K-Lox...by eliminating me in the first round, you have missed out on some AMAZING music. Just sayin'.

You took that risk when you sent power metal after I gave a warning Feel free to send suggestions after the roulette finishes. Or wait for the next roulette in the future

You got a weird definition of Power Metal if you think that's what Ascendia is.

Well, Metal Archives has them listed as progressive power metal, and the album is extremely power metally. There's lots of types of power metal. [insert Bubba montage here] It's definitely power metal. I just feel like I've heard that album many, many times already.

I can't argue that point... I found them to be fairly ordinary, and didn't dig the vocalist at all - too one-dimensional and no range. I guess everyone can define musical genres however they see fit, I just wouldn't classify them into what I would consider predominently 'power' metal. Quasi-prog metal is how they struck me.

8. A fantastic album but the singer and lyrics leave a lot to be desired.

I'm pretty sure this is mine.

Dormouse, dormouse, have you any cheese
Or did it melt in the thermonuclear breeze

As you said you didn't quite like the concept in Beyond the Bridge album, I thought I just won't put a lot of stock into lyrics with my next entry. Guess that didn't work out.

I don't know which one is mine, but I'd be quite surprised if it was one of the ones with negative comments about the vocals. Ray Alder is one of my favorites.

Me too... but I can understand how his voice might not click with everyone. I feel the same about Tom Englund, but have had a few roulette hosts be put off by his voice.

Now that you mention it, I don't think so. But I just assumed, given how badly you've tried to change my mind on his voice hahaha. Just giving you a hard time

But I haven't tried that either, have I? The witness's testimony is a bit unreliable, your honor.

The Walrus · « **Reply #607 on:** March 30, 2018, 10:29:34 AM »

I believe it was implied when I was chastising the quality of Matos-era Angra, but I will cop to maybe possibly potentially having been mistaken.

What I actually did try to convince you of was the greatness of those albums, especially Holy Land. I even suggested you just go with versions with Fabio singing so that the vocals didn't get in the way.

So all that having been said, I wouldn't call him one of my very favorite singers, but... I do love his voice on the Angra albums and think Holy Live is all kinds of awesome. I would love to have seen him live with them at the top of his game, and I'd even like to see it now for a special anniversary show or something, even though I'm sure he'd struggle with some of that stuff. However, the stuff he's done since just hasn't captured me the same way. I'm sure he had to tone it down and don't blame him, but part of the reason I don't call him a favorite is that his toned down voice just doesn't grab me so much. I love Ray on the older Fates stuff where he's up in the stratosphere, and I love his voice now and on everything in between. For Andre, I think it's a combination of his voice and not having Rafa around that means the magic just wasn't there anymore. (As far as my relationship with his singing and writing goes).

The Walrus · « **Reply #609 on:** March 30, 2018, 10:50:06 AM »

That's fair. You also need to listen to Luxaeterna by Aquaria. Given your love for Angels Cry I think you will at the very least enjoy it if not fall in love with it.

Lethean · « **Reply #611 on:** March 30, 2018, 10:55:54 AM »

Maybe I'll do a roulette and you can send it to me. If he's trying to sound like Matos though, I dunno. There's only room for one. (Just like I don't like Savage whatever it was called with the dude who sounded like Hansi).

At one point or another you WILL be listening to Aquaria, roulette or not hahaha

I wouldn't say he's TRYING to sound like Matos, and he certainly has his own distinct voice, but he definitely does have that South American power metal voice, heavy falsetto sound that only they seem to have. I would say you'd like him because he is very similar to Matos in his younger years, but if you don't like Savage Circus for the reason you stated (aw

) then that's a tough call...

Also, I'm unfortunately going to have to give a lower score than I had hoped to... but warnings were given.
