Hey folks, it's been a little while since I've done this, and considering the state of the world right now, let's have some light fun! This time I'll try my best to keep things simple and properly explain my tastes since both are a constant source of pain for you, and myself as well :lol . I'm gonna do my best to keep a good pace with one week per round, and also have some hangmanen and the usual stuff. I'll keep signups open until Friday, so feel free to send right now.

Tastes
I'll try to explain what genres work for me, which don't, and why.
Dislikes
Power Metal, Black Metal, Death Metal, Grindcore, and most extreme forms of metal don't do it for me at all with a handful of exceptions. I just can't connect with any of these genres on an emotional level: the former is too cheesy, and the rest express angst or intense feelings in a way I don't like or are pretty repetitive. Most Prog Metal I just find uninteresting outside of some artists I'm fond of mostly for nostalgic reasons. I'm also not into Dad Rock although there are some fine exceptions, so be very careful with this :P
In general, anything that can be easily labeled as generic is a turn off for me, across all genres. Music that's too monotonous outside the electronic or ambient realms I don't dig that much. I also don't vibe that well with complex music that has no clear or simple motifs, like some jazz.
Likes
These days my tastes are all over the place but I'm really enjoying Electronic Music, Trip Hop, Synthpop, Industrial, Art Pop, Drone / Dark Ambient, Alternative Metal, even some Gothic, Drone, Doom Metal, and experimental stuff in general. I've been getting into Hip Hop and some Jazz lately. Metalcore and Hardcore Punk are stuff I want to get into more, just beware it doesn't get too chaotic like TDEP most of the time. Post-Rock I love some although I'm quite picky as most of it I find a bland copy of Explosions In The Sky, which I'm not very fond of.
I love creative, original music with a lot of personality, whether it's a simple pop song, or a crazy experimental noise piece. I've found myself digging (and also writing (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCysFQjTALaMu6r6eV9z_ujg)) some of the later, but I prefer it when it's balanced with memorable melodic lines. Many of my favorite songs/bands ever walk this fine line between being innovative/experimental/weird and highly emotional/catchy/melodic, like Nine Inch Nails, Ulver, David Bowie's Blackstar, etc. But I also love songs that are very strong on only side, with Anathema and Godspeed You Black Emperor! being masters of their craft on very different ways.

Banned list
It'd be way too long, I've got more than 1.4k records listed on my Rateyourmusic profile, so just look there to see what's banned (any released I've rated, and any artist with a release I've rated 4 stars or higher are a no-no) and what I've been listening to lately. Anything from the wishlist is fair game. If you're unsure if a certain song / artists is allowed (e.g. haven't rated it on RYM or was sent in a previous roulette), send me a PM with all the submissions you'd be interested in using and I'll tell you if they're safe to send.

There's an EP round? Whoo boy, here we go again... You sure you're gonna be able to handle that this time? :lol
More rounds than I was expecting, too. I'll have to look through your RYM and come up with a battle plan. :corn

If 90's is Fogey music then I'm in trouble. :lol

You're free to send Winger tho :metal

Sure!
-
Yes please.
-
How strict are you gonna be for deciding if something counts for the prog / extreme music themes? :P
-
Glad to see another roulette on the docket. I'll follow this one, but I'm not going to participate. I think our tastes have trended far enough apart that I don't have much to send you.
-
Awesome, I'll have to dig up some of my obscure stuff.
Just to make sure, would you accept things in other languages or English only?
-
And no Dad rock??
You're free to send Winger tho :metal
I'm free to stick a needle in my ear too. Although it would give me something to use for the extreme round.

Not too strict since I don't expect those themes to do very well ;D

Any language is fine
Yes please.

There's still a bunch of big names I haven't checked out or only partially tbh, both old and new.
Sacul, how would you describe extreme? I mean, everything you listen to seems extreme to me. :lol
Basically anything at a super high tempo, with tons of blast beats, shrieks/growls, super distorted guitars, etc. Pretty much anything you'd label black / death metal, or that'd end up in "core" I guess. I was mostly thinking in metal subgenres but something like power electronics / harsh noise also counts as well :P

Six Roaming Owls, yes or no?

I just went through my Spotify library and picked some of the most fucked up things I have, and I still don't think it's bad enough for this roulette. :lol
But Kingshmegland, if you ever decide to run a roulette, I'm ready! :lol :lol
-
For the long song round, can I send "God Is a Systems Architect and the Multiverse Is an Infinitely Recursive Architectural Simulator" by NǽnøĉÿbbŒrğ VbëřřĦōlökäävsŦ? It's only 7 hours 21 minutes long. :corn

It's been a while! I'll give it a go if you'll have me :D

Hey, I'm in if you'll have me. I haven't gone on RYM yet, but I'll find something.
-
I'm in! I didn't read the thread though. :lol Thanks for the PM too, might've missed this one.
How long should the long songs be for the optional round? I want to send everything (except EP) at once to see if it's available.

Hell yeah :metal

Mnnnn I think I'll put a hard limit at around 25 mins? For the sake of being able to complete that round in time and my own sanity :lol
-
I mean like what's the minimum length? 10 minutes? 15 minutes?
-
Oh forgot that part :lol. Yeah 10 mins at least, I rarely listen to songs beyond 6 mins these days so that should do it.
-
Cool! I think I won't send at once after all because I might need to save some bands for my EP if somehow I'll end up in Top 5, but I'll still give you the bands today so you can tell me if they're available.
I've got pop, blues, post-rock, psychedelic, death metal and some acoustic stuff lined up. It's going to be like Mike Portnoy describing Black Clouds & Silver Linings.
-
It's been years since I've done a roulette but I'd love to sign up if there are still spots.

Just so I'm following right, any artist with 4 or higher rating is banned, or any song from an album that's rated on RYM?
-
Don't have a lot of time and didn't put as much time into Tims as I wanted but your dislikes means this would certainly be a fun challenge. I'm in if you'll have me Sacul?
-
how long do long songs have to be btw
-
Anything under 10 minutes I believe.
-
Just so I'm following right, any artist with 4 or higher rating is banned, or any song from an album that's rated on RYM?
Both, I'll clear it up on the OP.

hmm, aight.
i sent two submissions but i honestly might change the second one, the first one is good tho i think but i remembered something i couldn't use in ariich's roulette that isn't banned here as far as i can tell so just giving things a once over and then :corn
btw just a heads-up that it's pretty much suicidal to not go for the bonus themes considering they're 1 whole point in a 5 point roulette, so...
update: yeah definitely doing that
-
Sure, you're still in time to resend.
I don't expect the songs on the bonus themes to score any higher than a 3 at most on their own tbh so it may not be worth the risk :P
-
Resent my list.

Just to clarify, we don’t have to send all rounds at once, right?

Nah, I'm just crazy :lol

So if it’s on your RYM but not rated, it’s fair game? Some stuff comes up as on your wish list. Is that stuff you’ve heard before?
-

That's only for people on acid.

Although I haven't checked any of Saculs links. May really be regretting it.

Yes and no. Anything on the wishlist just means I'm interested on listening to it but haven't given it a spin yet, so it's available for sending.

Do the scores for the bonus rounds still cap at 5? Or could one theoretically get a 6 with the bonus point? :corn
-
They're a bonus on top of the regular score, so yeah you could get a 6 but that ain't happening :P
Also wow, almost everybody has sent now, just waiting on 2 more. There's no rush (they suck :neverusethis:), deadline's on Sunday.

The Batman reference?
OK,
For years, everytime I mentioned something derogatory about Power Windows, Kingshmegland would have a response in literally minutes. Didn't matter the time of day. So it basically evolved as a Batsignal to Kingshmegland.
As you can see above, I posted it randomly, and he was ON IT IN FOUR MINUTES!! :lol :lol

Your my drunk Commissioner Gordon. Talking nonsense. You put out the "Ass Signal." How can I miss it. :lol

4 minutes. That's all I need with my wife as well.

I'd like to join if I still have time. Your tastes seem to be up my alley, although it's a challenge to find stuff you aren't already familiar with. A couple questions:
What is the length criteria for the "long song" category?
Are albums/artists on your wish list fair game, or should they be avoided?
-
Regarding the length for long songs:
how long do long songs have to be btw
Between 10 and 25 minutes.
-
Are albums/artists on your wish list fair game, or should they be avoided?
So if it’s on your RYM but not rated, it’s fair game? Some stuff comes up as on your wish list. Is that stuff you’ve heard before?
Yes and no. Anything on the wishlist just means I'm interested on listening to it but haven't given it a spin yet, so it's available for sending.

Thanks guys for answering, I've updated the OP with that info.

Thanks; I tried to spot those answers in the thread but hadn't seen them. This will be fun!

Last day to sign up, folks! Invite your friends and family, this will be a wild ride :2metal:

Kinda weird, but in a good way?
Not a big fan of the vocals but the music is pretty nice
Excellent groove at first, then goes to unexpected places
Pretty lovely

Not sure what to make of it
Vocals are a little generic but the music is nice
Kinda atmospheric and with a lovely vibe
Vocals are alright, but I fear I'm not connecting with them
Damn, forgot to check out this album, this is cool
Quite more engaging than what I was expecting
Technically impressive, but is it engaging?
Kinda of all over the place, but enjoyable
It kind of drags a bit, but it's enjoyable
Nice and groovy

They've been around for 12 years, with the core of the band (guitar, bass, drummer, keyboard) together for ten,with different vocalist. There style is all over the board, some is heavier than Mindset, some is straight up J-pop, but one thing they deliver constantly is pure energy. They're such a fun band.

Cyril
The Paper Chase You're One of Them Aren't You?
First impression: Well of course you'd send me this
The moment the first dissonant notes appeared I immediately recognized this as Cyrilcore, and I knew I was in for a ride :lol . Yeah I'm not into this at all - I don't mind some dissonance in my music but I definitely prefer it used sparingly. Here it's all over the place and it's kind of a chore to get through despite the song being 3 minutes long. Sure there are some more melodic sections but they're still on the edge of being a little dissonant so it's a tense listen all the way through.
2/5
Puppies_On_Acid
Vulture Industries A Knife Between Us
First impression: Kinda weird, but in a good way?
For some reason a lot of avant-garde metal seems to have a similar vibe that I can't properly describe other than "weird and quirky" or "dark circus music". Which is totally fine but I've found it to be more miss than hit for me. And that seems to be the case here. It's a unique and interesting track for sure but it's not connecting with me on an emotional level. For instance I find the chorus to be alright but the drumming there just puzzles me - their intensity doesn't match the rest of the music that well. Maybe it's that I just prefer double kicks and blast beats at the climax of songs, used sparingly. And the rest of the song is just fine. Welp.
3/5
TAC
Cirrus Bay Eden
First impression: Not sure what to make of it
Now I've made up my mind and... yeah this is just alright. It has some prog vibes all over the place and while that's fine, I feel they can't escape their influences completely and end up sounding quite generic. You said it had a smooth indie feel to it and I guess it has a bit of that, but I'm definitely not an indie kind of guy :P . Mostly because I find a lot of indie music to be very similar to each other, and it's not a sound I'm in love with. So, back to the song: it's quite innofensive overall. And that's ok but not what I'm looking for.
3/5
Evermind
Kalandra Brave New World
First impression: Vocals are a little generic but the music is nice
I don't get how this is pop other than being sort of catchy I guess? It's feels more like the soundtrack to a fantasy TV series imo, and that's cool. But this particular track isn't doing it for me. While it's nice, I find it kinda monotonous and a little repetitive, and the melodies are not particularly memorable. And yeah the vocals aren't bad or anything, but they completely lack any character to make them stand out from many other similar bands out there.
3/5
ReaperKK
Jakub Zytecki Sunflower
First impression: Technically impressive, but is it engaging?
My main issue with these kind of virtuosos, even our beloved DT at times, is that their music is so intricate (and likely a great composition!) that it ends up going the other way around and feeling like a wallpaper. While I love the atmosphere created here and the use of synths, it's the main guitar playing that goes over so many ideas it feels more like the guy just practicing his scales rather than an actual motif. I'd rather have Gilmour play one note and tear me apart than have Steve Vai play a thousand and make me feel nothing.
3/5
Wolfking
Warning Watching from a Distance
First impression: It kind of drags a bit, but it's enjoyable
I don't have much experience with doom metal but what I look for in my slow metal is kinda sort of like this, but not exactly. Yeah it's pretty dark and depressing, but not as heavy as I'd like. I want more intensity and bruality from the guitars most of all. What's most important, I don't find the main vocal melodies that interesting tbh, and the chord progressions are just alright. And it's a tad too long imo.
3/5
Buddyhunter1
Greet Death Strange Days
First impression: Not a big fan of the vocals but the music is pretty nice
The vocals took a little to get used to but they've grown on me a bit. The music overall make me think of a modern Smashing Pumpkins, it has that similar sound on the distorted guitars. But it's also balanced by these nice calm sections. The chorus is pretty catchy although I feel they repeat the line "And now all we seem to love is the darkness" a bit too much throughout the song. It's a pretty simple track overall, with the last chorus having a bit more punch to it but nothing very climatic either.
3.5/5
kingshmegland
Rise Twain Prayers
First impression: Pretty lovely
I definitely like the piano-driven atmosphere here at the beginning and when the band comes in. The guitars remind me a bit of Gilmour's playing, which is always welcomed. Vocals are fine, but I'm afraid that what's preventing me from connecting more with this is that the melodies and chord progressions feel a little generic. I wouldn't say they lack personality, but they don't have a very strong one to me. Which is a shame because otherwise I'd be all over this for sure.
3.5/5
HOF
Anthonie Tonnon Leave Love Out of This.
First impression: Kinda atmospheric and with a lovely vibe
I feel similar with this piece as I did with the Rise Twian submission: it's pretty well-written and quite melodic, but I'm not fully connecting with it but it's so close. Kinda wished the melodic lines here were a bit more original, or with a stronger character. I like how it goes a bit electronic on the second half though, it works really well. I think that, while not winning me over, this song is a step in the right direction, so I'm curious to see what else you've got for the rest of the roulette.
3.5/5
Tomislav95
Dead Letter Circus Here We Divide
First impression: Vocals are alright, but I fear I'm not connecting with them
Yeah this kind of 2010s alt rock is fine and quite well composed. But I fear the singer is overdoing it and leaving little room for the music to shine on its own instead of being background sound. And when there are some instrumental sections, there's not that much going on. But at least the song is sort of catchy and has just enough personality to not bore me, but not to wow me.
3.5/5
Stadler
Aerosmith Beyond Beautiful
First impression: Quite more engaging than what I was expecting
I'll admit that intro had me more excited than the whole song ended up being but since I had very low expectations overall, I'm pleased by this song. It's pretty catchy and straightforward, but there's also some clunkiness in the production - the beginning and ending of the first chorus are very abrupt for some reason. I don't have much to say about it other than I wished they had really gone into what they hinted at in the intro, those mysterious sounds felt promising.
3.5/5
Elite
Tigran Hamasyan Song for Melan and Rafik
First impression: Kinda of all over the place, but enjoyable
I had already checked out one album by this guy but I've been very aware of this record for a while, just that I never checked it out. It's definitely a very unique style I'll give you that, and it's quite an enjoyable listen. But I feel it might be a bit too much for me, not that it's overwhelming, but there's something about the motifs that doesn't end up grabbing me the way I'd like to. Maybe because it comes and goes so quickly? I dunno :lol .
3.5/5
TheSoylentMan
Qwel & Maker Long Walkers
First impression: Nice and groovy
Mmnn I always have a hard time with hip hop: old school stuff doesn't work at all for me other than DJ Shadow, but I absolutely love some contemporary albums by Kendrick Lamar, Run the Jewels, clipping., and even some Death Grips. And this song I fear it sits somewhere in between, with some cool grooves for sure, but I realize I prefer a more daring, experimental edge on my hip hop. The production and melodies are nice, and the spoken words are always cool though.
3.5/5
Vmadera00
Public Service Broadcasting Gagarin
First impression: Damn, forgot to check out this album, this is cool
Ok for some reason I thought I had checked out this record after ariich sent me Sputnik on my previous roulette, but seems I didn't :lol . Yeah this sounds promising, I don't know how to describe it other than uuhhh funky trumpets and guitars mixed with radio broadcast recordings of the space race. And it works quite well! It's a unique concept and sound, and quite catchy. Quite eager to delve more into this tbh.
4/5
lonestar
Gacharic Spin MindSet
First impression: Excellent groove at first, then goes to unexpected places
Definitely my favorite track of the round, what a banger! I love how it starts with this crazy groove on the bass, then the vocals come in and despite not understanding a single word, they're pretty catchy. The synths are hinted at here and there and I love their sound. While all of this would be enough to rate it highly, it's the crazy instrumental section at the middle that gives an unusual but very interesting break and prevents the song from feeling monotonous. It's such a high energy piece and I definitely vibe with it - the musicianship is excellent but never goes overboard for the sake of it, it's so fun to follow along with what the drums and the piano are doing.

