Have you ever wanted to work in a recording studio and mix/master/engineer a concept album or write a story put to music? Well, that is the whole purpose of this roulette! To let out everyone's inner recording engineer/story writer and let your creative juices flow (not those kind of juices Chad...I know you were thinking it). Which is why the banned list is so short and every round is either an EP round or Concept Album round. This isn't a roulette specifically for me finding new music, although I'm not opposed to that, but to perhaps see songs that I know well or even just sort of know in a new light, perhaps coupled with new songs that I don't know to hopefully bring new light to old songs or something to that effect. Long story short (too late), I want some stories curated into EPs and albums by you fine people. And really, who better than Dream Theater fans/Prog fans, who are no stranger to conceptual stories in their music. Time to get your creative juices flowing!
Now, I understand everyone's schedules and amount of time they have to devote to something like this is different. You aren't going to hurt my feelings if you don't have time to put together a story and EP for 5 rounds and can't/don't want to participate. If I only get a handful of participants, that's fine too, but the more the merrier! Plus I know you guys can do it, TAC's themed EP roulette went well back in 2019 and I think he had 14 participants! At any rate, I'm here to have fun and want all participants to have fun as well. So without further ado....
The Rules
- This is open to everyone
- No limit to number of participants
- 5 total rounds (4 EP rounds, 1 concept album round)
- There will be optional themes that will net you an additional point if you follow it.
- Each round will be rated using the same rules for EP/concept rounds that were used in my previous roulettes with some slight changes (see further Round info below)
- I strongly encourage all participants to edit their EPs and concept albums for flow and cohesiveness as this will have a much stronger impact on score this time
- Going along with the above point, please PM submissions with a link to download your EPs/Concept albums, or if you must you can just send me a song list/Spotify playlist...
- There will be eliminations before the final round (number TBD). I also reserve the right to Parama Rule 6, you have been warned :D
- Artists will not be banned after being used, however the individual songs will be banned from future rounds
- I will accept the same song from multiple people in any given round, as unlikely as that may be given the small banned list this time
- If you are confused by any rules please post here for clarification
- If you rage quit you will automatically go on my shit list along with Evermind :biggrin:
- Speaking of, I hope Evermind joins this roulette
- I'll try not to be an evil dictator for the duration of the roulette
- Final rule, and this one is the most important. Have fun! If you are playing only to win, you are doing it wrong.
- Bonus Jingle rule :jingleboy: ....Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat...
The Rounds
EP rounds - Length limit: 40 minutes or less
Round 1 - Optional Theme: Sci-Fi story
Round 2 - Optional Theme: Historical story or Alternate History story
Round 3 - Optional Theme: Fantasy story (think Lord of the Rings or Wheel of Time or A Song of Fire and Ice (AKA Game of Thrones), etc.)
Round 4 - Optional Theme: Your story (Your origin story, the story about you, or a made up story about you or your forum persona)
- EPs will be scored out of 30 points (10 points for song quality, 10 points for story, 10 points for flow) Story and Flow is the important thing here!
- EPs must contain at least 2 different artists and a minimum of 3 tracks, not included segues, intros, outros, etc.
- I also highly discourage instrumental tracks, unless you have a very good story reason for it. I will judge instrumental tracks harshly. You have been warned. This does not apply to segues, intros, outros, etc.
- Again optional themes will get you 1 additional point.
- There will be additional bonus points for my favorite song of the round and my favorite EP title.
- PLEASE TITLE YOUR EPs BEFORE SENDING THEM TO ME.
- I prefer EPs be edited to one track for the sake of flow, but I understand if you cannot do this or are time limited, in which case you can just send me a song list or a Spotify playlist, just know that this can affect the flow significantly.
- If you do edit your EPs together, please send timestamps of where the track splits are
- With regards to flow, you don't necessarily have to have each track flow right into the next, there can be a pause from one track to the next, but jarring cuts from one song to the next will negatively impact the flow score. At the same time songs that can be elegantly weaved together will significantly improve your flow score.
Concept Round - Length Limit: No less than 45 minutes, no more than 2 hours
No theme here. Go wild, use your imagination. Same rules as the EP rounds except the following:
- Concept albums will be scored out of 45 points (15 for song quality, 15 for story, 15 for flow)
- Concept albums must contain at least 3 different artists and a minimum of 4 tracks, not including segues, intro, outros, etc.
Participants:
- Cyril
- Jingle
- TAC
- Elite
- Ariich
- Kingshmegland
- Deadeye
- Wolfking
- Vmadera
- Stadler
I'd love to get some new people who haven't played in my roulettes before, if possible. :corn

I mean yeah ofc i'm in

The stories don't have to be elaborate, just coherent at the very least.
-
also song quality being 20% of the EP score is... hmm. not sure about that one, i can throw together any old batch of songs as long as the story and flow are coherent, basically? just like, the absolute worst music ever? :corn

Those were just examples. You can come up with your own fantasy based story. I guess in your case, think Keeper of the Seven Keys.

Love this. Yes please!
This is exactly the same type of roulette I’d like to run as well, given time. I might actually listen to everyone else’s EPs as well

Interesting...
Round 4 - Optional Theme: Your story (Your origin story, the story about you, or a made up story about you or your forum persona)
Very interesting...

Your banned list puts me on edge very quickly. I’ll try, but I’m gonna get one round in and be out of artists if it’s once and done.
And I can’t really edit stuff together, so I’m very out of my league here.

Also for those of you unfamiliar with editing tracks/stitching EPs together, I encourage you to look at a program called Audacity. It's free and can make editing songs quite easy once you get the hang of it. Like I said in my OP, it isn't necessary, but encouraged.
https://www.audacityteam.org/

Yeah, I’m clearly not gonna win, cuz I have neither the time, appetite, or skill to do the dieting part. You’ll get the songs, and you’ll love them, goddammit! Story/theme … I should be good on those.
5 rounds … yeah, I can do this.

Being a fogey, I'm obviously having trouble with my flow. ;D
I mean, I wouldn't call the ending and beginning of my songs jarring, but they are clearly separate songs. I mean, are you basically looking for a 35 minute SONG, or a collection of songs that tell a story? I've never bought an EP where every song weaves into the next one.
Minor gripage I guess.
-
When's the cut off before this gets started? This seems like a time consuming roulette but challenging and definitely some fun. I need to think if I'll actually invest the time.
The story part scares me though.

I'm leaving signups open through next weekend, and then giving everyone a few days after that to finalize their round 1 EPs. So you basically have a week and a half before round 1 officially starts. I realize this will be a bit of a time investment for y'all, so I'll be giving people a reasonable amount of time to come up with EPs. At the same time I don't want to be grinding the whole roulette to a halt between each round. It's going to be a balancing act to keep everyone engaged.
I can pencil you both in for now, just let me know if you won't be participating. I'd love to have both of you, since I don't think either of you participated in any of my past roulettes. :metal
-
Okay, a week before we even start helps. Sign me up, can't promise much but let's see.

Minor gripage I guess.
Just wanted to touch on something again here. The tracks composing your EPs do not have to all run together as one long song. If one track leading to the next doesn't warrant it, then so be it.
To give an example of how I go about editing together EPs, I intentionally look for tracks that can be edited in such a way that they will flow together without the listener really noticing. Sometimes that means chopping off portions of the beginning or end of the songs in question or crossfading them at key points. I've even gone so far as to edit sections of a song onto other places to make things flow correctly. Then there are times where I let the songs be and let them naturally end and then begin the next song. Sometimes I will add an additional gap if a song starts too abruptly after the previous one. Sometimes there needs to be a brief moment in between tracks.
It's really all in how you see your EP playing out, how you want it to flow, how you want the songs portrayed. A lot of times the music has just as much to do with the telling of the story as the lyrics do when I'm compiling tracks together for an EP or concept album.
Hopefully this helps. :)
-
Okay I'm in on this. I'm more looking at the EP from a story point of view as opposed to a song flow point of view as I would have thought a story would be more importan.. Not sure what's more important but its gonna be a big ask to nail both.
Or are we thinking the themes can be recurring themes through the EP of the songs without a story attached?

I'd say the story is more important to nail. I will be more forgiving of flow as long as there aren't awkward/jarring cuts from one song to the next or extreme genre shifts between songs, unless the story warrants it. Having said that, I'd still like to see some effort put into it :lol
-
Will be hard to do when you're using different bands, especially making it sound legit and somewhat seamless. I'm up for the challenge, got some ideas for round 1.

I think I'll give this a try....... if you'll have me.
Bands... can you only use a band once? I know what the OP says, artists are not banned, but does that mean for the person that originally used them? Meaning, can I have a Kiss song in each EP, as long as it's different?

Note: I've adjusted the scoring system to be more balanced across criteria, while still putting some emphasis on story and flow.

So, I've been noodling on this for a few days now, and
(https://themidnightalliance.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/ive-made-a-huge-mistake.gif)
I won't be doing any of the editing to improve the flow (see prior post on the matter), and am having a helluva time coming up with story ideas, much less writing the actual story - regardless of the themes. Since I'll be failing so hard on 2/3rds of the purpose of this roulette, I don't mind gracefully bowing out. But, if you're still willing to listen to my submissions, I have an alternative idea that still fits the mould of what you want - I'll PM you.
-
Don't be such a pussy. You didn't gracefully bow out. You fucking QUIT! What, do you want to bask in your victory a bit longer before returning to Loserville?
;D
-
Actually Chad, Puppies smoothing out the scoring is a big thing actually.
Say you get 8 points for your songs, 8 points for your story, and 7 for your flow...that's a 23. I think all scores are going to range from 21-26 anyway. As long as you choose decent songs with a relatable theme, you should be able to weave some loose narrative around it.
-
Tim, I didn't know you had long arms?

Same here. I have my PM basically formatted..songs, timestamps, fonts... Just need to write some text.

Wow, Chad. That's weak. Why don't you ask your wife if she wants to play? :) :) :) :)
Well, for-fucking-give me for having our hosts interests and desires in mind, and not just playing in these things to satiate my own self. And is that really the best chirping the two of you can do? Fuck, my wife gives me a harder time about how I park the car.
Anyway, Puppies confirmed my "alternate" idea would still fly, so ya'll are gonna have to backup your talk with some good roulette'g - it sure would be embarrassing if I score higher than you ... even if for just one round.

What, are you going to the Resource Room to put your EP's together? ;D

To send you the track(s), do you want them by email, or can I add a WeTransfer link in my EP submission PM?

Nope. I'm all done. Just asking him how he wants to receive the track.

I'm confused, why have an alternate idea if you don't want to participate in the hosts idea in the first place cause it's too difficult? You can't change the rules to suit yourself, regardless if he allowed it.

Christ, you guys are quick. I've still finalising tracks and won't get started on writing up the story or seeing how I can join the tracks together until the weekend. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

I'm not sure if the file size limit is large enough to send it via email. Wetransfer or Google drive or mega links are fine. Or any other file transfer service that you prefer to use. Doesn't matter to me.

I didn't change the rules for him, he basically just asked if the story could be a retelling of an existing story/movie/etc. Which I said was fine.

Oh great. The Seinfeld Episode Roulette.
For the historical round, I'm gonna tell the tale of when Fred Flintstone went to work at the quarry and how he had to use his feet to motor his car.

I know right!?! Although I think he's been really busy lately. :dunno:

I plan to spend a bit of time on round 1 this weekend. :)

it's very very unlikely i'm gonna have time to do this by july 6th, sorry :lol
if it were just slapping together a few songs, maybe, but i am busy as hell rn and the story component is driving me away

Listening to the songs I picked out for my Historical EP. Loving the metal! :metal

Working on it right now. It's an extra long weekend for me (Canada Day today; Monday is given as a day off for the entire firm as well :fistpump:) Will have it out no later than Monday, maybe even sooner.

Question ... are covers - with a significant re-arrangement - of songs from banned bands allowed?

Because of the nature of the roulette and the minimal banlist, I may end up including songs that you've sent me in my roulettes. :lol

Serious question; am I allowed to re-use an EP I made for a previous roulette given that it fits the theme?
-
Oh boy, lots of people trying to find loopholes. :lol OK, let's get a few things out of the way.
Serious question; am I allowed to re-use an EP I made for a previous roulette given that it fits the theme?
I'm gonna say no here.

While I'm not gonna say no to this, I would appreciate some songs that I don't already know. The whole reason I kept the banned list short was to provide some more options. So while sending all songs I already know is technically within the rules, I might Parama Rule 6 you........OK I'm not gonna do that, but you get what I mean :P
Because of the nature of the roulette and the minimal banlist, I may end up including songs that you've sent me in my roulettes. :lol
This would be fine, as long as you aren't resending an EP or album I sent you or sending exclusively songs I sent you.
Question ... are covers - with a significant re-arrangement - of songs from banned bands allowed?
I'll allow it.
-
Serious question; am I allowed to re-use an EP I made for a previous roulette given that it fits the theme?
Actually to clarify, is this an EP you sent me? Or one you sent someone else? If the latter, then I'll accept it.
-
I wouldn’t send the same stuff I sent you previously again :)
There’s one EP I made once in particular that I was really pleased with. I might take the same idea and improve it actually! :)

Which by the way, I think I’m done. Only took a couple of hours this morning to hammer it out. Might send tonight.

Sent mine, I hope is not the same story as others lol
Have to say, this was kind of fun, just wish I had more spare time to spend on it.

I'm going to have to push the start of round 1 out to July 9th as I have a last minute work trip that came up starting Tuesday and I won't be back or be able to listen to anything until next Saturday. So that will give the rest of you some extra time to compile something.

Are you working 24 hours a day? You won't listen in your hotel room at night?

Are you working 24 hours a day? You won't listen in your hotel room at night?
Perhaps I will get some listening in, but I know how these work trips usually go and I can't promise any dedicated listening. Plus this will give people who were on the fence or time constrained a little more time to put something together.
Certainly a few days won't kill the rest of you. :lol

I've listened to 2 EPs so far. I'm going to get through the rest of them (at least the ones I have) today, at least once.

I'm struggling with round 2. What do you mean 'alternate history story?'
Could be a historic event that could have turned out different or had alternate repercussions or the world had something been done differently.
For example: What if JFK survived the assassination attempt. Or what if Germany won WWII. Or what if the natives turned back the Spanish Invasion in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Or any other major historical events that could have turned out different.

Okay. A hard one since if you look at songs with history, it usually covers the whole event. Gonna be challenging finding songs to make a story, especially based on an event. Got some time to think anyway.

Well, I have my History EP mixed down, but still have yet to construct a narrative.
I pretty much have my Personal EP tracks nailed down.
But my Fantasy EP is quite iffy at this point. Really not sure about this one.

EP 1 is done. Got the story roughly in my head, now I just need to type everything out. I hope I can send it tonight!
-
Excellent!!
Still need EP's from Ariich and Deadeye. If I get everything by tonight, I can start hangman immediately. Otherwise it might be a few days. No pressure though, y'all still have until the 9th.
After that I'd like to do each round within a week to a week and a half. So be prepared for the pace to pick up.

Methinks the noobie is gonna quickly realize how unfun it is to host one, and play in one at the same time - let alone one as complex as an EP/Concept.

Uhh, the EPs every 1-2 weeks is gonna mean I need to send at least one EP right in the middle of a holiday. Damn, I'm gonna need to make them all in advance :lol
Typing up the story now, though if there's any rush to start hangman, I can send you the EP in advance and the story in a few hours or tomorrow morning (my time).

I have something kinda nice for round 2 story wise. I assume we can take a real historical event or two and create a story within those parameters yet bending it just a little bit?

Yeah, I thought so. I have a couple of major historical figures and events and the story wouldn't be far off what would have went on, but I'm not going to make sure the history or timeline is 100% accurate, it can bend. I'm learning though as I've always never really had an interest in history.

Next thing he'll tell us he doesn't know what Aqua Net is.

Or Ron Popeil

I googled what a tribble is, and it's a Star Trek reference? If so, my wife would also have no clue.
I do know what Aqua Net is, and the name Ron Propiel does ring a bell, just can't place it off the top of my head.
Pup, give us an M for morning!

And no fake Tommy Shaw or JY Young was used in my playlist.

Just a fake Dennis DeYoung.
-
Imagine defending a guy who had to resort to clones. You have to look like Tommy & JY. Lol
Not just a voice. That is lame.
-
Who in the hell is JY anyway? He's like the Alec John Such of Styx.
-
That is the worst analogy ever.
-
You're fooling yourself.
-
mine ended up at 39 minutes which meant i only had to cut one of the songs i wanted on my EP (it was another CHVRCHES song)

VOLA is Vmadera
Gojira is Elite
Alcest is Kingshmegland
That's a negative on all those.

No not at all. He said he was out of town.

Nah, Tim is the muse for 80's high-school jock kid that you know Jason with slice his melon. I'd use Stranger Things season 4 but I know better. :lol

Searching for a New Life might be Vmader?
Surely the Haken track is on his EP!
-
Can confirm my tunes have all been solved.
Journey of the Waves of Time would seem to fit Stads' EP
I see a Black Sabbath tune up there
In Flames as well
-
That’s not a Stadler tune, despite the amount of words in the title…
-
Let's get an O
-
And add a R
-
I see Flotsam and Jetsam up there - surely that's TAC
-
Black Sabbath is either Stad or Deadeye
-
TAC sending Amorphis. Interesting, I thought I recall him saying he wasn't that big on them. Could be wrong. That song is a cracker though. Great solo.
-
Black Sabbath is either Stad or Deadeye
Into the Void.
-
I’ll update in a bit. I did not send F&J.

It fit my story so I used it. It’s a great tune.
-
The In Flames is Paralyzed.
-
Tac's EP - Tempting The Sun?
Eidolon - De-Evolution
I see Mastodon - Oblivion :metal
-
If Tim didn't send Netherbird, maybe ariich?
-
Updated above!
-
Are you randomly populating some of these? I didn't catch anyone solving Porter Robinson, or Mastadon*
Also, I gather Wofking sent another Eldolon; and is the Rise of the Nanobots title.
Is Rich the "Void" title?
*the "a" is the joke*
-
Mastodon was solved three posts above yours. I solved Porter Robinson after updating the “r”s because it was obvious and it would save me trouble of going back in just for that.
-
Black Sabbath is either Stad or Deadeye
Into the Void.
Great song, alas not mine.
I’ll take a D for both categories please.
-
Blood Stain Child - Stargazer (TAC)?
Avenged Sevenfold - Higher? - Deadeye?

Obsidian Kingdom?

Not The Lone Ranger but everything else..yes.

One of the EPs is called Lucifer's Prayer. Cool name.
The Obsidian Kingdom song is presumably The Pump, sent by Elite.

Yes and yes.

Also, I gather Wofking sent another Eldolon; and is the Rise of the Nanobots title.
Peter Schilling - Major Tom (Coming Home)
I'll bet next week's paycheque this is Stads. No one under the age of 50 would know this song.
-
I'm over 50 and I don't know this song, by title at least, and while it wasn't Stadler that sent it, it was definitely an old bastard that did.

Just checked out that Major Tom song. I did not recognize the verse at all, but I definitely recognize the chorus. I hear that on the muzak at work every now and then. I had no clue who the singer was.

What is Countdown, the Rush song? When did the Major Tom song come out? The Spotify album I checked out was listed in 1989.
-
1982 and yes, Rush.

I just pulled up the video and it doesn't really ring a bell. Could be my brain though.

Ah just realised Daniel Olsen etc also have Dead of Night, also Cyril.

I GUESSED! I can’t believe I actually nailed it. I never guess who songs are from, let alone first time.

You simply matched an old song with an old dude. Don't be too proud of yourself. ;D

Tim typed that from his old man bunker where he watches sports, by himself. Lol

No, actually, I just went with the guy that looked like they had more space in their list. Also Kansas and Styx felt like they went together well.

Curious ... how many of these songs did you already 'know'? Doesn't need to be an exact number, just a best guess (# or %).

I would not be surprised if aside from the interlude/segue tracks Puppies knew all of the songs I sent.

Let's put the other Gojira track on Vmadera's EP and the other Porter Robinson tracks on Cyril's
"Void 1: Ghosts of Innocence" is ariich's EP title based on the tracks on there

How about some first impressions!
- Congrats Ariich :neverusethis:
- One song feels kind of out of place
- Strange song selection....and yet brilliant in places.
- While the songs fit well together, I don't know that they support the narrative enough.
- I'm fairly certain the protagonist was just stoned and he imagined the whole experience.
Wolfking - :metal .....hmm, that might be too vague, let me try to express myself a little better....... :2metal:
- I'm fairly certain no one else in this roulette would like this EP, but this was surprisingly amazing.
- There are some really inspired song choices and flow between songs and some really questionable song choices and flow...
- I was initially unsure how well these songs would go together musically, but the keyboards, surprisingly, were what bound a lot of it together
- Not sure if this was intentional, but the story almost sounds metaphorical for the loss of a loved one, could just be me projecting my own thoughts on the story and me reading more into the lyrics than was intended.

One song is definitely out of place in Lucifer’s Prayer. Could be the keyboards one … maybe
Or worst case, songs don’t support the narrative.

Yes and yes!
-
So, I hope mine contains the word ‘brilliant’ :)
Otherwise the Muse song feels out of place, which is actually kind of the point, since in the story it’s when the protagonist finds out nobody is on her side and the funky disco vibe of that tune epitomises the lifestyle of her peers in a sarcastic way, while she is desperately looking for help. Note the transition to the next song as well!

Finished Impressions for you guys to ponder over. I'm finishing up one last listen through of all the EPs (this will make 6 times through, I believe), then I will start writeups tomorrow, which I will do while listening to each EP one last time.
I gotta say, I was impressed in one way or another by each EP. Even the newcomers to my roulettes that thought they were out of their comfort zone put together coherent stories (for the most part) and sent some good stuff. I wasn't sure what to expect from everyone in a roulette like this, but overall I'm really happy with the way this first round turned out. Hopefully that will be incentive enough for you all to maintain a vested interest in this, because I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far and am looking forward to what you guys will bring to the table for round 2.
I also want to apologize for not being able to update Hangman as frequently as expected this week. Being out of town didn't help things. Thanks again to Tim for helping out on Friday :hefdaddy And thank you to all participants for joining, knowing this would be a bit of a time investment. :tup
Ariich - Congrats Ariich :neverusethis:
Deadeye - One song feels kind of out of place
Elite - Strange song selection....and yet brilliant in places.
Jingle - While the songs fit well together, I don't know that they support the narrative enough.
Stadler - I'm fairly certain the protagonist was just stoned and he imagined the whole experience.
Wolfking - :metal .....hmm, that might be too vague, let me try to express myself a little better....... :2metal:
Cyril - I'm fairly certain no one else in this roulette would like this EP, but this was surprisingly amazing.
Vmadera - There are some really inspired song choices and flow between songs and some really questionable song choices and flow...
Kingshmegland - I was initially unsure how well these songs would go together musically, but the keyboards, surprisingly, were what bound a lot of it together
TAC - Not sure if this was intentional, but the story almost sounds metaphorical for the loss of a loved one, could just be me projecting my own thoughts on the story and me reading more into the lyrics than was intended.

Someone had asked earlier how many of the songs I was familiar with prior to this round. I knew 30 of the 69 songs that were sent. That's kind of the ratio I was looking for in this, about half and half. It's been interesting listening to the songs I know in a new context.

I had heard 3 of them before, but I wasn't overly familiar with them.
So I'll start getting results out soon. They will be released in batches. I may not get them all out by tonight, but should have them finished by end of the day (my time!) tomorrow. First batch should be out in the next hour or so. :corn

Here we go!!!!
Kingshmegland - Crimson On the Horizon
Peter Schilling – Major Tom (Coming Home)
Kansas – Icarus - Borne On Wings of Steel
Cellar Noise – Omega
Styx – Red Storm
Styx – The Outpost
First Impression - I was initially unsure how well these songs would go together musically, but the keyboards, surprisingly, were what bound a lot of it together.
On first listen, I wasn't sure if the first track would stick out compared to the rest, but in hindsight, I think it works quite well as the opener for this EP and for the story overall. I mean, let's be honest here, that initial keyboard motif to start off the song screams '80s cliche from the get go. Now I know this is a kind of bastardization of David Bowie's Space Oddity (which, coincidentally, was also sent in this round) and I will say I like the original better, but this is still a decent song. I have heard this song before, but not for many years and I didn't recognize it initially, until the chorus kicked in. Upon repeated listens I found myself singing along with it. The next song, Icarus, is another that I'm familiar with, but again hadn't listened to in many years. I think I need to dig out my copy of Masque and give it a spin soon. At any rate, I've always liked Kansas even though they have a handful of songs that I got sick of because of radio overplay (Carry On My Wayward Son, I'm looking at you!). This song is a great proggy styled classic rock song, with some more forward keyboards to kind of tie back into the previous song, even though they are obviously different styles. Omega is next and is probably the biggest departure stylistically from all the other songs here. Having said that, I still think it fits quite well. Especially with how it starts with that very cinematic intro and then flowing into a very neo-proggy sound. The biggest difference is this song delves more into the Progressive Metal side than anything else on here. I like how the song takes the time to breathe in places and slide in and out of different moods. It reminds me a bit of IQ in some respects. This is probably my favorite track on this EP, and I will definitely be checking out the rest of this album. Next is Red Storm and The Outpost, both from the album The Mission. I'm also familiar with these songs and really enjoyed the album when it was released back in 2017, but haven't listened to it in a while. I'll have to rectify that after this roulette. I like Red Storm a lot more than The Outpost, but I can see why they were both chosen for the story and it's not like The Outpost is a bad song, it just has some parts that I don't like all that much. Like the beginning is the part that always bothered me the most, because the keyboards sound so cheesy and out of place. But.....they do tie in quite well with the cheesy '80s keyboards of Major Tom....so there's that. Having said that, this song is what sounds closest to classic Styx out of the two on this EP and if I remember correctly also out of all the songs on the album it's from.
Song Score - 7.6/10
As far as the story goes, Major Tom sets the stage for our protagonist and works quite well. It's upbeat to signify the anticipation for the journey ahead, in which the protagonist is tasked with leading a mission to Mars, in which he is supposed to be the first human stationed there. Icarus works well to create some tension and showcase the stress the protagonist is under with a mission of this magnitude and the anxiety caused by the contemplation of failure and possible death. Storywise Omega is next and is used as a flashback on what our protagonist has left behind, what he has endured to get to this point in his life, and the loss of loved ones. The emotional nature of the song helps with the sentimentality of the story at this point. The last two tracks are where the astronaut finally gets to Mars and has to battle his way through one of Mars' notorious red sand storms, through howling winds to get to the outpost where he will be staying. Now, obviously this story is very inspired by the many movies that have to do with missions to Mars, but that doesn't bother me that it's not wholly original. You also kept the story fairly simple and let the songs do the heavy lifting, which works for the most part. Although it could have used a bit of fleshing out. I'm curious what you will end up bringing to the table for the rest of the roulette.
Story Score - 7/10 + 1 for bonus theme
The way this EP flows is actually pretty good despite not editing anything. The styles all work fairly well together. Although it helps when Major Tom fades out and Icarus starts with a nice mellow keyboard part, then Icarus also fades out, to which Omega starts with another mellow keyboard part.....wait a minute, I see what you did here... :lol The only part I could see needing some editing would be the transition from Omega into Red Storm, but that is a minor quibble. Also I'd say fadeouts are a lazy way out (never did like when artists did that), in this case it's not really your fault since that is how those songs were recorded.
Flow Score - 8/10
Overall Score - 23.6/30
Stadler - Lost In Space?
Elton John – Rocket Man
Pink Floyd – Interstellar Overdrive
Black Sabbath – Into the Void
Kiss – 100,000 Years
Beatles – Across the Universe
First Impression - I'm fairly certain the protagonist was just stoned and he imagined the whole experience.
OK, starting off an EP with Rocket Man is a ballsy move. Lucky for you I didn't ban this album and I love this song. Just a great classic song. Then the EP starts to fall apart. Interstellar Overdrive works well narratively, however, it was never a song I enjoyed much. Granted I haven't gone back to Pink Floyd's first album much over the years. I just think Pink Floyd did the spacey psychedelic rock much better on later albums, like on Meddle or Saucerful of Secrets. So much of the song, I just find more irritating than interesting. We move onto Into the Void, which is quite an enjoyable Sabbath tune, but stylistically it clashes a bit with what came before. I really like the low growl of Butler's bass on this track, especially in contrast to Ozzie's more nasally vocals. It makes for a nice dichotomy. Then the fast part is pretty cool and gets me headbanging. Stylistically, 100,000 Years works in conjunction with Sabbath (although Sabbath is way better), but I just don't like this song. The vocals are bad and the song is a little too simple. Across the Universe is next and is a huge departure from everything before it. Although, I like it ended the EP as kind of a coda to the story.
Song Score - 6.8/10
So another EP that starts with the protagonist heading to Mars. Did you guys all get together before hand and decide to make Mars the theme of the round? :lol At any rate, Rocket Man tells the story well enough about a man wanting to get away from Earth and go somewhere new. And the song does mention Mars. Works for me, so far. Interstellar Overdrive is supposed to denote the journey and subsequently when everything goes wrong. The fact it's instrumental doesn't help with storytelling, but the chaos of the song helps a bit. Makes it sound more like a the soundtrack to a trippy '60s space movie. Into the Void tells why our protagonist left Earth, it's basically destroyed and under Satan's control, but the protagonist decides to come back to try to improve things with the knowledge he has gained on his trip. 100,000 years signifies that he has been gone a long time and things have changed a lot while he was gone and he is not remembered, but he still tries to make things better with the wisdom he has gained in his trip across the universe..........However, I'm fairly certain he was stoned and imagined the whole thing... :D I don't know, in some respects all the songs make lyrical sense, but at the same time it sort of feels disjointed and rushed. Perhaps you tried to cram too much story into an EP length album. I do look forward to what you have coming next. I always feel like you are a wildcard in roulettes :P
Story Score - 6/10 +1 for bonus theme
The way this flows is mostly OK. There are some problems with varying volume levels between songs. Interstellar Overdrive is a bit too loud and the last 3 tracks were too low. The transitions from Rocket Man-Interstellar Overdrive-Into the Void are all fine enough. I had to go back and listen to Into the Void from the original album to see if it also ended the same way, it does not and I wish you hadn't just done a hard fadeout where you did, it was really jarring. You weren't time limited, so I'm not sure what your reasoning was for that. The final transition is fine, although that probably could have done with a brief pause, given the change of style and tone. Just my 2 cents.

Well, I'm glad you dug it. My goal besides the storyline was to mix decades and genres that still felt natural.
I am noob for sound editing and that may hurt me but I hope the time and effort shows through. Can't tell you how many times I doubted myself.
-
Results? Wow!
-
yeah i have an idea of what i wanna do for the history EP but beyond that i haven't thought very far ahead for whatever else i'm gonna do
i think each of the EPs is gonna have a specific genre theme to it with what little thought i've given to fantasy and personal story so far, tho
-
Results? Wow!
I'm not messing around this roulette :lol
Although, like I said earlier, I want to make sure I give you all enough time to put together your EPs. I'd rather have quality work, instead of fast work...

Results? Wow!
Here have your results!
TAC - Tempting the Sun
Great Leap Skyward – Junkyard Planet
Amorphis – Sacrifice
Be'Lakor – Sun's Delusion
Lahmia – Elegy For A Dying Sun
Decembre Noir – A Weeping Sunrise
First Impression - Not sure if this was intentional, but the story almost sounds metaphorical for the loss of a loved one, could just be me projecting my own thoughts on the story and me reading more into the lyrics than was intended.
I really like the way this starts out with Junkyard Planet. A very metal song! Fitting for the theme. The song is also very balanced between it's lighter and heavier parts. Reminds me of Devin Townsend at times mixed with some proggy power metal. Sacrifice is next and feels like it pairs well with the first track. I've been an Amorphis fan for almost 20 years now, but there albums have never been what I would consider top tier. Rather they are just another in a long line of very good bands that put out solid albums. This song feels like the status quo for Amorphis to me. I like the atmosphere throughout the song and it reminds a bit of a better version of Evergrey at times. Sun's Delusion is probably one of the more interesting Be'Lakor songs I've heard. I've been sent them in previous roulettes, but never liked them enough to really delve into them much more. This however is some great Melodic Death Metal with some interesting riffing and a cool little instrumental part that is very headbang worthy :2metal: I also really like the drumming in this song, so much so that I started to learn it myself. Nothing overly complicated, but a fun groove. Elegy for a Dying Sun is next with some more Melodic Death Metal. This song doesn't quite grab me the same way as Sun's Delusion, but it's still pretty good. Next we come to my favorite song on the EP, A Weeping Sunrise. What a tour de force this song is! The Death/Doom riffing, the beautiful yet haunting piano, the spoken word bits. It all works so well together. And what a way to end the EP! You almost got the bonus point for best song of the round with this one. So close!
Song Score - 8/10
The story starts out by laying the setting with the state of Earth being, essentially, a junkyard after an apocalypse. The rest of the story comes across like an action filled sci-fi romp made by someone whose science consultant was the homeless man that sleeps behind movie studio. So essentially a Michael Bay movie. Sacrifice tells the story of the man that will be taking on a suicide mission to rewrite Earth's history by resetting the Sun. Sun's Delusion moves to how foolhardy it is for a human to think they can affect anything regarding the sun, let alone reset it/turn back time. Next in Elegy for a Dying Sun it turns out the way they had planned to reset everything actually backfires and causes the death of the Sun prematurely within the next day. This outcome actually makes more scientific sense to me than somehow resetting the sun/turning back time. But I guess that's why they call it Science Fiction...The story ends with A Weeping Sunrise. As the sun's last light winks out, life on Earth comes to an end. This was the song that really hammered into my brain that this whole story could be metaphoric for the loss of a loved one, rather than just the loss of all life due to the loss of the sun. Coupled with some of the lyrics in the other songs it really felt like you were going for more than just a sci-fi story. Like I said, I'm sure I just read way more into it than you intended, but it came across as more than the sum of its parts. Another note, I liked the way you separated the Earth and Sun parts using clean vocals for the Earth part and harsh vocals for the parts involving the Sun. That's a clever little story telling trick that I appreciated. I also like the way the last song really sounds like a dirge for all that is lost. Overall I liked the story, despite some of the cheese, but sometimes you get cheese in your sci-fi :lol I don't know if you saw the movie Sunshine, but it seems like you took some inspiration from that movie.
Story Score - 8.5/10 +1 for bonus theme
Flow-wise, I had some trouble with the way songs faded out completely, only to have the next song slowly fade in. For example the long fade in on Sacrifice was weird, I think the way Junkyard Planet ended and the how Sacrifice starts it afforded you an opportunity for a cool crossfade that would have made the transition seamless. It was just kind of a weird way to stitch things together. I do like the way you left intentional gaps between the 3 acts to denote changes in the story and those transitions actually worked much better for me. Having said all that I know you are new to Audacity and the way it works, so I'll take that into account. Although I'm not going to go easy on you.... ;)

Well, I'll happily take the 8/10 for the music and the 8.5/10 for the story. I'm pretty happy with those.
But gee whiz, on the editing. :lol
I just finished editing my Fantasy EP, and I think each of the next ones as far as editing are better. I'm having trouble with one transition for my Personal EP, but I'm not sure what to do with it.

Vmadera - Searching for a New Life
In Flames – Paralyzed
Gojira – Another World
Plini – Away
Haken – Earthrise
The Cyberiam – Sunset on Mars
Gojira – From Mars
Buckethead – Big Sur Moon
First Impressions - There are some really inspired song choices and flow between songs and some really questionable song choices and flow...
It takes some confidence to put a non melodic death metal In Flames song in a submission in one of my roulettes. Unfortunately this isn't going to work out for you. While I pretty much lost track of In Flames after the trash that was Reroute to Remain thru A Sense of Purpose, this sounds very similar to that. This just isn't what I want from In Flames. There are still glimpses of the former brilliance of the band, but it sounds too much like the band is trying to cash in on the modern Alternative Metal scene without fully "getting it." Another World is next and now we get into some good metal. This is from Gojira's most recent album, which I still haven't gotten around to, but after hearing this I think I need to. This is a great Gojira track! Heavy, while still being melodic and headbang worthy. Everything you need in a Gojira song. Next we have the Plini song Away. I've always enjoyed Plini's stuff, even waaaay back when on the old Mike Portnoy forum where we all knew him as CrazyFatKid (I'm pretty sure that's correct, it's been so long). He is quite the inventive guitar player and musician. This song is no exception. Then we have Earthrise, taken from my favorite Haken album. Just a great catchy Prog Metal song, with a great catchy groove. Sunset On Mars is arguably the best song here and I will definitely need to check out this band The Cyberiam. Very Rush like in places. Which is always a win for me. Next is From Mars, which is really just an intro/interlude track (more on this in a moment). Then it wraps up with a bizarre pick with Big Sur Moon. I like Buckethead, but this feels like it belongs as part of a greater whole and doesn't work for me as a closer to this EP. It's kind of a nothing-burger song on its own. Overall your song score was really hurt by the first track and last 2 tracks.
Song Score - 6.9/10
The story starts with the Earth unable to support life for much longer with scientists basically Paralyzed, not know what to do. The lyrics to this song really helps to paint the picture. Another World takes us to the decision that it's time to leave Earth. Lyrically it mostly fits. Away I can see as a movie montage of the scientists building the spaceship they would need to leave Earth and head to Mars, as well as the beginning of the journey. Earthrise feels like a look back at the history of how Earth got to this point, plus the hopes and dreams of those that left, and what they will find. The stories continues with them finally landing on Mars and contemplating their achievement. Only to realize years later that they would rather go back Earth, but know they can't. Overall I like what's happening in the story up to this point. Next they set forth to the stars and make their way to Sirius. It's this last bit of the story that gets a little lost in the songs that were chosen. I'm curious if you meant to add the Gojira song To Sirius to follow up From Mars. Because I feel like there's something missing here, not just story-wise, but musically and in terms of flow, speaking of...
Story Score - 6.5/10 +1 for bonus theme
The way this flows was going so well before we get to the last 2 tracks, which feel tacked on (especially if To Sirius was never intended to be here) and awkward in terms of flow. For instance the way things flow from Paralyzed to Another World to Away all works pretty well. Then the transition between Away and Earthrise feels nothing short of inspired. Even Earthrise to Sunset on Mars to From Mars all still works. It's just those last two tracks and what feels like something missing that throws it all out of whack for me.

This. I don't care if I come last. The challenge im creating a little story from a group of tunes is way more enjoyable then I thought it would be.
-
Ha!, more or less what I expected. The last bit of the story was deff added at the end. I didn't like the happy ending of Sunset on Mars so I added some "ambiguity" with the last two songs. I'm sure if I had the time to mixed the two together it might have clicked differently (I had some ideas in my head to mixed them together), Specially Buckethead.
But as I said, this is fun and that's what I'm enjoying :) still working on round 2!
-
I think I'm gonna take a pass on the Fantasy storyline as well. I've got a ton of dragons/demons/castles/knights/magic/ etc.... type of songs, but I'm just not getting a creative vibe out of it. I've got a few other ideas in mind for themes.
-
- I'm fairly certain the protagonist was just stoned and he imagined the whole experience.
I'm fairly certain this is Stadler's.
This is stunningly accurate. :) :)

My fantasy EP is edited, just not written up yet. It's the historical one that's taking longer to figure out - less freedom to take the narrative where I want to!
-
I’ve got to cave, and try a little Audacity for my historical one, as leaving the transitions of a couple songs ‘as-is’ would be a hot mess.
-
I have a bit of a playlist for the fantasy theme. Its not as fantasy as the wizards/dragons type thing but I'll make it work. I have a loose story that fits in nicely too. Some of the songs aren't your typical 'fantasy' type tunes however.

Haha oh God, should I have banned Steel Panther. I never thought someone would send them. :rollin
I should have the rest of the results up this evening. I was planning on dropping a couple more last night, but apparently I'm an old man and fell asleep at 9.

