drums for with someone else and it actually sounded completely different. What this track proves is that even there classics are no exception to this. It also proves hat sometimes, a fresh perspective can really breathe new life into a song.
Not only does this version of the song feature a much more powerful drum performance, but I can hear more of the lead guitars and the vocal harmonies in the chorus. This song is and always was great. And it's really bouncy here! There's so many tings in this version that I can hear that I had never heard before. It's such a great song and it's just cool to hear it with a different perspective. I way prefer this version to the original, so cheers for that King.

And it's really bouncy here! There's so many tings in this version that I can hear that I had never heard before. It's such a great song and it's just cool to hear it with a different perspective. I way prefer this version to the original, so cheers for that King.

Guns n Roses - November Rain
Sent by Stadler
We had a good long chat about this song in particular the other day. For me, the original version of this song is a bloated mess. Axl thinks he's larger than life behind the piano and it just keeps ironing on and on. THere's only 2 really good things about the original IMO and that's Slash's fantastic solos and the coda section containing the final solo and the "don't you think that you need somebody, you're not the only one". Other than those moments, I find the song painful to get through more often than not and knowing that they play it at every show is making me really not look forward to those 9 and a half minutes in November where I'll be taking it in live. But that's the full version that this demo became. Let's see what's in store here.
Right off the bat, this has a very different vibe. This feels like it could have been another Patience if it was left to play out the way it does here. Admittedly, the little breathy high thing after every line is really overdone. But, I like this version of the verses much more. Axl's voice doesn't sound quite as strong as it does on the finished product, but this is a demo. The other thing that bothers me is that I really miss Slash's soloing here. This version stands to prove to me that the song could've been very different. I'd love to hear a version that's done more like this that includes proper drums and Slash's solos that culminates in the fantastic ending that the full version gives us. Oh, what could have been.

Queensryche - The Killing Words
Sent by romdrums
I'm not a huge Queensryche fan, apart from the original Mindcrime album, so this is my only exposure to the bands outside of that. Funnily enough, this makes me wish that DT had been given a chance to do an MTV Unplugged during the Awake era, I reckon Another Day done his way would've been amazing. Geoff's voice sounds strong here and the riffing is pretty decent.I like the solo a lot. The drummer is definitely having a great time on this one. I also think this one suits the unplugged style more than the studio version. I like the way that the last chorus is the ending. It's too late to take the chance a gain, there's really nothing left so why keep going? It's a decent song and it makes me keen to check out m ore Queensryche in future. How'd this stack up in KevShmev's Queensryche countdown?

Jorn - Starfire
Sent by Wolfking
Straight off the bat I love the effect on the vocals going into the heavy riff! I haven't heard a single verse and I know I'm in for a good time! The verses don't really hold the same energy and the pre chorus goes a step down from there, but it gives the chorus a really good tension to it. I don't know that I like how quickly the energy seems to dissipate after that main riff is gone. I do like the key change to the second pre-chorus though. The harmonised lead after the second chorus is pretty cool. I think the pre-chorus following this is the best version of it throughout the song. The full solo at the end of the track is actually pretty baller. I don't know that this song delivered on everything I really wanted out of it from what it felt that the intro promised, but it's pretty great. all the same.

Focus - Hocus Pocus
Sent by twosuitsluke
This is what happens when You don't have long enough to actually play the song at a gig. Don't get me wrong, everyone did a really admirable job of performing at a high level for a song that really isn't meant to be played at this BPM. Especially that second scatting section, that's hilarious. Here's the thing, OI think the song is actually better at this tempo. It feels like it just keeps getting faster as well, it's cool actually! I can't resist the urge to make this joke, but these guys must have had to really Focus on getting right when they had to speed it up just the once.

Leprous - Acquired Taste
Sent by Elite
Sorry to say it, but this is pretty much the most accurate title to describe the band a s a whole for me so far. Leprous are an Acquired Taste, one that I haven't acquired as yet.
The piano riff is actually really intriguing and I like Einar's voice. The kick-off into the full band section is really well done and it's all going nicely. But despite me liking everything that's going on, it just seems to fall flat when Einar starts singing again. The verse after this starts to turn me off completely. By removing the piano melody that was supporting it, the vocal melody just feels a littler bit all over the shop. What follows from there, the haunting melody is a nice touch, but it kinda kills the song dead in its tracks and has next to nothing to do with where we started from. I don't know if it's a fault of the live version or the songwriting itself, but I feel lost from here. I really wish they'd put some actual lyrics into the back half instead of letting him waffle around for 5 minutes just signing "ahh ahh", you know? He's got a melody, so why not utilise it! I kinda like all the parts, but I don't like the sum. It's weird.Don't stop trying to get me into Leprous though, because I almost got there this time.

Band-Maid - Domination
Sent by lonestar
I don't understand a word but I'm having a ball with this! Guess you don't really always need lyrics if the tune is this good hey? The riffs are awesome, I really like that stop/start trade off the guitarists do in the second, I wanna say, pre-chorus. Then that instrumental section starts up. I love the riff, but that's more is I love that everyone is having a go at soloing here, kicking off with the bass before we go into a guitar solo and then a cool little unison bit before the drum solo. Yeah, this is just a good time!

Yuyoyuppe - Palette
Sent by Revenge319
And my last song for today, it's certainly been a ride!
I love the instrumental work here, it's all pretty technical on at least one instrument at all times and yet stays really ambient and non-intrusive to the vocals. It's amazingly well done. As said about Domination, I don't understand a word, but in this one I get a lot more out of the vocals as well. She has a beautiful voice and, and mentioned in my first impression for this one, the chorus harmony is beyond AMAZING! That bridge section is really cool too. There's a lot to love here and I feel like it were in English, this would be constant on my playlists. What a cool little track. Shame I can't give you the bonus point (though this song will be ranked where in terms pf the round, not the bonus point).

Pearl Jam - Jeremy
Sent by Tomislav95
Remember when MTV was something special? These Unplugged sessions were truly something special. This isn't the only song on this list that comes from such a show, but I'm sure as hell gonna bring it up now as Pearl Jam's session was one of the biggest after Nirvana.
This version of Jeremy is actually the one I prefer, live and raw yet lacking absolutely nothing. Vedder sings it with everything he's got. The band hit those riffs hard like they're unaware of the fact they're playing acoustically, this just fires on all cylinders perfectly. It's definitely got a few rough edges though. I don't really like that "door door door" thing that Eddie's doing there and he can be pretty pitchy at times. But, this is pretty quintessential and I think this is probably more iconic than the original version of the song, at least for me. Great pick, Tomislav!

I only recently checked out Pearl Jam's unplugged set and honestly it's one of my favorites. Like you said they used be so great, Nirvana, AIC, Kiss all had great unplugged shows.

Prefab Sprout - When Love Breaks Down
Sent by HOF
This is a song that I wouldn't give a chance outside of a roulette I feel, but man, this is pretty. I actually really enjoyed this one. The whole song kinda makes my heart happy, which I feel like it shouldn't, but the guitar tones on display are so nice. I love the melodic lead break that shows up every now and then. His voice is a little breathy, but it really suits the lyric here. I'm thinking I really need to check out the original because I'm wondering why this wouldn't be the definitive version. It's just nice! There's really not a whole lot more to say
4.5 + 1
Awesome, glad you liked it! That's what I love about these Roulettes. So the original is very different, and the reason this wasn't the original is that they were recorded over 20 years apart. The Steve McQueen album came out in 1985, and was very much a synth/art pop type of thing with production that was of it's time. They re-recorded most of the album with all acoustic arrangements for a 2007 re-issue. I love what they did with the acoustic versions, and it's really cool to see how much a song can change when you take a totally different approach to it. One of my favorite acoustic recordings by anyone.

What happened to Sarah Machlaclan? That'd be Kingshmegland and Yes would be Stadler.
It's funny, but if I thought of it, I WOULD have sent Yes, and I would have sent that song. It's my favorite song off my favorite album of all time.
That was my original submission, but someone else beat me to it. Great minds, right? ;)

I have processed a lot of music in my roulettes, and I was always on time. Anyone who played in them will vouch. I always kept my pace, even with Stadler going to the spa on the weekends.

Shit, sorry guys. I’ve been wiped out busy the last week or so. I’m gonna listen to these songs when I get home tonight and do impressions and writeups simultaneously. I’m doing real bad at this one, huh?

Nah, you're doing better than expected for your first time with how many participants you let in / how much listening you have per round. :tup

5,5 rounds in 3 months might be the slowest roulette ever, though I’m sure someone will remember an even slower one

5,5 rounds in 3 months might be the slowest roulette ever, though I’m sure someone will remember an even slower one
Nah, mine was a lot slower. I started in September 2020 and ended in March 2021, and there were only five rounds. I think the slow pace in the last two rounds was necessary for me to avoid getting completely burned out on it (I had three times as much music to listen to each round compared to Deadeye's roulette), but I think it's taught me some important things on how I want to run my next roulette which will help me avoid burnout and keep a good pace.
Deadeye, don't feel bad about the roulette going slowly. As far as I can see, all that's happening is that other more important things are getting in the way for you, and I think that's more than okay. As someone who's pretty invested into how this roulette will turn out, I say you should take your time; I don't mind waiting longer than expected. :)

I’m getting feelings of nostalgia and melancholy.
I love the airy feeling of this one.
A main course of shredding with a pretty decent story to boot!
I’m drawn in by the intrigue this intro offers and then the music really kicks in!
This reminds me of Transatlantic. I like it!
Such a beautiful voice
A cool story deserves a cool backing, this delivers!
Why am I not surprised that a band I’ve put off for so long is so me?
This one really captivated me
Is this about a real person?
Mental note: listen to more of this band
You took a risk here, but I think it might pay off.
What an interesting alternate reality!
Possibly the best vibes I’ve gotten in this whole roulette so far!
Feels like optimism. Also feels like something well outside of my usual taste.
Ok, this is just fun to listen to, though the music doesn’t seem to necessarily fit the tone of the story.

I'd say it's one of these three...

That’s the general genre, and the keyboard sounds probably lend to it. The songwriting between the two bands is very different, but they share common vintage prog elements for sure.