Was hoping for a bit better, maybe I should have gone with a different song. You'd probably like the full album, there's some other really great songs and a good amount of variety too, especially since the band has two different vocalists who contrast each other really well!

Not bad! I'll note the rest of that album has a good bit of electronic type stuff on it. Might have been better off with a couple of the other tracks on there, but that's just the one that connected with me the most. The whole album is wonderful though and you should definitely check it out. A lot of the songs are more story based than this one, and he writes about some really unusual but interesting topics.
Also, sent!

Hell yeah!!! So glad that one clicked with you, it was my most played song on Spotify last year, and for good reason. While the girls are very diverse in style over the years, one thing that's consistent is their tight musicianship and ability to write brilliant hooks.

Let me guess...she plays the HAMmond organ?
:icy:
Seriously though, put your preconceptions aside and check the track out, you might be impressed...
https://youtu.be/QmL0V667QzI (https://youtu.be/QmL0V667QzI)
I promise it's not a Rick roll, though I was tempted
That song is seriously cool and fun :metal They are all super talented too. I will have to dig into their music further.

The joy on their faces in the video gets you in a great vibe too.

Public Service Broadcasting are great BTW. Prefer Every Valley to The Race for Space, but both albums are really good. You’d probably like their latest, Bright Magic, too.

lonestar Cool but I feel it'd work better in context
Pretty chill
Epic in sound, but maybe a bit too long
A bit different from what the title suggested
Definitely dad music

Alright, here they are. Bear in mind I haven't settled on a firm score yet for some of your submissions, as some have been growing on me, so I'm being quite conservative on these. Also, these do not include the bonus point, so it's a raw score for each submission - else pretty much everyone would get a ^ and these would be pointless :P

What's the point of bonus points if everyone gets them?
You tell me, it was a way to make some people send risky choices but didn't think everyone would be on board. Now I'm dreading the prog round, oh boy :lol
Will I get a point if I send something proggy but not exactly prog? :neverusethis:
I guess? I'd have to listen to it to know for sure if it's prog enough :lol
honestly i think you're actually gonna like what i have planned for the prog round, which i cannot say for most of the other rounds :neverusethis:
The only prog song I'm looking forward to listening to then :corn :corn :corn
Ok, I'll start the writeups for the results, but they'll likely be out either quite late today, or tomorrow morning.

Elite
Pat Metheny Unquity Road
First impression: Mmmmnnnnnn
I'm still unsure of this one a bit :lol. I kinda had more hopes about it tbh, but to me it feels like some pretty meandering improvisation, and not a particularly interesting one. And although it's pretty short, it feels quite long for what it is. I know it has a motif over which they're jamming over and there's some structure to the song, but it doesn't feel like that at all, and not in a good way.
2.5 + 1 = 3.5
kingshmegland
GTR When the Heart Rules the Mind
First impression: A little cheesy
Yeah I'm not a big fan of cheese in general, I just can't stand much of it. And while this track has a bit of it, it's the rest that doesn't convince me much. It feels like quite generic AOR to me, which baffles me a bit considering the musicians involved. I guess it was their dream project or something. But I'm afraid it's not quite my thing. It's not bad or anything, just not quite what I'm looking for in older music at all.
3 + 1 = 4
Stadler
Red Rider Lunatic Fringe
First impression: Definitely dad music
Yeah I'm starting to think that AOR and similar music is not my thing :P. I mean this is a fine track, but it feels like pretty much any other song from 1981 I can remember. And even then, it's not that interesting. The guitars started promising something epic, and I guess it kind of delivers, but it's just not connecting with me. And just when things were getting quite interesting, it ends. Quite abruptly. Oh well.
3 + 1 = 4
Evermind
Scorpions Yellow Raven
First impression: Expected something wilder but this is cool
For some reason I had asociated Scorpions to some banging rock, but this is a lot mellower than that. Which is fine, I love me some chill music, and sometimes rock bands deliver surprinsingly good ones. Which is kind of not the case here, sadly. It's not boring, but not terribly exciting imo - the main melody is fine but man those electric guitars sound pretty sad :lol. I was expecting it to pick up at some point, but it never did, and then it just ended on a fade almost out of nowhere. I really wanted to like this more, but I couldn't bring myself to. It kind of got a little worse with every listen, sorry.
3 + 1 = 4
Vmadera00
Toto Georgy Porgy
First impression: Pretty chill
I'm not familiar with Toto outside of Africa of course, so this was interesting. A chill track about kissing girls and making them cry - RYM gives it a subgenre of "yacht rock" and it feels fitting :lol. It's a cool song, has some pretty catchy melodies, and the insturmentation is varied. Kinda wished the composition was more dynamic, as it feels a bit monotonous.
3.5 + 1 = 4.5
Buddyhunter1, Tomislav95
Frank Zappa Peaches En Regalia
First impression: Quite less chaotic than expected
I'm taking a class on composition and we were studying sample-based music, so I was shown a bit of Zappa's Jazz from Hell. It was quite an intense experience to say the least :lol. So listening to this it was quite different. I like how he uses so many different sounds with the same motif throughout the song, there's definitely a sense of humour and playfulness here that I like. It's a fun little track, but I feel it's a bit too short despite being packed with lots of ideas. Maybe I'll check out the album anyway since it's so iconic, and I'm just curious since I've never delved into Zappa.
3.5 + 1 = 4.5
HOF
The Blue Nile Over the Hillside
First impression: Pretty chill atmosphere
This the track I really wanted to like more than I ended up doing, particularly after that very promising beginning. I love the atmosphere it creates here, and the sound they've got going on. I thought it'd end up building to a pretty cool climax, but it just kind of stays on the same vibe throughout the whole song. Which is fine, reminds me of David Sylvian's Secrets of the Beehive, but I feel it kind of lacks the dynamics that album has throughout. I just find the vocals to be quite monotonous tbh, maybe some variety there would have elevated the whole thing a bit.
3.5 + 1 = 4.5
TheSoylentMan
This Mortal Coil Song to the Siren
First impression: Pretty atmospheric
I've been quite eager to listen to this album and Cocteau Twins for a while, as they seem up my alley. Well this track was a little disappointing tbh. The singing is great, the atmosphere lovely, but man it's very repetitive and almost monotonous in a way. Which kind of drags the whole thing a bit, despite being a pretty short track.
3.5 + 1 = 4.5
TAC
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band Long Haired Music
First impression: A bit different from what the title suggested
From the song name I figured this would be something a little more like uuhhh freaking Winger :metal. But in all seriousness, this was quite pleasant. I like the varied instrumentation, from the brass section to the keys. Lyrics are pretty silly but quite catchy I've gotta admit. It's a fun little song all in all.
3.5 + 1 = 4.5
ReaperKK
Dire Straits Wild West End
First impression: Dunno what the fuzz is about, this is fine
Yeah dunno what Tomi said about someone sending this track, it's alright. It's definitely USA dad music. A pretty relaxed and chill track overall. I like the balance between the vocals and the guitars, and the countryside vibes. There's not much more to it, but it's enjoyable enough for me.
3.5 + 1 = 4.5
wolfking
Daryl Hall & John Oates I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)
First impression: Didn't know what to expect but this is nice
Quite a chill track, I like the drum machine here and the ocassional sax. It's got quite a nice but calm groove. Kinda makes me wish the bass was mixed higher, I can barely notice it. The vocals are pretty catchy and ocassional harmonies are well done. I like it for what it is, although I wished the song had a bit more dynamics to it but that's just me.
3.5 + 1 = 4.5
Cyril
Stevie Wonder Living for the City
First impression: Better written than expected
For some reason I had thought of Stevie Wonder as a more pop-oriented writer, since I'm not familiar with his work at all. Well this is quite pleasing! Kind of a constantly flowing song instead of following a super rigid structure for the most part, I like it. It's also got a very interesting use of sampling featuring a black man getting arrested for seemingly nothing, so it's definitely a very political piece. And the contrast of the bleak lyrics with the groovy and fun music works quite well.
3.5 + 1 = 4.5
lonestar
The Who I've Had Enough
First impression: Cool but I feel it'd work better in context
I've liked some The Who tracks here and there but never gave this album a chance. Gotta say, this track is pretty cool. In particular I love the breakdowns (or is it the chorus?) with the pianos and the synths, singing "Love rain on me". The rest of the song is has pretty cool riffs and switched between the acoustic and electric guitars often, sometimes with both at the same time. I like the narrative nature of this song and I'm curious to see how it fits on the album as a whole.
4 + 1 = 5
Puppies_On_Acid
The Alan Parsons Project Silence And I
First impression: Epic in sound, but maybe a bit too long
I like how symphonic and grandiose this song is. It kind of reminds me of some epic movie soundtrack. At first I'll admit I wasn't quite keen on this track, mostly since my previous experiences with Alan Parsons' music had been underwhelming. But this is a little different, it's quite a journey and a pretty enjoyable one. Maybe it's a bit too long? Or maybe I just get tired easily these days. Anyway, now I'm curious about this album, maybe this one will work for me.

Well I’ll take the = over the down arrow. Rich had a similar reaction to Paul Buchanan’s vocal delivery when I sent this in his roulette, which remains a bit of a mystery to me, but there are TBN songs with more dynamic vocal melodies than this one I suppose. I guess it’s the lower register he sings in, but there is just so much expression in his voice. One my favorite singers for sure. For me, this is one of those songs that is absolutely perfect, and I wouldn’t want it to go anywhere else or do anything more than it does. You’re just sort of suspended in the moment with it. Tremendous mood setter for the album as the opening track.
Sending something next that might be a little risky, but maybe it will surprise.

I mean, if I try to be fair, the performance is excellent and it's probably a very interesting piece from a music theory point of view. Yet I think that song is music for musicians, that only people dedicated to the craft understand and dig - in contrast, I only have a very basic understanding of harmony I've learned in the last few months, so even if you explained to me what makes it awesome, I doubt I'd be able to understand. Thus, the score only reflects my own pure enjoyment of the piece as I can understand it :P

Dire Straits Wild West End

Yeah dunno what Tomi said about someone sending this track, it's alright.

No no, it's a very good song. But I think you'd like something less traditional more. For example, something off Love over gold.
And about Zappa, definitely check Hot rats out, it's pretty accessible. One of my all time favorites.

Lol I was just checking Sacul's RYM and he rated Love over gold few days ago :biggrin:
And sent.

Evermind sent me Telegraph Road a few roulettes ago and it was great. Then I realized I had never rated the album on RYM, oops.

That's the whole point of the bonus point :neverusethis:
Basically anything at a super high tempo, with tons of blast beats, shrieks/growls, super distorted guitars, a wall of sound, etc. Pretty much anything you'd label black / death metal, or that'd end up in "core" I guess. I was mostly thinking in metal subgenres but something like power electronics / harsh noise also counts as well.
I would like to see an definition of prog :P
Any classic prog rock from the 70s to the new prog acts of the 90s onwards, and any artists influenced by any of those. I make the distinction between prog (simply imitating and drawing heavily from their influences) and progressive (doing something quite different and having no other genre fit them). That round is geared towards the former, which I'm not a big fan of despite being on a DT forum :P

Sia - Chandelier (Piano Version) (BOOOOOO)
Why the boo? :lol
1. original version is really good
2. also sia sucks frick sia all my homies hate sia
The piano version is far more powerful. Plus, as with most pop songs, I don't like the manufactured sounds of the original.
I had literally never heard of her until about 6 weeks ago.

