Alright, that's quite a batch of songs you guys have sent me for this round. I don't think I was able to grasp the whole awesomeness of some of those from just one listen — I will definitely need a few more spins to properly rank all the stuff — but there are definitely some gems there. Still, that's a lot of music I have to go through this round, so the results will be posted at Friday evening instead of Thursday. I know, that's not very nice news, but I want to be able to give all the songs a proper attention and with those song lengths I will need a lot of time for that. Hope you understand. Anyway, have a look at the ranking and the first thoughts!
This time you get the whole ranking scale, though of course it will change over the next few spins. Lots of good songs, few duds, as always. Anyway, one of the strongest rounds for sure! Here we go:
3.5 - 5 - 6.5 - 7 - 7.5 - 7.5 - 7.5 - 8 - 8.5 - 8.5 - 8.5 - 9 (and that actually means that repeated song got either 7.5 or 8.5, at least now)
And the first thoughts, here they are:
Hahaha, damn, man, what a cover art.
This is basically my biggest problem with the long songs, if I feel they’re not cohesive, and if they are more like the collection of a few other songs, I can’t give them a good score because I simply don’t enjoy them a lot. The jarring, weird transitions can ruin the song for me, and while it doesn’t happen there, I do think the song is disjointed. Perhaps the next few listens will fix that.
The ending kind of reminds me of that Headspace song RJ sent me in Round 3, and overall this tune is quite impressive.
When those female vocals appear, this song turns out into a total bliss though. What a beautiful part! I want to repeat this part over and over, simply magnificent stuff.
Sorry about swearing, but hell, what the fuck is this?
And the one for a track that got a nine:
This was a total pleasure to listen to, and while it doesn’t have some sky-high quality moments of awesomeness, this tune just so solid all the way through, and it’s so enjoyable I want to spin this over and over. I think your song wins this round so far, though I guess the other tunes will grow on me after the next few listens too, so that'll be hell of a competition.