Dammit Puppies, you guilted me into it. I'm doing it now. Let's start with yours.
Angra - Temple of Hate
Sent by Puppies_On_Acid
Starting with a riff that is clearly designed to take heads off, this song is instrumental-wise an absolute banger. And as the vocal finally takes precedence, I really love his voice, so I'm already drawn into the song. And by being drawn into this one, it makes me much more receptive to the story. feel like it is a little lacking on the story front in this song alone, but in looking into the album this is from, I see this is simply a chapter of a much larger story. Some of the exact story details this song stands for in the context I can't fully grasp for myself, but hey. I'm keen to check out this whole album and I definitely feel this is a chapter of an ongoing story, so the bonus point is still yours. I came into this wanting to check out Angra for Kiko Loureiro, but I'm leaving it wanting to hear more from Angra as a whole. Top marks!

UFO - Dreaming of Summer
Sent by Stadler
Start with the obvious. The riffing that opens this off is really great. That clean tone is amazing, and the nylon acoustic lead just before the vocals start is really cool. This is another case of the vocals being pretty perfect for the song. Even without the story, this is a really nice sounding song. The story here is one I feel I can relate to, albeit in locations I have never been to. That feeling of trying to hold it all together with no really prospects for a prosperous future, I've absolutely been there.And at the end, things are seeming bleak but the cycle keeps going. It's absolutely a great song. Thanks for sending this one, this is a really good song.

Let's do one of the long suckers now.
Symphony X - The Odyssey
Sent by wolfking
What a grand intro. We get an overture of a theme we're going to be hearing a lot of as this goes on. The opening lyrical section fairly well defines what our story will be about This is a journey home, but one that will be full of perils and dangers.
Taking a moment here to talk about the music. While the guitar playing is fairly great, I find some of the symphonic elements a little artificial sounding which can take me out of it a little. It's a bit of a shame as the melodies and playing is great. I think it may just be me, in all honesty. Vocals here are fairly strong, but what else can you expect from Russel Allen?
Movement III - The Eye - is an absolute banger in my ears. The grit of his vocals, the edginess of the riff. It all comes into play here and it's a real banger of a section. But, it's the instrumental movement, VI - Scylla and Charybdis - that I really sink my teeth into as far as the band's playing goes.
I love the way that the band float between the heavier sections and the more melodic sections with ease in this song as a whole. The story is certainly an intriguing one, definitely one of the strongest stories in this round for my money. As said in my first impression, this one has a whole lot to like about it and a whole lot of song to like it in. It's a great retelling of Homer's Odyssey at the very least.
I think this one is held back from being truly timeless by some of the choices in keyboard tones, a few of which really do nothing for me. But, really, if that's my complaint about this song, what does that tell you? This is excellent, and has a strong prospect of song of the round!

Ben Folds Five - The Last Polka
Sent by Elite
Well, this is definitely an interesting one. Such an upbeat tune for a lyric that really isn't all that upbeat. My interpretation of this song is that it is about a relationship breaking down and the regret it leaves between the two of them. It's quite a fun song in a way, definitely an interesting approach to a lyric like this one, almost adding an urgent emphasis to it. I like this, a lot. But at the same time, I don't know that it has the same impact that other songs here have had. This is very much an 'in the moment' song for me in this round. It's great, I want to come back to it. But I seem to always forget what this one is until I'm listening to it again.

Frost* - Fathom
Sent by romdrums
Ok then. I don't know what Frost* usually sounds like, but if it's usually like this,I'm in. This is so dense and epic sounding and I love it! This is the story of someone facing in love, but unfortunately being shot down in battle. It's almost generic of a story, we've seen this told time and again. But this is different. The presentation of it is amazing. To find out that this was on an EP of songs called "Others" makes me think that this isn't one they really put out as A-List material, which I think is a really sad thing. This is great. This actually could've been a lot longer and still have kept my interest.

Symphony X - The Odyssey
Sent by wolfking
What a grand intro. We get an overture of a theme we're going to be hearing a lot of as this goes on. The opening lyrical section fairly well defines what our story will be about This is a journey home, but one that will be full of perils and dangers.

Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys
Sent by TAC
With an intro as strongly intriguing as this, I'm sucked in quickly. There's definitely some cool stuff here, but the lead in to the first chorus hits me weirdly. The "Our only hope's your victory" tempo fluctuations just hit me weird. The verse is really cool. The singer reminds me of Geoff Tate a bit. I actually really like the idea of each of the keys being thrown into seas of hate, fear, etc. The instrumental section that plays around the "throw the key" sections is actually pretty interesting. This is actually a really cool song. This is such a cool idea for a story and for the most part, the band really delivers a killer backing to that. I feel there are a few sections that could've been better executed, that pre-chorus being the worst of them. Gotta love that clean intro kicking back in at the end though. When it's all said and done, it's hard to really knock this one. Still receives high marks from me, just not a full 5/5.

Kendrick Lamar- Alright
Sent by Sacul
So, let's just get on with the facts, hey? Rap like this is very far from being my scene. But what's interesting to me is the story. This speaks of personal weaknesses, police brutality and false promises of the music industry, yet takes that bleakness with the belief that "we gon' be alright". Looking at the legacy of this song, it's hard to deny it as an important landmark culturally in America. But, for me, this song isn't something I particular want to listen to of my own accord, ya know? I don't rally like the overuse of the N word (I ain't saying it!) and that style of vocal has never done much for me (I barely like it when LaBrie or Portnoy try rapping on Train of Thought and Prophets of War, never got that into Rage Against the Machine, etc.). But I'll leave off of this side of things by saying that I can see why you may enjoy it and I don't want to dissuade you from your own tastes in any way. This is a very rare instance where I think you almost need a second bonus point because of the impact that this song has, which adds to the whole "song with a story" angle in a completely different way.

Sufjan Stevens - John Wayne Gacy Jr.
Sent by Tomislav95
Ah, Sufjan, we meet again. I remember UFO Incident in the short songs round. This paints a picture of someone who didn't really have the best life growing up and eventually snapped and became a clown-themed serial killer and rapist. Like this is pretty messed up. I'm kinda sad to find out that this is about a real person. The ending kinda makes things a whole lot darker too, suggesting that the singer is also a not particularly stable individual with his own dark secrets.
I see this a bit of a history essay, here's the subject, here's what happened. Then goes on to add in that dark twist. I feel this could've benefitted from maybe a little more to it, it feels quite short and compact. But, what's here is fairly decent.

Caligula's Horse - Firelight
Sent by Vmadera00
There guys are Aussies! 10/10, you win!
Now, how about an actual review? This song is actually really good, so beautifully performed by everyone. These lyrics paint to me the picture of remembering great time s with someone, but that someone may have passed on. It's got a very melancholic feeling as we reach the ending. The guitar tones are great, the vocals are great, everything here is great. This has got me going down an ongoing path with Caligula's Horse for sure and I hope they get to play at the next version of the Monolith festival with Karnivool, maybe with Voyager in support too.
This is an absolute winner in my book, but I also don't feel like it's a strong as other songs in this round. It's a very hard one to rank here, so please don't be mad with this score.

Sarah McLachlan - Possession
Sent by kingshmegland
This song sounds really nice. Sarah has a great voice, there's absolutely no denying that. But, I'm not sure if I really follow the storyline. I feel like this song is more about obsession than possession. It sounds to me almost like the love letters of a stalker. He wants her, she clearly isn't interested, but he keeps on trying and claiming "I won't be denied". Kinda borders on assault with the idea of holding someone down and kissing them so hard that they cry, right? Little creepy.It's a good song, but I don't think this leaves that great of an impression on me, and the story is a little weaker than I'd like it to be. But, you met the criteria, there's technically a story here, so you get the bonus point.

The King Blues - What If Punk Never Happened
Sent by twosuitsluke
This is a spoken word, almost rapped track about an interesting alternate history where the Punk movement never happened. Hippies everywhere and no downfall of corrupt governments in that time because nothing really challenged it. It's interesting. I never got into Punk music but I didn't actually realise the impact that it had in this sense. The back half of this song shows pretty much every positive thing that Punk music that was slandered for being so "negative" gave us. It actually makes me really appreciate it the Punk music scene all over again.
Instrumentally, this is pretty decent too. The drum groove is nice, and the piano chords and synthesiser hold it all together nicely.
It's fairly simplistic, but dude, I can't knock it. See, I didn't realise the importance of rockers. The scene of the 70s taught us how to better get along and that the world can change through the power of songs.
Sorry, I went off on a tangent there. Yeah, this is good.Despite saying I don't like rap, this one does it in a way I can really get along with. You took a risk. It's paying off

Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Old City Bar
Sent by jingle.boy
This is beautiful, simple and true. This story of someone not being able to get home for Christmas and an old Bartender that saved the girl's Christmas. It's such an inspirational story of kindness. I absolutely love it. There's not much to say. I'm glad there isn't. This tugs at my heartstrings so hard that I'm pretty much crying. This is going on my playlist for Christmas Day. Cheers for the hook up. This isn't as epic as other songs here, but it really doesn't deserve to go low in the rankings. I really don't know what to do with this one. It's amazing.

Kevin Gilbert - Song For a Dead Friend
Sent by Senecadawg2
Well, this song is depressing as all hell. I mean, there's no real to talk about this subject. This song acts as a eulogy to a dead friend, The somber piano is haunting, the vocals are distinct and really feel perfect for the track. I like it, but man, I kinda don't want to listen to this again. It's just really sad. I do like the references to "you read every chapter and I just glossed over them pretending that I knew" and later "the chapters that I missed I'm gonna have to read again". This is super bleak and a hell of a way to end an album.

Pure Reason Revolution - Eupnea
Sent by Buddyhunter1
What a captivating intro! That almost acapella intro gives way to the instrumental opening so nicely. By the time that kicks in, I'm already hooked. This opens so calm that by the time we get to the crux of the story, I'm thoroughly engaged. This band actually slays it instrumentally too. This is the song I thought I might have a weird time with, but damn, this is great! What a tight instrumental section, fronted by really great vocalists that harmonise amazingly.
The story seems to be about a young one having trouble breathing, lungs failing and all and the terrifying nature of having all the surgeries and everything under the sun trying to save their lives. Unfortunately, seems like they weren't saved given the "her blood wasn't right, boom, genesis light" in the closing verses.
I want to keep listening to this one. Another strong contender for stop of the pack this time!