Why do I have a feeling that my Historical EP will share the same topic as others :corn working on the story, hope to spend some time editing tonight.
-
Alrighty then - historical EP is complete. My edits aren't going to win any "Best Sound Engineering" awards or anything - it's more like a "barber-edit" ... a little trim here and there. I'm content with it though. Flow is far better than if I just left the tracks in their original form.
Now on to the story of me. If only I could use Rush / I Think I'm Going Bald.

That's what I figured. And it could also net you a 6.5 as well. :lol

Jingle - Lucifer's Prayer
Flaming Row – Father's Theme
Ad Infinitum – See You In Hell
Dynazty – Unholy Deterrent
Pyramaze – Forsaken Kingdom
Daydream XI – The Guts of Hell
Evergrey – Unforgivable
The Unity – The God of Temptation
The Ferrymen – A New Evil
Epysode – Now and Forever
First Impression - While the songs fit well together, I don't know that they support the narrative enough.
So this starts with the little piano interlude of Father's Theme. Not off to a great start ;) Then we jump into See You In Hell. I'd heard of Ad Infinitum before, but never gave them a listen. I'm liking this song. Great vocals, nice moody buildup that explodes into the chorus of crunchy yet melodic guitars. A fairly short, but sweet song. Unholy Deterrent kind of falls into the fairly generic power/heavy metal genre. I'm getting an Evergrey meets Thunderstone vibe from this. It's not a bad song, but a notable step down from See You In Hell. And I actually like the vocalist here better than either Tom Englund or Pasi Rantanen. Next up is Forsaken Kingdom which is a song that I know and like. I've been a Pyramaze fan for a long time now. This is a great pick from their best album! The Guts of Hell work well stylistically and thematically. The only problem I have with this song is the less than stellar production compared to the rest of the songs here. There are some great riffs and soloing here and the vocalist reminds me a lot of Russell Allen. Unforgivable isn't a great song. I'm not really a fan of their stuff from Recreation Day through Hymns for the Broken. I really don't like Tom Englund's vocals here either. Not much happens that excites me in this song. The God of Temptation is next. This would be a pretty good song if not for the striking metal sound that happens on the snare hits in various sections of the song. I just don't like it. Other than that I'm getting some Tad Morose and DGM vibes from this. The vocalist is competent enough. Next is A New Evil. This is a :metal song! And I thought I recognized the vocalist, it's Ronnie Romero from Lords of Black. I like him. And I guess Magnus Karlsson is in this band as well. That makes sense, I can hear his guitar style all across this. This is just a great song with a great guitar solo in the second half! Now and Forever feels like a great way to end this album musically. Especially with the trading male/female vocals. Works as a compliment to Ad Infinitum in the beginning and a counterpoint to the whole middle section of the EP. Pretty great music for the most part with just a couple of clunkers.
Song Score - 7.4/10
So I see what you are going for with the theme of twisting the Lord's Prayer into Lucifer's Prayer using the song titles as the backbone for the theme. The first 2 tracks actually kind of work for this lyrics wise (well the 2nd track, since the first has no lyrics). Actually I can see Unholy Deterrent working lyrically sort of. Lines like "Unleash the unholy deterrent, Abandon the laws of humanity, Strike down and rule them in terror" help. Forsaken Kingdom actually works quite well in possibly telling the story of how Satan fell from grace and is now the ruler over a forsaken kingdom and how he can't get out. The more I think about it, the more I'm liking how this story is turning out. The Guts of Hell tells of the tortures going on in hell and souls crying out for help in vain. I think I see what you were going for with Unforgivable, it could be the recounting of someone commiting an unforgivable sin that lands them in Hell. The God of Temptation and A New Evil kind of follow along the same lines of thought. The last song is the only one I have a problem with thematically and kind of takes me out of the story/theme. I thought the theme overall was interesting/unique, although I think it could have been pulled off a little more elegantly. I also struggled with whether or not this really fits the Sci-Fi theme, so I came up with a compromise and gave you half a point for the bonus theme.
Story Score - 7/10 +0.5 for bonus theme
So I was actually pretty impressed with the way everything flowed together without any editing. The intro track to See You In Hell-Unholy Deterrent-Forsaken Kingdom-Guts of Hell all worked pretty well. The weird production of Guts of Hell kind of ruined things for a moment. Also the transitions from Unforgivable to God of Temptation to A New Evil could have done with some editing. Other than that it mostly flows well, with nothing too jarring.

Cyril - Cry for All That Is Beautiful
Gunship – Dark All Day
Magdalena Bay – Chaeri
Daniel Olsén, Jonathan Eng & Linnea Olsson – Dead of Night
CHVRCHES – Nightmares
Magdalena Bay – Dreamcatching
Daniel Olsén, Jonathan Eng & Linnea Olsson – The World We Knew
Porter Robinson – Sea of Voices
Porter Robinson – Fellow Feeling
Porter Robinson – Goodbye to a World
First Impression - I'm fairly certain no one else in this roulette would like this EP, but this was surprisingly amazing.
I've been mulling over what to write out in this writeup, because a track by track like I had planned for all the EPs just doesn't seem right for this one, but I think that's just going to have to do. Basically if you had told me that this was an official conceptual EP by a band and sent it to me, I wouldn't have questioned it, I think you captured lightning in a bottle with this one.....Anyway onto the writeup.
So I guess it's time for me to finally dive in on Gunship. Dark All Day has convinced me. This is a great song, with that opening with the sax and the slow buildup. It's so atmospheric and really pulls me in. Then the sax is used to great effect throughout the song. The vocals are good to start out, but the vocals in the chorus just give me chills especially coupled with the sax and those '80s style synth toms. Chaeri is an interesting song. I've never heard of Magdalena Bay before, but this is another artist I plan on checking out. This song has that "beautiful, but dark" atmosphere to it. The vocals have a bit of that childish sound, similar to Grimes, which works very well with the production on this track. Then we have Dead of Night which is a bit more upbeat musically, if not lyrically. I like the change of pace and the vocals here are also great. That first line "Can you tell? Does it show? I'm alone in a city of ghosts" is great! Next is Nightmares and just like Gunship this song has convinced me to finally fully check out CHVRCHES. That voice is kind of hypnotizing.... I love it! When the beat finally drops on this with the chorus, man I feel that. What can I say, this is Synthpop with dark rock undertones done right. Dreamcatching is another Magdalena Bay song with more interesting tones/beats and vocals. I guess the song is best described as Chillwave infused Synthpop with a bit of Wonky/Glitch thrown in. When that second half kicks in with the drop and some heavier beats it takes on a whole new life. The World We Knew has a completely different tone to everything that came before, but is no less beautiful and haunting. After that we have 3 Porter Robinson tracks. These are the 3 songs that I was familiar with going into this and surprisingly are the weakest of the bunch as far as song quality/my enjoyment goes. Not to say they are bad songs. Far from it, just not quite up to the same standard as everything else. I'll have more to say about these in the story section. Overall this is probably an EP I'll go back to from time to time, just lots of great beats and vocals.
Song Score - 8.7/10
So the story was a hell of a thing. Part The Matrix, part Cyberpunkish, part Inception. I do kind of wish you had named the characters in the story, because I was a little confused which was which reading through the story because of only using pronouns. No big deal, after a few readthroughs I figured it out. Also each song really felt like it had a purpose in telling the story. Then the way you used the 3 Porter Robinson tracks to close it out was nothing short of inspired. Especially the last 2 tracks, the music plays a part in what is going on in the story and how the story ends. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Story Score - 9/10 +1 for bonus theme
Everything here flowed extremely well, except the transition from Dreamcatching to The World We knew. That was a little awkward. On the other hand the transition from Dead of Night to Nightmares was flawless, I didn't catch in the first time.

That's something I learned in Uni - always be saving. There's nothing worse than losing 2-3 pages of an essay / thesis / paper. My 1st year room-mate lost about 10-pages of an entire paper. I learned very early that Ctrl+S is your friend. Now with cloud apps and autosave, it's a no-brainer.

Wolfking - Rise of the Nanobots
Eidolon – De-Evolution
Scar Symmetry – Seers of the Eschaton
Scar Symmetry – Cryonic Harvest
Blaze Bayley – Robot
Eidolon – Eternal Call
Symphony X – Iconoclast
Flotsam and Jetsam – A Place to Die
First Impression - :metal hmm, that might be too vague, let me try to express myself a little better :2metal:
METAL! That's the name of the game with this EP. Kicking things off with a great Eidolon track, De-Evolution. This is one of those bands I'd heard about numerous times over the years, but never checked out, so I'm glad you sent a couple songs by them. This track has a great groove and some epic riffs. After that we have a pair of Scar Symmetry tunes. I kind of lost track of these guys after Holographic Universe, so it was nice to get a couple tracks from their albums after that. I've always liked their brand of Melodic Death Metal merged with Prog. I love the tone on the lead guitars in both of these songs. I mean it's Per Nilsson, he's a great guitarist and songwriter! I know him from a couple other bands that I like too, Kaipa and Zierler. Now onto the most surprising song of this entire round. My dislike for the Blaze era of Maiden is well known. I just don't feel any passion or emotion from him in Maiden's music. I always thought he was a bad pick for the band. But this song.....this not only works for his voice, but he has actual emotion and good tone to his singing here. How come he couldn't bring this level of energy to Iron Maiden. Now I will have to check out some of his solo stuff. This song totally threw me for a loop, I'm still in shock.... :lol It also helps that this song is absolutely headbang worthy :metal Maybe I'm experiencing Stockholm Syndrome... Anyway, moving on to the 2nd Eidolon song. This one is just as metal as the other one, but perhaps a bit more proggy? Maybe? I also like where this is placed on the EP stylistically between Blaze and Symphony X. Also, until you pointed it out in your PM, I had no idea Frank Aresti was involved with this band. I love his style of lead guitar work and this song is no different. Iconoclast is next and is a fitting song here. I love Symphony X, but I never listened to anything post-Paradise Lost much. I should rectify that. I think my reasoning is, I prefer the more proggy version of Symphony X (basically everything up to The Odyssey) versus the more Metal version they've become since. This ends with a band that I also never got around to listening to much. I've heard the odd song here or there, but not A Place to Die. This song is just :metal Overall this EP is :metal It's kicks your ass all the way through!
Song Score - 8.3/10
De-Evolution starts the story off by introducing our antagonist and does a good job of telling of his sinister nature. The two Scar Symmetry tracks move the plot forward telling how our supervillain takes over the population and then turns them into some kind of cyborgs for his purpose of taking over the world. I like how you used the song Robot to give the perspective of one of the cyborgs. The way I read the lyrics, the cyborgs seem to be aware of what happened to them and what they are doing, but are powerless to stop. Our antagonist as full control over their actions and so leads them to war with the world. Kind of puts a more sinister twist on the whole story. These were innocent people. Eternal Call goes into this a bit more as they are marched off to war. Iconoclast recounts the final battle where the people of the nations rise up and ultimately defeat the cyborg army. All the lyrics to this song fit extremely well story-wise. This ends with A Place to Die which has our antagonist basically go into a deep depression because things didn't go his way and all his plans are for naught and then kills himself. Worst supervillain ever and good riddance ;) There's lots to like about the story. I'd watch this movie. I mean, it's not the most in depth story, but you can only get so far with the EP length.
Story Score - 7.5/10 +1 for bonus theme
Overall the flow works pretty well. I saw no reason to run each song into the next and you didn't for the most part and they all work well on their own. However, the way you blended the 2 Scar Symmetry songs together was a nice touch. I didn't even notice it the first few times I listened through. I also liked the way the spoken word part at the end of Cryonic Harvest leads into Robot. Perfect placement and well executed. The only issue I have is the Symphony X song being just a little quieter than the rest of the songs. Other than that, it all worked quite well.
Flow Score - 8.5/10
Overall Score - 25.3/30

Pup, I don't mean to belabor the point, and this will be the last I post on this, but I tried to do some Audacity and you've given three people that didn't even fucking bother 2 to 2.5 more points than me. In all seriousness, I'm kind of fried about it. I know this is all about fun, but I honestly wouldn't have bothered if I knew better.
I tried fade ins and fade outs because that's what I thought I was supposed to do. I don't know man, I feel kind of screwed, honestly.
I feel like trying to do what was encouraged in the spirit of the roulette as opposed to those that didn't even bother isn't sitting well. I'm not gonna Evermind rage quit and if you have to Rule 6 me for complaining then fine, but I'm kind of WTF at this point.

I'm not sure what to say to this to make you feel better about it, other than I have already given the round 2 ep a listen and the flow is much improved from round 1. And in all honesty, I might have been a little too harsh in the scoring of your EPs flow.
Also, I explained my methodology in the OP regarding how I do my edits. It's not always about crossfading/fading in/out everything. Sometimes 2 songs just don't need it. But again like I said, so far your round 2 EP is much improved.
I don't know what all else to say, other than, I want everyone to have fun here. If you aren't then there is no hard feelings if you want to back out. I run these mostly to have fun and to try my best to make sure the participants have fun. :-\

It'd be one thing to give a charity point with a warning that it needs to improve on the next one. I mean, I downloaded the program and roughed my way through it. I put the effort in, and in the end, I just wasted my time.
And my 2nd one IS improved, and I'm really happy with the shit I did for the Round 4 EP.
Sorry. I won't detract any more from the roulette.

Pup, I don't mean to belabor the point, and this will be the last I post on this, but I tried to do some Audacity and you've given three people that didn't even fucking bother 2 to 2.5 more points than me. In all seriousness, I'm kind of fried about it. I know this is all about fun, but I honestly wouldn't have bothered if I knew better.
I tried fade ins and fade outs because that's what I thought I was supposed to do. I don't know man, I feel kind of screwed, honestly.
I feel like trying to do what was encouraged in the spirit of the roulette as opposed to those that didn't even bother isn't sitting well. I'm not gonna Evermind rage quit and if you have to Rule 6 me for complaining then fine, but I'm kind of WTF at this point.
I'm not sure what to say to this to make you feel better about it, other than I have already given the round 2 ep a listen and the flow is much improved from round 1. And in all honesty, I might have been a little too harsh in the scoring of your EPs flow.

I wouldn't say you wasted your time. You are learning a new skill, so to speak. No one can be a master at something the first time they do it and I don't believe in handing out "participation trophies." That doesn't give people the incentive to improve. Again, your 2nd EP is much improved and I'm looking forward to what you do with the rest of them. As far as those who just sent Spotify playlists that scored better in the flow department, believe me, I was just as surprised as you are. Sometimes life just isn't fair.

Go to your happy place, Puppers.
As for the flow, for rd 1, I specifically picked songs that transitioned well to/from one another naturally, though I think one was a bit off. Rd 2, three edits had to be made because it was gonna sound like shit otherwise. If I can pick songs that naturally blend well, that’s my first preference.
Work smarter, not harder.
Oh, and cheat.
-
I’m just listening to my round two submission again and I’m not gonna lie, the natural flow in my choices is pretty strong imo.
I’m looking forward to seeing Pupper’s notes on As The Heavens Split Above though. Imo, that was pretty weak, but it’s not been outed yet and the last score was a 27/30, but I don’t know if we’re descending or ascending.

Really enjoyed reading that writeup thanks Puppies. Glad you liked it.

Also, that was the only involvement Aresti had in Eidolon. Just the one guest solo.

I'm basing the songs I'm picking purely trying to reflect the story the best way possible. Lyrics have always been the thing I neglect with music so trying a different approach with this roulette.

Elite - 2184: Inari's Penultimate Adventure
Martin O’Donnell – Ghosts of Reach (Halo 2 OST)
Blood Stain Child – Stargazer
VOLA – 24 Light-Years
Simon Chylinski – Red Alert (Subnautica OST)
Obsidian Kingdom – The Pump
Simon Chylinski – Fear the Reapers (Subnautica OST)
Muse – Panic Station
Cartographer – Built With Blood and Fears and Tears
Meshuggah – Dancers to a Discordant System
Andrew Prahlow – Into the Wilds (Outer Wilds OST)
Dyble Longdon - Heartwashing
First Impression - Strange song selection....and yet brilliant in places.
I like the way you used the soundtrack pieces interspersed throughout the EP and starting with Ghosts of the Reach followed by Stargazer, I almost feel like I could be watching the opening sequence and first part of an epic anime show or something. Not sure if that's was what you were going for, but that is what I thought every time I listened to this. I don't watch anime, so I may be way off base. I've seen some opening sequences and credits for various anime's and this just reminded me of those. Plus Stargazer makes me want to get up and headbang and dance and get in the pit all at the same time :lol This song is just so catchy and cheesy and epic and weird and awesome....Tim would hate this :lol Next is 24 Light-Years and while this starts off pretty good with a moody intro, I'm not as keen on this song as Stargazer. It's still a pretty good song, the problem is it just doesn't quite reach the climax I'm looking for. I left wanting more. Even when the song does kind of break out it's a little anticlimactic. I'm aware of Subnautica, it's one of my favorite games of all time and the soundtrack and sound design of the overall game is a big reason why. Having said that, I'm not sure I like Red Alert here (I understand why it's there for the story), nor do I care for The Pump (again I know why it's here). I like Obsidian Kingdom, but this song just leaves me a little cold (maybe that's the intention :lol ). I do think Fear the Reapers has a great ominous tone to signify what it stands for in the story and I think it fits a little better for what I have in my mind stylistically for this story than Red Alert. Then we have Panic Station, which on first listen was the biggest WTF of the round. The more I listened to it and thought about how it relates to the story the more I liked it. Just the eccentricities of the song alone work so well (mostly the eccentricities of Matt Bellamy). It's a fun song with some neat disco grooves, but also hints at ominous undertones. Built With Blood and Fears and Tears is another interesting pick. As far as the instrumental/transitional tracks go, this one is the most interesting musically. And thankfully it's short enough that it doesn't lose my interest. The same cannot be said about Dancers to a Discordant System. I'm split about 50/50 when it comes to Meshuggah. Some songs I love and some I just don't. This falls into the latter category. I just don't feel this song at all, no matter how many times I listen to it. I can always appreciate what they are doing on a technical level, but this one just doesn't jump out at me as particularly interesting. Plus it's nearly 9 minutes long. Then we come to the final 2 tracks which are kind of the peace after the storm. I like both of these a lot! Overall the music is a bit of a mixed bag, but nothing was outright terrible. Just a couple out of place things and one that I just couldn't get into.
Song Score - 7.4/10
I thought the story was borne from an intriguing concept, which was told quite well with the music you chose, actually nearly perfectly, in my humble opinion. I would have probably swapped out Red Alert for something else, but that's just me. The story reads like part Horizon: Zero Dawn and part Fallout and part The 100. That's 2 video games and 1 TV show if Tim is reading this ;) I liked the twists you put on it and would like to see this world fleshed out a bit. I gotta say that I love the way you ended with Into the Wilds and Heartwashing, it's a great ending, with a possibility for a continuing story. Would probably make for an interesting TV show, maybe pitch this to a producer :D
Story Score - 9/10 +1 for bonus theme
The way this flows is also pretty well done. You made nice use of edits here to make it all work together pretty well. The only part I wasn't too sold on was going from Dancers to a Discordant System to Into the Wilds. There were some transitions that were almost imperceptible or nearly perfectly executed even though I could tell the change in song. Overall well done.

Ariich - Void I: Ghost of Innocence
Alcest - Abysses (intro)
Antimatter - Wish I Was Here
Evergrey - In the Absence of Sun
Phideaux - Helix
Borealis - The Ghosts of Innocence
Netherbird - Void Dancer
First Impression - Congrats Ariich :neverusethis:
Bonus point for best song: Antimatter - Wish I was Here
The Abysses intro is a great way to start this, but seeing as it's just an intro track, let's move on to the real meat and potatoes. Wish I Was Here is probably the most moving and incredible track I've heard in a long time. I think it also benefits from how you blended the intro track with it. Between the incredible buildup with those vocals and lyrics to that epic Anathema-like climax to the amazing, emotive guitar solo, the flutes....Just a beautiful song and earned you the best song of the round and a bonus point. Oddly enough this is from the only Antimatter album I don't have. Guess I need to pick it up now. In the Absence of Sun is a newer Evergrey track and one that I enjoy quite a bit. I actually don't actively dislike Tom Englund's vocals here. This is another song with a great atmospheric buildup. This one also has a great explosion leading into the chorus. Then a great little melodic guitar solo. This might be the most I've enjoyed an Evergrey song in a while. Helix is next and is one that almost felt out of place on my first few listens, but then I noticed how well it links up with the first 2 proper songs with that piano motif that sounds very similar to the piano in both the Antimatter and Evergrey songs. Nice! I'm not big on the vocals here. I'm not a fan of her timbre and her choices of vocal melodies. This is my least favorite song here. Then more piano to start out Ghosts of Innocence. I'm started to wonder if you did this on purpose ;) This song feels very epic. I especially like the harmonized vocals in the chorus and the female vocals here are way more to my liking than on Helix. Netherbird closes us out here with some Symphonic Black Metal, which surprisingly works in context and even stylistically with everything that came before. And surprisingly this is a black metal band I haven't heard of before. Interesting. And they have 6 albums under their belt....guess I have some listening to do. I think the reason this works to well is because it's basically just a symphonic power metal song with harsh vocals and tremolo'd guitars instead of fast riffing. It's sonically very similar. That is until you get to the blast beat part. This is a great selection of songs that all work very well together, musically.
Song Score - 8.5/10 +1 for best song of the round
This story shares some similarities with Cyril's story. People trapped in a place that isn't actually real. Again this has a bit of a Matrix vibe to it, with a little bit of the storyline from a Star Trek Deep Space 9 episode, where Chief O'Brien gets put in a prison, but it's all in his head and blah blah blah, nobody cares and Tim has no idea what I'm talking about :lol Interesting concept. The way you told the story with the chosen songs is really good. Each song makes sense. I could see this being turned into a movie. I'd watch that. Maybe you and other Rich need to get together with Cyril and write a screenplay for a movie :D
Story Score - 9/10 +1 for bonus theme
Flow was, as usual for your EPs, really well done. However I had a little issue with the transition between the last 2 tracks. It's almost perfect, but just noticeable enough to be troublesome. It's analogous to the uncanny valley. It looks perfect, but something seems off. I don't know, there probably wasn't a way to do it any differently. Like the piano melody that ends Ghosts of Innocence and the guitar melody that begins Void Dancer are nearly identical, but just different enough to sound odd back to back. Then there's the issue of Void Dancer being audibly lower in the mix compared to the rest of the tracks. Little nit-picks, I know, but felt the need to point them out.
Flow Score - 8/10
Overall Score - 27.5/30

Not a bad start at all! Although I'm still 0.2 behind Cyril despite getting the best song bonus point. :lol
Yes fair enough about the transition into Void Dancer, there was only so much I could do for the shift from bright piano to moody acoustic guitar. I'd argue the score (while still good of course!) has been punished a little much, given the effort I put in to gradually slowing down the piano outro to Ghosts so that the tempo matched the start of Void Dancer. :P I also did the same for the end of In the Absence of Sun flowing into Helix, plus I chopped the start and end of Helix off as the quirky prog sound didn't fit with the flow or style.
I don't think the overall volume of Void Dancer is materially quieter than the previous tracks, but it's a different production style so maybe ends up sounding like a bigger difference than it actually is.
-
Thanks for listening and I'm glad you enjoyed all of that, at least for the most part. It was fun putting stuff together and the sons I chose are probably not all the best possible choices, but I made do with what I had and knew and I think it worked out quite alright! :)
Shame you didn't like the Meshuggah track, because it takes up about a quarter of the EP :lol as for the transition to the final two tracks.. I thought it worked really well actually :) you have that fadeout with the breakdown at the end and the suddenly you get the banjo from the penultimate track that starts out really dissonant before gradually turning into consonance. I must say this effect was better with headphones on than on loudspeakers.
and I might send some more Cartographer in a next round, they are(were?) a pretty cool local post-rock group that I saw live at least twice. Their only album, of which this track comes is an enjoyable listen!
For those who would like to listen to this EP, here's a link to the music and story/lyrics (https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ag0Y0Zf-NtHtgoEAfYTJlk1MjkZwiQ?e=5kYzjl). Maybe I should flesh out all of this a bit more indeed, if I ever get time. It was fun trying to build a world that made sense. I actually scrapped a lot of stuff that I intended to get in there, but it became a lot to type out! I took inspiration from Altered Carbon and random sci-fi stuff I've seen and then made it into a story that hopefully kind of makes sense!

Deadeye - As the Heavens Split Above
David Bowie – Space Oddity
Ayreon – Journey On the Waves of Time
The Long Winters – The Commander Thinks Aloud
Mastodon – Oblivion
Avenged Sevenfold – Higher
First Impression - One song feels kind of out of place
Bonus point for best EP title
I thought it was funny I got both Space Oddity and the song that was based off of it (Major Tom (Coming Home)) in the same round. I still like this song better. It's just a classic Bowie song. It's a great example of using space and dynamics in a song. Sure it may be a little cheesy at times, but it's a well constructed song. Journey On the Waves of Time, is a song I know, but it's from one of my least liked Ayreon albums. I'm not a big fan of the vocals on this song (I believe this is Ralph Scheepers, not a fan), but on the other hand I like the keyboard melodies on this song. When it comes to Ayreon this song is just average/standard/vanilla. He has much better stuff, in my opinion. Next is The Commander Thinks Aloud and this is the most out of place song on any EP I think I've ever received in my roulettes :lol It's not a bad song, but the vocals kind of grate after a while and the piano melody is a little incessant. After this we have Oblivion. Now we are talking. This album should have probably been banned, as it was my 2009 album of the year, but I wanted to give you guys options and I wanted to see how you guys would mix songs I already knew with songs I didn't together. So I guess I got exactly what I wanted. Oblivion is a great track! Then again, Crack the Skye is Mastodon's crowning achievement. The we have Higher from my favorite Avenged Sevenfold album. Another great track and one with a good buildup with piano and harmonized vocals. The meat of the song is full of everything I love about A7X these days. Great face melting guitar solos, incredible drumming, and M Shadows ever improving vocals. Plus they have a knack for great melodic hooks. This also works well as a closing track for your EP.
Song Score - 8/10
The story is interesting and fairly short. Which actually works in your favor a bit here. It's a depressing story for sure. I like the way you used Space Oddity as the beginning of the mission (used similarly to the way Kingshemland used Major Tom). The the Ayreon song talks about the mission in general, where they are going, etc. The Commander Thinks Aloud is used to great effect for the story and the end of this song is where the story gets depressing. Even though the mission has just barely begun, it all ends in tragedy. Then I like the way you used both Oblivion and Higher to give the points of view of the crew members final thoughts and final demise. I feel the story could have been fleshed out a bit more. Perhaps a bit more explanation of the mission at hand, but it is what it is. Sounds like it could be the synopsis or the start of a good story. On the other hand I really liked the EP title, so you will get the bonus point for that.
Story Score - 7.2/10 +1 for bonus theme +1 for best EP title
I'll be blunt, most of the songs here did not flow well for me. The beginning and end of the Ayreon track needed editing, and so did the transition from The Commander Thinks Aloud to Oblivion. Going from Oblivion to Higher actually worked quite well. The other probably I had was the complete style shift with The Commander Thinks Aloud. I know lyrically it works, but musically it did not and really took me out of the whole experience. Hopefully this can be improved upon for the next round.

That's a negative Ghost Rider. Although I can see how you might think it is.

I'm probably the bottom right then.
Then Fleetwood Mac is Kingshmegland.
The Top Middle is Chad.
Mind's Eye is Assasination...also Chad
Chad's History Twist is that Lee Harvey Oswald travelled to Canada and shot Pierre Trudeau during a motorcade in Toronto. ;D

Besides my song choices for this EP being pretty wacky (I’ll guess you’ll see it when everything is guessed), I’m actually really happy with how well this EP flows, even though looking at the tracks it shouldn’t really. I just hope mister Young Dogs will actually enjoy the music :lol
At least I didn’t put Angel of Death on my EP :neverusethis:

I listened to the song, well half of it, and when I was done, I thought it reminded me of Michael Jackson's Human Nature.

Yes, exactly, AI stands for Allen Iverson. :lol
-
Those album arts are cool, are they AI generated?
They are AI generated, using my own algorithm. I started really getting into AI generated artwork once the first ones started showing up online at places like Google Collabs or Github, etc. So I started pulling ideas from those and have been cobbling together my own over the last few years. It's still very janky to use because the coding is mediocre at best, but it does what I want it to do. It's interesting what AI can do these days.
As you can tell I went with a much more abstract style than a more realistic style. I think I prefer that, because otherwise you start getting into the uncanny valley, especially with AI generated art.

It’s not an issue! :) It’s a little obvious as a theme for this round, so I kind of expected someone to do it and almost did a WWII theme myself as well (spoiler; mine is very close to WWII :lol), that’s all.

On a slightly related note; I’m absolutely not well-versed in Fantasy.. I mean, I’ve watched The Lord of the Rings, read the ASOIAF books and seen some other random films, but I don’t really know what the common themes and tropes are the same way I do with SciFi for example. Does this matter? Can I just make up random stuff as long as it has swords and magic and some medieval society (:neverusethis:)?

Does this matter? Can I just make up random stuff as long as it has swords and magic and some medieval society (:neverusethis:)?
Dude, just read a lot of Dio lyrics and you’ll get the idea
-
A3 is mine.
-
Slayer - Angel of Death
I guess someone HAD to do WWII, right?
And this is an issue because?
It’s not an issue! :) It’s a little obvious as a theme for this round, so I kind of expected someone to do it and almost did a WWII theme myself as well (spoiler; mine is very close to WWII :lol), that’s all.
WWI?

I struggled with this one at first. I came up with something somewhat fantasy related but thinking about it, it probably falls more into the history theme. I'm too far in now though.

I wasn't feeling (or coming up with anything good) for the Fantasy theme. I don't suspect that the extra point is going to be the difference of 1st or 2nd place for me. It might make the difference between 8th and 9th tho! :lol
Any decision on how many will make it to the final round? Just let us all in, there's only 9 of us. Surely you can handle 9 :heybaby:

I'm guessing I'm not going to see an EP from Stadler this weekend...
Yeah, I'm sorry for the radio silence. I struggled with an idea, and while I wasn't thrilled with what I came up with, I had fully intended on finishing it up on Saturday morning, but man plans and god laughs. Carry on; I'll comment from the peanut gallery! :) :) :)

How did you know? :o

no, Ich bin ein Berliner is not the title for my EP!
It is Chad’s, though!
As soon as you do get my EP title and know what it’s about (something related to WWI as I said earlier in the thread), it will be pretty easy to line up the songs, I guess. But maybe it’s not, I don’t know.

i just think it's funny how off-base everyone has been :corn

Right, did you send a bunch of black metal then?
Wiegedood and Primeval Well were sent by Cyril?
I guess ‘The Southern Rebellion…’ title would fit.

there we go :rollin

Dare I guess that Sunrise: If I Should Lose You Before the Night is Through, The Star Will Fall From The Sky is Elite’s EP title? Coz there’s two left unassigned, and that sure as heck isn’t the one I put in.

Alrighty, getting caught up for the day. Apologies, but I basically ignore y'all during the work day. :biggrin:
Also... Pupp's... I notice that my final song somehow vanished from the unsolved list with the last update.
Not sure how that happened, but it's fixed now.
Yeah, but it hadn’t been solved!! :lol

I see Rammstein....Elite

Can I have an A for hangmanen?
Is the Sabaton song on wolfking’s EP?
One song title is ‘Burned at the Stake’. I bet that’s on the witch trials EP.
Both Dear Hunter songs and Blair Mowat on Cyril’s EP?

@ Pup, if you're enjoying this so much that you want to add another round, I have no problem with that. Not sure how I could do one after I spilled my guts on the personal one, but I'll give it a shot.
-
Yeah, I mean, I'm piecing together my songs for my fantasy EP which is just about done and need to write the story. I have a couple of songs pinned for the personal round but feel so far what I have won't do it justice so that will need some time. Another round though, if you're spacing it as well as you are now, I'd be down for that.

First Impression - Some killer music, not so killer flow
I don't know if I would call this cheating, since you followed the rules, and even though you have the Mob Rules stuff separated into into its various parts it's still technically one song. This is similar to an EP I sent in one of Cyril's roulettes, where I based the story around a longer piece and supplemented it with additional songs.
So for the purposes of this write up I'm going to take The Oswald File as one song. So I've heard the name Mob Rules around these parts in passing, but never heard anything that made me want to check them out. This song is quite simply, awesome! Each of its parts work and flow well (as they should) and it's all brought together with some good passionate vocals and, while not technically overwhelming, the music is pretty engaging and played FOR the song rather than technical wankery. I appreciate that. Speaking of the vocals, this guy reminds me a bit of a slightly better Tobias Sammet. I love when bands use field recordings and segues to immerse you in the story of a song. Mob Rules uses this to great effect throughout and feels very natural to the song. Let's just say this song has made me want to check out this band in greater depth. Any suggestions as to where to start would be appreciated. Now onto the other songs, none of which were as good.....Assassination, is.....alright.... It was bold of you to send Mind's Eye, seeing as how I rated this album a 3/10 :D But Assassination is at least catchy in the chorus and is backed by some decent instrumentation. One of the biggest detractors is the absolutely corny (in a bad way) keyboards. I also don't particularly like Andreas Novak's vocals. He has a little bit of that nasal congestion sound to his voice that I don't really like. There is a pretty cool guitar solo in the back half that I really enjoy, which proceeds to go into a really cool drum pattern which unfortunately doesn't last long enough and then goes into more of those Casio toy keyboard sounds. Feed My Revolver isn't quite as catchy to me, but the vocals are a bit better sounding to me. The keyboards are also much better sounding in this song. Some of the lyrics, vocal phrasing, and vocal melodies are a bit awkward which kind of detracts from the song, but that's mostly in the bridge section. Overall not a terrible song. The Black Parade starts off with a great heavy riff that I love. I'm not sure I get the issue some people have with Tommy Karevik's vocals. He has a very clean tone and in some ways has a similar singing style to Arno Menses, although different tonal qualities. I'm obviously very familiar with this song, since Mercy Falls is a fantastic record. This song is a great closer to that album and works as a great closer here. This song would be the strongest here if not for The Oswald File. Overall I'd say this is quite strong musically, I don't know that I can knock the song score down too badly for 10 minutes of mediocrity, especially since the majority is taken up with great stuff!
Song Score - 8/10
The story works well especially due to The Oswald File being the main piece of the puzzle, telling the bulk of the story. I like how you used the two Mind's Eye songs as a flashback and an alternate perspective, respectively. Ending it with The Black Parade, while not completely lyrically relevant, works splendidly. I can see how you can draw out certain lyrics and apply them to the story at hand. Overall a great retelling of a widely known historical event.
Story Score - 9/10 +1 for bonus theme
Now the flow......at first I wasn't feeling it at all. I thought the transitions to the Mind's Eye and Seventh Wonder songs were too abrupt and I didn't like it. However I really began to see what you were going for (I mean, I know you mentioned what you were trying to do in the PM, but I digress). The ideas were sound, but I still think the execution could have been better. I know you said you weren't really going for flow points in this, but I appreciate the willingness to try here. Having said all that, I actually took some time in the middle of writing this review/result and redid the way this flows to something a little closer to what you were going for. I'll provide a link at the end of this post if you want to give it a listen (and for anyone else who is interested in my take).
Flow Score - 7.5/10

TAC - The Curse of Salem
Genus Ordinis Dei – Salem
Candlemass – Witches
Revocation – Witch Trials
Warfect – Witch Burner
Sacrifice – Burned at the Stake
Blair Mowat – Souls Released
First Impression - Trying to out-metal Wolfking's last EP. :metal
Very metally! Is that a word? So Salem is first and has a very Fleshgod Apocalypse does Deathcore vibe to it. Complete with heavy symphonics and the female vocals mixed with harsh vocals. There are some really cool melodies here, but the song may be slightly too relentless with harsh vocals being as harsh as possible. Not a huge problem, just a little too much in places. This is followed by Witches. Not much can make me want to headbang as much as Candlemass. The huge riff at the beginning of this is just so headbang worthy. This song is just a fantastic metal song and Messiah Marcolin is as good as always on the mic. I mean Leif Edling just knows how to write a metal song :metal Next is Witch Trial by Revocation. This is one of those bands that does the mix between Thrash and Death Metal right! And this song is no exception. Great drums, great guitar leads and riffs! And what a closing solo, which is sadly cut short by the fade out (which I know isn't your fault since that's how it is on the album). Witch Burner follows with some more heavy Thrash! This has a very similar vibe to Revocation with more great riffs and solos. Also the bass is very audible and there are some amazing bass lines here too! I really like the second half where the tempo slows down a bit and the band is able to expand musically with some more crushing riffs. The drummer also does some more interesting things in the second half. Then, surprise! More Thrash with Burned at the Stake. Not that I'm complaining....although this might be the least interesting song here, though there are some cool things going on here. The ending is pretty great when the band ups the tempo and charges to the finish :metal At the end is Souls Released which kind of ends the EP on a similar symphonic element as it began, although in a much lighter fashion. All in all some very strong metal throughout this :2metal:
Song Score - 8.25/10
The story is overall well done, but feels somewhat incomplete. Would make for a good episode of a TV show, probably. I just think the story could have been expanded upon a little bit. And your EP being only 28 minutes long, you could have thrown another song or 2 in, but I digress. I like the twist with The Queen of the Damned and the Hierarchy. It might have been cool to expand on that a little with another song. Either way I enjoyed what was there and all the music and lyrics served the story well.
Story Score - 8.5/10 +1 for Bonus theme
Now, the flow here is improved from your last EP. Plus the way a couple of the songs ended probably didn't help with your efforts of editing. So I have to give props for improving your editing skills. I'm still not exactly a fan of the longer fade-ins on the Candlemass and Revocation tracks, perhaps you are relying too heavily on the crossfade option (although I can't be certain exactly what you did, and I could be completely wrong). Typically what I will do when fading songs is use the specific fade-in and fade-out functions and select the exact portion of the song I want faded in/out, then move the tracks about in relation to each other to get the desired effect. And the Warfect song needed a bit of a volume boost, which you can do in Audacity with the Amplify option under "Effect". Just for future reference. The rest of it was edited together pretty well. Like Jingle's EP I also took some time to do a re-edit/remix in Audacity, just as an example of how I might have edited it. Having said that, I could see what you were going for and the vision you had for the EP.
Flow Score - 8/10
Overall Score - 25.75/30

You mention the 28 minutes...I guess I target my EPs at 5 songs/30 minutes. If they fall a tad short or longer than it is what it is. I'm generally hesitant to take 5 good songs and adding two mediocre songs just to lengthen it for sake.
I just listened to your edit between Candlemass and Revocation. Your fade out to Candlemass went on just as long as mine, but I see you cut out the beginning of the Revocation. Honestlly, I wouldn't have thought to do that. Your version of the soft Revocation opening and then right into the harsh vocals is quite jarring IMO.
I did edit out a long outro on my personal EP, so I'm not against doing that kind of thing, but I wouldn't have thought to cut out the Revocation as you did. I like my version better. ;D
Between tracks, I fade out the first and fade in the second. Then I try and crossfade at the same volume. Seems you don't like the wind down between tracks, but personally, I'd rather that than a blunt lead in to the next song.
I mentioned in my personal EP where I just couldn't get the songs to connect, and I opted for trying to bring it on the beat. I wasn't happy with it, but you'll probably like it. ;D
Anyway, let me look at my Fantasy one one more time. I'm not home until Wednesday, so don't lock me in just yet.
I guess I would've rather had a "What Puppies Would've Done" version of my first EP in the that writeup, since that Flow score tanked so badly.

In the end, I think it all comes down to tastes. It's the same with song scores, some songs I like and some I don't. Doesn't mean those songs are bad. Same with the way an album or EP flows. Some may like the longer crossfades, where I may like to do things differently. Doesn't mean one is inherently wrong. But in the end I have to score it according to my tastes.
I'll take a look at your first EP and work up my own re-edit at some point.

