ariich: Petter Carlsen - CornerstoneThis song really seemed to do a lot in it's short length. It started soft, built up to a climax, and then let go. Pretty simple structure, but very effectively pulled off. The strings when it got loud were insanely beautiful too. Great one.

Nekov: Marco Minneman - Isn't it Ol?This was a really fun little jam to listen to.
All the instruments performed greatly and it was enjoyable musically too. Marco Minneman really is a great drummer.
Gorille85: The Prescription - Watch the Giants FallSo this isn't normally my kind of music, but it turned out to be a pretty awesome song. Really
in it's own sense and fun to listen to.

AcidRainLTE: Faith No More - Surprise! You're Dead!While I love Mr. Bungle, I haven't really delved into Faith No More much, hearing a few songs here and there that weren't really my cup of tea. This song was pretty different then the ones I've heard, and was a lot more aggressive. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
kari: The xx - IslandsSo this was some pretty enjoyable indie pop.
I liked both vocalists quite a bit and musically it was a stellar song.
YtseBitsySpider: A Traitor Like Judas - We Only Live As Long As We Choose To Carry OnSo this was pretty straightforward metalcore/melodeath. But I enjoyed it quite a bit really. I've only heard a couple metalcore bands I can tolerate, but these guys were pretty good.

Ravenheart: Florence + the Machine - My Boy Builds CoffinsSo, this song is a lot better than the points give credit for. This just happened to be an amazing round.
I enjoyed the guitar quite a bit. I've heard a song or two from this band before, and they're quite good. This is no exception.
obscure: Band of Skulls - LiesSame as above. Great song, just got a little lost in the mix of an amazing round. This song gave me major Led Zeppelin feelings, and while I hate LZ, I think the girls voice made up for it. I think she's a great singer.

DTVT: Slough Feg - Free Market BarbarianSo I've heard Slough Feg before, although I can't recall which song. I hear talk that they're a 90s band, which is funny as they feel a lot more like an 80s metal band. This song was enjoyable for sure, but I guess it kinda lost out to the others.

Woo boy, this is a close one!
Round 5: I did this round last time. And now I'm doing it again because it was my favourite round last time.
Send me something weird/odd. Take that as you will. Don't worry about it being too weird for me. For christsakes, I listen to
this!