Yes - Turn of the Century

Yeah, so this one is probably the point where you all get so mad at me and round 7 is gonna have a few less participants, but I kinda don't care for this as a song... Yup, I said it.
I recognise Yes as an amazing band for the influence they've had on so many bands that I love, but this song really did nothing for me. On the contrary, the lyrics of this one are great. I find the story actually really compelling. The story of two artists in love, so he makes a statue of her, but she dies as he works. He puts everything he has into finishing this statue and becomes so engrossed his work and puts all of his love and emotion into it that the sculpture practically comes to life in it's final form.
Great story, just not a song I overly care for.

Avantasia - The Scarecrow
Sent by Revenge319
Stands to reason, I mean to check out a band, keep putting them off and then the first thing I hear is like this.
Kicking off with a medieval sounding intro but then building that up in the best way, I'm already captivated. The vocal melodies are great, the instrumental underlay is great, I'm loving this song before it even really gets started. The first half gets me really amped up to see whatever may be of the second half when it starts to become more orchestral based. There are a lot of great solos here and it really does not disappoint!
I don't fully follow the story through this one. I feel like this is more about setting up a character for the rest of this rock opera, as I know Avantasia is a lot like Ayreon, but Tobias Sammett instead of Arjen Lucassen. All I really need to know is that I like this a lot.

Gang of Youths - Do Not Let Your Spirit Wane
Sent by ReaperKK
A pretty chill vibe here. I like it. For anyone who has seen my EP in Puppies' roulette, this is a actually a very impactful song to me. Kinda what I hope to avoid later in life if I get blessed to have a wife and a kid of my own.
This song seems to be about contentment, not letting your perfect life go to waste and how simple those perfections can actually be in hindsight. In what I'm hoping is his dream, he has a very blessed life with a wife and a kid that mean the world to him and he's happy as the first verse plays out. Then he starts taking it for granted and prefers to spend his days drinking alone in the basement. In the third verse, it's revealed that the wife and kid die in a car accident. "and it's strange, all the things that I've run from are the things that completeness could come from". I agree with the final message of the song "Get the :censored out of your head if it says 'stay cold and deathly afraid'".
Thanks Reaper for what's practically a life lesson.

Big Big Train - Winkie
Sent by HOF
This is a great bouncy song about a World War II mission. Winkie was a pigeon that flew a vital mission since military superiors actually didn't believe that radio was yet an effective form of communication. A disabled plane is trapped at sea and due to a much derided rule, each bomber crew was to carry two pigeons in case the radio was disabled. Thanks to this pigeon named Winkie, the crew were saved. She then became to first recipient of the Dickin Medal, awarded to animals who show gallantry and devotion serving under the British military.
Song's great. It was a good one to leave off on. I don't find it to be the best song of the round, but it's definitely enjoyable enough that I kinda want to check more of this out. Good choice!

UFO - Dreaming of Summer
Sent by Stadler
Start with the obvious. The riffing that opens this off is really great. That clean tone is amazing, and the nylon acoustic lead just before the vocals start is really cool. This is another case of the vocals being pretty perfect for the song. Even without the story, this is a really nice sounding song. The story here is one I feel I can relate to, albeit in locations I have never been to. That feeling of trying to hold it all together with no really prospects for a prosperous future, I've absolutely been there.And at the end, things are seeming bleak but the cycle keeps going. It's absolutely a great song. Thanks for sending this one, this is a really good song.
5 + 1
I am so happy this scored well. I know Stadler likes to send this and I think it does generally OK, but this is a masterpiece. Phil's storytelling and detail are top notch in this. I love how Schenker doesn't hit you over the head with the solo, not that he typically does anyway, but it is so tonally satisfying. And his outro soloing really captures the angst.

So, you're taking an average of 2,25 weeks to finish a round but then expect me to send within 24 hours after posting results and you even put up half the hangman already... whatever, I just sent, but you may as well kick me out at this point if you want.

I'm updating hangman as we go mate. Trying to quicken up coz I have been absolutely useless with it. No one is kicked out. I'm just trying to keep it entertaining for others to compensate for my own failures with this. Forgive me
-
Well, I officially feel horrible. Apologies to everyone who sent after I posted the first one. I thought I was doing a right thing for everyone who wanted me to get on with it by starting it and adding others in as we went. I guess I’m just impatient instead. I’m genuinely sorry everyone.
-
Honestly dude, don't worry.
This is your first roulette and you're figuring it all out. For the record, I have no problem with you getting hangman up before you have all the submissions in. It's your roulette at the end of the day.
I haven't felt hounded to get my submission in, and if anything it gave me a little nudge to send. I'm hardly the most prompt at sending so it worked for me.
I personally don't feel you owe anyone an apology, but appreciate the apology all the same.

I see Bat For Lashes in there. It's The Boys of Summer and Puppies sent it
Also, Train - Ramble On, sent by Stadler
I guess U as well

No problem. I don’t think anyone did. He was my second guess if it wasn’t Stads.

Train’s original music is pretty lame beyond the song Drops of Jupiter, but hot damn, those guys know what they’re doing when it comes to covering Led Zeppelin. Also, that US Army Band performance of Time Stand Still is pretty awesome as well.

I've mentioned this a few times before but train covered led zep ii a few years back, the album is on Spotify. I got to see them cover it front to back live and it was awesome. The lead singer from train was in a led zeppelin cover band before starting train.

Here are your impressions, I tried to make em a bit easier this time.
I actually kinda prefer the vocals in this version
Quite eclectic. This will require a fair few listens.
This version actually perfectly captures a nostalgic feeling behind these lyrics.
I really like the use of the alternate vocal style here.
This works way better for me than I thought it would.
I think I like this more than the original already
So iconic that the original feels like the cover instead
A fresh take on a classic. Beautiful.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. I’m partial to a bit of horn!
I always love it when a band plays a cover song so well you’d think they wrote it themselves
This is way better than I’m willing to give this band credit for
Nothing will ever compare to the original, but this does a mighty admirable job!
Very different way of singing this one. Respect!
Possibly the most hauntingly beautiful version of this song you could ever hear.
Ballsy move to reinterpret such a well-known song this way
Kinda miss the vocals, but gotta love the playing!
I’m loving this one already
I do love the melodic metal approach taken with this one! Might be an early contender

The US Army Band - Time Stand Still
Sent by jingle.boy
Neil Peart's death was probably the first time a celebrity death really messed me up. Like, I don't know how to really say much more than that. I woke up on the morning of my band's EP launch thinking it was going to be one of the best days of my life and instead I roll over and Neil's gone. It was horrible.
Following that, a myriad of tributes started flowing in. I remember there were a lot of great videos about "here's the best drum grooves and fills that Neil ever did" type videos. But they weren't the same, no matter how well executed they were. But there was this one, a month or so after the fact, that really nailed the tribute aspect of it all for me
The idea of using this particular song as a tribute was already a great idea. But the execution of it, not going for the rocking version of the song we were already so familiar with, but going for a much more simple and sensitive version of the track with a piano and string ensemble backing. The vocals, nothing like Geddy's but so right for the song at the same time. This felt like the perfect tribute at the time. These lyrics about getting older suddenly resonated so much louder for me as being a response to a fallen hero.
This is actually one of my most favourite covers of any Rush song and it definitely sets the bar real high for everything we're going to cover today.
I had toyed with the idea of splitting the bonus point into a .5 for just being a cover and a full point for doing something original with the source material. I'm not going to do that, but you would definitely receive and deserve every point.

black.midi - 21st Century Schizoid Man
Sent by Buddyhunter1
King Crimson has never really been a top of the list band for me. This song, however, I am familiar enough with the riff of at the very least. Just such a classic vibe to it, the guitar tones and horn interplay are great.
This cover version is evidently based upon the better known radio edit (since the original by KC is over 10 minutes long). In that time, black.midi offer a fairly well played version of the abridged version. While I feel the first solo section is maybe a little long, it's pretty much what was in the original and to be totally fair, Dream Theater with Tony Levin couldn't save that section from being a bit meh for me. I love those really tight stops in the next. section though.
What holds this version back for me is that I feel he goes way too fair with the vocals in a few places. Yeah, again, parts of that were there in the original but I feel it just sticks out a little too much for me here, especially so in the second verse.
While it's very well performed, I also don't know that this cover does too much different to the original to really feel new. I appreciate the extra emphasis on the saxophone in the "main" riff, but I think that's all that really gets me to come to this one more than the original.
Solid effort.but not my favourite thing I've ever heard.

Tommy Johansson - The Show Must Go On
Sent by TAC
The final song Freddie released before he died (not recorded, but released). The original is a whirlwind of emotion and really is a perfect closer to Queen's main studio albums (I don't really count Made In Heaven personally, though there are a few good tracks on it). Even on death's door, the man delivered a powerhouse of a performance, as did the rest of the band. This is one of my favourite Queen songs. That's why my first impression of this song was what it was. I feel that nothing really meets up with that original recording as a by-product of what the band were going through. Yet, here came Tommy Johansson offering a massive challenge to that perspective.
Let's start beneath the vocal. His guitar tone is exceptional! The drum production is a bit snappier too, which I like. Everything here sounds very well produced and man can he shred a solo while still suiting the track!
Ok, now we can talk about the vocal. He's got a great voice, one that reminds me of Jeff Scott Soto's performance of this song with Sons of Apollo in a way. The high notes are great, the chest range is powerful, it's all there! But for as good as it is, this doesn't hit me the way that Freddie's performance did.With a song like this, I really need to be captivated by the vocals beyond all else and for as much as I like the man's voice, this just doesn't hit me right. Maybe it's a problem of me knowing the song so well, maybe it's just me being a picky bugger, maybe I'm just too demanding". But this one, for as admirable of a job as it does with the original song, still doesn't stack up with it at the end of the day.
For what it is though, taking it away from the cover context. I like it!