Any classic prog rock from the 70s to the new prog acts of the 90s onwards, and any artists influenced by any of those. I make the distinction between prog (simply imitating and drawing heavily from their influences) and progressive (doing something quite different and having no other genre fit them). That round is geared towards the former, which I'm not a big fan of despite being on a DT forum :P
Oh I have many of those.
But by that definition my long extreme prog song is just a long song :P

Thinking about the next round, I'm thinking the song I submitted is not necessarily "Extreme" but I'll stick with it because it's a damm good song.
-
I'm struggling to pick a song because I am not a fan of extreme music. I like blast beats and growls in songs, just not full tilt throughout the whole song. My ears get weary.
-
Do WE define "extreme" or is there a more universal definition of "extreme" that we're using?
-
Basically anything at a super high tempo, with tons of blast beats, shrieks/growls, super distorted guitars, a wall of sound, etc. Pretty much anything you'd label black / death metal, or that'd end up in "core" I guess. I was mostly thinking in metal subgenres but something like power electronics / harsh noise also counts as well.
What I sent is labelled as Technical Death Metal so we will see :corn

Puppies_On_Acid
Secret Chiefs 3 Combat for the Angel
First impression: This song meanders
The beginning is quite promising, as it feels we're about to embark on quite an interesting journey - I like the motifs introduced here and the mix of heavy and unconventional (middle eastern?) instrumentation. Then we get a violin (I think?) solo, which I thought was cool! And then it continued for a little while, ok. And then for another little while, uuhh. And on and on for minutes. And while it's a fine solo with pretty interesting sections, it feels both disconnected from the rest of the song and it takes too damn long - it takes more than half of the runtime. Shame, it had some pretty cool ideas.
3/5
Cyril
Emily Scott Robinson Let 'Em Burn
First impression: This song is lovely
Yeah this is a pretty simple but nice piano ballad. It's got the lovely melodies I like, the singing and lyrics are emotional... yet it's short of resonating with me. It kind of lacks something to make it distinct from the many emotional piano ballads out there. It's pretty well executed for sure, just wished it stood out a bit more.
3.5/5
Elite
Sungazer Electro
First impression: This song glitches
Mnnnn glitchy music can be quite hit or miss with me - sometimes it's too much and I get bored. This however is quite a cool balance of glitchiness and some jazz fusion. The sax is quite the highlight of the song, but sadly it only lasts for too little. The rest of the track has some cool electronic sections I quite enjoy, but I feel as a whole, it's a bit overwhelming. The pacing is quite fast and despite being 4 minutes, it ends up quite quickly. It feels like there's tons of really good ideas here that they couldn't completely flesh out and just kept throwing new ones one after the other. So it's a bit of a mess, but en enjoyable one nevertheless.
3.5/5
TAC
Sia Chandelier - Piano Version
First impression: This song is emotional
I'll admit I was familiar with the original pop version - it was all over the place a few years ago back when I was in high school. I didn't love it back then and kinda forgot about it, so I decided to allow it since I didn't know I was familiar with it until I gave it a listen. Went with the piano version as you seemed to prefer it, and that was the right choice tbh. I think the singing is a bit over the top for my taste and it makes more sense with the pop sounds, but it's not that big of a deal here. It's an alright song to me, kinda wished I could emotionally connect to it, but it's an easy listen at least.
3.5/5
ReaperKK
Akord Ethereality
First impression: This song is alright
I don't have strong opinions on this one - it feels kinda generic, with strong influences from alt rock, and bands like Haken and Porcupine Tree at display. And while there's nothing wrong with that, I tend to prefer artists with more unique sounds. It's a nicely written and executed song, an easy listen for sure - I just don't find it particularly stands out.
3.5/5
lonestar
Senri Kawaguchi Blessed Rain After the Drought
First impression: This song is a wallpaper
Sometimes with such complex writing and extraordinary musicianship, like DT's last few albums for instance, I wonder how such music can end up going the other way around and end up becoming... a wallpaper. Something that's kind of there, but that's not resonating with me at least. I had something similar happen to me with this song - I really wanted to love it, and while the individual pieces are very cool, it's the sum of its parts that's lacking for me. It's a coherent piece for sure, but I also feel these ideas go nowhere.
3.5/5
HOF
Sweet Billy Pilgrim Stars Spill out of Cups
First impression: This song is comfy
Indie music has always been a tough sale for me, as I find much of it very similar to each other, and it's not a sound I'm crazy about to not mind. So this is not that different in terms of personality, but I'll admit it's quite a nicely written track. I liked the buildup it was happening around the middle but then it kind of dissipated and went back to the previous section just like that. Oh well.
3.5/5
Tomislav95
mewithoutYou In a sweater poorly knit
First impression: This song is grand
I've got no clue on why I thought this was a post-rock band, maybe it was their weird name :lol. This is a lot closer to indie rock, and it reminds me a bit of early Arcade Fire but without quite the emotional punch tbh. It's a lovely song for sure, and I like their sound, particularly the inclusion of an arp. I guess it's just the songwriting that falls a bit short to me - it's just a pretty simple track.
3.5/5
TheSoylentMan
Three Trapped Tigers Engrams
First impression: This song is spacey
I quite like the ideas on this song - kinda synthwave, kinda math rock, with plenty of energy. Sounds pretty good on paper, and the execution if rather nice actually. It's a pretty cool instrumental piece, I just feel that it's probably a bit too hectic for my taste. Maybe I'd have liked a bit more dynamics to it, to balance that crazy energy.
3.5/5
wolfking
The Tea Party Psychopomp
First impression: This song explodes
I really like how this song mixes the lo-fi electronics and the rock elements. There's a nice duality with the dark tone of the vocals and the hopeful little toy piano. The production might be a bit muddy but it kinda works here. I also love how it builds up and then explodes with quite some intensity. So far each song you've sent me has been better than the previous one, so I'm curious to see what you've got for the next round.
4/5
Evermind
Beth Hart Fire on the Floor
First impression: This song is fire
Dunno why you thought it'd be a meandering track - it's quite a straightforward breakup song. And a pretty well written one! It kinda reminds me of the Beth Gibbons Out of Season album, but in a blues rock vibe. The singing is intense, the guitars are emotional, and the climax is pretty cool. It's not an inventive track by any means but it's an excellent execution of the ideas on display here. Sometimes that's enough for me.
4/5
Stadler
Gerry Rafferty Baker Street
First impression: This song saxs
Didn't expect to end up liking this track as much as I did when it started, but when the sax came in, I knew this was gonna be a blast. That repeating section is just so good whenever it appears, it's so grand and climatic. The rest of the song is fine and enjoyable, I quite like the strings on the background. Kinda wished the sax was a bit more present throughout the whole song. I also like the guitar solo here. Pretty cool stuff.
4/5
Vmadera00
Mago De Oz El Cantar de la Luna Oscura
First impression: Ésta canción entretiene
Alright, I was expecting this to be some pretty generic power metal but it's actually very well written rock with uuhh Celtic influences? And some slight Spanish folk flavors maybe? Anyway, it's quite an interesting mixture of sounds and it works quite well. It's pretty fun, it kinda reminds me a bit of some latin rock from around here.
4/5
Buddyhunter1
Carpenter Brut Looking For Tracy Tzu
First impression: This song fucks
Ok this is almost cheating, knowing I absolutely love the Hotline Miami soundtracks, and some tracks from this album were on them. Guess it's shame on me for not checking this out earlier, because it's a banger. It starts as a pretty standard but nevertheless very cool synthwave track, but then right in the middle it becomes a little noisier and the beats hit harder. Really awesome vibe from there on, I think this would have fitted the games quite well. Awesome song.
4.5/5
kingshmegland
Ben Folds Five Song for the Dumped
First impression: This song is spicy
I didn't expect to have so much fun from a piano-driven song, but it's such a well-written piece I can't help but vibe with it. The singing is simple but catchy, the bass grungry, and the aforementioned pianos, well, just nuts. Drums are alright. It has a great balance of instrumental sections and singing, and plenty of hooks. Pretty funny lyrics as well.

Nice. That whole Tea Party album is experimental and just beautiful. I think you'd dig it sacul. No idea on the next round, I'll send tomorrow if that's not too late.
-
Wasn't sure how my song was going to do but I'll take that :metal
-
OK, I sent a song.
But now I have to figure out the next 4 rounds. I have no clue.
-
I knew sending something with an Indy angle might be a risk, but that turned out well enough. I really love the songwriting by Sweet Billy Pilgrim. Wouldn’t necessarily say they are your typical Indy band. More of an art pop/modern prog band with an Indy overtone (they were briefly on K-Scope for a few albums and even covered a Steven Wilson song). But their first album which that song is from was more on the Indy side of things.
I still have to decide on what to send next. Will get you something tonight or tomorrow.
-
Eh, I kind of see what you're saying... I've had plenty of stuff that while I recognize its brilliance, I just don't really like it. King Crimson comes to mind.
Anyway, sending brutal metal next...
-
Back down to the bottom... :jamaritard:
-
Sent!

:metal :metal :metal
Just what I needed. Hope I don't somehow tank in the next few rounds. :biggrin: Definitely listen to all of that album; it's a behemoth, but it's undoubtedly one of the best synthwave has to offer. You've been missing out!
I also thought you'd like that Sungazer song a bit more, but if you're not super into the glitchy sound you'd probably prefer their full-length LP they put out last year. It's less glitchy and is more atmospheric, at the cost of being a bit less energetic. I was going to send Cytherean, the last track from it. That song's absolutely beautiful.
Sent for the extreme round. If you accept my first choice I can't wait to see how confused everyone will be. :lol :corn

Nah, actually I'm saving this one (https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/bull-of-heaven/210-like-a-wall-in-which-an-insect-lives-and-gnaws/) for the "long songs" round.
Starts off a bit slow, but gets pretty good around year 2, day 216, hour 14, minute 23. I really got into the vibe for a good 3-4 months, but unfortunately the album starts to lose its focus towards the beginning of the fourth year, and the last 2.5 years are rather forgettable and dull. I even left the house to run some errands for a few hours toward the end. Overall, a decent effort, but a bit unfocused and drawn out. I feel Bull of Heaven could have sufficiently expressed their ideas within a four-year time span. Somewhat of a tough nut to crack; for now I'll give this 2 stars, but it certainly has the potential to grow on me with repeated listens.

Rivers Of Nihl

Motorhead
Probably the only extreme band in Stadler's collection.
I kinda like that Xantrochroid album duology and I didn't want to think too much for the extreme round. This song isn't that extreme actually.

Orgasmatron
That’s a great song. Might be my fave Motörhead track honestly. At least he didn’t send One Track Mind.

I just did a listen through the songs in this round.
For the most part, there's a lot of great stuff here. Although most of it I've heard before. I don't know if I'd call McStine and Minneman, Motorhead, or A7PHA extreme. Also WTF was that Buddyhunter :lol super noisy rock with 808 drops everywhere :P

yeah this was the round i did pretty good in hangmanen despite going out of my way to never guess a letter, as a bit

Power Metal, Black Metal, Death Metal, Grindcore, and most extreme forms of metal don't do it for me at all with a handful of exceptions.
Yeah, I don't think we can really be blamed for this one. :lol

TheSoylentMan
A7PHA Hand 2 Hand
First impression: This song is a little odd
Huh, pretty interesting and weird hip-hop stuff, I feel that genre is where most of innovation is at these days, I should delve into it. So, I quite like the beats here and the overall atmosphere is nice. But I'm not so sure about the vocals here, they've got a nice flow, yet it's the rasp sound that doesn't do it for me.
3.5
Stadler
Motörhead Orgasmatron
First impression: This song is monotonous
I'm afraid there's not much extreme about this - feels like regular heavy metal to me. So, no bonus point here. Anyway, I'll admit I was initially quite bored by it, as seen by my first impression. But it's grown on me. A bit. What I find odd is the vocals, they're too low on the mix and can barely understand what he says. His singing just feels uninspired and like he's kinda bored tbh :lol. The rest of the track is fine, if a litte repetitive for my taste, but then I love Dopesmoker so dunno if it makes sense to criticize it for that.
3.5
ReaperKK
Eckle Within The Palms Of A God
First impression: This song beep bops
A pretty atmospheric piece, it kinda reminds of of Jon Hopkins' Immunity, with the electronic percussion and the pianos. It's a nice little piece, I quite like the second half, then it reminds me of the work of Kashiwa Daisuke. The melodies are nice and lovely, but I'm not fully connecting with the overall sound here. I'm also afraid that it does not count for the bonus point, as there's nothing close to extreme here.
3.5
lonestar
Allegaeon Proponent for Sentience III - The Extermination
First impression: This song is ok
I quite like the spoken word section a the beginning, kinda wished it appeared more throughout the rest of the track. For some reason this one feels kinda of... generic for its genre? I barely know any tech death metal but most of the melodies and riffs here don't do it for me sadly. Also the guitar tone here is a very common one so overall I feel this doesn't stand out at all.
3 + 1 = 4
Vmadera00
Rivers of Nihil The Silent Life
First impression: This song hasn't got enough sax
Mmmnnn, I recall some friends being hyped about this a few years ago when it came out. But I'm not entirely sure why, maybe it's the very ocasional use of sax? Kinda wished it was better blended with the rest of the song, a more integral part of the songwriting instead of just something cool that appears on the middle for a while. The rest of the track goes from pretty standard distorted guitars to predictable drumming.
3 + 1 = 4
kingshmegland
Ne Obliviscaris Intra Venus
First impression: This song is not memorable
I've had some of these songs stuck on my head these last few days, for better or worse, but not this one. I like the concept of the band here, violin-driven metal, and I quite enjoyed Forget Not on one of my previous roulettes. But that whole album didn't do it for me because of the excesive use of blast beats - they end up feeling monotonous and dull with time instead of intense and cathartic. And something similar happens here, they're all over the place, and the drummer is constantly playing some pretty ordinary patterns at a high tempo while the other instruments aren't that hyped up. That level of dissonance is what's always prevented me from enjoying most of these extreme kinds of music tbh.
3 + 1 = 4
HOF
McStine & Minnemann Activate
First impression: This song is groovy
A nice change of pace from all the extreme metal of this round, and a welcomed one :lol. I'm afraid it's not even close to qualifying for the bonus theme, so I'll just judge it as usual. And I'll admit... I like it quite a bit! I'm a little surprised something this proggy ended up being up my alley, but I guess it's just the seeming simplicity and whole vibe of the tune just do it for me. Pretty enojoyable melodies, tasty playing, and never going overboard with it.

