Crow's Overdue Roulette v8 - FINAL RESULTS!!!

[Crow]

Round 4 First Impressions!

Faizoff: I can't exactly tell you why, but this genre of metal has always been the hardest sell out of all of 'em for me and this isn't really standing out in any way to defy that bias.

TAC: Okay, you definitely don't actually listen to music like this, right?

Ariich: I don't know what you were worried about because you clearly understood the assignment better than a lot of other submissions here.

4. Always liked but never loved these guys and it's easy to pinpoint why - the mixing is just atrocious.

5. This is right on the fringe of a style I've been surprisingly into as of late but lacking the aggression… and tempo… that really makes it appealing.

6. I think this is the closest anyone has come to directly repeating themselves thus far in this roulette, though to be fair I feel like this is a slight improvement over last time?

Litho: I've always seen these guys as, like, the most milquetoast, average possible version of their genre, but to be fair it's a genre I tend to like.

King: Oh hey I've heard this one before. These guys are like radio rock menaces.

9. The song is a pileup of neat riffs that doesn't really amount to anything or feel cohesive in any way.

10. Bit one note and I'm not quite a fan of the guitar sound either, it feels like a very literal and objectively correct but misguided take on the theme.

Dacul: Y'know, I feel like going in a different direction than literally everyone else for this round is probably going to pay off more than it deserves too.

Seneca: The highlights of this are among the best moments of the round. The parts in between exist to make those highlights stand out more. And yet I still feel obligated to complain about the latter.

Vmadera: Another band I've always struggled with, and… yeah, this isn't really changing my mind either.

14.  The genre this band lists themselves as would've never occurred to me because they sound like a completely different, better genre on this song.

15. It really has the feel of being radio rock of a bygone era, sans the sticky hooks that most characterize the style, so… uhh, that makes it a bit less than that.

16. One of those "cool sound" bands that I've never fully loved but I'm never against hearing more from either.

playlist i will never remember to add the first time:

2, 3, or 12?

[Buddyhunter1]

Dacul: Floex – Prelude I

Wait what?

I like this song a lot, it was my favorite in my last roulette, but I'm struggling to understand how, in any universe, this fits the round theme.

[King Postwhore]

5. This is right on the fringe of a style I've been surprisingly into as of late but lacking the aggression… and tempo… that really makes it appealing.

Maybe this one?

[Sacul]

Dacul: Floex – Prelude I

Wait what?

I like this song a lot, it was my favorite in my last roulette, but I'm struggling to understand how, in any universe, this fits the round theme.

The theme was "loud music", not "heavy music with distorted guitars", so I sent that (mostly because I ran out of heavy stuff that Crow wouldn't hate anyway)

11?

I get that. That song is very quiet except for the very end which isn't all that loud either.

[Sacul]

I know, but I was genuinely struggling to find something that could fit . Then I realized I could have sent a pretty obscure and fun band that had some heavy stuff, but it was too late. Maybe in a future round.

[lonestar]

3?

[Buddyhunter1]

Anyways, I'm pretty sure 11 is Sacul.

[HOF]

9?

[Crow]

updated with correct guesses 

[Lonk]

13?

[TAC]

TAC: Okay, you definitely don't actually listen to music like this, right?

 

It has a great chorus!


Wait till you hear the next round!

[King Postwhore]

8. Oh hey I've heard this one before. These guys are like radio rock menaces.

This one?

Let's try #3, fuck it

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I'm irrationally getting in a bad mood just reading the impressions, not even knowing if mine is one of the negative ones.   

And oh boy, wait 'til I post impressions in my roulette tomorrow.  After this I might hold back even less.   

I'm gonna wait 'til a bit of the fog of war has cleared before trying to guess mine, it could easily be more than half of them. 
 

[Tomislav95]

I hope 3

[Crow]

updated with all correct guesses

[King Postwhore]

Crow, if you like the song I sent, they came out with a new album last year.  It's very good.  1st new album in 19 years. 

[TAC]

Crow, do we have a playlist?

[Buddyhunter1]

womp womp

[ariich]

3. I don't know what you were worried about because you clearly understood the assignment better than a lot of other submissions here.

12. The highlights of this are among the best moments of the round. The parts in between exist to make those highlights stand out more. And yet I still feel obligated to complain about the latter.

Surely one of these.

[Crow]

Crow, do we have a playlist?

yeah

[senecadawg2]

12?

[TAC]

Crow, do we have a playlist?

yeah

Let's have it!

[faizoff]

1 then.

[Crow]

Crow, do we have a playlist?

yeah

Let's have it!

it's in the impressions post 

[TAC]

Oh how could I have missed it?

[senecadawg2]

Seneca: The highlights of this are among the best moments of the round. The parts in between exist to make those highlights stand out more. And yet I still feel obligated to complain about the latter.

Hopefully you've warmed up to the less exciting bits, but I can't say I'm too surprised by the impression. I feel similarly about a lot of her music, albeit not as much with this song.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I'm irrationally getting in a bad mood just reading the impressions, not even knowing if mine is one of the negative ones.   

I was just thinking the same thing 


Mines probably either 7 or 10 

[TAC]

I have no idea what my Impression means scorewise.

[Crow]

Mines probably either 7 or 10 

there is a lack of correctness in this statement