Bat for Lashes - The Boys of Summer
Sent by Puppies_On_Acid
Everyone knows the original. Such a great song, you gotta blast it several times per summer, right?
Here comes something that I actually think is the most perfect way to change this particular song, ever. This doesn't try to out-rock the original, it doesn't just stay in the original style but with a female vocal, this breaks it down to the barebones. It kept the melody and the chords, but also picked up on a few key features of the lyrics and ran with them. For me, this is a song of nostalgia as well as a love song. And by stripping it down to a piano and a bit of synth holding the chords, this is exactly what I'm feeling from the instrumental as sell. The Boys of Summer was always a killer rock song, but I never felt it captured the same vibe that the lyrics in isolation did. Boom. Here you go. Nothing's left out. No pace is lost. But there's just something extra special in the way this one is delivered that sticks it above and beyond for me.This might be better than the original, truth be told.

Karnivool - The Only Way
Sent by romdrums
So, Karnivool. This is probably very unfair to everyone else. I absolutely love Karnivool and they are pretty much the best thing Perth has ever put out (though I think Voyager is a better band for my own taste).
While the original track is a little more poppy and partially dance oriented, it really lent itself nicely to a rework by Karnivool. This thing takes the original riff and throws it straight back in your face with distorted guitars and Jon Stockman's bass tone. Like DAMN!! The thing is, this feels so right, like it could've been a Karnivool single. It's a perfect blend between Themata and Sound Awake!
Kenny's vocals don't really change it up too much from the original Gotye version, but it feels perfectly written for his voice. It really says something when by changing the genre while staying very respectful to the original song, you create something that sounds so much like something that Karnivool wrote themselves.
Horns way the hell up

Johnny Cash - Hurt
Sent by Sacul
Pretty much exactly the same sentiments as the Karnivool writeup and the Show Must Go On but kinda in reverse. In fact, it's so baffling this is a cover because this is the best known version of the song anywhere. While the Nine Inch Nails song kinda plays on an unsettling vibe, this version sits much stronger and more somber. This is such a powerful song and one of my absolute favourite songs that Johnny Cash ever put out. It's truly amazing. I personally love this a hell of a lot more than the Nine Inch Nails version. I think everyone does, including Trent Reznor himself, who said in an interview that hearing the song itself was like watching someone else having sex with his girlfriend, but the accompanying video made him realise the song wasn't his anymore. And I think that paraphrasing says it all.

Michael Kelsey - Kashmir
Sent by ReaperKK
Kashmir! Such a complex song and such an iconic one too.
I kinda love this version. This is a version that took a lot of risks by making it a solo composition, but he pulls it off admirably. I like that he manages to keep it reserved and yet bombastic too. This is actually a masterwork if we're considering how much he's managing to pull off at once. Getting it all here in one take, and seemingly all 100% live is beyond baffling to me.
It's just a problem that the original also has that holds this song back for me. I have always thought this song was too long for it's own good. The ideas are good, but the song becomes very repetitive once that first bridge is over and it's back to the main body of the song again. I don't know. As someone who isn't a huge fan of the song, I thought this one in particular was great.

John Scofield - The House of the Rising Sun
Sent by Elite
Ok, so this is a song that I'm actually performing in my solo set tonight. Just to give you an idea of how familiar I am with the original.
This version takes an odd approach to it that I am surprised worked quite as well as it did. For a song that follows a very simple pattern and doesn't really stray from it, this has been turned into an impressive instrumental. The soloing is technical, soulful and masterfully executed here. The drumming and double bass keeps things fairly lively, which is great.
I think everyone here does a very admirable job; but I kinda wish I was able to be there to actually watch this performance rather than just listening to it. I feel this is a great jam session that would be fun to experience in a club. But, I feel that letting it be this long on the record was maybe a little too much. This is 7 and a half minutes of the same chord progression over and over, which isn't necessarily the most entertaining thing to listen to in full.
However, that massive negative aside. This is still really good. Props to John and his band for putting this one out there. I'm kinda keen to see what else they've got, so that's a plus.

Of all The Beatles tracks, there were e few that always felt kinda goofy in all honesty. This is one I never took all that seriously. It just felt so odd to me. Maybe it's because I wasn't there at the time, or because I lack the ability to get high (fearing needles, not being great with pills and honestly not really having it in me to smoke).
All of that said, I love this! His voice somehow reminds me of Arjen Lucassen, albeit with a different accent. I love the way the band comes in, I love the feeling of the song as a whole. I actually just have a really good time listening to this. Those vocal harmonies in the choruses are so cool!
Yeah, I don't really know what it is about this version, but this is great.I am intrigued, however. This video has very few views and the channel few subscribers. How did you come across this?

Not a Led Zeppelin song that I'm familiar with. My preliminary listen tells me that this is very similar to the original.
Here's the thing, I like this better. Something about the instrumentation and the beautiful harmonisation gives me a feeling of almost a Minstrel telling the tale of the battle of Evermore. I like it. There just isn't all that much to say about it. These ladies absolutely nail the harmonies and I prefer their vocals to Plant's at the end of the day.

LORD - Judas Be My Guide
Sent by wolfking
A song that was wasted on Fear of the Dark and then never played live despite it being one of the best of the era.
It's great to see someone actually dig this song out for a cover. The music sounds great, a modern tone but more or less playing the song note for note. The interesting change is in the vocals, adding a little bit of the harshness to the starting stabs of a few lines in the verses. But he utilises a style I don't like very well and then nails the vocals real nicely.
For a song that I reckon is one of the best of the No Prayer of the Dark era, this is actually a really welcome cover and I think it's been pulled off really well!

Prototype - Sea of Madness
Sent by Vmadera00
Sea of Madness is really up there on Somewhere in Time, an album that's really high on my rankings for Iron Maiden. This one has some serious work to do.
It's definitely a great attempt. But, most of it is instrumentally great for me. This singer does a decent enough job, but this is a song that I come to mainly because of how great Bruce is on it. This singer really is not Bruce level, though I can't expect him to be. There are a few bits that stick out to me, like missing out that little "ooh" at the start of the quieter section between the solos and sounding kinda flat on the "madden-ee-ee-ess" sustained notes. I think he packs in a bit more aggression, which in some ways suits this version of the song, but only this version of the song.
Holy hell, the guitarist on this is great though! Nailed Adrian's solo on this. The instrumental saved this from being a total flop for me. I actually really like this down a semitone or two like this is, the drummer is absolutely bashing those drums and the bassist does a really nice job. I think the production is a little flat though.

Stevie Ray Vaughn - Little Wing
Sent by Stadler
Used to cover this in one of my many projects, or at leas the Concrete Blonde version. It's a great song, but one thing that really stood out for me was the lyrics. I remember hearing this one night in Bali and a restaurant called Ultimo and just zoning out enjoying the tunes.
Originally being a Hendrix song, what I'm about to say is blasphemous as all hell, but I actually think Stevie's guitar on this is the most definitive version for my money. Stevie has just the right touch for this song and does a lot with the relatively simple chord progression. Mind you, that's also probably because this version is an instrumental, something I thought would be a detriment to my enjoyment of the song, but honestly wasn't. Bit of an anticlimax of an ending though.
Stevie is an amazing guitarist and I think this may actually be one of my favourites from him.

Lingua Ignota - Wicked Game
Sent by Senecadawg2
This is a song I really like through Corey Taylors cover version. I've since come to enjoy the original. This is a very different approach to it.
This is another piece that's very much defined by the vocal. Always has been. Lingua has a very nice voice, very operatic in spots (best shown off by the chorus). But the thing is, as much as I like her and I like the song, I'm not sure I like her voice for the song. Everything here is great, in isolation, but as a collective whole, I find myself kinda wishing I was just listening to Corey or Chris hitting this song the way I'm used to. Maybe I'm being overly critical here, but this one just didn't do it for me. Glad you love it though, Seneca.
The piano backing is beautiful.that's my biggest compliment to this. I think the piano works very well in favour of the guitar here.

Chaos Addict - I Will Remember

Toto's original version of this is something I never actually took two. It was nice, but it was just another ballad that didn't push the boundaries of what Toto could do. Then Chaos Addict came in and said "Ya know what, metal this up and it could be a good song". Turns out they were right!
This is actually a great cover, because it takes a lot from the original song but makes it way better! This singer rules the track, the guitars take a piano hook and make it just as melodic but rock it up to the Nth degree. The clean guitar tone is really nice, the drumming is great. This is just everything I want this song to sound like. I think the lyric itself actually lends better to this version than it did the original.
Good stuff!

I'm sorry Train, but you're not supposed to be this good. You can't be best known for Drops of Jupiter and Hey Soul Sister and then perfectly encapsulate this song.
This isn't one of my favourite LZ songs by a long shot, but this song recently came back into the fold for me with James LaBrie's cover. But here comes this one, which just really nails the original. His voice sounds exactly right, the harmonics to the lead break is pretty exactly right. I'm baffled by how this works. This is pretty damn good, I'm not gonna lie. It's a gold star for Train, but it's still not the strongest one I've heard in this round.

And at last, we make it to the last song of the day! I have nothing to compare this to, as you opted not to play the theme this time round.
So let's dive into this. This is certainly off the beaten path. I like the voice a lot, even if I don't know what it's saying at all. I kinda like the way the intro gets recontextualised as the song keeps going.
Man, this is really just not my scene for the first half, but that bridge bit and the instrumental section that follows it are really nice. I just don't really follow along with what the song is trying to do at all. Maybe it's through the lack of context because of the language barrier?
Sorry Revenge, glad you like this, but I really don't get it.

A 3/5? That's actually better than what I was expecting!
The song structure is a little unusual, and I was almost considering sending a shortened version of it that has a more traditional song structure, at least in comparison. I'm unsure if it would have fared any better for you, though. I also don't know if the lack of a language barrier would've helped; in my case, I've never really understood any Japanese and I still fell in love with this song almost immediately after I first discovered it. Nice to hear that you did find a couple things to like about it, though! Above all else, though, I'm glad you gave it a shot. :)
I have a couple ideas in mind for the next round, so I'll have to think over that. I'll try to send soon! Hopefully I can crawl out of last place in these next two rounds...