Oh and don't worry about being locked in for the next round. I plan on giving everyone until Saturday to have their submissions in, like last round. That seems like a good pace to allow for people to have time to put something together, plus with only 5 rounds (for now) the roulette won't last an eternity... If I get everything in before Saturday we just start the next round sooner.

Sort of, I'm still trying to work out if I want to do it though.
I'm a bit surprised Chad hasn't chimed in about his results yet. :corn
Anyway, I should get 2 or 3 more posted tonight. Then the rest tomorrow.
-
I was about to chime in, but I didn't think it was appropriate. I mean, I suppose I could've taken an 8 part song, kept 6 of them and substituted a couple of other tracks and called it a day, but I figured I'd start from scratch, come up with my own story, and take a bunch of random tracks and tie them together, which I guess paid off for the extra .25 points. :lol
-
I’ll takes it! I didn’t know you rated A Gentleman’s Hurricane so poorly. Oh well, good thing I didn’t use any more of that one.
I’m not a huge fan of Mob Rules, tbh. I only have a few albums of theirs, and a few more saved to Spotify. The run of Radical Peace, cannibal Nation, and Tales From Beyond would be my suggestion. I don’t know much of their earlier stuff. Kade might.

Kingshmegland - The Hurt Was There Before
6.5 The Verve Pipe – The Freshmen
2 Ani DiFranco – Hello Birmingham
5 Aniki Moa – In the Morning
9 Fleetwood Mac – Sara
5 Susan Werner – Manhattan Kansas
6 Ben Folds Five – Brick
7.5 Jeffrey Gaines – Headmaster of Mine
First Impression - Having a hard time connecting to most of these songs
Oh boy. Let's get one thing out of the way. When it comes to hot button political topics (or just politics in general), I stay out of it. Politics only do 2 things in my opinion, stir up hatred and/or cause people to be unreasonable when they hear a differing viewpoint. Having said that, I would never tell a person what they can or cannot do. I believe people have the right to make whatever choice they want in life, doesn't mean I agree with that choice, but people have that right. And, no, I will not be drawn into a political discussion, nor do I want to have one. OK, phew....moving on.
So this EP starts with a familiar song that brings me back to my youth, The Freshmen. I haven't heard this song in quite a few years and kind of forgot about it. It's not a bad song, but is definitely a song of it's time. The sound is very similar to bands like Our Lady Peace, Dishwalla, and Vertical Horizon whom all do this sound much better, in my opinion. Like I said, it's not a bad song. It has some pretty good melodies and is somewhat catchy/memorable. I don't particularly like this guys vocals and the instrumentation isn't very interesting. Next is Hello Birmingham, and oh boy. So when I was in my early 20s I was dating a girl whose sister was in absolutely in love with Ani DiFranco and would play her for us any chance she got and oh man did I grow to hate Ani Difranco. This song is really no different. I can't stand her voice nor can I get into the music. Also why does it sound like she recorded the vocals for this song from a bathroom....Ugh, well now you know....don't send me Ani DiFranco... In the Morning is a much more pleasant song and least vocally and instrumentally. The lyrics are.....not good. Not much else to say about it. Sara is a much much better song than everything else up to this point. I will say that I absolutely adore Stevie Nicks voice. She is one of those vocalists that I could listen to sing the phone book or dictionary. She has one of those very smooth, yet raspy, sensual, yet angelic voices. The one problem I have with this song, which is a great song by the way, is the production on the drums. It's very weird.....they seem to change volume and tone randomly and not in an interesting way. It sounds like the recording engineer was messing with volume levels while recording the drum parts. Anyway, other than that I really like this song. Fleetwood Mac really knew how to write a good song. Manhattan Kansas sounds like something that my grandma would listen to. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it just isn't my kind of song. Brick is next and has some nice melodies, but some not so great singing. He sounds flat and uninterested throughout almost the entire song. The music has some nice builds of tension and release. Headmaster of Mine might be the most interesting song here musically. I kept thinking I knew this song from years ago, but I couldn't place where I had heard it before or if I had heard it before. It sounds so familiar and yet not.....Anyway, this song just sounds heartfelt and emotional. This guys voice also grew on me quite a bit through repeated listens. Overall a very mixed bag of music...
Song Score - 5.9/10
So as I said at the outset, I don't really get involved in political causes, etc etc, so this doesn't really connect with me much. And so as not to turn this into a discussion more suited to the Political/Religious forum, I won't say much more on the subject. I also wouldn't really call this a conceptual story so much as a thematic EP. I also wouldn't exactly call it history. However, I think I can meet you halfway and give you half a point for the bonus theme. We'll call it close enough.
Story Score - 5/10 +half a point for bonus theme
Flow-wise these songs all kind of stand by themselves and nothing really stands out as being jarring. Musically almost everything fits together fairly well. The Verve Pipe and Ani DiFranco notwithstanding. Then again some editing could have been done to make this feel like more of a cohesive piece. Just my 2 cents.
Flow Score - 5.5/10
I just need to say, sorry King. I know you were taking a bit of a risk here and this was a subject close to your heart, but it just didn't pan out for you. I know you have stuff that appeals to me more judging by your first EP, so I'm looking forward to your round 3 submission.
Overall Score - 16.9/30

Chris... Just to clarify my comment here (as I re-read it this morning). I am a fan, just not a *huge* fan. I'm not sure I gave their earlier stuff a proper listen when I discovered them, so maybe I need to rectify that. Their last album (in '18) fell a little flat to me - it wasn't bad, but I wasn't wow'd.

Interesting, the song scores suggest that your overall score for song quality is a simple average? Never been a fan of that myself as it doesn't account for song length, but each to their own.
With that in mind though, do you want us to specify any short tracks that are essentially intros/interludes, or are you happy to make that judgement call yourself?
(EDIT: from my perspective, the two 2.5 min tracks in the current round are pretty much an intro and interlude - part of the story and flow but not intended to be included as strong songs in themselves)
-
Oh dear :lol I have a sixth of a song on my EP! On its own that doesn't make sense, I hope it does in the full thing.
Hangmanen is a bit slow for some reason? I'm considering revealing the thing and posting the link for you guys to listen to it (if you want) before I leave the house again. Came back late last night, and I'll be away again next week starting tomorrow morning.
-
Since we are getting results, don't think it's a big deal if you reveal your own songs, but idk how Puppies feel about it. There are still 2 songs left unsolved from my EP (besides Indians, which you already guessed).

To your point about song length. All the songs on King's EP happened to be all around the same length between 4-6 minutes. So a simple average (almost) worked out. However that was not the case with Jingle's EP, since I took The Oswald File song as a whole, it had a much larger impact on the score. Same with TAC's EP, the last track was much shorter and therefor had a much lower impact on score.
As far as Intro/segues/interludes/etc. I can make that judgement call. It's usually pretty obvious which songs are interludes, and I score (or don't score) them appropriately.

Deadeye - Rewound.Recast
Ozzy Osbourne – For What It's Worth
Foo Fighters – Waiting on a War
Megadeth – Foreclosure of a Dream
Green Day – Governator
Pink Floyd – Two Suns in the Sunset
Alter Bridge – Waters Rising
Muse – Aftermath
David Bowie – When the WInd Blows
Volatus – A Pictures Worth
First Impression - Some less than stellar singing throughout a lot of this.
So this starts off with an Ozzy cover of For What It's Worth......and man do I not like his vocals on this song. I do like the guitar work here and if I'm not mistaken I believe this was Jerry Cantrell on this album. I've always liked his guitar playing. This is followed by Waiting on a War from the Foo Fighters newest album, which I've only given 1 listen to at this point. I actually really like this song. It sounds better than anything on their last 2 albums. Dave Grohl even sounds decent here, even though his voice has been getting progressively worse as time goes on. I like how the song builds to a grand climax. Good stuff! Next is Foreclosure of a Dream. This is from the album that got me into Megadeth many years ago, but I haven't really listened to it in quite some time. Now Dave Mustaine is not a good vocalist by any means, but I don't remember him sounding this bad on this song. I often wonder how much better Megadeth could have been had Mustaine hired an actual vocalist instead of appealing to his own sense of pride. Other than the vocals this is a decent song, with a great solo by Mustaine. Governator is next and let's just say this isn't my kind of song. I like some punk rock, but this just doesn't resonate with me. I remember listening to this album when it first came out and hated it. Hearing this song again isn't making me want to give the album another listen. More not great vocals here too. Pretty bold of you to send me a Pink Floyd song from the album of theirs that I dislike the most :D The Final Cut is a 3/10 album for me. This song might be the least offensive on the album and is actually a decent, but not great, song. Waters Rising is a great Alter Bridge song. I'm a big fan of this band and this is a big departure from all the vocals that came before because Myles Kennedy is a great singer! This also happens to be from my favorite Alter Bridge album and you gotta hand it to Mark Tremonti when given lead to write the music he wants he can come up with some great riffs and melodies. Helps when you are surrounded by other great songwriters too....and a competent vocalist. So I remember really disliking the album Aftermath is from (Drones) when it came out and I basically shelved the album and haven't listened to it since. Perhaps it's because of the context here, but I don't remember this song being this good. This is just a really good classic Muse track with interesting vocals and good song writing. Maybe I should revisit this album, but I have the sneaking suspicion I'm going to hate it still :lol Anyway, congratulations on sending me a David Bowie song I've never heard before. I never even knew this song existed....Unfortunately I don't like this song very much, so....there's that. It sounds super '80s and not in a good way and I don't like Bowie's vocals here either. They aren't bad, they just sounds awkward with weird vocal melodies and harmonies. Lastly, we come to an original song by you (your band?). I don't want to sound too harsh here, because I'd rather nurture people trying to make their own music, so all I can offer is some constructive criticism and hope you don't take offense. So my biggest hurdle here is the production; everything sounds way too loud in the mix and it has a bit of a brickwalled sound. The guitars sound a bit like the amps were covered with a wet blanket, although there are some really cool riffs throughout the song. As a matter of fact, there's a lot of cool instrumentation here, but like I said, the production is holding it back. I actually don't have much to criticize regarding the vocals, like you feared. Overall the EP has some good, some bad, and some ugly singing ;)
Song Score - 7.1/10
So the story is an interesting alternate take on the Cold War. What could have happened if everyone decided to start dropping nuclear bombs. It's a scary thought and one that is still a very real threat. I think all the songs here work better for the story than even you thought. And I think Aftermath actually fits really well in this story. I also like the way you ended with A Pictures Worth, as somebody looking back, kind of like we do today, and wonder what could have happened....or what could still happen.
Story Score - 8/10 +1 for bonus theme +1 for favorite EP title
The flow here, being a Spotify playlist, needs some work, but overall it isn't too bad. While I do prefer EP's to be edited to make them work as a cohesive whole, I do understand people's hesitancy to try that. Having said that there were quite a few things that could have been done here to make it more interesting. Plus there were a few changes in production/volume that were a little jarring. Overall it worked much better than your round 1 EP, though. Seems like you took the time to try to pick songs that could naturally flow well.
Flow Score - 6/10
Overall Score - 23.1/30

Man, this EP.... I gotta say, you don't always knock it out of the park with your song choices, but you have a gift for taking wildly different genres and mashing them up into a cohesive whole (most of the time).
So this starts off with the Jazz Standard, You and the Night and the Music, by none other than Julie London. I've heard quite a bit of her stuff before, my parents are fans, so I knew what to expect going in. I don't listen to this kind of music often, but when I do, I enjoy it. And this is just a great way to start the whole EP. Then following the Jazz Standard number we have 2 Black Metal songs.....I don't think I would have ever thought to do that, but apparently I'm going to have to up my genre mashup game for whoever runs an EP roulette next ;) I'm kind of taking Corps d'Autos-Canon-Mitrailleuses and Passchenhell as one song and the way you made them flow together they kind of feel like 2 halves of a whole here. First things first, I've never heard of this band, 1914, before. And judging by their name I'm guessing they write music mostly about WWI. Fitting for your EP. These songs work really well and are quite enjoyable, musically. It delves mostly into the doomy side of black metal, with occasional bursts of faster tempo black metal. They also use field recordings/etc quite well too. Although if I'm being honest I think I like the first 1914 song better than the 2nd. Just slightly. Maybe....Eh, they are both good, plus Passchenhell has that cool violin solo....Lily of the Valley is next and a nice little break from the metal of 1914, followed by a small portion of Julia by the Beatles. This is an interesting use of using excerpts. I like that. Then using an excerpt of Passchenhell. Next up is Victims of a Clown. This is the song I struggled with the most. I've never been a Ministry fan. I just can't get into their music, for whatever reason. I can't even really explain why. There's some interesting spoken word parts in this song and it almost has a twisted haunted house feel to it. I don't know, the fact that it goes on for over 8 minutes without much change up, it just feels like it overstays its welcome. This was a similar problem in your last EP with the Meshuggah track. Anyway, Sonne is an improvement. I love me some Rammstein. And Sonne is kind of the definitive song from the definitive Rammstein album. Not much else to say about this song. Then we get another Julie London song. I don't think this one is as compelling as the first one, but still not a bad song. Then to close out the EP we have True Sorry and at first I was confused because it starts out sounding almost exactly like a Dire Straits song....for like the first 5 seconds. Anyway, this is some interesting Jazz/Fusion type stuff. I really like that recurring melody throughout the song on the horns. Overall mostly strong songs with a couple less than stellar ones thrown in. Unfortunately one of the less than stellar songs was 8 minutes of the run time.
Song Score - 8/10
The story for this felt quite cinematic. The way you weaved these songs together felt almost like a soundtrack to a movie. There were a few things that really stood out to me. The use of Black Metal to depict the horrors of war, especially WWI. The usage of the shorter songs and excerpts in the middle of the EP worked well as kind of a transition between acts of the story. I liked the use of Victims of a Clown and Sonne to depict the weird nature of the aftermath of the war. And this being an alternate history version of WWI and the aftermath, it works well. Then closing it out with another Julie London song shows what became of the protagonist of the story and finally the closing track working as almost an epilogue/closing credits song. I like that!
Story Score - 9/10 +1 for bonus theme
This mostly flows quite well and the way you rearranged some of the tracks and cut and moved things about to make it work was great too. Just the way you transitioned from Julie London to black metal was great. This is only inspiring me to go more crazy with genre choices in future roulettes ;) Anyways, then going from Black metal to Queen was handled really well. The only real issue I had was the transition from the Passchenhell excerpt to Victims of a Clown, there's kind of a hard cut there that I don't like and probably could have been handled a bit differently. Other than that, great job intermixing so many different genres and making it work! Not only making it work, but making it cinematic!

Lastly, we come to an original song by you (your band?). I don't want to sound too harsh here, because I'd rather nurture people trying to make their own music, so all I can offer is some constructive criticism and hope you don't take offense. So my biggest hurdle here is the production; everything sounds way too loud in the mix and it has a bit of a brickwalled sound. The guitars sound a bit like the amps were covered with a wet blanket, although there are some really cool riffs throughout the song. As a matter of fact, there's a lot of cool instrumentation here, but like I said, the production is holding it back. I actually don't have much to criticize regarding the vocals, like you feared. Overall the EP has some good, some bad, and some ugly singing ;)
No no, this is pretty much exactly what we’ve been saying since the EP came out. It got rushed in the last stages with mastering and the last vocals literally being done the week it came out. In the producer’s own words “I absolutely cooked this mix and it ended up wetter than a fish”. We pretty much learned a lot of how not to do my next EP by doing this one, so “production bad” is pretty much the least original constructive criticism of this one. This coming out the way it did is kinda why we’re trying to relight the old fires and do an album even though this band broke up in 2020.

Thanks for your review! I must say, the thing I enjoy most about this whole roulette is using different styles and putting everything together. I think jazz and metal go well together, if you pick the right stuff and I always try to make original combinations. This came together organically, and was fueled by recent concert experiences (Rammstein live, Ibrahim Maalouf who uses the same Chaplin speech as in the Ministry song, learning You and the Night and the Music myself). I’n glad you liked it and I’m happy I made this bunch of songs work together. I knew the Ministry song might not be your cup of tea, it might just be better in context of the album it comes from. Anyway, I’m happy with my score :biggrin:

I'm going to listen to first Rich and Cyril's EPs in the car tomorrow :)
ariich’s EP was beautiful, wow!
Cyril’s was.. intense. The two Brother songs were the best thing to me, great songs! Of the black metal stuff I thought the first track was the most enjoyable. I really disliked FM Scar 16. That’s everything I don’t like about black metal, but I guess it fits with the story. As far as flow goes, I think most of the changes were a bit abrupt. Anyway, was nice listening. Thanks for sharing! :)
-
Thanks Rich, really glad you liked it. Once it came together I was so pleased with it, I've found myself listening to it quite a lot myself which I don't normally do. Also it's a rare one of my EPs with a more upbeat ending - they're usually pretty bleak! :lol
I'm intrigued by yours - at first glance it doesn't seem like it'd be very coherent in style but Pup obviously thought it worked great. I'll give it a listen this evening!

that wiegedood album is the harshest sides of black metal done right imo but i get it, it's a lot :lol
i still think i nailed the transitions on this one but puppies disliked one of my favorite transitions on the last EP so who knows

Angel Dust – Cross of Hatred (18:51)
Accept – Stalingrad (23:48)
Black Majesty – Fall of the Reich (29:49)
Nightingale – Stalingrad (34:59)
First Impression - There were some moments where I was just like :metal and then there were some moments where I was like :|
So, some pretty bold picks for this EP. Starting it off with Sabaton, the world's most boring metal band :neverusethis: I jest....sort of....This song actually works fairly well as an intro song. I still don't want to listen to an entire Sabaton album, but one is fine enough. I'm just not the target audience for Sabaton, which is fine. The chorus actually had a way of worming its way into my brain, so there's that. Next is the world's most overrated Thrash Metal band, Slayeeeeeerrrrrr!!!!!!! And really Slayer is just a poor man's Vektor, in my opinion. And it's a good thing Dave Lombardo had Gene Hoglan around to teach him how to play drums :neverusethis: Granted Slayer was doing this 30 years before Vektor, but Vektor basically took that intensity and made it better and more progressive and more technical. Again, this works in context, and again, I wouldn't want to listen to a whole album of Slayer.....Let's move on to some of the more awesome songs here. The three Angel Dust songs are all quite enjoyable. I've never heard this band before and am now looking forward to diving into them more. Come Into Resistance has some nice riffs and melodies. The only not so great part of this song might be the keyboards. They are teetering on the edge of being just a bit too cheesy for me. First In Line works as a nice segue and then we blast into Cross of Hatred for some headbanging :2metal: I feel like Angel Dust is a much more interesting version of Sabaton :neverusethis: At any rate, there are some tasty guitar solos in both of these Angel Dust songs :metal Next we come to the first of two Stalingrad tracks, this one by Accept.....or as I like to call them, slightly heavier AC/DC (aka rocks most boring band :neverusethis: (I need to stop using this emoji :neverusethis: (nevermind.....))) Actually this song isn't all that bad (chugga-da-chugga-da-chugga-chugga-chugga-da-chugga-chugga.....Brian Johnson sound-a-like yelling....rinse...repeat :D ) There are actually some cool melodic solos here and the chugging doesn't really bother me, I'm just being an ass. Now, Fall of the Reich is a cool song, from another band I haven't listened to before, although it took me a few listens to really get into this song. Cool riffing, decent singing (actually the singer looks like the lovechild of Kiko Loureiro and Dallas Toler-Wade). Then we end with the 2nd Stalingrad song. I like the little change in style here with Nightingale to end the EP. Makes it feel more cinematic/story-like. I like pretty much anything Dan Swano, so this was a pretty safe pick. Overall, fairly consistent song quality with only a couple dips, but not quite as strong as your last EP.
Song Score - 7.8/10
I like the story of a German man falling in with Hitler during his rise to power, but then realizing the atrocities that were being committed he joins a rebellion to bring down Hitler's regime. I like the way you used the songs you chose. They all work really well lyrically and musically. I especially like the way you used Angel of Death to tell of the atrocities being done under Hitler's power. However you probably could have subbed in KYPCK's Stalingrad, Sabaton's Stalingrad, and Caducity's Destination: Stalingrad and just made the EP about Stalingrad.... ;) Overall I think this was an improvement in storytelling from your last EP.
Story Score - 8/10 +1 for bonus theme
As far as flow goes, I think the one thing that is bothering me most, and I know this is going to sound slightly hypocritical, is I think Rise of Evil should have faded all the way out before starting in on Angel of Death. Rise of Evil feels more like an introduction to the story and Angel of Death feels like the beginning of Act 1. Just a small thing, but eh. Then Stalingrad to Fall of the Reich might be a little too abrupt, but that almost sounds nitpicky at this point. Mostly good flow overall.
Flow Score - 8/10
Overall Score - 24.8/30

Ariich - Void II: Call of the Infinite Cosmos
Public Service Broadcasting – The Race for Space
This Day and Age – Second Star to the Right
Sleeping at Last – Jupiter
Sleeping at Last – Saturn
The Dear Hunter – What Time Taught Us
65daysofstatic – Escape Velocity
The Dear Hunter – Mandala
Sleeping at Last – Hearing
Dream the Electric Sleep – Flight
First Impression - With the exception of one transition this was super smooth and relaxing
Not quite as exciting as Void 1, but somehow just as good. Moving on....gold star.......
OK, I guess I'll actually write a review here. So The Race for Space works as a moodsetter and a great intro to the story at hand, not much else to say about this track. Second Star to the Right is next and I have the album this is from for some reason, but I've never listened to it....again, for reasons....I actually really like this kind of Indie styled rock, it has a bit of a progressive flair, but not like full on technical wankery. It's just a good solid rock song, but with beautiful melodies. I really enjoy the passion in the vocals too. This is followed by a pair of Sleeping at Last songs, Jupiter and Saturn, which kind of sets the stage for the mood of this whole EP. You went with the peaceful serenity of space for the mood, rather than the crushing, cold, and unforgiving nature of space. These two songs encapsulate that mood perfectly. Moody, ethereal, atmospheric, beautiful and slightly melancholic. I especially like the way Saturn starts with the strings before giving way to more of an atmospheric buildup. Sleeping At Last is a band that I've been meaning to get into more. I have a bunch of their stuff, but I just need to dedicate more time to listening to them. Next we have What Time Taught Us, in a brilliant move to placate me with songs from my favorite Dear Hunter album :neverusethis: And to think I almost banned this album for the roulette. This is just one of those songs that proves Casey Crescenzo can write music in just about any genre/style. I think he should do a black metal album next.... :D Next we have a segue track with Escape Velocity. I gotta say you are really appealing to my tastes on this EP, I love me some 65dos. They make some of the best music that could be set to an outer space setting. Next we have Mandala....see part I wrote about What Time Taught Us :neverusethis: OK, not really. This is such a nice spacey track with the distant vocals to start accompanied by piano before it breaks into the song proper. Then we get another Sleeping at Last track with Hearing, which is very reminiscent of the other tracks by them on here, and yet is unique in its own way. More great strings with a nice build up. This feels like more of a segue to the end, even though it's 4 minutes long. Not that I'm complaining. This is one of those songs that I almost wish would last forever... The last track is Flight. I believe I have this bands Heretic album, but I don't remember it at all. This song is pretty great, very uplifting, bright, hopeful. Not a typical way for you to end your EPs ;)
Song Score - 8.6/10
This story is a strange one. On the one hand, I love stories set in space and I love astronomy. I like stories about AI and the idea of AI. On the other hand, there's something about this that falls just a little flat, not in the storytelling aspect or the songs used (as I think that was all done superbly), but in the general premise. I'm not sure I can really put my finger on what is bothering me about this. It could be the open ended, almost cliffhanger, ending to the story.....I think you just Stargate: Universed me. Just when the story started getting really good all of a sudden it was over. I want to know what happens next dammit! :lol Meh, perhaps Void III will be the answer :D
Story Score - 8/10 +1 for bonus theme
The flow here is fantastic. If you get any better at this I'm going to start getting jealous ;) I especially thought it was intriguing how you had the audacity to think it was necessary to put a track between the 2 Dear Hunter tracks that flow naturally together on the album they are from. But damned if it didn't work. You also kept the same general tone throughout even though you subtly shifted styles from one track to the next. :slowclap:

Fair. As I said, the story and the connection with the songs is what I'm focussing on, not so much the music. I'll need to listen to Ariich's I guess, he's nailing this.

Ah, okay, that one did go over my head lol. yeah, I'm enjoying this roulette more than I thought I would. Happy with the round 3 one but I doubt after this round you'll really dig some of the tunes but no regrets, it fits the mould of the story.
Not sure what tactic I take for round 4 just yet. Not sure what I'm thinking I'd be able to find stuff that would do it justice.

Vmadera - Native Manifest
Testament – Trail of Tears
Testament – Native Blood
Anthrax – Indians
Testament – Allegiance
Iron Mask – When All Braves Fall
In Vain – Wayakin (The Guardian Spirit of Nez Perce)
First Impression - The songs are good, the story is good, the way this flows needs a lot of help....
OK, starting off with Trail of Tears, we have a pretty mellow song from heavy thrashers Testament. I actually really like Testament, but this is from an album I haven't listened to yet. So this is a pretty interesting intro to the album in question. This isn't the Testament I'm used to. I do think Testament was just one of many metal bands that lost their way in the '90s. They all seemed to sell out in one way or another. Granted there are some really cool guitar solos here and it gets a little heavier towards the end. Overall it's actually a pretty decent song. Native Blood on the other hand IS the Testament I'm used to. This is a good thrashy song with none other than Gene Hoglan showing why he is the definitive drummer in the Thrash scene. There are some cool riffs and guitar harmonies throughout the song also. Next is another Thrash metal titan, Anthrax, with their song Indians. This starts out with some nice fast riffage. I've never really gotten into Anthrax and a lot of it has to do with Joe Belladonnas vocals, never was a fan. On the other hand I've always appreciated Scott Ian's rhythm guitar work. But of the "big 4" I've always thought Anthrax was the least worthy of that moniker. Next we get another Testament song, this time Allegiance and this one with Gene Hoglan beneficiary Dave Lombardo :neverusethis: This is probably the least interesting Testament song here. It isn't bad, but this is possibly my least favorite album I have of Testament. Next we get When All Braves Fall, by a band I've never listened to before, Iron Mask. This is big departure from all the previous tracks, getting some Power Metal instead of Thrash. It's a fairly decent Power metal song, but I kind of wish the band would let loose a little more. It almost feels like they are holding back more than they could and should. The last song here is easily the best on the EP, Wayakin. It's basically its own mini story within the greater story of the EP. Starting off with some spoken word and native sounding instruments which explodes into some great Proggy Death Metal. I do like how they got an actual Native American to do the spoken word at the beginning and the Native chants throughout the song. The songs whole second half is quite powerful. I know I said in my first impression that the songs were all good, well it kind of ended up being a mixed bag, sort of...Fortunately for you Wayakin took up a good chunk of the running time.
Song Score - 7.9/10
I know you said this wasn't really a specific story, but to me it sort of read that way with the songs and the lyrics, mostly. Especially ending it with Wayakin was pretty special. I definitely see what you were going for and I think it worked out for the most part. Perhaps it could have been fleshed out a bit more, but again as I've said in the past, an EP length doesn't give you a ton of room to tell a fleshed out story.
Story Score - 7/10 +1 for bonus theme
Here is where the EP falls apart. I know you said you edited the ends of some of the songs and I kind of wish you hadn't. The first 4 songs do not flow well at all, and where you cut them off is....well...let's just say very odd. I think if you had done some sort of meshing or overlap of the songs it could have worked better, but not the way they were left. The last two songs work fine, because they were left to play out, but man, I wish I could give you a better score here, but I just can't... :(
Flow Score - 4/10
Overall Score - 19.9/30

Just when the story started getting really good all of a sudden it was over. I want to know what happens next dammit! :lol
I dunno, I think the ending works great for several reasons (and the story score is still good of course so I'm definitely not complaining, just explaining). This was the historical round - I played with history by imaginining Pioneer as a sentient AI, but I still wanted the whole thing tied into the real events otherwise it would have been more of a sci-fi story than a historical one. Besides which, obviously its a "TASTES" thing, but I love the ending - the events might be open ended, but the emotional journey is complete. Pioneer starts out excited about its mission but blinkered by its own obsession, then it feels hurt when it realises things are not as it thought, but with time to reflect it comes to appreciate that its real mission and experience are still beautiful and exciting.
In terms of what happens next, I think it's something like a few hundred thousand years of drifting until it reaches the next star cluster. :lol
Anyway, that's enough explaining, really happy that you liked the EP and especially delighted with your comments (and the score) on flow which were exactly what I was going for. And yeah I thought that about breaking up the TDH songs too. :lol But it worked better for both narrative and flow that way, so I just went for it.

Cyril - The Southern Rebellion and Massacre of 1832-1835
SikTh – Tupelo
Primeval Well – Tales Carved in Stone on a Forbidden Road
Trophy Scars – Brother
Wiegedood – FN Scar 16
Kevin Devine – Brother's Blood
Izthmi – The Arrows of Our Ways
First Impression - This hits hard in a lot of ways!
So starting off with Tupelo is kind of an insane way to start an EP......and I love it! I just love this Sikth album. It's so unique and this song showcases how imaginative this band was back in the early/mid 2000s. It really sets the tone of this whole EP, almost like a preview of every other style that was coming later. Sikth really was ahead of their time...Anyway I can talk about how awesome Sikth is at great length. Let's move on. Next is Tales Carved in Stone on a Forbidden Road, which is by a band I haven't listened to before. I know, a Black Metal band I don't know, surprising! Anyway, this has a cool almost old school Black Metal feel to it with some great atmosphere and some....Gothic Country Stylings??....thrown in for good measure. And when this song goes, it GOES! I mean there's some Bluegrass style drumming in parts of this that wouldn't be out of place in a typical Bluegrass song, there's just tremolo picked guitars over the top and the tempo is faster. Not to mention the prominent banjo throughout. I guess this proves that Black Metal is just sped up Bluegrass with harsh vocals :neverusethis: I guess I'm gonna have to check out this band. Add it to the never ending, ever growing list. After this is Brother by Trophy Scars, another band I know quite well, although not this album so much. For a band that is known for mostly mixing Post-Hardcore and Blues, this seems like a bit of a departure. This has more of that Gothic Country style mixed in with more of an Indie Rock/Blues Rock vibe. While not as interesting as the previous two songs, this still feels essential and I like it more than not. I'm kind of mixed on the vocals here too, I both like them and dislike them :neverusethis: We have FN Scar 16 next. Wiegedood (or as I like to call them, The Band With the Same Album Cover On All Their Albums....) is another band I'm familiar. This is another song that just goes! I actually prefer Wiegedood's first 3 albums to the one this song is taken from, but eh, this album still :metal I definitely like the way they do this style of ferocity. Next is the song that I basically did a double take on several times, Brother by Kevin Devine. Certain parts of the song I kept swearing I had heard this song before. I even played it for my wife and she said the same thing, but had never heard of Kevin Devine and neither had I. So what gives? I thought, OK, maybe this guy is in a band I know....Nope....Anyways, this song is amazing....that is all....take your gold star....Oh, you want me to say more? Dude, the way this song builds and climaxes is just, I don't know, otherworldly? Cosmic? There's a certain sense of grandeur and divinity here. I mean, that guitar solo, the way it builds almost sounds like something Rush would have done in the early days. Maybe that's why I connected to this song so much. There was a certain sense of familiarity to it. Plus the vocals have just the right amount of loss of control mixed with passion and grit to be completely compelling. What a song (sorry TAC, but you will probably hate this :D ). OK, finishing this off we have The Arrows of Our Ways. I don't know how you could possibly top that last song. Oh, more AtmoBlack, how original :neverusethis: OK, but seriously, I like this song a lot. It has a lot of the intensity of a band like DWeF, but builds the atmosphere a bit more and not relying as heavily on speed and aggression. Plus this delves into some Death/Doomy parts, not unlike a band like Swallow the Sun. Plus there's this cool little guitar melody that repeats a few times that I find really intriguing. Also that little changeup of pace at about the midpoint is fantastic. I do kind of wish there were a few more peaks and valleys here, but I feel like that is nitpicking. (TAC you might like this one) Overall a great mix of songs, this was even better than the great songs you had on the first EP.
Song Score - 9.1/10 +1 for Favorite song of the round, Brother's Blood
Now, the story....is great! I love it. Tupelo works exactly how it should, a scene setter, a way to set the stage for what's coming later. Musically and lyrically this is exactly what the song does. Then we jump forward in time a bit to tell the story of our protagonist and antagonist over the next 4 songs, ending in complete tragedy with no resolution.....yet. The the final song works as an epilogue, while also setting up the potential for a continued story. This is just a great way to tell a long-ish story with a limited amount of time. Exactly what I was looking for story-wise here. Great setup, the meat of the story is told well, but simply, then a potential for sequels.
Story Score - 10/10 +1 for bonus theme
This EP flows quite well too. The transitions between all songs were actually all really good. The first two seemingly flowed together perfectly. Then Primeval Well to Trophy scars seemed like a natural progression between two songs. Then the next few all flowed well by stopping/starting the songs on the beat, felt very natural. I'm actually quite impressed how you managed to make the disparate genres flow into each other so well. Nothing stood out as awkward in this EP, unlike the last one. At the same time I don't think I can quite award a perfect score for flow, but it's really close.
Flow Score - 9.7/10

let's GOOOOOOO :2metal:
yeah brother's blood is def my favorite here too, jesus christ what a song. i know absolutely nothing else from the dude but he has The One Song and that's all he needed
also i felt very smart for having both a nick cave cover (tupelo) and a band very obviously inspired by nick cave (trophy scars) on the same EP, despite that i barely know/listen to nick cave :lol
anyways time to figure out what to do for my next EP :corn i know what general sound it's gonna have but i have picked out all of one (1) song for it so far so who knows

Had a listen to Cyril's EP. Not bad. A lot on here not my kind of thing but can see how it appealed to Puppies. That last song however kicked fucking ass!

I've already got some cool (well at least I think it's cool) album art worked up for round 3 EPs for TAC and Wolfking. I'm actually working on one for Ariich right now. I'm looking forward to sharing these once the round gets started. :metal

My Fantasy EP artwork is my favorite so far, but not sure if it has the emotional impact of my Round 4 EP cover.

Goddammit... since I didn't need to edit anything to get an acceptable (by my standards) flow, I was just gonna build a playlist on Spotify - but one of my songs isn't on Spotify. So now I gotta drag the files to a G-drive folder. PITA... but I should be able to get to that this afternoon.

i think i can throw something together tonight
i'm not quite sure if the story you have in mind is gonna fit your criteria of fantasy (i don't have much reference point for any of that, and also, not enough folk metal for it :P ) but it is a kind of fantasy story. if i lose the one point making this one work well w/e

If Cyril hasn't even started after we've all sent and pulls out another 29.8 I'm ragequitting! :lol

thus far all three of my EPs have been thrown together in like an hour or two when i had nothing better to do :lol
like round 1 in particular i literally made the entire EP while my internet was down for a bit bcuz i was bored

You just copy the image and past into a new open file, resize and copy the others and line them up. You then save a a new single image.

So here is what I've been working on (instead of actually listening to your EPs ;) )
I've made digital album booklets. I was originally going to put lyrics for all the songs in these, but some of the songs I could not find lyrics for, so oh well. And before that I was planning on getting really ambitious and actually making these CD booklets and burning the CDs and sending them to y'all (thought it could be a cool memento), but I figured you would rather I get this round finished in a timely manner instead. So, you guys get my half-assed work instead :biggrin:
Again, all the artwork is made by me using a combination of AI generation and my own art.
I hope you like these. (Make sure you click the image to get full size)

Ok let's try some matching based purely on EP titles. Probably completely wrong. :lol

Nice!
I made a CD booklet for my last concept album in your roulette a few years ago, but I was looking for a template last night to do one for this one, but I was having trouble finding one.
-
And ariich, before you say anything, I tried to come up with some artwork for The Butterfly Man, but wasn't happy with any of it. I eventually just scrapped that idea. :-\
-
Probably easier than Paint which I use. :lol
I don't know. Everything requires my email to sign up so I can download it, and even the Fotor's is only a trial.

Yeah you do have to sign up for Fotor, but I've never had to pay for anything for making collages. There are some templates and layouts that require a "Pro" membership, but I've never used those.

OK. I did sign up, so I'll check it further.

Loving the artwork Pup. I especially like how you gave my two protagonists their own picture. I don't think the Butterfly Man needed his own - the front cover is a good representation of what he's been doing.
Here's my EP for anyone who wants to check it out! More audio editing than I've ever done before for a roulette EP.

Yeah, that's kind of what I figured. Although I'm not 100% happy with how the Azara art turned out either, but I just went with it.
-
I can’t wait to see my artwork. What you did with the front image reminds me of what I stole off the internet, but done far more epically, so the accompanying images will be insanely cool, I’m sure!

I think it works really well overall. The only minor thing is that he looks a little more... feminine that I'd envisaged. :P
-
Where did you find the art?
It's all my own. Basically I take some basic art that I have done and run it through various AI generation techniques to come up with all of it.
The only thing I don't really like is the way I did the fonts for the Album Covers and backs. I'll try to improve that for next round.

A lot of it is digital art I've made with various programs, mostly a program called Gimp. Some of it is based on photographs I've taken.
Then I have an AI image generator that I use where I can input the art or photo and give it some parameters or keywords and it can spit out basically what you see here. Then I take those and pull them back into Gimp and finish them off.
As far as the AI stuff is concerned, what I use is similar to the Dall-E AI. Here is the web page that explains basically what AI driven Art/image generation can do https://openai.com/dall-e-2/

In my opinion, it fits the story well. In Puppies opinion, it may not be the best choice, but I’m making these for me and this EP barely exists. I have no idea how I’m gonna tell my personal story though.

Puppies, I kinda need to know if everyone is doing the album round? I'm just about done with round 4 but there's a few things I'd like to extend and add in and because its a strong topic, I think I want to extend it into a longer piece. There's emotions I want to cover that 40 minutes won't allow.
If only the top few are doing that round though, I'll go ahead with what I've got incase I miss out.

I'm just going to let everyone participate in the concept album round, since there's only 9 participants. Well 8, if Elite doesn't check back in soon.

Good day everyone! It's fun reading back everything in this thread and seeing Puppies absolutely killing it with his album artwork :)
I was away on a summer music camp this past week and haven't checked DTF since last Monday morning. It was absolutely amazing and I had a great time there, with lots of music making and learning. I came back yesterday and was too tired to really do anything. Obviously I didn't have the time (nor did I really think of it) to complete the EP while I was there, so the rough draft I had in place before going away I just finalised and I sent the thing to Puppies. This is probably the 'worst' EP I have sent so far, but considering I basically thought this whole thing through while away from home over the past 2.5 weeks, I'm quite pleased with it nonetheless.
@Puppies; if you look in the same folder I sent the rest of the EPs in, you'll find it there along with the track-listing. The booklet with lyrics and story will follow soon, I'll need to finish that first, but at least you have something to listen to already :)

- This is quite ambitious, not sure if it all works just yet

elite's EP definitely looks
weird :lol
That's probably what he was going for :lol
Indeed :lol Is it any surprise though? :biggrin:
I did say this was probably the least good EP I made, but I still think it’s fun. Did I send an unexpected song? :neverusethis:
And thanks for the artwork!! Looks awesome :)
-
well it's gotta be either "This starts off way better than it ends" or "I think I'm going to have a hard time getting past one song here"
and i guess uhhh the latter? idk
Indeed it is the latter.
the question is, which one
liturgy, i presume, which is my favorite on the EP, but :lol

Yeah I'm going to assume it's the Liturgy too. That song is... a bit much.
-
it's a bit much in the best way :2metal:
i honestly think the aethereus song is heavier in a "lower tuned chugging blast of aggression" kinda way, so

Yeah I'd agree, with Liturgy I don't think it's a matter of being super-overly-heavy, so much as being quite avant-garde and inaccessible (particularly vocally).
-
I checked out that track (God of Love) to see what the discussion is about. What a sick track, awesome stuff. I never knew I needed avant-garde black metal, but come to think of it based on stuff I like, it does kind of make sense that I would enjoy this :lol
-
i cannot imagine any kind of black metal vocals are a problem for puppies :lol

They don't really sound much like black metal vocals to me, but regardless you may well be right that Pup has no problem with them.