Tomislav95
Insomnium While We Sleep
First impression: This song is fine
I think what doesn't do it for me is what, while every part is fine (the riffs, melodies, the instrumentation), as a whole it ammounts to... a pretty alright melodic death metal song. Sure it's a bit atmospheric and the clean sections are nice, but I'm just unimpressed by the rest - I've heard it like that many times. Particularly the drumming, it's so average it almost bores me.
3 + 1 = 4
wolfking
The Faceless Deconsecrate
First impression: This song needs more sax
I like the intro with the hammond, before it becomes kind of uuuhhh dark circus music? Which is fine, but then it turns into a different song with the extreme musicianship. Then it comes back to it for a little while, and the keeps alternating between the cookie monster and these calmer sections, sometimes adding a lovely sax in the mix. I really wished this dichotomy didn't exist and both sides were merged together into one weird and intense sound, with some more of that sax. Because the intense sections here are quite unremarkable for the most part tbh.
3 + 1 = 4
Puppies_On_Acid
Mare Cognitum Noumenon
First impression: This song is too long
I quite like the beginning here, with the mysterious piano and acoustic guitars. Then the guitars and drums kick in, cool. And eventually shrieks appear, not bad. And then the song goes on and on... for 13 minutes with not much changing tbh except for a brief breakdown at 9 min mark. And while at any particular moment it's an entertainig track, it never ends up winning me over. I just don't feel it stands out from most other atmospheric black metal I've listened to on countless Plug.dj sessions.
3 + 1 = 4
Evermind
Xantrochroid Of Aching Empty Pain
First impression: This song feels empty
I'm not quite sure about this track - it's a bit long, and while the piano sections are nice, the rest is kinds boring to me, particularly after a whole round of extreme metal. Sure, the more orchestral elements are welcomed, but the melodies are kind bland to me, the drumming is alright, and the guitars are just fine. So I guess my point is that I'm just not connecting with much of what's here.
3 + 1 = 4
Elite
Oranssi Pazuzu Hypnotisoitu viharukous
First impression: This song is unimpressive
Ok the beginning felt quite promising, but then when the guitars and drums kick in, I feels that I'm in just another black metal song albeit a bit of a weird one. Sure, the odd synths are welcome, but I'm just... not into what most of this song is about. Yeah the sort of breakdown at the middle is cool I guess. I dunno, it's just not doing it for me overall, despite probably having more of a unique sound than most black metal out there.
3 + 1 = 4
TAC
Burial In The Sky An Orphaned City
First impression: This song is surprisingly melodic
Well this starts pretty heavy and a little chaotic but with some interesting riffs I'll admit. Then about the middle point it kind of slows down a bit and gets quite nice actually, with the sax and the calm guitars. Then the intensity comes back again. And I like it a bit for a moment. But what I feel puts this track down for me is the lack of development of the many ideas it presents - they're only shown once or twice and then the song just ends. Which is a shame, I kind wished it had been longer, would have been great.
3.5 + 1 = 4.5
Cyril
Wreche The Darkling Thrush
First impression: This song is spooky
This is the most interesting song of the round for sure - piano-driven black metal? With spooky synths? It's got my interest at the very least. So, the piano playing is quite intense and the drums follow as well. The singing is, well, appropiate I guess. I feel it might be a bit repetitive here and there, considering it takes 9 minutes, but there's a surprising amount of variety here tbh, mostly on the second half. And I quite like the ending, when it's only the piano and the synths. Anyway, I'm surprised by how much I ended up liking this, so guess I'll just check out the album this comes from.
4 + 1 = 5
Buddyhunter1
The Wildhearts Anthem
First impression: This song is unexpected
I kinda expected this band to be dad rock but then you told me they did whatever they wanted here. And it shows! Pretty dirty, noisy sound overall, with lots of texture to it. Maybe a tad too dirty in terms of production, and a little repetitive on the structure of it. But it's quite a fun song, pretty catchy, and very unique sounding. Actually kinda wished it were longer but I'll take it for what it is.

McStine & Minnemann Activate
First impression: This song is groovy
A nice change of pace from all the extreme metal of this round, and a welcomed one :lol. I'm afraid it's not even close to qualifying for the bonus theme, so I'll just judge it as usual. And I'll admit... I like it quite a bit! I'm a little surprised something this proggy ended up being up my alley, but I guess it's just the seeming simplicity and whole vibe of the tune just do it for me. Pretty enojoyable melodies, tasty playing, and never going overboard with it.

Ha, that worked out well enough! Truthfully, there are a couple M&M songs that are closer to extreme metal that I could have sent, but I don’t like them that much so I figured why send one of those? This is more representative of the nature of their music anyway. Lots of fun, crazy instrumental stuff in a compact package.
Gonna send something to soothe your sore ears next.

I maybe should have gone with one of the longer tracks from the album. Oranssi Pazuzu aren’t a band I listen to that often, but they’re pretty unique. Psychedelic black metal is what I’ve seen them described as, and that makes sense.

Sorry fellas, yesterday I got hyperfocused on redesigning my blog's photography portfolio and when I had finished I was too tired to write results, oops :facepalm: . Anyway, here they are - quite an underwhelming round at first, but plenty of these ended up growing on me.
Tomislav95
3 All that remains
First impression: This song is kinda generic
Yeah this one isn't quite my cup of tea I'm afraid - it's just an alright combination of prog and alt rock. The melodies are kinda bland, the guitar tone is pretty generic, and the vocals are weak. Not a bad song by any means, just one I find pretty underwhelming on every aspect.
2.5/5
TAC
Raphael And The Thorns As The Wheel Turns
First impression: This song isn't resonating with me
And seems it isn't with you either :lol. I wouldn't say it's an awful track though, it's just a bit underwhelming overall, despite having some interesting elements, like the use of strings and some cool vocal harmonies. It's actually on those small moments when I think it gets interesting, but the chorus is quite meh tbh. So it's just an alright song to me.
3/5
Buddyhunter1
Sabrepulse First Crush
First impression: This song has the electronics
Ah yes, some nice and pretty chiptune - quite welcomed after such a harsh round :lol. It's quite a nice and fun little song, I dig the retro sounds used here a lot paired with the electronic drums. What I'm not that big a fan of is probably the overall melodies paired with the way the song is structured. Feels like background music to a youtube video on old games rather than a composition on its own if that makes sense. Wouldn't say it's cliched but for some reason it doesn't strike me as super original.
3.5/5
lonestar
Ostura The Surge
First impression: This song doesn't live up to the hype
I had this on my playlist right after TAC's, and that song ended with some similar piano notes to the ones this begins with. Cool transition there. Anyway, I was a little surpired to see you send me this, as I remember this album being quite hyped up around here a few years ago, so I was curious about it. I can kinda see why it's so loved from what this song has to offer, but I'm afraid it's not doing that much for me, as it reminds me of a lot of prog metal bands combined into one. I may have been quite more into it a few years ago though. But I really appreciate the unusual combination of sounds it has to offer, with the symphonic mixed with the metal mixed with the electronics, although these last ones are a little unoriginal tbh. So, while the ideas and execution here are mostly solid, I'm afraid I just have not much interest in this kind of music these days.
3.5/5
Vmadera00
Sufi's Life Love Vibration
First impression: This song is trippy
Psytrance and similar are one of those genres I dig a lot but only on a few albums as plenty of what's out there is kinda derivative and filled with silly pseudospirituality. So I was quite intrigued by this song at first, as it hits some marks of what I like on this genre: trippy atmosphere, nice vibes, and hypnotic songwriting. Kinda reminds me of Shpongle but without the world music influence. It's quite a nice song, but I was expecting a bit more variety in terms of songwriting - it stays mostly on the same structure throughout its duration with only some small breaks to say "Love Vibration" :P. It's pretty enjoyable anyway.
3.5/5
kingshmegland
Dopapod Numbers Need Humans
First impression: This song is funky
This is a bit of a weird one, as for some reason the slightly dissonant chords here have a it of a "robotic" feel, yet the song is quite funky - I think it fits the theme quite well. I'm afraid I don't have much to say, it's a fun little song for sure, but for some reason it's not quite doing it for me as I'd like to. Maybe it's a bit too "robotic" for my taste, but I like weird algorithmic music so who knows :lol.
3.5/5
wolfking
Owl Eyes Closure
First impression: This song has a nice atmosphere
Yeah it's quite an interesting atmosphere as you said, plenty of 80s vibes here. It's pretty catchy and lovely, but like the Gunship song on this round, I feel it might be a tad too sweet and retro-sounding for my taste. I've heard plenty of synthpop at this point to know that it's quite hard to pull off without sounding unoriginal, so I don't mind it that much here. It's still an enjoyable listen.
3.5/5
TheSoylentMan
Gunship When You Grow Up, Your Heart dies
First impression: This song is a tad too sweet
For some reason I've never checked a Gunship album despite being familiar with some of the DT favs, like Tech Noir and Dark All Day. And now I'm not quite sure I'd be into them based on this track. It's a nice electronic pop song but it's probably a bit too on the sweeter side of things for my taste, and the lyrics are a little cheesy. It's very well produced and arranged, just not exactly my cup of tea.
3.5/5
Stadler
Frankie Valli My Eyes Adored You
First impression: This song is a little corny
Quite an oldie! Kinda reminds me of the music my dad listens to from time to time :P. Anyway, it's a nice love song, even if a little corny, but it's quite well written and executed. I wished it had more of a proper ending instead of a fade out.
3.5/5
Evermind
Green Carnation The Burden is Mine... Alone
First impression: This song is kinda emo
I'm just being silly about the emo thing, it's just that the song kinda reminded me stuff like Brand New's Jesus. So it's not a bad thing at all for me, I like depressing music. And this one is fine, it's mostly guitar and sad vocals, with the ocassional vocal harmony here and there. Works quite well, but it doesn't do much outside repeating a few chords over and over. Just a simple track.
3.5/5
Cyril
McKinley Dixon Chain Sooo Heavy
First impression: This song is jazzy
I'm a little surprised by you sending me this, as I hadn't expected you to be into this. This is a cool mix of hip hop with jazz, reminds me of what Kendrick did on some songs in To Pimp a Butterfly. It's a pretty interesting song for sure, and quite a creative one - I feel that hip hop these days is where a lot of innovation is going on, I should get more into that. Yet, this track isn't resonating with me as much as I'd like to. I think it's the main melodies that just aren't that memorable to me, and the way he says "Chain so heavy" is kinda flat, and he says that a lot :P. I'd be curious to hear more tracks in this vein though.
3.5/5
Puppies_On_Acid
Elbow Magnificent (She Says)
First impression: This song is quite nice
Yeah, I don't have much to say about this other than it's a pretty and lovely song. It's quite catchy, got a great use of strings paired with the simple guitars and the interesting vocals. I wasn't sure what to think about it at first but it's grown on me quite a bit tbh. Cool track.
4/5
ReaperKK
Michael Kelsey The Free Spirit
First impression: This song is intriguing
Dunno why you thought this would fit the generic first impression - sure at first it's a little like typical uuhhh indie folk music? But then it goes into a more interesting direction, with Michael really showing off his chops on the guitar, but never too much. It gets more and more intense as it goes on, and I'm surprised by the amount of variety this has to offer despite being just an instrumental guitar track (with some subtle strings here and there). Quite an intriguing piece, one that's grown on me quite a bit.
4/5
Elite
Brad Mehldau The Prophet is a Fool
First impression: This song has the right amount of sax
This reminds of a lot to The Comet is Coming, mostly with the sick sax playing here with that dirty, groovy bass. But this goes into a bit of a different direction, and I like it quite a bit. What I'm not a big fan of is the kinda surface-level political commentary here - although I agree with the message, it's just not the most clever of executions imo. At least it does take only a small part of the song.
4/5
HOF
The Clientele Monday’s Rain
First impression: This song is vaguely familiar
I remember listening to this album many years ago when I was starting to get into music more seriously, and expanding outside of prog. For some reason I never rated it on RYM, and I don't remember a single note from it so I allowed it, maybe now I'd be able to appreciate it more. And I kinda do! It's quite a lovely, chill, atmospheric track. Kinda reminds me of a both The Beatles on their melodies and Low with the slower pace and minimal instrumentation. It manages a good balance between memorable vocals and interesting, more instrumentabl sections. I'll admit I wasn't blown away by it at first, but it's slowly grown on me, and now I'm looking forward to revisiting this stuff.

Alright, send for round 6! Remember the optional theme is prog - anything from the 70s to modern times is fine. Just be extremely careful, as this is not a genre I'm fond of these days, but there are still plenty of big names that I have never checked out, like Marillion, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Van der Graaf Generator, most of Yes' and IQ's discography, etc. And please don't send me Leprous or Rush - they're not banned, but I've given them plenty of chances in the past and they've never clicked with me :P
-
I'm glad you enjoyed Michael Kelsey! Round 6 sent!
-
two other songs i considered from the album were never will know, which is a lot more percussive in nature, and brown shoulders, which is a bit more traditionally structured, maybe check them out (or the album as a whole lol i am surprised at how much i dig it too)
also i probably should listen to TPAB at some point lol
-
Vmadera00
Sufi's Life Love Vibration
First impression: This song is trippy
It's quite a nice song, but I was expecting a bit more variety in terms of songwriting - it stays mostly on the same structure throughout its duration with only some small breaks to say "Love Vibration" :P. It's pretty enjoyable anyway.
Yeah, as much as I like their music, that is one thing I was worried about with sending their stuff. There is an idea for a piece, and kind of stay there for a while (with a few exceptions).
Alright, Prog-round. I just checked what I sent just to remind myself since it's been a few weeks, and I think you might like it, so I'll stick with that :corn

Sent.

Still hanging in there!
Sacul, they have full live shows on YouTube. They are definitely looser live.

Well that’s good! I will say I’m not surprised if that album didn’t click with you. It has some real high points, but also has some filler, and the whole thing is very lo-fi and understated. Sounds a bit like it’s coming through on AM radio. But that also gives it a dreamlike, somewhat ghostly quality. The Clientele are a band who got better with each release. Their sound kind of went away from that lo-fi thing and more towards lushly produced chamber pop. They’ve done lots of great stuff though, and are kind of hard to pin down on what they are. Definitely recommend revisiting that album, but also it’s worth exploring some of their later stuff as it is quite a bit different.
Now that I’m still hanging around the top 5 I’m gonna have to think a bit before sending.

I think sending Leprous in any roulette in 2022 is a bad idea unless it's a Revenge-style roulette where the banlist is basically nothing. :lol They're so prevalent here that anyone who's been around for a while already knows if they like them or not.
Will send soon

Glad you enjoyed that. I get your comment about the message, I just think it's more of an artistic statement and enjoy the rest of the piece for what it is in combination with the message. Brad Mehldau is an amazing pianist, you don't get to hear much of that on this particular song, but check out his other stuff (the rest of this album is good) if you want jazz piano greatness.
So, about this prog round.. would something like this song work for this round?

so what are you qualifying as "prog" anyways :corn
i'm also gonna be very miffed if you tell me the song i sent is not prog and penalize me a bonus point bcuz of that

I'll be pretty loose on this round tbh (I expect everything to suck and blow), so anything with clear prog influences counts, either old or modern prog.

I’m either a mess or a mixed bag.

Heavier than expected is probably Genesis.

but it is still prog right? i'll change my song if not 'cause otherwise i'm immediately out of the running for the final round if it isn't
i think a song mostly in 5/8 with a mid-song tempo & time signature change is gonna be more "prog" than a lot of stuff i've seen called "prog" over the years, at least :lol

Since the end is my favorite piece of music ever, I'm ruling out the last one. It could well be the first one, though the last half of the song is instrumental, so I'm ruling that one out. So that leaves "mixed bag" and "mess". I'm going to commit to "This song is a mixed bag".

