Hi everyone. This is my first roulette, so we'll see how it goes. I called it laid back not because I won't hound you for submissions if you are late :), but because of the lack of themes or eliminations, and also my comments on the submissions will probably be more laid back than a lot of what I've read. Usually something resonates with me or it doesn't and I don't have a list of reasons that question the band's artistic choices to explain why. I will try to give the best feedback I can, and liking/disliking the vocals will be part of it because that's an easy one. :) I'm not a musician and I usually don't care about "production," "the mix," "loudness wars," or things like that. It'll be, do I like the vocals, do I like the melodies, is there a cool little part here that makes me want to hear it again, am I moved by it, do I find it a chore and can't wait until it is over, does the constant double bass drumming make me want to throw myself from a cliff, etc.
In the roulette thread, I joked that I was going to call it Lethean's Sad Music Roulette, but you don't have to send sad music. Some of my favorites (especially Katatonia, Leprous, Riverside) have been described as on the sad, dark, depressing side, but listening to them makes me happy, whereas often, music that is described as "happy" makes me irritated. I love Angra though, and they are on the happier side, so it all depends.
My tastes:
Mostly in the metal arena but I like other music as well. You're welcome to send whatever you want, but I would really prefer you to avoid country, rap, and hip hop. I used to exchange music with dorm mates and heard enough to know that at best - it just doesn't move me, and it worst, it grates on me. Also - the way Kattelox described some of the music in his roulette made me want to throw up. :) Sugary, flowery, sweet, etc. I'm not sure if I'd actually dislike the music because it might not sound that way to me, so there's that. :) For example, I love Anathema, so if he would describe Anathema that way, it might be fine. (I definitely wouldn't, however). They're on the lighter side of what I listen to but there's an intensity to them that I like.
Prog metal is my most listened to genre, I like some prog rock but find a lot of it uninteresting to me, I like a fair amount of power metal but also dislike a lot of it, I like Iron Maiden and Dio but a lot of bands that are compared to them miss the mark for me. It's hard to say why I like one band but not another. I really dislike harsh vocals - Kattelox might be surprised since I sent him an album with harsh vocals during his roulette (Solefald), but it's a very rare exception rather than the rule. I really hate the more guttural death metal vocals and even Opeth, who everyone else who doesn't like harsh vocals likes, falls into that category. I am more likely to tolerate vocals like those in Solefald or Borknagar (and those bands also have clean vocals too). I've also been told that I don't like music that is too blues based in case that helps anyone.
Rules:
8 rounds, no themes, no eliminations. If everyone sends me 20 minute songs in the first round I might impose a time limit, but for now I'll leave it open. Once an artist is sent, that artist is banned for the rest of the roulette. I'll take duplicate submissions in the same round. I'm stealing an idea from Elite by scoring the songs in each round against each other. So 1 will be my favorite song of the round, 2 is the 2nd favorite, etc. I reserve the right to have ties if I can't decide between 2 songs. Whoever ends up with the lowest score at the end of round 8 wins.
Also, to discourage people from sending me music that I'm likely to hate (Stadler), here's an incentive for the top 3 scores:
3rd place - choose an album for me to listen to; the album has to contain a song you sent me that I liked
2nd place - choose 2 albums for me to listen to - one has to contain a song you sent me that I liked, and the other has to contain a song you sent me, whether I liked it or not
1st place - choose 3 albums for me to listen to; same rules as 2nd place for 2 of the albums, and for the 3rd album it doesn't have to be from the roulette. Rap and country are banned from this, however, unless you sent me something in the roulette that I actually liked.
Now - I won't listen to these albums right away (will want some time to focus on ProgPower USA bands), but I will listen to them and will post my thoughts before the next DT album is released at the latest. :)
Edit:
How to submit - youtube would be great, send me a link to a file if your song isn't on youtube. I don't use Spotify or other such services. (Sorry for any inconvenience).
(participants and banned list in next posts).
-
Participants:
There will be 8-10 participants, and I'd everyone to submit the first round by Friday (07-06) - if can send on Thursday, great. I'm going to try to do round 1 somewhat quickly and have the results by Tuesday, then get on a normal Monday submission schedule after that.
There are reserved spots for those who said they would like to participate in the roulette thread - please confirm your participation or let me know if you'd rather sit this one out:
1. Kattelox
2. Stadler
3. Puppies on Acid
4. Parama
5. Sacul
6. Jingle Boy
7. TAC
8. Evermind
9. Train of Naught
10. Elite
-
Banned List:
Bands in green are my most played. Anything with an x means I only have 1 album by that band. Anything with a d is something that I have heard and either deleted the mp3s ordecided I didn't like it after playing on youtube. So if you want, you can try to send me something from a band with an x or d and if I haven't heard it already, I'll give it a listen. If I have heard it, I'll let you know you have to pick something else. I'd probably recommend staying away from the deleted bands because usually I delete them for a reason, like "hated the vocals" or "meh" etc, but sometimes I just gave them a very cursory listen and moved on to save time, so it's up to you if you want to try.

I've added you both. :)

I'm in :metal

Also - the way Kattelox described some of the music in his roulette made me want to throw up.
Get ready to vom, because I am going to drown you in power metal :lol
Really looking forward to this and I have some great ideas to send and if anyone steals them, I will find you. :censored :lol
-
If someone doesn't confirm, I'll take their spot.

No, Lethean just needs to accept more people anyway :biggrin:
-

I don't think it was actually power metal you were talking about, but I didn't listen to the other stuff in case people wanted to reuse submissions.
Stadler - I'm definitely expecting you to send me some older prog. I love Rush, but when I've heard from Yes and others never made me want to keep going, but I also know that there is a lot that I haven't heard.
-
To be honest, the more I see power metal fans talk, the more I realize I hate power metal, so you're probably not actually going to get a lot. Maybe 2-3 artists I'm super passionate about. I'm plotting my half-assed map through this roulette now. :biggrin:
-
I called it laid back not because I won't hound you for submissions if you are late :),
Nice. That sounds great...
I'm in :metal

Confirming that I am in!

Yeah Lethean, I'm very curious to know which it is.

Already sent for round 1 :corn

In like Flynn.
Gonna have to go scrounging around for the right stuff.

Wow I didn't even catch this until you quoted it, Chad - shame as I was debating several Jorn solo tracks to send. I LOVE Jorn's body of work so that's sad to hear Lethean isn't a fan.
-
I LOVE Jorn
You mean Jawn...
-
Also, what do artists with a "b" (Avantasia) mean?
Also, I don't think I've ever seen Prototype or Superior mentioned at DTF. :tup
-
Hang on, let me roll up on the sidewalk and take a look! Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban... check! I'm in!
Haha, seriously, I'm in. I'll probably send tomorrow, I want to think about it a bit.
-

I'm not a big fan of Prototype but was just listening to Superior's Ultima Ratio this week. Underrated band
-

Also, I don't think I've ever seen Prototype or Superior mentioned at DTF. :tup
Sorry - Avantasia is just plain banned; I removed the "b." Superior - love Behind and Ultima Ratio. Prototype - according to my notes, I didn't like the vocals, but I really don't remember anything about them.
-
Anything with Jorn Lande - Jorn Lande is to Lethean as Chris Cornell is to Kattelox

Definitely a bad thing. Jorn is just one of those singers that sure, I recognize he's good, but I don't like him.
-
Rhapsody d
Nice try... they're still coming. :lol
You know I didn't even realize that was there. When I get back home I'll see which album it is.
I removed Rhapsody; it was Triumph or Agony but I never listened to it; I just had it on my hard drive and it got removed during a purge after I'd seen them live (Fabio version) and wasn't into it. So, whatever they played when Voyager opened for them I wasn't really into, if that helps at all. Also, I didn't like the Luca Turilli version either when I saw them at ProgPower, but I did comment on how good the singer was. There was nothing objectionable about either show, and it's certainly possible that I wasn't in the right frame of mind not being familiar with their music at all.
-
Rad. :corn
-
So this is full already, right? Guess I'll just spectate then.
-
I'll be sending mine shortly. Oooh, I'm so pumped. And no, I'm not going to make a mockery of this and just try to get Lethean to poke his ears out with a fork. But I might try to go with some of the "x"'s and "d"'s to share deeper tracks that he might not have heard, or that might be a step apart from the stuff already likely heard. All in good faith, of course, and all in good fun. Thankfully, my 401(k) is not tied to my performance in these roulettes, but I love playing in them and know if I go too far off the reservation, I'm not going to be invited back. That's the driver for me.

I'll probably be joining you for a few rounds in sending older stuff. The more I think about this the more I'm entertaining the idea of sending mostly non-metal songs :)
-
So this is full already, right? Guess I'll just spectate then.
Nekov and Orcus haven't confirmed yet - if they don't, TAC is in first and then you.
-
Stadler (and all) - just be patient with the "d" bands because some of them are bands that I don't remember listening to and would have to look at what I wrote about them, and are likely quite acceptable for this roulette. Others are just bands I don't like at all; I've heard a lot of their catalogue, but I don't own anything.
So - I'll save you the trouble and let you know that Kiss is probably plain old banned. A coworker lent me lots of Kiss to listen to and I remember sort of liking a song called Unholy, and that was the extent of it. I really dislike Paul Stanley's voice - to the extent that I also often dislike Matt Barlow because he reminds of me of Paul Stanley!
And everyone else - I'll save you the trouble and tell you that Pain of Salvation is banned because I kind of hate them.
-

:lol It's a good thing for me IE is banned!

Sent!!! Shouldn't surprise anyone, though it's not something I've sent before.

Matt Barlow because he reminds of me of Paul Stanley!
I've made that connection as well.

They could... but I kinda doubt it because I'm in control of how often they get played. Also, I tend to need multiple plays to decide how I feel about something. It's rare for me to like something right away; or even dislike, unless it's stuff I hate.

Yes, if they don't respond by tomorrow you and Evermind are in.
-
Evermind is gonna send Beyond the Bridge at some point. :lol
Lethean: gotta ask, as I'm an adventurous music fan, besides not liking country and rap, and enjoying prog/power metal, are you open to other genres of music? We're talking like... new age. Jazz of several varieties. 70s singer-songwriter stuff, cinematic music, all that. Or are you looking to stay in your comfort zone (prog)?

Another question for our host... where do you stand on chicks? I noticed your banned list is somewhat light on the ladies.
-
As long as someone introduces him to The Old Man and the Spirit, I'm good. :biggrin:
I just looked at the banned list and while some of the artists I thought of are banned, there are plenty of holes for me to fill... wait, that came out wrong.

So is Triosphere, but after that, it's slim pickin - suggesting that maybe you're not keen on female vox.

It doesn't have to be prog. After all, Candlebox is on my list (in fact I almost sent you their debut album but thought the better of it). That being said, if someone sends me a prog song that I love, it would be likely to win the round - but there's plenty of prog that I don't love or even like. So - let's see. Jazz... don't like that much, but there has been stuff described as "fusion" that I thought was cool. What, you ask? No idea - sorry. :) New age - I dunno, and I'm not really sure what all that encompasses. I like some Enya songs - start off listening to an album and think it's great, then at some point find myself wondering how many songs 'til I get to the end. Obviously this wouldn't be a problem if I'm just listening to one song.
Cinematic music - movie soundtrack type stuff? I probably like plenty of that but have never thought to just listen to it by itself. Singer-songwriter, I don't know. I'd have to really like the singer's voice and really like the melodies. If the singer sounds like he or she is talking/mumbling - pass.
I listened to a lot of classical music growing up and particularly liked Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky; I'm not looking for super long pieces of classical music, but if you've got something that you think is cool, I'd interested in hearing it. What else? When I'm staying with my parents they listen to a lot of PBS, and I've heard a ton of Andrea Bocelli, Sarah Brighton, Josh Groban, David Foster (and his friends), etc. Great voices, but generally doesn't move me, and in the end, that's what I'm looking for.

Well, Voyager makes me :puke:, so that's why I clearly didn't get it. I got mixed up between Voyager and Oceans of Slumber (A, because I saw them both on tour with Evergrey, and B, because after hearing each of them, I couldn't give two shits about their music).

To help out and answer the question seriously though:
Nightwish:
Tarja - please god no
Floor Jansen - sometimes like, sometimes don't (the more operatic she gets, the less I like her)
Annette - OK
Delain - don't like, don't send them to me
Epica - don't like, don't send them to me, why did Angra have to ruin their title track by letting her sing it?
Amaranthe - :puke:
Leaves Eyes - :puke:
Who else?
Anneke - haven't checked out Vuur yet; didn't like the Gentle Storm, generally OK with her in studio on Ayreon but sometimes, especially live, too much vibratto
I don't like operatic female vocals - or male vocals really, but sometimes people call male vocalists like Geoff Tate "operatic" and that's not what I'm talking about. Otherwise, it's not that I don't like "normal" female voices, but I often don't like the bands that they are in.

So what you're saying is...

Sure hope Parama doesn't feel the same way but he probably does because I only send him garbage
Speaking of female vocals, Lethean, what is your opinion on Rolo Tomassi (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhcF-3wBlEw)? :lol

Pay no attention to Kattelox; he was probably just trying to get points off the first round.
I've never heard of Rolo Tomassi but whether I'd soon get sick of the vocals or not, seems like they're pretty good.

TAC and Evermind - go ahead and submit for round 1. :)

No trying necessary, you're gonna hate what I have to submit :2metal:

There's something to be said for going with your gut and sending what you like. It's not as if your student loans will be paid off if you win.

I was hoping Lethean would pay off my mortgage actually. If I win, that is :) :)

fortunately did not have any student loans to pay off thanks to a number of scholarships
I did just yolo send something right before I went to bed, 4/10 incoming

You know how people ride their bikes to school, right? Well, they have to have a place to park and scure them. That's called a bike rack. Not sure why you'd ask me for the definition, but there it is! :P

Agalloch's growls are much more like a whisper than full on screaming, so I could see that doing well. Whoever sent it picked a good one. That's one of only 3 bands I recognize so far.
I dig the drumming in Parama's pick! That's cool.

I thought Elite's method of ranking the songs against each other would be better, but I feel like this round is going to be very difficult to rank 1-10. A lot of good stuff here. I've haven't gotten into lyrics yet, so that's next and maybe it'll help, and letting some of these songs grow on me for another day or two should help as well.
-
Yeah, this is a solid lineup.
-
I'm actually quite jealous of you discovering all this awesome music for the first time.
-
Some of these aren't on your banned list either so maybe you'll discover them at the same time. :)
I'm convinced that there's no shortage of great music out there; it's just how much can you absorb and enjoy and what crosses your path at the right time, etc.
-
Woah, this hangman game is intense, no way I would have had time to do this haha. Good shit though.
-
I've found that Lethean's dislike of double bass drumming has made for a real fun time going through the music I'm dying to send, because it's a good excuse to send something out of left field. :corn
-
Well, it's not that I completely hate it, I just generally prefer it to not be constant throughout the whole song. Even so - I'm sure there are some Angra songs where it's exactly that and I'm OK with it.
-
You're right. Perfect Symmetry is in fact perfect :biggrin: :2metal:
-
Well... I wouldn't go that far. It's one of my least favorite tracks on that album. I don't often skip Angra songs but that one does get skipped from time to time.
-
I had Amadeus Awad on the short list.
Pretty sure all you had was a short wad. :D

Well, at least both of us are predictable, Malph.
-
Here are some brief snippets from the write-ups. I feel like the theme of this round is "Really good songs with singers I don't think I like very much..."
1. I find myself really drawn to the bass and drums on this track.
2. I don't know what to say about this track, other than I really like it. I'll try to come up with more for the final writeup, but if not, be happy with the high score. :P
3. Did I forget to put Symphony X on the banned list?
4. This track seems to take a while to get going, but about halfway through it's so beautiful.
5. I saw this band open for [a great band] and hated them, so I wasn't looking forward to this.
6. This is one of the shortest songs in the roulette, but it feels like the longest.
7. It's rare that I like and dislike parts of the same song so much.
8. If I liked the singer on this track as much as the band you compared them to, it might have been the round winner.
9. This is very much what I was expecting from this band, and I wasn't disappointed.
10. I had to listen to this track quite a few times to make sense of it.
-
note to self: send an instrumental next round
-
I have a feeling mine is number 7, for no reason whatsoever. I'm definitely not the shortest track, and I don't believe I compared my track to anything else.
-
If you dislike Portishead's singer I'll send you growls all remaining rounds :neverusethis:
-
Mine has to be 2, 4, or 7.

I'll take Symohony X comparisons for $800, Alex.

:rollin. I think you'll find that you are mistaken about a great many things...
-
Mine is probably #8
-
Usually, I can guess which one is mine - "bland", "boring", "Don't see what anyone can like about this", "generic crap that you hear on the radio" - but I can't here. When "be happy with the high score" can actually, plausibly, be mine, well, I'm in unfamiliar territory!!
By the way, I was listening to music this weekend and I thought "that would be a GREAT song for a roulette!"... and I can't remember what the song was. Dammit.

Round 1 Results:
This was very challenging, but fun. I would say I don't consider myself to be super picky about vocals, but you all might disagree after reading some of the comments. 😊 It's not that I think any of them are bad - it's just like I mentioned before; not sure how much I like some of them. I think some of them, like the songs themselves, could still grow on me, however.

