Train of Naught: Tremonti – You Waste Your TimeI was probably just a little harsh on this one, but only a little. I like it a little more than World on Fire, so.
New Score: 6/10 (+.5)
LordCost: Vangough – Corporatocracy Was really annoyed with this at the time but I probably was a bit harsh. Still not an outstanding song but I definitely underrated it a little.
New Score: 6.5/10 (+.5)
Shadow Ninja 2.0: Kvelertak – MjodI definitely underrated this one ‘cause it’s kind of catchy and got stuck in my head, and I didn’t hate it getting stuck in my head, so yeah. Not like I’m huge on it even still and I don’t exactly want to check out more from this group either, but!
New Score: 6.5 (+.5 Bonus) = 7/10 (+1)
425: Death Cab For Cutie – We Looked Like GiantsI’ve had that main melody firmly lodged into my head for the past week so it must be doing something right, dunno. Also probably complained too much about the outro going on too long ‘cause I don’t really tend to mind that kind of thing that much.
New Score: 7/10 (+.5)
FlyingBIZKIT: Dredg – PariahBumping this one up a bit on the strength of the chorus. It’s a really good chorus that’s part of an otherwise okay song. Chorus only happens twice though and I’d loved to have more of it.
New Score: 7/10 (+.5)
Train of Naught: Avenged Sevenfold – Save MeHere I think it’s more that I’m paying attention to the lyrics more than I did before, I already kinda got this was a tribute to the band’s previous drummer but the lyrics are really pretty good. I still think the mixing is off and it goes on a bit long/is a bit samey but, yeah, this is cool.
New Score: 7.5/10 (+.5)
FlyingBIZKIT: The Dear Hunter – The ThiefThis is probably the most difficult song of the roulette thus far really, which makes sense seeing as I had no clue how to rate it the first time and I actually had to relisten to it twice to properly rescore it. After the relisten… yeah, I’m gonna say screw my gut and go with my brain, ‘cause I do dig this now that I finally have listened to it like, 8 times, hah. Maybe will check these guys out.
New Score: 8/10 (+1)
LordCost: ThumperMonkey – WheezyboyMaybe because I’ve been listening to a lot of harsher music lately but the heavy part doesn’t bother me as much now. Rest of this is still cool too, so. Yeah.
New Score: 8/10 (+.5)
Elite: Agent Fresco – See HellI probably didn’t pay the vocals enough mind when I was first listening to this because they’re very good and add a fair bit to an already decent song.
New Score: 8/10 (+.5)
FlyingBIZKIT: Susanne Sundfør - The Silicone VeilProbably slightly underrated this one, I think, though I don’t have anything new to say about it, really. It’s on the same level as Bjork, mostly.
New Score: 8 (+.5 Bonus) = 8.5/10 (+.5)
senecadawg2: Foals – Spanish SaharaI mean, yeah, I told you I was gonna up the score on this one. I’ve actually come back and listened to this more than Being Human, even, though I still vaguely like that one a bit more. It’s a shame the rest of this album didn’t really stand out to me though, heh.
New Score: 9.5/10 (+.5)
