7/10, can’t update now but Sacul, Kattelox and Elite are wrong

King Puppies and the Acid Guppies · « **Reply #526 on:** February 10, 2020, 01:00:44 AM »

Katt sent Arcturus
Elite sent Swans
Sacul sent Gorillaz

Crow · « **Reply #527 on:** February 10, 2020, 01:01:30 AM »

dacul not being the one to send swans is genuinely surprising
in hindsight i think empire ants probably deserved a 5* in my last roulette too. that one was already borderline and it's one of the songs i remember most from the roulette too so

I would never send gorillaz

But I could see you sending gorillas

Buddyhunter1 · « **Reply #531 on:** February 10, 2020, 08:42:29 AM »

I sent Empire Ants

(good choice though)

oh they're 100% nazis

Buddyhunter1 · « **Reply #533 on:** February 10, 2020, 08:56:45 AM »

Yeah, I try not to send bands in roulettes if I wouldn't support them due to ideological reasons. But as long as everyone involved is aware people can make their own calls, I guess.

Sacul · « **Reply #534 on:** February 10, 2020, 10:44:10 AM »

Was thinking of sending Kids with Guns or Every Planet We Reach Is Dead as well, but went with the chiller choice.

Crow · « **Reply #535 on:** February 10, 2020, 10:48:09 AM »

Empire Ants is the second best gorillaz song I've heard so

I genuinely don’t care, I’m going to review the song and not the people. But yeah to each their own

Completely different from what I expected from this band.

This song seems a bit too all over the place on first impression, let's see how it unfolds over the next few days.

A very 'okay' song on all levels.

Now that's a freaking journey.

Pretty greyt first impression

Great composition, ambitious tune, I think I like it?

Pleasant listen, but nothing that excited me all that much.

Not doing all that much for me, I think this kind of mood doesn't excite me much in this genre.

Beautiful beyond my expectations, this will definitely take more listens to fully grasp though.

Quite a lot of diversity for a band I that thought had a pretty straight-forward sound.

It feels like a pretty strong round, one of the better ones. May have a 9/10 or higher in here even! About 4 songs I'm really excited about after the first listen, 3 that I'm into and can see possibly growing on me a lot and then 3 I have a hard time seeing get out of the bottom 3 for this round.

I highly doubt the band as a whole are nazis. It's been widely know for a long time (15+ years) that Mikko Aspa has extremist political views, but first of all he isn't the song writer for the band and secondly he has never been confirmed to actually be in the band (even though everyone knows he is...)

I don't know, everyone can make up their own minds about it. The bands lyrics have nothing to do with nazis or political views of any kind, so whatever.

Crow · « **Reply #541 on:** February 10, 2020, 03:49:10 PM »

I mean they suck either way so I haven't bothered to dig that deep but 1. he is very much a nazi 2. he is very much in the band 3. the rest of the band members are okay with having him there so they're obviously okay with the nazi being in their band

Solidified my last place finish.

Train of Naught · « **Reply #543 on:** February 11, 2020, 12:33:45 AM »

On my second listen now
I got a 9 hour train/bus ride on Thursday morning so I imagine I could find the time to write up results in the train and get in 5 listens each total by then. We need more roulettes!

Yeah, Kattelox needs to start his!

I'm struggling to think of themes. I'm working on it though. Blame Richie Kotzen for dropping a 50 song album

Whew at least I can eliminate TAC early.

Crow · « **Reply #554 on:** February 12, 2020, 09:23:20 PM »

the only final fantasy i've played all the way thru was X and X-2 and i was like 12 or something when i did
XII was boring
XIV i've played but it was an MMO so i didn't get very far
i hear IX is good but man. i like modern games

7-9 are damn near unplayable in their original states these days imo especially if it's your first time. 4-6 are still really accessible though cause 16 bit era is great. 1-3 are iffy but all three suck tremendous booty in some ways

Agreed on all counts. Of course I grew up playing final fantasy, so I played all of them as they were released. I stopped at Final Fantasy X/X-2

Gonna get 2 more listens in today and hopefully post results tonight

It will, in fact, take you until tonight to listen to my song two more times