10. Portishead - Glory Box
Sent by Sacul
I like lots of different flavors of tea, but this unfortunately is not my cup. This feels like one of the longest 5 minute songs I've ever heard. I gave it a real try. I disliked it on first listen, and the next time I went through the playlist, my mind was already trying to revolt and say "skip please." But I didn't; not until the last couple days when I realized it wasn't going to click. I listened to it at work, in the car, and just lying on the bed with headphones. Threaten me with growls all you like, but no I didn't care for the vocals at all. (Of course I didn't!) There was one point in the last minute of the song where I thought maybe it was going to take off and something was going to happen, but then it just kind of ended. There is probably "hipster music" that I would like, I don't know, and I'm sure it's a fine song, just not one that appeals to me.
9. Witherfall - Sacrifice
Sent by TAC
Every track from here on out, I mostly like. So even though this one is down in the rankings, it doesn't mean I think it's a bad song. Thoughts on the track:
Did I forget to put Symphony X on the banned list? I know there are probably a lot of bands on my list that would remind one of Dream Theater, so I have little room to talk. I'm just finding the Symphony X parts a little problematic in the song, and I also don't think I like the singer that much, so there's that too. There are some really cool instrumental parts and then the singer comes in and even though it sounds like this guy is probably great, most of the different shades of his voice aren't working so well for me. Maybe this will be a case where the track/singer grows on me and then I'll find myself not caring about the Symphony X (and Yngwie) parts, but as it stands now, I think this will end up towards the bottom of the list. I will say that I really enjoy the part at around 6 minutes; it's a great build up to the end of track and I like how the different instruments come in; I'm not just not sure I care for the very end.
8. Deep Purple - Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming
Sent by Stadler
I really hate that I didn't rank this song higher. This is a great song, period, and what I don't like is strictly down to personal tastes. It's certainly not bland or boring and when I did listen to the radio, I never heard it there. :) I love the first minute and a half, the ending, pretty much everything except the chorus. I love that main guitar melody that runs throughout the song. However, I hate the chorus, which brings it down for me. That's a certain style of vocal melody, I guess, that I just do not like at all. I couldn't say why, but it is a very specific thing I can point to at least, which I was happy about because I was afraid my write ups were going to be "I like this song; I don't like that song." Aside from not liking that vocal melody, the vocals are just kind of there for me; the slower vocal melodies in the rest of the song are very nice and complement the music, but the vocal delivery (for me) just isn't there. Which is weird, because I thought I would like Ian Gillan, and even saw Deep Purple live and didn't object to him. But there it is. I do love Steve Morse on this track. I can hear that guitar melody, which is really simple but really cool, in my head whenever I want. It's rare that I like and dislike parts of the same song so much.
7. Oceansize - Unfamiliar
Sent by Puppies on Acid
I've seen this band's name before, possibly just on this forum, but had never heard any of their music. As seems to be the theme of this round, I feel that I would like this song a lot more if I liked the singer's voice and some of the vocal melodies better. He reminds me of someone, but I really can't place who it is. I trying to focus on the music underneath instead (which is actually pretty cool). I might also prefer something else from the guitar player maybe? I find myself really drawn to the bass and drums on this track. Overall, I think it's very good, but finds itself closer to the bottom of the rankings just because I do like the other songs better.
6. Amadeus Awad - Tomorrow Lies
Sent by Evermind
This is a really nice track. It seems to take a while to get going, but then halfway through when the strings come in it's so beautiful. I like the extended guitar solo too. I will confess to sometimes wanting to skip ahead to start at that middle part, so that could be why I didn't rank this one a little higher.
5. Dissona - Another Sky
Sent by Parama
I saw this band open for Leprous and hated them, so I wasn't looking forward to this. Also, this has way more than the 10 seconds of growls advertised. :P Nonetheless, this song was a pleasant surprise. Unpredictable in a very cool way. I don't remember anything they played breathing like this track does, the harsh vocals don’t bother me nearly as much as they did live, and the guitar playing sounds like, um a guitar, instead of a bunch of mush. Maybe they're not a good live band or maybe they just had horribly bad sound, but whether they played this song or not, everything about the studio version is much better than whatever it was that I heard. I'm not completely into all of the vocals, and sometimes think he's trying to be too dramatic, but I'm mostly OK with them. There's a softer part in the middle that I love, and it's in between two heavy sections and sounds really cool.
4. Agalloch - Our Fortress Is Burning, Pt. II (Bloodbirds)
Sent by Kattlelox
This is very much what I was expecting from this band, and I wasn't disappointed. Beautiful track. I don't have a whole lot to say; the music is very atmospheric and clear and beautiful. Also, I like birds and bird themes (see also, Katatonia). The vocals work well enough for this type of music, though maybe I could do with just a bit less of them. Like the one Agalloch album I already have, I doubt that I'd listen to the whole album all in one sitting. Rather, I might listen to individual tracks here and there, or maybe two at a time.
3. Port Noir - Any Way the Wind Carries
Sent by Train of Naught
I seem to have trouble saying much about the tracks I really like, and this is one of them. If I liked the singer on this track as much as I like Einar, it might have been the round winner. (Although the more I listen to the top 2, the more I like them, so perhaps not). This song is very intense and stays that way throughout. It does indeed have a Leprousy vibe, but also has its own flavor as well.
2. Soul Secret - Behind the Curtain
Sent by jingle.boy
I don't know what to say about this track, other than I really like it, so enjoy the high score. I can now add that I didn't get a Symphony X vibe from it (you thought I might have been talking about your track in the snippets), but maybe it's there in a subtle way than Witherfall. Whatever the case, good call on sending this. I like the beginning, middle, and end, and the singer too. Most of the tracks in this roulette were pretty long and I had more than enough music on my hands so I didn't go searching for other material, except from this band. Unfortunately, whatever I clicked on sounds like a completely different band. Different singer, total Leprous wannabe vibe. Maybe it's very good, and you can perhaps tell me about it if you've heard it, but for now I'll stick to the album that this track is on when I go exploring.
1. Perihelion Ship - New Sun?
Sent by Elite
This was kind of a come from behind victory. I had to listen to this track quite a few times to make sense of it. The first time I went through it was at work, and I didn't remember anything about it except that it was long. Some of the other tracks were early leaders and I was having trouble getting a read on this one. Here and there little parts stuck with me though, and then slowly the song became unlocked for me and I liked it more and more each time. The laughing part reminds me of one of my favorite Arcturus tracks; it doesn't sound like Arcturus, but it's weird, and so is Arcturus, and I like that about them. I'm starting to like the singer more than I did at first too, but it almost doesn't matter anymore; it's the music that does it for me with this track.
-
Awesome. I'm glad you liked that track, I really felt like it had to be sent. I'm going to get a couple obvious picks out of the way for the next rounds.
-
Portishead make just chill but pretty emotional, subtle music imo, guess I'll send something more direct :corn
-
Huh.... Thought that track would do better... Time to go for something completely different.....maybe.. :corn
-
It didn't do bad! I really did like it.
-
It didn't do bad! I really did like it.
Actually I don't mind losing to Agalloch (that song is GODLY, but I was intentionally staying away from harsh vocals), Soul Secret, and Perihelion Ship. I'm surprised that Portishead song did so poorly. That song is great, in my opinion.
And I think I have something picked out for the next round. I should have it to you in a few minutes.
-
Sent another one of my favorite songs of all time. I told you this group was coming. Now your enlightenment has begun. :corn
-
Rhapsody or Rhapsody of Fire or Luca Turilli's Rhapsody sent by Firewings
Unless he went super old school and sent Thundercross :biggrin:

What if I sent Firewings by Aquaria? :neverusethis:

It's funny that you mention the 'laughing part' in your write-up. I don't think it's that weird, to be honest, but the buildup in that section is amazing, going through mellotron and guitar solos and the blast-beat stuff with growls. I love the entire album and think it's actually better as a whole than their first (Puppies will disagree), with the last two tracks as highlights especially. I agree with you that the singer is the weakest part of the band, but instrumentally they show some amazing musicianship. Enjoy the rest of the album, when you get to that!
-
Pleasantly surprised at this result. As for other music by Soul Secret, stick to the first two albums - Closer to Daylight and Flowing Portraits. The two that followed those (4 and Babel) are shite.
-
I would agree re Witherfall, I really just don't get the love for those guys.

I was starting to feel all guilty, especially because I mostly really liked that DP song, but then I remembered - you almost won Firewings' roulette. :P. I may have done slightly better than you on wolfking's, but you did wayyyyy better on FW's.

Oh god, I had purged all memory of Babel from my mind. That album was absolute shit...I couldn't believe it was the same band. Closer to Daylight was a near masterpiece. I actually never listened to 4.

I still didn't win. To further torture the analogy, that was simply the roulette that Ernest Byner fumbled on the one-yard line. All the others were "Johnny Manziel-era" failures. :)

Not that much of a football follower, but I get your meaning well enough. However, looking back, isn't it better to be the runner up at Wimbledon vs the player who lost in the first round?

No, it's not that weird, but it is a little. Not in a bad way. Does the rest of the album have a similar amount of harsh vocals, or is there a lot more?

Can't wait to see what you think of growls in this song.

4 was mediocre at best. I bought it, but can't remember the last time I played it.
I'm at my company work conference this week, and just have a few minutes of downtime right now. Hope to get a submission of tonight if I can, but more likely tomorrow night.

I had to resend and this time I went with non-growly track. Oh well.

Interesting group of songs.
UFO-Nice call Stadler. Wouldn't have considered them.
Led Zeppelin-is not banned??
Rishloo-Landmines-One of the 5 best songs sent to me in The TAC Roulette v2.
So I was eager to join this roulette because anyone that has Armored Saint on the Banned List has to be cool. Except that Lethean has informed me that Armored Saint is banned because he doesn't like them. :facepalm:

Dereliction of duty! Dereliction of duty!! Get back to listening to Steve Lukather right now! :lol

I tried to warn jingle off LZ, but he wasn't having it.
As for Armored Saint, someone needs to read better. They're not banned because I don't like them. I neither like nor dislike them. I bought some albums to prepare for them playing ProgPower. Because I have heard more than one full album, they are banned. I thought they put on a good, high energy set. But I never got into the albums.
-
I think TAC just got served. :lol
-
Nah. His point still remains though; if he wanted to join because he thought I was a fan, he was disappointed to learn otherwise. But for me, they aren't banned because of a distaste for them, unlike say, Jorn Lande. My dislike for his voice also extends to David Coverdale, do consider him banned too.

Um...here's the actual quote...
They're mostly banned because of ProgPower USA; they turned out not really being my cup of tea but not bad either.
...which I took as you saw them at PPUSA and didn't care for them.
No mention of buying any albums and actually listening to them. :P

Good point. I probably only implied, but didn't really explain in the OP: Everything on the banned list are bands with albums I've heard. (Almost all of which I own unless there's a d, but there might be an exception). If it's something with an x, I only have one album so I'm allowing those. So I've heard multiple Armored Saint albums, but the reason I have is because of PP, not because I knew about them back when Joey Vera had long hair.
It's all good! I can't stand Jawn either.
I'd say you belong in this roulette after all. :)
-
Joey Vera has really done great for himself. Even on the old Armored Saint albums, his bass playing really stood out. I saw them a number of times, and I always thought he was excellent.

No argument there. I saw him with Fates Warning first, and thought he was great then and with AS too.

Apocalypso is a weird mew pick btw
Not a bad one, just a weird one
To be honest, I had a really hard time picking just one song from that album. It all flows so well and it's a top 20 album of all time for me. I also almost went with The Zookeeper's Bow or White Lips Kissed or Why Are You Looking Grave. It's really an album that should be listened to as a whole...
-
Yeah, which is why I usually just send stuff from frengers instead :P
I like frengers more anyways tbh
Comforting Sounds is a 10/10 so
-
I like Frengers a lot, but whenever I get the urge to listen to Mew I always put on And the Glass Handed Kites instead.
-
Zookeeper's is my favorite Mew song omg

I still have a lot of listening to do (for all of the songs), so that may or may not be the case. We'll see.... But I'm fairly confident that you shouldn't second guess yourself with this particular choice.

I know exactly what to send next round. :tup
-
If it has Jorn, it's banned. If it's Whitesnake, it's also banned. (Unless they've allowed Michele Luppi to take over on vocals for a song.) :)
-
It is absolutely nothing like either of those two, and if I ever start enjoying Whitesnake, please have me committed. :lol
-
:lol. Will do. :)
-
I'm actually thinking about sending a Whitesnake song. Not one of the "hair-fest" Whitesnake '87 songs, but I have two in mind, one from the acoustic album (it's a radio broadcast from Japan with just David and Adrian) or an acoustic version of a song that was electric on the album it features on. It's not like I have the mortgage riding on my win. :)
-
But you can't, because they've just been banned. If necessary, I'll add them to the list. An acoustic track might even be worse, because there would be even less to distract me from how much I dislike his singing...
-
Here he goes again on his own, sending all the banned bands you've ever known! :metal
-
:lol
-
*scratches off Coverdale/Page from the list of options*
-
Nothing left for me to do
But whisper a prayer for the dying
I'm still loving this album, Chad, thanks for introducing me to it.
-
Half of it is excellent. I remember being pleasantly surprised when it came out.
-
Plant sang "Shake My Tree" at the Page/Plant show I saw. It was awesome.
I was going to send either the acoustic "Forevermore" from the album of the same name (it's a bonus track), or "Don't Fade Away" from "Starkers In Tokyo. No screaming, no growling, just that warm mid-range voice... I love it.
-
Stadler, I'll listen to both tracks at some point. I don't expect my feelings on his voice to change, and I'd rather just check it out separately without having to rank it or listening to it multiple times over and over again. :)
-
I think I kind of suck at write ups. But here are some snippets:
1. I feel a little bit guilty for ranking this track as high as I'm probably going to. Well played.
2. I'm not yet sure what I think of the first X minutes, but the last 2 minutes of this song are so intense.
3. Hmm. I was very much looking forward to listening to this even though I was also wary… unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working for me.
4. This song is just magical.
5. The first time I heard this track, I thought it was incredible. The next couple times, I thought it was a bit too repetitive and maybe I'd been overly enthusiastic. Today, I thought it totally ruled.
6. I thought this song was a bit long and repetitive the first time, and still do.
7. I should probably have checked this band out further a long time ago.
8. I have to say I'm a little confused with this submission. It's a good song, but at the same time makes me think this band might just not be for me.
9. I'm hearing a fair amount of Symphony X in this track too, but it's not quite as in your face as it was on the Witherfall song.
10. I actually quite like this song; just not as much as most of the others this round.

I was thinking the same thing.
The whole "I've had enough of idle reverie" part is all kinds of glorious.
My song is long, and mostly instrumental, so I hope it isn't one of the repetitive comments because frankly, getting another 9 this round would be repetitive. ;D

Round 2 Results:
Initially I thought round 1 was stronger, and overall I still do, but as these songs started to grow on me, I really found myself enjoying almost all of them. So again, being lower in the list doesn't always mean it was a miss - I just liked the others more.
------------------------
10. Ulver - A Memorable Fancy, Plates 17-20
Sent be Elite
Hmm. I was very much looking forward to listening to this after Perihelion Ship, even though I was also wary because what I'd heard from Ulver never did much for me. I'd never heard this song or the album it was on however, so I was excited. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working for me. I keep wondering what it is that I might be missing, but I've come to the conclusion that I just don't like it. There are moments where I think, maybe this is it, but those moments aren't really long enough. The last couple minutes of this song are much much better than the beginning, but it just isn't enough. And I don't like the vocals much. I think it's impressive that Garm seems to change his voice and singing on every album that I've heard. The first Arcturus album was harsh vocals, the second was totally different, and I can't say I really like his vocals there, but the album is just soooo good, and then he sounds different on the Sham Mirrors (and I like him), and different again on the Ulver album I own, and still different on this. I'd say he's probably very creative and tries to change things up, and I have respect for that.
9. Led Zeppelin - Carouselambra
Sent by jingle.boy
I'd already listened to the Ulver track a few times before you sent your submission, and was already struggling with it, so I thought this was your chance to take the lead. I almost told you that, but thought it might not be fair roulette play. So here we are. I actually don't hate this song, but certainly don't love it either. I just thought it was a bit long and repetitive the first time through, and I still do. I'd be happy to give you your $400 Jeopardy winnings, but you still owe me a whole month's paycheck from Kattelox's roulette. 😊 What else to say about this track - it's fine. I don't have strong feelings about Led Zeppelin; there's a lot I've heard that I like and a lot that I don't, and this is kind of in between. I've always been on the fence about Robert Plant's voice too, and I'm more towards the not liking it side here. During the slow middle part, I really don't care for him during what is otherwise a pretty cool section.
8. Mew - Apocalypso
Sent by Puppies on Acid
I actually quite like this song; just not as much as most of the others this round. It's just maybe a little too…pretty? Maybe. Too light, and by too light, I don't mean that it's not metal enough; there are ballads and lighter songs that I completely love and would be "less heavy" than this, but it's too light in a different way. This might make it sound as though I don't like it, but that isn't the case. I never felt like I needed to skip it when playing the songs, I've had it in my head at times, and I think there is a good melody and interesting playing.
7. Toto - Bottom of Your Soul
Sent by Kattelox
I have to say I'm a little confused with this submission. It's a good song, but at the same time makes me think this band might just not be for me. Part of this is probably on me; you said you knew exactly what to send me with Toto, and what I was imagining was something entirely different, with different vocals, because I'm pretty sure this is the singer I'm not too fond of…Or is it a 3rd (or 4th) guy? I was expecting something that was going to make you say "I told you so." So - I had to step back and try to separate what I was expecting from what I actually had in front of me. And it *is* good. Like the Mew song, I didn't want to skip it and found it a nice listen each time. I like the acoustic/piano part that's in the middle of the song a lot. The vocal melody is sad (in a good way).
6. Dark Empire - From Refuge to Ruin
Sent by Evermind
Definitely not too long. 😊 The Amadeus Awad track wasn't too long either; it was just that I liked the second half of it so much better than the first which is why it made me sometimes want to skip ahead. That was a good track though, and I'd like to hear more from him when I get to exploring some of these bands after the roulette (and ProgPower and fall tours) are done. This Dark Empire track is maybe also a little too Symphony X-ish… certain parts have a strong SX vibe and sometimes the singer seems to be trying to channel Russell Allen. Having said that, I do like this song. I liked the feel of it right from the beginning. The flute solo is indeed cool. 😊 I also like the segment that it transitions into; really nice build up with the sustained guitar notes (if that's bad terminology, you can laugh, but you probably at least know what I'm talking about). I like it from there to the sad guitar leads up until the vocals, which are a little too Russell ish at first, but then as it picks up, that last minute or so, Russell Allen or not, is really really cool.
5. Nine Inch Nails - The Wretched
Sent by Sacul
Now this has a cool vibe. I should probably have checked this band out further a long time ago, because I mostly enjoyed what I've heard. Though, I think I heard the entire Downward Spiral album and the like to dislike ratio wasn't enough to make me want to buy it. Maybe it's time to take another look at the band and see what I think now. This song is dark and intense. I liked it from the start but thought it would end up lower in the ranks, but after the 2nd or 3rd time I just found myself really enjoying it.
4. Rishloo - Landmines
Sent by Train of Naught
I guess I didn't disguise this one in the snippets too well, eh? Either that, or no one else was that confident about their track's last 2 minutes. 😊 Before I get to that part - this track is a great example of why it would be a bad idea for me to rank these songs right away. I wasn't into it that much, and perhaps even tuned out a little the first couple times. Nothing wrong with it; just didn't grab me. Then, then ending really got my attention, so while I wasn't sure what to think of the first 4 minutes, well, last 2 minutes of this song are so intense. It's even a bit longer than that, maybe the last 2 and half minutes from when it gets slow and airy, then picks up, and then just kills it. Wow. That guy has a great set of pipes too. So at that point, I kind of felt like it was time to just listen to the whole song until the beginning fell into place, and that pretty much worked out for me. Fantastic song.
3. Pyramid Theorem - Primitive Design
Sent by TAC
I feel a little bit guilty for ranking this track as high as I'm probably going to. It's probably very predictable of me to love this track, but so be it. There's a definite Rush/DT vibe going on here. Lo and behold, I looked them up and the members of the band are also in a Rush tribute band. :lol I can't help it; this is good stuff. Well played. You sent it before you read my comments on Witherfall, so it may be more of a coincidence, but I still find it funny that I criticized that track for being too much like Symphony X and have no problems with this one whatsoever. (Word of caution however - there are times when something reminds me of DT too much and I *do* have issues with it; for example, Circus Maximus). Anyone reading who likes some proggy goodness, listen to this track. What little vocals there are are very good. But it's mostly instrumental and totally rules.
2. UFO - Love to Love
Sent by Stadler
This song is just magical. Not at all what I would have expected from the UFO sampling that I've done in the past. The guitar intro is very cool, but then the real fun begins with that keyboard part, and then the instruments all slowly start to come in, then it builds up, and it's just fantastic. Not a fan of the vocal "it's been too many times" melody, but I don't care; the rest of the singing is fine and overall, the song is just *so* good. I almost always listened to it twice when I ran through the playlist for this round. The guitar solo at the end is cool too. It flies by when I listen to it and I wouldn’t mind it being twice as long. 😊
1. Thy Catafalque - Oldódó formák a halál titokzatos birodalmáb
Sent by Parama
The first time I heard this track, I thought it was incredible. The next couple times, I thought maybe it was a bit too repetitive and maybe I'd been overly enthusiastic. Today (now a couple days ago), I thought it ruled. Even now, I'm not even sure I should be giving it the top ranking, but I'm going to do it anyway, because I played it more than the others. So, this is the 2nd winner that has harsh vocals, and people might be thinking "I thought Lethean doesn't like harsh vocals, I guess I'm going to send some too!" All I can say is - the harsh vocals aren't overwhelming, and don't make me feel like I'm suffocating. Parama, and Elite (and Kattelox w/Agalloch) did an incredible job with their picks, probably read the OP, and noticed what's on the banned list. If you send me, I dunno… Wolves in the Throne Room, you're getting a 10. If you send me vocals that sound like the harsh vocals on James LaBrie's albums, you're probably getting a 10. Between the Buried and Me - probably a 10. So, proceed with extreme caution if you take this road. :P Back to Thy Catafalque - this track actually doesn't remind me much of Solefald so much as it reminds me a bit of when I first heard them and was getting into them. "Wow this is a cool song… or is it…WTF was that?" This track is heavy, but also melodic, and intense. And creepy, and uplifting. When it comes back in after the first talking segment, it just… :metal By the end your heart's pumping. It would have been a crime if you pulled out of this roulette, even if I hate the rest of what you send. (But I'm really hoping I don't).
Scores after Round 2:
Parama: 5 + 1 = 6
Train of Naught: 3 + 4 = 7

Nice! The Fragile is less abrasive and more experimental and varied than The Downward Spiral, I absolutely love it and you should certainly check it out :tup

That seems to be a rather repetitive scoring.

Normally I ham up my expectations but I was honestly expecting BOYS to be one of the top songs. Wow, swing and a miss. :( They have so many singers and so many different styles of music in their catalog that it was still really difficult sending one knowing that if you don't like it you'll probably write the band off. I was trying to look back to see which singer you liked/didn't like but I couldn't remember and couldn't find it, so I literally flipped a coin to pick that track. Crap. Oh well. (I know you said you like it, but it's probably not going to get you into them)
That UFO song is worthy of 2nd place though. Good choice Stads.
-
:metal
let me pick out something sufficiently garbage for this round to balance things out
-
I sent 2 songs that he said he liked, but I'm still on the bottom. This is starting to feel like Wolfking's Roulette 2.0. :rollin
-
Ok, sent something that is almost certainly unexpected of me, based on my previous roulette participation, but still an all time favorite, so you will probably hate it :). Also this song is older than I am.
-
sent my most obvious pick of the roulette
-
Lesson for next round: do not send a grower.
-
Lesson for next round: do not send a grower.
I don't think it's that... Perihelion Ship was a grower; it certainly didn't start off being in 1st place. I just... don't think I like whatever it is that you would call that. It reminds me a little bit of this Arcturus release called Disguised Masters which I thought that I should like because I like (to some extent) everything else, but I really couldn't stand it. But at least this was another look at Ulver for me and I have a better idea that they just probably aren't my thing.
-
No, no, no. Ulver is so diverse that you can’t judge them by two songs.