It does warm my heart to see three Zeppelin covers submitted. :heart
-
In all honesty, I forgot it was this one til I saw it again. Didn’t remember the military but til I did the Impressions - too late then!
-
Not bad, I knew it would be risky to send a Maiden cover so I'm happy with the score :)
-
Damn, I just got a paddling!
-
For the epic round bonus, is it ok to send an epic that has been split up into multiple tracks?

4/5 isn’t too bad, but slightly disappointing considering the 5/6’s that have been handed out this round as well. Will send next round soon!
-
Hell yeah, didn't expect any less for such a classic :metal. The music video just makes me cry, it's so fitting and well done.
Time to send something outside of your comfort zone, again :biggrin:

Last couple of rounds, I’ve been posting the results at random as I’ve listened to them. Back in round 3 or so, I posted all the results at once.

I don't mind either way, though I will say it was pretty suspenseful in Rounds 5 and 7 since my risky choices happened to be the last to be reviewed, which was kinda fun.

I'll send something by the end of the day.

Only missing 3 songs so far, so we won’t be far off round 8 hangman.

I literally sent the first song that came to my head that's over 9 minutes. I have no idea why this was the first song that came into my head in all honesty, but it's :hefdaddy

You would be correct. Almost sent IQ, but it would've been Seventh House. Nothing against Without Walls, it's a solid track as well.

Here’s the impressions. I’m going to give this a week to play out and then I’ll try and get through 2 or 3 of these every day til the completion.
I feel like I’m gonna have a hard time with this one
Lost Horizon - Highlander: I feel powerful listening to this
I feel like dancing at the start of this
I feel like singing along to the chorus of this one
I feel like the start of this would be good reading music
I feel like my neck may snap from how much headbanging I’m gonna be doing in subsequent listens
I feel intrigued by the lyrics, but slightly put off by one particular section
I feel like this could be a favourite from the early onset
I feel a lot more enjoyment for this song than the last one that came from this artist
I feel a modern Dream Theater sound in this song, though it predates by a decade.
Obscure Sohinx - The Presence of Godess: I feel very uneasy when I look at the cover artwork.
Theocracy - Mirror of Souls: I feel like this one would’ve rated high in the last round.
I feel like this is going to be a lot to take in
I feel like this one takes a while to kick off, but it’s worth the wait
Moon Safari - A Kid Called Panic: I feel really happy listening to this one, almost in spite of it’s title
I feel like this one will be great, I just might need to get used to it
I feel the darkness of this track almost immediately
I feel like I’m going to be very unsure how to rank this one when we get there
-
I feel very uneasy when I look at the cover artwork.
Guessing this is mine? Very helpful. :lol

“I feel really happy listening to this one, almost in spite of it’s title”?
Might’ve made that one a little too easy with the second half.
I feel very powerful listening to this?
Also yep!
-
The first time I listened to that Lost Horizon album I went from baby faced to full lumberjack in the space of an hour. So manly.

Here are my guesses:

I really din’t know which one os mine. Woolgatherer is a lot to take in and it might not have been the best choice to send, but my god, it’s a stellar track if you ask me :)

July was actual bad sickness, this week has just been the cold. Dad’s got a cold and pneumonia at the same time, but the house is not exactly big enough to stay uninflected. Problem is my gag reflex is hypersensitive and overactive.
This delay has more been due to busyness though. Picked up Sports Carnival days at work, started rehearsing with a new band and I’ve got a solid ten albums to listen to for a podcast next week.

While it’s another 3 hours before I start, I’ll quick fire these off first
How Long
Man, that intro hits beautifully. I really love how it can go from the synthy intro into that drum groove so seamlessly. The track seems hopeful and longing at the same time. The sax solo reminds me of Another Day, but I way prefer this one.
The piano that sets off the back half is brilliant too. I love that middle eastern groove. Man, this track is just great. That chorus really solidifies everything for me too. Great way to start it off.
4.75 + 1
Ljudet Innan
This intro reminds me of Haken’s “As Death Embraces”. It doesn’t really grab my imagination much, but it’s a nice beginning to the proceedings. The instrumental that follows is intriguing though. A swirling of strings and piano, very nice. Although, I have to say it feels like it takes a little too long to really kick off.
When the beautiful guitar chords do kick in though, they are pretty worthwhile. The subdued drum groove leading to the guitar lead is a nice touch.
My main problem with this song though is it feels like it’s all trying to build but stay subdued as well. I feel like it may be a little light on the lyrical content, which is a shame since I enjoy the singer’s voice. As the song draws to its end, I feel nothing of the journey I’ve been on has really reached a point where it all became worthwhile and that’s kind of a shame. Everything was great, but felt like it lacked a final impact. Sorry mate, not a favourite.

At the End of the Day
Can you describe a more epic buildup to a song? No, you can't, don't lie to me!
It's hard to really put into words why this song works so well for me in the early half. Everything just clicks. It's heavy, yet optimistic. The vocal is awesome (but it's Neal so did that even need to be said?). I love that really cool patch he uses at the end of the second chorus. And I love where it goes from there. That Latin percussion and acoustic met up with the organ sound? Genius! And then it heavies up that groove. Man, this just slaps!
I'll say it here, I think I regret listening to this one so early on, as this sets an extremely high bar for everything else to come in this session.
Oh, and we need to have a word about that riff at 10:50. Like dude, I just started the results after another three/four week wait, you're not allowed to kill the host from facial melting!!

It would appear I have grossly miscalculated how long the playlist is. Definitely not gonna get through all of them in one go as theat would mean I'm staying up til nearly 2am. I will do a few more before I hang it up for tonight and come back fresh in the morning
How about we look at a classic next.
Close to the Edge
That intro promises majesty, but I think the opening instrumental of this are actually a little messy if I'm honest. But I think a lot of that is the lead behind the focal point. When we land into what feels like a main melody at the 3 minute mark, everything seems too meet up again and create a really beautiful sound.
When we at last arrive into the first verse, man, what a great groove! The vocals are great, I'm loving the harmonies.
Within the first six minutes though, I'm finding something I'm not as keen on. I don't really love how often it feels like they're transitioning out of a section and then it just comes back in where they already were. It's an odd thing, and what the false transitions are sound nice and are placed well, but they just feel really off to my ear.
The start of the third movement does lose me a bit, I must admit. It actually feels very out of place with the rest of the song preceding it. This feels like a whole new song, nice in it's own right, but also kinda disjointed to where we came from.
The church organ starts to pipe up again and I feel like we're about to get right back into the thick of it. But we go into a bit more of a swung version of the main chorus of this section.
Part 4, The Seasons of Man, really kicks it up again though. A great riff that gives way into a really cool organ solo! And at this point, I'm realising the bassist is really the hero of this whole track. Those little high pitch slides he rocks during the solo are so cool!
It all wraps up real nicely, but I honestly think that the third smovement really slowed this song down for a bit too long. I had a better time with this than Turn of the Century, but I don't believe I'm gonna turn into a huge Yes fan any time too soon.

I'm knackered so maybe two more and then I'll keep going tomorrow and Monday as needed.

Hybrid Times
Man, that piano riff gives me massive Dream Theater vibes. And when the band kicks in, if it wasn't for the change in voice, I would totally believe this is a leftover from the View sessions.
This track kicks off into high gear real quick, then refuses to take prisoners as it goes on. Instrumentally, this gives me everything I like. Hell, it even has some quick bas leads sprinkled in there for good measure. The vocalist hits all the marks for me too, even when he hits the harsher notes, it's done tastefully and really lands for me.
If there's one vocal section I really want to call attention to, it's the "I'll never give up again". I love the way the "give up";s are a little harsher and echoing in the background and brings the vocal to the full centre when it comes up to the "again".
And then the other 5 minutes of this are a great instrumental. Man, that guitar solo around the 7:35 mark gives me such JP vibes. This really gives me Mangini-era DT vibes all throughout and I really hope I'm not the only one hearing it. Hell, it sounds like there's even an app solo towards the 8"20 mark!
I don't know if it's a great insult to a band like this to say I really feel like it could be someone else's song, or a compliment that they're reaching the heights that I associate with that particular band? Towards the ending, it goes a bit more Haken to my ear with that keyboard and effected drums section. I feel like this song could almost be used as a "greatest hit" of what the genre sounded like in the 2010s. And seeing as this came out in 2007, I'd have to say this makes me think that Riverside were the pioneers of all that would come.
Ending was a little weird though.

Sacred Sound
Man, I love the intro on this again. You guys really nailed the intros on this round.
I didn't really know what to expect out of these guys, but I really like this. I can't really say this reminds me of any band in particular, but I get an old school prog sound out of this one and I love it.
This has such an optimistic sound until we get to that instrumental break. While that becomes a little darker sounding, I just fall deeper in love with it as it progresses.
It's hard to really say much about this song, but everything really clicks for me. I think you've really hit the nail on the head with this one. A surprising lead taker, but a welcome one.

Hell yeah :metal. I only listened to that DT album like once so I'm not sure about the similarities, but I like to think of Riverside as a sort of polish Porcupine Tree rather than a Dream Theater one tbh. Check that album out, it's brilliant.

Jotunheim
Well, the intro was certainly epic. Actually, most of the instrumental was fairly bloody on this one. But, I think it probably goes without saying that the lyrics held this back.Save the chorus, where the choir utilisation was BRILLIANT, I kinda stopped listening to the vocals and tried to focus in on the instrumental.I definitely remember him cawing like a chicken at one stage though.
When it goes back to the mellow with that choir effect, I'm really taken in by it. Again, the riffs that follow this are pretty great, but that main vocal just sets me off in the wrong direction. It makes it really hard to rate the song overall when there is so much good being offset.
Halfway through, I'm really reminded of Blaze Bayleu era Iron Maiden by the lead guitar riff, it actually reminds me a lot of Sign of the Cross, which is great coz I love that song.
I really love the sound of the guitars and drums on this track. The tones are really well crafted and suit the song perfectly.
I respect this is your tradition to send each new Roulette host a song by this band, I'm kinda glad I got to check 'em out. I just wish you maybe had an instrumental by these guys as it would have paid off better for you.
Problem is, I don't really know how much to deduct from the vocal performance. I don't want to be too harsh since the song is pretty great otherwise. I hope this is more satisfactory than what you thought you'd be getting at least.

