I mean, who else but Tim was going to win the Winger roulette? He can't escape his destiny.

I’m trying to feel good about this and that doesn’t help.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

See the picture, you already had it.  It was just so good you don't remember.  You died and went to heaven!

Oh yeah. I told him I was seventeen and you know what he said…

There were elements of everyone's submissions in one way or another.  Was more than happy having every one of you on board.

Fascinating, how close was Inferi to being picked?  Good thing I went with Quo Vadis for the wildcard, I was almost considering picking something almost entirely different just to try it, but decided to stick with my guns this time.  So I guess consistency did pay off relatively well, even though I could never get that coveted 9.0+ unadjusted. 

Definitely check out more stuff from Quo Vadis though, especially since they tied for my highest raw score.  "Silence Calls the Storm" is probably my favorite on the album and a fall semester anthem for me, though it's lighter on guitar soloing, so it felt riskier.  "Dead Man's Diary" is another favorite, especially for the bass work.  And their previous album has "Shores of Ithika", which TAC liked and seems to be a fan favorite. 

If you run another one I'll have to decide whether to go for a different strategy, since this one seemed to land you a bunch of stuff you moderately liked, but nothing you thoroughly loved.  Fascinating since I didn't have to worry as much about tunings and excessively harsh vocals so much like I do in TAC's.  :p  Anyway, I have a ton of other different things I could have sent, but I suspect it'd have been higher variance and there'd have been a few total duds.  Dunno if that would have been better even if I'd pulled off some higher-scoring ones.  On one hand you give off a vibe of being set in your ways musically, but also seem to be developing an interest in some things I can't quite put my finger on yet, maybe I'll have a better idea by next time. 

Anyway, thanks for having me, it was fun.

Wasn't really close at all.  Quo Vadis easily.  Great band, will check out for sure.  Thanks for playing Josh, not sure when my next one will be but of course you'll be involved.  :metal

Cheers Kade. A damn good roulette that I actually would've had a shot at winning if I didn't fuck up the first two rounds.

Make sure you check out Hooded Menace's latest album, it's well worth it. Also looking forward to you exploring Enslaved further. If only someone was running a discography thread.

That's where he won it.  There are other submissions from yourself and a couple of others that interested me a little more than a lot of Tim's but being ultra consistent just made it hard.  Besides a meh first round from him, everything else was in the pocket.

Thanks for playing Ruslan.

Thanks Luke, nice storm home.  I can't remember if I asked but what' the best couple of Enslaved albums to start with?

If someone were running a thread I'd probably be able to answer that myself by now!

Enslaved haven't released a bad album, but there are a lot of them. Basically their 90s albums are more straightforward black metal, but by the turn of the century they started to add more progressive elements to their sound.

Neogenesis is on Isa, so you could start there and then work your way forwards to their latest. If you have the time, you could start with Monumension and work your way forwards, but the run from Isa to E is pretty consistently epic in my opinion. Personally I think they dropped off slightly with Utgard and Heimdal, but those albums are by no means bad.

Isa is where I started. I talked about that at great length in the OP in my Enslaved thread. I'm hoping to get that going again, but I've been crazy busy. Lately my schedule has been, wakeup-eat breakfast-work-eat dinner-go to bed...

Honestly, I'm starting to see Wolfie's point with her.  I kind of get the criticism.  I love me some cheese, but that is just too... over the top.

It's not even the cheese that's the problem. It's the fact she is not a good singer and the music is so over the top bland and boring.