No, no, no. Ulver is so diverse that you can’t judge them by two songs.
No, I'm sure not. But I have an album, I've heard this track, I've heard a track (or maybe 2) from Perdition City, I've heard some black metal tracks... and the creepy Sinister track. Which isn't to say that there's not one song that I'd like; War of the Roses was OK - didn't love it, didn't hate it. Aside from that album, I feel like a need something more melodic than I get from them.

You should really give Shadows of the Sun a listen.

Puppies you should totally send Type O Negative. You have no idea how much I love that October Rust album. :hefdaddy
-
So um, why aren't you sending it?

Maybe... :corn
Actually is it too late to change my submission? I have something else in mind for this round actually.
-
No it's not - go for it.
-
I'm bummed about my score, regardless. I think the track I sent is amazing, but it took me multiple listens over a longer period to really appreciate it. Same thing for the whole album though. Now I think it's Ulver's second best behind Perdition City.
-
So um, why aren't you sending it?
Because I have way cheesier stuff to send :neverusethis:
-
I'm happy with the score for Pyramid Theorem. I thought it might do well, with Lethean listing Rush and DT among his fave bands.
Love To Love is amazing. I would've never thought to send it.

That's a great ambient album, and I'd go with The Assassination of Julius Caesar for some dope catchy synthpop :metal

Now I feel guilty, and still think maybe I missed something. But let me ask you this - what did you think of the song the first time you heard it? Was it positive or neutral and then you grew to love it? Or was it actually negative and then grew on you that much? Maybe I'll try to come back to it in a couple weeks.
-
OK, I re-submitted. Hopefully this doesn't backfire on me.

Me and Rich... from Firsts to Worsts. :biggrin:
Gonna send something from the 80s this round, and see how that fares. Just have to figure out what. Will send tomorrow before I'm out for a couple of days of travel.

I originally sent something from the 80's, but then I chickened out and re-sent something else... :biggrin:
-
I'm just wondering why Stadler has the time to post in the General Discussion section but hasn't sent me anything for round 3 yet.... ;)
-
I sent 2 songs that he said he liked, but I'm still on the bottom. This is starting to feel like Wolfking's Roulette 2.0. :rollin
You've pretty much got the same competition too haha.

Because I'm delirious at the high score. I don't know what to do now. I'm paralyzed with fear. :)
I'll have something later this morning, promise.
-
I'll send mine later today. I still have no idea what to send (well, I have one that I'm confident Lethean will really like, but I don't enjoy it much, as I want to send my favorite songs/artists).
-
What were you doing yesterday then - planning all of the future rounds instead of this one? :)
-
What were you doing yesterday then - planning all of the future rounds instead of this one? :)
Listening to songs all day trying to find ones I both love *and* think you'd enjoy. It's been tricky - there's one band we both know you're getting but you've already heard so it's deciding if I want to send something completely out of the norm for them or some balls-to-the-wall power metal :P (edit: actually that's applicable to 2 bands! haha)
-
I'll send in a few hours when I get back home from work.

I'll send in a few hours when I get back home from work.
I'll send when I finally land on an act that isn't on the banned list, and isn't actually banned!
-
Found a Train of Naught™ hole in the banned list, sent!
-
Sent mine and immediately sent a different one to replace it. :lol
EDIT: Nope, have to send again :rollin I had no idea Lethean owned a few Stratovarius albums, for some reason I was under the impression Lethean either didn't know much about them or straight up disliked them based on a couple songs. Well shoot.
-
F*** the list!! I'm sending what I send!! Damn the torpedoes!!
Haha.
-
Sent the band I always try to send if they're not banned because they're pretty much the best thing ever. Let's see if I have to resend.

Nope, but you also got the band I sent him. Because they're pretty much the best thing ever not counting Beyond the Bridge.

Wait, Spirit, not Sea. Crap. I feel like Tommy Boy. "Wait, no... it's gotta be your bull."
-
I thought you were doing it on purpose. :)
-
Haha, nope. I'm just stupid! Wait... :|
-
I sent paramacore

I need songs from Sacul, Stadler, and Elite.

Sent harsh noise, because I want to see if that works.

Elite: growls only yuck you get last place again. I like the trumpets but the growls.. yuck

If that's what you think, why'd you send it?
Also, the first time I listened to the track I was really confused because it had none of the things you mentioned, and no vocals at all. Then I realized I'd found a totally different version. :lol
-
Yeah they like, redid the album as a weird electronic album or something a year later, I've never listened to that version tho

I agree, that album is so overlooked and it's actually one of my favs from the band. Well, I reckon it would definitely crack top 5, has a real atmosphere and certain charm about it. Nice pick, and that's probaly not even one of my favs from the album, yet still a cracking song.
-
Also, I feel like that Rishloo song is still growing on me.

And you haven't even heard their best song yet, Just A Ride! The only reason I didn't send that one is you probably won't think it's their best :lol

Do Einar and Ivar write the score for the show Vikings? This track *really* sounds like music from the show and I keep picturing Ragnar and Floki.
-
I have never seen the show but a quick google search shows that they do not. They're known from other bands (Wardruna, Enslaved and Gorgoroth most notably) and both came together on this project. Definitely does sound like it could be in some kind of epic movie/TV scene
-
I'm pretty sure I got one of their songs in my roulette and it was pretty good. Very interesting. Not as good as Noel Gallagher, but pretty good. :)

If they are in Wardruna then yes they do!!! I'm feeling quite pleased with myself. :)
-
Oh I did not know that, that's awesome. Einar Selvik is the frontman of Wardruna, and that's the band among associated acts that comes closest to the sound of this song for sure, atmospheric nordic folk. If you're not yet familiar with Wardruna's music and only found out about them through the Vikings score and dig this tune, they're a great starting place for checking out more music in this vein with the same intensity.

You should totally watch the show. I've never heard of Wardruna but if you search for Vikings TV show music, there's an article about Wardruna. I hadn't read it when you posted, but was trying to look at another page that had info about the songs. I haven't listened to any of the score outside the show, but the song you sent sounds a lot like what I've heard while watching. Really cool. :)

Usually not really a series guy but I might give it a shot, definitely if Wardruna does the music!
-
I know they had some of their songs licensed for use in the show. I'm reading on Wikipedia that they took part in composing the score for season 2 of the show but not sure beyond that.
-
Here's an article with some more details, and it looks like Einar even had a bit part:

-
I apologize in advance for any disrespect (it is purely unintended) but in the few snippets I've seen of that show, the actors (even some of the men) are engagingly beautiful/handsome.
-
I think that's probably a characteristic of at least 90% of shows and movies.
-
Vikings/people dressed as vikings are usually damn good looking. :biggrin:
-
Ranking some of these songs is torture.
A few bands that I'd heard of but knew little about, and of course some that were totally new to me.
Snippets:
1. The singing on this is much less annoying than I expected

Gotta be one of those, gun to head I'd go with 5. Or 7 - I'd describe mine as 'poignant' in a way but others might not, so...

Probably one of these, but yeah, that's literally 60% of the snippets, so idk.
-
3. That solo!
I'm claiming this one.
-
I'm calling Road of Bones for taking it's sweet time to get going.
For Saga... I'll take #10.
-
Yeah I think Road of Bones is #2 as well. Takes a while but damn is it a good ride.

I believe that mine could literally be any of them, except for possibly 8 (which I can see going to Typo Negative).
-
I actually think the 'intense' one is The Hirsch Effekt.
-
Agitation isn't particularly intense by Hirsch Effekt standards even but maybe
-
No, that’s what I thought as well, but still.
-
Really think Skuggsja is more likely to be that snippet than that Hirsch Effekt song
-
I have never heard Skuggsja, but that might be so if you say so.
I actually think my submission is quite intense in terms of atmosphere as well, but it’s likely not Lethean’s first thought on my song.
-
Results either late tonight, or tomorrow

i can now official post a :soon:
-
Results either late tonight, or tomorrow
Already? Wow!

Results either late tonight, or tomorrow
Already? Wow!
I anticipate needing more time for round 4, and I've been listening to these songs since Sunday and Monday.
Here's the deal with this round - there are 4 songs that I have been listening to back and forth trying to put in order, and it's not working. I have them mostly written up, but have a couple more hours of real life work to finish before finalizing them. At that point, I will try to come up with some way to put those four in order; maybe my likelihood of buying the album... Or I could do a 4 way tie (there's already one other tie in this round so I wanted to avoid that).
If anyone has thoughts - "cop out" or "fine with me" - feel free to share. :)
-
disappoint me :corn
-
i'm just here to get last place
-
Time for some results, because the longer I think about it the less sure I am. :)
This was a great round and I found myself really enjoying going through the playlist, which I did sometimes 3 times in one day. There was something to like about each track.
10. Saga - On the Loose
Sent by jingle.boy
So… this is not like the 10s from the previous two rounds, where I really just didn’t like them. The song is maybe a little too, bouncy? for my tastes and the chorus goes along with that. Having said that, I started to like it more as the week went on. It’s not something that makes me think I’d become a fan of this band, but it was cool to listen to. For some reason, when he sings the word “conclusion,” I think of Geddy Lee; not that his voice sounds like him. The vocals are good though.
9. Sigur Ros - Hoppipolla
Sent by Sacul
For some reason, this songs sounds the way the its name sounds - not the meaning of the word, which I don’t know if it’s real and haven’t looked up, but just the way it sounds. I like it, I’m just not too sure about the singing. But it kind of has this bittersweetness to it which is really nice - kind of sad and triumphant at the same time, especially towards the end. I’d be curious to hear more from this band to see if anything else might strike me.
8. Stratovarius - Out of the Shadows
Sent by Firewings
After reading that write up, how could I possibly not have accepted this submission? It doesn’t have the same affect on me as it does on you, but it is a very cool track nonetheless. If your goal was to win the round, there were just too many heavy hitters for that to happen. But if your goal was for me to listen to and appreciate something I otherwise would not have, you were successful. I didn’t have negative feelings about the old albums, but I just never thought to listen to them and assumed that Timo Tolki’s vocals probably wouldn’t have been so swift. Obviously he’s not Kotipelto, but I was very surprised by how good he sounds. I can hear what the band was growing into with this track, and the vocal melody is really nice and uplifting.
7. Heart of Cygnus - Sailing North
Sent by TAC
I was expecting a very Rushy track, and I wasn’t disappointed. This is one of the tracks I was having a hard time ranking. I hate not putting this one higher, but I had to come up with something. The “whoa” vocals are what brought it down from a higher position. They're just a bit too sing-songy for my tastes and tend to get on my nerves. The rest of the song however is so good, and so Rush-like, from the vocals to the guitar playing. And that solo!!! Wow; obviously very inspired by Alex Lifeson and very well done. Probably half of the time I listened to this song, I went back and replayed the last couple minutes once or twice before moving on to the next song.
6. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - A Simple Game of Genius
Sent by Stadler
I’ve heard Oasis before and found the vocals to be kind of irritating. The singing on this is much less annoying than I expected. In fact, it’s not really annoying at all. This song sounds so good right from the beginning; I like the mood that it sets. Really nice intro and I actually wish that part was a little longer. This track is way better than I was expecting it to be.
5. IQ - The Road of Bones
Sent by Evermind
I feel like a bad prog fan both for not having listened to this before now, and also for not ranking it higher. I heard some IQ tracks a long time ago, and always categorized this band as “sleepy” prog, which is where I also put Marillion and Pink Floyd, two bands who have some songs that I really like, but mostly don’t do it for me like they do everyone else. Still, I wanted to hear this because The Road of Bones was spoken of so highly when it came out, and I always meant to one day get around to it. I’m glad you sent it. This song takes its sweet time to get going, but when it does... it really does. I like it a lot, even though the “almost, but not quite” style vocals through a large part of the track are well, almost but not quite for me. The guy can sing though - I really like when he kicks into high gear. I’m going to check out this album for real now, so even though it’s not at the top, this was a great submission. The last 3 minutes or so are stellar and the beginning is quite nice, although I wish the balance was the opposite way around.
4. Obsidian Kingdom - Last of the Light
Sent by Elite
Hmm. This track is really cool. The harsh vocals almost last long enough to be an issue for me… but then they don’t. The middle part is totally cool and interesting. It’s not just the trumpet, but all of the other stuff going on as well. I wonder what the rest of the album sounds like, and if I could enjoy the whole thing or if it would start to wear me down. This song along with 5-7 were all close in the rankings but it edged out the others as of the final writing of this list. I may wake up tomorrow and think it should have been IQ again.
3. Ivar Bjřrnson & Einar Selvik - Skussgjá
Sent by Train of Naught
We now all know about whole Vikings thing, which was really cool. I thought about it right away, but tried to tell myself it was probably a coincidence - maybe they were just influenced by old Norwegian music and the show was using the same elements - but no. It felt like I was watching the show. I was afraid that the excitement over this is making me rank the song higher than I should, but it's impossible to tell if that's the case.
So, besides the Vikings connection - I really like the way Norwegian sounds when sung; I don't know why, but I've heard songs in a bunch of different languages and this seems to be my favorite. If I had to describe the track in one word, it would be intense. I like how this track builds and builds and builds with the intensity and it feels like something is about to happen. Also, if someone is going to talk during a song, let it be like this; then the sung vocals come in, and it sounds really cool. I thoroughly enjoyed this track.
Tie for #1 this time. I played both of these songs a ton.
1. The Hirsch Effekt - Agitation
Sent by Parama
So… I really hope you didn't send me this song, which is incredible, just for me to find that the rest of their catalogue sounds like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqRPBtXZSsE&feature=youtu.be&t=1m40s
I don’t know if the singer on this track is the same guy who screams, but whatever the case, he has a great singing voice. You could listen to the surface level of this track, the really poignant vocal melodies and the sweeping keyboard (I assume) strings, and just enjoy it for that, which is what I did the first time I heard it, and what I generally do if I listen to it at work. But then you notice all of the great stuff going on beneath the surface as well, the drumming, the little guitar parts, and it’s fantastic to just sit there with headphones and pay attention to all of the details. Keep it coming!
1. Anesthesia - Type O Negative
Sent by Puppies on Acid
Clearly, switching songs was a good move. 😊 Truth be told, I was 3/4 of the way through your original submission, wondering how on earth I was going to make it through those vocals for the next week, when I read your post asking to switch, and I couldn't type my response fast enough. 😊 Having said that - I do want to give that band a better try and if I could get the vocals to grow on me, there's a ton of great musicianship to enjoy. It would certainly not have ended up in this position, however.
So - I think I've managed to go without ever hearing anything by Type O Negative except their cover of Summer Breeze, which I don't think I really "got" at the time. I hadn't heard it for years, but when Kattelox suggested that you send Type O Negative, I did wonder if he was trying to set you up. I don't know why exactly - I didn't dislike that cover, but my memory of the vocals is worse than they actually are, if that makes sense. On first listen, I thought "come on man, don’t do this to me" - the vocals were like the polar opposite of the original submission and I thought if that's how it was going to be for the whole song… But then… the song became something else completely. Right at 50 seconds it just becomes, I dunno, perfect. Even the little things like the word "despair" just floating by you. I didn't know much about them but had this vague idea of what they were about, and whatever that was, is wrong. It didn't take long for me to enjoy the beginning either; maybe I just needed to hear it all in context to enjoy it. I really love the keyboards and how the vocal melodies work with them. It’s beautiful and intense and haunting and it sounds like there's anguish in some of those vocals. I definitely want to hear more of this album.
Parama: 5 + 1 + 1 = 7
Train of Naught: 3 + 4 + 3 = 10
Elite: 1 + 10 + 4 = 15
Stadler: 8 + 2 + 6 = 16
Puppies on Acid: 7 + 8 + 1 = 16
Evermind: 6 + 6 + 5 = 17
Kattlelox: 4 + 7 + 8 = 19
TAC: 9 + 3 + 7 = 19
jingle.boy: 2 + 9 + 10 = 21
Sacul: 10 + 5 + 9 = 24

Also, send for round 4. I need a little more time to listen this week. Also, Parama and Puppies sent their tracks right away last time... coincidence? :P
-
the hirsch effekt is a band of many styles
lifnej is among their heaviest songs though. but uhh yeah they do harsh vox a fair bit. if you wanna check out some other tunes i recommend cotard and natans to start with but i dunno if you'd dig a full album from them ever :lol even anamnesis, the album that comes off, has one really intense song in the form of ira
anyways wow i'm doing way better than i deserve to be doing, will send something tomorrow 'cause it's 1:30 AM and i need to sleep :lol
-
Okay, that actually did better than I expected! Time to continue sending awesome songs regardless of whether they contain growls or not..
Regarding Obsidian Kingdom: the album this song came from is likely not gonna be your thing. It contains a bunch of calmer moments, but the heavy parts are usually heavier and longer than the ones in Last of the Light. It's basically alternating between claustrophobic heaviness and brooding intensity in calmer moments. I used to send some of the first tracks in roulettes more often (Oncoming Dark - Through the Glass - Cinnamon Balls) because they are basically one track and flow really well. The album doesn't pause anywhere, all the tracks are connected, both lyrically and musically, and they follow a story that's pretty gross and intense. It's honestly a top 10 album of all time for me, because of the way it grabs hold of you and doesn't let go until the final moments in the last tracks. I can definitely recommend it, but the growling to singing ratio is about 60%-40%.
What you could also try is their second album, called 'A Year With no Summer' which features basically no growls at all, but more like shouted vocals (idk how to explain) and the album is more aggressive not in a riff-based way like Mantiis is, but more atmospherically - actually a bit like the middle part in Last of the Light. It's more layered and dense and borders on post-metal with the way they use textured sounds to create atmosphere. Definitely a very interesting band - I'm very curious what they're doing with their third album.
Then there's the weird electronic remixes as well which you found; this is another thing the band does. I'm not too fond of the remixes myself, but the one for Last of the Light (coincidence?) is actually very good too :)
-
Naturally I'm disappointed, but not entirely surprised.
-
I hate not putting this one higher,
Tell me about it! :D
-
I had a feeling mine would be one of the lower ones but no regrets as that song means everything to me. Will send by this evening. :biggrin: Poor jingle, that song alone made me a Saga fan :)
Edit: sent already, hopefully this is one Lethean enjoys a lot.
-
Well, how about that. I got a first place (tie with Parama of course) finish!
Where do I go from here? I'll have something sent to you soon. You have so many holes that I want to fill :neverusethis:
-
Send me a song.
-
Puppies, Elite and Parama don't seem so confident about me liking whole albums; how's the album Anesthesia is on?
-
I'm on vacation this week, so Kattelox is going to be your hangman host. The 4 of you who haven't sent yet, PM him as well as me please. If you send in the next hour and a half, your song will get listened to in the car, on full volume, while I'm in a good mood.... Just sayin.
Kattelox's hosting powers only extend to hangman, so don't let him mess with you. :P

This got a full Laugh Out Loud reaction from me. Your comedic timing is impeccable. And I have to sig that.

i sent a song by an artist
-
I sent a song that Lethean warned me he may not like... :corn
-
Man, glad you enjoyed it! That's indeed some very intense stuff, one of the most intense songs I know, possibly. I'm on vacation currently, but I'll try to find you a tune tonight as I just got home and have some time off.
-
Then there were two. Stadler and Sacul, who seem to be competing with each other for who's going to send last...
-
it's always dacul

dacul had dent now!

Not waiting on me. I sent mine in.

Oh Mr. Firewings, bring on the Hanmanenenenenenenenenenpenisennenenenennenenennenennenneeen!!

Nobody read Lethean's post and PMed me with their picks so I'm waiting for Lethean to tell me because I have the others already. :lol

john cage them until they send correctly

I'll do a couple letters tonight but I'm going to bed soon. IMO Lethean has some damn good music to listen to all around for this one.

Good to see The Road of Bones not doing too well, now I can just stop caring about my overall score and send all kinds of stuff in the second half of this roulette. :)
I'm going to guess one song and leave it at that, so other people could play in this too.

That Orphaned Land song is amazing and I'm genuinely surprised Lethean isn't already familiar with it. Wouldn't be surprised if it wins the round. My bad, didn't catch Puppies' edit with the guess the first time.
-
Nice, will definitely check it out!
-
I mean, let's do Q to reveal the second band, and the song title should be pretty obvious too.
Q
-
oh yeah Queen sent by Stads huh
Gimme H
-
Well screw Q then, let's do S to reveal Sufjan Stevens.
Oh wait. :biggrin:

Nice, will definitely check it out!
What do you mean? You sent it!
(It didn’t win the round in mine :neverusethis: )

Innuendo! You know what Stadler? You may not have won me over with The Prophet's Song in my roulette, but I started venturing into Queen a little bit after the roulette and Innuendo was one of the songs that I loved instantly, so you may not have done well, but in a way you won me over indirectly. :metal

also ev sent airbag and elite sent Agent Fresco

Stadler didn't send Queen, but I'm sure he'll appreciate the praise nonetheless. :lol

Why thank you! I could have sent Innuendo, in the sense that it is one of my top ten favorite Queen songs (along with The Prophets Song). I'm glad you liked it!!

