First Listen: Great song, really great, a chill song with a great horn section.
Subsequent Listens: Loved it more and more, really a great pick!
Round 6 - Sigz - Battles - "Dominican Fade" 8 points
First Listen: Nice tune! Something I can dance to and also and instrumental which works well for this type of song.
Subsequent Listens: I'm really, really curious to hear more music from these guys and see what else they have up their sleeve.
Nekov - Florence And The Machine - "Remain Nameless" - 10 points
First Listen: I have a lot of friends who are huge fans of Florence And The Machine so I'm eager to hear this song. Her voice is incredible! I love this song! This is exactly the type of stuff I was looking for this round.
Subsequent Listens: At first this song got a 9 but after more listens it's getting a 10, it's amazing.
Xanthul - Portishead - "Mysterons" - 7 points
First Listen: Nice, chill haunting song.
Subsequent Listens: Good song and I like it but I wish it had a little more something too it.
Zantera - British Theatre - "Defeat Skeletons" - 8 points
First Listen: Good stuff, fits the theme perfectly. I love the way the vocals are mixed in the song, probably the thing that grabs me the most.
Subsequent Listens: Initially a 7 point song but I tossed in another point simply because of how the song grew on me. Can't wait to hear more material.
Kari - FM Belfast - "I Don't Want To Go To Sleep Either" - 6 points
First Listen: If this song was a bit shorter it would've fit perfectly in the previous round. Very happy up-beat tune. I like it but I feel it'd get old pretty old quickly.
Subsequent Listens: Good, but the subsequent listens did more harm then good.
Ravenheart - Diary Of Dreams - "The Curse" - 7 points
First Listen: Holy shit it's Rammstein, at least that's what the first 20 seconds reminded me of.
Subsequent Listens: Catchy as shit and it's an interesting song.
Sigz - Zola Jesus - "Vessel" - 8 points
First Listen: The female vocalist really drew me into the song, she really makes it a wonderful song to listen to.
Subsequent Listens: While good the song feels like it's missing something to make it great. Still a good score tho.
Ultimetalhead - Daft Punk- "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" - 6 points
First Listen: I've heard this song before but never really listened to it. I've definitely explored older Daft Punk and didn't like it. This I do like.
Subsequent Listen: Good but I don't know, it just doesn't really grab me in, feels long too.
Elite - John Butler - "Ocean" - 9 points
First Listen: This guy sounds so much like Trace Bundy, it's crazy. I dig the song. If you look at my last.fm I'm a huge fan of finger style guitar.
Subsequent Listens: Just a great tune. I don't know much about John Butler but I'm going to check more of his stuff out.
Scorpion - Depeche Mode - "Precious" - 7 points
First Listen: Strong song, fits with the theme well.
Subsequent Listens: Great on me a bit with more listens, I really like it!

Round 8 - Final Round!
Alright guys so this is my final round and it's pretty much an open round but there are a few rules:
- I want new music, so the band's first release has to be 2007 or later.
- I want three tracks but they have to be from the same album and they have to be 3 tracks one after another.
- If it's a concept album you're sending me, say Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence you can send me "pieces" of a whole track say the song SDOIT and you want to send me tracks 2,3,4 that's fine as long as they are split up on the album I'll take it.
- Each song will be graded from 0-5, additional points can be earned if the songs flow together well. To make things a bit more fun I'll also give an additional 3 points to anyone who can guess their total score (for the three tracks) for Round 8.
Any questions ask!
