That is pretty much the entire round.

Am I missing something, or is there a reason no one sent anything from Infinity (cuz it's probably what I most enjoy from Devy).

It's probably why no one sent anything from it. ;D

What two songs were those  :lol

I went hunting because I was curious, too, and it looks like they were In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 and Welcome Home.

I can definitely understand a prog fan liking only IKSoSE3. And I guess there's a reason Welcome Home was a hit, although it was never among my favorites.

aahhh, the staples at every Coheed show. While good songs, no where near the best Coheed has to offer. But everyone has different taste so what do I know.

(fortunately or unfortunately depending on your POV), 12 songs were not available on Spotify Canada.

Devin's Canadian, so I dunno what the fuck is up with that. :lol

And I considered sending Bad Devil as that's one of his best songs, but I actually find Infinity to be one of his weakest albums overall. It's kind of a mess and not in a way I find particularly endearing.

OK, well there's still songs and impressions that need to be paired.

The impression for my other song is one of them that you haven't paired yet.

Did I get it right?

You have to match your song, Suicide, with one of the impressions.

i also considered bad devil and might be regretting not sending that come results idk

ariich

Likewise I also considered Bad Devil. :lol It was between that and Vampira for the fun metal side I wanted to include, and I felt that Bad Devil might be a bit on the wacky/quirky side for Tim.

I agree with Buddy that Infinity is a messy album, but unlike Buddy that doesn't bother me too much and I still think it's great overall.

Bad Devil was one of the first DT songs I ever heard (live, with AVG, on ProgNation at Sea).  So much fucking fun.

Just checked Bad Devil.

You made the right choice.

OK, here's the second grouping of First Impressions..


Not sure the Live version really adds much but it's still cool.[Kingdom (Live)-Romdrums]

Really cool rhythm guitar to start. Quite a bit of variety for a song this length.[Planet Smasher-Kwijibo]

Kind of hectic, even a bit monotonous. Nice drum patterns near the end.[Skesis-Buddy]

The chorus is the best part of this, Love the ending too..[Supercrush!-Lonestar]

Great opening guitar! Not a fan of Mid Tempo, but it works here.[Deadhead-LudwigVan, Puppies]

Sounds like from a play or something. Almost choral in parts.[Sumeria-Cyril]

Driving tune with a steady beat. Might be too driving and too steady though.[Regulator-Elite]

The first half was amazing, almost Styx-ish, but it peters out by the end.[Stormbending-Kingshmegland]

A very nice and simple tune. A nice change from the noise. But is it good enough?[Life-VMadera, HOF]

Feels like there should be some animation to go with this.[March Of The Poozers-Evermind]

This song is some heavy duty shit. Deep track that will need more listens.[Suicide-Professor]

My name is mud. Not to be confused with Bill or Jack or Steve[Love?-Wolfking]

Totally enhances the studio version[Deep Peace (Live)-Stadler]

Love the vocals in this song. Really cool rhythm guitars too.[Vampira-Ariich]

My first impression is that you cannot give a first impression with just one listen. This song is loaded.[Higher-425]

My Name Is Mud is a reference to a Primus song. Love? made me think of it. Though yes, I feel like SYL would be my least favorite Devin Era.

Roulette Progress Report!


Spent yesterday (my day off) making headway in this round. I have writeups pretty much eked out, and I am working on song rankings. I have a top to bottom list of songs, and there's still a little jockeying for position. Except for a couple of tunes, the huge majority of songs gets better with each listen.


I have heard of Anneke Van Giersbergen, but I've never actually heard her. I didn't realize that she's had a long relationship singing with Devin. A couple of you sent songs that featured her and I must say that was a stealth move. I spent a lot of last night watching live footage of her with Devin and DAMN! Spectacular. Makes me want to have an Anneke Round.


It has come to my attention that there's not a ton of Neal Morse on Spotify. I can't handle 25-30 youtube links. Are there any Neal Morse experts that have all of his stuff that could make me a playlist?