Dyssidia - An Absolute Severance
I can find very little info on this band so I guess puppies sent them? :neverusethis:

Or mayb not
My Famed Disappearing Act is easily their best song though

In my defense I've been unusually busy today and fucked up my leg this morning so I've not been paying the best attention, but I was definitely drinking last night :hat :lol
Edited to include Train, I totally missed that post.

Puppies is a Season of Mist kinda guy right? Maybe he sent Vulture Industries then? Though honestly Vulture Industries are a band that make me go 'why the fuck are they on Season of Mist?' they have so little in common with most of their roster.
It's ok dude, we all fuck up hangmen at some point in our roulette careers :lol

Oh yeah I keep forgetting it's Prophets without the apostrophe :lol
I will probably post my thoughts in the album listen thread when I give it a listen
-

Really? Well they have a lot in common with at least one band on the roster...
-
Holy shit just looking at this list, what a round :hefdaddy
Super preliminary only listened to some songs once thoughts: Round 3 was better.
-
Well yeah it's hard to follow up the Hirsch Effekt since they're so damn good :neverusethis:
But I mean, TYS rule too, 10 points instantly eliminated from the roulette
-
I love sending bands where everyone automatically thinks "Stadler!".
-
That's usually the kiss of death. :lol
-
That's usually the kiss of death. :lol
Great idea.... Dokken next round!
-
That's usually the kiss of death. :lol

Nah..Night Ranger..

I saw Dokken and Night Ranger at a summer fair. They both sucked.
Not even Vanden Plas could make Dokken sound good, but at least I liked the vocals on the cover they did.
-
I'm back!
Good to see The Road of Bones not doing too well, now I can just stop caring about my overall score and send all kinds of stuff in the second half of this roulette. :)
Not so fast. IQ did well - better than half the songs in a round where I enjoyed pretty much every song. Sometimes I still think I should've given it a 4 (sometimes I think that about Stadler's song too). We're still in the early stages, and anything can happen. I thought jingle was going to be one of the front runners until he decided to start on his path of self destruction. :P

Compared to Winger, sure.
-
All the hate.
-
So hateful.
-
I would strongly advise avoiding the bands mentioned on this page. In general, I'd advise against bands that have a great guitar player that guitar players love, and yet suck.
(Of course, if they don't have a great guitar player but also suck, I wouldn't send those either...)
-
so, don't send dream theater? :neverusethis:
-
::)
BTW, now that I'm hosting a roulette and have 5 more songs that are near and dear to your heart to score, Stadler, do you want to share your opinion about Grace Under Pressure again? I bet on the 2112th listen, it finally clicked for you, didn't it?

I coulda been a contender!
Meh... whatevs. It's not often I get to expose people to the glorious music of the 70s and 80s. In hindsight, The Rain Song or No Quarter might've been better Zeppelin choices.
How many rounds is this thing going again? I might run the 2nd half with more appropriate modern prog-metal.

Infinity rounds.

p/g is a wasted opportunity for one of my favorite bands, and a low point in the catalogue.

The titles sound very familiar, so I've probably heard those two and you would have had to resend.

Stadler, I'm sure you've waxed poetically on this claim before. Perhaps someone can link me to this discussion.
Or Stadler, perhaps you could run through Grace Under Pressure compared to the whole Signals through Presto era. Seriously.

I can save you the trouble. He's wrong.

it's in the "Dirk, Lexst, Pratt" whatever-the-f*** that thread is called (their names are Geddy, Alex and Neil!) about four times.
I got into Rush with Power Windows. Marathon and Manhatten Project; woof! Saw them live and LOVED it. So I went back and got Moving Pictures. Loved it then, love it now, still think Tom Sawyer is one of the greatest songs of all time ever by any band. Signals next. Blown away. Subdivisions. That drum fill (you know the one I mean; it ends the intro to Subdivisions and segues into the first verse. The Analog Kid (I've written about that before; the boy lying in the grass with one blade stuck between his teeth is me as a kid). New World Man! LOSING IT! Fucking RUSH, man!! Then...
p/g. Wow. That sound you hear is the air coming out of the balloon. WTF. When did Andy Summers join Rush? Who sabotaged Neil's drums/forced him at gun point to use those stop-sign thingies that Bill Bruford was using? That fill on Red Sector A just before the "I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gates..." section sounds like it was sampled from an Atari game. Or that stupid song by Naked Eyes. It was pretty decent live, too, so what happened??
Really liked Hold Your Fire (the melodies rule, and that bass line on "Prime Mover"!!). Presto is a top five Rush album for me. I LOVE that record. Even the songs that others despise, like "Superconductor". Excellent stuff. "...Pressure" is like a pothole on Interstate Rush to me.
-
Well, you're right about Power Windows, so your head is at least mostly screwed on right :) :)
-
Still doesn't make him any less wrong about Grace Under Pressure.

Puppies, Elite and Parama don't seem so confident about me liking whole albums; how's the album Anesthesia is on?
I just noticed you asked me this question a couple days ago.
The album on a whole has 2 songs that I don't really care for. Fortunately they are both short and don't really ruin the flow of the album too much. The rest of the album is pretty much on the same level as Anesthesia, just not quite as perfect.

If you wanted to dive deeper in to Type O Negative I would actually start with the October Rust album. It's a little more varied and a little more consistent as a whole. Then I would go on to Life Is Killing Me. After that I would try World Coming Down, which is a quite a bit more challenging and a lot more depressing, but really really good still. Their other albums are not quite as good, with Bloody Kisses and Dead Again being the best of the rest. They both still have some really good tracks, but aren't as consistent.
Edit: Whoops, thought I hit modify, apparently I quoted myself instead.... :lol
-
Thanks! I will definitely be checking them out at some point, and now it sounds like I have a good place to start.
Scoring is probably going to be too stressful while on vacation. Maybe I should give everyone a participation trophy this round... (I know Stadler will be a big fan of that idea).
-
I disagree if only because I feel like mine would actually be one of the best received (at least I think) for a change :lol
-
Oh, do you really think so?
-
I can dream... :lol
-
:corn
-
No matter what the score I won't really have regrets tbh, I was 100% sure that I was going to send The Cave at some point regardless :corn because it's an ok song
-
:corn

Results not till Sunday night at the earliest, but probably not until Monday.
Some snippets for now - not necessarily well thought out snippets that will appear in the write up.
1. Lethean is getting tired of harsh vocals
2. My favorite Arcturus singer is cold.
3. Probably the best song I have heard from this band, although I don't like all of it
4. Didn't like the vocals at first, still not my favorite, but can't get this song out of my head
5. Beautiful
6. Wow, this is a pleasant surprise
7. This track is probably not going to be ranked as high as it deserves
8. When I have this song in my head, it's with someone else's voice
9. It's probably just me, but sometimes this song seems so serious that it makes me want to laugh
10. After the second or third listen, I was afraid I'd heard this song before. I can't be sure though.
-
I suppose mine could be any of them but the first 2...
-
I suppose mine could be any of them but the first 2...
Ditto. Pretty sure I can scratch off 9 and 10 as well.
My gut says Innuendo is getting the #3 treatment.
-
I'm definitely 7, as usual.
-
#2 is probably me since Vulture Industries sounds so much like Arcturus (which makes sense because I think they started off as a tribute to them). Not sure what the 'cold' means though - could be how dark the lyrics are?

Yes. Fibre. Like Brett.

Hope that popcorn is tasty. Help yourselves to seconds...

Supplies are running low. Katt has resorted to eating his own hands. We need results STAT!
-
You shouldn't have posted about Threshold then.. :p
On a plane, so no results for quite some time. Hopefully before I go to bed, but that could be another 7 hours or so.
-
Round 4 results. I'm sorry if the write ups are a little sparse this time, but I'm beat. Please excuse any typos and correct me if any of my math is wrong. Now send for round 5 so I have all of the songs when I wake up. :P
The theme of this round was "bands that remind me of other bands." Sometimes this bothered me, but I generally liked those songs better than the others anyway, so they're getting the higher rankings. I initially thought round 3 was stronger than this round, and I still do, but the songs this round did grow on me and I liked most of them more than I thought I would.
10. Sufjan Stevens - John Wayne Gacy, Jr.
Sent by Sacul
So, I don't know if this is just a problem that I have, but sometimes when listening to this track, I'd start to laugh. Not because it was so bad that it was laughable - nothing like that. It just seemed so serious, and of course it is, but maybe it's the way it was presented. I can't say that if the lyrics were about something else completely that I'd have ranked this any higher, but then maybe I would have. It seems like a good song, but just one that I had a hard time connecting with.
9. Ozzy Osbourne - Tonight
Sent by Stadler
After listening to this one a couple times, I started to wonder if I’d heard it before, but it was only the chorus that felt familiar. I decided that if I wasn't sure, it was fair to keep. I have to admit to feeling guilty when I get a write up like this one, and hopeful comments about the snippets, only for the song to end up with a low score. I'm not a huge fan of Ozzy's voice but I don't hate it either. The song isn't bad, but mostly just didn't resonate with me. I did really enjoy that fade out solo, and found myself increasing the volume each time so I could hear as much of it as possible.
8. Orphaned Land - The Cave
Sent by Train of Naught
I feel like Orphaned Land deserves a better score from me, but for some reason they never clicked. I’ve seen them live a few times, and wasn't into it until last year, when I was surprised to finally enjoy their set the whole way through. Because of that, I thought something from this new album might hit the spot, but I don't know. I like it in parts, and wonder if perhaps this is one that would need a bit more time to grow on me, or if Orphaned Land is just going to be one of those bands that I can appreciate but not really get into.
7. Queen - Innuendo
Sent by jingle.boy
This is the best track I’ve heard from Queen. (The other one you sent wasn't my cup of tea at all). I really like the first half, and also some parts towards the end. I'm not a fan of their trademark show tune/operatic sounding vocals, and I don't like everything he does with his voice, so this song was both hit and miss for me.
5. Dyssidia - An Absolute Severance
Hmm. I pretty much hated the harsh vocals on this one. It's at the beginning, towards the end, and there's a couple random growls that sound like someone throwing up. On the other hand, I *loved* (loved loved loved) the clean vocals. If the whole song had harsh vocals it would be last, and if it was all clean vocals it would possibly be first, definitely second. Therefore, I guess it gets a 5, because I don't know what else to do with it.
5. Deftones - Digital Bath
Sent by Puppies on Acid
This was a very pleasant surprise. I saw them live once, and they sounded like a nu metal band with somewhat whiny nu metal vocals. This song is nothing like that at all. It has a really nice atmosphere and nice build up. And the vocals are nice too.
4. Vulture Industries - Blood Don't Flow Streamlined
Sent by Kattelox
I guess Arcturus must be flattered. :P This is a little over the top with the influences, and the singer seems to be trying to channel Garm (who I felt a little tired of after that Ulver track, and my favorite Arcturus singer is Simen Hestnaes anyway). Nonetheless, it's a really good song and I enjoyed listening to it.
3. Thank You Scientist - My Famed Disappearing Act
Sent by Parama
This band was recommended to me at Rosfest as a band that has more energy, so I've been meaning to check them out. I didn't care for the vocals at first, and the verdict is still out really, but I did have this song in my head a lot over the last week. I could sometimes do without the sax and trumpet, and wonder if it would bug me on a whole album. When I did bother me however, I just focused on the guitar playing anyway and there's some really nice stuff going on there.
2. Airbag - Broken
Sent by Evermind
This song is beautiful. I listened to it once during round 3 and didn't really have much of an opinion about it; it was nice but I didn't see it scoring this high. Once I started the round, it started to grow on me and I liked it more each time. I've asked myself why I like this one so much when, for example, the beginning of the IQ song dragged a bit for me, and I can't really answer that. I just enjoy it; it doesn't make me think of "sleepy" prog, maybe the singer's voice is just a liiiitle bit more engaging.
1. Agent Fresco - See Hell
Sent by Elite
This was round leader the first time I heard it and never relinquished the top spot. Reminds me of Leprous to the extent where it's Einar's voice that I hear when I have this song in my head. It should bother me, but it's soooo good. It doesn't quite have the heaviness of even Leprous' lighter songs, but there's a lot to enjoy instrumentally and the vocal melodies are awesome (and Leprousy).
Parama: 5 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 10
Elite: 1 + 10 + 4 + 1 = 16
Train of Naught: 3 + 4 + 3 + 8 = 18
Evermind: 6 + 6 + 5 + 2 = 19
Puppies on Acid: 7 + 8 + 1 + 5 = 21
Kattlelox: 4 + 7 + 8 + 4 = 23
TAC: 9 + 3 + 7 + 5 = 24
Stadler: 8 + 2 + 6 + 9 = 25
jingle.boy: 2 + 9 + 10 + 7 = 28
Sacul: 10 + 5 + 9 + 10 = 34

tbh i'm considering dropping out bcuz i don't have time/interest picking out submissions for this roulette right now, if i don't send you something today just assume i'm not going to bcuz i dunno. all the stuff i normally send is too extreme for you mostly :lol
this post is incredibly funny in hindsight
i think i already had picked out something for the next round of this roulette & then forgot to write it down so let's see if i remember what it was
-
Well shit, now I'll have to send something serious again. :lol
-
Considering some of the green bands in your banned list, I'm honestly not surprised that Agent Fresco won the round :lol glad you liked them, be sure to check out both of their albums! Also, are you in Europe? They're touring with Leprous this fall. Last year it was amazing, I expect nothing less of both of them this year :)
-
Well, I'm trending in the right direction at least!
As much fun as it is to send these classic/great songs (despite our hosts opinion of them), it's clearly not hitting the mark with him, and not really fair to send things that are almost assured not to be enjoyed or appreciated. Time to go back to the modern stuff. :sadpanda: for me.
:metal for Lethean.
-
Hmm.. I'll take the 5 for that.
If you can get through those vocals, musically it's awesome.
Anyway, I also have an old Classic song that I've been considering.
-

Not bad considering I've never even listened to that whole VI album :biggrin:
Back to sending bands I love. Will send tonight. EDIT: Nope, just decided to send right before work. Had to get this out of the way.
-
Ended skipping the Classic Rock for now. I think Lethean would like it though.
Anyway, sent a TAC Roulette Classic instead.
-
Damn, guess that was stubborn of me to take a risk with one of the d bands on the banned list :'(
Sending now

F*** me, I guess I'm going this route as well. Grrrrrr...
-
Stadler, I'm not surprised Tonight didn't do well. I know you love the song, but there are so many better songs to choose from. Plus, in my experience, Ozzy is so iconic and well known that if he is not on the banned list, there's a reason for it.

Ozzy is A lot of 70s/80s bands that are so iconic and well known that if he is not on the banned list, there's a reason for it.
Fix'd. It's like one Roulette host said to me in response to a 70s submission I had
"Do you know that feeling when everybody loves a movie but you can’t get around seeing it.. and when you do, it is too late… you just don’t like it…
That’s pretty much how I feel about this song"
I'm thinking that classic just ain't for Lethean.
Tastes!
-
Yeah... I was thinking what TAC said about several bands in this round. What I've heard over the years never motivated me to purchase anything from said bands, though from some I've listened to a fair amount.
However, it's not as if I hate them and certainly not as if I know their entire catalogues. That UFO song was awesome.
-
Lethean, you rate Fates Warning as a top band. Rank their albums.
-

Surprised to see Kansas not banned. I figure you're describing a band like that with this quote.
-
After VI I have absolutely nothing I'm confident Lethean will love, so it's just back to sending a few favorites and a couple bands I've warned about sending for months :lol I'm sad that Stadler and Sacul's songs didn't do well, I think they're both great. I'm surprised at Orphaned Land ranking so low too. That Agent Fresco song is great though...
-
The top 2 don't change, 3-8 might shift a little, then a drop off.
1. A Pleasant Shade of Gray
2. Disconnected
3. Theories of Flight
4. FWX
5. Inside Out
6. Darkness in a Different Light
7. Perfect Symmetry
8. Parallels
9. No Exit
10. Awaken the Guardian
11-12 Spectre Within and Night on Brocken
-
Even though you don't like the first 4, I do, and I still think that's a great ranking :2metal: Pleasantly surprised that Disconnected is #2 and FWX is #4. Good stuff.

I know very little from Kansas. 3 songs, maybe? So, the quote sort of applies in that I didn't hear Carry On My Wayward Son and think "I have to have more of this!" but it's not like I've heard a lot. That song and The Point of Know Return do have this kind of "old" feel to them. Whereas I dug the Vanden Plas cover of the latter; so it's a good song, but perhaps I prefer a different presentation.
-
Considering some of the green bands in your banned list, I'm honestly not surprised that Agent Fresco won the round :lol glad you liked them, be sure to check out both of their albums! Also, are you in Europe? They're touring with Leprous this fall. Last year it was amazing, I expect nothing less of both of them this year :)
Unfortunately not. I would definitely like to hear more from them and based on the one song, it looks like a cool tour. As for the green bands, Arcturus and Riverside are also on that list so it's not as if Agent Fresco was guaranteed #1. :P
-
Already have 6 songs this round, and we're not waiting on Stadler. :o

Okay, sent the most depressing song I have.
-
Elite, Puppies, and Sacul... :)

-
I could have sworn I sent...... Give me a minute. I know I had something lined up.

Sent!

Now we're just waiting on Sacul....

thread title shaming go
I may have to send some strange prog metal for the last few rounds instead of what you expected me to send. I remembered some 'doh!'-worthy picks last night that I have to make you aware of...
-
Just so you know, if you don't send me one particular band, I'm going to not listen to them on purpose... :P
-
Just so you know, if you don't send me one particular band, I'm going to not listen to them on purpose... :P
I listened to 3 discographies of bands you love and you won't give them one album? Shenanigans. You owe me! :biggrin: Okay, fine. But I am going to crush you under the weight of all the cheese. 20 minute submission is imminent. :lol

Um, oops. Yeah, it's only 3 more to go. If we finish round 8 with more than a week to spare before PP, then maybe a bonus round.
-
The bonus round will be me following you around ProgPower singing songs of my own choosing. :lol
-
I'm starting to think we'll both be spending PP with a search party looking for Sacul...
-
Give him 12 more hours, and if not, I'll send a Demi Lovato song in his stead.
-
Uhhh.... I think maybe I'll let someone send a track in his place...
-
just john cage him, he probably loves 4'33" anyways it's pure zancul
-
I can send something for Sacul. Our tastes are pretty close.
-
I vote for the John Cage treatment as well
-
I had to look that up. Right now it would be 4:33 of *extremely* annoying co-workers...
-
Uhhh.... I think maybe I'll let someone send a track in his place...
Why? I have no doubt that the Lovato tune would score higher than mine anyway, so I thought it to be fair. :)

The only 2 tunes I've heard would not be scoring higher than any of the 10s in rounds 1-4..
-
obviously the solution is to send miley cyrus or selena gomez instead
-
I'm going to send a Kenny Rogers song if Sacul doesn't pipe up. That's a promise, not a threat.
-
"Islands In The Stream" with Dolly Parton. That's a sure-fire winner! Lethean will LOVE you!
-
"Islands In The Stream" with Dolly Parton. That's a sure-fire winner! Lethean will LOVE you!
Honestly? I like that song. Good pick. :)
-
Didn't Fates Warning cover that?
-
I think Fates' song is an original. :)
Sacul, please hurry up before Stadler suggests a track off the latest Altressa Cox-Blackwell solo album, created while sitting behind her desk at her cushy government job.
-
just start without him geez :lol
-
Is it possible for Sacul to not submit a track and still score better than Stadler?
-
Parama - trust me, the listening began as soon as I had the first track. We can do hangman tonight if he still hasn't sent
TAC - hmm, if Stadler's track is particularly heinous, I suppose I could give him the 10 and Sacul's 4:33 the 9...
-
hang
man
-
Is it possible for Sacul to not submit a track and still score better than Stadler?
Trust me, it's possible. I finished behind Kattleox and he skipped a round.
-
:lol
-
:rollin

Alright, let's get hangman started. Maybe we need to search the floorboards at Sufjan Stevens' place to make sure Sacul isn't there.

Me neither :)
This was my writeup for it. It was sent by home, and it was tied for the 2nd best score for my Acoustic Round.
Sufjan Stevens-John Wayne Gacy Jr.
So this song really left me conflicted. First off, it's an amazing and moving song. The performance is fantastic, as is the vocals and vocals phrasing. Everything about it is perfect....except for...the lyrics. I don't know if it's because I'm older, or a parent, but I frankly found this song tough to listen through. Which is too bad because everything about this song is amazing.

