Aight, here we are, the deathmatch results:
LizzoPaatos - Won't Be Coming Back
Seems this band is tagged as Prog on RYM, but at least this song has some pretty strong Trip hop vibes, which I dig quite a bit. Pretty lush atmosphere, its mid 2000s sound also reminds me of the Silent Hill OSTs. Great chorus here, love the mellotron and the synths overall. Although not the most original and unique song of its genre, it does the job very well.
4Zola Jesus - Siphon
Hmnnn on the one hand I like the atmosphere and dark feel of this song, but on the other I don't dig her vocal delivery, which comes across as fairly generic for Pop music. The music is pretty cool tho.
3.5Shadow Ninja 2.0And One - Steine Sind Steine
This song is pretty fun, if a little too repetitive, but since it's Synthpop it's not that bad I guess. It doesn't have much variety tho, neither on the vocals nor on the synths. So, it's just fine for me.
3.5Orville Peck - Daytona Sand
Yeah, Country / Americana sort of music is not something I understand at all, since I'm not from there, it's not part of my culture. This track is ok, with a bit of a cinematic vibe, and almost reminds me of some Indie Rock bands I can't place my finger on right now.

Congrats on avoiding death, Lizzo! Now you get to keep playing, by now
Thanks for playing, Shadow Ninja! It's great to have you back on the forum and on this roulette, I loved some of your entries and although we weren't so aligned on others, it's always fun to have you on board.
For the rest of you, send for Round 5 if you haven't already!