I’d say mine has to be one of these based on what’s left:
This song is a mixed bag
This song is a bit of a mess
This song is heavier than expected
Nope
Huh. Steven Wilson?
Yup
So I know mine is in here:
This song has too many words
This song is a mixed bag
This song is a bit of a mess
This song is lenghty
This song should have ended sooner
Since the end is my favorite piece of music ever, I'm ruling out the last one. It could well be the first one, though the last half of the song is instrumental, so I'm ruling that one out. So that leaves "mixed bag" and "mess". I'm going to commit to "This song is a mixed bag".
Not that one but you're quite close

I'm at that point in the roulette where I'm deciding whether to shoot for the win or just send stuff I dig. I find when I try to shoehorn a winning song it usually backfires like the last round. I got long song and my EP wrapped up, just deciding between two tracks for the next round.

The danger with specifically asking for music you don't usually listen to in roulettes is that there's usually a reason you don't listen to it as much. :lol
Kinda felt that with my electronic-only roulette; I got a handful of great stuff in it and I think it served its purpose for me (the percentage of electronic to non-electronic albums I've bought since then has skyrocketed) but the overall quality was probably the lowest out of any of my roulettes.

You also got eliminated too early in the roulette before that. Partially my fault cuz in hindsight I definitely ranked Skepsis a bit too low in Round 2. :lol
My next roulette will definitely be a non-genre-constrained one.

Puppies_On_Acid
Gandalf's Fist The Lamplighter (Overture)
First impression: This song is lenghty
It's got a good start with the piano section, then some guitars appear and I'm not a big fan of the tone they have. Then some alright vocals. And then some lame synths here and there. And the song goes on and on through several different sections, none of which I'm a fan of tbh. And it goes on for 15 mins, oops. It just lacks interesting dynamics, both in terms of songwriting and mostly production - it sounds very flat. It's just a very generic sort of prog epic, and I'm not interested in those these days.
2.5 + 1 = 3.5
Elite
Major Parkinson Isabel: A Report to an Academy
First impression: This song is a mixed bag
I'm not that sure about this one - there are some pretty wild and interesting ideas here, but you also have some lame male vocals and the synths I'm not convinced by. This track goes through many different sections, getting interesting when there are some strings around, but other than that, I'm not thrilled overall. The ending is kinda nice though. It's kind of hard to judge this track, but I'm afraid that in the end it's just not doing that much for me.
3 + 1 = 4
TAC
Drifting Sun Twilight
First impression: This song should have ended sooner
On my first listen I felt like this song had ended like 2 or 3 times before it actually did :lol . It's 9 and a half minutes long and it kinda is too much for what's here - a pretty generic prog piece. It's like the combination of a lot of bands from the genre (mostly of Riverside) but without adding anything really new at all. Add to that the cliched synths and a boring guitar tone, and I'm not amused :P
3 + 1 = 4
Buddyhunter1
Phideaux The Doctrine Of Eternal Ice, Part Two
First impression: This song reminds me of Pink Floyd
There are some strong Floyd vibes throughout, mostly on the use of synths, which is quite interesting. There are some sections here and there that heavily evoke 70s prog, which I'm not that fan of, but they're a small part of the track so it's fine. Overall I think it's the synths that quite shine here, I love the diversity of sounds at display. The guitars and vocals are alright, and while the main motif is cool, I don't think that at any point during the whole tune I was that impressed by their development, despite being quite an engaging and well executed piece. I wouldn't say it's aimless, but it just kind of ends in an anticlimatic fashion.
3.5 + 1 = 4.5
Vmadera00
Plini Cascade
First impression: This song djents
I haven't been into djent or similar in a very long time, mostly because it all sounds boringly similar - David Maxim Micic was one of the few to make something quite unique with that sound, while the rest were copying Tesseract imo. And while this song has a nice sound to it and it's well-written, I just don't feel it's that original for the genre.
3.5 + 1 = 4.5
kingshmegland
Kyros Two Frames of Panic
First impression: This song reminds me of Devin Townsend
The very beginning had me thinking of The Caretaker's work, but then it went on a pretty different direction. Those introductory guitars and synths remind me of Devin quite a bit. Then it goes into a bit of a different style for a while, an enjoyable one but not one I find that interesting. All the bits with the glitchy drums and ghostly vocals are quite nice but they're barely featured here. I feel this track tries to go into many different paths at once, and while it's an interesting choice, I don't think it's executed that well as sometimes it feels a bit confusing to me. But it's still quite a fun song and the ending is great.
3.5 + 1 = 4.5
wolfking
Sieges Even Tidal
First impression: This song is heavier than expected
For some reason I had thought these guys were a more atmospheric, laid back kind of prog. This is a nice metal song instead! It's a cool tune, but feels a bit like prog metal by the numbers to me. Sure the execution and performances are quite good, but it doesn't sound extremely original to me. I don't have much else to say, it's an enjoyable track for sure.
3.5 + 1 = 4.5
TheSoylentMan
Frost* The Boy Who Stood Still
First impression: This song has too many words
I love me some spoken word sections on my music, but I feel the narration here outstays its welcome before the song can properly begin and then pops up here and there. The sound here is a little unusual, feels like the 80s but with a modern production, I kinda like it. The drumming is pretty interesting, the synths are cool, but I'm not that sure about the guitar sound. It's quite a fun song and with lots of character, but that excess of spoken word sections kinda drags it down for me.
3.5 + 1 = 4.5
Stadler
Genesis In the Cage - Medley
First impression: This song is a bit of a mess
I mean it's messy since it's more of a collection of many different songs rather than a single one. I don't mind medleys when I'm familiar with the original pieces, but since I've never listened to Genesis, I'm a bit lost :lol . It's a fine collection of tracks, just wished you had sent me a single piece instead. So, about what's here, it's a fun listen and the live setting surely enhances it, and it all flows surprisingly well. I know it's one of your very favorite pieces of music, but I'm afraid it's not connecting with me as much as I'd like to. It just feels made for a different generation than mine, or a different person than me at least. Or maybe it's that sometimes it feels they're overplaying their parts, mostly the synths here, but I'm not that engaged overall. And it's kind of a long tune.
3.5 + 1 = 4.5
ReaperKK
Children Of Nova The Complexity Of Light
First impression: This song reminds me of The Mars Volta
I'm not the biggest fan of TMV but I love some of their songs, and this tune has some similar vibes to them albeit a bit more prog and alt rock oriented. While it's quite a fun track, I feel it may be drawing a bit too much from its influences to really be able to stand on its own. Which is a shame, since there are lots of great ideas here but I can't help but feel its a watered-down version of that band.
3.5 + 1 = 4.5
Tomislav95
Kingcrow Adrift
First impression: This song reminds me of Porcupine Tree and Opeth
This one feels quite like the amalgamation of said bands, the former which I love, and the other I've tried to get into to no avail. I don't mind the inflences here, as it's quite a nice sound, but I can't help but feel it draws too much from said bands. The small moments when they have more original ideas I enjoy the most, but they're a bit sparse. Quite a shame, because the execution of the ideas present here is excellent.
3.5 + 1 = 4.5
HOF
Marillion Afraid of Sunlight
First impression: This song reminds me of Steven Wilson
I'm also vaguely reminded of Talk Talk, a band I love, but this one is quite different. It definitely goes into a softer, more melodic style of prog that's usually my cup of tea rather than the more technical one. It's a lovely song and reaches a very interesting climax, while having so many things going on. I kinda wished the vocal melodies were a bit catchier, but they work fine here.
4 + 1 = 5
Evermind
Evan Carson Otriad
First impression: This song reminds me of Riverside
I think it's mostly the combination of piano and the singing that reminds me heavily of the Polish band. It's quite a nice combination of many different sounds that somehow fit together quite well, and focuses on the more melodic side of things. It's grown on me quite a bit I'll admit, as I wasn't that much into it at first. But it's a great song with a strong theme, an interesting sound, and a excellent execution. Well done.
4 + 1 = 5
Cyril
Really From Quirk
First impression: This song is closer to math rock
Yeah I can see why you said this wasn't prog by some hipsters - it really reminds me of many math rock and emo bands more than prog ones. But it's just prog enough for me to apply for the bonus point, so I'll take it. I like the dynamics here, it's quite an inventive song in structure and how it develops the ideas present. I love the trumpet btw, sounds so nice. I'm not that sold on the soft guitars tho, but the rest of the song is wonderful.
4 + 1 = 5
lonestar
IQ Closer
First impression: This song I vaguely remember
I think someone sent me this on my first or second roulette ages ago, but I don't remember a single note from it so I allowed it, maybe this time I'd grow to like it more. And seems like I do dig it more this time around! It's quite a grower tbh, and a satisfying one. It's got a take on prog I can see myself digging since it's way more melodic and original than most stuff out there. I just love how this song flows and nothing feels forced at all.

Excellent! There is definitely a Talk Talk influence in Marillion, and Steve Hogarth does have a similar vocal delivery to Mark Hollis (at times). That’s how I first was introduced to Talk Talk actually. I think you would enjoy this album for sure (one of my favorite albums period), and also probably would like Brave and Marbles (those are the three top Hogarth era albums).

It mostly comes down to enjoying some early Black Sabbath, before their sound became more streamlined. Paranoid is a great album.

if a long song for the long song round is 9 minutes 58 seconds does that not count for the 10+ minute rule that's basically 10 minutes if you round up
i have a few options for this round anyways so i'm not Life Ruined if you say no but wanna know my options :corn

Well I will allow it why not. Better for me since it won't be on the longer end of things :lol

What if it's 9:52? How about 9:48? :neverusethis:

I think I'll just make the limits ± 5 seconds and be strict with it, so no :P

granted i'm not super enthused about most of the options coming to mind for this one, my fave songs all tend to be around 7-9 minutes max :P

Well, back in my day, they didn’t touch. You could see a space between them. That’s how it was and we liked it.

I'm as much a fan of making fun of Tim as anyone else, but as a dude that went to college to be an engineer, I didn't get "+/-" right out of the gate. I sort of got it ("context clues" as my daughter would say!) but still. Not as clear as it could have been. Buried Sabbath Celtic cross is still on the table, as far as I'm concerned.

'73 Buick Centurian. Zero to 60 in about an hour, and just as long to stop as well. I'm pretty sure we could BOTH get laid in the back seat without feet touching the door. It could easily sit six, and with a little effort, 8. I could probably put 2 or 3 more in the trunk, too.

I did a review of the newest Anneke record; REALLY strong. Great record. I have such a crush on that woman; watching her sing the album "Addicted" on Devin's By A Thread set... the only word is "sexy", but not in an objectification kind of way. It's the enthusiasm and joy she injects into that music that just elevates it.

Alright, just came back home after mixing and mastering my first EP. Time for some comparisons! As usual, the bonus point from the previous round isn't taken into account, and these comparisons are a little conservative.

Alright, I went to a meeting yesterday and hoped to get back home early and finish results - ended up getting back at 4AM, oops :lol . Anyway, here's results:
kingshmegland
Oak Claire de Lune
First impression: This song is nothing like the original
I was expecting a modern take on the classic song, but got something completely different. A kind of dark, moody, mysterious... generic prog rock song :lol . I like the darker passages here and the instrumental sections, even if they remind me of a lesser Opeth, but the rest of the track is just pretty ok tbh. And at 7 minutes, it's sort of a long track. Nothing bad here, but nothing outstanding either.
3/5
ReaperKK
Ola Englund Balegmah
First impression: This song needs to relax a little
I think this song might be a bit too intense at time for what it's trying to do, which is... a pretty average prog metal track. It reminds me a lot of DT's heavier moments, even with the excessive guitar solos, but without Portnoy's amazing drumming. It's all instrumental, alright, but I don't find any of the ideas portrayed here as interesting at all. It just kind of goes through a few boring riffs and solos and then it just ends. It's not a bad song, it's just not memorable for me.
3/5
TAC
Loch Vostok Expiry Date On The Soul Of Man
First impression: This song needs more personality
Ain't gonna lie, I'm not a big fan of generic prog metal. This one might be a bit more atmospheric than your typical prog song and I appreciate it, but it's just... bland. The melodies are kind of forgettable, and the performances are just fine. Nothing really stands out for me here tbh
3/5
wolfking
Iron Maiden Hell on Earth
First impression: This song is scarily relevant
I've never been a big fan of them tbh, it's just that most heavy metal ain't my cup of tea - jingle.boy tried in a past roulette with Rime of the Ancient Mariner and it did just ok. And this song ain't that much different for me. It's quite well put together (and relevant), I'll give you that, and it's never a boring track at all, despite being quite long - just not a style that resonates with me.
3.5/5
Elite
Weather Report Birdland
First impression: This song flows nicely
It does certainly feel like music for the weather report for some reason :lol . It's a fun song, with a smooth flow to it and some catchy melodies. There's quite a nice variety of textures that makes it constantly interesting. I like it but it's not making me go woah, maybe because it's just... too chill? I like chill in general, and this one does it quite fine, so maybe it's just a matter of not resonating emotionally with me as much as I'd like to.
3.5/5
Stadler
Scorpions We'll Burn the Sky
First impression: This song doesn't blow
Another bold choice on this round, but this time to try to submit a band that didn't do well before. Well, it kinda works I guess? Surely it's a more interesting track than Yellow Raven, but not by much I'm afraid. Maybe it's too 70s sounding for my taste, as I'm not crazy for that era of music but I don't hate it either. The songwriting is quite competent here, and the climax of the song is nice, but it feels quite like a typical hard rock way of ending a song.
3.5/5
lonestar
Voices from the Fuselage Epicinium
First impression: This song needs more electronics
On paper this sounds like something I should dig more, as it's mostly electronic and with some piano. But I feel that it just... doesn't go anywhere. The melodies are kinda in between hinting at a big buildup or climax, and being just chill and relaxed. Like, the vocals are too intense for how unassuming the instrumentation really is. Feels like a transition track and maybe I'd like it more on its original context, but it's not that strong on its own.
3.5/5