Puppies. You have the best sig thingy eva!!
Channeling my inner King.
It doesn't help. Lol

I think I've proven I suck ass at lining up my submissions and 1st impressions, and any of the remaining 6 could apply to mine, so I'll just

I'm wondering if Time Drops is the unexpected one though - given the singer. Doubt it, but ya never know.

I'm trying to remember if I introduced you to Liturgy back in the day. But either way, I kind of stopped following them after the disappointment that was The Ark Work. I gave H.A.Q.Q. a listen when it came out, but it didn't grab me enough to give it further listens.
Their most notable claim to fame (at least for me), is the fact they made the best and worst song of the year back in 2011. Glass Earth being the worst and Harmonia being the best.
I think I've proven I suck ass

I feel like this should be sig worthy, if not completely taken out of context :lol

My entire EP is crap and I don’t know your tastes too well, so it could start better than it ends. I suppose it could be ambitious. Since (I think it was) Cyril laughed at Sail Away To Avalon, it could be a song that you can’t get past, and I know you weren’t a fan of Journey on the Waves of Time on As The Heavens Split Above. It could also be that using Pawns and Kings so soon after it’s release qualifies as unexpected?

Well uh, I saw it when I posted my initial guess!
I’m also pretty sure I do know what song you’re referring to.

So, I thought I was done with my concept album. I was formatting my PM's and was in the process of transferring some of the lyrics for each song. But on the second half, the more I looked at the lyrics of one song, it was saying the exact opposite that I wanted to say in the story despite the song's title. I decided I couldn't use it.
I found a song to sub it out with, but then I didn't like the order, as the lyrics were misplaced in relation to the following track. So I basically scrapped my whole second half. Deleted two songs, one I wasn't crazy about, and one I didn't think Puppies would like anyway, plus an outro piece, and re-edited my second half.
Ugh.

Ugh.
I feel your frustration. Pretty much every time I make a concept album for a roulette I end up scrapping the whole thing a couple times and restarting. Or scrapping entire sections or changing the order of songs, etc etc. I still have a ton of fun doing it though. I still have several rough drafts of unsent concept albums that I made for Cyril and Ariich and possibly some other roulettes.
-
doing it in 1-2 hours really helps prevent you from overthinking things, evidently :lol
idk this roulette isn't a life or death thing for me and i have a frankly absurd amount of music i could share so i'm just, going with whatever comes to mind and making it work
-
It came together pretty quickly once I had a direction. Like I said, I realized the lyrics of one song wasn't going to fit, so I spent some time tonight fixing the second half.
-
First result finally finished. It's been a crazy day and I didn't get nearly as much done on this as I would have liked, but anyhow....

TAC - Secret of the Butterfly
Bare Infinity - The Butterfly Raiser
Circle Of Silence - The Chosen One
Byzantine - The Cicada Tree
Pythia - Spirits Of The Trees
Behemoth - A Forest
In The Woods - Weeping Willow
First Impressions - There are some cool things going on, but some terrible vocals
Alrighty, starting this EP off with some Folky Power/Prog Symphonic Metal, Bare Infinity's The Butterfly Raiser. Give me a minute and I might be able to add a few more descriptive words in there :neverusethis: This is a nice catchy and melodic song with probably the best vocals on this EP. I believe you also sent me a song from this album in my first roulette, In Desertis I believe. I remember really liking that song and I really like this one as well. Next is The Chosen One. Here vocals take a pretty big dive in quality. They aren't bad here, but aren't great. The song is fairly standard Power Metal fare. There's some fairly fast and aggressive riffs throughout the song, but they seem a little monotonous and lacking in creativity. Same could be said for the guitar solo, although to a lesser extent. The song as a whole just doesn't do enough to stand out in on this EP, let alone in the genre of Power Metal. Again, the song isn't bad, just not great. The Cicada Tree is next and brings a bit more variety back, this time with a more groove laden thrash sound. There's a lot to like about this song. The vocals even take a tick back up in quality here. Nothing super crazy technical or anything, but much more pleasing and working better for the song. There are some cool contrasts in this song, especially switching back and forth between the distorted guitar attack and the acoustic stuff. The riffs here are quite a bit more adventurous than the previous song as well. Overall the song has a cool arrangement and keeps me interested the whole way through, definitely the highlight of the EP for me. Now we get to one of the more divisive tracks you've sent me, Spirits of the Trees. I have so many problems with the vocals here. She either sounds flat or sharp. Her choice of notes and vocal melodies are baffling to me. I don't like it. She can definitely sing, but she needs someone to give her some guidance/direction. She feels like a loose canon in this song. Now the instrumentation here is a very different story. The guitar attack is quite well executed, with some awesome solo trade-offs and great riffs. The drummer is competent and serves the song and the subtle keyboards add a bit of atmosphere. After this we have A Forest by Behemoth. So, I've never really cared for Behemoth. I don't really like their schtik and the vocals here are just not good. I mean, you know me, I like a lot of different types of harsh vocals, but these here are just bad. Then there is the biggest problem, this is a cover of one of my favorite songs by The Cure......and they ruined it. It's not all bad. The instrumentation is fairly well executed throughout most of the song, so there's that.... Lastly we have another band I'm familiar with, but like a lot more, In the Woods.....with Weeping Willow. This song does a great job of blending atmosphere with distorted guitars and building upon it throughout the song. I really like the use of keyboards in this song. Overall song quality was a bit hit and miss, the misses generally attributed to bad vocals.
Song Score - 7.7/10
The story here is actually quite unique and interesting. I like the use of The Butterfly Raiser to set the stage and then tell the story through the conflict between the Cicada Man and the Elders of the forest. Then Weeping Willow works kind of like an epilogue to the story. The story actually takes on a bit of a dream-like quality and I could see this as a part of a much larger story/world, something that could be built upon. If I could make one critique it would be, the lyrics do feel a tiny bit out of place in The Cicada Tree, but nothing egregious. Overall I think this was my favorite story from you so far.
Story Score - 9/10 +1 for bonus theme
Flow-wise this was also your best effort so far. The slight pause between the first 2 songs was perfect and made sense. The transition between The Chosen One and The Cicada Tree works quite well. I especially want to point out the transition into Spirits of the Trees. At first I didn't like it at all and was going to lambast you for it :D but as I kept listening to the EP I either fell in love with the way it fades together or I got Stockholm Syndromed.... Either way great job! The only criticism I can lay against the EP is Weeping Willow being noticeably quieter than the rest of the EP. Other than that, it was an enjoyable listen. Although I feel like you won't be happier with anything but a 10/10 in flow, you will have to settle ;)
Flow Score - 9/10
Overall Score - 26.7/30

Nice! That Bare Infinity album is most excellent. TAC, you got a Spotify link to the playlist by any chance (I don't necessarily need the edits and what not). If not, I can build it on my own.

Sent it all over to you.

Nice score Tim!

8. Virgin Steele - The Burning of Rome (Cry for Pompeii) (32:29)
First Impression - You went from :metal to :metardica: over the course of 3 rounds :D
Starting off with Kreator, a band I haven't listened to in over 10 years. Not really sure why, just kind of forgot about them. Anyway, Gods of Violence doesn't really sounds like the Kreator I remember. It's definitely metal though :metal Good headbanging song with some super slick riffing and tremolo picking. Even some great dueling and harmonizing guitar leads. I've never been a big fan of MiIle's vocals but they aren't a distraction here. Next is God of Emptiness. Now, I've never really cared for much of Morbid Angel and this song doesn't really change that. Also, as an aside, there's something wrong with the copy of this song you used. There are weird volume dips throughout the song. I went and checked the track on Tidal just to make sure and it doesn't have the same issues. Anyway, it made the track hard to listen to when going through the EP. At any rate, I've also kind felt like of all the Death Metal bands that came out of the '80s, Death was the premiere act and all the others were second rate. Next up, Slave New World, and I'm familiar with this album and love the song Territory. This song feels very much in the same vein as Territory, with crushing riffs and interesting drumming that stay interesting throughout. Then we jump straight into Death Metal's most consistent band (read: most boring :D ) Amon Amarth. I guess what I really mean is, you only need one album by Amon Amarth....Anyways, Deceiver of the Gods is a decent Death Metal song. That's about all I can say about it. Now is when we get to the :metardica: A Token of My Hatred and Virgin Steele in general is a hard band to pin down. I've never listened to them before and I'm not sure if I like them or not. This song is filled with cheese though, perhaps too much. The vocalist here sounds like he is trying to be Blackie Lawless, but failing miserably at it. I will say the music on this song is quite good with some great solos and riffs. I also like how the bass is actually audible here. I just think the vocals bring this down a couple ticks. Next we get two songs from a band I accidentally stumbled upon when looking for Dream Theater stuff many years ago. I always thought the band looked ridiculous so never really gave them a listen outside of a song or two, I don't really remember now. There is definitely some high level cheese going on in both of these songs, while also remaining pretty heavy thanks to the riffing and guitar tone. Vocals are good and have the right amount of cheese for a good Power Metal song. The guitar solos are also entertaining, if a little on the short side. Lastly we get to The Burning of Rome, and what a way to end this EP! This song takes everything great about the other Virgin Steele song here and dials it up to 11. Even the vocals are better here. It just sounds like a great classic '80s metal song. Great melodies, great hooks, great guitar solos, epically cheesy! I guess I will have to look into this band further...
Song Score - 7.5/10
So like the songs, the story here gets equally cheesier as it goes on, but what fantasy story isn't infused with a healthy dose of cheese. I like the idea of taking figures from Greek mythology and making your own story. I don't know how plausible this story would be within established Greek mythology, but that doesn't really matter. I like the creativity, even if I think the story could use a little more work. For instance, the last 4 songs work much better for the story than the first 4, in my opinion. All in all, not a bad story, but easily my least favorite of the 3 EPs you have sent so far.
Story Score - 7/10 +1 for bonus theme
The flow works fairly well throughout. A couple of the transitions in the first half I wasn't too crazy about, but they seemingly got better as it progressed. There's also the weird issue with the Morbid Angel song. Although I don't think I can hold that against you too much, but I would look at the files you used for that song/album, there's probably something wrong with them. Also, I never even noticed the section you took out of A Token of My Hatred or that you chopped off the intro to Deceiver of the Gods, so hats off to you there. Overall not bad.
Flow Score - 7.8/10
Overall Score - 23.3/30

OK... First off, I'm glad you liked the story. I was actually quite fond of it myself. I really struggled to create a Fantasy styled story AND find the songs to tell it. You are kind of right about The Cicada Tree lyrics. It's just that I really liked the song and wanted it on my EP. My idea to support its inclusion was when I decided The Man would steal the wings of the Cicada and try and pass them off as the Butterfly's wings.
For some reason I thought you liked Behemoth. Didn't you send them to me before? Anyway, I loved how the song represented The Man's demise, with The Forest working in concert with The Elders.
You have my Personal EP. Grab some kleenex as it is quite personal and revealing.
-
Meh, average score. I have no idea what you mean with the volume dips in the MA song. I did increase the volume for that song but not quite sure where the dips are coming from.
The goal also was for the songs to get a bit cheesier and positive as it went on to reflect the shift from evil taking over to the hero conquering.
I thought with the story each of the first four songs were just as reflected as the last batch but fair enough.

2. 00:18 - 08:05 | Kaipa - World of the Void
3. 08:05 - 15:02 | Pendragon - Masters of Illusion (first part)
4. 15:02 - 22:18 | Kapia - In the Wake of Evolution (first part)

6. 31:15 - 34:22 | Kapia - In the Wake of Evolution (second part)
7. 34:22 - 39:28 | Pendragon - Masters of Illusion (second part)
First Impression - This is quite ambitious, not sure if it all works just yet.
OK, the first track, Listening to the Silence, is just a (very) short intro piece used as ambience (more on this later), so let's skip it for now. We really get started with World of the Void. Kaipa has been one of those bands that I've always meant to explore further and at the same time they are very polarizing for me, from what I have heard. This song is actually pretty great. I love the great lead guitar used throughout the entire song. Also the song is allowed to breathe and isn't overwhelmed with too much going on musically or vocally. I think a lot of what I like in these more recent Kaipa songs is the combination of the rhythm section of Jonas Reingold and Morgan Ågren along with the amazing guitar work of Per Nilsson. Those are 3 musicians that I really enjoy in everything they do. Moving on to Masters of Illusion. This is a song I am very familiar with, I mean, The Masquerade Overture is my favorite Pendragon album. Clive Nolan and Nick Barrett is one of those musical pairings that is as good as gold....(ha, see what I did there :D ) Great synth work is a must for this style of Neo-Prog and this song has it in spades. The various change ups in this song are fun as well. In the Wake of Evolution is another "new era" Kaipa song. Similar in style to World of the Void, but playing a very different role here. The guitar playing on this song in particular is absolutely brilliant. Per Nilsson knows how to write a good guitar melody and make it sound interesting. And the trade offs between the guitar and keyboards are tasteful. Like the other Kaipa song, I like the fact that the band lets the music do most of the talking here. Next up we have The Butterfly Man. This is what I consider the centerpiece of this EP and what ties the whole thing together, not only musically, but thematically (more on this later). I love this song, as to be expected, since it comes from a 5* album. I mean it's Clive Nolan again, this time with John Mitchell, which might be an even better pairing that with Nick Barrett. Plus the vocal work of Rob Sowden on this song (and the whole album really) is brilliant! I love his voice. Also it still baffles me that Marillion basically fired Mick Pointer. He is a great drummer, with very tasty fills here. The dramatic and dark atmosphere here also works extremely well for the EP and works as a great counterpoint to the rest of the songs here. We then finish off the EP with the second halves of In the Wake of Evolution and Masters of Illusion.....see above ;) Although I do want to say you structured this EP so it would end with one of the most epic guitar solos ever. That is all.... Overall this is the best batch of songs you've sent so far.
Song Score - 9/10
I love the story-telling here and I like the way you split up In the Wake of Evolution and Masters of Illusion to give the whole EP a more cinematic feel. And plopping The Butterfly Man right in between the two halves of those songs was also brilliantly done. I like the way you tell the story of a conflict between two different people, not realizing there is no need for the conflict because there is an unseen outside force influencing and orchestrating everything. The 2 people eventually overcome the evil, but it's kind of a bittersweet victory. Most of the best told stories out there are of the bittersweet nature. The attention to detail between story and lyrics is actually pretty inspiring too. This is much more comparable to your Void I story as far as quality goes.
Story Score - 9/10 +1 for bonus theme
The flow part of this was the ambitious part I was referring to in my first impression. I wasn't sure if I liked the way it all came together at first, what with splitting two of the tracks up and putting another in between. I found that I came to enjoy it very much, however I'm still not completely sold on the part that you reversed leading into the second half of In Wake of Evolution. It's not like it was done clumsily or anything, I'm just not fond of reversed bits in music. That's more of a tastes thing (read: a me problem). Other than that all the other little edits you made were very well done. Even the usage of a tiny part of a Drudkh song in the beginning was kind of a brilliant move and one that paid off to start the EP. I mean, you even worked the title of that track into the story. Overall, definitely your most ambitious EP yet, and that ambition, I think, paid off.

Deadeye - The Unlikely Tale of Fools and Heroes
Edguy - Nobody's Hero
Avenged Sevenfold - Hail to the King
Ayreon - Sail Away to Avalon
Anthrax - Medusa
Alter Bridge - Pawns & Kings
Trivium - The Phalanx
Disturbed - The Brave and the Bold
First Impression - Outside of a couple songs, this was actually more enjoyable than I was anticipating.
Alright, starting off with a band that I’ve seen touted around by various friends for some time, but never really got around to listening to, Edguy. This song Nobody’s Hero, is actually a good bit of fun. I still don’t like Tobias’ vocals much. His vibrato is just plain annoying. It’s the same problem I have with his Avantasia project. Either way, the music here is fun and works well enough that I can mostly overlook the vocals and just enjoy the song for what it is. Next is the first of the two songs I was referring to in my first impression. A7X’s Hail to the King album was a big steaming turd in comparison to the rest of their albums. I believe a lot of the problem with the album and by extension this song is their choice of drummer for the album. I mean if they wanted someone to drum like Meg White, why not just get Meg White. At any rate, I’m fairly confident the drummer holds the band back from writing better songs. I mean how did the band have the audacity to follow up The Rev and Mike Portnoy with this guy? It’s almost insulting….anyway I digress. Also the song is 5 minutes long and feels about 5 minutes too long :neverusethis: Next up is Sail Away to Avalon and despite Cyril’s comment about the song earlier, I actually really like this song and the album it’s from. I mean, I do find it kind of funny that Arjen got the guy from Golden Earring to do the vocals on this song. His vocals are quite out of place in music like this. The female vocals work much better in this song. Overall it’s an enjoyable song for me….maybe it’s just nostalgia on my part, since when I first heard Ayreon back in 1999 this album and Into the Electric Castle were basically it. I mean, yeah Actual Fantasy was around, but I didn’t listen to it back then. Anyway, moving on to Medusa. I actually like this Anthrax track much better than the one sent in the last round. I even kind of like Joey Belladonna’s vocals here, which is saying something since I mostly don’t like him. I also like the driving rhythm of this song, it’s kind of unique. Next we get to my favorite track on the EP, Pawns & Kings. I’ve always liked Alter Bridge, but I hadn’t listened to this song yet. Probably because it’s only available as a single right now and I don’t really care to listen to singles, but I’m glad you sent it to me and forced me to listen :D Everything enjoyable about this band is still here in this song. I still think the combination of Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti is brilliant. They work well together musically/vocally. And oh man does that little instrumental breakdown in the middle hit hard! And of course Tremonti’s great lead work. This track is kind of a roller coaster ride and I love it. The Phalanx is next and from another album that I have, but haven’t gotten around to yet. It sounds like Trivium is back with more great metal though. I mean after a couple of dud albums, Vengeance Falls and Silence in the Snow, I’m glad their 2 albums after were good and this one seems like it’s just as good. I think Matt Heafy has been learning a lot from as many people as possible over the last 5 years or so and really expanding his musical knowledge and it’s really shown lately. Lastly we have the 2nd of the songs referred to in my first impression, The Brave and the Bold, however after multiple listens I’ve actually grown to enjoy the song a fair amount. It isn’t a great song, mind you, but enjoyable. I just wish their vocalist would just stop with the stupid sounds he makes. He just can’t help himself. There’s a reason Down With the Sickness is a meme….
Song Score - 7.4/10
As far as the story goes, I always enjoy a good mythological story. This one being the battle against Medusa works for me. Perhaps a bit light on content and a little bit confusing in parts, I do like the story of a nobody rising up to become the hero. Overall I think it works OK even though some of the lyrics don’t quite fit. Not the best of your EP stories so far.
Story Score - 7/10 +1 for Bonus theme
Now the flow is actually fairly decent being that it’s a Spotify playlist again. It seems you were trying to be careful with the songs to make sure they aren’t too jarring back to back. Having said that, it could use a bit of help with some edits. Like the transition between Hail to the King and Sail Away to Avalon was a little harsh. Same could be said of the transition into Medusa. Just some small tweaks and this EP could have flowed almost perfectly. As it is, it doesn’t.
Flow Score - 6/10

It’s almost insulting….
I mean, I agree for HTTK, but also he played on Carry On and Not Ready to Die, so that’s kind of a harsh statement to make. And now they’ve got Brooks Wackerman and he’s actually doing a better job with Avenged than Portnoy and Portnoy set a pretty high bar.
21.4, yeah. To be fair, I went from not being able to put anything together at all to this, so I’m way ahead of where I thiught I was. Still better than I’m gonna get with my personal EP. It’s a shame I haven’t got my recording software set up, coz I’d rather just make my own EP for that one.

I'm not a big A7X fan but I thought that album was pretty good.

I find it quite difficult to make an EP that’s personal to me without using some of the bands on the banned list. Is anybody else experiencing the same difficulties?

Not really.

I'm just having difficulty with what story I want to tell

My initial thought was doing something along the lines of my own musical experiences, but that needs to have (parts of) Metallica, Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree etc. I guess I'll have to settle with a different idea.
-
Yay, glad you liked it so much! I put quite a lot of effort in so I'm glad it paid off.
That's fair enough about the reversing, and I appreciate you not really being punitive score-wise in recognition that it's a taste thing. Ultimately I knew it wouldn't have worked to jump straight back into "TIIIIME" from In the Wake of Evolution, it was just too sudden and out of the blue, so I needed some sort of build up as Azara got pulled back into the world. I thought the reversing effect worked great but completely understand it's not for everyone.
I'm delighted you liked the Drudkh intro though. I spent a disproportionate amount of time on it, but I think it paid off. :lol I knew World of the Void was my opener but I felt it jumped into the vocals too quickly so I wanted a short intro. So I literally worked my way through all the short tracks I had in my collection seeing what would work, and amazingly this one had exactly the same motif as the opening to World of the Void. Only problems were, the sound was quite different, plus it was in E while WotV is in F. So I pitch-shifted it up a semitone, and faded in and out some cellos (playing an F) to straddle across the two tracks. Totally worth it. :hat

Methinks I have the final tracklisting for the last round. Now I just gots to clean up a few things with some edits (not diets!), and craft the story.

Hardline / 31-91

First Impression - Dang
Bonus Point for best song - In the Hands of Time
Starting this off with a song you've already sent me, eh? Bad form! Just kidding...it's not like it was an official roulette submission last time :neverusethis: Anyway I'll just repeat what I said last time about this song, since it still holds true. This song has a great progression and great sound. It almost sounds like Falling Into Infinity era production with Awake/A Change of Seasons creativity. Long story short, I like this song. In fact I may like it even better than I did the last time you sent it. It's a great song and jeez that guitar solo to end it! How Do You Feel is another great song. I love this band's brand of Neo-Prog, it being very emotion driven. Everyone plays for the song instead of doing the "prog I need to show off my uber skillzzz, dude bro" thing. I know you've sent me Mystery before and while this song has some amazing moments in it, I think it lacks some of the brilliant melodies in the other songs you've sent me. Still a top notch song though. Tired is next and from a band I don't believe I've ever heard of before. I looked them up and, yeah I'm about 101% I've never heard of this band. For a simple acoustic song, this packs quite a punch. It's strong vocally and melodically. I wasn't sure about the field recording in the second half of the song, but I'll have more to say about this later. Weak is kind of in a similar vein as Tired. This is piano driven instead of acoustic guitar driven though. I don't like the vocals here quite as much as the Mattador song. However the build up here is pretty strong. This is probably the best Thunderstone song I've heard before. Then we get to Deathless. At first listen this felt out of place (more on this later). I do love this song and the cinematic feel of it and the great varied vocals throughout (is that Michael Mills on this?). Plus we get some great guitar work from Marco Sfogli and that part with the Violin mixed with what sounds like a harp is quite nice. I wish Ostura would hurry up and release another album! Next we get a pair of Hardline tracks. Neal Schon Hardline to be precise. Gotta love Neal Schon's guitar work here. The first is just an acoustic intro to what I consider the centerpiece of this EP. In the Hands of Time is one of those tracks that just hits me just right. I can't really explain it, but I'll try. Everything about it is just perfect. It's the perfect blend of emotional and passionate vocals mixed with emotional and melodic guitar solos combined with a catchy melody that never gets tiring. The last song has a tough act to follow. Time Drops is not a bad song though. And this is another band I've never heard of before. But wait is that Andrew McDermott? Why, yes it is! So you managed to throw in my favorite Threshold vocalist on here. The rest of the song is just merely good, but Mac is awesome, as always. Needless to say you kind of knocked it out of the park with your song choices here.
Song Score - 8.9/10 +1 for Best song of the round
Now the story you kind of nailed it too. It just works. You pretty much perfectly reflected all the emotions and actions associated with going through a cancer diagnosis. Between my grandfather dying from cancer 9 years ago and my Aunt battling breast cancer, I can relate. And speaking of, it is a battle! So those field recordings of battle are actually quite fitting and I don't know if that was intentional, but battling cancer is one of the toughest battles a human can endure and fight. Then the Ostura song was also quite fitting with it being more bombastic and cinematic. It works well with the story. Again, not sure if you intended it that way, but it's how I interpreted it. Now I am almost dreading what you have cooked up for the second part. I'm sure it will be good, but I'm also sure it will be an emotional roller coaster. Anyway, I have literally no complaints about the story here at all.
Story Score - 10/10
Flow Score - I'm not going to spend too much time on this aspect. Overall the flow from song to song was fine. A couple transitions could have been tightened up, however, the pacing was fantastic and worked well with how you were trying to tell the story. Also each song had its place and fit well within the whole of the EP.
Flow Score - 8/10
Overall Score - 27.9/30

Great score Chad. Fantastic story.

I’ll take it!!
I do now feel a little bad for resending Spiral of Fear. You know, I’ve got a good memory, it just isn’t very long - even after reminding me of that concept album I built and sent even though I’d been eliminated in tha prior roulette, I totally forgot that song was in it… because again, it’s not on Spotify, so it’s not actually in the playlist I sent you! I didn’t re-read you’re review of that, so I’d also forgotten what your take on it was. It’s a fave song of mine, and one that I felt set the stage of fear/scared appropriately here.
Cheating is in my DNA so much, I don’t even know I’m doing it sometimes!!! :lol
Given how well the first two elements scored (including song of the round :fistpump:) I won’t even pull a “Tim” and complain about the flow score. ;D
-
Nice one Chad.
-
You know, I’ve got a good memory, it just isn’t very long
:lol
Umm.....I'm not sure this qualifies as having a good memory Chad.
-
Sorry/Not sorry for re-sending Mystery. Shadow of the Lake is something I've used repeatedly, but in the context of this story, How Do You Feel? is/was actually the cornerstone song of this EP - the song is written specifically for a friend of the band that was sick (unsure if it was cancer though). Remembering their 'dedication' of it when they played it at ProgStock a few years back, it always makes me remember of this person (the wife of my best friend from high school) that went thru cancer, and as such I had to re-use them.
And yes, In The Hands of Time is god-tier for me, and a top-5 of all-time guitar solo. Schon is just so good on that album (ironically, it was the same best friend from high school that introduced me to Hardline). It was the climactic track here, but (and I seemed to recall you being partial to Mac) I thought Time Drops would be a fitting conclusion (and setup/transition to Part 2).
Anyway... all around, I'm very pleased this clicked with you.

Kingshmegland - There Are No Gods Among Us
Blue Murder - Valley of the Kings
Bruce Soord - Frozen North
Pagan's Mind - Approaching
Pagan's Mind - Through Osiris' Eyes
Ancestors - On the Wind
Circus Maximus - The Weight
First Impression - This starts off way better than it ends
Starting this off with Valley of the Kings is one hell of a way to start an EP. Here's another band that I apparently need to look into. Now, parts of this song sound a lot like Whitesnake's Still of the Night. This isn't a bad thing, because Still of the Night is awesome and it's probably because this has John Sykes on guitar as well and he apparently only uses 1 guitar tone. Especially in the guitar solo and oh, that keyboard melody during the solo is almost identical to Still of the Night. I'm not completely convinced by his vocals though. They're just OK. On the other hand, Tony Franklin and Carmine Appice kill it on bass and drums. Frozen North is a polarizing song for me. I guess it's a collaboration between Bruce Soord and Jonas Renske. I like both of them in their respective bands and I think it's an interesting take having Bruce's songwriting behind Jonas' vocals, but unfortunately it doesn't really grab me too much. Also as an interesting side note, in Bruce's main band, Pineapple Thief, their bass player's name is Jon Sykes :neverusethis: Now the two Pagan's Mind songs are great. I really like this band, but I just don't listen to them enough. I always forget how good they are. Approaching works as a nice segue with some great riffs and then Through Osiris' Eyes hits you in the face with some tasty Power/Prog. I really like Nils vocals and I'm just now realizing he was the vocalist on one of the Eidolon songs that Wolfking sent in the first round. I don't know how I didn't put that together. His voice is very reminiscent of peak Edu Falaschi. The band has a great sense of melody and it's used to great effect throughout the song. Next up is On the Wind by Ancestors. I've always been a fan of their albums Suspended in Reflections and Of Sound Mind, but never really connected with the album this song is from very well. The song is alright, but is just kind of flat throughout and is probably about 2-3 minutes too long. It just doesn't do nearly enough to justify 9 minutes. Anyway, moving on the The Weight, which might be the best song on side A of Havoc. Not my favorite Circus Maximus album (that would be The 1st Chapter), but it's not far behind. It was definitely better than Isolate and Nine, in my opinion. This song has some nice catchy melodies with more proggy bits. The chorus to this song gets stuck in my head every time I hear it. And that guitar solo is magical. Then Michael just kills it on vocals, like always and Truls is my drumming spirit animal, love his drum style! Great way to end this EP. Also I have no idea what I was talking about in my first impression now :rollin
Song Score - 8/10
The story here sounds almost exactly like what I want out of a fantasy story, only severely condensed and lacking in details. But that is fine, because this feels almost like the synopsis for a grand and epic tale and something that could easily be expanded into a massive story. I am curious where you came up with the names for the people and places, I'm guessing you just made them up. They sound convincingly named though. The songs mostly fit with the story, the only exception being The Weight. I felt the lyrics to this song had little connection to the story. Other than that I enjoyed it.
Story Score - 8/10 +1 for bonus theme
I gotta hand it to you on the flow here. For just sending me a playlist of songs, this flowed almost too well. I think there was some witchcraft in the song choices here. As I kept listening to this EP and all the others I kept thinking how unfair it would be to give you a great flow score, even though you did nothing :lol Oh well, everyone else is just going to have to suck it up. Granted there are a couple edits that could have been done to make it perfect, in my opinion, but they weren't necessary for my enjoyment.

Yeah you can have Spotify to a crossfade on playlists. Plexamp does something similar (actually far better than what Spotify does), but it will actually analyze the songs and then crossfade at key points or start the next song on the beat, etc etc.

Cyril - The Drowned God
1. Dessiderium - Aria
2. Persefone - Spiritual Migration
3. Liturgy - God of Love
4. Aethereus - Upon Infinite Seas
First Impression - I think I'm going to have a hard time getting past one song here...
This first song Aria is a great opener. I here little bits from several different bands in the sound here. A little bit of Gojira, a pinch of Inanimate Existence, a touch of Equipoise, a smattering of Agrypnie, even a bit of Caligula's Horse. And I like it all! There is just so much going on here, at first I thought I was going to have a hard time thoroughly enjoying it, but it finally came around. In fact it fits very well with the next song on this EP stylistically, Spiritual Migration. Now I've always thought that Persefone's best albums were Aathma and Core, but Spiritual Migration isn't far behind. The one thing that always held it back for me is quite prevalent in this song. It has a jerky rhythm that just doesn't always sit right with me. Something about it always seems off. It's kind of djenty, but it's not. And coinciding with that is the vocals at times feel completely disconnected from the song. Most of the song is pretty great though. And kudos to their bass player Toni rockin the '90s Devin Townsend Skullet these days :lol Next we come to the song that out of all the songs this round I wanted to like the most, but man does this song just not connect with me at all. I think Hunter went off the rails with The Ark Work and has been quickly veering further into the weeds since. I don't know, there are parts of this that are brilliant and then parts that are just complete head scratcher. A few times I audibly said, "what the hell is this?" I like the way it starts with the strings, but it quickly becomes a chore to listen to. The vocals have never been great in Liturgy, but here they seem worse than usual. Then there are the constant record-skipping-endlessly parts that I just absolutely hate. The first time I listened to it I thought my computer froze while I was listening to it at one point. Then there are the repeating motifs throughout that go on for faaaar too long. If only someone could reign Hunter in a bit perhaps we will get another good Liturgy album. I don't see that happening any time soon. Upon Infinite Seas, on the other hand, is pretty much brilliant through and through. This band is from my wife's hometown, Tacoma, and fun fact, she went to High School with one of their guitarists, Benjamin Gassman. Anyway, this is basically Technical Death Metal done right, it also has some hints of early Abigail Williams in the sound. In fact, I think this bands vocalist is trying to look a bit like Ken Sorceron, but I digress. This song is great, kind of brings back feelings of hearing The Faceless for the first time. Great tech death with lots of quirkiness and oddities to the genre. Almost like if The Dear Hunter decided to write a Technical Death Metal album. Now there's a thought!
Song Score - 7.5/10
The story here of a man becoming a god out of obsession and then waging war on the other gods in the name of love and then subsequently becoming trapped in a void of his own making, to wander alone forever, feels kind of poetic and almost metaphorical. Like some of the other stories in this round, I could see this being lengthened out into an epic multi-volume story. The songs all really well with the story, both lyrically and musically. I do think it may be lacking the human emotional quality that your last 2 EPs had, but it's still a good story.
Story Score - 8.8/10 +1 for bonus theme
As per usual with your EPs this all flows quite well. I may be nit picking a little by saying the first transition isn't my favorite, even though I can't really say why it just doesn't sounds quite right. Other than that no complaints, but there didn't seem to be any over the top editing, nor was it really needed, with the exception of possibly that first transition :dunno: And sonically everything worked together.

For those who want to listen to my EP before results get posted (or afterwards), here it is. It’s a story about the offspring (or two halves, one ‘good’ and one ‘evil’) of Fate, the creator of the universe, battling for control over the world, and both failing since Fate has accidentally relinquished control to chance by sacrificing herself and creating her two halves.

Now the two Pagan's Mind songs are great. I really like this band, but I just don't listen to them enough. I always forget how good they are.

Vmadera - The Undying Solitude of The Hunter
5 Atreyu – When Two Are One (4:41)
8.5 Avenged Sevenfold – A Little Piece of Heaven (8:00)
6.5Mastodon – The Hunter (5:18)
9 Rivers of Nihil – A Home (5:19)
8 Mastodon – Blue Walsh (5:12)
9.5 Rivers of Nihil – Where Owls Know My Name (6:42)
First Impression - This feels really unbalanced stylistically and song quality wise
Best EP title
So there's a reason I never got into Atreyu. Everything I heard by them I disliked. This song is no different. I don't like the vocals and the melodies are bland or basically non existent. I feel like there is more potential but it is never really used to good effect......wasted talent. The coolest part of the song is all within the last 20 seconds....everything leading up to that point was zzzzzzzzzzzzz.........Next we have a great song with A Little Piece of Heaven, a song I'm also very familiar with. This song is always such a trip every time I hear it. I like the way it switches between melody driven almost ballad-like song structure to complete insanity. Plus The Rev absolutely slays it on drums here. Plus all the orchestration works very well here. Then we have some more quality drop off with The Hunter. I basically jumped ship on Mastodon after Crack the Skye. I gave this album a few listens, but it never clicked. I felt like Mastodon took several massive steps back. This song, the title track, is just..........meh.... The one great part is the slow build into that guitar solo at about the midway point. That is sublime. And of course Brann Dailor is always a beast on the drums. Too bad the rest of the band didn't really show up. Next is the first of two Rivers of Nihil songs, A Home. I was sent a song from this album in my first roulette, The Silent Life, which is still easily the best song on the album. This song is pretty great though. I do like their style, I just wish they could be more creative across an entire album. One consistent theme on this EP, at least musically, is the spectacular drumming. This song is no exception. Next up is the second Mastodon song, Blue Walsh. I remember picking up the EP this song is on when it came out and thinking it's the best thing the band had done since Crack the Skye. The melodies and adventurousness that The Hunter was lacking is all here in Blue Walsh. Lastly we have the second Rivers of Nihil song, Where Owls Know My Name. This song is a close second to The Silent Life on its album. A great song with great buildup and payoff! Plus saxophone in metal is always a win in my book :metal
Song Score - 7.7/10
I like the overall story here. I think the finer details could be changed a bit to make the story a little more convincing, in my humble opinion. For example, I feel like the protagonists, if they can be called that, need a better reason for worldwide genocide. That part seemed a little contrived and hard to believe. The rest of the story felt pretty good although it's all kinds of depressing ;) The songs all do a pretty good job of telling the story through each songs respective lyrics. Especially A Little Piece of Heaven and Where Owls Know My Name.
Story Score - 7/10 +1 for bonus theme and +1 for Best EP title
Flow-wise this all works really well. Especially for you only sending me a playlist. Now it isn't perfect, mind you, and it you didn't luck out quite as well as Kingshmegland did with his playlist. It could use some editing here and there to make it better, but nothing stood out as bad.

Elite - The Marriage of Fate's Dying Echoes
1. Symphony X - Communion and the Oracle
2. Ulver - Plates 21-22
3. Strawbs - The Hangman and the Papist
4. Ulver – Ord
5. UneXpect – Words
6. Schizoid Lloyd - Suicide Penguin
7. Charlie Griffiths - Crawl Walk Run
8. Ulver - Echo Chamber (Room of Tears)
9. Ulver - A Capella (Sielens Sang)
First Impression - This probably contains the most unexpected song I've received so far this roulette
Alrighty, starting off with Symphony X. This is the 2nd Symphony X song I've received so far in the roulette, not that I'm complaining. I love Symphony X. Communion and the Oracle is classic Symphony X. I can always tell it's Symphony X just by Michael Romeo's guitar tone and playstyle and Jason Rullo's drumming. I wonder how many times I can say Symphony X in this write up :neverusethis: Anyway this song has a great mellow buildup with always great keyboards that aren't too in your face. They take on this very twinkly and ethereal piano tone, which I really like. And of course this was back when Russell Allen still liked to actually sing....Anyway, not my favorite Symphony X (I said the name again!) song, but still a great one. Next we have Plates 21-22 from Ulver. I love Ulver and their William Blake album is one of my favorites. It's such a different album with many sides and little things to unravel. This song is one of the more "rockin" songs on the album and is one of my favorites from the album. Next we come to a band I never expected someone to send me, Strawbs. I was unaware anyone on this forum even listened to them :lol So The Hangman and the Papist is an interesting pick. It's basically just straight up '70s style folk music. There are touches of psychedelic prog music influence, especially with the organ and mellotron usage. And fun fact, it's Rick Wakeman on the organ and mellotron. Interesting song, if not completely captivating for me. We are going to skip right over Ord, since it's being used as a segue here. Therefore we lead right into Words. This is from one of my favorite albums of 2011 and I have not listened to it in a while. I think I will need to remedy that. Anyway, like the rest of this album this song is complex, technical, and intense with just a hint of crazy (ok, who are we kidding, a lot of crazy!). I also love the plethora of vocals styles used here. It's songs like this that make me wish the band never broke up. So, I almost thought about rejecting this submission based on you sending me Suicide Penguin again. You sent this to me in my first roulette. However, I couldn't remember it at all, so I let it slide. Funny thing is, I wrote down some thoughts on the song each time I listened to it in this EP and then compared it with my notes from my first roulette and they were nearly identical :lol So, the song maintains the quirkiness from the Unexpect song, but not the intensity and it's by far not as interesting or fun. Same with the various vocal styles, they are there, just not as well executed. Plus the way this song changes is.....kind of abrupt and not smooth at all. Anyway, there are aspects I like and some I don't. Moving on, I had no idea that Charlie Griffiths had a solo project. I like this song Crawl Walk Run, even though it's fairly well planted in the typical Progressive Djenty metal. Plus Darby Todd shows up here on drums! I've been wanting to find more stuff with him on drums as I was impressed with his live drums with Devin Townsend. Charlie's vocals sound a bit like something you would here in a Mastodon song at times. Interesting. Also his guitar playing is obviously good. Lastly we cap this EP off with a couple of Ulver tracks, one song proper and then ending with an outro track. Echo Chamber is a track from an EP I have not heard before, but it sounds like it could be a B-side from The Assassination of Julius Caesar sessions. I like it a lot. Just another song that proves Ulver could write any kind of music they want to. Anyway ending this with the A Capella chanting song actually really works for me.
Song Score - 8.1/10
I like the grand premise of the story here, if not the actual execution of said story. The idea of Fate being a person of sorts and made the universe and then essentially spawning good and evil. And then we have the classic good vs evil story, although with a bit of a twist. I think if you had a bit more time (probably a lot more time, knowing how long it takes to develop a convincing story world) you could have come up with a bit more detail on the logistics of how the world operates. I do like the ambition of the story though and it could be turned into a captivating story, given time. All the songs work well with the story, as told, but I think the only other complaint I have is similar to the issue I had with Cyril's story this round. I think this one lacks that emotional quality that your previous EPs had.
Story Score - 7.8/10 +1 for bonus theme
I think the flow here suffered a bit more than your previous EPs as well. I think this may have been due to time constraints. I know you were out of town and didn't have much time to put this together. The first transition between the Symphony X song and Plates was a bit abrupt, as was the following transition into the Strawbs song. Then the crossface between Crawl Walk Run into Echo Chamber was a little....eehhh... Then there's the probably with stylistic whiplash. Even more so than your last EP. That one I understood the purpose, this one is just a little too far on the style change scale.

