So I'm gonna go ahead and finish this now. My workweek is gonna hit high gear through next Monday, so I don't think I'll have time to post later, and honestly, I don't think any more listening will change the standings...
Jingle- Alithia- To The Edge Of Time- Decent enough, with some outstanding instrumental work, but the vocalist just didn't really click for some unexplainable reason.
Tom- Brand New- The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me- Very powerful, a certain grower with some serious chops, but for me it just hung on a dark and needlessly morbid feel.
Elite- Wilderun- Sleep at the Edge of Earth- Someone was paying attention, or managed to see how much I spun Gloryhammer on Spotify lol. A nice blend of folk, symphonic, and hard, without getting generic, this album kept fresh throughout. And for me, the one thing that really makes it stand out, when I'm driving, this is the one I want blaring with the windows down. And in the end, it's how it makes me feel that really counts.
And our winner is Elite!!! Congrats man, and a huge thank you to all the players, I had a blast. It was really nice to dig back into the roulette game. I'm always amazed at how much great music is out there, there were no really bad songs in this thing, just good and great.