The Dripping Tap
Uh? Yeah, ok, I'm confused as to what exactly I'm listening to. That intro is so off to the amazingness of the instrumental section that follows. Actually, I guess let's tackle the lyrics first. I'm guessing there's probably some kind of metaphor that I completely missed in there, but if there isn't these are some really weird lyrics. I feel like they're getting somewhere with the second verse, but then it starts feeling like just words again when he starts the "left the tap on" refrain.
The instrumental sections though? They're insanely good. As you'd kinda hope when they take up a solid 15 of the 18 minute runtime here.
But, I think that this kinda isolates the problem. This is just a big jam session. And while that can be great, this is kinda pushing it into quite a long one to listen to.
I kinda stop enjoying myself when the whole "drip. drip, from the tap, don't slip" thing starts happening. I feel like I've been here for way too long now and I'm not really getting anywhere new. this was worth the listen once, but I don't know I'll be hurrying back to this one.

The Presence of Goddess
Thankfully, I can't see the cover when I'm typing.
I gotta say, the intro does start out real ominous and foreboding. I love that bass tone peaking it's head out over everything else. The opening does seem to drag out for a little while, I feel like the first five minutes are really just starting to set up all that lays ahead. The drum fills are really cool.
This song seems to stay kinda mid-paced for a long time and I really felt like I wanted it to ramp up in the midsection. With the lyrics staying fairly similar throughout it's run, I feel like this needed more change instrumentally to warrant the length.
Hey, at least you snuck a cool little bass solo into it.

Fading Light
Genesis, we meet again!
I really like the ambience of the intro here. Just from the way the lyrics play out and the general feeling here, I'm not at all surprised to find out that this one is an album closing track. I can just feel it.
I really love how when everything kicks in, it all feels earned. We've built our way here. And I feel like if I had listened to the whole album to get here, this would feel like a great payoff.That keyboard melody with the lower lead sound is really catchy, and then the synth stabs are so cool too. Hell, this whole thing just feels like such an upbeat reward for the build up of the opening verses!
And the closing lyrics are superb too. Nah, you hit a winner with this one. I haven't been super keen on Genesis with some earlier choices in this Roulette, but man, this one really makes me want to check out at least the rest of this album!

Mirror of Souls
In every song I've listened to this round, I've said "man, this feels too long". This doesn't. And I have no idea why that is when this song is actually the longest of them all in this round. This is a song that would've dominated in the "song with a story" round, but it also absolutely smashed this round! I think the fact that every chapter of the story was clearly marked by different music was a great touch. The vocals absolutely punched through perfectly and made for a cohesive story, topped up with captivating melodies. This song never faltered, featured all the right steps to make it compelling, and didn't ever feel like it was relying on anything as a crutch. Don't like the vocals in a section? tune out and listen to the instrumental. The inverse is true as well.
Suffice to say, we might have a winner for this round.

Retrospective
Damn! What a powerhouse of riffage to kick this one off. And then mellowing out so quickly, but so controlled that it doesn’t feel completely out of place.
This one really sets itself up well in the first five minutes. There’s a lot of great instrumental and vocal work happening all throughout and it feels like it’s all constantly building.
These lyrics don’t paint the most beautiful picture for the character they’re describing.
The solo at the 9:50 mark and the riff following it don’t at all remind me of Awake era DT, and the stabs and riff following that DEFINITELY don’t go into Learning to Live territory. Nor does it eventually go into Fatal Tragedy. Man, this instrumental section is such a great section, but it’s definitely got a lot in there that I can recognise as being very DT influenced. Hell, there’s even a rhythmic stab that is directly influenced by Burning My Soul.
The James Bond fanatic in me may have gotten very excited by one particular section in here. In fact I screamed for glory when that hit.
This is a great song, but definitely doesn’t hit quite the same as Mirror of Souls did. But damn, what a song.

Alright, I’ve got time for maybe two more before I gotta start packing up for a rehearsal
The Last Baron
Hmm, can’t really put my finger on why, but I don’t like it that much to start with. Once it starts hitting it’s stride at around the 3 minute mark, it gets way better, but that opening doesn’t do much for me at all.
And unfortunately, it seems that only the instrumental gets much better for me from here. Dad listens to a lot of Mastodon, so I’m well aware that they have as many lead singers as they do band members. I know there are some voices that work way better for me than others. I don’t know who’s singing in this one, but I’m wondering if I’d have preferred the song if it were someone else?
What’s here is cool and all, but this just doesn’t find a home with my ears.

My last one for now as I need to start packing my gear and heading out for today’s jam session. I’ll finish up the final 4 after work. Maybe even during if it’s all quiet.
A Kid Called Panic.
Straight off the bat, this song is so upbeat and I feel like I could dance to this. It really doesn’t seem like it would be about what it’s actually about. The vocals seem so approachable and the harmonies throughout are superb, though I have to throw a quick highlight to the one halfway through the first verse. If you’ve heard the song, you know exactly which one I mean.
As I mentioned, the sound of the song really doesn’t match it’s meaning to me. But at the same time, I think that’s very fitting as I know that people who do feel like this often try to mask the negative emotions behind a more positive facade. If anyone here relates to these lyrics and actually wants to talk about it, I’m here for them.
This is just a super enjoyable listen. Great pick.

Glad you liked it! It’s a remarkable song from a remarkable album. Those harmonies are definitely a Moon Safari trademark, so there’s plenty more where those came from. Definitely check out the Lover’s End album, as well as Lover’s End Part III (which is a separate release but a continuation of theme from Lover’s End, which contains Part I and II).
I think you hit the nail on the head with the music not matching the lyrics and why it still makes sense. I can relate to the lyrics for sure, even if I’ve not quite experienced things on quite the same level as what is portrayed in the song.
-
Well I'm not sure what I expected from The Dripping Tap, it is a bit of an acquired taste, but I goddamn love it. I love that it's a giant jam session. Also, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard often have songs with repetitive lyrics like the "drip, drip from the tap, don't slip" bit. My son loves it when I sing that to him, he finds it really funny :lol
Didn't expect the greatest score, so that's fine.
I am surprised that The Last Baron scored even lower though! Maybe you just need to clean your ears out!

So I’m sorry. Are we doing the Round 9 or are we going straight to the Album Round?

So I’m sorry. Are we doing the Round 9 or are we going straight to the Album Round?
I honestly don’t know at this point. We’ll discuss it tomorrow. I mean, if we go another shorty round, like under 5 mins open category, I can probably make that work.
-
Well, we did one Mastodon track, let's jump to the next one.
The Czar
I gotta say, I really like that organ building up in the intro and the way it lets the guitar bleed out of it. Once the band kicks in, this first riff really fires on the right cylinders for me. The opening vocal passage gets me too, I'm sucked in for whatever is gonna happen with this one. Hell, I found myself singing along before too long.
Man, the second section opens with a crushing riff and just stays rocking, hey? This one really does for me what I wanted Last Baron to do. The vocals here sit a lot better in my ears too.
I did think it was maybe a little much to repeat each lyrical segment instead of writing more to fit the melody once it was established. It feels a little inorganic, which is a big shame. Everything that's happening in this song is great, so to have those repeated segments in there makes the song feel like it's cheating just a little bit.
This definitely renews my faith in checking out the rest of Crack the Skye though.

Second Life Syndrome
With how epic my introduction to Riverside was, I actually have high expectations for this one. Let's see if it holds up.
Well, it's another great intro, that's for sure. Super atmospherics giving way to the bass and drums really supporting that solo beautifully. And after that first verse, we get another great riff that's super rocking but manages to still hold off from being too bombastic as the track hasn't yet boiled over to it.
And as I look and see that the first third of this song has passed so quickly, I'm realising that Riverside are a band I very much need to get into. Everything seems to just click with these guys.
I really love that effect on the bass that comes in at the 6:00 mark or thereabouts. It's so sleek and kinda tasty for the lack of a better word.The whole melodic section that this riff brings in is a highlight actually. And what a great solo shortly after.
I get a bit lost in the ending though, it's really nice but I feel like I've lost sight of what direction the song was going as we draw to an end. Maybe it's just me though.
I don't think this one is quite as "me" as was Hybrid Times, but that's the nature of all music, right? Everyone has their own taste. This is great song though, and makes me want to just check out more Riverside.

Two left. Then and only the n am I allowed to have dinner tonight.
Woolgatherer
A nice and fragile sounding intro, once again giving me As Death Embraces vibes. However this vibe doesn't last. No, that merely acts as a prologue to the amazing sound that we soon emerge into. Man, what a great guitar hook!
I actually have to admit, I love the ewhole back and forth feel between the powerful orchestrations of the distorted guitars and the folky feel of the verses between.
But then you drop me into a deathly growling section. Damn, just when I thought I'd get on really well with this one.
But, at least I can easily tune out and listen to the guitars, those glorious guitars.
But this is overly quickly and we're into a heavier folky verse. Song redeemed. And then we go into that beautiful acoustic lead section.
Man, this song just keeps moving around, hey? It's great, actually. I don't feel like I'm stuck with any one piece for too long. I love the darkness that starts seeping in. Though, I must admit, I hear a really high pitched sound, kinda like tinnitus. Is this actually a part of the song? It distracted the hell out of me each time it came up. Next I'll found out there was no such thing and I'm going mad.
Damn, that solo was something else though.
Wow, this song was so much and yet I still didn't want it to end. Which actually felt like it might have done a minute before it did, as that coda with the demented keys sounds like very much something else starting rather than Woolgatherer ending. I think if this hadn't added that part and maybe had just a hair less of the growls, this would be a perfect 5 from me. It's very high up the list, but it's just held back a little for my own personal taste.

Highlander
Is it finally time? It is! The last song of the round!
From the opening piano, we get a great scene setter. Once that flanger kicks in on the guitar and the second verse begins, we know we're in for it. This is power metal heaven man. Such a great feeling all around. I feel like this song is actually sung by Sean Connery's character in Highlander about Connor Lambert or whatever his name was.
The leads are great, the vocals are awesome! This has so much working for it, bar the subpar early 2000s production (I'm not a huge fan of anything produced in this era apart from Brave New World really).
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that high note at 7:20? Like damn, dude's got some range!
But I feel like for all of this song's strengths, of which there are many, I have done the song a disservice by leaving it to this point. Everything that's here is brilliant, but I feel like other songs in this round have just done on eo the elements of this song a bit better, leaving this a Jack of all trades but not quite the master of any.
I loved it thoroughly, but I feel like this is where it ends up for me.

