Round 6: Back in Town
Big Hath: Wes Montgomery – Airegin (7.5/10)
I know of Wes, but haven't listened extensively. Solid track. Not a huge fan of the tune itself, but I can't complain about anything else. Solid playing all throughout.
senecadawg2: Sigur Rós – Svefn-g-englar (10/10)
Another Sigur Rós track. Well worth it though. I guess I'll have to fully explore their discography. This convnices me.
Nekov: Subsignal – A New Reliance(8/10)
Not that bad actually. I really enjoyed this. Given that I'm generally a fan of prog, this is a great track. Wouldn't be surprised if they had some mindblowing tracks. This wasn't one of them, but it was rock solid.
Ben_Jamin: Hybrid – Finished Symphony (6/10)
This song is way too long. That's really the only fault I can find with it. It's pretty good otherwise.
Shadow Ninja 2.0: Alexi Murdoch – Through The Glass (5/10)
Definitely not a fan of the vocal style here, but otherwise the song is OK.
kingshmegland: Umphrey's McGee – Mantis (8.5/10)
Well, the song was quite long – but I liked what I heard throughout. Definitely my style of prog.
Scorpion: Leprous – Forced Entry (8.5/10)
Well, this song forced its way into my colon. I think I've listened to this album once before, or maybe not. Doesn't matter. I heard something I haven't heard before in terms of how it violated my brain, my colon and my urethra at once.
Tyrias: The National – Ada (5/10)
Eh... I didn't really like this, did nothing for me really.
adace: Empyrium – Dead Winter Ways (5/10)
Awfully and painfully slow, but I can see why this would be appealling. It starts out very well, but once the song actually kicks off – it loses me. This time, the harsh vocals didn't really click for me either.
wolfking: Scar Symmetry – Ghost Prototype I (9.5/10)
I have only listened to a little Scar Symmetry, and it was fairly recently. This song was one of those I had listened to, but I had not really remembered it, maybe I wasn't listening with my ears wide open. I should have paid more attention, because this song is a near perfect metal song.
YtseBitsySpider: Magic Elf - Scrambledeggs (9/10)
All kinds of awesome. Can't say anything else about this.
Total Score:
senecadawg2: 50
Scorpion: 47.5
Shadow Ninja 2.0: 45.5
YtseBitsySpider: 45.5
Big Hath : 44.5
kingshmegland: 44.5

Seneca re-established his lead, and Ytse made the cut due to two awesome submissions. Because of a tie between Big Hath and kingshmegland, I'm deciding to keep them both in the competition.
To the competitors who didn't make the cut: it was fun having you guys around, and I enjoyed some of your submssions.
Allright...
Round 7: I'll keep it open. This time, you're sending two songs each. Please send within 48 hours so we can keep the pace up. I'll send out PMs too.
