Round 7 First ImpressionsWasn’t feeling this one at the start but it got better as it went on and I was pretty into it by the end.Good guitar work can help a lot, but if the song aesthetically doesn’t appeal to me at all it can only cover up so much.I think the overall sound of this is pretty cool and up my alley but it feels like it could use a bit of diversity or dynamics considering how long it runs.I don’t think the overall sound of this one is necessarily for me, and it does feel like it meanders in its first half, but it gets better in the second half and is kinda neat.It’s not unpleasant, and I kinda dig the overall sound, but it feels like it meanders a bit too much, though we’ll see if it grows on me on relistens.This is one of those styles where I know I’m supposed to feel some kind of emotional connection coming off the music but most of the time I just don’t get that, and I’d say the same about this.I kind of get what this song is trying to do but I’m having a hard time saying I find it at all appealing, mostly just boring.It’s a nice song that both at its core sounds interesting and distinct and has a lot of little touches that only make it that much better.This sounds kind of like an anime opening at points. I’m not sure that’s necessarily a good thing, but it isn’t necessarily a bad thing either.Not huge on the first third or so of this, but the rest was pretty solid stuff.Gonna be blunt here, this feels like the worst round of the roulette so far, and by a lot. A lot of stuff that just outright bored me on first listen, where I was waiting for something to happen and it never did, or sounds that are just not for me/not something I'm even remotely interested in. I'm inclined now more than before to lower the berry requirement to 25 because I'm the one feeling burnout here, apparently
The one exciting thing happening is that two people have submitted for the same bonus theme this round, so there's some kind of competition going on there at least.
Also hold up for a hot minute, I got another post to make...