For anyone confused I think we’ll do one last round before the albums. It’s open, but if we can cap it at absolutely no more than 6 minutes a piece, that’d be grand. Hopefully that duesn’t invalidate anything already sent. Haven’t really looked.

Oh damn, I didn't realise I was doing that bad :lol I mean there is zero pressure to pick something that score well. Guess I'll send some weird shit.

I almost sent Hybrid Times for this round, so I am grateful that Sacul sent it so that you could experience its brilliance. Definitely worthy of a 5/5, I say! Nice to hear you liked Second Life Syndrome as well!
Also, when comparing Mastodon songs, I agree that The Czar is better than The Last Baron. There's nothing wrong with TLB, but there isn't much in the song that really interests me and I don't remember much about it despite having listened to it a few times.
I shall send for Round 9 soon!

The round 9 song I sent months ago is 8 minutes....I guess I can find something else.

Sorry Luke. There were just so many great songs here that it really changed things up this round.
-
Welp, there go my hopes and dreams. I was considering cheating and just sending you another Riverisde song this round cuz your rules allow it for some reason (feel free to stea my idea, folks ;) ) but I’m not close to the top of the rankings any more so there’s little point.
Will find something on the shorter side to send!

I think it goes without saying, Riverside is very very good and I’m looking forward to furthering my exploration of the band once this roulette is over.
Yeah, I think you said it best. The Czar piques my interest in a way that Baron didn’t. And I think that the lack of interest really lost it for me.
-
Sent! And then sent again because I forgot to link the song in the initial submission. :lol

Two left. Then and only the n am I allowed to have dinner tonight.
Woolgatherer
A nice and fragile sounding intro, once again giving me As Death Embraces vibes. However this vibe doesn't last. No, that merely acts as a prologue to the amazing sound that we soon emerge into. Man, what a great guitar hook!
I actually have to admit, I love the ewhole back and forth feel between the powerful orchestrations of the distorted guitars and the folky feel of the verses between.
But then you drop me into a deathly growling section. Damn, just when I thought I'd get on really well with this one.
But, at least I can easily tune out and listen to the guitars, those glorious guitars.
But this is overly quickly and we're into a heavier folky verse. Song redeemed. And then we go into that beautiful acoustic lead section.
Man, this song just keeps moving around, hey? It's great, actually. I don't feel like I'm stuck with any one piece for too long. I love the darkness that starts seeping in. Though, I must admit, I hear a really high pitched sound, kinda like tinnitus. Is this actually a part of the song? It distracted the hell out of me each time it came up. Next I'll found out there was no such thing and I'm going mad.
Damn, that solo was something else though.
Wow, this song was so much and yet I still didn't want it to end. Which actually felt like it might have done a minute before it did, as that coda with the demented keys sounds like very much something else starting rather than Woolgatherer ending. I think if this hadn't added that part and maybe had just a hair less of the growls, this would be a perfect 5 from me. It's very high up the list, but it's just held back a little for my own personal taste.
4.75 + 1
Well, I'll take that! Still very much enjoy the album this track is from, and it might in time get up there among my favourite Wilderun songs, it's just so damn good. The mood and atmosphere of the track give you this uncanny feeling throughout, made evident by that tinnitus section indeed. I love the growls in this track s well, as they add to the sound and they're used rather sparsely. Glad you enjoyed it!

Just got back from vacation and still catching up, I'll send something today :)

Well the song I did end up submitting for that round got a 4, so if Miasma gets a 5 I'd be willing to let it slide for an extra point... ;)

You got two wrong, but because they’re all that’s left, I’m not gonna make you guess again for an interchangeable resolution.
Btw, no one guessed the sleepmakeswaves song title, despite it being pretty obvious from the letters in the board.

Whoopsie, sorry. Been working a lot this week and just been super drained. Here’s some impressions!
Ooh, that’s got a real strong hook for a riff!
That real quick genre evolution is jarring and awesome
Miasma: There’s a distinctive 80s feeling here for me
Can’t tell if I’m depressed or inspired?
I feel like dancing 20 seconds in
Brain integrity at 75%… 50%… Failure imminent
Over the Hillside: Chill vibes at their best!
Ooh! Chunky!
I feel like killing dragons now
I love how well that softer section flows amongst al the heaviness
I like this, but I don’t really know what about it actually works for me yet
Love those acoustic harmonics permeating throughout
I really like the story here
Not sure how I feel with this one
This is nice and upbeat
Life: All the melodies are really strong, making up for the language barrier
Whoa… that voice!!
A wonderful sound and a wonderful piece of artwork.

So, is this on official hiatus, or is it just dead due to zero fuck's given?
You might as well just wrap it up Deadeye... it seems you're either entirely ambivalent about the whole thing, or have much more important things going on in life. Either is perfectly fine and understandable - maybe it's just time to be honest about the whole thing and call it a day.

12 days since the host posted.
Roulette rounds should be a one week turnaround. 10 days tops.

Come on now, let's cut him some slack. It's his first roulette, maybe he was over ambitious taking on so many participants, and he'd likely be the first to say that. Plus, it's hard to know what shit people have got going on in their lives outside of DTF.
My current round is running over, but I've got personal shit I'm dealing with and as much as I'd like to prioritise my roulette, it's not possible right now.
-
Yeah, but we all have shit going. Whatever. Forget I said anything.
-
Not an attack on anyone dude, and I know we all have shit going on. I know Deadeye has been stressed and worried about offending people on here previously, that was all.
I didn't feel personally attacked by what you said Tim (although I could see why you might think I did, my comment sounds like I'm pissed) , I was just saying that my current round is running over and as much as I'd love to stick to a week turnaround, I just suck at doing write ups :lol and life stuff always gets in the way.

It's cool, Luke.
I just think when someone decides to run a roulette, they have to realistically look and see if they have an 8 week window to do it. I know a round here and there can run over, and that's no biggie.
I just think when someone hosts a roulette, there should be some sort of commitment to run it somewhat on schedule. Obviously shit pops up, but anything other than day to day bullshit shouldn't affect anything.
I'm not an impatient guy at all, and there's shit going on in my life at the moment too. Lots of it, actually. To me, it's a consideration for your (not You personally) participants issue. An invitation needs to followed by your (again, not you personally) commitment, that's all I'm saying.

I do agree with you Tim. That's why it took me like 5 years between roulettes, I knew I couldn't commit fully to it whilst I was at my previous job. Roulettes are a big commitment,but I only truly understood that after my first roulette.
I think it can be easy to forget that first time rouletters can be like "oh this looks fun, I'll dive straight into this. 18 participants? No problem".
I do agree that this roulette has taken a long time but I suppose I'm putting myself in Deadeyes shoes and it could be easy to never get involved in roulettes again, and that would be a shame. We live and learn and roulettes are a learning curve for sure.

. Number of participants AND number of ro7nds was a bit too much for a greenhorn
-
What's so hard about it? :lol You receive songs, listen to them and rate them.
-
I guess the other aspect is that Deadeye is quite new around here, so his attachment to DTF compared to the rest of us where a lot of us a legit friends and have been around for years would be totally different. Not excusing him but it's something else in his defence. But still, you decide to do something, you follow through to a strict schedule.
-
Working long days every day now, a hell of a lot of travel time and gigs just about every weekend as well. There just has not been enough time in the last three weeks to sit and do the writeups. When I do get five minutes, I’ve had to give it to my bosses that ask for extra work that they then didn’t even actually want or I’ve had to go off for blood tests that never came back with any results whatsoever.
But ya know what, I’m genuinely done after this. Cheers for everything, but if you guys want to attack me for not having more than 2 minutes to myself in a day, I’m not gonna bother hosting the album round and just to be safe, I won’t even participate in any of your roulettes going forward either.

Good job guys... Cyber bullied him right out of it. :tup

Jesus ... lighten up dude. I didn't see anyone attack you personally over this - maybe some harsh comments just on the situation. I think everyone here gave you all the slack you needed. Hindsight being what it is, you weren't ready to run a roulette. Have a look at the OP about roulettes, and judge yourself on how much of the criteria you met (before and during) as a host.
I'm happy for you that you've got some many good things going on. Genuinely. You didn't have to rage quit on us, you could've just been honest about your situation rather than routinely ghosting your own game. I think that's all people were calling you to task on - and that's not an attack.
-
Jingle has a point, a little openness on the front end will save a lot of aggravation later.
-
Yeah. Especially for those old farts with no life.

It's not that serious mate. Just maybe a few more check ins and updates would have been sweet. I mean, imagine if we took as long as you did when sending songs, kinda goes both ways when you sign yourself up to host one of these. We're not personally attacking you.
But also, perhaps you need to look at your schedule on a whole. I'm not talking this, but real life. I'll take '2 minutes to yourself a day' as a slight exaggeration, because everyone has more than that, it's just how they manage themselves and their time. You've also been ill, that's not good at your age mate. I've said that before. You seem like what you have on is slightly getting to you, so maybe just take some time for yourself no matter what.
And tell those bosses that shit will get done when it gets done. Don't let them ride you, trust me, because it won't stop. If you do shit whenever they say, it will only get worse.
Trust me, you need time for you and fun things, like this. Life is too short to live and work for other people if you really don't want to do it and it's taking a toll on you.
-
The fact of the matter, Deadeye, is that you're new around here, and have been a quite likeable chap.
Roulettes are more about sending songs and getting scores. It's about getting to know people, and you had a number of people join your roulette, me included, to learn a little more about our new member.
By inviting people to join, you are also signing up to keep your end of the bargain. You don't invite people to your house, only to go out and leave them there.
There has to be some consideration on your part. Plus, now there's a Waiting List.