Thanks for the write-up! Fun fact that happened to line up: 'Ord' means 'Words', which is the next song. And did you catch all references to God and creation in all the lyrics? I'm pretty sure there's a good story in there somewhere! Glad you enjoyed it and I agree it may have been better if fleshed out a little more. It doesn't really surprise me that I sent Suicide Penguin before, but I should have checked to make sure, because looking at your scores for the songs that one is responsible for pretty much the song score part of the EP :lol (actually if I do an average of the tracks without ranking Ord, I get 8.25 instead of 8.1 :neverusethis:).
The Charlie Griffiths album is actually really enjoyable, so definitely give that a listen. He uses a lot of guest vocalists, it's not actually Charlie himself singing on that track (although he does sing on one of them). Echo Chamber is indeed from an EP made after The Assassination... so it's in the same vein as that album. I think I agree on the flow as well. You can only do so much when mixing different styles. For some reason jazz and black/death metal works better than mixing avant-garde metal with folk/prog and synthpop.

Ok, now that the round is over, I am going to TAC it up about some of the flow scores :biggrin:. For starters, I had the 2nd highest score of the round, so I'm not bitching about this, just pointing out an observation. I don't particularly care - I think my last flow score was completely fair and appropriate (though, it was 3rd worst despite comments of "the pacing was fantastic and worked well with how you were trying to tell the story. Also each song had its place"), and as I've said from the outset, I ain't winning this thing - so I'm not stuffed about my scores.
However, looking at how you rate them, the comments and corresponding scores does make it seem like you may have an unconscious bias to those submissions that have been edited, and those that are just a playlist. Personally, I think that it's just as impressive to get a decent/good/great flow between songs *without* editing anything. I won't speak for others, but in my case, I probably spend as much time searching for the right songs/transitions as others do editing their transitions.

I dunno Chad. Not sure why you would think that when you got the second highest score of the round, as you said.
I haven't analysed other results but my flow scores seem middle of the road and I do a bit of editing and join everything as 1 track while working on transitions. I was actually feeling some of you just putting in a playlist are getting the benefit of the doubt with the flow scores. As I said, I'm not really following who is doing what or the scores that closely though, so I'm happy to be wrong.
-
From the first 3 rounds I edited round 2 and that got me a 4 in flow :lol while I know that the editing was crappy, it made me feel that Puppies was looking for something different in flow than I was. So just like Chad, I spend time finding songs that I think flow well without editing.

Just my sniff test looking at the flow scores and corresponding comments. Could be a ‘me’ thing or a hot take.
-
Ok, now that the round is over, I am going to TAC it up about some of the flow scores :biggrin:. For starters, I had the 2nd highest score of the round, so I'm not bitching about this, just pointing out an observation. I don't particularly care - I think my last flow score was completely fair and appropriate (though, it was 3rd worst despite comments of "the pacing was fantastic and worked well with how you were trying to tell the story. Also each song had its place"), and as I've said from the outset, I ain't winning this thing - so I'm not stuffed about my scores.
However, looking at how you rate them, the comments and corresponding scores does make it seem like you may have an unconscious bias to those submissions that have been edited, and those that are just a playlist. Personally, I think that it's just as impressive to get a decent/good/great flow between songs *without* editing anything. I won't speak for others, but in my case, I probably spend as much time searching for the right songs/transitions as others do editing their transitions.
I'm just going to quote myself here.
Just wanted to touch on something again here. The tracks composing your EPs do not have to all run together as one long song. If one track leading to the next doesn't warrant it, then so be it.
To give an example of how I go about editing together EPs, I intentionally look for tracks that can be edited in such a way that they will flow together without the listener really noticing. Sometimes that means chopping off portions of the beginning or end of the songs in question or crossfading them at key points. I've even gone so far as to edit sections of a song onto other places to make things flow correctly. Then there are times where I let the songs be and let them naturally end and then begin the next song. Sometimes I will add an additional gap if a song starts too abruptly after the previous one. Sometimes there needs to be a brief moment in between tracks.
It's really all in how you see your EP playing out, how you want it to flow, how you want the songs portrayed. A lot of times the music has just as much to do with the telling of the story as the lyrics do when I'm compiling tracks together for an EP or concept album.
Hopefully this helps. :)
To add to this, in the end, the score I give for EP flow is based on my enjoyment of the EP. I'm looking at these as conceptual pieces, so the less convinced I am that these disparate songs are supposed to be together, the lower the score. My comments on flow also don't always have a 100% direct correlation to the given score. Sometimes I just don't know how to put into words how I feel about certain aspects, and so I don't try. That, I guess, would be a failing on my part, but I do try convey how I'm feeling about them and give pointers of how/where it could be improved. Perhaps you are 100% happy with how it flows, but then again....Tastes!

I think I made it work.. I can send it later today, but I need to give it a few listens first to make sure!

At this point, I’m not sending in time. I have nothing to say for my next one, I’ve got work tomorrow and I'm not far off bed.

Mine is ready to go, just won't have time to put the PM together until this evening, so I'll send it then.

Same, Rich!
Edit: actually, I just put the EP in the folder so Puppies can listen if he wants to, but the tracklisting and story will follow later today or tomorrow morning!

Actually most of these ended up not being obvious at all. I took the more abstract/symbolic approach for a lot of them.

Surprisingly ever guess Vmadera made was wrong, both senders and album art :rollin
I'm that good :hat
-
i just never bothered getting my profile updated on this site bcuz it's too much of a pain
Gotcha, Crow!
Ok..so far the So Hideous sounds awesome. Jumped over to Spotify and Saved it.
Trisagion...3 songs..64 minutes. :lol I'm digging it. Saved!
Crimson Dimension...I already had this.
Wax People..interesting. Sounds like an instrumental old school Mr. Bungle.
Dessiderium...I already had this one Saved as well. It's awesome.
Midnight Odyssey sounds decent enough...Saved!
Primevil Well...It was interesting but it sounded like ass. I'd be interested with a more refined and defined sound.
Vylet Pony? Good on you. Not for me. I am anything but queer phobic though.
Cool Cyril, or Crow.. get off your ass and change your profile!
You gave me a half dozen things to follow up on so thank you.
See? I didn't hate it. :)
Although Billie Eilish can fuck right off. :lol
Oh, and I subscribed. 1400 subscribers...that's awesome.
-
I'll check it out and subscribe tonight too.

Is mine B3? I have no idea which one it is. I would love to be C2 because it looks like rage, but I have no idea.

Yours is neither. Sorry if these don't make much sense yet. I'm hoping the rest of the artwork I've done for each of your EPs brings everything into context....or at least makes more sense...
-
I could see mine being A1, A2 or C1?

Congrats ariich! :biggrin:
-
As an aside. Doing artwork based on emotions and feelings and sickness is really hard. Which is why I opted for the more abstract direction.
-
I would have guessed mine was A1, but if it’s not, could it be A3 or C2 instead?
-
Doing artwork based on emotions and feelings and sickness is really hard. Which is why I opted for the more abstract direction.
Oh, I can definitely imagine that. Writing on feelings and emotions and trying to make sense of why I picked the songs I did was difficult as well. I was thinking that I'm not the only one with those struggles. In some way, this round was easy because I knew what songs I wanted to send eventually, in another it was difficult, because of writing down what I did and confronting myself with putting feelings to words.
-
Last guess is A3. After that I’m completely clueless. I look forward to seeing how it all adds up
-
i did not have much trouble assembling this EP
to date i think the most effort i had to put into one of these EPs was the very first one
i'm already very used to writing about myself and my feeling so i guess that part just kinda came naturally :lol

Here’s the thing, USUALLY, me too. But trying to find the right songs for the initial story I wanted to tell (as in, why my username is Deadeye) wasn’t gonna happen. When I ended up getting really frustrated towards the end, I shifted my focus to being about the last year of my life and it actually just poured out. I don’t care how my flow goes, but I’m proud of the storyline. I think I told EXACTLY what I felt, I think the songs that aren’t directly in my story but are in my EP are actually super beneficial to understanding me. I think this is the one that once Puppies posts the results, I will tell the full story on here and I think you’ll see what I see.

Interestingly, I heard one of Jingle's songs at the gas station this morning :lol

Not everything, but thank you for the mercy. I’m keen to see how this actually ties into the themes of my EP coz I have no idea what it is.

If I'm not B3, then I am A3.

If I'm not B3, then I am A3.
Yep

Yeah, definitely looked like Time was Standing Still.

Time Stand Still is TAC.
Errant Astray is Elite?

Time Stand Still is TAC.
Errant Astray is Elite?
Yes and yes!

Which therefore means that Jingle is Teenage Wasteland.
Thanks to TAC for revealing himself there.

If mine is not A3 or C2, than I guess it’s A2

based on everything solved in recent posts, here's what things have to look like
i'm gonna guess C2 is Vmadera and B3 is king? if not then, well, it's just the other way around :lol
that means it's IMPRESSIONS TIME BABY

You are correct! I will have impressions up later tonight.
Just a heads up, this round will probably take a bit longer than the previous rounds. My work schedule and personal schedule has been all out of whack the last week+ and the next week isn't looking much better. But I shall endeavor to have the round finished soon and then we can start on the final round.
I've decided to forgo the bonus round I was thinking of doing. I couldn't figure out the logistics of it in a way that everyone would be happy with, so....there you have it. :corn

I love my album cover.

Now that Tim has gone to bed, how about some first impressions! :metal
- OMG...
- I see what you did there :neverusethis:
- This might be your best EP yet!
- This ends perfectly, but the rest....
- I think you Stadler'd your song choices here ;)
Kingshmegland - I swear those aren't tears, I just have something in my eye...
- I see a ton of parallels to my own life in this story. It's almost eerie.
- I'm actually enjoying the vocals on this quite a bit more than the music.
- There's a lot I like musically here, but I wonder if the vocals are going to be this EPs downfall
-
Mine?

Mine?

Close enough!

Trust me. I had tears when I typed the story. So many emotions with the 2 year ordeal I went through.

the rest aren't quite as perfect but they all still rule :metal

This is too little information to know whether or not it could be :neverusethis:
- I see what you did there :neverusethis:
I have no idea what you mean
- This might be your best EP yet!
I'm not sure I agree. On one hand I do, because I prefer my song choices here, but I think the jazz/black metal EP (Round 2) may have been 'better'.
- I think you Stadler'd your song choices here ;)
What does this mean?
- I see a ton of parallels to my own life in this story. It's almost eerie.
Knowing next to nothing about your life, this could be it? :neverusethis:

Eh, I guess not.

This one sooner than the previous one, but still I don't think so.
-
i mean, i won't contest that the last song is perfect
the rest aren't quite as perfect but they all still rule :metal
Did you (try to) send that last song to me once?
-
No idea about mine, and can't guess anyone else's as we don't know what songs everyone sent!
-
Is it time to disclose that then? I could share my EP (or just the song list) easily.
-
Or we could guess what everyone has sent :lol
Here's mine:
1. song about making love
2. song about lust and guilt, features me
3. the best song I ever received in a roulette (thanks Parama)
Bent Knee - Being Human
4. first second single from the fifth album by one of my favourite bands
5. & 6. two connected songs that are about making music, from an unexpected masterpiece album about life's struggles (I know for sure Cyril knows this record, I don't see it mentioned often here)
7. emotional song from a group's current last album about being unable to change
8. song that contains the title of my EP
-
i don't remember what song that is :metal
here's my EP:
1. first song off the first album by a band who had a #1 hit
2. self-titled track of the last band i saw before the pandemic
3. guy describes a murder and eventual suicide in excruciating detail
4. band with | in their name makes a song about impostor syndrome (sus)
5. same band as #4 covering a haken song i think
6. band lies about their country of origin and plays their latest album's title track
7. 'one of the most boring songs I have ever had the displeasure of listening to"
-
You sent Comforting Sounds!
-
i don't remember what song that is :metal
it's on the EP that made you win my last roulette. It's become one of my favourite songs ever over the years since and I must also admit I barely checked out their other stuff.
-
uuhh. hmm. i checked out that old roulette thread (four years ago, huh... :lol)
it's probably being human by bent knee then? that would've actually fit my EP pretty well but was a bit too far off what i was going for
i will note that every song on my EP is like, one of my all-time favorites in a way i can only really say about a few other songs i've sent this roulette
-

Cool, I went with a couple of all-time favourites too for this round
-
yeah that song is fantastic
idk how in my first roulette i got sent two of my like, top 10 favorite songs ever and then no other roulette ever since has been half as productive for me :rollin
curious about the album i might know too, haha
-
Mine ends perfectly, but the rest?
-
Mine ends perfectly, but the rest?
this is literally already assigned to my EP TAC :corn
-
So, your song number 4 is probably Actor | Observer who I don't know, but I've seen the name. I looked them up and apparently they have a song called Pareidolia, so that's the fifth song on your EP I guess :lol
-
eyup :tup
their cover is better than the original imo
i'll throw in that the other song from them is Dilettante, which is right before Pareidolia on the album
i'd say that's proooobably my favorite of all the albums i've submitted songs off of in this roulette? it's fantastic
-
Mine ends perfectly, but the rest?
this is literally already assigned to my EP TAC :corn
I see. It’s early here.
I’m either OMG or the bad vocals one.
Although mine does indeed end perfectly with its SFAM styled ending. And the last sung line is something that is very important to society as a whole.
-
I'm gonna go with one of the Vocal ones, or parallel to your story?
-
- OMG...
- This might be your best EP yet!
- I see a ton of parallels to my own life in this story. It's almost eerie.
Is it within these 4? I think it might be my best EP yet, even though I’m still pretty proud of Rewound, Recast.
-
TAC - OMG...
- I see what you did there :neverusethis:
Deadeye - This might be your best EP yet!
Cyril - This ends perfectly, but the rest....

Vmadera - There's a lot I like musically here, but I wonder if the vocals are going to be this EPs downfall
-
So which one is mine then? :biggrin:
-
Kingshmegland - I swear those aren't tears, I just have something in my eye...
Obviously allergic to the cat in the pic. ;D

Leave my Rikki out of it. :lol
He was the best little boy.
-
So which one is mine then? :biggrin:
The one about your life?
-
So which one is mine then? :biggrin:
The one about your life?
Negative :corn
-
Well then I don’t know. I literally gave a response to every single impression at the top of this page, so that’s my response :)
Also shame the song guessing game didn’t catch on :(
-
Deadeye - This might be your best EP yet!
I will accept it! I look forward to seeing the results.
-
And here’s me taking part in the “guess what songs I have in my EP” list
1. A great album closer from a less loved album in the band’s discography.
2. First song from the first album of a precursor to one of my favourite bands.
3. A twist on a love song, written by yours truly.
4. The latest song from a great Aussie band.
5. One of the best non-album tracks (imo) in metal.
6. The third opening track from a prog supergroup.
7. A heavy track from one of my favourite solo/side projects
8. This song was used during Marvel’s Phase One.
9. A recent single from a female fronted band.

#2?

And lest you all think I forgot about the full album booklets.......here's the first one that is complete. Hopefully you guys like these. I did something a little different this time. I make band logos for the album covers. These were, again, a mix of my own art + AI generation.
This is the first one I did a band logo for and it didn't come out quite the way I wanted. Sorry Cyril, you were the guinea pig/test subject.

Gonna have to check those tunes out, Ariich! I love Enshine, and the Antimatter song you sent on an earlier EP was great!

I have you to thank for introducing me to Enshine. :D
The Antimatter song is a short acoustic one - an interlude really, for flow and narrative purposes.
I'd be interested to see what you think of that The Ember, The Ash song.

I'd be interested to see what you think of that The Ember, The Ash song.
I'm on it!
EDIT:
Alright, I just gave it a listen.
My 3 thoughts are:
1. That's a real trippy intro.
2. I see they have Black Metal Singer Guy on lead vocals. :lol
3. It's hard to call a 9 minute song a transitional piece, but I think I need to hear it in the context of the album, which I'll do. It feels like a bridge.
I dig it though! :tup

I see the first 2 images as being a metaphor for the unresolved frustration and anger and the feeling of being alone through it all. While the second 2 are metaphorical for gradually coming out of the darkness and into the light, resolving conflicts, regaining friendships, etc.
At least it was how I interpreted the story. Sorry if they don't quite capture it correctly. I tried.

That goes for everyone else too. If you'd like me to send the original files of your artwork, I'm more than happy to oblige. :)

Man, these are all really good! Do you think I could actually use these in real life? I think they’d go with stuff I’m recording right now.
Absolutely! I can send you the original files if you'd like.
Would love that. Do you think I could trouble you to change it from Deadeye to Cael McLeish?

Love your work, Puppies. Much appreciated.

Wow! Another facial close-up :)
I like how you managed to weave all sorts of little details in the album art, and I like the duality between the 'ink stain' front and back and the coloured pictures on the inside. Really nice! Much appreciated :)
Now, I still don't know which first impression belonged to my EP, but for those who want to give it a listen; here it is:
The Errant Astray (https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ag0Y0Zf-NtHtgohWbj_e8pWM0pgE_A?e=gJQbkv)

2. Overhaul - The Dance
3. Bent Knee - Being Human
4. Leprous - Stuck
5. Cursive - Some Red-Handed Sleight of Hand
6. Cursive - Art is Hard
7. Pain of Salvation - Wait

Yeah, I was pretty sure you know all of those songs, apart from the Overhaul tunes. In fact, I'm quite sure you introduced me to Cursive (hence my comment earlier in the thread), though I don't know whether you sent them in a roulette or that I just randomly read about them on these forums. Being Human was definitely yours

:rollin I am so glad to see I’m not the only bastard in this Roulette who will actually use their own songs. I did it with my alt history, and it’s my 3rd song on this one, but it’s just so good to know that I’m not the only one. Better believe I’ll be checking those two songs specifically.

In all the roulettes I've played in, this is only the second time I have sent my own songs. I don't do it lightly, but this round kind of called for it :)

Skip this if you want, but this is the story of my EP.

My EP is called Searching For A Purpose, because that’s kinda how I feel since this whole thing has gone down. This was a bitch to come up with as my original story was going to be about why my name on this Forum is Deadeye (which, if anyone cares, is because I have an eye condition called Keratocomus and I have had to have a corneal transplant, so I have part of an eye from a donor, so I honour them but rocked it up a little). There aren’t really songs to cover that topic though, then I almost went a fictional route, before I got really frustrated and ended up writing about my anger issues last year.
My opening 3 songs don’t directly deal with the storyline but are rather there to introduce a character, the character of Cael McLeish. In 13, I deal with the fact that i’m a musician and have been since the age of 13 and that it’s been a way to deal with a lot of my frustrations.
With Shuddershell, I’m attempting to make the point that I can be socially awkward and not really know how to deal with my emotions properly, which can also be even more frustrating. I’d also like you to heed the lyrics of the third verse while delving deeper into this. “Don’t confuse this for confession, as a plea for sympathy. It’s just a window to a soul bound by all my insecurity”.
My original song, If I Were Good Enough…, deals with a lot of how I view myself. While dealing most directly with my love life, this really stands applicable to most aspects. I am not now, nor do I believe myself to ever be, worthy of truly being loved by anyone bar my direct family but I will still be there to take in your load in my life. But if I were good enough, I’d still be the wrong choice.
The main story starts after this, and directly deals with a period between June 2021 and inky just beginning to resolve itself now. While I don’t and won’t get into the background details, just know there was a whole lot of real bad shit going on behind the scenes.
Ragdoll’s Rust is where my monster starts to take hold. “Every day, there’s a new way to learn how to hate. Yourself, someone else, selling out your own fate. Look within, it’s a sin, do you like what you see? Showtime, cover your eyes, I can take it from here. I’m the one you’re waiting for, I’m the fear that won’t let go. Let me in, no one needs to know.” I found myself getting frustrated constantly, in a way that often boiled over into rage, but instead of my monster being the Hulk, mine was just me being an absolute asshole to everyone around me and pushing away those who tried to calm me down.
Angry Again is that monster. Eventually absolutely everything pissed me off, so I was always angry. I can’t express myself properly, so it’s just a spout of bullshit rage. “Enforce a mental overload, I’m angry again”.
Who wants to be friends with that? I was absolutely terrible as a person, repeatedly. So eventually everybody just vanished. Ties were being severed and I thought irrevocably. I was certainly feeling The Loss Inside. I felt like I was getting sucked into a black hole that I myself had created. But I felt like I had really hit the absolute rock bottom. I knew I had to make a change. With Giving Up, I’m dealing with every feeling that I had at the time. I was uninspired by the truth of who I was, I held every feeling of “I absolutely suck and I deserve it” in my heart until it absolutely killed me. It was time to make a change.
Walk is maybe an odd choice here, but this is me trying to talk about the experience of going to headspace and talking to a psych and really trying to better myself. If there was ever a song I wanted to put in that was banned, it would probably be Learning to Live by DT, because “kindness, beauty and truth” was something I reminded myself of every day. I realised how much I cared about everyone that I made it seem like I hated, I acted how much I wanted to make amends with those I had hurt. It felt like I was becoming a person again.
Ending off, The Steeple is how I feel now. I’ve regained friendships, I’ve done my best to right as many wrongs as I possibly can. It’s stopped raining in my head and I finally feel like myself. The version of myself that I want to be. It was a long road out of hell, but I found a better life for myself. I definitely don’t feel the anger, at least not the way I did.

Thanks for sharing Cael, I enjoyed reading that. I can relate to a lot of what you wrote there but it was pleasing to see you've come out the other side.
Mate, you need to not be so down on yourself, there's someone out there for everyone. Tell yourself you're good enough. Love yourself and many will want to love you too.
That eye condition is incredible. How is your vision in that eye?

The one I replaced is pretty decent most of the time, but a bad day is absolutely blinding. Problem is, I seem to keep going into rejection if I get six months off my drops. Hooray.

I should have my album wrapped up in the next couple of days too.
I've had second thoughts on a few songs Tim, but mostly decided to stick with first instincts on everything.

Appreciate the read, Deadeye. Glad things are looking up. There's no reason not to.
That's interesting about your transplant.
-
Just as an FYI, I am taking quite a bit longer with this round. Partly due to my work schedule being an absolute cluster right now, but mainly since all these EPs this round are all deeply personal stuff for you guys, I want to make sure they get the time and attention they deserve and making sure I fully understand each story as it relates to the songs that were chosen. I want to do these justice in my results.

I hope he’s alright. I mean it’s one thing to be a dick to him when he’s actually actively participating, but if something’s actually going on, I would much rather support him however I can so he can get through it.

I don't mean to be nosy or pushy. If he has something going on that's keeping him away, that's fine. Personal life takes precedence over forum roulettes.

The Wolf
This story I came up with pretty quickly. I had something different penned for this round but decided to move that to the album round. So for this round since it's supposed to be a story about me, I kind of have done a mix of songs revolving around wolves but still relating it towards myself personally. For the story, I'll go along song by song, to tell a loose basic story but also how it relates to me in my life. So there's probably not as much detail, but obviously explains me, things I've been through but has the wolf tie to each song for kicks. While the story isn't as detailed laid out, the meaning for me personally is very strong. I just hope that comes across.
Basically, it's about me growing up then getting a job, a job I end up getting stuck in to this day. I always wonder if it was meant to be and if it is what I'm supposed to be doing. I've put my life into my work and have done for years since I was about 21. Early on I met my partner and while we've had our ups and down, we're still at it together and after a rocky 6 months, things are pretty strong. She obviously comes into the songs and the story here. Me personally, I've always been scared to just quit my job and find something else. I'm damn good at my job and have had success, although as time goes on, something you put so much effort into bears its soul and you eventually see things differently and wonder what happens next and why you've sacrificed yourself for something for so long, especially for others. The story is basically that, getting trapped at work and spending time finding what I'm supposed to be doing. But by the end as you continue on and this fragile thing called life, is what we're doing actually already what we're supposed to be doing? Who knows.....the road of life continues and the hunt is always going on......
Mastodon - The Wolf is Loose
The title bears a lot here which reflects my early life and growing up. This kind of revolves around my growing up, being a kid then teenager, partying, drinking, playing guitar and not giving two shits to the world. Lines like 'Howling on, Through fields and graves' and 'Take on form' I have related to the early part of my growing up. Pretty basic.
Some key lyrics;
Refusal of return
Howling on
Through fields and graves
Take on form
Shapeshifter rolling on winds of tyrants make
Fierce lore of fanged horn
Danger all the way
The faces of bodies slain
Returning to the form of natural human's fate
Grown from the cold
Spirits unclean
Dealer of the days
The ice will thaw
As the soldier walks through the crimson side
Blaze - Blood and Belief
Yes, another Blaze song but this song and its lyrics have always been so relatable, they are massive for me. Basically, the wolf was running wild and carefree but then changes started to happen as the wolf grows older and the wolf attitude and carefree spirit started to die. This basically relates to going into adulthood and getting the job I currently have had for over 15 years now. Working for a Government sector slowly grinds you down and I've had my struggles over time, so pretty much all the lyrics here are bang on for that situation. I've always thought work and the company have slowly taken my 'blood and belief.' At times have worked 80 hour weeks, 7 days a week and sacrificed so much in my life that this rings true. I omitted the first little section so that's why it starts at the wolf part, mainly for flow.
Some key lyrics;
Blood and belief
They take from me my blood and belief
They take from me my blood
He was once a wolf
Roamed and never cared
Never wished for death
Few of us can know
With that certainty
Where we do belong
Death was always close
But he was so alive
When he was walking out there, near the edge of life
Then the change began
Changing to a man
His soul was trapped inside
Ordinary man waiting for his death
The wolf lay dead inside
Saxon - Night of the Wolf
The wolf now beaten and broken down over time, wants to find that free spirit back again. He searches and hears other wolves howling embracing their roots and calling. The lyrics basically reflect that, going through life wondering how to break free and get back to a life once was. Knowing I'm tied down to a job but knowing there's more out there again I can discover and get the burning fire back. The line 'When man becomes the hunted, screaming in the night' I like a lot, which kind of explains that wolf that's turned into a man scared of other wolves so to speak. I was the hunter but slowly have become the hunted, kind of thing.
Some key lyrics;
When man becomes the hunted, screaming in the night
On your knees and pray to God to keep the beasts from sight
Night of the wolf
Hear them calling
Night of the wolf
Howling at the moon
They're fighting for survival, it's the only thing they know
Tribulation - Hour of the Wolf
A bit more cryptic this one. But this one is basically the time when you go through things and start to realize mistakes you've made, things you've hidden from yourself and lied to yourself about and basically admitting things to yourself that could and should have been done different. Basically what the wolf needs to do to slowly get back what he once has and admitting things to yourself and mistakes made is part of that. The lines 'And all that you hold dear, Is bound to crumble, And come to dust' reflects what I've done with work and the sacrifice but then starts to crumble over time and you realized time wasted and things you should have handled differently and the sacrifices you've made personally. The 'Making me stare into the eyes of death' lines is also pretty scary even though the timeline of the meaning of this line was later on in the time of the story, it's still relevant.
Some key lyrics;
Phantoms haunting me
Specters in the night
Making me stare into the eyes of death
Is bound to crumble
And come to dust
And come to dust
Ghosts are haunting me
In the dead of night
Making me stare into the eyes of death
Awake and in dreams alike
In the hour of the wolf
I open my heart to their dark caress
Megadeth - She Wolf
The wolf has started to get confidence, aggression and the bite back and the story now introduces the she-wolf. so this is obviously where I meet my partner. I met her earlier in real life but for the sake of the story I'll introduce her here. The she wolf captures the wolf over time and puts him under a spell. Just the rock he needs as he's finding himself once again. She has been there but he realizes how much he needs her. The lyrics are cool as you know, it's a female, can't live with them, can't live without them kind of thinking here and the song is good at reflecting that I feel. But once you're under a spell, there's nothing you can do.....
Some key lyrics;
The mother of all that is evil
Her lips are poisonous venom
Wicked temptress knows how to please
Priestess roars, "Get down on your knees"
A howling man surrenders the fight
The fight
One look in her lusting eyes
Savage fear in you will rise
Teeth of terror sinking in
The bite of the she-wolf
One look in her lusting eyes
Savage fear in you will rise
Teeth of terror sinking in
The bite of the she-wolf
King Diamond - Follow the Wolf
The wolf and she wolf become closer again over time and still he is under her spell and does whatever she wants. He follows her wherever she goes, again, being the thing he needs and helping him find his spirit again. She wants to help him wherever she can as they go off together to find peace. Will he follow her to the end?...... I cut the first section and the ending section out for flow and relevance.
Some key lyrics;
Follow me, follow the wolf
And so I followed the wolf, up the wooded mountain side
Close to the top... she suddenly stopped
Sun to the east, man and beast
Just two silhouettes... in a landscape never to forget
I must follow the wolf again, I must follow her till the end
The end
Wolfheart - The Hunt
The hunt and search continues for a new life while trying to leave the old life behind, but it's a struggle to leave. The wolf and she wolf are side by side but moments of hollowness and helplessness still affect our main character. Will the hunt continue forever? He searches high and low clinging to the hope of what he's looking for. Sometimes it's the hope that one day things will change that keeps you going and allows you to continue in the current situation you are in. Good people by your side helps but there's still something missing. You hope it will come in time.
Some key lyrics;
Blood marks the trail
Red paints the skyline
Hunter's moon embraced with howling forlorn
The daybreak revealed the marks
Traces of a wounded leader
Rules the lands from these woods and beyond
Race through the woods
Hasten over the waters
Run upon the frozen lakes
Reach a higher ground
That reveals the realm
Under your might
White kingdom of frost and ice
Ruler of the frozen lands
From these woods and beyond
Embraces the hunter's moon
With howling forlorn
Green Carnation - Hounds
This one uses hounds more as a metaphor but is the perfect closer to the EP IMO. Great mood and nice and long with a great atmosphere. Basically now, the wolf and she wolf go through troubled times and just continue to exist. Lines like 'No one here but not alone Darkness feeds upon my soul' gives off the hopelessness feeling of not being able to change, as does 'In search for the answers, the trail went cold'. The wolf is accepting his existence and basically makes the suffering easy to deal with. The lines 'I stand by your side, Feeding the hounds of existence' give off the impressions that sometimes relationships stay together out of habit, but then 'While I'm alive, I won't let them near us' cements that you are together for a reason. The wolf and she wolf continue together to find a better life, but is the life they are looking for already in front of them. Is their current existence already the better? Who knows, they continue searching through the woods together..... Basically the end is I'm still working, but still aimlessly wondering if the change will ever come. Do I grow up and make it myself one day, or accept the current situation forever. Nevertheless, the hunt will always go on.....
Some key lyrics;
I don't want to know, I shut it down
That's my freedom, as long as you're around
All that I once held as true
Always brings me back to you
You may think I should have known
No one here but not alone
Darkness feeds upon my soul
From grief I'll rise
From grief I stole
When I have a moment of pure delight
As if I am pulling the wrong to right
I can take this for granted but I'm way too old
In search for the answers, the trail went cold
While I'm alive, I won't let them near us
I stand by your side
Feeding the hounds of existence
The hounds of existence
Swim in cold waters
Sink like a stone
Swim in cold waters
Carry on
At the end of the world
We'll find a shore
We'll find a shore
With the thinking behind the songs and flow I guess I'll put what I was aiming for;
Mastodon - Obviously the aggressive heavy intro of a life not giving a shit, full steam ahead.
Blaze - Still heavy as things slowly start getting sucked out of you.
Saxon - I wanted to keep it heavy to give off the aggression still but the hope to find again once that was.
Tribulation - This has more of a bleaker desperate nature to it. The wolf spirit isn't returning but song gives off the desperation of the wolf.
Megadeth - Goes heavy again with a more traditional approach. The lure of the woman and the energy and excitement we get from them.
King Diamond - Goes back to a little desperation and the hope the she wolf leads our character to the answer to his life. King Diamonds vocals gives off that anxiety and fear IMO.
Wolfheart - The mood turns into a more bleak gloomier approach when the hunt continues but things are looking grim. Takes the EP on a turn that our character may be stuck and starting to accept current situations.
Green Carnation - Again, the longer nature of the song gives off that acceptance, while the bleak approach gives off acceptance and making the best of a situation while hopefully something may be found one day.
Apologies for the long post.

Wolf, that’s a great story. I hope that, one day, you find exactly what you’re looking for out of life with your She Wolf. Embrace it, you’ve already changed each other’s course for the best. This victory will be yours, I know it to be true!

My story.
I grew up with 2 passions, sports & music. The intertwined sometimes too. I was always active as a kid and then a teen. At 23 I started dating the love of my life, Lisa. (The Queen) She wasn’t big on sports but loved music. (She now loves football and hockey) We were married in 1994.
6 years into being married, I started to feel off. I felt my tendons in my arms were on fire. I started to sweat at night and get slight fevers daily. It started to get worse. (All That’s Left) The fevers got up to 104 degrees and I felt sharp, stabbing pains in my side, armpit and neck. A bath always helped. My primary and specialists couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. I had an ultrasound looking at my chest when they saw something else by accident. My lymph nodes were growing. 1 year of fevers, sharp pains and not knowing was found by accident.
I had Lymphoma.
Through all the Lisa, was by my side. It was emotional for her. (Anchor) The doctors were still trying to find where the cancer originated. The couldn’t. I was getting worse. I had bone marrow taken from me to see if it was cancerous. Most painful thing I ever felt. Bloodwork. Samples of my lymph nodes. I long needle broke in me. They had to go across town to get another needle for the procedure. I was still fevering. Things were getting to critical mass. Lisa still there by my side. (The Greatest Gift)
I still worked though all of this. One day, I was driving to work, I pulled over and puked. I felt immense pressure in my stomach area. I worked a few hours, I was soaked. Sweating like it was 95 degrees out. I sat down, looked at my boss and said, I can’t do this. Something is wrong. I went home. The puking continued. I called my wife at work the next Moring at her work. I couldn’t get the sentence out. I was throwing up again. She came right home. At the same time my 2 brothers in law came to our town house as Lisa Showed up. They carried me to our car. It was time to be admitted. (The Inner Darkness)
I was admitted to the hospital. The cancer spread to my spleen which grew 4 times it’s size causing me to throw up. Also touched a bit of my liver too. They decided after the surgery to take out the spleen, I would start Chemotherapy. I ended up getting blood clots in my lungs as a complication from the surgery. 3 weeks in the hospital, followed by getting double the amount of blood thinners. A mistake between the oncologist and the pharmacy. Doc told me I was ok. A freak of nature. My body handled the blood thinners. Now the chemotherapy. (Prayers)
Chemotherapy the 1st week. 2nd week all the electrolytes gone from the chemo. I could barely move. 3rd week I started to feel better. Then start the chemo again for 5 more times. It was tough I wish I could just disappear sometimes. (Disappear) I had some dark moments. I tried to stay positive. I told all my friends, family and wife that I would beat it. I lost all my hair. Gained 150 pounds from the steroids I was put on. (I will send a picture to you after I send this). It was around the 4th treatment that I started to feel better. Less pain, I knew then I would beat this.
My last treatment was 5 months after the 1st treatment. My wife and I were going to get through this. I had no disability. Friends through a surprise party for me and gave us $7,000.00. (I’ve never cried so much in front of so many people.) To this day, 21 years cancer free. So many people were there for me. I still get chocked up thinking about it. So many people helped me to get where I am today. I will always be grateful. (Life Going By)

Amazing, Joe.
Brohug!

Wolf, that’s a great story. I hope that, one day, you find exactly what you’re looking for out of life with your She Wolf. Embrace it, you’ve already changed each other’s course for the best. This victory will be yours, I know it to be true!
Thanks mate, yeah things will fall into place. It's nice to put these stories down in writing too, makes you think more, and thanks for reading. :tup

Reading Joe's and everyone else's so far reminded me of this quote from Deadeye...
The Words You Never Want to Hear
Damn, that title makes me realise I’m gonna be very sad when I hear that one.
I don’t think anyone’s gonna learn anything about me other than I’m a dickhead when you hear my story though.

King, you are amazing. I don’t know I could’ve gone through that and survived. You are amazing, you are strong and I am so glad to read the ending. 21 years cancer free. I barely know you, but I am proud of you.

That you are human and serious issues affect how we interact with others. If you know it's a problem and work on it, you should look proudly on it.

There's not one thing dickheaded about your story.
I was referring to me!

It's nice to put these stories down in writing too, makes you think more, and thanks for reading. :tup
Have to admit, there’s a strange healing quality to putting this all out in the open the way we are right now. I hold a hell of a lot more respect for all of you right now, I can’t lie.

You need to not be so down on yourself mate. Self confidence is something I've always struggled with and it's certainly not easy, but allow yourself to be proud of who you are at times. :tup

I wish it was about digging out of his time capsule underground in the 2000's but I have a good idea Tim's story. It will be emotional.
And thank you guys. It was a ten round battle and I actually have more horror stories of my battle.

I went hard at my Concept Album the last couple of days. I changed my last track and re-edited the entire second half, and made one re-edit on the first half. Got my cover artwork set. It's basically ready to go.
I must say, I really like this one.

I'm sorry to do this to you guys, but I just received the news that 2 of my close friends just died tonight. I need some time to process, so there will be a hiatus. I will pick this back up, I'm just not exactly sure when yet.

That's horrific. Take all the time you need.
I'm so sorry.

Thats just awful mate. Take all the time you require.

Wow, that's terrible. Don't worry about 'doing anything to us', per your own quote "Personal life takes precedence over forum roulettes", so this obviously applies to you too. Take care, and take time. I can't imagine how you must feel :(
-
Thanks for sharing both your stories, king and wolf. Like I said a few pages back, I feel like I should share mine too.. it's rather personal, but so were the posts by you guys, so there really isn't a good reason not to

You're not obliged to mate at all. If you're not comfortable in posting, don't do it. No issues.

Jesus dude, that’s absolutely terrible. I’m so sorry for your loss, may they Rest In Peace.
To use your own quote,
Personal life takes precedence over forum roulettes.
So don’t worry about us, at all. Here for you if you want an inbox to vent in. Much love and support.

Such horrid news Pup, really sorry to hear it. Take as much time as you need.
-
Oh shit!
-
Sorry to hear that Pup. Take your time and take care.
-
Goddamn Chris, that's just fucking terrible. I can't even begin to imagine, or put anything in to words. Be with your loved friends and family in this time of grief and mourning. DTF will be here when you're ready.
-
Thanks everyone. My wife and I are absolutely distraught. I just don't even know what to do or say at the moment.
-
I'm very sorry for your loss Pup

Chris, saw you lurking Saturday. How are you guys making out?
-
Chris, saw you lurking Saturday. How are you guys making out?
It's been a rough week. I'm not looking forward to the funerals.
Thanks for checking in. I have been lurking from time to time over the week, but I just haven't been able to bring myself to post anything.
-
Just to not leave you guys hanging too much, I'll post the final 2 sets of album art I made. I had finished these and intended on posting them Tuesday night, but, well, you know.... I have a busy and stressful week ahead of me, so hopefully this will give you guys a little bit to talk about in my absence. Also, sorry TAC, I intended on making a fake album art set for your album to keep up the charade, but I didn't get around to it before Tuesday.