That's interesting. I didn't connect with the music side as well as you did, but I did think it was good. I didn't has as tough a time as you with the lyrics in the way that you describe it above, but I did have a hard time taking the lyrics seriously, and I'm not exactly sure why that is.

Is Aquaria known for um, less than stellar, lyrics?
That song doesn't have the best lyrics, I'll admit, but they generally have pretty good lyrics in my opinion. Keep in mind both of their albums are concept albums - you don't have to pay super close attention or anything but in that context they hopefully make a little more sense. The band is definitely pure cheese but in the best way imo. Go big or go home, right? It's a very acquired/niche taste.

I just watched the video. That was just weird, dude :lol but in a good way. That's such a cool sound. I don't think it fits my definition of cheesy though - at least, it didn't come off that way to me. They manage to sell it well in the video and if that's generally what they sound like that's actually pretty cool to me.
I have no clue who sent the last three because jingle's thread has proven I'm terrible at it.

So now that the list is revealed, I just want to apologize in advance to whoever gets a 7, 8, 9, or whatever you consider too low for your song. This is going to be really tough to rank and this round is killer. Right now there are 4 songs that say "I'm #1" each time I listen to them.
Also, Stadler - since you don't know any of these songs either, but they're so good, why don't you listen to them too? It'll be fun. You can let me know if you agree with my rankings and what yours would be (besides your own of course).
-
if i'd sent oceans of slumber i'd definitely have picked winter, but then i'd have gotten last place for the bit of harsh vocals that one has :lol
i love how you specified "7, 8, 9" as if 10 was already set in stone though :corn

I'd never heard of them before; actually I've only heard of half the bands on the playlist, and one is only because of Firewings. :)
-
Just so you know, if you don't send me one particular band, I'm going to not listen to them on purpose... :P
I listened to 3 discographies of bands you love and you won't give them one album? Shenanigans. You owe me! :biggrin: Okay, fine. But I am going to crush you under the weight of all the cheese. 20 minute submission is imminent. :lol
So... your unfortunate last post in the Angra thread reminded me... you *don't* have to submit this one particular band to get me to listen to them after all. You just have to listen to Aqua, and I don't mean "try" to listen to it; listen to it with headphones while you are doing nothing else, and open your mind to the possibility that you could be wrong about it... and as part of our deal, I'll listen to a (not double) Rhapsody album. Of course, if you don't wanna do that, you can get around it by submitting a song here....
-
I will have to sacrifice that opportunity then. You know why? 'cause Aqua sucks. :lol I do not like what they do on that album. Bleh.

Yes. Progressive/power metal is probably the most accurate description, although I've heard the band members call it "progressive metal" and that's what I call them too. They also include a lot of influences from Brazilian music, which I think helps to give them a different flavor than most. And, they're pretty much at the very top as far as metal musicianship goes, imo. Probably too "happy" for you would be my guess, but you never know right? I generally don't like harsh vocals, but there are a few albums with them that I do like.

Ok, some thoughts. I feel like much of what I have to say on some of these tracks would give away which song it is, let's try this:
1. :) :metal :) :metal :) :metal
2. This track makes me want to take a second look at this band.
3. Some of the musicians on this track - :hefdaddy
4. So, um, OK… ?
5. This track reminds me of that Skussgjá track, even though it doesn't sound like it at all.
6. :metal :metal :metal :metal :metal
7. I almost want to say this singer is in the wrong genre of music, but that's probably ridiculous. It's just that I don't like their voice.
8. This is a really nice track that puts me in a good, relaxed mood.
9. I feel like this band would fit right in on that Leprous and Agent Fresco tour.
10. I both like and dislike the singer in the track.

We already had that Aqua - headphone deal in place - but maybe I could be convinced to switch it out for a different album instead. Hmm...

Let's see... 19 Rush albums, 12 Fates Warning albums, 8 Threshold albums, the whole Vanden Plas discography or just some? probably 3 Leprous? Unless you've heard a couple more. Not sure how far you've gone with Katatonia. Oh yeah, Bittencourt Project. So... you're welcome. :)

And I bought every Rush album (sans Feedback), 1 Fates Warning so far, 1 Vanden Plas (out of the 3 I've heard), and Coal is on my next-to-order list (out of the 3 I've heard). I own 2 Katatonia albums but don't like them enough to dive into their back catalogue yet (too depressing too often). And I bought Bittencourt earlier this year. And I listened to 10 in my roulette! Listen to something I suggest, dang it (https://i.imgur.com/xyAzMZR.gif) :lol
... or not, I found good music either way (https://i.imgur.com/wHa3dNC.gif)
I'm just giving you shit - you don't have to listen to Rhapsody if you don't want to lol

Are you done editing or should I wait a few more minutes? :)

I am done. I had to make sure I wasn't coming off like a whiny baby :lol

I really want mine be #1, since it slides effortlessly (three times to be precise) between mellow and metal.

I am done. I had to make sure I wasn't coming off like a whiny baby :lol
:lol You weren't. :) What's the other Katatonia album besides The Fall of Hearts, by the way?
The roulette doesn't count - you listened to 10 albums by everyone there.
Now, to the rest, this is a very interesting philosophical conversation. You seem to think that I owe you and that you were doing me a favor by listening to all those albums, and that's fair enough... However - your friend listening to a band you like vs not listening to a band you like - it kinda sucks if they don't, but sometimes that's the way it goes. Compare that to: you dwelling in darkness with no Rush for your entire existence vs stepping into the available light and having the rest of your life immeasurably improved because of albums like Power Windows and Stadler's personal favorite, Grace Under Pressure.... well, I again say you're welcome, and who's done who the favor? ;)
In all seriousness, of course I will listen to a Rhapsody album.

Here goes! This was the best round of the roulette so far, so, there will be ties. I enjoyed 9 of the 10 tracks, and pretty much all of these tracks, except the top ones of course, would have scored higher in the last round; this round was just that good. Most of you were wrong in your snippet guesses though. :)
10. Steam Powered Giraffe - Brass Goggles
Sent by Evermind
So, um, OK… ? I'm not even sure what to say about this one. I can say with 100% certainly that I did *not* see this coming, so I guess there's that. 😊 You described it as the midpoint of the novel, so, I'm looking forward to the second half which will hopefully sound nothing like the midpoint. For the rest of you - whoever was picking on Sacul - how did you not know that this was going to be the 10? Am I living on a different planet than everyone else?
7. Converge - Phoenix in Flight
Sent by Sacul
So - why did everyone think I was going to hate this? There's nothing wrong with it. If the vocals are harsh you can barely hear them anyway, and they fit really well with the wall of sound that this track is. It's really intense, but there's a nice part in the middle that, while not really sacrificing the intensity, helps make it a little more melodic. I like it. Now, I wondered if perhaps the other Phoenix track was supposed to go hand in hand with this one, so I listened to it, and no. I mean that track would still have had its work cut out for it to steal the #10 from the giraffe band…But Phoenix in Flight, standing alone from whatever else might be on the album, is intense and interesting. I liked it, and if the album has more like it rather than the 2nd Phoenix track, I'm intrigued. It's not scoring higher because (see the beginning of this post).
7. Echoes - Rude Awakening
Sent by jingle.boy
OK, so, I hate doing this - only giving a 7 when I like this better than everything you sent besides Soul Secret. I like the music on this track, a lot. That piano part right at the beginning sets the tone and brings a smile to my face. But I don't like that singer. I almost want to say that he's in the wrong genre, because I imagine him chain smoking somewhere with a drink in his hand slurring his words and singing something that I don't like. But that's probably ridiculous; it's just that I don't like his voice. "This place is a mess" and "there's other people involved" are examples of what I mean. I don't mind him so much when he goes a little higher, but even then, there's some of that quality that's still there. I didn't think to listen to another song of theirs until yesterday, and it has a different singer who I liked much more. If I'd done that right away, I would have offered you to switch. Don't get me wrong - I like the song. This round is just so good. Last round, same singer, this still would probably have scored 4 or 5. This round, with the singer from the other song - I can't say for sure where it would have landed because I love all the other songs too, but maybe it would have been higher.
6. Ocoai - Breatherman
Sent by Puppies
Good detective work on narrowing down the snippets. :) This is a really nice track that puts me in a good, relaxed mood. I don't listen to much instrumental music, but I'm not opposed to it either. This track seems to flow really nicely, has beautiful melodies, and I know you mentioned it's length, but I think that's actually a strong point. It lets you settle in and become immersed in it. Technically, I should jump to 7 in the scoring, but I'm not going to because it's my roulette and I don't wanna. 😊
5. Bent Knee - Being Human
Sent by Parama
Let me first just say that this track is great, and it wasn't a misstep or anything like that. If you'd sent it last round instead of Thank You Scientist, you would have gotten the same score. I just really like (almost) all of the songs this round and the top 4 just really grabbed me and didn't let go. I will say that I both like and dislike the singer in the track. I'm not into the beginning vocals so much, but like it when she lets loose later on. I hadn't heard of Bent Knee prior to their being announced for the Leprous tour, and I will definitely get there in time to catch their set.
5. Oceans of Slumber - A Path to Broken Stars
Sent by Elite
I saw this band open for Evergrey and found them to be a mixed bag. Some potential, but I didn’t walk away with the intention of checking them out. This song makes me want to take another look. It's really beautiful. It's one of those songs that seem very sad, but don't depress me or make me feel sad; rather, it's uplifting in an odd way. Now I'm looking forward to their set at ProgPower this year.
3. O'Brother - Deconstruct
Sent by Train of Naught
I'd never heard of O'Brother before, and this is one of those times where it's good not to judge a band by its name. 😊 I think this band would fit right in on that Leprous and Agent Fresco tour that Elite mentioned. They don't sound like Leprous, but it seems like they would appeal to Leprous fans. This track certainly does to me. This is one of those tracks that made me turn it up and try to sing along.
3. Aquaria - Here Comes the Life
Sent by Kattelox
If this was an actual Angra song, it might have been #1. I feel like that Thiago dude could make a way better case comparing this song to Angra than he did with I&W and ADTOE. So, that does bring it down a little bit for me because it feels like every part of the song is something Angra would have done in the order Angra would have done it. Maybe that isn't fair. At this point I think I'm so used to bands that borrow from DT that I don't care anymore, and I've listened to enough of them that they each have their own identities and I can see a distinction between them and DT and them and each other. (Plus, I've yet to find a singer that actually sounds like James). Whereas, I've never heard an Angra clone before, so it makes me way more uncomfortable. Having said that - it's a great song. I love what Angra does, and if you're going to go for it, at least do it well, and in that respect, Aquaria knocked it out of the park. I couldn't help smiling at times. This was the :) :metal :) :metal :) :metal song. I'd say maybe sometimes the keyboard sound is a little weak (but Angra has that problem too), and I would also say that the guitars aren't quite up to Kiko and Rafael, but the song itself is awesome. I in fact did not read the lyrics to pick them apart, so if there's cheese, I'm still blissfully unaware. You wanted to swap this song out, but at that time I'd already heard it and wanted to enjoy listening to it for the rest of the round. I haven't listened to the alternate song, but if it would have scored high than a 3 in this round, then I'll listen to a Toto album or something as penance.
2. Iris Divine - In the Wake of Martyrs
Sent by TAC
This was the :metal :metal :metal :metal song. Every time I played this song I kept turning it up and up. It made me want to bang on some drums or something, and I'm not a drummer. It made me want to drive faster. Brief harsh vocals at the beginning, but this wasn't at all a problem like it was with the Dyssidia track. I like the clean vocals a lot, and I enjoyed that break down part a little over halfway in. I don't have as much to say about this one as some of the others, except :metal :metal :metal :metal I hope the score makes up for it.
1. Jane's Addiction - Three Days
Sent by Stadler
I don't think anyone saw this one coming, including me. But this song is *fantastic*. No one claimed the snippet about the musicians, but this is the one. I know I go on and on about singers, and jingle might think I've lost my mind. I do think Perry Farrell is kinda bad. However - there's a certain, charm, maybe, to his voice, that just seems to work. He's really annoying on Been Caught Stealing, but I've always liked Jane Says. Also, since Stadler didn't provide me with a link, I decided to listen to both the album version and a live version during my listening, and he kind of sounds better live. Everyone else? OMG. The bass line that opens the song is soooo cool, and he's great throughout the song. The drummer - also great. And that guitar solo is :hefdaddy. If he wasn't influenced by Rush, I'd be surprised. Maybe the drummer too. And yet, this song doesn't at all sound like a song that Rush would have released. I just get these hints of influence and maybe that’s only because I almost want to hear it. Anyway. I always had an idea that this band was good and heard some live material in the past that seemed good, but I had no idea they were this good.

I think Stadler's gonna be very happy :biggrin:
I'm glad you liked that song, 3rd place was unexpected. Yeah, that song isn't the best use of keyboards and guitars, yet as a whole I think it's just a great song with loads of positive energy and it is rather representative of their energy and style. On that same album they have prog metal, symphonic stuff, a drum-less acoustic ballad with flutes and bells, and more. They directly reference Angels Cry but it's only a couple seconds long. I think you'd really enjoy exploring both of their albums someday given your passion for Angra, they're the only other South American band I've ever heard that can go toe to toe with them, for my taste at least.

1. Jane's Addiction - Three Days
Sent by Stadler
And that guitar solo is :hefdaddy. If he wasn't influenced by Rush, I'd be surprised. Maybe the drummer too.
Hang on, I'm running out to get lottery tickets, be right back...
I think very, very highly of Dave Navarro's guitar playing. He is, in my view, way underrated as a player. The tag line for Jane's Addiction is that Dave and Stephen (the drummer) are the metalheads - both being very into Zeppelin, Maiden, Hendrix - and Perry (the singer) and Eric (the bass player) were very into the goth scene - both being into Bauhaus, X, that kind of stuff. That's overly simplistic, but even Perry and Eric will tell you that Dave and Stephen are far superior musicians to the them and "carry" the musical water in the band (that led to some of the early conflict in the band, since it is sort of Perry's band, but he's the least "classically" skilled of them, musically).
It might interest you, but I saw Jane's a year or so ago at a festival and got pit tickets. I kind of hung around the fringe of the pit, but during "Three Days" I forced my way up to the front (yes, I know, dick move, but I made it clear what I was doing) and made sure I was right in front of Dave for the "Erotic Jesus" part (that's when the guitar kicks in with that heavy descending riff). He was wearing a pair of black leather overalls, but with the top off, and a black hat and black boots, and when he played that for the first time he came up and put his foot on the monitor and let it fly, and it was so over the top rockstar, plus the volume was on like 11, it was a real concert moment.
And yes, Perry is usually better live, because his voice integrates better with the music.
-
A few write ups lately have mentioned The Dear Hunter, but no one has sent them. Train mentioned that O'Brother was compared to them except without the circus stuff. I'm going to do everyone a favor - OK I'm going to do myself a favor - and just tell everyone now that if you do send TDH, send a non-circus/carnival/marching song, por favor. Also, whatever they played when they toured with Leprous is banned.
-
Lethean, the song I initially sent before swapping - that will be my round 7 pick, unless I want to pick something else from that same album instead. And I know what my last round will be. It was tough because there's still so much more I want to show you, but that will have to wait for roulette #2 ;)
-
Before swapping with the song you tried to swap last time? :) Just so I'm clear, the you send in round 5 is what I should be listening to now, right? (already listened once). The one you sent last night - save for round 7.

I've never heard of Bauhaus or X. Perry's voice almost sounds like he's more in control of it live, if that makes any sense. I'm going from the Kettle Whistle version on that. It looks like they don't have many albums. They're a band I've heard of and knew 2 songs, but never knew anything about them as far as drama or breakups. Which could be for the best. As for the live show, it sounds like fun, but I bet that solo would sound just as good if he was wearing a t-shirt and jeans. :P

"Classic Jane's", meaning before people got sober, and blah blah blah, there's just two traditional "studio" records, "Nothing Shocking" and "Ritual de lo Habitual".
I mean this sincerely, but I'm surprised you don't know "Bauhaus". They're a pretty influential band, and Peter Murphy (vocals) and Daniel Ash (guitar) are both pretty influential.
As for the concert, you're 100% right, but it was just so... of the moment. It's what a lot of guys shoot for and fail at miserably, and Dave just crushed it. He's a REALLY good guitar player.

I still need 4 songs for round 6. :)
And I'm still curious why everyone thought I would hate Sacul's song so much.
-
I don't even like converge
Though that song is kinda fine I guess, I barely remember it though
-
And I'm still curious why everyone thought I would hate Sacul's song so much.
I actually was planning to respond to that in my first comment after the results but apparently I deleted that part :lol
Phoenix in Flight is actually a fairly good pick, I thought for some reason he had sent Phoenix in Flames, which is the sub 1 minute followup where you get to see more of the heavy balls to the wall side of Converge. They just have some of the most inhumane sounding vocals out there, and I strongly believe the reason most people don't like growls is because they don't sound humane, so the further vocalists stray away from that sound, the less likely I think it is that people would enjoy them.
I also just think metalcore is generally not something a lot of prog fans enjoy, but Converge seems to be one of the exceptions among the prog fans I know in person.
One of the most interesting songs Converge has put out was on their last album, the title track of "The Dusk In Us". It's very cool because on this one they build super slowly and there's a very gloomy atmosphere, opposed to the usual fast riffs and intense vocals.
-
I did listen to Phoenix in Flames too and you would be correct that I didn't like the vocals. :) I don't know if it's because they don't sound human - that's something to think about. Your description of The Dusk in Us sounds interesting and I'll check it out. The super fast riffing (and drumming) plus harsh vocals is definitely not a good combo for me, but the slow gloomy build up sounds cool.

Also, I still need two songs...

Did you listen to it with headphones, lying on your bed, doing nothing else at the time (aside from maybe reading the lyrics)?
No, for several reasons (I don't like to sit around doing nothing but having music playing, it makes me anxious, and I focus on music better when I multitask anyway, but I absolutely refuse to do that for albums I've already heard and know I dislike). Beyond that, the production is total ass. The name of the album is Aqua for Christ's sake yet the production is dryer than a popcorn fart. There are some questionable songwriting decisions and lord don't even get me started on how god awful Edu Falaschi sounds - he only went downhill from Temple of Shadows and not even studio magic makes him sound good here. Felipe's bass playing on Rage of the Waters is the best thing about this album. Are you convinced yet that I cannot stand this album? 'cause you should be. There's not a single song here I want on my Angra playlist. Not one. Also, Confessori's drumming just stinks on ice.
Okay, whew, I got that out of my system... mostly. Carry on with the roulette. I will continue pretending Aqua doesn't exist. :hat

No
Alrighty then.
-
Has that convinced you to stop pushing that album on me? Good! Finally. :biggrin:
-
I haven't brought up that album since we discussed it in the Secret Garden thread, where you said you'd do exactly that in exchange for Rhapsody. You're the one feeling the need to discuss it, perhaps because in some deep part of your subconscious you know that you're missing out...
-
Only discussing it so you finally understand I will never enjoy that album, and because I just looked at that thread and there are NO stipulations that I had to listen to it in solitude, with headphones, etc. and I listened to it twice, so now you definitely owe me, no way out of this now, my friend. Neener neener :loser: :lol
-
I didn't say solitude, but I definitely said headphones. And an open mind, while you're just looking for confirmation of your existing hate. Also, anyone who doesn't like Lease of Life, well, probably doesn't deserve a good score in this roulette. I'm kidding. Or am I?
However, I did already agree to release you from that part of the contract and listen to a Rhapsody album, but, I haven't torn up the contract yet either... So you could quit while you're ahead, and do me a favor and get Sacul and Elite to send me a song, or you could keep going....
-
Lethean is just a pretty barbie girl and wants the world to know
-
There are few things I truly hate in life, and Aqua is not one of them (strongly dislike =/= hate). Pineapple on pizza, cabbage, and people who drive slow in the left lane. Aqua is merely a nuisance in comparison. And I did listen with an open mind. Deal with it :neverusethis:
Saculite, I demand thee come forth and submit.
-
Back half of saculite here; I’ll submit soon, but no later than within 5 hours. Not home at the moment.

I hope you were happy that I wasn't talking about your song with the vocals in the last round (and the thought never occurred to me with that song either). :P
-
Absolutely! I mean, I would understand why you would say that, because she has this slight gospel sound to her voice, but I think her voice is gorgeous and works surprisingly well with the music.

Arguably my favorite discovery of my roulette was that album because as I've dived into them, it's been consistently high quality with every song. Cheers Chad :hefdaddy

This is going to be another tough round to score, but I already know what #9 and 10 are. There's also a front runner that just emerged today.

Listening to the #9 song now, and it's actually quite good... not sure if that means it'll move up though.