Deadeye, serious question mate, you are struggling at the moment with one sing each with your current schedule, how are you going to go with 18 full albums?
-
I don't know about others but I'm fine with just one sentence (why you liked/didn't like the song) and score, no need for huge writeups nor hangman. Just keep us posted, what phase you're in, when can you deliver results etc.
-
Up to you guys if I should do the album round, it’ll be limited to top 3 anyway, but the next few weeks aren’t quieting down much.
Anyway, although I haven’t done the math for the points tally, here’s the results. Would someone mind running the numbers for me?

Ooh, this is catchy. I love the riff from the outset, but the vocals (especially with those harmonies) are just so catchy! All the little guitar runs are so cool. That chorus is the perfect amount of crushingly heavy and infuriatingly singable! That breakdown with the choir is good fun too. That solo section was something else, with the rhythm section doing some really cool timing changes. And that’s just the start of the instrumental! The riffing that follows is super awesome!
This is one of the songs that I felt I had the best time with in this round, and maybe throughout the course of the roulette. You’ve always had great songs, but you’ve finally got yourself a winner!

Worlds Away
Sent by romdrums
Certainly a ballsy choice, an almost 8-minute instrumental. And yet, within the first 90 seconds, it’s easy to see why you went with this. There’s a whole lot of variety on offer here if one dares to listen. From a heavier opening featuring a strange lead that goes into a melodic section that almost fills in the backstory of why that lead sounds that way and then recapitalising on these themes. But, it’s at 3:40 where my favourite melody of the song comes into focus. So calm and tranquil over a busy drum track that stands to imply the tension beneath the beauty. The way we build out of this section into something even more beautiful is amazing!
This instrumental was worth pushing as your last submission, rom. It’s amazing!

This is another one that might need to go into my playlist, but my ‘between sets at gigs’ playlist too. I love the sound of this song. The melody and harmony counterpoint so beautifully. I like the lyrics a lot here too. This reminds me a lot of Sad American that you sent a few rounds ago instrumentally. I love the idea of the “why is it so crucial who does as long as it gets done”.
This roulette is subjective and this song has hit me in just the right way that, while it isn’t the round winner, this is right up the top. Thanks for playing, Reaper.

Sent by wolfking
I do love that dissolve effect that’s used at the start of this one. That abrupt stop into the melodic verse was a little odd, but it sounded really cool so I can’t complain. Great vocals, great instrumental and man, what a chorus! This thing is epic and an awesome way to end off the final listen throughs for this round.

Space Whisperer
Sent by jingle.boy
Man, that intro is a bit weird, but that riff makes up for it instantaneously. Great tones all over, including the singer’s vocal timbre. The keyboards add a lot without being overbearing, especially in the chorus. The instrumental bridge could’ve done without the speech over the top, but I love how the solo section is a lot of everything at once without feeling like too much of anything. Great restraint while going all out.
4.75, missing out on a total 5 for using speech that really adds nothing of value multiple times.

Who needs subtlety? This intro comes out guns blazing. I get a bit of a Haken feeling out of this overall actually, but those horns are a super nice touch. I love the prechorus, actually prefer it to the main chorus section. (Just in case, I’m talking about the “burn my bridges”). I really enjoy that bridge with the multiple vocal parts too. The little horns and strings ensemble into the guitar solo is great, and need I speak to how blistering that guitar solo is? Fantastic!
It’s hard to put my finger on what it is exactly, but I feel like there’s something a little bit lacking energy wise. It’s all there, it’s all clearly being given a wholeassed performance, there’s just something a little weak somewhere in my ears that doesn’t quite add up. All together though, banger of a song.

Ok, straight off the bat, is that Portnoy’s FII tour kit in the video? Looks a lot like it to me.
Ok, onto the song. This has a lot of cool hooks when it comes to the melody. Another song where the language barrier hasn’t actually gotten in the way because everything is so strong. I love those backing vocals through the second chorus. The solo is great, especially with the harmonised sections. This feels like it would be a good encore song for them. I could definitely get behind singing along to that whoa-oh melody in the audience. She’s got a wicked voice!

Miasma
Sent by twosuitsluke
Ambience to set the scene followed by a tasty drum fill to allow the rest of the band to expand upon it’s basis. The keyboards give me an extremely 80s feeling, but I would be remiss if I didn’t mention how cool it is when the harmony guitars take over that first melody in it’s second pass. The melodies here are really nice too. I like the way it all builds into the last section with that harmony riff. The solos are short, but pretty good. Can’t tell me that the riff straight after the keyboard solo isn’t based on Beat It though. The sax solo really brings it home!
It’s a solid track, though I feel like it could be stronger. Maybe it’s something in the mix or maybe it’s the bpm, but I feel like this could be a lot more pumping than it is. Even the solos feel a little like “we can definitely play these licks way faster, but we’re presenting them to you slowly” in my ear. But hey, everything here works. Just could be better executed with the exact same notes?

That’s a real haunting piano melody that turns into something I could easily dance to as soon as the band kicks in! Those vocals are really nice too, so strong! Great lyrics too, I was definitely singing along with parts of the chorus. This one burns through it’s time quickly, it feels like it’s still only just kicking off when that absolute face melter of a solo kicks in.
But, I have to sin those harsh vocals. They actually really didn’t need to be there.

Bird of Sorrow
Sent by Sacul
A song that I didn’t know I needed tbh. These lyrics are both sad and inspiring. It’s ok to be afraid, to make mistakes, but at the end of the day we have to keep going. Love and joy will find us again if we keep going!
I love the way that the rest of the band come in at the second chorus and reinforce the back half. This song is an emotional rollercoaster and the band participation make it so much stronger. While I feel that Glen’s voice is a bit much towards the ending while he’s screaming his heart out, it’s exactly that. He is screaming his heart out, he’s calling fir the strength to get through it and see another day.
Damn Sacul, I’m gonna miss songs like these. Even if they haven’t been the highest scorers, you’ve got my heart pinned down most of the time with the lyrics you’ve put forward.

It’s a really nice intro you have here, the chord changes hint at the darker changes to come. But then we get into the vocals. It’s back to gutturals. You know I’m not a huge fan of those, but I know you also said that it’s a tradition to send every new host a Moonsorrow song. When we get into the “when the chains are broken” section, his clean vocals are really nice! It’s the instrumental sections here that I really like, like how the solo plays out over the intro melody instead of just the chords.
Man, I feel like if it wasn’t for the harsh vocals, you’d have almost had a round winner on your hands. There is so much to enjoy here, but those verse vocals really put me off.
4.5, because your instrumental was so strong!

Such an 80s vibe, like I’m hearing a bit of Police in here. I can easily get lost in this one and I love that feeling. This is a song that I would listen to in a chilled mood and probably stick on repeat as well. It’s beautiful! That trumpet interlude is a really nice touch. This is going in my playlist for sure. There just isn’t a whole lot to say about this song though. I like that little natural harmonic sound at the end. I like the song. I just feel like there isn’t much I can say.

Millennium Quest
Sent by TAC
Ok, take my head clean off with that intro, why don’t ya? While this feels like it could easily get washed away in the genre of power metal, there are huge notes being hit seamlessly, there’s enough going on instrumentally to keep me really engaged, especially when it comes to a solo that could’ve in all honesty been just another shredfest if it weren’t for the band behind it.
Now, where it gets cool is at that 3 minute mark when it all changes. The heavy bridge into the melodic guitars is a fantastic touch. But then that unison where the bass is following the lead is SO. DAMN. COOL!!! Admittedly, I felt that the instrumental section may have stretched on a little too long, but the final verses brought it all back together for me.
I will admit, this one may have been a little too long for me in this genre, but I feel like they did a lot in that time and most of which I found really enjoyable.

Ok, so that intro really gives a false feeling for the song. Opening with that jazzy feeling but going into something almost grunge like before a prog af feel after the first 90 seconds. Talk about laying it all on the line for the last round. Oh, and then the jazzy feeling comes back but super heavy at the same time. Before the end, we also get something that feels like a classic musical theatre cue.
I think this song suffers from trying to be too much at once, because I’m finding that I’m getting really into what’s happening in one style and then getting torn out of it for something else. It’s quite disjointing. It’s not to say that I dislike the material here, because I really don’t. Everything that makes up this song is really quite cool. But I don’t think it all belongs together the way it’s presented here, maybe a few more transitional moments could’ve turned this around.

No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature
Sent by Stadler
That intro sets this song up to feel really fun, which is a feeling it doesn’t drop at all. I found myself singing along to the chorus the second time. Even though this labels itself as two songs, New Mother Nature slots in as a second half easily. I love the interplay in the third verse of New Mother Nature where the first verse of No Sugar Tonight sits in as a backing vocal and then scatting the chorus line as an ending. This is just a really fun song that left me with a smile.

Brutal honesty straight up? I hate that drum tone. So synthetic and kinda unsuited to the song. I felt like I should just get that out of the way.
Right, onto everything else. I love that clean guitar tone that sets the whole song into motion. I think his vocal timbre is quite interesting. The riffs are pretty cool, especially in that instrumental section. I love the way the first ‘solo’ is done on the clean. It’s well structured, it’s nicely paced and the bridge section has a really cool eeriness to it. The ending solo is really good, though it triggers one of my pet peeves. NEVER FADE OUT A SOLO WHEN IT’S FINDING IT’S FEET!!
But, when all is said and done, it is a little basic. Solid effort though.

That lead riff could’ve fit on Alice Cooper’s Brutal Planet without a struggle, it’s an immense intro. The piano break is a nice touch. I gotta say though, while they are great, the tone of the vocals here are pretty much exactly what I hear when I think of power metal in general.
The thing for me is this feels like just another power metal song. This one doesn’t overly set itself apart in the genre and I found it a little forgettable. The solo is cool, everything sounds fine, but I just didn’t get blown away and feel like “holy crap! I found that golden nugget that’s gonna turn it all around for me on this genre”.

What an intriguing piano motif. I really like the fluctuating rhyming pattern and the vocal melody. It’s an intriguing story actually. It’s hard to really put my finger on what I like about this other than the storyline. There’s not a lot here to really get behind here for me. But an interesting listen, nonetheless.

We both got a 6 in round 8, so that gets us to 44.25 and 42.5 respectively:

While I love the song the way it is, I agree with your comments about the disjointed feel of it. There's a couple parts that I would've really liked to hear go on longer or be more fleshed-out.