Here's my EP..
The link is only available for 2 more days. I'll re-upload it in case anyone misses it. But the EP doesn't work the way it's supposed to work by simply making a Spotify playlist.
(https://i.imgur.com/TCnYHYW.jpg)
Not Gonna Do It
https://we.tl/t-RiV3Ya9KgP
1. Smiling-Shopping Cart 0:00
Narrator: Let's go shopping!!
2. Persifone-Returning To The Source 1:53
Narrator: At the end of every shopping trip, what do you do with your cart? Do you return it to the source, the corral, the store? Or do you just leave it near your car, as it's someone's job to come get it. Are you a bad person if you leave it?
Such stress in this one decision.
"So much dark around this step
So much fear... Ignorance... The humankind
We have been instructed
Hypnotized during our life
Instilling in us
I transcend this spiritual step
Losing my being, my ego
I let myself go..."
3. James Labrie-Undecided 8:32
Narrator: Society is putting pressure on us, slowly changing our behaviors. Making our decisions for us.
"The pulpit the teachers
Have warned us
Blindly accepting
Their words as truth
Can't help that you're suspicious
Something is missing
Still you can't decide
But you're letting them guide you
How can we listen
These empty words
In their messages meanings"
4. VOLA-Controllable 13:52
Narrator: No one should control what we do. We should return the carts why? because it's the right thing to do? Who says? Why is one looked down upon for leaving the cart for the carriage boy?
"He was never sure of the decisions made before he found a way to take control of his head
Now he has decided he will not be all divided by the sentiments that bring him to his knees
He is getting tired of illusions undesired showing up and pulling him out of peace
We are not controllable
I am not controllable"
5. Death-A Moment Of Clarity 18:52
Narrator: At once, the moment is clear. The choice is made. Not for him, but by him.
"Life is like a mystery
With many clues but with few answers
To tell us what it is
That we, can do to look
For messages, that keep us from the truth
Open my eyes
Wide to see
A moment of clarity
Confusion gone"
6. Bonus Hidden Track
Horchata Network-Shopping Cart Chorale 27:49
Song notes:
1. Returning To the Source, with the chaotic vocals represents the stress involved.
2. Things lighten a bit in mood with Undecided. It represents reasoning.
3. Things get a bit heavier with Controllable, as the resentment starts to build.
4. A Moment Of Clarity represents full "fuck it" mode.
5. The last line of the hidden track is...beautiful.
Editing Notes:
1. I cut most of the outro to Returning The Source. It kind of goes on and on. If you're familiar with the song, you'll pick up on that right away, and it'll likely sound weird to you.
2. The transition between Undecided and Controllable was one that I struggled with. I tried all sorts of ways. Ultimately I just tried to hit it on the beat. I did raise the treble a bit on Controllable to try and make it closer to Undecided. There is a slight sound difference between the songs, but I was just kind of stuck with it.
3. I really struggled in how to bring in A Moment Of Clarity. Nothing I did I was happy with. I ultimately decided to download a sound effect of a carriage being pushed and crossfaded it between the two tracks.
4. A Moment Of Clarity crossfades into Static. I like how some albums finish like that before the final line. I added Dana Carvey's classic "Not gonna do it" after the static after a brief pause. Kind of like the ending to SFAM.
5. I left two minutes of silence to simulate a true "hidden track".
-
Pup, we'll be here when you get back. Take care and good luck this week.
-
the outro of returning to the source is really good and idc that it's like four minutes long it's a good riff :metal

Yeah, but it felt repetitive for the EP. I kind of felt like I was waiting for the song to end.

Today was a crappy day. Have been feeling quite depressed, so I needed something to distract myself. I tried listening to all of your EPs again, but most of them are just too emotional at the moment and I just can't listen to them right now, especially knowing the back stories for them. So I threw myself into improving some of the art I have made for not only this rounds EPs, but also some of the stuff from the past rounds. This proved to be a decent distraction for the day. Hopefully you like the improvements I made.

Can't imagine it'll be any easier to listen to some of these next week either. Would you consider skipping this round as far as scoring/results? Seems like it could be quite a chore for you. And I say this as the clear cut winner of the round. ;D
Maybe have a comedy/fun EP round instead, or go right to the concept album, or whatever..
-
I know you said this one was probably my best in your opinion and I’m definitely keen to see your thoughts, but I’d be more than happy to just skip past it and go into something else if it’s going to be better for you, Pup. I tend to agree with TAC in that if our EPS aren’t something you can listen to now, it probably won’t be easy for a while.
Just know, I’m here for you mate. Distance leads to me not being able to do much for you, but I have an inbox and an ear to lend on the other side of it. Wishing you the best.
That new artwork looks great, love the higher quality of the Searching For a Purpose cover! You’re beyond gifted when it comes to art mate. I’d love to work with you in future.

Maybe have a comedy/fun EP round instead, or go right to the concept album, or whatever..
So, this may not be a bad idea. I can put this round on the backburner and do a bonus round. Maybe make it a "light-hearted/upbuilding/feel-good" themed round. No real story necessary, just keep it within that theme. What do you guys think? Then after that I will circle back around to the "Personal Story" round.

Sure mate, whatever you need. If you want to do a fun round to give you something to try and take your mind off things a little, I'm sure we'd all be happy to. If you wanted to continue the hiatus, that's fine too. We are guided by you Chris.
-
I'm not sure I'd really have time to put into another round, but I'm 100% fine with the hiatus taking as long as you need. There's no need to rush and you should not feel any pressure to entertain us in the meantime!
-
Just been catching up on this emotional roller coaster of a roulette.
So sorry for your loss Puppies, I can't imagine what you must be going through :heart
And reading up on everyone else's heartwrenching stories as well. DTF really does bring people closer together and give people a space to talk about things they may not in their day to day lives. DTFers, you are some beautiful souls.
-
yeah i'm not sure i'd have the time (or the tunes) for a bonus round but however long you need is fine

I have a playlist in my iTunes library called "Happy Happy, Joy Joy". I would gladly curate something from there for ya.

Actually if it was like an "interlude" round that didn't contribute to the scores but was just for fun, then I'd probably be up for that. That way, it would also be optional for anyone who for whatever reason isn't able to participate.

This is pretty much what I was thinking. I just need something to occupy my mind so I don't go crazy or fall into a void of depression. Not an official round. Just anyone that would like to throw something together for me and send it over. I'll even give a few thoughts on it, perhaps next week sometime when I have the time to really type something out.
-
A free round to make you laugh? Yes. I'm all for laughs and helping in times of need.

The YtseJam Records of EP Roulette rounds. It happened and it kinda counts, but it’s really not in the main line of releases. No big concerts, just upbeat tunes.
Maybe we take off the banned band list too abd it’s just a “what makes you happy” list? Kinda an offshoot of the personal EPS in that we’ll all have different songs that make us happy.

Just want to say thanks to Jingle for sending me a bunch of happy/feel good music. Made my week!
I'm hoping to try listening to the round 4 EPs again starting next week or the week after (we'll see how it goes) and try to get this roulette back on track.
-
I sent happy feel good music for Round 4 anyway! :lol
No rush, Chris. No rush at all. :)

How are you doing, mate? Just wanted to check in and send my best wishes.

Thanks for checking in. I'm basically taking it a day at a time. I've slowly been getting more active on the forum and I haven't forgotten about this roulette, but it just hasn't been on my list of priorities at the moment.
I will return in full force. So get your final round submissions ready at some point in the near future...

Bro, like no one’s attempted first impressions on this one. Planning to do my one by one again today.

First of all, let me say thank you to everyone for being patient with me while I was dealing with personal matters. I'll tell you, this has been one of the hardest months of my life. Dealing with my own feelings, seeing the absolute anguish of the 2 families that lost someone, managing the fallout, etc etc. Things are still slowly getting better and I feel like I'm in the right headspace to continue this now. So thanks again to all of you. :hug:
So on with the first batch of results for round 4. These have been a long time coming. I also included some "remastered" cover art for the albums too. I wasn't completely happy with all of them, so I improved some of them.

7. Wolfheart - The Hunt (24:27)

First Impression - I think you Stadler'd your song choices here ;)
This starts off kickin with a band that should have probably been banned, but meh. The Wolf is Loose is such a banger of a Mastodon track and starts this off fantastically. Not much to say about it musically other than it's just a fantastic track. Next is another Blaze song. I'm getting exposed to more Blaze than I had hoped in this roulette, but at the same time I haven't regretted listening to either Blaze track so far. This one isn't exactly as good as the other one you sent me, but it's still a far cry better than anything he did with Maiden. The song might be a little longer than necessary, but not terribly so. I mean I can't really say where the track should be cut down. I especially like the chorus here, it worms its way into my brain and then the little instrumental section just after the first chorus is pretty sweet. I guess I'm going to have to finally give in and listen to some Blaze solo stuff. Thanks Kade....I guess ;) After this we get Night of the Wolf by Saxon. This is another one of those bands that I always meant to check out more, but always managed to slip past me. I'm not sure I really like the singers vocals a lot here. I kind of have the same issues with him as I do Tobias Sammet. The way he uses his vibrato and the obvious limits on range. It's not terrible, just not my cup of tea, if that makes sense. Instrumentally this is pretty nice even if the drummer is a bit boring. Would have loved to hear the drummer change things up a bit more and add a few more interesting flares. Hour of the Wolf starts off interesting, but falls into what I call Amon Amarthisms. Other than some of the cool atmospheric keyboard parts, this song doesn't really capture my interest much. Feels very death metal by numbers. Then we get She-Wolf and let me just cut right to the chase. Why didn't Dave Mustaine ever see fit to hire a proper vocalist. He is a gifted guitarist for sure, but the exact opposite on the mic. I know some people think he fits perfectly fronting Megadeth, but I beg to differ. This song shows both qualities in spades. Great guitar licks and bad vocals :P Follow the Wolf brings things back up a bit. There's no denying King Diamonds ability to sing and hit some incredible falsetto notes. The problem with King Diamond's solo stuff, and by extension Mercyful Fate, is there is a certain quality to the music that just does not resonate with me at all. It's all seemingly perfectly executed, but it just doesn't do anything for me. Having said all that, this song is sprinkled with all kinds of cool parts. Like cool lead guitar flares, the aforementioned falsetto moments, and even some great drumming. Next is The Hunt by Wolfheart. If I'm not mistaken the frontman for this band is also the guy behind Black Sun Aeon, which I really like. Never listened to Wolfheart before now though. I actually really like this. Especially that 2 minute intro before the vocals kick in. Then the song just kind of kicks your face in. Great use of melody in the guitar leads and pummeling drums has me headbanging to this quite a bit :metal At times this reminds me of Insomnium and Enshine a little bit. Great song! Finishing things off we have Hounds. Green Carnation is another band I'm quite familiar with, but really only their first 2 albums. I know I gave the album this song comes from a listen back when it first came out, but don't remember it at all. This song goes through a lot of shifting styles and moods and I like it, especially as the closer here. I like the generous use of what sounds like Hammond organ and the great melodies throughout. Overall the first and last 2 songs of this EP are great, but the whole middle section just doesn't really do it for me musically.
Song Score - 7.7/10
I really like the way you tied your story in with the whole wolf theme throughout this. I can totally see where you are coming from in the story. The feeling of being stuck in a job and even though you are good at it and enjoy it to an extent, you wonder if this is what you are supposed to be doing, if there's more out there. Am I doing the right thing? Am I missing out? Should I make a change in my life? If so, what do I change? Where do I go from here? These are questions I've asked myself at times in my life. And then the whole part about looking back and realising the mistakes you've made and wondering what you could have done differently, I can relate to that so well. I think we all at one time or another wish we could go back and redo something in our lives. The She-Wolf and Follow the Wolf part is definitely relatable too. I can see my wife in some of the lyrics to those songs as well. Then closing out the story with Hounds is kind of brilliant, giving some closure, yet at the same time leaves so many questions in life....
Story Score - 9.5/10 +1 for bonus theme
For the most part I like the way this flows. I like the way you transitioned between Mastodon and Blaze on the beat. Also the acoustic guitar outro of Saxon to the electric guitar intro of Tribulation sounds similar and makes for a decent transition. But it's the last 3 songs that all flow together almost perfectly. The rest is all serviceable.

First Impression - OMG...
So starting off with Shopping Cart (I guess we are getting a meme story ;) ), never heard of this band, never heard this song before. Perfect! What a way to set the tone of the album. It's really just an intro to the EP as a whole. Silly song.... Followed by something completely different, Returning to the Source. I've always been a fan of Persefone. Although the album this song is from is not my favorite, that would be either Aathma or Core. The biggest issue I have with this album is the herky jerky rhythms in most of the songs, they just don't appeal to me nearly as much as their other albums. I don't really know how to describe it. This song definitely has its moments of greatness, but sometimes it gets in its own way. Next we come to a song from an album I haven't thought about in a long time, even though I used to listen to this album a ton when it came out, Undecided. The problem is this album has not aged well for me at all. There are lots of issues that I tended to overlook when I was younger and my musical palette was much smaller. I had just gotten into Dream Theater in 2003 and wanted to take in any and everything even semi-related to the band, so of course this album made it into my rotation heavily. These days I have acquired so much music and in way more genres and styles than back then, this is one of the casualties of my changing standards. The sound is really brickwalled, the riffs are a little pedestrian, Mangini's drumming is weirdly unimaginative, the bass is buried in the mix, and it sounds dated to me these days. The one redeeming thing here is James sounds pretty good. Next is Controllable by VOLA. I had not heard this song before, because its from an old EP that I've never listened to before. I really enjoyed VOLA's first album a lot and this is a fair bit different. This sounds more like a band trying to find their sound. Not that it doesn't have some cool stuff going on, like the cool little keyboard parts and the occasionally quirky vocal bits. However this is missing a lot of the uniqueness that the band would go on to explore on their debut album. Good, but not great. Up next is A Moment of Clarity and now we are talking! This is from one of the very few albums that I overlook the poor production because the music contained within is just so good! Does the production suck? Yes. Does Richard Christy sometimes go overboard on the drums? Yes. Is the music sometimes too technical for its own good? Yes. However Chuck Schuldiner was a musical genius and this song and by extension the whole album is a tour de force of musical extremes. It's too bad that Chuck passed away at such a young age from pneumonia which was the result of his cancer treatment. I often wonder if Mike Portnoy would have ever ended up working with Chuck at some point had he not died. Anyway I digress, this song is amazing! And lastly we come to the "hidden track" Shopping Cart Chorale. Between the opening track and this one I definitely got a good laugh out of this EP.
Song Score - 7.5/10
So I'm aware of the Shopping Cart thread here. I believe I even participated in it a little. I can't remember if someone ultimately got the thread locked, but it was amusing back in the day. I like that you took this route for your personal story. I got a good laugh every time I listened to it. Especially with the personal tragedy I recently suffered it was a welcome reprieve from the more heavy personal story EP's I got this round. The song choices worked well for the story, even if they were a little cryptic at times. I even like how you did the little interlude sound of someone pushing a shopping cart in between Controllable and A Moment of Clarity. And even going so far as to putting a hidden track at the end and then a voice saying "Not gonna do it" at the end. Well played sir!
Story Score - 9/10 +1 for bonus theme
Now I know we've gone back and forth on this whole flow thing and I think it's the one thing that has pissed most of you off in this roulette the most. I'm just gonna start out here by saying it's an almost intangible thing, ineffable, if you will. Sometimes it's hard to describe why one thing works for me and another doesn't. Having said all that, I think this might be your best one yet. I can tell you are learning Audacity more, you even reached out to me a couple times on how to do certain things with the program. So your willingness to try to appeal to my sense of how an album should flow shows effort at the very least. The crossfade between Returning to the Source and Undecided was well timed. Then hitting Controllable on the beat was inspired, if not perfect because of the drastic change in production and abrupt key change.

Geoff Hughes - Happy Birthday Kid
Mr. Mister - Broken Wings
Bonnie Tyler - Holding Out for a Hero
Triumph - Magic Power
Arthemis - Alone (Acoustic Version)
Red Dawn - Flyin' High
Damnation's Day - Begin Again
First Impression - I see what you did there :neverusethis:
Best song of the round - Magic Power
Starting with Happy Birthday Kid, this is a bit of a quirky song. I have never heard this song before. Or if I have, I didn't realize it. In fact I've never heard of Geoff Hughes either. Glenn Hughes sure, but not this guy. Anyway, I digress. This isn't exactly might jam when it comes to music. It isn't a bad song, but not something I would purposely put on. I get why it's here, but we will get to that in the story section. Next is a song that I've always liked and one of those songs that brings me back to my childhood. This is one of those songs that would come onto the radio when I was driving around with my mom. It has a nice atmospheric quality to it, along with a great buildup. There's also some great drumming (what little of it there is) here by......Pat Mastelotto? Huh, I had no idea he was the drummer on this song or was even in this band. I, of course, know him from King Crimson....weird. Anyway, I love this song, unashamedly so. Great pick, not only musically, but to also scratch that nostalgia itch. Next is another childhood song memory, Holding Out for a Hero. This song is definitely of its time, very '80s sounding, but no less enjoyable. But wait why is it fading out so soon......Oh I see what you did there.........Oh wait, what's this? Another band doing the same song. You clever bastard! That was cool. We'll circle back to this in the story section as well. Now moving on to Magic Power. I absolutely love Triumph and I absolutely love this song. However that wasn't always the case. When I was a kid, my dad loved Triumph more than Rush and back then I was a Rush or nothing music listener, so I didn't want to listen to a Rush-sound-a-like. I came to my senses later in life. This particular song was also a grower. Even after I gave Triumph a proper chance this song didn't immediately click with me. Years later it came on randomly one day and it all just fell into place. I kind of place this on the same pedestal as The Spirit of Radio. It's a reminder to me of the importance of music in my life (yours as well, but once again, we will come back to this in the story section). Anyway this is one of those perfect 10 songs. Not much else to say about it. Although I can't help but wonder if The Spirit of Radio would have made it onto this EP if I hadn't banned Rush. No matter. Next we get into another song I hadn't heard before, Alone. Arthemis isn't a band I've ever listened to before. I'm going to have to listen to the original version of this song at some point, but this acoustic version is pretty nice. Although the muted drums in the background are more distracting and annoying that beneficial to the song. They should have just stuck to the sporadic floor tom hits to add to the atmosphere of the song. Would have made the song feel more powerful. Don't get me wrong, I do like this a fair amount, but it could have been better. The vocals also stand out here. We come to another song I've never heard, although now that I think about it, my dad may have had this album in his collection when I was a kid. I'll have to ask him. The album cover looks familiar. Flyin' High is a pure early '90s hard rock song, not dissimilar to something by Hardline. The vocalist also sounds familiar, but I can't place him. Anyway, this song sounds so triumphant and upbeat, I even like the somewhat cheesy keyboard flourishes sprinkled throughout. The song does get a tad repetitive, but eh... Lastly we have Begin Again. I could have sworn someone sent Damnation's Day to me in one of my roulettes, but I couldn't find it. I thought it was you, but perhaps not. Anyway, this song is great. Well sung, great lead guitar tone and solos, and it doesn't overstay its welcome. Fantastic! Overall a good showing of music.
Song Score - 8.5/10 +1 for best song of the round
So this story, or an autobiography told in music, if you will, is well told through not only the lyrics, but the way this was edited and the music contained within. You talked about why you chose Happy Birthday kid in the PM you sent me and I get it. It works for the story. I also like the way you used Broken Wings and interpreted the lyrics to fit your story. I can see them working either way. Perhaps the coolest thing you did story-wise was throwing the opening line of Black Dog in the middle of Holding Out for a Hero, but more than that transitioning the song from the original Bonnie Tyler version to the metal cover version. Thematically this was the coolest storytelling device used in this whole round, in my opinion. It works beautifully by representing the wide world that was introduced to you so long ago and that change from a casual radio listener to a lover of music. I had a similar revelation the first time I heard Tom Sawyer, then some lesser revelations later in life the first time I heard Fight Fire with Fire by Metallica and then The Glass Prison. It's those certain songs that make you want to explore deeper into all kinds of music. I love following that up with Magic Power as the pure joy of discovering and listening to music. Then there's the downward spiral of Alone and Flyin High and then the climb back out of being a teenage shit with Begin Again. I appreciate the story and the way it was told.
Story Score - 10/10 +1 for bonus theme
So the flow here isn't perfect, but nor is it bad. These songs all stand alone as their own entities, telling snippets of the story. Although there are flashes of brilliance, like in the aforementioned transitions within Holding Out for a Hero. Also the way the songs slowly change in style to show your musical growth and discovery helps keep things flowing well enough. Nothing stood out as being out of place either.
Flow Score - 8/10

First of all, let me say thank you to everyone for being patient with me while I was dealing with personal matters. I'll tell you, this has been one of the hardest months of my life. Dealing with my own feelings, seeing the absolute anguish of the 2 families that lost someone, managing the fallout, etc etc. Things are still slowly getting better and I feel like I'm in the right headspace to continue this now. So thanks again to all of you. :hug:
While things may well never quite feel normal again, I'm really glad to hear you're feeling well enough again to be able to participate in things you enjoy. Hope the upward trend continues!
Looking forward to the rest of this roulette. Just finished making some tweaks to my concept album a couple of days ago!

6. Spanish Love Songs - Brave Faces, Everyone

First Impression - This ends perfectly, but the rest....
This starts off with Be Calm by fun. I've listened to fun. in the past, without much success. My wife likes them, I have several friends that likes them, but they just never clicked with me. There's a lot of bits in here that remind me a bit of Kiss Kiss (the quirkiness, the use of lots of different instruments, the almost progressive slant), but it's just not on the same level of Kiss Kiss. It wouldn't surprise me if fun. was influenced by Kiss Kiss though. They are from the same general area after all. Anyway, I don't hate the song, it just doesn't grab me in any meaningful way. Glass Beach kind of follows a similar sound although much much better and closer to the quality of Kiss Kiss. In fact you sent this to me in my last roulette, so my thoughts on the song haven't changed much. It has that quirky, angular sound that I like in more avant-garde leaning music. The music is varied and interesting without ever delving into Cardiacs circus ridiculousness. Next is a song from La Dispute. A band I've been meaning to check out for a long time. This particular song, King Park, has a similar sound to bands like Cursive or Glassjaw. The problem here is the song doesn't really capture my interest. Even after multiple listens, I just don't know, it's ehhh.... Cursive does this style better, even Glassjaw's older material does this sound better. Nothing here makes me want to go give the album a listen. On the other hand the loud/quiet dynamic is done fairly well and the ending is quite emotionally driven and hard hitting. It's just everything else that doesn't work for me. After this we get a pair of Actor | Observer songs, Dilettante and Pareidolia. Really it's the closing tracks on its respective album. This is an album that I really like, but haven't listened to in a while. Glad to hear this again. It hits hard, the vocals are filled with passion, and man do these guys know how to write a good melodic hook. I mean Dilettante's chorus is just so catchy, it gets stuck in my head for long after I listen to it. And Pareidolia is a slow burn into a massive explosion filled with emotion. The quieter parts are filled with a dream-like atmosphere that I find comparable to some of BtBaM's quieter parts on their Alaska album, which I love. Both tracks are just great great stuff! Next we have Brave Faces, Everyone by Spanish Love Songs. This is a band I've seen thrown about in roulettes for a while now, but never actually gave them a spin until now. This song leans much more heavily into that midwest emo sound. I'm not sure I'm completely convinced by the vocals here, but the melodies and instrumentation are both quite captivating. I'm not really sure what to compare this to, except maybe a touch of old school Jimmy Eat World, like Static Prevails and Clarity era. Although that isn't really a 100% accurate comparison. Anyway, I enjoy this song and will need to check out the album. Wrapping things up is Comforting Sounds. I'm not sure anything needs to be said for this song that hasn't already been said by many people over the years. This song is nearly perfect. Mew is quite the unique sounding band, not really sounding like anyone else and this song encapsulates that uniqueness. The slow build, the dreamy vocals, the heartfelt lyrics, the achingly beautiful melodies, the sense of ethereal infinity that is evoked where you just never want the song to end....I could go on and on. A perfect ending the the EP.
Song Score - 8/10
I like how you stuck with songs that you could pull a piece of yourself out in the lyrics and then weaved them into a semi-concept semi-autobiographical EP, with leanings into philosophical moments of clarity throughout your life, all leading to optimism. Even in the wake of life trying to drag you down via anxieties, stress, prejudices, world events, feelings of not being good enough, lost loved ones, and just the passing of time. I won't share too much of what you sent me, I'll leave that up to you to share with the rest of the class, but I do see a lot of myself in what you wrote, at least insofar as life trying to drag us all down with everything going on and feelings of inadequacy. I like how you ended it with the acknowledgement of all of us being imperfect and just doing our best (some more so than others), even though some people just like to drag others down with them. But there is that note of optimism that maybe things can and will be better.

Flow is usually never a problem in your EP's and concept albums. The only real issue I had was the discrepancy of production quality/styles going from Glass Beach to La Dispute and then the transition into Actor | Observer felt a little hamfisted. Other than that the rest worked really well. Also the overall consistency of styles was nice.

i'll take it :lol
i haven't worked on my concept album at all over the past month or so, so
uhhh it'll exist at some point. that's all. i'm very busy rn lol

Chris, I'm happy to see that you are ready to resume the roulette. Not for the roulette's sake, but just that you feel well enough to go on with it. We are really in no rush.
I'm glad you enjoyed the spirit of my EP. I really struggled with a concept, as I really didn't want to revisit any rough points in my life. I figured that'd be cliche, so once I was able to find enough songs to loosely support my concept, I went with it. I knew that my real challenge was the songs, and I just threw caution to the wind, and tried to add a couple of effects. I'm glad you liked and got a kick out of those.
I was actually planning on sending you my Concept Album after work the morning I read your post about the hiatus. I'll re-up the tracks to We Transfer probably tomorrow and send it along.
Glad to have you back, man. Shitty score and all.. :lol
Just kidding. :)

One more result for tonight. This was probably the hardest one for me to get through...
Kingshmegland - The Words You Never Want to Hear
(https://i.imgur.com/VjTHrrs.png)
Thrice - All That's Left
Cave In - Anchor
Silverchair - The Greatest View
Dilemma - The Inner Darkness
Rise Twain - Prayers
Spock's Beard - Disappear
King's X - Life Going By
First Impression - I swear those aren't tears, I just have something in my eye...
Starting off with an old Thrice song :metal All That's Left is a good short rocker. A fairly straightforward melodic Post-Hardcore track with some great hooks and a good chorus. I'm a pretty big Thrice fan, but also a fairly recent convert. I never really got into them until they were sent in my first roulette back in 2018. Anyway off to a good start. Next we get another band that I'm kind of familiar with, Cave In, but mostly their stuff since White Silence. This song is fresh to me. This is quite a bit different than the stuff of theirs I'm familiar with. This has a more Post-rock/Space rock/Hardcore mish mash.....Post-Space-Core if you will... :D I quite like it. EP still going strong musically. Next is The Greatest View by Silverchair. This is a band I know from my highschool years and I'm sure I heard this song before. It sounds very familiar, but I just don't recall when or where I heard it. This song is kind of surprising and it opened up more and more as I listened to it multiple times. It has a mix of Alternative/PostGrunge style with Symphonic Prog, if that makes sense. The chorus sounds like something right out of a Big Big Train song. Great song! Now onto the epic of the EP, The Inner Darkness. We'll get into the lyrics in the story section, because I have a bit to say about them, so let's focus on the music here. This band, Dilemma, is new to me. They sort of sound like if Porcupine Tree, Galahad, and Sylvan had a weird 3 way love child. That's about the best way I can describe it. The way this song builds on itself and becomes more bombastic over the first 6 minutes is really quite captivating. The Vocals have a very Neal Morse-like quality to them. All good there. Then there's that whole middle section that is really great. Speaking of, the change ups throughout the song are interesting and feel like natural progressions in the song. Guess I'm gonna have to pick up this album. Next we have Rise Twain with Prayers. I remember seeing this band name thrown around a few years ago when their album came out and immediately dismissed them because their name was too close to Shania Twain :rollin Anyway, this is a nice somber song. It has a nice acoustic artsy prog rock feel. Reminds me a bit of a mix of Alpha Rev and Pineapple Thief, especially some of the vocal inflections and melodies. It isn't the greatest song I've ever heard, but it's definitely a pleasant listen. Then we get to Disappear, a song I am fairly familiar with by Spock's Beard. I will say I didn't really care for this album, even though I'm a fan of Ted Leonard. I mean, I really liked Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep. However, hearing this song in the context of this EP, I think you may have changed my mind on this song. This is a lot better than I remembered. Sounds just like classic Spock's Beard. Anyway, the EP ends with Life Going By. So a quick rundown of my experience with King's X. I got introduced to them with their album Ogre Tones and quite enjoyed it. So I went back to their first album and started slowly buying and listening to their discography in chronological order. For whatever reason I only made it up to Dogman and stopped. I probably got distracted by some other band. So long story short (too late), I never listened to the album this song is from and boy do I wish I had. This song just feels like a classic King's X song right from the outset. The music here just feels like perfect nostalgia all the way through and is just a beautiful way to end this EP.
Song Score - 8.3/10
So the story here is beautiful. Inspiring. Triumphant. Just to go on a quick tangent here (since I don't want to make this about me), cancer has affected my life, as it has so many others. I lost my paternal grandfather to it 9 years ago. My maternal grandfather fought through it about 15 years ago. My aunt is fighting breast cancer. You get the idea. What I'm trying to say is, I may not know exactly what you went through, but I can sympathize and have a pretty good idea of what your wife went through. Anyway, just to read what you wrote in the PM you sent me and then listen to this and read along with the lyrics it just overwhelmed me with emotion. I can't even imagine how scary the whole situation was, but man am I glad you made it through. And to have your wife stick by you through the worst of times speaks a lot to her character and the type of person she is....You are a lucky man. So many people would just bail at that point. Now I wanted to focus in on The Inner Darkness. This track fit so well for the story. Especially with lines like "remember the future we wanted to hold, a slippery thief nearly took it away, who would have thought, the last time we talked, we’d be standing right here today." That one hit me pretty hard. Something like cancer can just up and take away your entire future. And then you are amazed that you are still standing in the aftermath. Then the lyrics to Life Going By is a beautiful way to end the story.
Story Score - 10/10 +1 for bonus theme
So the flow here is pretty good. It helps that, even though you have Post-hardcore, Alternative Rock, Neo-Prog, and Symphonic Prog, it all seems to blend quite nicely. Cave In works like a merger of the styles found in both Thrice and Silver Chair. Then Silverchair incorporates some symphonic prog touches to bridge the gap to the next 3 songs quite nicely. Then King's X works well coming off of Spock's Beard. The only nits I have to pick are the way song of the songs transition. Namely going from All That's Left to Anchor and then to The Greatest View didn't really work so well, but the rest of the tracks all transition very nicely.

Thank you. I was 2 years of hell for my family and myself. So much unknown. It was tough for me even to write it out. I figured you'd dig the Dilemma album.
I'm so glad you are posting again Puppies.

Yours is up next. Got a phone call earlier from a mutual friend of the friends that died last month. Long call with lots of crying, reminiscing, stories, and just talking through stuff. Needless to say I didn't get much done on the writeups today between that and work, but at least yours should be up tonight :)

Ariich - Void IV: Lessons In Despair
(https://i.imgur.com/b9OQjZi.png)
A.A. Williams - Wait
Enshine - In Our Mind
Leprous - Nighttime Disguise
The Ember, The Ash - Consciousness Torn from the Void
Antimatter - What Do You Want Me to Do?
A.A. Williams - I’m Fine
First Impression - I see a ton of parallels to my own life in this story. It's almost eerie.
I like the way this starts with the song Wait. A moody and somber acoustic intro really sets the tone for the rest of the EP. I like the way this builds in intensity as it goes on. It also builds a sense of uncomfortable tension, but in the best possible way, if that makes sense. It never really gets overly bombastic, but then again, it doesn't need to. Just a great atmospheric opener. This leads nicely into In Our MInd. This song is a lot more immediate, but again keeps the somber atmosphere. Knowing Enshine a bit, I was worried how this would work following up Wait, but it's pretty much perfectly placed on the EP. This is one of those bands that has a very distinctive sound. With a mix of Atmospheric Death Metal and spacey doom metal they are easy to thoroughly enjoy. Then that guitar solo is just......sublime. Emotive and beautiful and sad all at the same time and an incredible way to end the song. Next is another band I am quite familiar with, Leprous with the song Nighttime Disguise. I just really like the way Leprous approaches songwriting. For a prog metal band they sure know how to let the music breathe and let everything feel important to the song without delving into technical wankery that could detract from the song. Then there's Einar's vocals, which have improved vastly with every album they've released and here they are in top form. The band has also pivoted on styles over the years, which I can appreciate, especially since I like all their albums quite a bit and this song and by extension the album feels like the segue into a new era for the band. Anyway, next up is Consciousness Torn from the Void. So this is an album that I have, but never got around to listening to. Guess I'll need to remedy that now, since this is basically straight up Puppies-core. Atmospheric Black Metal with a slight DSBM slant. I'll take that everyday. Kind of reminds me of a cross between Abigail Williams and Austere. I really like the way the tail end of the song brings the piano more to the forefront and then give way to choir vocals to end it. Also the bass is actually audible throughout this song and not only that you can actually make out what is being played....amazing! What Do You Want Me to Do? is next. This isn't nearly as exciting as the other Antimatter song you sent in the first? round, but it is effective in maintaining the mood of the EP. Not much else to really say about this song. Except there is a nice flute part! So we began with A.A. Williams, so we will finish with A.A. Williams. This song, I'm Fine, is once again somber and has that almost uncomfortable atmosphere. I mean the song almost hurts to listen to, and maybe that's just my state of mind lately after what happened in my life, but I love it! Go figure. I'm not sure if I wanted something more climactic to end this EP or not. The somberness (is that a word?) of the whole thing makes me feel like this is how it was supposed to end so, eh...
Song Score - 8.4/10
As far as the story goes, I had a tough time coming up with thoughts for this. It all hits a little too close to home for me. There are so many parallels to not only experiences in our lives, but also the way we approach things with other people. I was bullied when I was a kid, mostly in middle school. I also have a couple of bouts of unrequited love in my late teens and early twenties, one of which threw me for a complete loop, especially when she decided she wanted to be with me only after I started dated my now wife. That's a whole other long story.... Anyway, I also tend to approach situations like you do, wanting to fix everything for everyone around me and not understanding when people don't want to listen, because clearly my way is right (note: I'm only referring to myself here with that last bit :P ). Then realizing you can't fix everyone especially when they don't want to be fixed, so I just stopped. I was still a friend to people that needed it, but I stopped soliciting constant advice, instead just giving a listening ear. Then getting into dealing with a friends depression. I'm pretty sure I've told this story around here before, but I lost a dear friend who had severe depression when he took his own life about 7 years ago. This totally destroyed me for awhile because then I started second guessing myself, wondering if I had been more attentive, more forceful with my help, perhaps things would have turned out differently, perhaps he would still be here today... I mean we all knew he was battling depression and he was getting professional help, but could I have done more... So I can totally see where you are coming from throughout this whole story. Anyway this rant has probably gone on long enough. Long story short, I love the way this story is told and the lyrics behind it all and even the music, it all comes together perfectly, in my opinion. Plus it all feels like familiar ground to me, so I can relate very easily to it. Thanks for sharing and thanks for reading my rambling nonsense :D
Story Score - 10/10 +1 for bonus theme
You never seem to have a problem with flow ;) and this EP is no exception. The way Wait and In Our Mind merge together is perfect and I like the way Leprous drops right in on top of Enshine. Going from Consciousness to Antimatter was great and then the transition to I'm Fine was brilliant. The only transition I thought could have perhaps been better was between Leprous and The Ember, The Ash. It wasn't bad by any means, but....I don't know, it just doesn't sound as polished as the rest. Perhaps I'm just looking for things to nitpick :neverusethis:

Not rambling nonsense at all, thank you for sharing as well. I hadn't intended to bring back any difficult memories of your own (and was unaware of the parallels), and especially in the circumstances I hope it was a little more cathartic than it was painful.
And yeah don't worry, I can definitely relate to the "my way is right" feeling. Like, even though rationally I know our minds all work in different ways and it's not a case of being right or wrong, emotionally when you're actually in a situation like that it becomes difficult to fully relate to such a fundamentally different way of seeing the world. That's still the thing I struggle with and keep trying to work on.

Flow Score - 9.5/10
All completely fair and that doesn't feel nitpicky. Some songs naturally lend themselves to a good transition, others require work and sometimes I can't get them perfect. The first 2 transitions on this EP were relatively easy as the key and overall sound were complementary, it was just a case of timings and fading out at the right moment. The rest all needed some careful audio editing. The final 2 I think I nailed, but that one in the middle there was only so much I could do with.
As for the music, can't comment on everything but I'm glad you liked it all! To be clear, this version of Consciousness Torn From the Void doesn't come from the album of the same name, it actually comes from the follow-up album Fixation. The two versions are very similar, but I think the production is stronger in this version and it gives the song more emotional weight and intensity. Not sure what you'll think of the rest of the album as it also has some deathcore influences mixed in with the black metal, but I prefer it to the first one (I'd suggest giving both a listen!).
Oh and you're spot on about the uncomfortable tension in A.A. Williams' music. It's beautiful but despite being fairly simple, it's not what you'd call easy listening. And yeah, not ending on the climax but having 2 short sombre songs at the end wasn't the obvious way to finish the EP, but it was a conscious choice as it felt right for the flow and the narrative.
Anyway, onto the concept album to bring everything together! It's all ready to go, I just need to write the accompanying PM so it should be with you today.

Whoa! Nice one ariich! I hope I do anywhere near as well as that.

Well that was a fun roulette.

yeah my concept album is probably gonna suck and blow so i imagine ariich has this in the bag

I've realised that I never posted the links to my EP. I wasn't sure if I wanted to at first as it's fairly personal, but in light of what everyone's been sharing, and the fact that I only included things I was comfortable sharing with Pup anyway, it feels right to post it.
Void IV: Lessons in Despair
- The single mp3 file (https://mega.nz/file/NOgTXQLY#CaKxW_tsrh9-q2YVxlHKBAHdSxvhT89jEQuHyu9C3rI)
- Google doc with story and full lyrics (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1e250pkPqV_Hh5D4BGz_mpD5N_A6iIFLT44HP80m7vTg/edit?usp=sharing)
And here are some excerpts from my PM to Chris which includes some explanation of this EP and also the other Void EPs.
Here we are with part 4. But first, an explainer of the series (so far...).
As you know, the void in each part has been something different - there was a black hole, the emptiness of space, and then a dimension between realities. As I imagine you've picked up, in each case, a part of the narrative has been about things not being as they seem - the black hole really being a simulation, Pioneer not realising its real mission, and the various levels of illusions in part 3.
The other thing that you may have picked up on, if I wasn't being too subtle, is that each void represents a different type of mental or emotional difficulty. In part 1 it was guilt, part 2 obsession, and in part 3 it was distrust/paranoia. In each case, it was this problem that was largely responsible for the detachment from reality.
In part 4, there is no metaphor this time - the void is anxiety and depression, and how they can distort reality for the people experiencing them.
-----
This is a very personal story about how my interactions with two people I'm very close to have over time completely changed my understanding of mental health (and by extension, how I see and treat people in general). For reasons I'm sure you'll understand, I haven't included all the details in my explanations of the story, but I've covered what I'm comfortable sharing. And you can get a good picture of additional detail from the lyrics to these songs, which more than any of the other EPs very directly and accurately describe what was going on.