RYM describes this album as Sophisti-Pop and Pop Rock, and that makes sense. I've never been big on such genres, but I'll admit this song is quite well-written, even if I'm not a fan of the over-the-top sounds here. It certainly feels like an 80s song, and I've had very mixed feelings about that era myself. This one is pretty nice, but doesn't fully connect with me.
3.5/5
Vmadera00
Bunbury Si
First impression: This song has a familiar sound
I'm reminded of other spanish and latinx bands I hear on the radio sometimes, but I mean it in a good way. This is a pretty fun piano-driven song, quite catchy and layered - I like the use of strings and brass here and there. It feels both familiar and fresh to me, and I quite enjoyed it.
4/5
Tomislav95
Queens of the Stone Age No one knows
First impression: This song reminds me of the 2000s
For some reason I've never listened to this band despite being aware of them for so many years, this album in particular. And it turns out it's quite a banger - fun, catchy, dirty guitars, and lots of personality. I've had the chorus stuck on my head for a few days, and for a good reason. I kinda wished the songwriting was a bit more varied in terms of structure, but I'll take it for what it is. Also the ending is quite fun :lol
4/5
Evermind
Anneke van Giersbergen Hurricane
First impression: This song is a little surprising
I had no clue Anneke was releasing her own music, nor had an idea of what it'd sound like. Well, color me impressed, this is great. I love the mostly acoustic instrumentation along with her vocal harmonies. It starts pretty subtle and quiet, but gets more interesting as it goes on, particularly on the horns. Simple but lovely track.
4/5
Cyril
Magdalena Bay Chaeri
First impression: This song has a great production
This one took quite some time to grow on me I'll admit. At first I wasn't so sure about it - I wouldn't say it was generic, but it didn't strike me as super original either. But the more I listen to it, the more layers and details I find, and the way it progresses is very interesting. It just gets better and better as it goes on, sometimes exploding in quite an intense way. Also it's catchy as hell.
4/5
TheSoylentMan
Himuro Yoshiteru Start It
First impression: This song is pretty varied
I don't know what genre this even is outside of just electronic, but I like it. I like the first half, feels quite cinematic, and almost like videogame music. Then the other half has some uuhhh interesting vocals, almost rapping? Dunno, they kind of work so am not complaining. I think it may be a tad too long overall, like I'd have cut 1 minute of runtime, but that's really the only complaint I have tbh.
4/5
Puppies_On_Acid
M83 Oblivion
First impression: This song is kinda cheating
Quite audacious to use my love for Susanne's music here :P . I've never been a big fan of M83 so I was a little cautious about this one, but seems my fears were unfounded. This is a great song, with a wonderful atmosphere, and a great mix of electronic and orchestral elements. Great climax as well. I was only confused a little by the last section, because I thought the song had already ended, but I don't mind this coda, it's quite nice. From your worst submission to your best one, quite a nice turn of events.
4.5/5
Buddyhunter1
Dan Terminus The Wrath Of Code
First impression: This song is very energetic
Well damn, second time you send me quite a banger of a synthwave song. And yes this is kinda cheating a little but I'll allow it because it's a different artist. It's got a lot of punch to it, and the Perturbator sounds are quite notable and great here. It's a deeply layered yet cohesive sound here, and I loooove that snare sound, I want it for myself :lol . Awesome track, wished I knew how to write music like this. Not exactly synthwave, but with this sort of energy and production quality.

Alright, time for the last round before the EP one! This time the optional theme is long songs: any track from any genre that's at least 10 mins long, and no more than 25. I'll put a hard limit on 5 seconds above or below that, and not a second more or less. If I can suggest something based on the previous rounds, please don't send me prog epics unless you're very sure about them :P :corn
-
daaaaaacul pleeeeease you're kiiiiiilliiiiiing meeeeee
god the top three have pretty secure spots in the top 5 but i feel like it's still anyone's game so i hope i don't tank this round :corn (2/5)
-
Man am I glad I got into synthwave this past year. :rollin
(which is partly thanks to you honestly for sending Perturbator in my last roulette) :)
I loooove that snare sound, I want it for myself :lol .
I'm assuming it's the same one that Carpenter Brut and like 90% of synthwave artists use which is apparently a hyper-compressed 707.
-
Just hanging on! I’m not sure what 10+ minute songs I know that aren’t prog, so I’ll just have to take my chances!
It’s interesting that that Prefab Sprout song came across as excessively 80s to you. I think of it as pretty timeless, but there are aspects of 80s production there for sure. That whole album is really well produced IMO, and the best thing they did.
-
Sent a long and girthy song
-
Damn.
-
i sent a non-prog song barely over 10 minutes long, which makes it exceptionally long for its genre

did you send Taylor Swift?
-
Lol, how the heck I'm in the top 5 tied with Cyril :lol
I sent a non-prog song, roughly 11 minutes long, and I think there are two minutes of just the narrator talking with chill acoustic track behind it. I would've liked to save it for my concept EP but if I need to keep my Place in Top 5.

I don't know what to send for the long round. The piece I have in mind it's either getting me a 5 or a zero, there's no in between for it.

I sent the EP I won't need for the long round. ;D

No thank you.
I need a good idea/blueprint for a roulette. I honestly didn't think I'd run another one but that format came to me one night. I have no clue what to do next. It's a lot of work.
-
Nah let Deadeye join for this round! If they get higher than a 30/5 they might even qualify for the EP round!
(In all seriousness Deadeye, the way roulettes work is that everyone joins at the start so that everyone has an equal shot of winning. Usually the only times you can join mid-roulette are if someone else dropped out, or fun weirdness like Cyril “guest starring” in Indiscipline’s roulette) :lol

The way this has gone for me, I'm gonna change my name to Deadear.

First impressions tomorrow, but I'll say that so far this is a surprising round - some tracks are a bit of a chore to get through, while others are quite interesting and easy to listen to despite the length. And here I was expecting everything to suck and blow :corn . Curious tidbit: shortest track is 10:13, and the longest is 18:22.

shortest track is 10:13
i'm so smart, shortest song in the prog round -and- the long songs round
give me the E for i'm so smartE
-
Second shortest song is 10:14 though, followed by a 10:22 track, and a 10:33 one, so quite a few smarte people it seems :P
-
yeah but i'm the smartest
-
I am not all that smart
-
Hmmm, mine is 10:13 too I think (unless Spotify bumped it up by a second).
-
It might confuse some, but "Medley" is not technically in the title to my song. It's a song in multiple parts, ala Starship Trooper or Close To The Edge. Well, more parts than that, so more like Supper's Ready. But not as long. :) :)

man i've barely listened to the recent thy catafalque albums, the magic wore off at some point and also they just aren't as interesting as sgurr to me tbh
-
Yeeeeeah not the best Thy Catafalque song to send tbh, though there's not much black metal on that one so maybe it'll do okay.
-
i pretty much always send tdjghjjkhliòujoàupougjyufkuyrkuyt if i have to send a thy catafalque epic since it usually does pretty well
-

Probably would have done the same, Molekularis Gepezetec (or however it's spelled) is better but Sacul would not like the black metal sections
-
I'm not very familiar with their stuff, so there would probably be a better choice. I like the song I sent though.
-
His latest is great, and Vadak is a great pick
-
His latest is great, and Vadak is a great pick
:hifive:
-
I'm not very familiar with their stuff
Do yourself a favor and fix that! :biggrin: Roka Hasa Radio, Regenteg and Sgurr are his best albums.
-
i'd put sgurr ahead of the other two but yeah buddy's pretty much spot-on there
-
Yeah, but I didn't want to go full-on black metal, so I went with something that's hopefully a little more up to Sacul's taste. I think I have heard Rengeteg and Sgurr, as well as Meta some years ago. I haven't listened to either of those recently though, just the one that was released last year.
-
a lot of sgurr doesn't even register as black metal to me, more classic heavy metal written in a proggy way that occasionally gets a bit thrashy
i don't like most classic heavy metal or thrash metal so that combination shouldn't work for me and yet
-
Rengeteg has a lot of that Hungarian folk, as does Vadak and I love that.
Fun fact, next to my city there's a village Sarvaš, reads as Szarvas (song on latest album). I'm near Hungarian border so it makes sense ;D
-
It's funny that Sacul got both Cult Of Luna and The Ocean in the same round, those two bands have a lot of similarities especially the harsh vocals.
-
If I was going to send a long The Ocean song, I probably would have sent Rhyacian/Untimely Meditations.....and then immediately got a bad score. :corn
-
all of the ocean's best songs are sub-10 minutes, is the thing
idk if dacul's gonna care much for either post metal track here though, in that i literally just don't know who knows we'll see i guess!! anyways :corn for first impressions
-
Oops, I came back home a little late, but here are the first impressions! I'm trying to keep these a little vague so it's more fun ;D
This song is proggy but not boring
This song reminds me of one of my favourite albums
This song is a bit longer than it should
This song has some unexpected elements
ReaperKK This song is subtle
This song has an interesting sound
This song gets good near the end
This song has an interesting duality
This song has a modern style
This song is not very memorable on a first listen
This song doesn't feel long
Cyril This song is quite comfy
This song is hopeful
This song reminds me of a sauna
TheSoylentMan This song is extremely long for its genre

OK. Then I have no idea. :lol
-
Truthfully, even I think my song is “a bit longer than it should be,” so I’m interested to know if Sacul agrees. I think it would have been a great 5 minute rock song if they had dropped the middle section (though I do enjoy the whole thing as is).

So I'm gonna go with either "not very interesting" to get that out of the way, or "this song is quite comfy," which would be the second time this roulette.

No tie for last I bet! :lol

Wintersun Awaken From the Dark Slumber.
First impression: This song reminds me of a sauna
I'm not familiar with the band's music, but I followed their kickstarter drama a few years ago, hence the sauna reference. Anyway, to the song itself, it's... meh. It's got some very cheesy synths, plenty of bland drumming, fake orchestral sounds, and alright harsh vocals. It feels like power metal turned into melodeath, and it lasts for 14 mins, none of which appeal to me, oops :lol. I know you were expecting me to suffer a bit from this, and you're correct.

Vmadera00
The Pineapple Thief White Mist
First impression: This song is not very memorable on a first listen
Even after a few listens I find it kind of hard to grasp this song and remember about it, so I'm trying my best to describe it while listening to it. On the one hand is quite well-written and so much thought was put into it. On the other hand, I don't find the melodies that memorable tbh. Maybe it's just their style, but I've never delved into their music besides this so I can't tell. At least it's quite pleasing and easy to listen to.

Von Hertzen Brothers War is Over
First impression: This song is hopeful
Well, considering the current world situation, I thought this first impression would be more obvious :P. Anyway, the song is fine - I like the slow and moody beginning, but I'm not that big on the rest, as it feels like things going into more typical prog rock territory. It's a style I have no interest in these days, and despite this being a well-written piece, it's not something I feel myself returning to.

Stadler
Grateful Dead Terrapin Station Medley
First impression: This song is a bit longer than it should
I'm torn a bit, because on one hand this is a piece with much thought and care put into it, with many different sections and a layered instrumentation. On the other hand, I find it quite dated and boring tbh :lol. It's not bad at all, but man I just don't get it. I guess it's true that this band is either the best thing ever or plain boring. I'm not that dramatic, but I can understand the sentiment.

Transcend A Parallel Reflection I
First impression: This song gets good near the end
Although there are some interesting elements here, like the eastern instrumentation, and the use of strings, it's sadly mixed with fairly alright prog metal. I feel that only in the last 3 minutes is when we get something a bit different and intriguing. Although nothing groundbreaking, it's quite nicer than what came before tbh. It doesn't last too long, but it's cool anyway.

Thy Catafalque Vadak (Az átváltozás rítusai)
First impression: This song has an interesting sound
It starts off as a pretty predictable black metal affair for the most part, with some interesting riffs here and there reminding me of thrash metal, but nothing special. Then, after 3 mins of brvtality, we get some... synths? Ok, they sound cool. Then some strings. And percussion. And a sax? And vocals in some language I can't understand?? Damn, why didn't they start the song here, this is very nice and atmospheric :lol. Then the black metal elements start appearing slowly again, but they somewhat fit and make for a very unique sound that I dig. At least for a while, because they then return to more of the same as in the beginning. Which is nice, but man, for a moment this song was really coming into its own. Oh well.
3.5 + 1 = 4.5
TheSoylentMan
NOFX The Decline
First impression: This song is extremely long for its genre
An 18 minute punk song? Damn. I mean, I personally prefer more hardcore stuff like Refused or the proto-punk of The Stooges, than other variants of punk. But I'll admit this is quite an interesting song, with multiple sections and a very cool climatic ending. My biggest gripe is that, well, it's a bit too long and in a style of music that has never attracted me. But it's so well-executed that I just have to give it a decent score.

Big Big Train The Shipping Forecast
First impression: This song is proggy but not boring
This song reminds me a bit of No-Man on the vocals, and a bit of Gazpacho on the instrumentation, but proggier - it's got the acoustic guitars, the flute, the mellotron, and a retro guitar tone that reminds me of the IQ song that was sent a few rounds ago. It's quite a pleasing and somewhat complex song, with plenty of layers. It's a lovely one, but I'm not sure why it's not resonating with me, maybe it's that it reminds me of a lot of other bands instead of something a bit more unique.

Evermind
Hypno5e Night on the Petrified Sea
First impression: This song doesn't feel long
Quite an interesting track, I can actually understand what most of the spoken vocals say! Interesting passage about finding heaven within, it's something I think about sometimes. I also love the guitars that play when she speaks, wished they had stayed like that throughout the song instead of going back to a more normal sound. I'm getting some Opeth vibes here, which is nice. I don't find the drumming interesting at all though, feels quite generic for the most part imo. I think it's a nice song, always flowing well and never feeling long. The section after the second spoken vocals is very cool. Overall it just kinda lacks something to truly make me connect with it, or maybe it's just their sound I don't find super interesting or unique outside some sections. Expected something way worse based on Cyril's past comments, but this is just fine.

Shineback Rise Up Forgotten, Return Destroyed
First impression: This song has a modern style
This is kind of weird, on the one hand this has an interesting sound, a modern take on prog rock/metal that helps it stand out from the crowd. A bit. On the other hand, paradoxically, it feels like prog rock by the numbers for some reason. I feel that it's not enough, melodically, to really set them apart - maybe it's the structure that just feels quite predictable. Maybe I've just outgrown most prog by this point. It's a fine song, it never gets boring or annoying, but I'm afraid that, back in 2013, both Haken and David Maxim Micic, to name a few, were doing way more interesting things within the genre.

