Train of Naught Roulette II v. MURAMASA... MASAMUNE

[Train of Naught]

Everyone was waiting for it. Only TWO songs in so far?! Stop slacking guys give me some songs already JEEEEZ

[Elite]

Yes

[Crow]

I still have to send to Mike and he posted results like 4 days ago, so you might have to wait 6 days

[Tomislav95]

Sent!

[Evermind]

Sent. I'll probably get a low score for this and then I'm sending some cheesy power metal in the last round.

[Train of Naught]

Sounds perfect!

[Crow]

I've had my round 7 song planned since the start but I need to figure out something to send that I can get a bonus for

[splent]

Dammit.

[splent]

I'm deciding between two.

[425]

Alright, I guess that's about what I expected. I'm glad it grew on you later on. I think it's one of the great prog instrumentals, but I understand why you wouldn't like something that sits on one or two themes for so long. I really like those kind of songs—Stream of Consciousness is probably in my top 20 DT songs at this point and all four Metallica instrumentals are for sure in my top 20 of their songs—but I get why someone wouldn't love it as much. But I do appreciate that you got into a lot of the super Rush-y elements and flourished, which are of course an essential part of what makes it so good.

If you haven't, listen to La Villa Strangiato. It's their other big instrumental and is probably less repetitive and way crazier with the guitar stuff. I was debating whether I should send it or YYZ. I can understand not being wild about Ged's voice, but Rush is just so crazy awesome from an instrumental perspective that I gotta love them anyway.

I'm fine with that score, too. I'm hoping for a little better the next two rounds, for which I plan to send bonuses, but there's still one person in the top five who has the same raw score as me, so I can't be doing too poorly.

I'll send tomorrow, I'm basically looking at two artists and 2-3 options for each one—but in each case one is over 11 minutes and the others are not, so I need to decide a) which order I'm going to send them in, and b) which one is going to serve as my 11+ submission.

[Train of Naught]

Yeah I'm glad I ended up really liking it. Instrumentals haven't had a really good track record in this roulette so far and I think that's the best one yet. Deep Channel got the same score I think, it's an instrumental but was used for world music IIRC. It makes it seem like I hate instrumentals

Got 5 songs now

[home]

I'm glad you liked Nothing More! I think you'll enjoy their self-titled album a lot The singer reminds me a lot of the singer of Fair to Midland, they both use this awesome combination of clean and harsh vocals and use their fingers on their throat to produce vibrato.

Also sent for final bonus point, a not too wel known song from a very well known band. It's simple yet beautiful and is probably not going to score me much points 

[Evermind]

I hope so!

[twosuitsluke]

Sent something that I'm fully prepared for you to hate, biggest risk taken so far 

[Elite]

Sent through Spotify.

Cool! Didn't know Fair To Midland had harsh vocals aswell. I loved that vibrato technique on The Wife, The Kids and The White Picket Fence (or whatever it was called ) too, sounded lovely.

[425]

I know I said I'd send today, but it'll actually probably be in about 12 hours.

[Scorpion]

I've settled on a band, just have to choose a song; expect my submission sometime during the day today.

[Train of Naught]

That's fine guys. Just need Parama then as soon as I have both your songs

[Scorpion]

Sent.

[Crow]

blame mike for me not having sent you a song yet tbh. i haven't even thought about what to send because i need to send something with a bonus point (round 7 song is set in stone tho, but i'm not sending it until round 7)

[Crow]

blame luke too because i had three bonus point songs lined up from the start and then he went ahead and sent one of the ones i was going to send

Hate the game, not the (opportunistic) player 

I was just glad you didn't send it before I got the chance to. Let's be honest though, there's enough music out there that it shouldn't be too much of a struggle. Just wait until you see the 0/10 song I sent.

Train, any chance of hangman? Interested to see if anyone will get mine 

[Crow]

the thing is, i go out of my way to avoid stepping on toes with my entries so it really bothers me when someone doesn't extend the same courtesy 
especially with a band that i'm pretty sure i singlehandedly introduced to dtf culture, but w/e

Well I'm new enough around here for people not to know if they are stepping on my toes and I'm not familiar enough with others tastes to know if I'm stepping on their toes. To be fair I heard of OoS via Ne Obliviscaris's Facebook page when they linked the video for Winter after announcing they were touring with them. I LOVED it on first listen but it wasn't until after that I realised it was one of the albums I kept seeing mentioned on the "What Album are you Listening to" thread, after that I did realise it was a band you pimped.

However as you hadn't sent them early on I thought maybe you had thought it wouldn't be to Trains tastes or something.

No offence meant dude 

[Crow]

tbh i'm just being salty anyways, you should join my mini-roulette when it starts up (probably next week if splent gets his round 10 results up)

I'll be up for it, pretty sure I can find some out there stuff for you. You don't seem too easy to please but I like a challenge, it might make it easier if I assume you will hate everything I send

Once you send something in the roulette, it's free game as far as I'm concerned, so no offense but you can stick this courtesy up your ass or something. Speaking of that, I really wonder why no one's sending David Gilmour in the roulettes, his songs usually get some favourable write-ups/scores.

Anyway, thankfully your entries are usually so shitty weird and not up my alley you've got nothing to worry about.

I go for something in between these two. Like, yes, I agree it's always fair game, but I also try not to be annoying about it. Like I probably wouldn't send David Maxim Micic in a roulette that had Sacul in it. I think popular bands are much more "fair game" than personal favorites.

I also think that late in a roulette it's much more of anything goes. Like, I remember I sent Lorde once in a roulette that Parama was in, but that wasn't until round 6 or later, after I'd given a lot of time for him to send it.



Just sent something with a bonus! Hopefully you like it and I'm set up nicely for a final push next round, for which I have a bit of an epic teed up (so long as no one bogarts my artist, in which case who knows what I'll do).

[Scorpion]

So, I sent for my final bonus this round, and apparently I sent the band that ToN was hoping to get when creating that particular bonus - so unless hopes and reality are supremely at odds, then that should be a good sign.

I was mostly just fucking with Parama at this point.

Seriously though, I try to avoid being annoying with it except for the instances when I feel I more or less know the person in question and they won't be offended by my choice (mostly happened with Chad). But sometimes I just send something on a whim (like I did with Bodies of Water in mike's).

But hey, I probably won't send David Maxim Micic in the roulettes for the same reasons I won't send Native Construct in the roulettes.

[Scorpion]

You are allergic to actually sending good music, is that the reason?

i think you sent Lorde after I was cut from a roulette 

also evermind, i don't think i'd ever send a single thing you've sent in roulettes, aside from bodies of water ofc