Pfft... you and Parama have such a lead, ain't no one catching either of you. I'm just thrilled that my scores have been improving every round. Twice in a row I gave the best song of the round. Suck it!
Chris... I must say I'm incredibly (and pleasantly) surprised at that score. I was also quite pleased with the Holding out for a Hero/Black Dog segment I put together. Tip of the hat to Cheffy-Poo for making a suggested change to what I originally had.
Tim... legendary.
I've got my concept done (had it done before the hiatus), just need to finish writing the conclusion of the story. I'm really not sure you want to read/hear it though. I should be able to send/PM over the weekend.

I've gotta say I'm certainly glad you decided to join this roulette after having sat out my last one. Your submissions have definitely been enjoyable.
So, there isn't a huge rush on the final round submissions. I hope to have them all in before October 10th. I am going on vacation starting the 11th and would like to have everything ready to go, since I won't have access to my computer until I get back. I should be able to get a lot of listening in while I'm out of town, but I can't promise any submissions until I get back, which isn't until October 28th. I realize this is another month wait for final results, which is my fault for going on hiatus, because I originally planned on having this finished before I left on vacation.
I'll have the rest of the results by Friday, so that should give plenty of time for anyone who is waiting for results before starting their concept albums.

Jesus. I haven’t even started, been bogged down in gig land recently.
What are the rules for the album again?

And we all qualify for this round, right? I’m still third from the bottom (counting active participants) and I know some roulettes are only the top few people. It does state you may make elminations and I’m pretty sure that means I’ll be defeated.

This is not in my interest at all, but now that I've noticed it, my belief in honesty and fairness compels me to say that I think you've made a couple of errors in calculating Cyril's scores, meaning he should have been 0.8 points further ahead of me after round 3 and will therefore be 0.8 points closer to me after round 4. This assumes the results posts were correct of course.
The two issues are:
- Round 2: seems you only added 1 of the bonus points and not the other. I make it that his round score should have been an even-more-incredible 30.8 rather than 29.8.
- Round 3: in the results post you awarded him 26.2, but in the aggregated scores you've included it as 26.4.
So the net effect of these is that his total score after round 3 should have been 0.8 higher at 84.7 rather than 83.9.
(EDIT: For completeness, my scores seem to be completely correct)

Chris... I'm glad I decided to play as well. Though you might change your mind after this weekend. You're gonna have a crap-ton of music to listen to - especially if it's not only me making use of the 2 hour limit. :biggrin: End of October is entirely reasonable. You'll probably still finish before Deadeye :neverusethis:

2 hours is definitely too much IMO, but I appreciate Pup giving us the flexibility. Mine is coming in around 80 minutes.

Now how could I ever ignore you?? ;D
I definitely missed it!

1. The Dear Hunter - The Bitter Suite III: Embrace
2. Overhaul - The Dance
3. Bent Knee - Being Human
4. Leprous - Stuck
5. Cursive - Some Red-Handed Sleight of Hand
6. Cursive - Art is Hard
7. Pain of Salvation - Wait
8. Overhaul - Detour
First Impression - I'm actually enjoying the vocals on this quite a bit more than the music.
Starting things off with a song you know I like....I like your strategy! This is one of those songs that covers quite a bit of ground in a relatively short time. If a 7 minute song could be considered short.... I think one thing can be said about TDH it is blatantly obvious how much better the guitar tones got on their later albums versus the first couple. Not that this is bad, but I just like the tone better these days. Anyway, not much else to say about this one. Just a good all around song with some good rises and falls and a great mellow section in the back half with some nice bass playing to close out the song. Next we come to one of your songs, The Dance. So never having heard your bands music before, I will say I was pretty impressed. This is some professional sounding music with some good playing and enjoyable vocals. I really like both the heavy and clean guitar tones you have here, much better than that Casey Crescenzo guy, who does he think he is anyway :neverusethis: but seriously I do like the choice of tone here. To touch on the vocals a bit more, for the most part I really like them, however I'm not a fan of the vocal effects used in one section towards the end. Just a personal opinion. The rest of the song is good, but perhaps a tad too simplistic. These are just minor nitpicks though. Moving on the Being Human. It's been a long while since I listened to this album and specifically this song. What a beast of a song this is though and Courtney Swain is a hell of a vocalist. Her ability to go from ethereal softer parts to powerful intensity to beautiful falsettos. Then there's the music, there is just so much going on with it. It's chaotic but orderly, intense but beautiful. Let's see, how many other superlatives can I use here.....Anyway, just a fantastic song. Next is Stuck by Leprous. Yay, more Leprous this round! And one of my favorites from Malina! I could pretty much copy paste everything I wrote in Ariich's writeup about the Leprous song he sent. Really it's Einar that stands out here and Baard. Baard's drumming is always very in the pocket, but also inventive. I really appreciate that as a drummer myself. The whole composition of the song is great too. As a side note, I have no idea why Malina is so polarizing among Leprous fans. I think it's a really good album. The haters are just wrong :D Next we get a pair of Cursive songs Some Red-Handed Sleight of Hand and Art is Hard. Both from The Ugly Organ, which might be my favorite Cursive album, although Domestica is really really close. Red Handed has some really top notch cello playing and Art has a really great groove and some interesting melodies. Not to mention some great varied vocal styles. It all comes together almost sounding jovial and happy, even though it really isn't. Next is Wait from the band's newest album. And it's one of the songs that really harkens back to PoS peak years, but with a bit more of a modern flair, with some cool ambient sections. Then there's the ever present great vocals of Daniel. I find myself liking this song more and more each time I hear it. Then we wrap this EP up with another of your bands songs, Detour. So, remember those nitpicks I had about your other song? Those are all gone here. I like this song much better. Everything here just sounds so much better. There's also a bit of an uncomfortable atmosphere sprinkled throughout the song which works really well with the music and vocals. This song also works really well as the closer too.
Song Score - 8.4/10
First off I want to say thank you for sharing your story with me. Like Ariich and basically everyone else, this was quite personal. I won't go into too many details in case you don't want to share all of this with the class, but I will say that I think most of us have gone through at least 1 or 2 of the things you mention in the story. Especially the whole how do I make a relationship work. I've often asked myself why my wife stuck with me and married me. I was definitely well outside my league when I started dating her (truth be told, I still am), but she is my everything and whenever we have an argument or an issue I feel like this is my failing (because in reality it is), and then I wonder why she still sticks by my side. It's all insecurities if we are being honest with ourselves. I've always believed that if there is love in the relationship and both are willing to work through issues instead of just throwing in the towel you can always come out better and stronger in the end. Then the struggles making music speaks to me on a lot of levels. I've played and jammed with many people over the years. Played some gigs. Met lots of cool people. However, I've never had the opportunity to write and record any music. It's cool that you have been able to do that and I sincerely hope you find some measure of success in that. All told, I think this EP tells the story of you quite effectively.
Story Score 9.5/10 +1 for bonus theme
The flow score is gonna hurt a little bit. If I remember correctly you didn't have a ton of time to work on editing this. There are a few rough transitions (weirdly there is also a missing beat in between the 2 Cursive songs that catches my ear every time), but there are also a few really good transitions (going from Wait to Detour on the drum beat was neat). Overall I think that aspect could have been improved. I also think the various genres weren't mixed as well as they could have been, they feel a little disjointed, but this could be considered subjective (or objective if you are WildRanger ;) )
Flow Score - 7.5/10
Total Score - 26.4/30

Since sharing is caring, and most of you already did, here's my Teenage Wasteland.
While I'm having my final listen, I thought I'd send you the story. Every word is 100% true.
I had what I thought was a fairly normal childhood. Parents were both teachers, mom a supply, so she barely worked 50% of the time (ie, on a fairly regular basis, I had a parent at home at least 50% of the time). Older brother (4 years), house in the suburbs, one dog, neighbourhood friends, did pretty well in school, was in to D&D and video games, played soccer and baseball in the summer / hockey in the winter yada yada yada - a fairly ordinary and unremarkable Canadian childhood. In my latter years of elementary school, I had a core group of 3 other friends … the four of us did everything together - especially road hockey. So much 2-on-2 ball. Unremarkable when I look back on it, but in the moment I was quite happy. After graduating elementary school, my parents (again, both teachers) had the grand idea that the high school in our feeder zone didn't quite have the reputation they wanted, so pulled a few strings to get me into a "better" high-school. I was quite literally the only person in my Grade 8 graduating class that went to that high-school. Nice, huh? 13 going on 14 (my b-day is in November), and pulled away from everyone I know, including my three BEST friends, and dropped into a school where I (again, literally) know nobody.
Oh, and then they tell my brother and I that they are splitting up.
It was November 23, 1985, the weekend just days after my 14th birthday. They sat my brother and I down to tell us they were separating. It was quite the shock. This kinda shit happened to other kids, not me. Quite the influential thing to happen to a pubescent teenage boy. Nice huh? … Send a 14 year old to start high school with 0 friends, then 2.5 months later, go thru a divorce.
Happy Birthday Kid.
For the next few months, I was really trying to find my place in life. It sounds so cliche, but it really was the case. I really didn't know what to do with my (albeit inconsequential) 14 year old life. No true friends and fucked up family life (relatively speaking). I wasn't passionate about anything. Music didn’t mean that much to me to begin with (more on that in a moment), and after my parents split, nothing really meant much to me. I dropped all my sports, I started sucking at school, I had little-to-no friends or interests in life in general. Everything that had made me happy in life up to that point was gone. Thinking about it in hindsight, I was breaking … or at least felt a little broken - certainly wasn't soaring or flying like I did in elementary school. I needed something that mattered to me, but had no idea what it was; no idea what I wanted. Where would I find (or discover) my "hero"?
Musically speaking, I didn't have much of a path at this point in my life. Neither of my parents were all that 'in' to music, so I just kinda wandered musically, never really finding anything that I could get truly connected to. I had to discover things myself, and ultimately ended up on pop stuff like Wham, Madonna, Culture Club, Duran Duran, Cindy Lauper etc... Sure, there were some bouts of Supertramp, Yes, Halen, but only their pop/fluffy songs that made it on to top 40 radio in the early/mid 80s.
Sometime early in '86, my brother bought a wicked cool stereo with this new CD player thing and speakers the size of a coffee table. He pumps up the volume, and the first disc he throws in starts with this odd little waa-waa-waa guitar thing, then a god-like voice takes over.
Hey hey mama said the way you move
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove
And then BAM with the music!
:omg:
:drool:
:metal
All at once.
Little did I know that music would be that "hero". Sounds corny, but looking back over the last 36 years, I'm not even being all that hyperbolic.
I'd never heard a voice or music like that before in my life. It gave me wonder, appreciation, awe, inspiration, amazement, desire, drive, determination and probably a whole host of other emotions. It breathed life into me again. Gave me a purpose. There was a certain magic and power in what I was hearing. Made me a fan of something. Nowadays, I don't do anything without music. If I'm not on a work call, music is on. I take my music player to Costco when shopping; it's on in the background right now; when doing household chores, I needs me my tunes. I used to need it to fall asleep (probably would still if not for my wife being pretty much the opposite when it comes to music - drives her nuts "take your headphones out and be part of the family!"). I immediately went on an insatiable exploration of all things rock - Classic, Hard, Glam, AOR. This was my jam until the late 90s, when I discovered Prog, and branched into more Metal. I don't have a lot of diversity ... One of my rules of life is to spend time with music I love, and don't waste time with anything else. So, I love Rock/Metal, and stick with it. And it all started with Black Dog. Ironically, that's not my favorite Zeppelin song (not even close), let alone my favorite from IV.
Now, it wasn't all shits and giggles after that. I still struggled to fit in, had no father figure to guide me, and starting in Grade 10, my mother went back to work full-time, and my brother went off to University. Which left me very much alone, and to my own devices to monitor, occupy, and motivate myself. Full transparency, I did a shit job at all three :lol. I started smoking, and just generally being a little teenage shit. On my 17th birthday, I started to experiment with drugs - nothing too hardcore, just hash/pot - enough to be routinely flying high (I remember at one point when I was 18, I was baked for 6-weeks straight … every single day). That, along with the freedom that came with having a driver's license, did avail me a group of friends to hang out with, though still very much a 'nerd' crowd. School/grades never really did improve, and by the end of high school, my grades were shit, and I didn't get into any University that I applied to. So, I decided to take a year off from school, worked full-time (night shift at McDonald's cleaning all the equipment - side note, this was a helluva fun gig*) and generally spent a shit-ton of money on dope and booze and pool. I always knew that this was not the life I wanted for myself (I'd made good friends with a guy who did this as his full-time job, and knew this was NOT going to be my life). So, after that year, I went back to high-school to begin again. I was mature enough to feel good in my own skin, befriended some younger (1-2 years) kids, and generally had a very fun semester. I ended up re-taking four courses (aced them all - 80s and 90s), and upgraded my overall average enough to get into my first University of choice.
So there you have it… my Teenage Wasteland - and I was 'wasted' for a good chunk of it :lol.
* I worked 11pm-7am with one other person - one guy cleaned all the equipment; the other did the floors, tables, windows etc … This was long before 24x7 was the norm for fast-food restaurants. The store would close at midnight, the closing manager and crew leave (they never gave a shit about us - it was a different crew pretty much every night), and the opening manager/crew didn't show up until 5:30-6am. So for about 4-5 hours (more than 1/2 our shift), it's just two of us there, cranking music all night long, and no supervisor to hassle us … really, no one hassled or "supervised" us at all. Work at your own pace … just get the job done and nobody's the wiser. Smoked a lot of dope - never did get drunk on the job though, just high. And listened to a shit-ton of music… the 'ghetto-blaster' came on at as soon as the shift started, and didn't shut off until 6:29am

Commentary
First - the motif from more than a couple of these doesn't exactly fit the motif I'm portraying in the story, but close enough. I also don't want/like to explain the song connections to the story - I'd rather the listener do that. I mean, it's not like Roger Waters outlined the story of The Wall song-by-song :lol! But there are a couple of things I wanted to comment on
Happy Birthday Kid - this song will invariably bring my song score down, but it's kinda necessary as it's the flashpoint of my teenage years. My father wasn't quite the asshole the antagonist from this song is, but he was no saint.
Broken Wings - sure, it's a love song for couples, and the Broken Wings are for the lost love. But my parents divorcing and father moving out fits the bill to some degree, and *I'm* the one with broken wings that needs to learn to fly.
Magic Power - What can I say about this song? There simply aren't enough superlatives. This is the cornerstone of my teenage years as it relates to music. Just listening to it yesterday, I still get goosebumps. It's my #5 Song of All Time, and the lyrics meant so much to me as a teenager
Are you the one and only who's sad and lonely, reachin' for the top
Well the music keeps you goin' and it's never gonna stop
<guitar goodness>
The world is full of compromise, the infinite red tape
But the music's got the magic, it's your one chance for escape
Turn me on - turn me up - it's your turn to dream
A little magic power makes it better than it seems
I'm young now, I'm wild and I'm free
I got the magic power of the music in me

Just read your write up, Jingle. Well written.
Actually, everyone’s writeups have been great. I’m looking forward to seeing the final writeups for this round.
-
Thanks for that write-up and for getting around to listen and rating all our EPs for this round. It’s good to see you back, and I hope you’re doing alright and taking care of yourself.
I will post my story/write-up here later, if there’s people interested as well as share the entire EP (I think I actually did share the EP a few page back though? Not sure. I’m away for the weekend at ProgPower Europe and I have nothing to type on but my phone here, so I’ll get back here after the weekend.
This also means I can’t send anything for the final round (yet) as it’s a) unfinished and b) on my PC (at least the songs I intend to put on it).
-
I’m away for the weekend at ProgPower Europe
Please go and see Voyager. Trust me!
-
I’ve seen Voyager, what?, 5 times in my life. They’re fun. They’re also not playing this year’s edition :)
-

Oh, I was wrong. They’re at EuroBlast this time.
-
Yeah I was slightly disappointed that PPE did not book Voyager, VOLA and Soen, even though all of them are touring Europe and even playing very close to PPE this weekend.

Sad,y, looks like the Volager tour is just about over. They’ll be coming back to WA in a week or so.

Ragdoll - Rust
Megadeth - Angry Again
Flying Colors - The Loss Inside
Tremonti - Giving Up
Foo Fighters - Walk

First Impression - This might be your best EP yet!
More Megadeth to start this off. Let me just get out of the way. Dave. Needs. To Stop. Singing. Period......Or whatever it is he is doing in this song. Other than that this song is musically pretty great with a nice buildup with acoustic guitars merging with electric guitars and a slowly building tension. This all finally explodes into a great guitar solo trade-off :metal Next is Shuddershell, by a band I never knew existed, The Mayfield Four. I always wondered what Myles Kennedy was doing before Alter Bridge, but never bothered to look into it. If there's one thing I can say about this song is this is certainly Myles Kennedy singing. Listening to this it seems he was probably highly inspired by singers like Jeff Buckley and J.R. Richards as it seems like he's trying to emulate them both in turns on this song. I'll be honest I don't think I would really go out of my way to listen to this album based on this song. It's a bit too....simple? The songwriting just isn't very compelling and it gets a bit too repetitive. Next we have one of your own songs, If I Were Good Enough. I gotta say I really like your guitar playing on the acoustic here. Nice little bits of flair sprinkled throughout the song. The vocals are also good here and to me improve as the song goes on to become even more compelling. Good job! The next song, Rust, is a weird one. I literally can't find any information on this band. At least not from the usual places I get music info, namely RYM, Prog Archives, and Metal Archives. I mean yeah I found their Bandcamp page. Anyway, I digress. This is actually a pretty cool song. Perhaps a little derivative, but it's a fairly fun ride and doesn't overstay its welcome. Oh more Megadeth next? Angry Again? Why yes I am, angry at Dave's vocals again.... OK, sorry Dave, I'll try not to pick on your voice so much. This song has that classic Megadeth guitar riffing that has a cool and catchy rhythm and groove. This song does lose the plot a bit in that little middle bridge section, but quickly redeems itself with a tasty instrumental section including some keyboards. I don't know, other than the cool groove the verses are kind of meh. Not a bad song, but not quite spectacular. Next we get Mike Portnoy band #44855 or thereabouts. Anywho, I really like the style that Flying Colors employs, slightly pop tinged vocals, with typically awesome Portnoy drumming, groovy guitar licks, and audible bass. The problem is the bass though, I've never been a big fan of Dave LaRue's style of playing. He just doesn't capture my interest at all and sounds flat bored with what he is doing. This is more of a me problem though, because what he does is all technically good, but doesn't move me in any way. Anyway, I do really like Flying Colors and this song is no exception. Next we get a song by Tremonti, Giving Up. It still amazes me that this guy got his start with Creed. Man does Creed suck, mostly because of Scott Stapp. Anyway, this does not suck. In fact most of what Tremonti has done since his Creed days ended has been pretty great (there are some exceptions, like his album A Dying Machine did nothing for me). His riffing is a big part of that. There's actually some cool Thrash-like riffing here that I really like. In fact, I would love to hear Tremonti to a full Thrash metal album. I think he would excel at that. Anyway this is a good song. Next we get Walk, which is one of my favorite Foo Fighters songs. This song just further cements the fact that Dave Grohl is a brilliant songwriter. Actually the whole album this song is from is brilliant. Enough said. Finishing up the EP is The Steeple. Halestorm is one of those bands that I heard the radio singles and immediately wrote off the band as just another crappy modern rock band to throw on the ever growing pile of modern radio rock garbage. This song doesn't exactly change my opinion too much. It's pretty straightforward with recycled riffs and melodies that every modern rock band has used since the late '90s. Lizzy Hales vocals are OK, but not that impressive. At least they are better than the other songs I've heard from Halestorm. All in all they just sound like a band that only has one goal, to get as much radio play for the music plebs as possible. This just isn't my kind of music and not why I love music and play music. To me it's not about selling out to make money and sell records, but that's a story best left for another time.
Song Score - 7.2/10
I have to say I really appreciate you (and everyone else) feeling comfortable enough to share these personal stories with me. I feel truly honored to be privy to those stories. It not only gives me more insight into you as a person, but makes for a compelling story in its own right. It is fascinating to see all sides of the human condition. I can't speak to personally having experienced them all, but you know, I've been around the block a time or two and have seen it all, whether in close friends or acquaintances. For instance I've never had to deal with anger issues. I've always been a fairly quiet guy that tries to maintain peace between everyone. I don't let things get me worked up or bother me too much. I don't say all this to try to shame you, I'm just trying to get across where I'm coming from and how I see things. In the end I'm glad you saw fit to make changes to better your life. That shows signs of someone that wants to take control of one's own feelings and life and just generally be a better person. The songs on this EP actually portray what you have gone through and where you are heading quite well. Even the songs I didn't like so much at least had meaningful lyrics. Just the lyrics on the last three songs alone paint a really clear picture. Really, all the lyrics are spot on for the story you told.
Story Score - 9.5/10 +1 for bonus theme
As far as the way this flows. It's not bad. Transitions are mostly fairly good and stylistically there isn't really anything that is out of left field. Except for maybe your song, since it's all acoustic, where the rest all sit firmly in the hard rock/thrash/heavy metal realm. But it feels more like a ballad in the middle of the album as so many other bands do, so I can't really fault that. Plus it works for the story as far as exposition. There are some issues with drastic differences in production. That plus some transitions that could have been tightened up a bit are what hold this aspect back.
Flow Score - 6.5/10
Total Score - 24.2/30

Yeah, I’m not moving up any in the rankings on that score. At least I got good marks on my story this time.
What I’m learning is the concept album will kill me.
-
right, actually made some progress on my concept album... i had the idea for this one quite a while ago but finding the songs for it has been a problem :lol
there's one song i'm absolutely stubborn on using but i can't find the lyrics for it... let's pretend it's the "overture" song and the lyrics don't matter idkkk
update: i threw it together in audacity and it's a minute and a half too long :lol goddammit. i have a way to fix this but it's not a change i wanted to make, bleh
-
right, this is as much effort as i have available to make a concept album so hopefully this is good enough :lol
edit:
I also just read through the story you concocted....this might be just the right amount of sci-fi nonsense to work brilliantly for me. :lol :metal
ariich, be afraid :hat

So if Cyril and Ariich each get 45, I have to score a 53 to win.
Mine has so much flow, you're going to need a dam!

i didn't either, then i made one
self-defeating talk like that isn't gonna make your concept album real :P

Exactly!

Yeah, but I don’t even have a concept. Let alone the songs to fit it.
:lol
Why don't you pick a few fav songs of yours and see if you can create something around the lyrics to one of them. Something might pop out and you can just go from there.
Or do a Seinfeld concept album which is about nothing. Perfect!!
-
My album has been sent.
-
My concept album has been done for a while now, but I had no concept at all, and I was worried. But then the Spotify next 5 thread happened, and I participated and one song in particular played, and then BAM, I knew I could build a concept around that and it came together in about a day. It did take me a week or so to nail the ending though.
-
i had the general idea of my concept in mind since like round 3 and had picked out two of its songs but i basically threw the rest together and wrote the story in a few hours today
i haven't listened to my album in full yet but i might at some point this week
it's unsurprisingly way too long again

Prototype - Heart Machine
First Impression - There's a lot I like musically here, but I wonder if the vocals are going to be this EPs downfall
Best EP Title +1 point
Ah the first song here, The Way It Ends, is a Guitar Hero throwback. I love this song! I did get this album back in the day because of this song. Never really explored this band any further, guess I'm going to on this EP :neverusethis: The next song here, Nothing for Me Here, I have to admit I wasn't expecting much from this song based on the band name, their genre of music they are classified as, and their band picture (LoL), but I actually really ended up liking this song more than anticipating. It's not amazing or anything, but my expectations were exceeded. There's a cool groove and decent vocals here. There's even a decent, albeit short, guitar solo here. Unexpectedly enjoyable! Next is Beautiful Mourning. I actually have this Machine Head album, but it's buried in storage somewhere and forgotten about. To be perfectly blunt I just do not like this style of vocals. It's similar to a lot of the later era Pantera albums, the "tough-guy, knuckle-dragging, neanderthal, lets-go-fight-everyone" style vocals. Doesn't appeal at all. Gotta say Robb Flynn was much better when he was just playing guitar in Vio-lence. There also isn't much redeeming in the music either. It's fairly standard fair groove metal, with tough guy vocals. A pair of Prototype songs are next and I'm glad I don't have to listen to Robb Flynn's vocals anymore, although if I'm being honest, Vince Levalois isn't exactly a powerhouse singer either, but he's better. Plus the music Prototype is infinitely more interesting. Illuminatum is a great little instrumental intro to the meat and bones of My Own Deception. This has a bit of a Fates Warning meets Thrash metal vibe to it, at least musically. There's a lot of cool little lead guitar flairs and the bass is always doing something interesting, even though it's a tad buried in the mix. Not quite "Jason Newsted and Justice For All" levels, but it could be higher in the mix. This song in particular also reminds me a bit of Nevermore, which isn't a bad thing at all. Even a bit of a Jeff Loomis styled guitar solo in the back half of the song. I also like the way the song kind of slowly eases itself down to the end. This leads into Snuff. Slipknot isn't one of those bands I ever really got into. I always thought their schtick was stupid, I mean why do you need 9 guys to play this kind of music? I mean Rush only had 3 guys and could run circles around this band in a live setting.... Anyway, I digress. I had a couple friends in high school that was all gaga over them when their first couple album were released. I just didn't get it. This song is a completely different thing from the few songs I've actually listened to by this band. It's a bit more melodic, but there just isn't anything too interesting going on with it musically. Not a bad song, but nothing special, imo. So here we come to the last song on the EP, Heart Machine. Now this is more like it! This has a really cool driving riff throughout and it's punctuated by a couple of nice guitar solos. I kind of wish it ended on a more climactic note rather than just fading out. Y'all know how much I hate fadeouts :P
Song Score - 7.3/10
I kind of want to go song by song for the story portion here as you've laid the groundwork for a basic outline of a good story here. I know this is about your life experiences and I don't want to make light of anything, but at the same time I think this could be turned into so much more. But like you said, you didn't want to get too in depth and personal and I respect that. So I'll just keep this somewhat brief. I can definitely see how The Way It Ends deals with your thoughts on religion and that fear of the unknown. Nothing for me Here was pretty self explanatory. What I really want to focus in on though is My Own Deception, which is a whole other beast. I know you said I didn't have to analyze the lyrics line by line, but I did that anyway. I'm nothing if not thorough.....or at least I try to be, especially after a couple of embarrassing swings and misses about lyrics in my past roulettes (sorry Ariich and Elite and Sacul.....and probably others I'm forgetting about) Anyway I can totally see how this song shows the pain you were in and the dark places that pain took you and that struggle to get out of the darkness. Depression is no joke and can manifest in a variety of ways and can be one of the hardest things to conquer. But then after the heartbreak of Snuff the EP ends on a bit more of a positive note with Heart Machine. Anyway I hope all is good for you now or at least getting better. In the end, there is a good outline for a story here that definitely could have been filled out a bit more, but what is there is good and goes well with the lyrics on hand.
Story Score - 8.5/10 +1 for bonus theme
I do like the way this flows and might be one of the best of the Spotify playlist EPs of the roulette so far. The only transition I had a bit of an issue with was going from Snuff to Heart Machine. Other than that the Dope song was slightly out of place due to the difference in genre. The rest all basically felt like a cohesive whole. Helps when four of the tracks are from the same band ;)
Flow Score - 8/10
Total Score - 25.8/30

I got the lowest score of the round, didn’t I?

Yeah, but you got your highest score yet! And to be clear, everyone sent me some fantastic stuff this round. You all knocked it out of the park with your storytelling.
Here are the newly compiled scores going into the last round. You'll have to check my math, since as Ariich found out, I don't seem to know how to add anymore :lol Some major changes in the standings. Technically anyone could still win this in the final round.
Standings
Ariich - 27.5, 27.1, 28.6, 28.9 (112.1)
Cyril - 27.7, 30.8, 26.2, 26.5 (111.2)
Jingle - 21.9, 25.5, 27.9, 28.5 (103.8)
TAC - 24, 25.75, 26.7, 26.5 (102.95)
Elite - 25.4, 27, 23.9, 26.4 (102.7)
Wolfking - 25.3, 24.8, 23.3, 26.2 (99.6)
Kingshmegland - 23.6, 16.9, 25.5, 27.3 (93.3)
Vmadera - 21.4, 19.9, 24.7, 25.8 (91.8)

Be fair on yourself, you got a near-perfect score for the story.
On the other two aspects, you're not exactly tailoring your EPs to what Pup is looking for - that is to say, Pup clearly said in the OP that for flow he prefers an edited single file rather than Spotify playlists, and by this point in the roulette we should all have a better idea of his musical interests and tastes. Which is a completely fine way to play roulettes by the way, you're certainly not alone in sending things you want to share rather than what the host will like most! It's just unlikely to generate high scores unless you (or anyone else taking that approach - Stadler always does and to some extent so does Pup actually) and the host have highly overlapping tastes and interests.
To be really clear, I'm not in any way having a go at you for your approach - like I said it's completely valid and rewarding in a different way to sending things you think the host will like (which doesn't always work well anyway!).

:lol I dunno, I love my album and how it ties to my previous EPs, but there's less than a point between us (thanks to my stupid integrity) in a 45-point round, and we're both generally good at concept albums, so this could completely go either way.
But yeah it's unlikely we'll both screw up enough for someone else to win. Let's see though. :lol

Ah the first song here, The Way It Ends, is a Guitar Hero throwback.
I miss that game, I used to play it so much back then and this song was one of my favorites to play :metal
The next song here, Nothing for Me Here, I have to admit I wasn't expecting much from this song based on the band name, their genre of music they are classified as, and their band picture (LoL), but I actually really ended up liking this song more than anticipating.
This is also from the same Guitar Hero :)
Next is Beautiful Mourning.
Guitar hero? :neverusethis:
I get what you mean about the vocals though. None of these songs really have great vocalist (though we might disagree on Corey Taylor/Snuff). Prototype is exactly that, great instrumentation with vocals that was subpar. The guitar work is great enough for me to like their music though.

These are all good points. For myself, I never play roulettes to win. I play to introduce the host to new music and to have fun. If I happen to win as a byproduct, that's just a happy accident. And everyone has different tastes in music that doesn't always work out, just ask Jingle in his roulettes I've participated in :lol
-
I’m going stupid with this last one then. This is either gonna be my worst score yet, or I’m gonna end up acing it and I don’t know which one would be worse here.

I think you sent quite possibly the worst song I received in any of my 4 roulettes. Out of 449 songs, that's saying something! :lol :lol

Go on then, Pup. Did I send the absolute worst song yet?

He didn't "rule 6" you so nothing was that awful. :lol
EDIT: Actually am I right in thinking that Pup is himself the only person ever to have actually been rule 6ed?
-
I don’t remember that. Which roulette?
-
What is rule 6?
-
Pretty sure it was when Cyril (then called Parama) first introduced the rule to his own roulette. The rule was basically along the lines of: I hate your submission enough then I'll eliminate you from the whole roulette.
-
Good lord! That seems a little extreme.
-
(that was a roulette with eliminations every round and the goal of the rule was that if there was an obvious total dud among an otherwise group of healthy participants i would eliminate that dud outside of the normal round eliminations so that the entire rest of the round doesn't go to waste :corn)

I can't remember if I was technically rule 6ed for Absu or if I was just simply eliminated. Maybe it was both :rollin
-
no, there were two albums that round that really sucked so i didn't rule 6 either :corn
-
Ah yes, you're right. I'd confused two things - as you say, in your case it was just an epic fail but not a rule 6.
It was in fact Sacul in the following round who got the only ever rule 6: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=52411.msg2447411#msg2447411

I actually liked St. Vincent up to this album. I stopped listening with the self titled since I thought it was pretty bad. Then Masseduction came out and it was even worst. I had tickets to see her in 2017 and after I heard the album I sold my tickets.

Which you then followed up with the (IIRC) equally bad Novembre / Zenith

I've been creating art like crazy over the last few days for the albums I've received so far. I'm enjoying this so much! Listening to the concept albums while creating art for them :metal There's going to be some fairly large album books for each of these.

I hope I can send something this weekend. I have a rough draft with songs that I don’t have in my music library, so I’m not sure how to do this yet. I’m pretty sure there’s a way to (illegally) rip stuff from Spotify without resorting to silly loop-back recording methods.
To be continued.

But seriously, get on it guys! I understand that real life takes precedence over silly forum games. However, I leave early Tuesday morning. Any submissions not in by Monday evening (my time, Pacific Standard Time), I can't promise I will be able to listen to them. Besides I'm just greedy for more music and stories! It's a long flight to Dublin, so give me tunes!

Does the concept album have to be a single track? / Are you sure you want a two-hour long track?

Doesn't have to be. Ariich split his up into 3 separate tracks. Wolfking's is in 5 tracks. And TAC's is in 2 tracks. I will also gladly take a single 2 hour long track too. It's completely up to you. :corn
-
I might send you a two hour file for the hell of it, but I think splitting it up into parts might be slightly more convenient :lol

i sent a two-hour file because i am sadistic

Shit, I actually meant to send mine as a 2 hour single track also, along with the broken up parts. Let me know if you want it as a single track, although the difference is minimal, bar some less space between the acts.

Semi curious / semi teasing ... what were ya'll doing for the last 8 weeks? Round 4 was submitted mid-August.
-
Yeah, I don’t think I’m gonna submit. I’ve been super busy job hunting, tomorrow I’ve got a festival to MC and tbh, I just kinda don’t have the confidence to deliver anything worthwhile. I’ve kicked around a couple of concerts, got really far into one of them, but even that started looking like a steaming pile of dog shit after maybe a day and a half. I think I’m probably going to have to accept a zero on this because I just can’t be satisfied with anything I’ve tried here.

OK, everything is in and (mostly) accounted for. How about some stats for the round...
- 130 total songs
- Albums range from 59 minutes to 2 hours
- One album has 24 different songs
- Another has only 5 songs
- Total round run-time.....14 hours and 15 minutes :metal
-
Mine isn’t even the shortest in songs or run length. That’s kinda semi-decent.
-
14 hours. :lol
-
totally guilty of the two hour album, though less guilty of the 24 song album :corn
-
I've got 22 tracks submitted, but it's 23 actual songs (two songs were best suited to be merged into one track). Mind you, one track is only a 0:49 segue track. Running time 1:51.
-
Mine is one hour, 57 minutes and 40 seconds and contains 20 different songs.
-
Mine is 1 hour 22 minutes long, contains 17 songs and will likely be both the worst rated and cheesiest title.
-
Mine is only 73 minutes long. I went a different route than most.
-
Mine will likely be cheesiest title.
Eh, I wouldn't count on that :lol
-
Seems like there's a nice range of different lengths.
:eyebrows:
-
I listened to mine again today and here's a couple of things I noticed;
- The flow in Part I is better than in Part II. On Part I, I'm actually really pleased with how it turned out, even despite the different kinds of metal (and other stuff) I managed to slam together. Although I'm still convinced all of the individual transitions work, the first few songs on Part II are stylistically a bit too different for it to be cohesive.
- I'm pretty sure I like every song on my album and that includes the ridiculously silly djent-breakdown that starts Part II. I do hope Pup treats this as an intro and not as a full song, because it might tank my score otherwise :lol
- The story I sent Pup was pretty bare-bones and I forgot to call out a few specific things I had in mind with some songs, so if my story score taks, it'll probably be because of that. Again, this is mostly the first few songs in Part II.
- Should I have made it 117 minutes? Probably not, but that's how it ended up. And this is even with me cutting off intros and adding crossfades between tracks. The Spotify playlist was over 2 hours long.
- I accidentally cheated, but since Pup explicitly states it in the OP, I figure I'll be okay :)
-
Seems like there's a nice range of different lengths.
:eyebrows:
I go by thickness.
-
OK, song list has been sent to Cyril for hangmangkypankyness.
I will try to post the occasional album art for these during my vacation. First Impressions may come during my vacation as well. No promises though. I'll be around though, I'm fairly certain Ireland has internet :biggrin:
-
alright, i got the list but i super don't feel like doing a 130 song hangman by hand, dacul where's your hangman tool? :lol
actually you know what? screw it. it's funnier this way. we're doing it by hand and all at once. i'm in charge, i do what i want

you know what, actually, doing 130 hangman songs + 9 titles all at once sounds like a nightmare for ME specifically :lol
this is gonna be a long round so here's what we're gonna do: one hangman of 10 songs a day, for 13 days, additive - anything not solved carries over to the next hangmang. day 14 will have the album titles. two whole weeks of hangman hell. let's begin

The Cars is an interesting choice.
If it's not Joe, then I'd have to give it to Chad.
I feel like Carrie Underwood and Sarah McLachlan would've been sent by the same person, and I know Joe is a big Sarah fan, but my guess there was wrong apparently. And they're not Deadeye who sent April Lavigne...
I'm going to attribute those to Chad as well.
Vektor, Gojira, and Dungeon VMadera maybe??
Yay...farting!
That's a good guess. Did you think of that all by your self?

Well, you're spreading this out over two weeks, so if you just sent a handful of tracks, it's entirely possible none of yours have shown up yet.
Also it's ridiculously hard to guess the songs as well as who sent what if you have never heard of these groups :lol

The Contortionist-Language I: Intuition-Kingshmegland
Nope.
-
i'm glad my motivational threat of violence is working :angel:
*looks at sig*
Yup.
Also, interesting that apparently me and someone else sent one of the same songs, unless Cyril made a mistake.
-
The Contortionist-Language I: Intuition-Kingshmegland
Nope.
Huh. OK.
Then it's either Ariich, VMadera, or Cyril. I don't think it's Cyril, but it has a Cyril-ish band name.
-
Nemesea - It's Over (jingle.boy)
I'm not in this roulette (people seem confused who is actually in the one I'm in :lol ), but it's fascinating to see this band here. Probably not the song I would have sent, but seeing the writeup will be curious.
-
Also, interesting that apparently me and someone else sent one of the same songs, unless Cyril made a mistake.
oh yeah, i was waiting to assign that to one of you two and it -will- be showing up a second time :corn
i'll update in a bit, kinda busy atm
-
You mean Ariich sent Avril Lavigne too? :lol
My money is on In Mourning or Nemesea.
-
okay, updated
i feel like this would be a fun time to list out the # of songs on every album :corn
5, 8, 9, 12, 12, 17, 20, 23, 24
make of this what you will
-
Updated without my requested N.
So now I'll take an E too.
Stone Sour...Chad?
-
The 20's. Holy shit.
-
Calling it, King sent the album with 5 songs :coolio
-
Lol. Nope.
-
Updated without my requested N.
chill, like five hundred people posted since the last update :lol
do you want me to solve more of your songs for you? :corn
-
Calling it, King sent the album with 5 songs :coolio
Didn't Elite already make a claim to that?
Our Hangman host sent Dreyelands? Fascinating. Particularly the song choice, and he knows what I mean.
It's Over would not have been a Nemesea song I would've chosen to send in-and-of-itself, but it is required for the concept ... which everyone knows the title of already anyway.
-

i actually have no clue what you mean, since i didn't send it :corn
and considering elite already has 7 songs on the board... :P

-
also isn't DTP banned? who got away with that and how? :corn
- I accidentally cheated, but since Pup explicitly states it in the OP, I figure I'll be okay :)
^ more observations about my EP in that post..
And I also mentioned this:
Mine is one hour, 57 minutes and 40 seconds and contains 20 different songs.
I think in order to realistically fit more songs on there, there will have to be some amount of interlude/segue tracks. I had to cut-off an entire intro, crossfade stuff and swap out songs for different ones in order to make my 20 songs fit under 2 hours.
-
for what it's worth my album went like a minute over two hours and puppies was totally chill about it, so :lol
it would've been basically impossible for me to squeeze out any extra time at that point and swapping out songs was not really an option for me
-
at least I got that part right :biggrin:
I just completely missed/forgot Devin Townsend was banned (or any other artist for that matter, I didn't realise there even was a banned list when I selected stuff for the last round) and the song fits like a glove in the nonsense story I made.
-
Our Hangman host sent Dreyelands? Fascinating. Particularly the song choice, and he knows what I mean.
i actually have no clue what you mean, since i didn't send it :corn
and considering elite already has 7 songs on the board... :P
You’re the only one who hasn’t been identified, and I assumed the ??? with Dreyelands listed right underneath it was a cheeky way of you starting your list of songs.
Oh yeah … I mixed up who had disclosed how many songs they had submitted.
-
The DTP song is Heaven's End
Ne__ House Band
Or maybe Neal Morse Band ;D

Yes, it is indeed.

nah this is where i'm putting fully solved songs from previous hangman rounds who didn't have senders guessed so they don't clog up the hangman

Barock Project. King maybe?
EDIT: Oh and my excuse is that I have a 5-day-old baby. :P

TAC, do you wanna take a crack at which two other songs from your list would be mine?

congrats on the baby and the mostly wrong guesses too
barock project is solved, so :P

Just guessing that Wolfking sent the WASP song to go with the six other WASP songs! ;D
The song I believe is Clockwork Mary.
TAC, do you wanna take a crack at which two other songs from your list would be mine?
Anthriel and Voyager

Khonsu is a Cyril pick
The Nevermore track is probably on wolfking’s
The Dreyelands has been guessed for basically everyone yet, so Puppies probably sent that himself
-
i score an assist on stortregn for getting TAC the lyrics, but no :P
other one is correct however
i feel with a sample size of two it should be easy to figure out my remaining songs when they come up :corn
-
You replied before I (very swiftly) edited my post!
-
i am pretty sure i did not miss a correct guess for dreyelands, no
wolfking did not send this nevermore song, either

Let’s assign Dreyelands to TAC then!

yes, let's!

