Okay as part of a promise I made to myself this week this is the last update til tomorrow so good luck sussing those out. Off to listen.

[Crow]

I'm not gonna fill in the rest because they're all very feasible choices for me & I dunno which of who sent what either 

[Sacul]

Parama sent Brand New, puppies sent Frengers, tomi sent the other Mew.

[Stadler]

My predictions, having only heard a couple submissions so far: Puppies will try to claw out of his points rut, one of the top guys may or may not lose their edge, and someone from the middle will come out on top. Or will they? We'll see.

I fear that's me.  I struggled with my submittal, but ultimately went with my gut.

Ditto for me.  Both of us have keyboard heavy albums, so it'll be interesting if Kattoe prefers old, or new school.

[The Walrus]

Parama sent Brand New, puppies sent Frengers, tomi sent the other Mew.

Correct on Parama, and if you switched the Mew guesses around you'd be right  so here's the list!

(Puppies_On_Acid) Mew - And The Glass Handed Kites
(Lethean) Solefald - Norrøn livskunst
(Parama) Brand New - The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me
(Tomislav95) Mew - Frengers
(jingle.boy) Dimension Act - Manifestation of Progress
(Evermind) David Gilmour - On An Island
(ariich) Frank Turner - England Keep My Bones
(Sacul) Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool
(Stadler) Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Emerson, Lake & Palmer
(home) The Dear Hunter - Act IV

Why not both

Or neither.

[ariich]

Ariich - Frank Turner. I half cheated on this one.

How, out of interest?

[Lethean]

Ariich - Frank Turner. I half cheated on this one.

I've never heard of him, except I thought I had read the name on this forum.  So I looked him up and saw that he was from the UK, which probably isn't great guessing criteria overall, but it seemed like a clue.  Then the cheating part - I did a forum search and saw that you'd posted about him.

[ariich]

That's hardly cheating. Surely the only way to guess who sent what is by reference to what they post about on DTF?

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I was worried someone might send Frengers, which is the more universally liked Mew album. I still think And the Glass Handed Kites is better by far. 

[Crow]

and unfortunately, you're wrong 

but the tide the thief is better than in contact so katt's capable of getting it wrong anyways

[The Walrus]

In Contact freaking rules and so does TTTTARECDEHRNCVCE but In Contact is better. Parama gets 2/10 and everyone else gets eleventy/10. Send for round 4

[Sacul]

Hell yeah, here's my next submission.

ghost reveries is better than blackwater park and still life
the great misdirect is better than colors
anno domini high definition is better than second life syndrome
deadwing is better than in absentia
when dream and day unite is better than any redemption album

[Tomislav95]

anno domini high definition is better than second life syndrome
when dream and day unite is better than any redemption album

I agree on anything else. I understand you like ADHD better. But c'mon, Redemption is not that bad.

[The Walrus]

Hell yeah, here's my next submission.

This makes my eyes twitch.

Pale Communion is better than blackwater park and still life
the great misdirect is better than colors
anno domini high definition is better than second life syndrome
deadwing is better than in absentia
when dream and day unite is better than any redemption album

Fixed

[Lethean]

Hell yeah, here's my next submission.
https://youtu.be/AguPH0XBxdw

This makes my eyes twitch.

Hahaha.  And it looks like they have more than one "album?".  If someone really sent this, would you feel obligated to listen to the whole thing?

[The Walrus]

Honestly? If I hadn't just given up smoking weed, I'd probably sit and listen to the whole thing. But I could not sit through that sober.  Would I feel obligated? Sure. Would I do it? I'd probably lie.

[Crow]

i just wanna bring up again that merzbow is the 0/10 on my ratings scale 

[ariich]

ghost reveries is better than blackwater park and still life

Better than one but not the other.

the great misdirect is better than colors

On a par (both great).

anno domini high definition is better than second life syndrome

On a par (both meh).

deadwing is better than in absentia

Correct.

when dream and day unite is better than any redemption album

lol

[Lethean]

Yeah I have a feeling that's what I'd give it too...

[Lethean]

Hell yeah, here's my next submission.

Hey good for you.

[The Walrus]

Sobriety!

This is a really cool round. Only one album I'm having a hard time getting excited about, but loads of good tunes here. Tough competition.

Bold = yep
Scrolling pink underlined italics = haha react

[Lethean]

I guess you're right.  But I thought some just know what others like - from their posts sure - and guess without having to look it up.

[Lethean]

This is a really cool round. Only one album I'm having a hard time getting excited about, but loads of good tunes here. Tough competition.

. I wonder which one it could possibly be...

I really should've saved last round's results for Sunday so I could've played games with everyone's heads... drats. Who knows how this will turn out 

[Stadler]

I am so fascinated that most of you speak such fluent Chinese.

Because that's what pretty much every band and album mentioned in the last 15 posts might as well be to me.

I've heard of:  Mew, Gilmour, Radiohead and The Dear Hunter
I like: Gilmour

(By the way, this is self-deprecating; I'm not at all suggesting that any of these bands blow or anything.  Except Radiohead.  They blow.)

[Lethean]

Well I don't think that's such a big deal... I've heard of Dimension Act but not Mew, Frank Turner, or Brand New. I suspect that in the next round there will be at least a few more I haven't heard of.

I'm not listening to most of it in case people want to reuse some of these for my roulette...

[The Walrus]

Most of the names in this roulette I've never heard of before. Some I vaguely recall reading at some point but that's it. Pretty fascinating how much quality stuff is out there that I had never ever heard of, like Mystery or IQ.

[Evermind]

I've heard and own Dimension Act (great album, the epic is awesome), TDH Act IV (also like it). I've heard ELP and like it, but I don't own that one.

I love that Gilmour album, and I love Remember That Night - Live in Royal Albert Hall DVD even more. Not sure what score I'll get, but I have no regrets.

[Crow]

I've actually heard of (though not heard) every artist in this round so