Buddyhunter1
Cult of Luna Cygnus
First impression: This song has an interesting duality
I quite enjoy that this song doesn't have only one vocalist, as Julie's vocals add quite an interesting flavor to the mix. This song is quite intense and certainly has that epic closing track feel to it, which fits perfect with this being the last regular round. I also like how it doesn't feel that long, and the performances are on point, the drumming being excellent in particular. The calmer section in the middle really helps accentuate the rest of the song, although it might be a tad uneventful for me. My biggest complain though is the mastering here - it's very compressed and I can barely feel the intensity of the guitars and drums. Other than those things, it's a great song - guess I'll finally check out this album, as I enjoyed some of Julie's solo music in the past.
4 + 1 = 5
Cyril
Left at London Pills & Good Advice
First impression: This song is quite comfy
This song is quite interesting, as it feels like the combination of many different genres and styles into a big yet somewhat cohesive whole. RYM lists quite a few genres, half of them with the words "indie" or "pop", and it feels appropriate. So, it's hard to describe this tune, as it starts with some pretty conventional acoustic guitars, but then goes into many different directions, mostly involving some cool electronic percussion. I'm not that big on some of the occasional processed hyperpop vocals, but they're a small part of the piece so I don't mind. In general I really like the soundscape they create, with some inventive synth sounds, and always bringing new ideas without them feeling out of place. Overall it's a very nice piece, that sometimes feels like many different songs stitched together, but they kinda work, so I don't mind that much.
4 + 1 = 5
Puppies_On_Acid
Yndi Halda Illuminate My Heart, My Darling!
First impression: This song reminds me of one of my favourite albums
I get strong GYBE! vibes from this song, mostly from F#A#Infinity, which might as well be my very favourite record ever, but also from Lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven. There's a pretty interesting and strong buildup on the first half of the song. It's a lovely and pretty nice one, in particular I love the sad strings throughout it and the second buildup. Post-rock is a tough genre for me to enjoy these days, since most folks seems to be just emulating what Explosions in the Sky do, instead of the amazing and inventive first GYBE! albums, and late Talk Talk records. I feel that, although this is nowhere near as innovative as such albums, it's still quite well written and executed.
4 + 1 = 5
Tomislav95
The Ocean Jurassic | Cretaceous
First impression: This song has some unexpected elements
This song starts off as a pretty cool but standard post-metal song, until some freaking horns and a piano appear. I didn't expect them to work nearly as well as they did here, but they do. I love the chorus, it's pretty intense and quite :metal. The songwriting is quite varied and never gets repetitive despite the length. I kinda wished the horns and the piano were a bit more integrated into the song but I'll take what I can here. Also the vocals during the calmer sections are a tad bland imo. My previous experience with The Ocean had been some songs off Pelagial I think, and while they were good, they didn't grab me like this does. Pretty solid track.
4 + 1 = 5
ReaperKK
A Winged Victory For The Sullen Atomos I
First impression: This song is subtle
Ambient is quite hard to do right I've realized, as someone who is currently exploring how to do that. It's also deeply personal - what might move someone might leaver others cold. I'm glad this song is the former one. I love how it slowly adds elements while remaining quite elegant and subtle, and never getting boring at all. It's a slow progression but one that works really well. I also enjoy how it kind of stops at the middle and introduces a lovely piano - this is the kind of music I've tried to make on my own, and it's damn hard.

Alright, seems that there won't be a need for a deathmatch as we have exactly 5 players for the EP round. So, to everyone but those in the first 5 places, thanks for playing! For the rest, send your EPs! I'll give you some time to prepare them in case you haven't, let's say, until Monday.
-
Thanks for letting me play Sacul!
-
Wow! :lol
Thanks for having me at least.
-
Hey, I survived the cutoff so that’s cool!
I guess it makes sense that The Shipping Forecast reminded you of IQ as they were on their label back when that originally came out. I’m not all that familiar with IQ, but I do see the similarities. I think the opening and closing sections are really interesting in terms of a prog song, as they sound more like Britt pop or something inspired by early Radiohead to me, and I think you would have had a great maybe 5 minute pop song if you dropped the whole middle section. But the middle section has its merits, and when the song finally resolves back to that huge chorus it’s just glorious. This is one of my favorite songs from BBT despite it being from their least heralded lineup. That whole album is really good.
I’ve put together like six iterations of my EP. Will try to get something to you soon. Does it have to have a particular story/theme, or can it just be a bunch of songs that I think sound good and flow together?
-
aww, i honestly was really looking forward to sending my tiebreaker because i went absolutely nuclear with the song i picked out & it doesn't fit on my EP at all either :lol
cyril comeback era confirmed tho
EP is ready so let me slap together a writeup and send it
also i swear this is like the third round you've given me a v and then given me a 4.0 anyways :lol

Both are good options tbh

Cool, I'll have an EP ready by the weekend.
I can see how the song I sent wouldn't be memorable. I honestly struggle finding a 10+ minute piece that I thought you would like, so went with something a bit soft/calmed.
-
Sacul, next time I sign up for one of your roulettes, just tell me you have enough players already. :lol

WOOO finally! Glad you enjoyed my submission and also the The Ocean song, they both kick ass. :metal

I've got my EP sent already. I wasn't expecting to keep this much of a lead going into the final round, so I'm quite hopeful, but we'll see. My EP is a bit risky. And you and I could just be fated to always do really well in each others roulettes but never actually win. :lol
-
considered editing my EP but then remembered i've had it done for weeks and editing it would take effort so i've sent
-
That Winged Victory is really nice
-
Ok... So here we go... I think my EP is unique enough that if it hits right, it could make up that 1.5pt difference... Or if buddy's sucks enough....
Anyway, you got mine already, let's do this thing!!
-
Aww, and I was kind of looking forward to competing in the EP round, missed it by half a point :yeahright
-
don't worry puppies, i would've won the tiebreaker anyways :corn
i'm actually really upset that i can't really use the song in my EP anywhere, it's just too far off-base from the rest of what i've put together and i'd have to take out two songs to fit it in anyways, but i'll prob just send it post-roulette idk. i would totally have sent it in the main roulette if it hadn't come out like a month ago :rollin
-
Alright, EP sent. Now to bed.

And yeah, but your songs did grow on me a bit on those occasions so it'd have been unfair to not have bumped them to the score they deserved :P

Yes, but I haven't updated that list yet, give me a minute. But basically every artist whose song scored a 4 (without bonus point) or more is banned. Anything else is fair game.

Hypno5e Night on the Petrified Sea
Quite an interesting track, I can actually understand what most of the spoken vocals say! Interesting passage about finding heaven within, it's something I think about sometimes
Dude, I have no idea what most of the spoken vocals say in this song :lol I remember something about Margarita and Thomas and something something encontrar.
:lol it's quite a nice and poetic passage, here's a translation I did with deepl - first two sections are in spanish and the last one is in french for some reasion:
"At the top of the mountain range, I stopped to rest, but I felt that I was leaving without moving from my place. My eyes lost me in that immensity, and I forgot myself, so much looking and looking. Suddenly, the voice of solitude asked me if I was looking for the sky, and I answered: "Maybe. Heaven is within one, and there is hell too. The soul writes its books, but no one reads them. Sometimes one walks, between the shadow and the light, in the house of the smile, and in the heart of the cross. Look for heaven in yourself, for there you will find it..."
"Seek heaven in yourself, for there you will find it, but it is not easy to find it, for there is much to fight for. On lonely roads, I began to walk. On the outside I was not looking for anything, but inside, perhaps...".
"Margarita and Thomas are getting married. But before the wedding, Thomas dies. He does not cease from then on to wander and to visit Margarita. Margarita consults the priest, who advises her to free herself and Thomas from his promise by summoning him to the church where she will give him back his gift: a flower and a white handkerchief. What she does. They meet. 'Devuelvo tu promesa.' ('I return your promise') He then ceased to be a wandering soul, and he went underground with a sigh."

Just out of curiosity, are we going to have an EP hangman?

I think Elite's EP is a half full chipped glass of festering monkey spunk.

I haven't heard Elite's EP
based on what's revealed i'm gonna guess a few senders:
Toby Fox, Nicholas Britell are Buddy
Phil Collins, Counting Crows are Vmadera
Intervals, Periphery are lonestar
Field Music, The Pearlfishers are Elite
-
Who sent The Hu is the biggest mystery to me, I have no idea how they'd fit in with anyone else on here lol

Yup, Elite's EP is the best one by far
Toby Fox, Nicholas Britell are Buddy

Vmadera is the one who sent Periphery and Intervals then? And maybe Pearlfishers and Field Music? That Periphery song is their electronic cut off the second album, so :lol
The Hu is... lonestar I guess? idk

That Periphery song is their electronic cut off the second album, so :lol
You're thinking of Epoch, Erised is the ballad with the Petrucci solo at the end

erised is like my favorite periphery song but checking it out again it's not quite as electronic-y as i remember it being, yeah :lol

I can see people liking it more than most Periphery songs if they don't really like Periphery much to begin with. :lol

starting with death, then morning, struggling through life, growing old, and eventually nearing death. a cyclical tale that loops in on itself and may be non-sequential (tracks 5-8 happen before tracks 1-4, or maybe they don't)
thirty four minutes of music all on punk/post-hardcore/emo/screamo spectrum (no metalcore)
i highly recommend looking through the lyrics as they are core to a lot of these songs' appeal

1. Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance
It reminded me a little bit of "The Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance which I don't really care for (the worst MCR song IMO).

I wrote a stupidly-long story to go with mine, I'd share it too but idk if Sacul was planning on revealing those himself at some point later on
-
See...I didn't know we needed a story :) I just picked random songs so I'm ready to lose this round :lol
-
i mean i could've written more of a story but most of the songs are super obvious and emotionally effective enough that it doesn't really matter (also i mostly picked the songs just by, like, the songs i wanted the most which turned out to mostly be about people dying somehow, oops)
-
I wrote a stupidly-long story to go with mine, I'd share it too but idk if Sacul was planning on revealing those himself at some point later on
Feel free to share it here!

My theme was basically modern metal derived from ancient musical stylings... One from Mongolian throat singing, the other from Maori Haka. I figured both are strong enough and unique enough that if they click with our esteemed host, the could make up the point difference to give me the win.

Alright here's mine. :neverusethis:
Let's GO!☆ GO!☆ ...towards the Final Battle!!!

As a simple peasant, life in your kingdom has been peaceful and calm. Until one day, without warning... the Lord Of Fiends attacked Castle Town. Amidst the fires and pillaging, the princess was kidnapped and the entire kingdom was plunged into chaos! But all hope is not lost... for unbeknownst to everyone else, the power of light dwells inside you. Without hesitation, you grab your Sword Of Unspecific Legend and set out to defeat the Lord Of Fiends, rescue the princess, and restore order to your kingdom!
After traveling through emerald fields, seas of sand, and the mountainous borderlands, you finally set your eyes upon it... the Castle Of Malice. Its tall towers and spiraling spires pierce the stormy clouds above, as they pelt heavy rain upon your silver armor. Thunder claps overhead. You swear you can hear the princess's desperate cries for help... though that could just be your imagination. This is it. Your destiny is within your grasp! Onwards... towards the Final Battle!!!
The Castle Of Malice has been stormed. You have slain countless Dark Knights, Stone Demons and Greater Goblins. At last, all that stands between you and the throne room are the massive doors made out of wood and brimstone. Mustering up all your courage, you place your hand on the doors and they open, seemingly anticipating your arrival. Smoke and fog pours out from the gap in the doors. Without waiting for it to clear, you walk forwards. You hear nothing but your footsteps as they echo and reverberate across the massive chamber... until the silence is broken by a booming, abyssal laughter. Through the fog, you see two glowing red eyes, and as the fog slowly dissipates, you lay your eyes upon the imposing silhouette of the Lord Of Fiends. No words are exchanged. You unsheathe your sword, and he draws two massive cleavers, one in each hand. You are filled with determination.
An epic battle is underway. Despite being moments away from death at every possible moment, you've never felt more alive! You swiftly dodge each weighty swing of his immense cleavers, and slowly chip away at his thick layers of armor. After countless blows, a critical swing detaches his final defenses, and you see it... a bright, glowing mass pulsing in the middle of his chest! A single blow to that should finish him off! Then, out of the corner of your eye, you see a mass of metal hurling towards you... he caught you off-guard in your slightest moment of distraction.
You absorb the impact... barely. Your body is sent flying across the massive chamber like a ragdoll and your back slams into a stone pillar, nearly turning it to rubble. You've made a terrible mistake. Where is your sword? Amazingly, you've managed to hold onto it. This moment of hope is quickly lost as you lift your head and look forward. The Lord Of Fiends is already in mid-air, leaping towards you with both cleavers aimed directly for your helpless body. Your perception of time has slowed to a crawl. The pain is unbearable. You can barely move. You've come so far... but is this truly the end?
That's when you hear it. A chorus of voices inside your head. Has witnessing your final moments caused you to lose your sanity? No, this is no insanity... you can hear them so clearly. All of your friends and loved ones. All of the people in your kingdom. Everyone in the word who stands for good. Their chants are all echoing through your head, and they're all chanting for one thing... YOUR VICTORY! The power of light grows exponentially within your soul! Your strength returns tenfold! This is it! This is your chance! You flip backwards through the air as the massive cleavers of the Lord Of Fiends slam down, grazing your cape and embedding themselves deep within the floor. You just barely dodged his final attack, and now he's wide open! You lunge forward, past his stuck cleavers, under his meaty arms, right up to the glowing mass in his chest, and you pierce through it! Your sword has struck true! An indescribable scream bursts from his demonic maw. You pull your sword out from his body as it writhes, convulses, and finally explodes into a cloud of ash. You've done it... you have won.
You gaze upwards as a cage lowers from the ceiling, as if in response to your decisive victory. It opens, and the princess flies into your arms with a trail of sparkles. She is safe and unharmed. The battle is behind you, but your quest is not over... you still need to return safely to your kingdom. As you step outside the castle walls, beams of sunlight pierce through the cloudy skies... This is your destiny!
~Fin~

Did me asking if you've played Bravely Default before not clue you in? :rollin
Seriously though, the final boss "suite" of that game (which includes the two songs I sent you and one before that because naturally the final boss has like four phases) is the most extra I've ever seen a video game soundtrack go and I think it's goddamn amazing. They even performed it live with an orchestra and choir: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Nil0qRve4k&list=RD3Nil0qRve4k&start_radio=1
The best part is at 5:10 when the composer (Revo himself) seemingly materializes out of nowhere and plays the accordion for a few bars.