The two Leprous songs are VMadera too.
-
well, a few guesses right, that's progress™
-
Is Karnivool Kingshmegland?
-
Spock’s Beard isn’t Cyril is it? Just off the cryptic clue of “who spocked my beard”.
Otherwise, I feel inclined to go with kingshmegland since he sent me one of their tunes for my roulette.
-
I already guessed Joe, and it's not him.
-
all of the above sleuthing is incorrect :yarr
-
Cyril sent Karnivool
-
Leprous tunes look like Fate and Not Even A Name
Did VMadera send Spock's Beard?
-
TAC, did you send the almost completely unsolved one?
-
TAC, did you send the almost completely unsolved one?
I did not.
-
I see the baby is awake again! :lol
-
Did VMadera send Spock's Beard?
Maybe Ariich? Or wolf? I feel like we went through everyone except them two
-

It ain't Wolfking.
-
Spock's Beard certainly ain't my thing.
-
I see the baby is awake again! :lol
Yep. :lol She's not a terrible sleeper by newborn standards, but waking up in the night is my life now for a good few months.
-
spock's beard more like who sent the beard, spock?
-
Ok,Spock's beard has been guessed for everyone except TAC and Elite it seems.
Unless TAC is trolling us, Elite sent it.
-
It is definitely not me.
-
It is definitely not me.
So it's Elite
(https://media.giphy.com/media/l0IylOPCNkiqOgMyA/giphy.gif)
-
My album starts with You’re Everything and ends with She’s Everything
wow! :o
-
I’m actually kinda keen to hear your story if that’s the case Elite.
-
It’s definitely true, it’s on my album :lol
The first track is sung by a woman, the last one by a man, so it’s the same thing from two perspectives in different times.
But the story is nothing spectacular at all. Just some random stuff about a person who turns out to be a demon, gets transported to hell/heaven and back, all the while thinking that his love interest doesn’t truly live him, when in fact she does. In fact she turns out to be the one to stop him from going on a rampage when he figures out he’s not only got powers to control fire, but also to influence people’s minds (which led him to believe he did the same thing to his love).
Anyway, connect the fire songs and you’ll have my album basically :lol
-
My EP starts with “I’m Eveything” and ends with “(Guess what?) I’m Still Everything”. ;D
-
Advent Sorrow song is Pestilence Shall Come
-
My EP starts with “I’m Eveything Wrong” and ends with “(Guess what?) I’m Still Everything Wrong”. ;D
FTFY
-
My album starts with Magnum Opus Caelestis, which describes my song choosing process for it
Make of that what you will

Why? Aside from the opener and the closer, everything is basically in the metal vein.

Karnivool-We Are
Did Elite send Karnivool?

I guess Heaven's End becomes metal for the choruses, though most of that song is quite smooth. Love me some Ki, though!

y'all need to figure out who sent karnivool and eternal storm already, geez :corn
no it wasn't me. again, my theme should be obvious by now

Chad cannot ever recall hearing a Karnivool song in his life.

Just to clean things up a bit, Stortregn, Lamb Of God, and Advent Sorrow are Wolfking.
Eternal Storm has to be Ariich.
-
you're right, TAC did send Eternal Storm
fun fact, here's how many songs are left on each album, in no particular order:
1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 6, 6, 7, 10
this is perplexing as these add up to 41 and there should be 40 songs left. i hope i didn't miss a song somehow
-
Last song is It's Me
Is the band Rightside, or Nightside?
I need an E
-
that guess is vaguely wrong enough on all fronts that i'm not gonna give anything to you other than the E
-
that guess is vaguely wrong enough on all fronts
:lol
It's Us?
This Day & Age
S
-
i figured out that there's actually 131 hangman entries but only technically 130 songs, bcuz of the one repeat
okay, that makes sense but that means my album song counts from before must've been off by one somewhere then :lol ohwell
-
A
-
Nightbirde-It's OK -Deadeye
Another WASP song...Somebody To Love Me...has to be Wolfking.

not deadeye, yet again TAC works his magic

yes, yes, and close!

-
The Contoritionist-Thrive-VMadera

I was surprised I have this album in my Spotify library..

-
Cloudscape...Deadeye.
Could be Chad, but the title doesn't fit his EP
-
it's so funny when you guess something going "this is probably wrong" and it's right, jingle did send cloudscape :P
-
Yesternight? Lesternight?
More of a walk, less of a climb?
-
Yesternight, sent by king, who also sent This Day and Age.
Intervals.
-
The Yesternight is Who You Are.
The Intervals is A Voice Within.
-
More of a walk, less of a climb?
the opposite of this, but yes :lol
everything is up to date, all solved except the last part of the iapetus song(s) (hint hint)
-
Ariich and Elite's albums are an... interesting mix of artists so far :corn
I don't think mine is unusually varied for a full length roulette concept album, if that's you mean. A mix of styles for sure, but chosen to be coherent. The heavy songs are driven by fast guitar work, while the slower songs also have nice guitar work and some great solos. And regardless of genre everything has a fairly proggy influence.
I'd also say there's a distinct vibe to each of the three acts, with the middle one having more of the slow material.
Related but I listened again the other day and some of the transitions are so good, especially in act I. I'll post the links as always once hangman is finished.

Like a movie or reading a book. That's how I always think of when making a playlist.
-
Intervals is also Kingshmegland.
(incl. Angelus Novus)
-
my album was very easy to sequence and make transitions for considering it's all of five songs long :neverusethis:
i think i have the longest album with the fewest # of songs but i'm pretty dang sure puppies will like at least 4 of the 5 songs, so :corn
king did not send intervals.
-
I'd also say there's a distinct vibe to each of the three acts, with the middle one having more of the slow material.
Mine is in two halfs and each has a completely different style but each half of the story calls for a different vibe..

Kingshmegland?

Missed like my spelling.
-
So..
Not Deadeye
Not Elite
Not Kingshmegland
Definitely Not Wolfking
Must be VMadera
-
listing off only four people and then saying it must be a fifth is quite the bold incorrect guess
-
That leaves Chad, Ariich, and Cyril, and honestly, the only person that I could see listening to that would be Cyril.
Doesn't really go with anything Ariich sent, and I guess it could be Chad, because it's short and he has a ton of songs.
Whatever. Solve it so I don't have to go back and forth and let's get on with the next Hangman.
-
it is jingle, but where did i say i'd be putting up the next hangman early if this one was finished? :lol one a day, cap'n.
-
But Ariich's baby is going to be up soon and he's gonna need something to do.
-
i don't think ariich's baby knows how to play hangman yet
-
Alright. See you tomorrow.

:lol
-
i don't think ariich's baby knows how to play hangman yet
Common sense.
Alright. See you tomorrow.
Lies. :lol

But Ariich's baby is going to be up soon and he's gonna need something to do.
Correct. :)
i don't think ariich's baby knows how to play hangman yet
She's waiting...
-
In training.
-
B for baby
-
Nightbirde / it’s ok is about her acceptance in dying from cancer. How you didn’t guess me from the start is baffling.

I'm beginning to think Chad PM'd me the wrong song title, because I couldn't find it anywhere either.....other than on the album he sent me...
-
it looks like, from a quick search, it's supposed to be a Vision Divine song
i think i understand the snafu, considering that the band's vocalist at the time went on to join Secret Sphere a few years later :lol

Ah yeah... right. My bad. I manually typed the tracklist, rather than copy / pasted it (It is indeed Vision Divine / My Angel Died). And since it's only a 40 second segue song, I totally gapped out. Italian Power Metal all sounds the same anyway!! :lol
Cyril... you've done a truly incredible job with this.

I will probably have first impressions up on either Thursday or Friday. I'm flying home on Thursday, though, so we will see if I can make that happen. I got way less listening in on this vacation than I anticipated......so keep your expectations in check.

Despite containing the best track, I think Part II is significantly worse due to dubious flow choices. The whole thing is still fun to listen to I guess, so I'm sharing the entire thing with you guys here before I'm out of the house for a few days. I posted the 'story' a few pages back, see the quote below for reference:
The story is nothing spectacular at all. Just some random stuff about a person who turns out to be a demon, gets transported to hell/heaven and back, all the while thinking that his love interest doesn’t truly love him, when in fact she does. In fact she turns out to be the one to stop him from going on a rampage when he figures out he’s not only got powers to control fire, but also to influence people’s minds (which led him to believe he did the same thing to his love).

concept tying together my first three EPs with an overarching narrative rooted in freudian psychology, set to a space epic of a soundtrack :hat
first song is just stage dressing, second represents my fantasy EP, third my history EP, fourth is like, a step back from the scene of the sci-fi EP, and fifth is, i guess, the real representative of the sci-fi EP/conclusion to the overarching story? sort of tried to match the sound of each epic to its representative as best as i can, anyways. nothing short of a big epic to represent an entire universe, amirite?
i may have overthought just a tad, but i'm happy with the result :lol
congrats, ariich!

I know some of the transitions are a tad clunky (Dying to Live Again-It's Over; My Angel Died-When Everything Falls), but I did the best I could in those transitions. Some of the songs might also seem a be a bit out of place stylistically - but since I'm not going to catch Rich or Cyril (I don't even know what that dude's real name is), I wasn't going to spend anymore time on the dieting (see what I did there!?!? :lol) Also, some aspects of some of the lyrics (eg, gender/noun usage) is off in a few songs, but it's not like I wrote/recorded these things ;)
---------------------------------
F#ck Cancer Pt2: Her
Cancer: Did you really think I was over you? I always had my eye on you; like a creeper that's always lurking - maybe out of sight, but never out of mind. And now I'm back. Are you ready for round 2, cuz I'm gonna be a real bitch now. This won't be fun for you, but this is my jam. I'm whimsy, I'm fancy-free, I'm gonna ravage your body and soul. I'm gonna have a blast wreaking havoc and laying waste every where I go. Come on girl, it's go time.
I always knew this time was going to come, and that the last four years I was playing with house money. At least this time, I know what I'm in for, and I know I can do this. It's like riding a bike - a painful, torturous, excruciating, dreary, draining, soul-sucking, draining bike. But, it's time to suit up, and start peddling. I can endure this - because endurance is key - for this is a marathon… a marathon like no other - more than just survival… it is THE test of ultimate will. The kids are older (and somewhat wiser now), but just like last time, I know they will light the fire in my eyes. I've got so much more to do with this life. The pain an suffering is temporary; for the love of my family and our future, I'll do this all again. In such a contemptible distortion of irony… I'm dying to live again.
Cancer: oooh… what do I see down there? I'm in the mood for some liver. It's time I was moving on.
<7 months later>
Four. Spread. The two worst words I will ever hear in my - now shortened - life. Preceded with "stage", and concluded with "liver". Turns out I was wrong - I thought those were the two worst words I'd ever hear. Doc proved me wrong about 8 seconds later with "three" and "six" …. As in months to live. It's over now. None of my prayers were answered, and no more will be answered. There's no use in clinging to any hope I could get some kind of made-for-TV miracle ending. It's over. The treatments have ravaged my body as much as the disease, and still, the disease won. It's time to live - I really am on borrowed time now. There's so much to do before I die. I just have to embrace what life I have left. This is who I am now.
It's go time.
Cancer: You go girl. I'll be waiting for you at the finish line
<5 months later>
I've been in bed for 13 days now. Or has it been 14? More? I don't know, and I'm not sure I care. I've lived all the life that I can. I've wrung every last drop out of me. Now, I'm just existing … barely. But it's ok. I have no regrets. I only wish him and the kids didn't have to see me wither and wilt away to nothing, just waiting for something to fail that will finally take me away. I know he's been thru hell, and isn't quite fully ready to cross the finish line with me. It's ok. He'll find himself again.
Cancer: if there's anything else to say, you'd better do it tonight. The party's over. My work here is done.

It's time now. Or, it will be soon. Look at that, it's a little after 1pm. God I hate that time. He finally joins me as I see the end of this road. "It's ok" I tell him. He finally says it back to me. I can rest now. With all of the strength I can muster, I whisper "I will always love you". In this life, and the next. My eyelids have never been so heavy. I can see his sadness, but what I really see is his love, devotion, caring, strength, commitment, and his beautiful eyes. The really are a window to the soul. I can close mine now. We exchange a kiss, and say "Goodbye".
A Higher Power: Are you ready?
You know how when you're really tired, but trying to stay awake, you kind of drift in and out of consciousness? In this ending, it's like drifting in and out of existence. One moment I can hear them talking … some are sobbing, some are telling stories of better times, some just trying to hold it together. I can feel the love (and sadness) in the room from each of them. In another moment, it's as if my mind and soul has begun to burn away like the ashes of a campfire - ashes that still have a momentary dim glowing ember, and then fade and float away. But it's not a bad 'burn'. I know the next place is somewhere special. It's a celebration of sorts. For the first time in … I don't even know how long … I'm longing and yearning for something - something good. Something profound. Something enlightening. Something beautiful. And then once again, I'm snapped back like an elastic and in my bedroom with my family (which is ok!) I can feel him holding my hand, and each time I return, I squeeze it with what little strength I have for what might be the last time.
A Higher Power: You are ready now.
It's not ashes actually, it's just the next 'me', and I fly away in the arms of an angel.
F#ck Cancer Pt2: Him
No. No, no, no…. NO! NOOOOOOO! Not again - she had this beat! This isn't fair. I know that life isn't fair, but why? Why this again? Our daughter isn't even one yet! Fuck this life. Fuck it hard.
Ok, pity party is over. Time to get back to work. I've got to be her rock again - ffs, I'm not the one fighting cancer. We did this once before, we can do it again. She's dying to live - and I'll stand by her every step - be her strength when she has none.
<7 months later>
She's ready to give up; she's convinced it's over … but it's not time to throw the towel in yet. There is no fate but what we make. I won't give up… she can't give up! This is not how our story ends. I can't go on without her. The kids need her. *I* need her. Oh god, why? Fuck you God, fuck you. This is *not* ok. I don't want her to leave us, but I know this is a fight she is losing, and it's only going to kick the shit out her more. It's time to wave the flag. Where's that bucket list?
<5 months later>
Tonight will be the night. 'Til death do us part. Our last goodbye. I can barely hear the conversation happening all around us - they're all here in our room, but she and I are in our own little bubble. One last kiss … and as she closes her eyes, two single tears slip out of her eyes. She squeezes my hand at least a dozen times, maybe more… each one a little further apart. Until finally, there is nothing.
And then my world truly crumbles. People hold me, and I just melt. Every ounce of strength I'd drawn upon for the last year finally evaporates. I can hear and smell the tears and sobs all around me. Everything I've had to hold in for the last year just flows out of me. Numb doesn't even come close to what I'm feeling - or not feeling?? I thought I'd cried a lot (never in front of her though), but this hurt is a reservoir all to it's self. I don't remember if time stopped, or accelerated. The days and weeks that followed lasted forever in one sense, but were over in the blink of an eye in another.
It didn't take long to realize that grief is not linear. Five stages?? Pffft… more like 50 versions of those 5 stages that come and go, and then come back again, and again, and again. Denial came and went years ago. Our outcome had long been written, there was/is no sense in denying it. The word that most people ask at this moment in their life is "Why?" What's the fucking point, though? There is no reasonable or logical answer - it's only a path to more pain and despair. Despair. That's what my first stage is. Despair… a spiralling downward staircase with seemingly no bottom, and no way to turnaround, and no way to stop taking those steps. I know that life isn't fair, but what in the actual fuck? How am I going to raise these children on my own? How am I ever going to smile again? How do I stop taking the steps down this spiral? I've lived enough of my own depression that I certainly know how to fake it, but our world will never be the same again, and though I try to look to the future and move forward, there are so many reminders of her everywhere I turn - in the house, when I'm out driving, the music I listen to, the shows I watch. It's like when you buy a new car, and then you see that make, model, and color of car everywhere. She's everywhere. Does this fucking staircase ever end!?!?!?
Oh God! I am so mad I don't know what to do! NOW I wanna know why! I wanna know *why* her life is over! I wanna know if this little girl will ever remember how wonderful her mother was! Will any of the kids *ever* know what she went through for them! Oh *God* I wanna know *why*? *Why*? I wish I could understand! No! No! No! There is no understanding.
It's not supposed to happen this way! I'm supposed to go first. I've always been ready to go first! These children need a mother more than a father. I-I don't think I can take this! I-I don't think I can take any this! I-I just wanna *hit* somebody 'til they feel as bad as I do! I just wanna hit something! I wanna hit it hard! I don't know how to release all of this rage inside of me. I don't know how it is even possible. There is no scream loud enough to get rid of this pain. Better to surround myself with silence.
I spend far too much time in that silence… and darkness - both figuratively and literally. I know it's not healthy, but I'm paralyzed. Paralyzed in these shattered emotions and feelings. I don't have the strength to get out of this place. I'm drowning in the sea of life, and the darkness is the closest thing I have to a life preserver. I know people mean well, but I hate the word condolences. I hate it when people tell me "you're in my prayers". Really??? How am I doing in your fucking prayers, cuz I'm a fucking wreck out here in the real world. If not for the lives and future of my children, I'd rather just join her in the afterlife. I hate how in the beginning every one wants to send you flowers, or food, or gift baskets, or donate to a foundation for her … and then they stop calling, or writing, or texting, or visiting, or doing nice things because they're over it - and they think (expect?) you to be over it. I hate running in to someone I haven't seen in a long time, and I know they know she died, but we have an entire conversation and they never bring her up, never acknowledge it in any way, or ask now I'm doing - they just pretend everything is fine or normal … as though it's too painful for THEM to have that conversation. They don't know pain.
Please do not ever tell anyone to “get over” their grief. Grief stays with us forever, it moves in, and it lives inside us for the rest of our lives. Instead… ask us how we are, ask us to talk about them, ask us how we are doing… days, weeks, months and years after they have died. We don’t stop loving them - ever. EVER! We will always love them, and we will always miss them, and grieve… There is no “d” at the end of love, or grieve, or care, or anything when someone dies. Their existence on this world may have ended, but their existence in my world did not.
I never did see the bottom of that staircase, but I did somehow manage to stop taking any more steps… even turned around and started walking up. I'm nowhere near the surface though, but at least I'm headed in the right direction. They say time heals all wounds? Maybe … but there is one helluva scar. I'll never forget life before the scar; I will always remember everything about her, but the scar is a permanent part of me now. It's time to move on with that scar.

Pretty glad to see I’m not the only one who prominently featured one artist for the final round.
Here’s my story. Break Me, If You Can. Told you it was a cheesy ass title.
This is such a weird story, but think The Giver. The background is kinda exactly like that.
The story starts in a cult like setting, that I will refer to as The Community. The world wasn’t always like this, but generation upon generation have passed. Minds slowly broke over time, now their truth is the truth. Almost all emotion has been re-coded to practically not exist. The history of Earth that was? Removed. What they don’t know won’t hurt them, right? (MK Ultra)
Children are still allowed to make their own choices though. They’re just led to believe that nothing else is safe. This life, under someone else’s control, is their only real safe haven. But they’re not really given answers as to why the world beyond is unsafe, they’re simply told “don’t wander, stay here”. But our protagonist is starting to wake to his emotions. He feels like staying here is going down with a sinking ship and is starting to realise the insanity of his situation. (Simple Boy)
Starting to see through the cracks in the façade, our protagonist starts to try and bring himself to escape. Life has been lived with a metaphorical hand in front of his eyes, but realising that, beyond there is still a lot of sunlight for us all. (Broken)
But when you’ve spent your life with everyone believing the same thing, it’s easy to feel divided and ostracised. He believes that maybe whatever is out there isn’t worth knowing, maybe it’s best to not wander and stay in The Community where he’s been raised for so long. (Knievel Has Landed)
So he asks the elders the simple question, what horrors are truly out there that they’re being kept safe from within the community. The answers, if there were any to be found, were silent. But instead of the usual rhetoric he’s been fed, he’s persecuted for having deviant thoughts and ordered to go back to his quarters. (The Caudal Lure)
But no. He’s not having it. This is enough and he’s making a stand. Who they have been raised to be is no one he can stand to be. The decision is made. He’s getting out, finding a real life and being his own person. (We Are)
In the darkness of the night, he makes the ultimate decision. He decides the best way out of this is to leave unnoticed. He makes his way to the back of the forest to the lake area, takes a deep breath and makes his way beyond the bounds of the community to start again. (Traipse)
(Laguna Sunrise) is just a real nice guitar piece, but can be used to symbolise the successful escape of our protagonist and will also stand for the passage of time. Our protagonist was merely a young adult when he left, but he finds his own life and lives for a good few years (I’m thinking around 5 to 10 years, it doesn’t really matter how long, just it’s been a while.)
When someone is raised to not feel anything, it’s fairly natural that if they unlocked that ability it could be misused. Having been just another simple boy, his life on the outside is fairly dangerous. He becomes an extremist chasing any thrill that he can, all in the name of simply “feeling alive”. He can’t just be an ordinary citizen of life beyond The Community. (Anything But Ordinary)
But it all gets out of hand. He can’t sleep because his mind just can’t seem to slow down enough to allow him to sleep. He ends up cursing the life he had grown up in, feeling they had failed to teach him how to live outside of their watchful eyes of rules and regulations (Show Me How to Live)
But nothing works. He realises he’s very alone and all he wants to do is belong. He submits to himself that maybe, as crazy as it seems, he was better off in The Community. (No One Nothing)
So he goes back. He lays it all out on the line and says “fine, you didn’t do a good enough job the first time, so it’s going to be much harder now, but I submit. Save me from this dreadful loneliness, turn me into someone like you again”. (Save Me)
But it’s only in doing so and reentering The Community that he remembers everything that was wrong. Everything is false. Slaves to the leader’s every notion. Emotionless and fake, they seem to love without affection. (Rewind Your Mind)
Nope. He’s not in for this. He thought he wanted to belong, but this is no way to be. This is robbing children of their future and all the work that’s being done here may as well be slave labour. Enough is enough (Taking Back Control)
He snaps out of it, he knows his true calling in life now. He’s going to destroy this place for good. (Divide)
And that’s exactly what he does. Over time, he shows people how to be individuals instead of living as part of a collective under the strict eyes of The Community. Their lives aren’t just a show, they will be who they are (Break the System)
And it’s through all of this that he became the person he wanted to be. His existence meant something, even if it had kinda sucked. What he thought he had lost, he had found within. He had become the fire needed to change everything. (Change)
I felt the ending of Change was the right note to leave off on. “Light your way, find your place in here”. Some of the song may be a little disjointed, but there were a few themes that it tackles that I thought really suited this conclusion, so, I’ll take the risk.
Pretty much putting it all on the line here, I don’t think this is better than Searching For a Purpose. Puppies might, but I’m just happy to say I’ve given this one a go. This is better than nothing, and I feel like I’ve used some different stuff here as well as the artists that have turned out decent results for me in the past. Is it enough? God no, I’m not getting off the bottom rung, but I ain’t ready to quit.

Well, I'm finally back from my vacation....and let me tell you, I didn't really want to come home......
Anyway, how about some first impressions...
- This was amazingly cinematic
- Talk about hitting all human emotions...
- This all feels very cohesive.....maybe too cohesive
- The middle of this kind of drags on longer than necessary
- This goes on and on and on, but I think I love every minute of it
- There's a lot to digest here and I'm not sure all of it is going to work for me in the end
- After seeing the song list I wasn't sure this was going to work, but I was shown differently
- This has a similar feel to your last EP, but more sensical and yet more nonsensical, if that makes sense :neverusethis:
- this is a lot of a specific prog sound that I've been really digging lately, but one song may be a bit too long for its own good
-
- This was amazingly cinematic
- The middle of this kind of drags on longer than necessary
- After seeing the song list I wasn't sure this was going to work, but I was shown differently
One of these? (EDIT: obviously I hope not the middle one, but Act II is slower so you could conceivably find it less interesting)
-
Am I the song list?

Per my edit in the last post, I rather hope it's not the middle one, so let's go with "amazingly cinematic"...
-
Does my middle drag?

- This goes on and on and on, but I think I love every minute of it
yeah considering i sent five epics totaling over 2 hours, i'm just gonna hail mary for this one :neverusethis:

Yep, gives us no clue at all. :lol
Seems like you might be stronger on the songs score with me stronger on the story. At least that's the impression I get from the first impressions!

I knew heavy metal Kurt Cobain was a gamble.

Yeah, mine could be the tracklist one?
-
- There's a lot to digest here and I'm not sure all of it is going to work for me in the end

One of these two?

Mine is definitely gonna be I'm not sure all of this works if Cyril didn't get it right.

Yeah I guess the human emotions one is blatantly obvious for mine.

Just read all of ariich’s booklet. Holy shit, that’s insane! Very good job :D
Ditto. Pretty damned cool. I've downloaded the track files, and will be firing that up later this week.

Title: The Composition of Life.
Mateo always wanted to be a painter. He idolized the greats. Michelangelo, Raphael, Caravaggio. He strived to fulfill his passion of all mediums. Oil was his favorite to use. Oils seems to pop off the canvas. He kept painting, word of mouth was spreading. People in town wanted to see his works. (Gold – Barock Project)
Word of his painting spread to distant towns. His brushstrokes were second to none. To him, it was a joy just to do what he loved. He never thought of himself as better than others. Just a passion he loved working daily. He was (A Truly Gifted Man – A.C.T.)
Though he loved what he was doing, he found it wasn’t paying the bills. He struggled to sell his painting because they were so personal to him but to survive and paint more he had to. It was an uphill battle always to balance his passion for his art and to keep a roof over his head. ( More of A Climb, Less of a Walk – This Day & Age)
It was here he would find out what he was made of. The inner turmoil to feed his passion as well as survive. Doubt crept in at times. He fought himself many times. The inner turmoil. (Who You Are – Yesternight)
Slowly he became bitter at critics, at the struggle to make money. Where was all the accolades of before? He still had fans of his works. He couldn’t understand the harshness of hat the critics wrote and why he couldn’t make more money. He fought these feeling. “To hell with them! I will do what I love! He said to himself, unabashed. (Judas Unrepentant – Big Big Train)
Still he had a big chip on his shoulders. He became bitter, hard to talk to. He felt at ease with the canvas, but not with human interaction. Was it in his head? Was it easier to hide behind the canvas? It seemed Mateo was pulling back from the world. (And The Grudge(Still Here) – Anasazi)
For years Mateo still worked, was still bitter and still hid behind his work. He looked back upon his work wondering if his anger fueled his art or did it hold him back? He slowly worked his way from behind the canvas to in front of humans again. Looking back on his journey, he forgot how much he loved to paint and to share his works with others. This brought a renewal late in his life for the love and passion of painting and sharing. (Sepia & White – Abel Ganz)
At his deathbed with his family and paintings sprawled around the room, he wondered if he let life get to him or did he live a good life. Ever tormented in his head, not sure what the answer is he closes his eyes for the last time. (A Room With a View – Anubis)

Just some observations about these concept albums that I've noticed after listening to them all for the third time all the way through.
- the first 20-30 minutes of every album is absolutely killer
- you have all improved massively (taking into account where each of your skill sets were at the start of this) in the flow category throughout this whole roulette
- I don't think any of the albums nailed all 3 scoring aspects this round, but this observation may change as I listen to each of these again throughout the week
-
the first 20, and then also the other 101 minutes :corn
i imagine if you think one aspect of mine is weak it has to be the story since the flow kinda does itself and the music is :metal but we'll see

Based on first impressions and also the songs you sent, I think your song score is pretty safe (I mean, I liked them a lot and I'm not even into these genres as much as Chris is). I could see him scoring you down on flow potentially, despite it only being 5 massive epics. 95 minutes of black and death metal followed by 25 mins of experimental indie is pretty bold, and it sounds like volume levels aren't very consistent between songs.
My score most at risk is songs, I think he'll definitely like quite a lot of what I sent but could find some of it not very interesting - I honestly just don't know.
Basically, it's anyone's guess!

For real though it would have been great to meet up if you'd been stopping over in the UK. Then again with a 2-week old baby, it still might not have been very feasible!

My wife is from Scotland so we travel up once or twice a year to visit family of hers. Let me know when you're going, would be fun if we happen to be there at the same time! Or if course stop by in London for a day or two. :P

I've been having a ton of fun making artwork for these albums as I listen to them. I made some during my vacation too and I've been slowly reworking them and adding to them......and I may have gone overboard this round :lol I hope you guys end up liking it as much as I enjoyed making it.

You'll have to wait till we score the artwork's flow.
I already sent awesome album covers for mine. ;D

Indeed you did. I used those as inspiration for some of the ones I created for your album.

Another interesting note.
- one of the closing tracks this round has basically fallen off a cliff as far as my enjoyment of it goes...
-
oh that's gotta be mine :corn
congrats ariich!

Mine is a voice of an angel, so I know it's not mine. ;D
Err...it probably is.

We went to London in 2014. Rich, how far away from London are you?
One hour flight, 6 hour drive, pretty long walk, a ferry over the canal. Lots of options to get to Amsterdam from London!
Oops, wrong Rich :neverusethis:
-
I have to push back the start of results to Wednesday, had some stuff come up that I had to deal with. Sorry for the delay.
-
No worries, there's no rush and this was a big round!

as someone who ran hangman for like two weeks, i can confirm there was no rush

Hope everything's OK Pup!

Sorry guys, been going through a little bout of depression the last few days. Sometimes life sucks.
-
It really does sometimes. No worries and nothing to apologise for. Whenever you're ready.
-
Yeah take care of yourself, that's the most important thing.
Regardless, we know Ariich won :metal :lol

Yeah, dude... take care of yourself first. Many/most (all?) of us have been there too.

Just so y'all know. I have been working on these, although it's been slow. Sorry for that.
Just so you have something to occupy your time, I'll start posting the art I've spent way too much time on this round for each album, starting with Ariich!

Very cool!!

I'm still green to this forum (and not even in this roulette), but is Puppies a digital graphic artist?

He's Viagra for DTF.

The art is nice and all but let's just get the writeups over with. ;D

I've dabbled in digital art for about 23 years now. Got into it in high school computer class doing 3d modeling and animation, as well as texturing. Never jumped in with both feet though. Although since this roulette has started I started getting back into it a lot (and trying a lot of new techniques along the way), to try to give back a little bit for the effort everyone has made putting together all these EPs and this final concept album.
The art is nice and all but let's just get the writeups over with. ;D
I'm working on them. Like I mentioned last week (or whenever that was), my head hasn't been in the right space for most of the last few weeks to really do these albums justice. I have been writing down notes here and there as I listen to them, it's just taking me longer than usual. For that I apologize, but since getting back from vacation at the end of October the reality of everything that happened back in August has all kind of come crashing in on me again. I've been using the opportunity of making some art for these as a bit of an escape and a coping mechanism. It's better than alcohol...
-

Don't you have a life? Are you in your mancave while the wife preps for Thanksgiving?
-
Ah, cool, some great stuff there. I'm a sucker for sci-fi/space visuals, so that's porn for me.
I don't get docked points for ass kissing when the host isn't even scoring entries from me, right? :biggrin:

I'm on DTF like you and watching the same game as you as well. :lol
My wife isn't cooking.
We are going to my SiL's tomorrow where the Pilgrims landed.
I don't get docked points for ass kissing when the host isn't even scoring entries from me, right? :biggrin:
No, but you do get to have your balls busted mercilessly.

Still in your mancave I bet. BTW, I'm watching DVR shows. Checking in on the B's & C's on my phone. Stuffing is made.

I can't do it. I simply cannot consume any fiction. I don't have the headspace for it.

I certainly don't watch reality shows that's for damn sure.
I just can't watch a show where's there's shit going on. A murder, a kidnapping, drama, whatever. i just don't find that relaxing in any way.
-
Not reality. Real life. My escape is 📺.

There's about as much drama, crime, and general mayhem in most sports leagues as there is in reality shows these days.

That is so epic. Love the characters, and love the space battles and the Pillars.
Characters from left to right, the first two must be Herschel and Albrecht and the last one General Cadman. Guessing the shadowy figure in between could be the leader of the Dogs of War?

Do whatever you need to do to get good with yourself. Most know I've suffered from depression regularly over the past 10 years - and have vanished from the forum for months at a time on more than one occasion... and I wasn't even suffering from the grief of losing close friends. So I get it, and as I said before some/most/all of us have been there and understand
Except for Tim apparently. Better get going on his writeup first, or he WILL be in a funk. :lol
Seriously though, do whatever you need to. And that artwork is bitchin.

I'm just kidding. We literally lost a best friend a couple of weeks ago and it's been quite sad and awful. Three kids the same age as mine (including my oldest's best friend) now without a father.
DTF has always been MY escape. It's a great friend network, and there's always someone to talk to.
And yes, the artwork is bitchin'!
-
That's awful Tim, sorry for your loss.
-
That's awful Tim, sorry for your loss.
Thank you. I'm fine. It was weird for my kids. Especially for my oldest.
-
That's the hard part Tim. Seeing young kids dealing with loss.
-
Here's the art for Tim's album. I'm also including the art he sent me in the PMs. I also made some of my own art based off the ones he sent me. Plus a bunch of other stuff...

Well, the art work drags a bit in the middle.. ;D Yeah yeah, it reflects the music.. :lol
Seriously I like it. I like how once he accepts God, he becomes a younger man.
Thank you for including the original artwork.

More art, this time for Wolfking!

Wow, absolutely love it!

Album art for Jingle.boy. I made multiple attempts at some of these, but was never really happy with a few of them, oh well. Hopefully you like it.

Dayum. Nice stuff, and a little heart wrenching given the theme.

Nice!!!
-
I've been periodically checking in on this thread and I just want to say the artwork is epic, really nice work Puppies.
-
I'm now really wishing I'd joined this roulette just to see what he would have done with a hypothetical one of mine. The concept story idea was intimidating though, I'm not as into those as the average prog fan, but maybe I could have figured something out.

FIRE!!!!!

My thoughts EXACTLY! Man, imagine this for the cover of Divisive. Would’ve made me want to buy the vinyl just to have Puppies’ art.
Can’t imagine what mine will look like.
-
Was my album about fire perhaps? ???
Looks really cool! Thanks!
-
Very cool!
-
That's .... hot!

Time for more art, this time for Kingshmeglands album. With this one the first 4 are supposed to be the life of the protagonist mostly through self portraits. Then the rest are my (poor) attempts at emulating the styles of various famous classical artists.
(https://i.imgur.com/KxbJOul.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/Sbvw4Wo.jpg)
-
Nothing screams classic like still fruit!
-
Love it!!
-
As a relatively new and untrained art enthusiast, your range is astounding. If you're ever bored I'd love to see if you can imitate the styles of H.R. Giger and Zdzislaw Beksinski, my two favorites.
-
That’s super cool!
-
I'm back with more album art, this time for Vmadera. The first collage shows the progression of war between humans and AI. The second shows the progression of development of more human-like AI.

I'm kind of floored that you know what Alita: Battle Angel is, unless you don't. :lol Yeah, that has to be the joke. But please tell me you've seen one of the first two Terminator films. :|

Right, I have no idea what Atilla Battle is.
Yes, I have seen the original Terminator.

I actually loved the plot.

You don't know the plot.

They crammed four movies of plot into it (and could have easily cut out most of the stuff with the love interest), but the visuals are breathtaking.

I actually loved the plot.
You don't know the plot.
Yeah I do. It was about a future robot assassin sent back in time to kill the mother and/or the child that would be =come something or other in the future..a rebel leader or something like that.

Holy mother of Skywalker, that’s amazing! I see Simple Boy, Traipse and Show Me How to Liveclear as day. Would be keen to know which one gave you the tower of skull though, coz thst’s beyond amazing! The Community looks so much better than I ever could have thought!

Hey Puppies, how’s it going?
I know I’m not really the one who gets to ask, based on my track record, but are we getting close to results time on this one?
Hope everything is ok and you had a great Christmas.

I gotta say depression is a hell of a thing. It's been tough. I actually sit down to bang out write ups pretty much every day, but when I go to listen to the album while doing the write up I find my mind wandering within a few minutes and I only get a few thoughts typed out. I just can't seem to concentrate, I don't seem to have the same eagerness I had when I started the roulette. Of course losing close friends in death will change things, so...
At any rate, I do actually have 2 of the write ups fully finished and some rough outlines on the others. I'm not going to leave you all hanging on this (more than I have, for which I truly apologize), especially with how much effort you all put into these. They will be completed. I wish I could give you a firm date, but I can't.
-
No rush at all dude, not what I meant to imply. This just came into my mind the other day. And of course, I totally get everything that’s going on, and I feel bad to have asked now. Sorry.
-
Take care of yourself first. We care more about you than the roulette. I'm here if you want to talk.
-
Pup, I know I like to harass roulette hosts for taking their sweet ass time....BUT I am NOT doing it when I say this...
You don't owe anyone any writeups. I mean, only Crow and Ariich have a chance to win, so it doesn't matter to anyone else. Let your art stand as your writeups, and I might suggest to say a few words about Crow and Ariich's Concept Albums and call it a day and lift the burden of this roulette off your shoulders..
-
I actually genuinely feel like a butthole now. Puppies, I’m actually really sorry if bringing this roulette back up feels like a burden. I’d be happy just to see the final ladder and know who won. Write ups aren’t necessary.

I think this is the perfect solution. I wasn't going to say anything and let it go but since it's heading this way, Chris, I'm more than happy not to have a write-up and a score. I'd actually prefer that.
I'm not just saying that but my album ended up so personal and hard hitting for me and I only did it for me. I really appreciate you giving me the platform to do it but it definitely was something for me in the end. I'm not sure if I'd actually like to see a score for it. I was very hesitant even sending it to you also.
As Tim said, this means nothing and you don't owe us anything. If trying to complete this is adding pressure, then don't do it. None of us know what you are dealing with and we never will, but focus on yourself and your mental health and dealing with this.
My recommendation is try and keep busy and do your best not to overthink. I had a few days off over XMAS and that was the worst thing I could have done. Your mind spirals and does nothing to help your mental state at all. Although, that's probably escaping from your feeling also but meh......Obviously we don't know the circumstances around your friends death and you'll grieve for some time to come but go easy on yourself. Also, I now firmly believe that death is nothing to fear and I also believe your friends are in a nice place on the other side. Yes.....I think I'm losing my mind, and my thinking has changed this year.....a lot.
Don't stress over this mate, announce a winner and let it be. I think I speak for all of us, especially us that have never done this format before that it has been very enjoyable and worthwhile. One of the most entertaining and fun roulettes I've ever played in.
If you ever need to drop a PM mate, go for it. I'm sure that goes for all of us.

Chris ... This was a fantastic roulette. Put a bow on it, and put it out of your mind - this need not be anything you should be stressing about.
