Sorry guise.. it's taken a while. But whatever, here we go:
Round 9: …. wtf? Seneca loses out on top 3 spot!Big Hath:Bill Evans – Gloria's Step(8.5/10)How can I not have any plays on last.fm? Dunno. Been watching his stuff on YT and stuff before, and I know he's brilliant. Haven't listened extensively, but will have to after this. Amazing track.
Gru - Stellar (9/10)”atmospheric space-djent”. Fitting description. I love every bit of this.
senecadawg2:Ludovico Einaudi - Oltremare(8/10)Beautiful track. Can't say anything else about it.
Journey – Of A Lifetime(7/10)I know Journey has done some great stuff, but haven't listened too much. This is certainly not like the hits they produced. This is entirely different, but honestly not that much better. It's still good, but not my style of prog so to speak.
Shadow Ninja 2.0:Killer Be Killed – Wings Of Feather And Wax(7.5/10)Pretty good rocking track. Nothing special about it IMHO, but it was solid.
Devil Doll - Mr Doctor(3.5/10)Ehhhh.... Just was not into this at all. Vocals threw me off too. Sorry about that... lol.
kingshmegland:Druckfarben - Another Day
(8/10)Very solid prog. A lot happened in the song even though it was only 5-6 minutes long, and I like that they didn't make this longer than it had to be too. Loving most of the ideas presented.
Anubis - Blood is Thicker than Common Sense
(9/10)More solid prog, and this song is way more up my alley. Man this is a good track. Can't really say much else.
Scorpion: Enslaved - Forsaken(8/10)Trippy in many ways. Not a fan of the harsh vocals in the track, but the song progresses and drifts into something awesome. Very good track.
Novembre - Nothijngrad (9.5/10)I really find this track enjoyable. The song reached epic heights about half-way into the song. Eargasmic heights when the heavy riff kicks in on top of the riff already there. +1 for that.
YtseBitsySpider: Nonexist – From My Cold Dead Hands(8.5/10)Yes! The mellow part was gold, the heavy parts were great too. The only weaker part was the opening. Overall, very well received death metal song from me.
DGM – Reason (9/10)Holy smokes, lately you've been killing this roulette. Started out weak, but man, you're delivering. Brilliant heavy track, can't find any fault in it. Loving the Symphony X feel so hard.
Total Score:Scorpion: 98.5
Big Hath : 96.5
YtseBitsySpider: 95
______________
senecadawg2: 93
kingshmegland: 91.5
Shadow Ninja 2.0: 84
Didn't expect this to happen, but some other people just killed it, and this is the first time out of all the rounds seneca is out of the top 3. Shit happens though.
To all contestants who are out: It was great having you around. Yes, even you Shadow, despite your lackluster last few rounds
.
Round 10: 2 Albums from each of the top 3 guys now. I will rate them both /10, with +1's for exceptional tracks. The one with the highest score out of you three will win, resetting the points now to 0.
Good luck!