*looks at clipping. song in the list of submissions*
To be fair though, I listened to that tune and it's seriously fucking cool. I won't go and claim that Lethean will hate it again cause I was proven wrong with Converge last round :lol definitely going to look further into this artist
-
This is going to be another hard to score round. Am I the only one who struggles with it so much? Next time I really should call it Lethean's participation trophy roulette, except then I'd really be afraid of what jingle and Stadler would send... ;)

Hey as long as I stay comfortably in the lead I'm fine :corn

You aren't that far ahead - if you got a 9 there are two others who could take the lead.

Not sure what you guys are talking about. ::)

Well if I didn't, if I just tried to give a song a rating on it's own like out of 5 stars or 10 stars or whatever, I'd probably just give almost everyone the same score each round. :) Plus I just don't think I'd be that good at doing star ratings like that. I have lots of "10s" even though I like some of those better than others, and that might not even make sense to people.
Also, pretty sure I know what #2 is as well.

Some thoughts:
1. Another song that takes it sweet time to get going, and perhaps also takes a little long to end. The middle is incredible though.
2. This song might have scored as you predicted, if it weren't for…
3. This track alternates between me really like it and feeling it gets a little too dramatic.
4. Actually not as bad as it could have been.
5. Really hit me in a big way the other day, and just when I was grinning like an idiot at how good it was, I realized I’d missed my exit the next one wasn't for another 5 miles. I was OK with that.
6. Better than I thought it was going to be, but still probably falls into what I've been told about certain bands: "a little too X for you."
7. A fresh take on a topic that's been covered quite a bit
8. Heavy with great vocals
9. I feel like this song is one that needs time to grow on you to really be appreciated
10. The best singer of the slower ones in this round (and it's beautiful too)

That's kind of how I did it. I listened, and gave it a number. Then I ranked them, and then adjusted. If song A got an 8 and song B got an 8, but I really liked A better than B, I adjusted. Sometimes I gave a song a 10 and others a 3 or 4, but then realized "wow, Lethean's song wasn't THAT bad, I'll bump it up". Iteration.

Dear Someone's gotta be one of these. I hope it's 5 but I bet it's 1 or 10, 1 describes it perfectly.

That's not a bad idea, although in the end I think it would be just as difficult as the way I'm doing it now. Maybe next time I should do themes, because it might make it easier if I was comparing 10 heavy songs then 10 ballads then 10 acoustic songs or something. On the other hand, I'm getting a lot in great new music, even a lot of the stuff that hasn't scored as highly as people would like, so from a pure listener's perspective, I like having it open.

I'll correct my prediction of 7. It's gotta be #8.... and hoping that means a low #d ranking.

That's a good point. I don't remember how many themes I had. I might do another roulette and have it be entirely themes.

Anneke - haven't checked out Vuur yet; didn't like the Gentle Storm, generally OK with her in studio on Ayreon but sometimes, especially live, too much vibratto
I just added Vuur to the banned list, since I'm now listened to the album after running through most of the round 6 songs twice and not getting closer to ranking some of these. :P
Vuur is wayyyyyy better than the Gentle Storm. I don't think I'm ever going to be as big of an Anneke fan as everyone else, and the vibratto thing still annoys me, but halfway through the Vuur album and it's quite good, and seems kinda different too.

Yeah, our tastes are way off from one another, then. I got halfway through the Vuur album - couldn't stand it :lol

OK, so there's really no point in dragging this out any further. I have some songs in the middle, and the song I listened to last out of them is usually the one I like best. I switch up the play list, same thing. So there will be more ties, and more funny math.
10. Clipping - story 2
Sent by Sacul
I did give you the opportunity to resend, and you didn't want to, so I hope you don't feel too bad about this score. The very very beginning always made me think I was getting an ad at first, but then a couple seconds later I realized it was the track and not a commercial. This was actually not as bad as it could have been. I appreciate very much that it was only 2 minutes long. I also appreciate that the music underneath was somewhat cool. I like the idea behind it, the way the music intensifies, and the last 15 seconds. However, I still don't like the rapping. It's just not something I've ever dug. It's never resonated with me, never moved me, never done whatever it does for other people.
9. Michael Schenker Group - Samurai
Sent by Stadler
I'm sorry Stadler. I really love Three Days and Love to Love, but this one didn't make that kind of an impact. It's better than I thought it would be from what I heard of MSG. Great guitar playing of course, I like the singer, but it still probably falls into what I've been told about certain bands: "a little too rock n roll for you."
None of the other bands are getting below a 6, because I just can't do it. I like all these songs a lot, and spent some time driving around just listening to them.
6. The Family Crest - Beneath the Brine
Sent by Train of Naught
This track alternates between me really liking it and feeling it gets a little too dramatic. That might not even be the right word for it. I really do like this song, and this was just a case of liking the other ones more. I like the strings on this a lot, and the singer has an incredible voice. Maybe sometimes he's... I know dramatic isn't what I want to say because plenty of music I listen to is dramatic, but it's something. But I love it his voice at the end when he's really going for it. Curious what their other material sounds like.
5. Brand New - Limousine
Sent by Parama
The scoring on this is kind of like what I did with Dyssidia for TAC. Except I don't hate anything here like I did the harsh vocals on that song. It's just that I think the beginning kind of takes forever, and I'm not that into his voice. However - that middle part is soooooo good. The first time I heard it, I will admit to saying "OK dude I get the point" with the repeating verse… but then, I think I didn't get the point right away because it's actually awesome. It keeps building and building and I often have the part of the song in my head. I also at first thought that the song takes a little long to end, but now I'm not so sure. Maybe it needs that long to wrap up so you can come down from the intensity of that middle part. This was definitely an interesting submission, for sure.
4. Essence of Sorrow - The Mirror
Sent by TAC
:metal Really heavy, great vocals, awesome song. Another one that I kept turning up the volume whenever I played it. It starts off dark and heavy right off the bat. I don't have a whole lot to say about this one, but sometime I just want to :metal, and when I like the singer, it works perfectly.
4. Epysode - Raven's Curse
Sent by jingle.boy
Maybe you would have received the score you predicted if it weren't for Tom Englund. :P I liked the other song you sent too, but well, it doesn't have Tom. And he sounds incredible here (note to Redemption, can we have the real Tom next time, please?) I also like Ida Haukland's voice here and the song is pretty :metal :metal. Add to that Simone from DGM and we have an awesome combination.
4. Beyond the Bridge - The Difference is Human
Sent by Evermind
I feel like this song is one that needs time to grow on you to really be appreciated. (So does the other song). Luckily, I got an early start with this song and it did just that. By the time you get to the end of this track, it's just awesome. The male vocals are OK, and I really like the female vocals here. I'd really like to check this album out, because both songs are promising after you listen to them a few times.
3. Thrice - Daedalus
Sent by Elite
This song is just gut wrenching. I'm not sure how many songs I've heard that reference Icarus, or his wings, but it's a lot. This is the first one that made me feel a true sense of loss, rather than just a romantic notion. It starts off very beautifully. I like that kind of sad guitar playing that runs through the song. I love the build up that happens before the last 2 minutes, and then in the last 2 minutes the anguish is fully unleashed.
2. Mystery - Dear Someone
Sent by Kattelox
So… why wasn't I sent this band rounds ago, jingle.boy? I thought you were saving it up for the end perhaps, and were going to murder Firewings as soon as the list was published, but you seemed unfazed. Anyway, on to the song. It's beautiful. I had 3 songs this round that I grouped together as the slower/sad songs. They're all very good, but this one has my favorite singer of the three. Also, Rushiness. No, it does not take too long to get going nor does it take to long to end, and if that's what you think, you're wrong. :P I dunno why, but I love the way he sings "beware." The guitar playing is really nice here too. Very beautiful song.
1. Children of Nova - The Complexity of Light
Sent by Puppies
I listened to this song as soon as you sent it, which is what I usually do if I'm up, checking my email, and not listening to Legends of the Shires. I thought it was cool, nothing special, and went to bed. A few days/plays later - it really hit me in a big way. Just when I was grinning like an idiot at how good it was, I realized I’d missed my exit and the next one wasn't for another 5 miles. I was OK with that. I want to hear this song live and I want to hear that singer pull it off too. The vocals on this song are fantastic. I love the rhythm section on this track; great bass and drums. I took this song, and a few others, off the playlist today so I could sort out the rankings of all the others. But that was a no go, because it demanded to be played. Awesome, intense, intricate.
Parama: 5 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 5 + 5 = 20
Elite: 1 + 10 + 4 + 1 + 5 + 3 = 24
Train of Naught: 3 + 4 + 3 + 8 + 3 + 6 = 27
Kattlelox: 4 + 7 + 8 + 4 + 3 + 2 = 28
Puppies on Acid: 7 + 8 + 1 + 5 + 6 + 1 = 28
TAC: 9 + 3 + 7 + 5 + 2 + 4 = 30
Evermind: 6 + 6 + 5 + 2 + 10 + 4 = 33
Stadler: 8 + 2 + 6 + 9 + 1 + 9 = 35
jingle.boy: 2 + 9 + 10 + 7 + 7 + 4 = 39
Sacul: 10 + 5 + 9 + 10 + 7 + 10 = 51

I should send you the EP that Evermind sent me in my roulette (along with the novel that he wrote for it :biggrin: ). It had this song on it. The whole EP is an emotional roller coaster.

the noisy outro i considered just sending you a version without that and maybe i should have, it's more an interlude than anything really but ehh :P expected better tbh but also feels are variable
i dunno what to send, maybe some crap
-
I knew that dramatic bit was going to be mine haha, too bad but glad you still liked it! Children of Nova was a mixed bag man, that EP (Complexity of Light) is absolutely superb. Unfortunately they only put out one (mediocre) album after that and then broke up, huge potential lost there :(. Second Sight Blackout is my personal favourite tune on that EP but Arcaedion and that track are close seconds/thirds.
Like I think I said in the PM, The Family Crest likes opening albums with super dramatic tunes, but they generally do more upbeat indie prog in the vein of The Dear Hunter kinda. I don't know what your overall stance is on 'happy' music but I had a feeling that I better stick with darker stuff
Sent round 7!

Seems like I shouldn't have sent Steam Powered Giraffes. :lol
Most of songs from The Old Man and the Spirit are better in context of the whole album, so yeah, check it out when you have time.

Yeah... they're all really good as standalone songs (though, Triumph of Irreality is God-tier), but as a whole, the album is just pure gold.
I'll claim moral victory on Katt's 2nd place ranking. Didn't think that pure prog-rock was quite your thing. Ok, now let's see if Katt wants to claim moral victory (or defeat) on my ranking this time.
-
I'm doing better in this roulette than I expected. I had a feeling you'd love Mystery. I highly suggest listening to that album. I really think they're a band you'll enjoy overall.
Sending today.

You're going down, buddy. GAME ON! :biggrin: Oh, and congrats Puppies. That's a damn good tune!
EDIT: Sent. Guess I finally got that monkey off my back. Round 8 will be a surprise 'wtf?' submission.

That song ruled. What have you got next? :)
3. Thrice - Daedalus
Sent by Elite
This song is just gut wrenching. I'm not sure how many songs I've heard that reference Icarus, or his wings, but it's a lot. This is the first one that made me feel a true sense of loss, rather than just a romantic notion. It starts off very beautifully. I like that kind of sad guitar playing that runs through the song. I love the build up that happens before the last 2 minutes, and then in the last 2 minutes the anguish is fully unleashed.

I thought it was a full album that Daedalus is on? Or is each Alchemy part a smaller EP?

I have no idea what to send next...I'm kind of torn between a few different songs. I was about to send you a Spheric Universe Experience song, but noticed at the last second they are on your banned list.
And my EP round was for each person to make an EP with songs from various artists based on a theme or story or style.
-
I'm still proud of that EP to be honest.

That's a cool idea. I wouldn't have time for it in this roulette, but something to keep in mind for the future.
Spheric Universe Experience's first album was really good. 2nd one was OK, but the third album was when I hopped off the train.

Well in that case I will officially proclaim: Firewings is cooler. :)
-
Firewings is the name of an Aquaria song, so, yeah, you're right, but don't talk smack about my boi Mega Man or we'll throw down. :lol
-
Why didn't you send me Firewings? Too short? Too long? Not as much variety as Here Comes the Life?
-

Nah, it's just a power ballad. I love it, but it's not something I think is a good introduction to the group. The speedy stuff is, particularly from the first album, which I've sent in every roulette so far except Sacul's.

It's my fav since it's got pretty unique lore and style, and played the hell out of the trilogy when I was a kid. Plus, it's got a lot of charm.

johnny cagem
i still dunno if i'll switch my song but i'm kinda tempted to stick to my guns & throw the roulette as a result most likely :neverusethis:
i dunno the fact that i'm in the lead is too much pressure but safe picks bore the hell out of me at any point past like the first round or two

Why are some people's names in green? There's probably a more appropriate thread to ask this question, but we have some time to kill while waiting for Sacul and Elite.

We are the ones that have donated $$ to the forum. You donate, you get a green name. ;D

Is the name in green or are there green stars? I'm asking because on my screen there are green stars.

evermind's probably getting one of the top spots tho
hopefully rhapsody does poorly :corn

That's kinda mean, Parama. You should think about that and feel bad.

Nothing is inevitable. Except that it's going to be time for snippets before this game is done if people don't hurry it up. :P

How did you know?
i had to look up the foscor one to remember what it even sounded like & i own that album. it uhh. is a song i guess lol
It’s an awesome track and while this particular song might not really be that (I picked the mpst intense song on the album), the band is quite a bit similar to Katatonia which Lethean enjoys, so :corn

How did you know?
you told me in PM that you liked foscor when you sent me the album that got you cut from my roulette :P
i've basically already concluded that style of metal is just not for me though, considering i've never been very into a single band making stuff in that vein
-
Well Jezuz... you gave up Holy Thunderforce before anyone guessed it!

Sorry jingle. I figured we were close enough to having it done.

Also, I have to say that having one of my participants missing this round makes me :sadpanda:

Some thoughts for round 7. Not a strong as rounds 5 or 6 I don't think, but there's a some good stuff here.
1. This track has a really nice energy to it, and I like the vocals a lot.
2. Although this isn't really my thing, I've certainly managed to have parts of it in my head since I started listening to it.
3. There's something that I dislike, or think I dislike, about this track and yet, it leaves me feeling a bit emotional each time I listen to it.
4. I feel like this would be a good track to play during the end credits of one of the LOTR or Hobbit movies.
5. I'm still not sure quite how I feel about this track. It's beautiful, but feels like it's going somewhere that it never gets to, and takes a long time doing it.
6. This track has a little more variety than I was expecting and although it's not rocking my world, it's been enjoyable.
7. Nice and heavy, I'm not super fond of some of the vocal melodies, but they seem to work well with this song.
8. Dark, heavy, somewhat different. Really cool track.
9. This track seemed really promising for a while, but then the vocals came in…
10. This is a really cool track, heavy, lots going on (in a good way), but I'm not at all sure how I feel about the singer.
-
2 = Rhapsody
4 = Rhapsody
-
You are right about one, but wrong about the other...
-
from what i remember about that refused song i'm guessing it's #9
#5 actually sounds like it might be Aim L45
no clue which is mine though. maybe #3?
watch me be wrong on all of this
-
I'm 10. I have almost no doubt that I'm 10. Not score, but snippet.
-
i just realized that
1. the dear hunter isn't banned
2. nobody has sent them yet
i don't plan to send them in round 8 tho so one of y'all can go right ahead, just spreading awareness :corn
-
Allow me to refer everyone to the Dear Hunter thread, Kattelox's roulette thread, and this very thread, probably not that many pages ago...
-
Breaking news - Kattelox is sure that his snippet is #9, knowing the quality of the vocals on the track he submitted...
-
sorry katt but please go listen to #9 with the tastes of the roulette host in mind (or tbh your own tastes in mind) and then pick a different one
-
Katt is doubling down on his #9 pick, but thinks you should go listen to his track yourself, given your love of flutes and lutes...
-
i listened to a bit of it. it sounds like power metal
unrelated was listening to the ultar album ev sent me (because i bought it) & reading over the lyrics and it includes this line (in the translation):
"you burn and left behind the palaces of hangmen"
i'm pretty sure this is about splent
-
Katt says that in order to appreciate it better, I should listen to it while imagining that it was sung by Andre Matos instead.
-
katt that's nice but lethean absolutely would not like hardcore punk vocals and that's final
-
Well, you two can speculate all you like, but I'm pretty sure I'm the one with the final say as to what kind of vocals I would or wouldn't like. I do find it surprising that he's so unconfident about the vocals on his track though...
-
my vocals are worse anyways so fair :tup
-
I am 1 or 3.....or maybe 10.
-
Looks like Flaming Row didn't do too well.
-
Which one do you think it is?
-
I'm 10. I have almost no doubt that I'm 10. Not score, but snippet.
I'd go with 9 if I were you...
-
Any of the songs with you complaining about vocals is Refused tbh
-
Did you send me that, Sacul? Dude, that was a clusterfuck!! :lol
-
i didn't even like it much tbh, i tried listening to that album once and i just hated it
-
I think I'm 7, 8 or 10. Maybe #1 even.
-
I have a Refused sticker on my laptop. I wouldn't be able to tell you anything more interesting about my experience with Refused
No really they're ok, just not for me
--
Mine is probably one about the vocals/vocal melodies, I remember being put off first time listening to it by the first line in the song after that sick intro
-
I'm 10. I have almost no doubt that I'm 10. Not score, but snippet.
I'd go with 9 if I were you...
Actually.... I confused my entry here with my entry at Jingle's roulette, so I'm not at all so certain that it's 10 now. I could be 3. I could be 9. I could be, well, any of them except for 5 (it has a pretty clear denouement) and 8 (it's not dark, I don't think).

Maaaybe tonight, probably tomorrow. I think I might have to give a score I don't necessarily want to.

