Round 2 Results - The Mr. Bungle Round
Player: MoraWinterSoul
Artist: Bruce Dickinson
Song: I’m in a band with an Italian drummer
Review: Another song that is very disconnected and quite uninteresting. Not even Bruce with his awesome voice manages to pick it up
Score: 2
Player: King
Artist: Phish
Song: Down With Disease
Review: Funky beats once again. Another fun song with a fantastic bassline complemented with easy guitars and simple drumming. I’m not a fan of the little cuts in between the song but every time they manage to pick it up and go back to the nice funky mood again. Smile achieved.
Score: 5 + 1

Player: Shadow Ninja 2.0
Artist: Gotthard
Song: Lift u up
Review: I’m surprised this band isn’t more famous cause they do a really good hard rock. As the title implies, this song really manages to lift me up, with very clever drumming, guitars where they’re supposed to be and some nice vocals as well. Still not a song that blows my mind but one that I really enjoyed. It got a smile from me
Score: 6 + 1
Player: Lolzeez
Artist: Gong
Song: Witch’s Song, I am your pussy
Review: Weird song. The instrumentation is good, specially the saxophone. Overall I think they do a good classic prog however the female vocals bring the song down a lot. Without those I think the song stands very strongly. Smile achieved.
Score: 5

Player: Zantera
Artist: Mr. Bungle
Song: Ars Moriendi
Review: This song just seems too random and unconnected. There were some moments where it managed to catch my attention but those were brief.
Score: 2
Player: UMH
Artist: Mr. Bungle
Song: Squeeze me Macaroni
Review: This was a bit more enjoyable than what Zantera sent because of that funky bassline and the good use of winds but overall it was too quirky and disconnected
Score: 3 + 1

Player: Scorpion
Artist: The Fratellis
Song: Henrietta
Review: Not something I would find myself listening yet it did the trick. It’s a quite simple song but it has a nice groove and is uplifting. Got me to smile, but I got a bit over it after the 3 listen.
Score: 4 + 1
Player: Windmaster
Artist: Mr. Bungle
Song: Goodbye Sober Day
Review: Evidently this band is not for me. See Zantera’s song review
Score: 2