yeah all of buddy's stuff is explicitly video game music lol

-
Damn, I fell asleep yet again :lol. I'll post one EP at the time, so here's the one at 5th place:
Vmadera00
within Orion's Heart
This EP is atmospheric
Plini Heart
First impression: This song is both chill and quite technical
Quite an interesting choice to send this artist again :P. I've never been a big fan of his music tbh - although it's quite well-crafted, it lacks the emotional power to get me invested into it. This is a nice and chill song, but I feel it's just kind of there? Like a nice wallpaper, quite unobstrusive, but not remarkable either.
14/20
The Expendables Sacrifice
First impression: This song reminds of stuff I hear on the radio
It has that reggae vibe that's quite common on the radio here. It's got a nice and simple groove, a bit of atmosphere going on in the chorus, and some cool guitars after the middle section. A nice and simple song.
14/20
Intervals Breathe
First impression: This song is pleasing but forgettable
Yeah I'm not feeling this one that much, it literally feels like an interval between songs lol. It's just alright, but I feel I've listened to something like this many times before and it's never been my cup of tea. It's just too innofensive.
12/20
Periphery Erised
First impression: This song reminds me of a genre I don't care about
Never cared about this band, and I remember why - it's mix of progressive metal with uuhhh metalcore? has never resonated with me. It reminds me of bland songs from that genre. While I appreciate the electronics and the catchy vocals, it feels too much like something that would appeal an angsty USA teenager. At least it's quite well put-together.
10/20
Buckethead Dreaming Frequencies
First impression: This song is quite surprising
I've never listened to Buckethead tbh, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Certinaly not something this atmospheric! I think this is my favorite song from the EP, I like the chill vibes quite a bit. It's nothing mindblowing but quite pleasing, mostly when the electronic drums come in. A little too short sadly.
15/20
Flow: 4/5
Final score: Roulette + Flow + EP = 32.5 + 4 + 13 = 49.5
Thanks a lot for playing! Your submissions were always quite interesting, in particular the Spanish ones. Now I've got to check out that Public Service Broadcasting album for once :lol
-
well i got at least a 17/25 for my EP :lol
doubt any of 3rd-5th are close enough to narrow the margin between buddy but i'm excited to see what you think of my misery-p :corn

I should stop doing these so late at night, as I keep falling asleep :lol . Here's #4!
Cyril
the way he must've been surprised // the second time he died
This EP is intense
My Chemical Romance Welcome to the Black Parade
First impression: This song represents the emo phase I never had
Yeah I think you've already sent me this on a previous roulette years ago, but it's been so long I've forgotten about it. It's quite an anthemic song at first that quickly transitions into more typical pop punk territory, before going back to the grandiose sound. Dunno how I felt about this song before but am quite enjoying it this time. Never had an emo phase tbh, but now I kinda feel like checking this album out.
17/20
La Dispute Fulton Street I
First impression: This song is grim
I like how dark and moody this track is, even if most of its runtime is just a slow build up. And I was kind of expecting an epic climax, but it just ends :lol . Which is fine, and maybe it makes more sense in the album context, but I felt there quite some potential here - I was really digging the atmosphere and the vocals in particular.
15/20
Spanish Love Songs Otis/Carl
First impression: This song's style is alright but not my thing
Ah yes, more pop-punk and emo. Never been huge on those genres tbh, neither when I was younger nor now that I'm an adult. I appreciate the songwriting here, it's quite strong, but I'm not feeling it that much personally. It just sounds like every other band of this style out there.
14/20
Actor | Observer In Your Ways
First impression: This song reminds me of how hit or miss this genre is
Post-hardcore is kind of difficult for me, as I've found more misses than hits on it. This song in particular I feel it's quite busy, and although the atmosphere is nice, and the buildup is great, it's not resonating with me as much as I'd like to. I dunno, maybe it's just too foreign a style for me to properly get it.
14/20
PUP Scorpion Hill
First impression: This song kinda reminds me of Brand New
It's the vocal harmonies that sort of remind me of what Brand New did on some of their songs, but yeah that's all I can really compare between the two tbh. So, more pop-punk! This one with a bit more intensity and personality (but barely). Hints of indie rock are appreciated and make for an interesting experience at least. Cool track.
15/20
Spanish Love Songs Losers 2
First impression: This song is quite well-written but not my cup of tea
Is the pop punk? Or the punk pop? . Important questions aside, this is a nice song. Sort of reminds me of the 2000s, my childhood, and early teenage years for some reason. Maybe it's just that this genre never changed much. And that's fine I guess, but not what I'm looking for in music.

Touché Amoré Water Damage
First impression: This song is intense
Such a dark and intense song, knowing about the context this was made in gives it another meaning. Which kind of makes me feel a little bad for not giving it a higher score, but it's just too short and abrupt on its ending for me. I guess it fits the theme well at least?
14/20
Touché Amoré Skyscraper
First impression: This song has some layering
I quite like the layering of the vocals and the guitars, it makes for a dense but quite cathartic sound that I enjoy. I really feel it should be a little longer as well, but it's strong for what it is. A nice way to close the EP anyway.
15/20
Flow: 5/5
Final score: Roulette + Flow + EP = 32.5 + 5 + 14.75 = 52.25
Thanks a lot for playing! Although our tastes couldn't be more different these days, you always manage to send me some pretty interesting stuff anyway. I'll definitely be checking out the pop thingies.

if nothing else you were consistent in underrating all these songs :lol not too surprised by this tho

Alright, now numbah #3!

Old meets New
This EP is inventive
The Hu Wolf Totem
First impression: This song has some... interesting vocals
I quite enjoy some throat singing here and there, and hearing it in this context is quite interesting. It feels more ancient than modern in general, but in a way that works quite well. It's a simple but quite solid song, makes me quite curious about the rest of this album!
16/20
The Hu Shoog Shoog
First impression: This song has both a modern and ancient sound
This one has more of a contemporary flavor than the other one. Feels kinda like the soundtrack to a videogame for some reason. Also the vocals are a bit more uuhhh normal here for the most part :lol . Didn't find it as engaging as the previous track, but it's still quite solid.
15/20
Alien Weaponry Ru Ana Te Whenua
First impression: This song is original but kinda generic at the same time
On the one hand I like the fusion of these ancient sounds with more contemporary metal. On the other, it feels like a superficial blend of both styles that leads to some generic sounding guitars and vocals. Which is quite fine, but I prefer when the result is a much more unique sound, like Jambinai's mixture of noise rock with traditional korean folk, yet sounding almost like neither. This is an alright song for the most part - I felt that the section with the gongs was going for something unique, but it didn't, oops.
13/20
Alien Weaponry Kai Tangata
First impression: This song has some generic riffs
I'm not feeling these riffs nearly as much as I'd like to - they're fine, but I feel I've heard way better ones and with nicer drumming to go along with them. The song has a pretty simple structure for the most part, which means there are little surprises or twists, which I'd have liked given the interesting sound they've got going on. Oh well.
13/20
The Hu Song of Women
First impression: This song has some interesting textures
The longest song on the EP! This one feels a bit more adventurous and exploratory, with more of a continuous and repetitive structure, but one that works quite well here and doesn't feel long at all. There's also plenty of interesting sounds and textures here. My only gripe is I don't find the main motif that memorable after a few listens, and while it never gets boring, it never did stick to my memory that much. Still, cool song.
15/20
Flow: 4.5/5
Final score: Roulette + Flow + EP = 33.5 + 4.5 + 14.4 = 52.4
Thanks a lot for playing! You started with a bang, and managed to stay consistent most of the way through. I'll definitely be checking out the stuff you've sent me.
We're very close now, sorry for all these delays folks, life got pretty busy these last 2 months - I had expected to have this all finished way sooner :blush . It will all end tomorrow anyway, so who's gonna win? HOF or Buddy? Place your bets :corn

Everything In Chelsea Works Out By Morning
This EP is quite a mood
Nicholas Britell Agape
First impression: This song's piano is lovely
It's such a simple and short, but quite lovely song. I love the deep piano chords, and the overlayed wind instruments add such a nice texture. Not much else to say here, it's a great opener for this EP. Oh and it's part of a soundtrack it seems - gotta watch this movie then.
16/20
Counting Crows Chelsea
First impression: This song has plenty of emotion
This has quite a vintage vibe despite being a late 90s recording, but I dig it. The mood is quite intimate, the vocals start quite soft but melancholic, and the trumpet and sax add to it. It's quite a nice and pretty ballad at first, but then on the second half it starts building up to an emotional sort of climax. Kinda wished it had gone a bit more into it, with even more intensity, but it's still quite nice.
16/20
The Pearlfishers Everything Works Out
First impression: This song is quite gentle
I just love how most of these tracks so far involve the piano in a way or another - this one being a shorter ballad. It's a lovely little piece, mostly instrumental, and maybe a bit too short. But works fine as a sort of interlude after such an intense song.
15/20
Phil Collins You Know What I Mean
First impression: This song is both intimate and grand
I've never listened to any Phil Collins outside of In the Air Tonight that jingle.boy sent me on a previous roulette - that was alright, so I was curious about this one. Quite different, less pop, more intimate, but sort of grandiose in a way due to the strings. I like it, just wished it was a little longer and had less vocals.
15/20
Nick D'Virgillio Will It Be Me
First impression: This song is just fine
Surprised to see this song is early 2000s, thought it was a decade older at least. I don't have much to say, it's a nice little ballad but one that feels sorta generic imo. I don't know much about this artist, but feels like this type of songs aren't his specialty, but I might be wrong :P
14/20
The Pearlfishers Is It Any Wonder?
First impression: This song is quite warm
Another song I felt was quite older than it is, maybe I need to update my perception on what the early 2000s actually sounded like :lol . This song does some things wonderfully, like the soft vocals, the layered and organic instrumentation, and the melancholic mood. Those strings in particular are lovely. Maybe I need a bit more of time to fully love it, but am digging it. Great tune.
16/20
Field Music The Morning is Waiting
First impression: This song is organic
I like the layering here, I think the strings and piano work very well. The vocal harmonies I dig, they remind me a bit to Julia Holter. Not much to say, a nice and lovely closer track.
15/20
Flow: 5/5
Final score: Roulette + Flow + EP = 32.5 + 5 + 15.29 = 52.79
Thanks for playing! You stayed consistent and had some bangers along the way, and I think your EP is the best one of the round. I've definitely got a plenty of stuff to check out now.
And the winner is...
Buddyhunter1
Let's GO!☆ GO!☆ ...towards the Final Battle!!!
This EP has an interesting narrative
Toby Fox Once Upon A Time
First impression: This song reminds me of a game I love
It has some Earthbound vibes, which I know it's a huge influence, and I just love the simple but pleasing synths here. Short but sweet song. I should prob go back and finish this game one day, or watch a gameplay at least.
16/20
Mad Lollypop Kidnapping The Princess
First impression: This song reminds me of another track from this round
I think I had Periphery in mind when I first listened to this? It does bear some similarity here and there, mostly in the way they build their melodies. And kinda like that band, I don't find myself that engaged by them. I do appreciate the layering and the atmosphere here, and the musicianship is quite nice for such an obscure band though.
13/20
Buddyhunter Primer
First impression: This song is surprisingly varied
Quite brave to send your own music! I'm quite surprised by how much it sucks and blows varied and engaging this song is - it's got that mix of video game-like synths and rock music that seems to appeal you a lot. Buddycore if you may. I like this quite a bit actually, it's got a very catchy motif, has enough variety in its simple structure to keep you engaged, and the musicianship is quite impressive. Congrats!
15/20
Revo The Evil Wings
First impression: This song feels like a fantasy game soundtrack
Ok I had totally forgotten you asking me about Bravely Default (I don't play weeb games :neverusethis:), so I thought huh this totally sounds like vidya music I wonder why now :lol. Anyway, it's a fun, kind of epic track, but feels sorta generic for this kind of games? I'm not a big fan of fantasy stuff in general these days, and I also feel this would be more pleasing to me in the game's context tbh.
14/20
Revo Uroboros, The Serpent That Devours The Horizon
First impression: This song reminds me of a heavier version of The Astonishing
My feelings here are quite similar to the other song - I'd prefer to listen to it while gaming. But on its own is quite interesting, it does sort of remind me of DT a bit, particularly with the guitar solos. I quite like the energy here, it feels climatic and emotional. Also is that irish music near the end? It's a nice touch.
14/20
Toby Fox Last Goodbye
First impression: This song almost makes me want to have finished playing that game
The transition from mostly orchestral, organic instrumentation to chiptune goodness is a bit abrupt tbh. Anyway, the song is pretty good - I like that it transitions between these lovely piano segments and the rock parts. My only gripe is that it ends quite soon, I was sorta expecting a bit more from it. Oh well, guess it also makes sense in context.
15/20
Flow: 4.5/5
Final score: Roulette + Flow + EP = 35 + 4.5 + 14.5 = 54
Thanks a lot for playing! You did drop plenty of bangers along the way, and managed to win this with a pretty solid EP. Congrats buddy, good hunting :metardica::metardica::metardica:

CONGRATS KEVIN MOORE!!!! :kvlt:

It's over? It's really over?? Congrats buddy...and thanks for the hosting Sacul....if you can drag out lovemaking like you do a roulette, you'll end up with more ass on you than a sorority house toilet seat.

HOF: 20.29 (15.29 + 5)
Cyril: 19.75 (14.75 + 5)

lonestar: 18.9 (14.4 + 4.5)
Vmadera00: 17 (14+3)
congrats ariich!

Came up short but won the EP round, so that’s fine by me. Congrats Kevin Moore, I mean, Buddy.
Re: the Pearlfishers and the sound of the 2000s, they are definitely kind of a throwback to 60s/70s pop, but still with a bit of a 90s/00s edge at times. Kind of an update on The Beatles and Burt Bacharach or something.
Glad you liked this collection of mostly chill piano based stuff. Someone introduced me to that Nicholas Brittell tune a little while back, but I have no idea what the movie is about. I thought it would be a good opener for something like this, and I just sort of went from there with the stuff based on piano and horns and stuff. When else was I going to be able to sneak in stuff like this from Counting Crows and Phil Collins into a roulette (especially since those tracks aren’t super representative of their sound)? Anyway, big fan of this kind of music, so I’m glad you liked it!

My second win! Very happy with how this turned out. :metal
Thanks for running this Sacul, I love doing roulettes with you - I feel like you have the most musical compatibility with me when it comes to stuff that isn't usual DTF fare. :lol Maybe you'll finally win one of my roulettes the next time I do one? ;)
And thank you for the praise for my song! Not quite good enough to compete with the 2 minute intro track though, I see. :lol

Congratulations Buddyhunter! Your taste in music rivals your knowledge of quality pop culture references.
And thanks Sacul for running the roulette. I enjoyed taking part in it.

Well damn, thanks I guess :lol

Oh that explains a lot :P
Yeah I can see that there's enough overlap with our tastes to make that stuff work for both of us. Glad to have had you playing here!

I mean, I just loooove that intro track tbf. Dem retro synths just work beautifully.

I just think it's funny that for two of my EPs in a row the 1-2 minute intro track ended up being tied for the highest score out of all of the songs. If I ever have to make another one for you I might try to fit in as many short segues as possible! :lol