That's OK. Stadler is used to it. :neverusethis:
It's probably me..

i'm ready, lethean, it's fine :corn
end me

FINISH HIM!! :xbones

I didn't say it was a bad score that I didn't want to give...
10. Refused - Tannhauser / Derive
Sent by Sacul
So… this track seemed really promising for the first couple minutes, and I had a good feeling about it. And then the vocals came in. I'm not quite sure what to say, so I'll leave it to Parama. "lethean absolutely would not like hardcore punk vocals and that's final." Yeah. I didn't know that they were called hardcore punk vocals, but whatever it is, he was right. Also, this is the track that wouldn't end. Just when you thought it was over, the screaming would begin again, kind of like in a horror movie, when it looks like the evil creature is dead, but it jumps up one or two more times.
9. Rhapsody - Holy Thunderforce
Sent by jingle.boy
This really isn't bad. Other than the lyrics, which might be the best-worst lyrics I've ever heard. Plus, although this isn't really my thing, I've certainly managed to have parts of it in my head on and off since I started listening to it. Especially that beginning part which then repeats a few times throughout the song. The stand alone vocals are good (and I like the way Fabio sings "oblivion"), but the chorus is what really doesn't do much for me. Not bad, I think I can see the appeal, but at the same time, I don't know how well I'd take to a whole album of this.
8. Rhapsody - Wisdom of the Kings
Sent by Kattelox
This track has a little more variety than I was expecting and although it's not rocking my world, it's been enjoyable. I heard jingle's song first, and since you said the tracks were kind of in the same vein, I was expecting more of the same overall. But this one was better. It takes its foot off the double bass gas a little more, which makes it a more enjoyable experience for me. I like the chorus a lot better too - just the melody and that it sounds less like… I dunno, a bunch of fantasy characters getting ready to march off to war, and you also get to hear more of Fabio shining through. But I was still hoping for and imagining something else from them; maybe I would like a ballad from them better actually, or something that has even more slower parts mixed in with the speed, and a few twists or something. Also, I'm not sure why you thought this was the #9 snippet about the vocals, but you may have a good point about listening to it with Andre Matos in mind…
7. To-Mera - Mirage
Sent by Puppies
This is a really cool track, heavy, lots going on (in a good way), but I'm not at all sure how I feel about the singer. I was hoping maybe the vocals would grow on me, and they have somewhat, but maybe not enough. My curiosity has been piqued though - maybe I should try a couple more songs from them and see if the vocals work better for me. Instrumentally I liked it a lot.
6. Yes - Turn of the Century
Sent by Stadler
I'm still not sure quite how I feel about this track. It's beautiful, but feels like it's going somewhere that it never gets to, and takes a long time doing it (Kattelox will be pleased that I can think a song might be too long). The day after I posted that snippet, and you were certain this was the one snippet that couldn’t be yours, I went back again and tried to listen to it differently to see what I was missing. This is probably on me then, but it still kind of feels that way to me. That having been said, I still think it's beautiful and I enjoyed it. The vocals sounded good and it's a much different experience than the track Puppies tried to send me would have been.
4. Flaming Row - Aim L45
Sent by Evermind
First everyone thought this was going to do well, then they thought it wouldn't. This is a beautiful song. I feel like this would be a good track to play during the end credits of one of the LOTR or Hobbit movies, and this wasn't meant as some kind of put down. There was a song that closed out one of those movies that this kind of reminds me of (it probably sounds nothing like it, but just made me think of it); beautiful, sad melodies, the right instruments, etc. I'm not sure how many singers are on this track, but I think I like most of them.
3. Dvne - Crimson Path
Sent by Train of Naught
I really liked the intro of this song and right from the beginning I felt that it would be one that I really liked. It's nice and heavy and just has this mood that let's you know you're going to be in for a great 8 minutes. I'm not super fond of some of the vocal melodies, but they mostly seem to work well with this song after I'd spent some time with it. Sometimes I really like the vocals and other times wish they'd be a little bit different.
3. Spiral Key - Freeze Time
Sent by TAC
This track has a really nice energy to it, and I like the vocals a lot. I'm not sure how much I like that main string part (see how great I am at describing music? But I imagine you know what I mean), but otherwise I always looked forward to this track in the playlist. I liked the little bass and keyboard break towards the middle to end followed by a nice beautiful melodic guitar solo.
2. Foscor - De Marges i Matinades
Sent by Elite
I really liked this track a lot, and am curious about the rest of the album. I'm not particularly fond of the singer, but don’t dislike him either and his voice seems to fit well enough with the song. It's dark, heavy, somewhat different. The harsh vocals are OK I suppose and don't last that long, and actually both you and Parama should probably thank Sacul, because the harsh vocals on your songs sounded quite pleasant compared to what he sent. The end of the song takes a more atmospheric turn which sounds really nice as well.
1. Morrow - Embers
Sent by Parama
Gloating is very unbecoming Parama, so don't do it. There's still one more round to go. :P The instrumentation on this track is so beautiful. I like the lyrics too, although I couldn't have said what they were without looking them up (but I did look them up, which I haven't done much during this roulette). The track is almost 11 minutes but doesn't feel that long while you're listening to it. Why does stuff like this always have to have harsh vocals? Maybe that's the only way bands feel they can really make it work. I guess I can kind of see that in a way... This track is so sad, and there's so much anguish, and it's also so beautiful, that I always feel something, and sometimes it's a strong emotional reaction, when I listen to it. And that is why it deserves to get this score. Having said that, I don't see myself listening to this very often. I could be wrong, and maybe I will, but harsh vocals really get to me when I'm not in the right mood (which I certainly wasn't the first time I listened to it at 3 am or so).
Parama: 5 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 5 + 5 + 1 = 21

jingle.boy: 2 + 9 + 10 + 7 + 7 + 4 + 9 = 48

That 10 in Round 2 has ruined this potential win. I should not have sent that :lol
-
:metal
if it helps there's really not that much harsh vocals on the album overall. i think there's at least two instrumentals
i'll pick out some good crap for next round. literally only two people left who can beat me now and actually i think train can at best tie, if he gets a 1 and i get a 10 :lol
but yeah i'll send some of that good crap, no harsh vox i promise
so far all of my scores are odd numbers, hmm
-
How in the hell is Parama first AND Sacul last? Either on their own doesn't necessarily surprise or shock me, but the two of them bookending the standings seems odd.
-
Same thing happened in my roulette. Sacul and Parama both send very different music; Sacul barely sends any metal and has a habit of sending generally weird stuff, while Parama’s stuff is, well, mostly metal.
-
Looks like I'm really good at sending average songs with those 6, 6, 5, 4, 4 scores.
-

dacul is one of the most incompatible people with my music tastes as of late, honestly :lol anyways he's sent a few things anyone could've told you were bad ideas, especially clippng and refused
also the weird thing with my roulettes is that the person who doesn't send metal usually ends up winning somehow
-

I sent some metal. The difficult thing with sending metal is that you've heard pretty much everything already.

I wanted to show Lethean some interesting stuff outside his comfort zone, with little success it seems :lol

I'm feeling comfortable right in the middle of the standings :lol
Even with 2 round wins I'm still somehow behind Trainy and TAC. I guess I haven't been the most consistent. Or our host is schizophrenic... :biggrin:

when searching for stuff outside of someone's comfort zone first make sure it's at least adjacent to something they already like :P

But I guess it’s not really your thing anyway, no

Mathematically I can't do worse than Lucas, and I'd have to knock it out of the park to over-take Stads. Here's throwing caution to the wind.
I'm playing way above my pay grade, so don't give up hope!! Plus, I had the next two songs all mapped out, forgot to write them down, and.... forgot them both.
-
Checked out the top 2 songs of the round and noped out of there pretty quickly, not my thing :lol I figured the vocal melodies would be the weak point - if any - for Dvne, but glad you enjoyed it!
Sent doom and despair
can't believe you hate good music
send frontierer
-
I sent Train's favourite band.
-
evermind, cake slicer extraordinaire
-
I sent Train's favourite band.
If you had just taken a look at the banned list, you would've figured out that "Astra (not a metal band from Italy)" is already banned you clown :natalieportman:
-
It has "d" after its name which means it's not exactly banned :corn
-
Kattelox is upset that he hasn't found something with Andre Matos to send.
-
Well, if you stopped the Foscor song before the cool part, then you missed something :corn
But I guess it’s not really your thing anyway, no
The whole song is the cool part. :)
-
I'm playing way above my pay grade, so don't give up hope!! Plus, I had the next two songs all mapped out, forgot to write them down, and.... forgot them both.
Just making sure everyone knows this next round is the last one. :)
-
which is good for me as i'd probably run out of crap to send soon ;D
-
Also, I have to say that having one of my participants missing this round makes me :sadpanda:
I'm back, so, you can retroactively give my song first place now.
So jingle, I heard that Kattelox thinks your Rhapsody song is way better than his, and he's jealous that he didn't think of sending it himself... :neverusethis:
Two counts of bullshit on this, Your Hostliness.
sorry katt but please go listen to #9 with the tastes of the roulette host in mind (or tbh your own tastes in mind) and then pick a different one
(https://i.imgur.com/xyAzMZR.gif)
Katt says that in order to appreciate it better, I should listen to it while imagining that it was sung by Andre Matos instead.
(https://replygif.net/i/1518.gif)
katt that's nice but lethean absolutely would not like hardcore punk vocals and that's final
Thank god I have none of that in my collection! :lol
I knew Rhapsody wouldn't do well but it doesn't matter because I am quite chuffed that Chad lost our little bet and has to use the custom Jigglypuff avatar for the next week. I believe the record is in my favor now, and I'm sure next time he will show no mercy if he wins. :lol
Sent for the final round something that probably only Stadler and I will fully appreciate. :corn
-
dacul, send already so we can hangmeme :corn

:lol Pup, I hope you like it!
-
Sacul, please send me something better than what I just listened to... :)
-
nah let him keep that one, just means a better score for everyone else :loser:
I'm curious now though :P
-
:lol Pup, I hope you like it!
Here's the thing with all the roulette's I've been participating in, I feel obligated in some weird way to listen to everything everyone else sends (it does give me some ideas of where to go next based on how the host likes each song). And because of this, I'm still way behind in my 2018 album listening. Aaaaand I also signed up for another roulette.....mostly because you did as well (I thought it was fun running them concurrently like last time...). I don't know how I'm going to catch up LoL. Maybe I'll take next year off and only listen to the albums released by bands that I really really really like and not actively try to find new bands.......................I don't think I can do it.......MUST FIND NEW MUSIC....AT ALL TIMES......cant stop......send help
-
I feel that mood :lol
I buy over a hundred albums every year because I am a music addict
Unlike drugs I can sell the ones that suck, though :P but I'm too lazy to
-
nah let him keep that one, just means a better score for everyone else :loser:

It wasn't something Sacul sent. I don't have his submission yet...
-
oh :corn
I hope it was mine then cause I'd love to go out with a 10 :metal
-
He was probably listening to Ghost Mile :tup :tup :millahhhh :sadpanda: :facepalm: :natalieportman: :tup
don't kick me out of the roulette please
-
I feel that mood :lol
I buy over a hundred albums every year because I am a music addict
Unlike drugs I can sell the ones that suck, though :P but I'm too lazy to
Indeed, last year alone I bought physical copies of 150 or so albums (my wife hates me for having literally 1000's of CD's, vinyl, collector's sets, etc. all over the place (and I still have all of the cassette tapes I bought years ago....why you ask??? I don't know why....)). I don't sell too many, but it is nice having that option. I listened to over 260 albums last year on Google play music streaming, but I don't buy the ones I don't really enjoy.
This year I've only bought 70 albums.......so far..........the year is still young......my wallet hates me too
-
god I've listened to an absurd amount of albums this year. For the last big batch of stuff I ordered I was whittling down from something like, 100+ albums (didn't bother keeping track) to like 70ish, and just kept burning that down and wasted a lot of time on crap too
Aside from the 35ish albums just from my roulette, too
-
Train - go listen to Ghost Mile until you love it.
Parama - you better hope not, because you can't win this roulette with a 10. :P
-
Darn :neverusethis:
I'm pretty confident tho tbh and all I have to do is not score like 5 points lower than elite
-
Hangman time - starting in record time. :) Also, I'm sorry Stadler, but I just couldn't do it...

$5 says puppies' song is called Jotunheim, i didn't even look it up i promise
edit: okay I looked it up now and 19 MINUTES JESUS
i feel way better about sending an 11 min song now that I know two people sent 19 & 22 minute behemoths :lol

anyways i'd go listen to the competition but i already know like 37 minutes of this round including the one that matters so :corn
we'll see what lethean's thoughts are, aside from not liking moonsorrow (i'm willing to be surprised on this one though)
anyways grats elite :metal

So - results might take a bit longer, as Puppies and Sacul's tracks are 40 minutes just between the two of them. :P None of the tracks are bad. And it seems that we may have some real competition up at the top, depending on how the various songs grow on me and settle into their position. There's no obvious 10 for the first time in a few rounds. Stadler tried to send me one, or several, obvious 10s, but nah... let's make this a little closer. :)
-
color me surprised then :tup
gonna be dying of suspense over here now :corn
-
We should have conspired to ALL send 20 minute songs. Dang it.
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rgglao5909E
this would've been my pick if i had any expectation lethean wouldn't be turned off by the growly bits of the song (like a minute or two of the entire thing in total but still)
puppies you're banned from listening to this btw
-
Well, pretty much everyone else has been given some kind of leeway/assistance in this roulette, so if you want to switch it, you can, but you have to decide soon.
Except maybe Elite and Train - so I should probably offer them to switch too if they want.
-
hah no i'm not switching i'm really confident in what i sent. gets a 10
and anyways the one time you offered me assistance, i ignored it and got first in the round, so :P
-
I'm not telling you you should switch this time - just giving you the opportunity. Sometimes you under-advertise the amount of growls in the songs you send though, and I suspect that 17 minute track has more than 1 minute total. :P And it's probably the kind I really don't like.
-
I hope Asia beats Genesis :biggrin:
-
I hope Asia beats Genesis :biggrin:
I hope Moonsorrow beats both :laugh:

:yeahright :( :'( :sadpanda: :tdwn :angry: :huh: >:( :censored :orly:
-
oh it absolutely is the kind you don't like which is why i'm wary about sending it :lol
and yeah i don't think it's just 1 minute it's like at least two whole verses and then a bit in the bridge
the hail spirit noir song literally just has one growled lined in total though i listened to it again right before i sent to make sure of that :P
puppies you're literally next up in the roulette queue if you have an epic round i gotta save -something- for it
-
puppies you're literally next up in the roulette queue if you have an epic round i gotta save -something- for it
Yeah I just got a message from Bolsters and I posted in the roulette thread. It will be 2-3 weeks before I can start mine.
-
well, you'll have to suffer for 2-3 weeks unable to listen to that song then
-
I'm fine, I sent the longest song from the album anyway.
So you basically have two Magnus Karlsson songs in this round, nice. :2metal:
-
you should do another avatar bet with jingle. if he loses he has to keep his current one for an extra month :P
-
Wouldn't it make more sense for Evermind to do the avatar bet with jingle?
-
that's.... literally what i just said, yes :lol
-
:facepalm:
-
Sorry - I thought you were talking to Katt with the "another" avatar bet.
-
I think Chad should keep it. Jigglypuff is cute. :lol

hey jingle i'll join in on the fun if it makes you feel better

not a bad choice tbh

But there is no next time.. this is the final round!

there's still plenty of hangmeme left in ariich's roulette :tup

I’m not playing in that one anymore :) :)

that just means you have one more album to guess each round than you would otherwise

Oh fuck

You beat him when he played Semistereo in my last roulette.
-
Is that so? :biggrin:
-
Is K-lox Asia?
Yep - he said Stadler would appreciate his selection.
And he does. I LOVE that song (probably my favorite song on that album, and that album is sometimes my favorite Asia album, even if the first one has more good memories tied to it.)

Every time I play that song I feel like

I was literally thinking exactly that, Chad. :lol
11 albums and I'll have finished the round in just over a week. I mean really, get a grip people. :P
-
If I did an album roulette it would probably take a year. :). I'll leave that for the people who buy hundreds of new albums each year.
-
Lethean, just let this round go on as long as you'd like. Chad might grow fond of his new avatar and want to keep it.
-
do a countdown of the final rankings, whoever gets 10th overall is posted first, then 9th, 8th etc.
keep us dying in suspense :corn

Lethean, just let this round go on as long as you'd like. Chad might grow fond of his new avatar and want to keep it.
I like his new avatar. Ok, results in 2019.

Fine. I guess results next week then. I won't be home this weekend, so results will probably be on Tuesday. I may try to use Parama's idea of trickling them in if I can get a few done sooner.

Some snippets:
1. This song is a challenge. I think I'm up for it.
2. I would like this song more if it weren't for the chorus.
3. The chorus on this song rules.
4. The intro, middle breakdown part, and ending are soooo cool; not sure how much I like the rest though.
5. There are some things about this song that I'm not completely sold on, but I usually forget about those things during the last few minutes.
6. The second half of this song is great.
7. The first half of this song is better than the second.
8. This song would suffer from its position on the playlist… except it's good enough to overcome that.
9. This song is totally awesome and rules in every way.
10. I wish I liked the singer more, because this song is pretty :metal

Well, my song is totally awesome and rules in every way, so :lol Probably 3? The chorus is super infectious and the positive energy is palpable.
-
4. The intro, middle breakdown part, and ending are soooo cool; not sure how much I like the rest though.
This is definitely mine.
-
those don't help me at all :lol
-
Some of them are too vague I suppose, but I don't want to give them away. :P Some of them seem obvious to me. You can probably rule out a couple for yours.
-
also when you talk about a song suffering from playlist position, you should randomize your playlist every time you listen so that doesn't happen :P
-
I do, if necessary. :P In this case, it turned out not to be.
-
3. The chorus on this song rules.
This could be mine I guess.
-
those don't help me at all :lol
I'm as lost as Parama.
I do know that the snippets that mention "Chorus" aren't mine, because there is no real discernible "chorus" in mine, I don't think.

Results or not, Kim Jong-Il comes back on Monday morning.
Want to make another bet?
Sure, let's bet whether Puppet Jong-Il returns on Monday. :lol

I'll fight you for it. Rick Altzi is pretty polarizing.
But otherwise, I'll gladly take #9. :biggrin:
-
Most of the snippet guesses are wrong. Puppies, I'll just tell you - I would never even say "the singer" in relation to your song. :P
-
LoL fair enough :biggrin:

SNAP!

Some random thoughts: One of these tracks makes really cool use of something. I've seen 2 of these bands live before. I listened to the #1 track 3 times in a row today. All of these tracks are at least somewhat enjoyable and I'm not looking forward to giving out a 10. Maybe I just won't.
-
Hey go ahead and give me first place while you're at it :neverusethis:
-
#1 probably isn't moonsorrow or gybe if you've had time to listen to it 3 times :corn

Sorry Parama, results not today or tomorrow.
Jingle, can't you keep your avatar until Tuesday or Wednesday? I like it. :)
I haven't been able to do much listening this weekend because I've been with family. Puppies, my mom wound up hearing your song, and the look on her face when that scream came in was absolutely priceless. She'd been talking, but said she'd also been listening and thought it was good until then. :lol
-
fine i'll wait :angel:
-
And what did she think about John Wetton's silky smooth voice on that record? :biggrin:
-
She did not comment on the vocals, but now I know the singer's name. :)
I should play Stadler's track, and see if she recognizes Phil Collins.
-
did she hear the beautiful ambient piece i sent

Something is f-ed with it though. It looks like you left the picture in your car over the weekend in the hot sun.

You're right... it was the best screen cap I could grab of a not-angry Puppet Jong Il.

Gonna be a very clean crib you got. Tomorrow. Maybe. Might not be until Wednesday. I only got 1 full listen in between yesterday and today.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.

Can't I still post results? You'd surely drop to at least third. Maybe fourth. :rollin

It's mathematically impossible for me to drop lower than tied for second but sure :P
Maybe you'd like the song I sent this round tho tbh it has one (1) growl and is mostly heavier prog rock stuff
Maybe I'll send it next round if I can be bothered to send anything corn corn

