HARDEST.
RANKINGS.
EVER.
So much so that I'm bending the rules a bit. I hope you guys don't mind.

obscure: Sigh - The Transfiguration FearI've heard much of these guys from our very own Alex (lateralus). Never bothered to check them out though. Anyway, it was a really awesome and pretty wacky song. Everything odd in the song worked perfectly to make the song better and didn't seem like "LOOK AT US WE'RE STRANGE" at all. Just genuine, creative music. I loved it.

Nekov: Area - BrujoSo I've heard a few Area songs before. At first, I thought this was a cover of a National Health song and I'd have to reject you again, but it wasn't the case.
Anyway, they're a really good band in the RPI scene from what I've heard, but this might be my favourite song I've heard thus far from them. It had a very detached and odd feel, but I love it when it's done right, and it definitely was all the way through here.
DTVT: Spiral Architect - SpinningHeard much about these guys, never checked em out though. This song was insanely technical, which is pretty much the odd thing about it. It's all over the place. But it was entertaining as hell. The singer was kind of cliche, but he fit the song so it worked. Oh, and DAT BASS.
Some of the best bass playing I've heard. Left me very interested in the band.

ariich: Fantomas - Rosemary BabySo, Fantomas song #1 (BTW, the issue wasn't sending the same band in a round, I'm fine with that. It was just he send FNM last round and it scored 3 or more points). This song was creepy, and Patton was amazing. He's really a one-of-a-kind vocalist. I don't have much else to say, but I loved this.
Can you guess who send the other Fantomas song?
Ravenheart: Chiasm - EmbryonicYou forever increase my interest in the goth/industrial scene. This was a great song. She has a really...I really can't come up with an adjective for her voice, but it's great. I loved the songs use of samples as well.
kari: Mum - They Made Frogs Smoke Til They ExplodedSo at first I didn't think it was great, but it started building. And it really turned into a wonderful song. So now I guess I appreciate it's entirety. Really great song.
And yes, quite weird.
YtseBitsySpider: Ozric Tentacles - The Hidden StepOH GOD JORDAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CAN'T GIVE 4 SONGS 3 POINTS WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU
Well I really can't decide. It ain't possible. This song was awesome really. I'm slightly familiar with the Ozrics, but never went right in. This song had a really cool blend of styles all around. It wasn't super odd, but it had elements of oddness. Great song.

AcidRainLTE: Fantomas - The GodfatherOf course.
You guys sure love Patton. Well this one was a lot different from the other one, but maybe slightly less good. This one was more explosive and aggressive, but it was a really satisfying listen. Loved it.
Gorille: Limbo Central - FattoriaOH GOD NO ONES GETTING THE HUMILIATING 1 POINT SONG WHAT ARE YOU DOING I QUIT
Shut up. Anyways, this is like Satan's farm right here, and I dug it, don't get me wrong. In any other round this would've scored higher, but this just so happens to be the best round ever. Really interesting composition Marc, I'm interested in more for sure.
