To make a game of it I seem to remember going all in. Yeah, you have to keep things interesting somehow, unless the also Rams are miles away. Then I saw cut em loose

Seems like you have a case of shmegland-itis.

It was more a case of the finals in that roulette being unbalanced. In the normal rounds there was a lot of risk vs reward because you could potentially lose money. In the final, it was impossible to lose money and so there was no risk involved. There was no reason at all to not go all in, and so that's exactly what we all did.

I was... but it still didn't show up. No matter, I found a workaround.

Hopefully today... I'm clicking play this morning. Sounds like you're gonna struggle to get 5 more bands/songs?

Come on Zook, I know you got a couple Chad wouldn't know.

Wasn't that kinda the point of getting through the elimination rounds? Convince Chad you can send him the music he likes and then go on sending dubstep or anything you want when you're safe in the main competition.

Crow · « **Reply #608 on:** October 02, 2015, 12:28:34 PM »

just send him some black metal hip-hop already

On the whole, you collectively rebounded after last round's (mostly) average songs. Nothing is a real clear leader, but this is a much better crop of songs.

Three of you played your tag-team option, and for one of you, it was a good call. For the other 2, you may have "wasted" a good songs, as both songs submitted were really good.

Back to Trivium and QR. Man I'm loving both of those two albums.

TAC · « **Reply #613 on:** October 04, 2015, 07:32:23 AM »

Any growls on the Trivium?

jingle.boy · « **Reply #614 on:** October 04, 2015, 07:43:38 AM »

IIRC, a couple of brief moments, but almost totally clean. Reminds me of Redemption. Excellent album.

Hmm...I wasn't considering it. I have The Crusade and I liked that, though I haven't spun it in a couple of years. Reminded me of a modern day Testament, before Testament came back with two killer albums.

If I get the Trivium, it may push Vanden Plas off until Christmas.

TAC · « **Reply #616 on:** October 04, 2015, 12:34:02 PM »

OK, I listened to the first four songs off of the Trivium, and it's not doing it for me. $10 saved.

Crow · « **Reply #617 on:** October 04, 2015, 12:52:39 PM »

yeah this is why I listen to an album once before getting it, usually

I've never heard anything from them.

Lowdz · « **Reply #619 on:** October 04, 2015, 01:06:30 PM »

I really liked the Trivium. Quite Maiden-y in places when the instrumental sections start. And no growls. See, it can be done.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #620 on:** October 04, 2015, 04:07:56 PM »

Understood Tim. The 2nd half (imo) was much better than the last. If you can get a hold to listen to the final track, it's killer.

OK, cool. I'll check out the back half after work tomorrow.

wolfking · « **Reply #622 on:** October 05, 2015, 04:57:32 AM »

I'm listening to the Trivium for the first time. A fan since 2005, but listening with open ears.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #623 on:** October 05, 2015, 08:50:34 AM »

Expect results tomorrow night. Ranking is gonna be much harder than the last round. The margin of difference between most songs is very, VERY slim. Every song was quite enjoyable, with only a couple of tunes having any undesirable aspects.

Random thoughts:

- Different from anything else. Probably the most fun song of the round
- Really digging the instrumental section
- excellent guitar work; vocally, I was ok with it (which surprised me)
- great blend of prog/melodic metal
- Nothing wrong with it - would've definitely have floated my boat 25 years ago.
- This will unfortunately suffer from being outside my normal comfort zone that I can't rate it too high.
- tremendous solo - emotion, passion, soul - to steal a line from RJ, it could stop a bar fight.
- Loved the slow roll of the opening

I'm not sure what to expect, so I'll expect to be disappointed.

That being said, I really enjoy both of my submissions and could see you sharing in that. Maybe mine are the vocals which you were surprised to enjoy.

bl5150 · « **Reply #625 on:** October 05, 2015, 09:11:38 AM »

I'm hoping that mine is the great blend of prog and melodic metal.

Big Hath · « **Reply #626 on:** October 05, 2015, 09:26:32 AM »

mine could be one of two comments. One is good (seemingly). One is not.

Lowdz · « **Reply #627 on:** October 05, 2015, 10:58:27 AM »

Bottom one might be mine. I was agonising over whether I should send the ballad or a prog giver track. The ballad stood better on its own I thought

jjrock88 · « **Reply #628 on:** October 05, 2015, 12:19:21 PM »

I usually get the float my boat 25 years ago comments

Mine is one of these. Maybe all of them!