Here are the final results - I apologize for taking so long this round, but I wanted to give this final round as many listens as I could, and just couldn't do much of it over the weekend. Thanks everyone for participating! I had a lot of fun and discovered at least a couple bands that I really liked from every person who joined. Maybe we'll do this again some time. 😊
Without further ado:
10. Asia - My Own Time
Sent by Kattelox
I hate to do this, because I know you really love this song, and I don't actually hate it. I think by now everyone's probably realized that I'm not going to go all Wolfking on anyone, but I think I have at least made it clear when I really didn't like something. This isn't one of those situations. I liked most of this song, but I would like it a lot more if it weren't for the chorus. It's just a bit too poppy for my tastes, whereas I like the singer's voice for the most part and I like the overall feel of the rest of the song. I hope this isn't entirely surprising, as you indicated I wouldn't listen to it unless it was sent in a roulette. :P
9. Magnus Karlsson - Not My Saviour
Sent by jingle.boy
I wish I liked the singer more, because this song is pretty :metal. When it comes to this kind of metal, it often comes down to how well I like the vocals and this time I didn't care for them too much. I've found that I generally don't like singers whose default mode is a raspy/gritty kind of voice. (Tom Englund is different). I like it when someone has that in their repertoire, but overall I just prefer a clearer voice. Otherwise, this is a really cool track, and I see that there are other singers on the album, so I wouldn't mind exploring it further. I have a feeling that our tastes align more than this roulette might have either of us believe, just based on some random other threads, as well as you being one of the few people who seemed familiar with some of the stuff I sent Kattelox in his roulette. We just didn't align so much during this one.
8. Genesis - One for the Vine
Sent by Stadler
I'm all over the place with this track. I like it, I don't like it, I think it takes too long to get moving, I think it's fine, etc. I'm glad you sent this, because I was hoping to get some older prog during this roulette. I don't blame people for not sending it to me based on how they perceived my tastes, and as neither Yes nor Genesis scored super high, they may have been right. But I appreciate that I got to listen to some of it anyway - I've always felt that I should explore more of it, and yet never had enough motivation to actually do it. I'm still not sure why it is that 70s Rush resonates so much with me but I have such a hard time with the others. I'm rambling a little, but bottom line: I kind of liked this. I liked Phil Collins way better than Peter Gabriel (on Supper's Ready), I like the way the track picks up at the clock ticking part, and I like some of the vocal melodies quite a bit. On the flip side, I suppose I'd like it to be just a tad heavier a little bit sooner, and some of the really high vocals don’t quite work for me.
7. Primal Fear - One Night in December
Sent by Evermind
I've seen Primal Fear live a couple times and am sure I've listened to miscellaneous tracks on youtube, and they never really did much for me. This track is better than my memory of them, for the most part. I think the intro, middle breakdown part, and ending are soooo cool. I'm definitely a sucker for that kind of intro, with the storm, the crows, the bell tolling, etc. That build up is just fantastic. Unfortunately, I'm not as into the "meat" of the song, which lines up more with what I was expecting from them. I like Ralf Scheepers better than the guy in jingle's track, but I'm not a huge fan of his voice either. Still, this was a really enjoyable listen and :metal.
6. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Storm
Sent by Sacul
I really enjoyed this track, especially the first half, which is really strong, and I like the whole crescendo aspect of it. I don't own anything that sounds like this, but I've seen a few bands live that I would consider similar. I had a feeling I would probably like this based on maybe sampling a track or two in the past, and I do. For my tastes it takes a little too long to end maybe, and the second half sometimes loses my attention. I was having a hard time ranking this one up against the others, and my usual method of asking myself what I would rather listen to didn't necessarily work. This would really come down more to what I might be in the mood for at the time vs what I think I like better. So I'm putting it somewhere in the middle, and ahead of some of the others because it's not similar to much that I already own or listen to.
5. Ascendia - Demon Eyes
Sent by TAC
You're really good at sending tracks that are just :metal :metal that have singers I either like, or at least don’t mind. I love the chorus of this track - it might not seem like anything terribly special, but it just sounds cool and I have it in my head a lot - in a good way. Ascendia is the other band I've seen live, and for some reason I was just kind of meh about them - didn't dislike them, but also didn't think they were doing much to set themselves apart from the other bands I've seen at ProgPower and liked better. I enjoyed this track a lot though.
4. Hail Spirit Noir - The Mermaid
Sent by Parama
Congratulations on winning yet another roulette! I still can't believe you were thinking about not participating at all. :P About this track: At first, I wasn't really sure how much I liked it; I didn't care for the singer much, and didn't like some of the, I don't know, retro? sounds in the song. However, after the 2nd or 3rd listen I was pretty certain it would at least be ahead of enough of the other songs to land you the win. (But wasn't going to let on and spoil the surprise). It also grew on me a lot - the singer started to bother me less, as well as some of the spacey sound effects, and I started to anticipate certain parts each time I listened to it, and eventually enjoy the song as a whole. The last few minutes are just really cool too. 😊
3. Moonsorrow - Jotunheim
Sent by Puppies
This is the song I considered to be a challenge that I was up for. Although - 425's recent post about liking songs within the context of a roulette better than he might outside of it kind of resonated with me… I wonder how I would have done with this song had it just been recommended to me. Would I have even listened to the whole thing? But it was in the roulette, so I did listen to the whole thing, and right away I liked something about it enough to where I felt like I needed to see if I could make it work. It's totally epic. It does indeed have harsh vocals that I find more tolerable - if it had Opeth style vocals, I really don't think it would have mattered how epic this song was. But if the circumstances are right, I can deal with this style of vocal, and the circumstances were right for this song. I won't lie - I'd like more of the clean vocals to help balance some the harsh ones, but I was in a good open minded place for this one to hit me. All of the little effects like the wind and the birds and the fire crackling helped add to the mood as well. Somewhere in the middle of the song, I think maybe starting around 8:30 (or was it 9:30), it just seems so triumphant and energetic and I really enjoyed it. It never felt like it was too long, despite my complaining about the overall length of the round. 😊 I think Kattelox should totally give this song another listen - maybe if you don't have to listen to the whole album, this particular track can be enjoyed or at least appreciated more…
2. Novembre - Umana
Sent by Train
This song would have suffered from its position on the playlist… except it was good enough to overcome that. It was a few songs after Moonsorrow, and at that point I initially wanted to throw up my hands, cover my ears, and say "no more harsh vocals, make it stop." However, it's a *great* song. I love how atmospheric it is, and the first time I listened to it and it went into that shift when the growls receded, the weak clean vocals (which superficially reminded me of old Katatonia clean vocals) came in, and then to that part with the samples - it definitely made me take notice. The song really makes great use of the samples, not sure if they're from a movie or something. Then it builds back up and so fine, if I have to deal with growls for this then I will. 😊 Sometimes, depending on my mood, I would kind of ignore them and just focus on the music behind it. Other times, I would try to experience and appreciate the whole thing, vocals and all. This song has been coming on strong today and I think it would have taken the top spot in quite a few of the other rounds.
1. Semistereo - The Search
Sent by Elite
Starting and finishing the roulette with a bang! This song is totally awesome and rules in every way. You definitely brought out a secret weapon for this round and couldn't have done anything more. It was up to either Parama dropping the ball or everyone else sending a song that was better than his. That didn't quite happen, but this song absolutely rules. I couldn't believe jingle ranked it so low in his roulette; when his results came out I was already pretty certain this would be #1 in mine. Unlike a lot of the songs this round, I like the singer's voice, so that's a big plus right there. I like the mood of this track, and that kind of beautiful yet somber feel to much of it. I like the various twists the song takes, and the build up, and that heavy part with the ahhhh vocals, and - yeah, pretty much everything about it. 😊
Final standings:
1. Winner: Parama: 5 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 5 + 5 + 1 + 4 = 25
Favorite tracks: Thy Catafalque - Oldódó formák a halál titokzatos birodalmáb and The Hirsch Effect - Agitation.
As the winner of this roulette, you get to pick out 3 albums for me to listen to and report back with my thoughts. Two of them have to be from this roulette, and as I didn't dislike any of your songs, you can pick any two you like. The third can be outside the roulette (or still within if you prefer). I really hope you don't make me listen to something with hardcore punk vocals, or even a lot of death metal vocals, but it's up to you. 😊
2. Second place: Elite: 1 + 10 + 4 + 1 + 5 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 27
Favorite tracks: Perihelion Ship - New Sun?, Agent Fresco - See Hell, Foscor - De Marges i Matinades, and Semistereo - The Search
As the silver medalist, you get to pick 2 albums for me to listen to - one with a song that I liked from this roulette, and one can be anything from this roulette whether I liked it or not. I'm hoping it won't be Ulver, but I'll do it if you insist. 😊
3. Third place: Train of Naught: 3 + 4 + 3 + 8 + 3 + 6 + 3 + 2 = 32
Favorite tracks: Rishloo - Landmines, O'Brother - Deconstruct, Novembre - Umana
And as the bronze medalist, you get to pick one album with a song I liked for me to listen to; I'd say anything but Orphaned Land qualifies.
4. TAC: 9 + 3 + 7 + 5 + 2 + 4 + 3 + 5 = 38
Favorite tracks: Pyramid Theorem - Primitive Designs, Iris Divine - In the Wake of Martyrs, Essence of Sorrow - The Mirror
4. Puppies on Acid: 7 + 8 + 1 + 5 + 6 + 1 + 7 + 3 = 38
Favorite tracks: Type O Negative - Anesthesia, Children of Nova - The Complexity of Light, Moonsorrow - Jotunheim
6. Evermind: 6 + 6 + 5 + 2 + 10 + 4 + 4 + 7 = 44
Favorite tracks - Airbag - Broken, Beyond the Bridge - The Difference Is Human, Flaming Row - Aim L45
7. Kattlelox: 4 + 7 + 8 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 8 + 10 = 46
Favorite tracks: Agalloch - Our Fortress Is Burning, Pt. II (Bloodbirds), Aquaria - Here Comes the Life, Mystery - Dear Someone
8. Stadler: 8 + 2 + 6 + 9 + 1 + 9 + 6 + 8 = 49
Favorite tracks: UFO - Love to Love, Jane's Addiction - Three Days
9. jingle.boy: 2 + 9 + 10 + 7 + 7 + 4 + 9 + 9 = 57

Favorite tracks: Nine Inch Nails - The Wretched; Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Storm
-
Super stoked that you liked Jotunheim! I was actually considering sending the final track on the album Kaiku along with Jotunheim as they flow together and I love all the field recording and ambient stuff, but that would have been another 8 minutes :biggrin:
I'd say give the rest of the album a good listen when you have some free time.
-
we did it boysssss :metal
i'll pick out some albums soon-ish yeah
though tbh half the fun of a roulette is following up on all the artists you liked so that's something i'd do anyways if i were you, with a lot of the albums i sent :lol
i also just yolo'd this entire roulette (never even put together an entries list lol) and somehow won so i guess i should never bother overthinking what i send in these
i will definitely say straight out the gate that I think you'd like Thy Catafalque - Sgurr though, even if some of the later tracks get a bit heavier than the one I sent
-

This is how I played most of Elite's roulette. I winged most of it, until the last few rounds when I realized I had a chance to actually win it. Then I sort of tanked the EP round.... I should post a link to my "remastered" EP with the better transitions.

on that note can you remind me of everything i sent in this roulette? :lol

I'm sure it is, and I probably will, but it takes me a long time to get around to listening to stuff. So consider this your chance to plug something you really like. :P Plus, you get to pick one that wasn't sent in the roulette.
i will definitely say straight out the gate that I think you'd like Thy Catafalque - Sgurr though, even if some of the later tracks get a bit heavier than the one I sent
I definitely liked the track you sent a lot - I think I'd only had 2 or 3 other submissions in that round and as soon as I listened to it I thought it would be tough to beat.

Although - 425's recent post about liking songs within the context of a roulette better that he might outside of it kind of resonated with me… I wonder how I would have done with this song had it just been recommended to me.
Actually quite good to hear that I'm not alone in this experience. :lol
Oh, and congrats Parama! Glad you found someone to appreciate your core.
-
No regrets. I also knew Parama was gonna run away with this based on my roulette.

Nah, it's just the similar vibes I got. Both of you like (what sounds to me like) brooding, somber, dark, heavier stuff more than I do as well as more often than I do; I would go with Asia over anything in this last round any day. Nothing wrong with that, mind - just an observation; by the end of my roulette I had grouped you and Parama together because of the general tone of what was submitted and how I received them.

i'll pick the roulette-less one soon then. i'd make you listen to East of the Wall but I already know you'd hate them :lol

That's interesting. I was under the assumption that he listened to way heavier stuff than I do. And maybe he does, but he obviously has enough less heavy stuff too. I've never thought of myself as liking super heavy stuff - just medium heavy, I suppose. :)
-
yeah i could've sent you like, mithras or der weg einer freiheit or monotheist or something and you'd have Literally Died but nah i kept it medium heavy

-
it's kinda funny too 'cause like, the only dark & brooding stuff i sent was brand new and maaaaybe the hirsch effekt but not really :P
-
You can change that impression by joining my next roulette which will be a fun one :biggrin:
-
nah i can't dance with anyone who hates paramacore so much :metal :metal :metal :metal :metal :metal

Like I thought.. the Ulver in round 2 actually screwed up the roulette win. Never should have sent that, but I had no idea it would end up being this close obviously. Glad I could finish on a high note! That Semistereo track really is a shot in a dark; I absolutely love it myself and I've seen roulette hosts love it as well, and some turn it down, but I thought you might like it (and you did! :) ) - I actually thought jingle would like it as well, but we know how that ended :P
I'll think about the albums you'll have to listen to, because I kind of want to redeem Ulver with you, but I'd send a different album than the one I sent from. As for the other.. I'm sure you're going to listen to Agent Fresco (do it, both their albums are really, really good), the Semistereo album 'The Search' comes from is highly enjoyable, definitetly worth a listen, although The Search is pretty much the best track ('Sin' is also very good). I don't know Foscor apart from 'Les Irreals Visions', but that one is nice. Perihelion Ship has two albums and you can't go wrong with either. I'd say the second one is more consistent overall, but the first one has this awesome 22-minute epic.

Personally, I've always considered Umana to be the best introduction to the band's modern sound, so I always send that and I'm really happy that you enjoyed it! I think I mentioned how I felt they are similar to Katatonia in places as well which is why I sent it. You will probably like their modern sound more, like this song the harsh vocals are very sparsely spread throughout the music so it's not overbearing for people that aren't very into them yet. The downside to a lot of their albums is that they tend to be very long and not always 100% quality. I don't think Novembre's "Ursa" (album this song is from) is super amazing beyond this song and Agathae, but still solid. But since my favourite album by them is an old-school death metal album I think I'm pretty sure I have to go with Rishloo's "Living as Ghosts With Buildings as Teeth". That's one of the best albums of the decade in my opinion. And I'd say the album closer is their best song ever, so best for last :metal
Great roulette man, highly enjoyed it

Totally fair assessment of Rick Altzi's voice - I'm the same way actually. Hell, a Taylor Swift song beat a song he sung lead on in my last roulette!
I have a feeling that our tastes align more than this roulette might have either of us believe, just based on some random other threads, as well as you being one of the few people who seemed familiar with some of the stuff I sent Kattelox in his roulette. We just didn't align so much during this one.
Yeah, I would've thought so too. But seeing the top 3 (no disrespect to anyone, just stating facts), we're a few degrees off. I get the feeling that it's not my primary tastes that work for you - and vice versa. The fact that you'd rank my #1 and #2 songs of 2010's the way you did validates this. I went off the reservation for a couple rounds with the Classic Rock stuff (and Rhapsody), so I think that's what put me at the bottom. I'd bet there's a lot in my library you'd very much dig... I just wasn't able to find the sweet spot (other than Soul Secret).
TASTES!

I actually thought jingle would like it as well, but we know how that ended :P
Still love ya dude. :hug:
It's funny, I was just looking back at my roulette tracking list, and the songs that I used to win your 2nd roulette - which included Not My Saviour!! :biggrin:
Flaming Row Rage of Despair
Epysode Obsessions
Frameshift The Gene Machine
Dec Burke Small Hours
Magnus Karlsson's Free Fall Not My Saviour
Dimension Act Drawing the Lines of Mortal Existence
Amaran's Plight Coming of Age
Echoes Rude Awakening
Soul Secret Aftermath
Only The Gene Machine got a rating worse than 3rd. :lol
And clearly, I have a few 'go-to' roulette submissions!

Since I finished 8th and therefore get to name one tune from one of the albums of one of the songs I sent you that you have to listen to (wha????), based on your writeup to "One For The Vine", give "Eleventh Earl of Mar" a listen (It's the track before OFTV on the same album, and the album opener).
Other than that, nice job, Lethean, and nice job to the other entrants. I get to talk smack to Jingle and Sacul for about a week, and that's always fun. Plus, Kattelox, I'm with you brother. Great song, great chorus, and (for Wetton) great lyric. Asia rules!

Fuckin' right they do, brother! :biggrin:

Like I thought.. the Ulver in round 2 actually screwed up the roulette win. Never should have sent that, but I had no idea it would end up being this close obviously. Glad I could finish on a high note! That Semistereo track really is a shot in a dark; I absolutely love it myself and I've seen roulette hosts love it as well, and some turn it down, but I thought you might like it (and you did! :) ) - I actually thought jingle would like it as well, but we know how that ended :P
Yeah, I was really surprised by that. :) I just loved everything about it and always wanted to play it a few more times. :metal
I'll think about the albums you'll have to listen to, because I kind of want to redeem Ulver with you, but I'd send a different album than the one I sent from. As for the other.. I'm sure you're going to listen to Agent Fresco (do it, both their albums are really, really good), the Semistereo album 'The Search' comes from is highly enjoyable, definitetly worth a listen, although The Search is pretty much the best track ('Sin' is also very good). I don't know Foscor apart from 'Les Irreals Visions', but that one is nice. Perihelion Ship has two albums and you can't go wrong with either. I'd say the second one is more consistent overall, but the first one has this awesome 22-minute epic.
OK - let me know which ones when you decide. :) I will definitely be listening to some of this anyway, but that's what I'll listen to first. For now, it's ProgPower in a week so I'll be listening to that stuff for a while. :)

Personally, I've always considered Umana to be the best introduction to the band's modern sound, so I always send that and I'm really happy that you enjoyed it! I think I mentioned how I felt they are similar to Katatonia in places as well which is why I sent it. You will probably like their modern sound more, like this song the harsh vocals are very sparsely spread throughout the music so it's not overbearing for people that aren't very into them yet. The downside to a lot of their albums is that they tend to be very long and not always 100% quality. I don't think Novembre's "Ursa" (album this song is from) is super amazing beyond this song and Agathae, but still solid. But since my favourite album by them is an old-school death metal album I think I'm pretty sure I have to go with Rishloo's "Living as Ghosts With Buildings as Teeth". That's one of the best albums of the decade in my opinion. And I'd say the album closer is their best song ever, so best for last :metal
I love how you added "yet." :P I don't think they're ever really going to be something I enjoy most of the time. I can say that I do enjoy the ones on Arcturian (latest Arcturus album). And I enjoy some of the ones on various Solefald songs. But usually it's a case where I can tolerate them and there's something about the music that I enjoy enough to do so.
I will listen to the Rishloo album first for sure. That's a song that probably should have been ranked at least one spot higher, because it continued to grow on me after the round was over. Would you say Ursa would be the first Novembre album I should check out, or something else?

OK I know the song got the low rating mostly because of him... but I didn't dislike him *that* much... :p

I just wasn't able to find the sweet spot (other than Soul Secret).
Yeah I think that's probably right - maybe our favorite stuff is different, though I presume you like DT, and I know you like Threshold, and I think you like Rush (?). And of course, after your roulette is over you'll start listening to Katatonia and realize that they totally rule... ;) But yeah, I think there's probably a lot of stuff that you have that I'd like. I think I might even have liked other tracks from Echoes and Magnus Karlsson better, depending on the singer. And the Epysode track that you first sent wasn't something that I disliked; I just didn't know how much I'd like the male singer and seeing that I'm a big fan of Tom's, it just made more sense for me to go with the other one.
-
Would you say Ursa would be the first Novembre album I should check out, or something else?
No! Materia is the better 'modern' Novembre album for sure, that should be the first. :) Either that one or The Blue.

Let's see - Flaming Row might have done well since I liked the one Evermind sent. I love that Frameshift album, especially the vocals. ;) It would have done great if not banned. I don't think I'm familiar with Dec Burke or Amaran's Plight. Dimension Act is something I deleted but didn't make notes about, so I don't remember if I kind of liked it, hated it, or didn't listen to it at all.

Uh.... I don't see that in the fine print... :P But I will listen to it eventually, and if you really really want me to I'll even listen to one (just one!!) song with David Coverdale on vocals, since I know you wanted to send something, so choose wisely. This listening won't be happening for a while, so take your time, :P

Looking forward to the smack talk. :P Ooh, did you make an avatar bet with Kattelox? I remember him specifically calling out your song...

:bringiton:

Did I call out Stadler? I don't remember. If I did it was probably because I just don't like Genesis and wanted to score higher. Somehow I even fucked THAT up :lol

You didn't. That wasn't me. These are not the droids you're looking for.
-
Tied for 4th! OK, I will take that, not knowing Lethean or his tastes.

….Sent by TAC
You're really good at sending tracks that are just :metal :metal
Yes, that's what I do! ;D
-
Elite, Oceans of Slumber played A Path to Broken Stars at ProgPower. It sounded fantastic. :)
-
Hey Parama - you ready to send me a non-roulette album that you want me to listen to? :)
(Better late than never eh?)
And Elite - pick one album with a song from the roulette that you most want me to listen to, besides Semistereo, because I already have that one now. :)
-
Oh yeah I totally forgot lol
I'll try to think of something later tonight & then forget again
-
Oh yeah I totally forgot lol
Me too, haha!
I must have had some small trauma, becaude that one misstep in round 2 made me
Lose the roulette :p I’m glad you liked the Semistereo enough to actually get it! As for the other, you really should listen to an Agent Fresco record. You can’t go wrong with either of them, but their second album, Destrier, contains See Hell.
Oh, and since you seem to enjoy Katatonia, the Foscor album is a safe bet as well.
-
Actually I'm lazy go listen to my 2018 AOTY
Poly-math - House of Wisdom | We Are the Devil
It's real good instrumental prog. 4.5/10
I would suggest Wilderun but, growls
-
Wilderun - Sleep at the Edge of the Earth is a must listen though.
-
It absolutely is
Indiscipline even said ash memory was a masterpiece except he hated the growls :P
-
Here are some updates before I start listening to the new DT. Just thoughts, rather than a serious attempt at a review because that's not my strong point. :P
Thy Catafalque - Sgurr
Much like the song I received in the roulette, this album is just really cool. :metal It's all over the place, but in a good way; it doesn't feel incoherent. Maybe some of the spoken word parts could be a little shorter, but that's a minor thing. Otherwise, it keeps me guessing and it's unpredictable, but while sometimes that could be a miss, it just seems to work for me.
Thank You Scientist - Maps of Non-Existent Places
I like this a lot better than I thought I was going to. I enjoyed My Famed Disappearing Act, but didn't *love* it and wasn't completely sold on the singer. I'm still not, but I don't dislike him either - sometimes I really enjoy him and other times not. But the album is very good and I like the additional instruments too. I feel like they could be good live and I see that they'll be touring, so I'll probably try to check them out.
Agent Fresco - Destrier
This album has been a grower. At first I felt it was a bit of a letdown because none of it seemed to be as awesome as See Hell. But as I listened to it more, I began to latch on to different parts in different songs and now I really enjoy the whole thing and find myself wanting to play it. It's the album I've listened to most so far. Looking forward to hearing more from them.
Semistereo - Trans Earth Injection
As I'm writing this I realize that I need to listen to this album in a more focused way. I've listened to it a few times and liked it - I never wanted it to hurry up and end - but I was always doing something else and not paying close attention, so I don't remember individual songs except of course for The Search, which is awesome.
Rishloo - Living as Ghosts with Buildings as Teeth
I'm kind of struggling with this one. The last part of Landmines is just sooooo good but so far I haven't really connected with the rest of the album. I haven't played it as much so I'll give it some more time after I've been away from it, and we'll see if it might grow on me.

Yeah man, no shit.
