Important Note:
I modified the subject line... from now on, this is a chat thread, too... lol.... no can complain about derailment.... :xbones
I'm putting every info in the OP... also painting the important inputs blue.... so that's the bits you need to pay attention to.... so that shouldn't be a problem!
PS: Please include song & artist name in your messages and Round number & you user ID in the subject line... Many thanks....
Welcome
Hey finally we are doing this.. YAY..
I am totally psyched by the number and quality of my players… Thank you all in advance.
The Hall of the Dead, The Elysium Fields & River of Lost Souls
First off, all the players will be welcomed into the Hall by the revered souls who have been preparing to look after you all throughout your journey and an Ice Breaker session will be held right after…
Since I have quite lot of guests in the Hall, I’ll keep observing you and eliminate players until I narrow it down to a reasonable number… I’m guessing it‘ll be 2 or 3 rounds. Those who get kicked their arses out of the Hall by the Demons will be thrown into the River of Lost Souls while we the Blessed Dead, make our way to the Elysium Fields…
Not to worry too much about being sent to the depths of the boiling chasm of eternal suffering that is the River though… There will be just be some torturing and eternal darkness peppered with an insatiable yearning for the warmth of life but at least you will be able to hear the music of obscure channel as a distant light of hope at the edge of your hearing. The aspirants who are striving to reserve a spot in the Elysium Fields and who were keeping their best shot to later rounds will be given another chance… I’ve always believed that determination and persistence should be rewarded! So does the Ferryman!
Those who can't come back after their second chance, will always be another chance... if they send me a belly-dancing video of themselves, they will be let back in the game.. and will be given 4 points for the each round they missed :biggrin:
I'm happy to explain again and again.. as long as you want to make it back to the game
here's the deal: you'll be back in the game when you impress me with a song.... you're not tied to any theme or genre... free as a bird... I'll give you 3 silver pennies (and maybe some extra depending on the level of satisfaction) for each round that you missed... or in other words... there's miracle for each day that you try... there's a new love that's born for each one that has died
so anyways... the earlier the better... but of course when you're ready...
otherwise the only way back is giving me the belly-dance performance
What those need to do is monitoring my judgements and sending along their best shots… do it when you think you have a feel for my taste… surprise me... be creative… spice it up… convince me! And ta-dah you’re back on the Ferry… When someone comes back into the action after some torture time in the nefarious River of Lost Souls, they will be considered to have accumulated 3 silver pennies per round missed.
Scoring:
1-6 silver pennies.
Contrary to the beliefs of the living, the price you pay to the Ferryman is not just two pennies. As with everything, an open economy with its own commodity market prevails in the Land of the Dead.
So the highest paying Souls will be allowed on the Ferry by the Ferryman. But I want the Saved Souls at the Elysium Fields to feel ‘in’ the game all the time so there will be +1 and +2 bonus pennies whenever you happen to impress me by any particular aspect of the song you send, the explanation you make, a feeling you touch or an interesting photo you provide me with :P
I will always be transparent and justify bonus pennies. These pennies will be used to buy larger estates available to souls in the Elysium Fields later on.
How to send songs?
I prefer emails… as it will allow me to listen to your songs during my vacation when I’m not in front of a PC or when I’m at work … So the chances are I’m gonna listen to these more than the others… Spotify is the second best… It’s the digital service I use the most and I like the sound quality…Grooveshark is cool, too… so are the Youtube links. If you are sending a video or a live performance, it might help you to send the studio version as well… I sometimes tend to like one better than the other even though it’s completely the same song…
Please post on the thread to remind yourselves that you sent the song and try not to ask me whether you did. You’re almost 30 people for heaven’s sake: P
When to send songs?
Under normal circumstances, I will accept songs in rounds… will announce new themes right after or along with the results… ‘Special round’ is an exception to this rule.
Timing:
I will try my best to keep it going on a reasonable pace as the experience shows that the relation between the pace of the roulette and the fun being had is a very close one… Unless there happens to be an emergency/something that I cannot ignore in my private life or at work, roulette will not be interrupted. If anything like that does happen, I’d like to apologise in advance.
I believe 2 days is an acceptable period for sending in a song after the new theme is revealed. However, since we all live in different time zones, I will add a little bit to this and announce a deadline for each round. (you've got more time for the first two rounds) I request you to send the songs within those deadlines… if someone fails to send theirs on time, I will announce the new theme right away so that those who sent on time can start searching for new songs. I don’t think I’ll be able to send out PMs to remind those being a bit tardy that round. Late submissions will have one of their pennies taken back. With more tardiness there will be more fees. Extreme tardiness will result in a demon sweeping down onto the peaceful Elysium Fields, snatching the offending soul and dropping them into the freezing and yet boiling depths of the River. After that, the poor soul in question will have to work harder if they want to get back to the party at the Elysium Fields. I’ll judge as my eyes see, I’ll judge and I’ll be just ;)
Last FM;
me: https://www.lastfm.com.tr/user/obscure5555
The fact that I’m a much disorganized, messy and a greedy girl has its reflection on my music taste. It basically spreads over a really wide range in an irregular and untidy way. I love researching, discovering new bands; but I tend to jump from band to band without having checked out the entire discography (except for some bands of course) which in turn causes me to overlook some good stuff even by my fave bands... So feel free to expose me to your own taste and knowledge about any band even though they are on my list (if you must)… Should you send something I’m familiar with, I’ll let you know… But if you’re picking band from my list, please check with me early on to avoid any delays as you will have to keep looking for a song for that round :)
Even though Last FM tells me that my taste focuses on certain stuff, I might surprise you with what I might and might not like. Feel free to be brave, take risks and to yell at me when I don’t like the songs you dig …lol….
I believe Last FM info is a good start to understand my taste but I will tell you something I’ve never told anyone before; I tend to like a tad heavy: P
I usually pay more attention to the music than to the lyrics. However, of course if the lyrics are very impressive, I would be impressed as well. If you think your submission has that certain lyric edge, don’t forget to claim another silver penny and tell me why those lyrics should impress me. Otherwise, I might not pay attention… if they do trick I will give you the penny you claim.
Live performances are cool as long as the recording is clean.
There won’t be any time limits to the songs at any time of this roulette. I’m happy to listen to a 21 minute long epic…
For those who haven’t got the slightest idea bout my taste…. My all-time favourites are DT, Pink Floyd, Megadeth, Iced Earth… and some others…
Most frequent spins lately: Enbound, Vanden Plas, Leprous….
Themes:
The first two rounds will be open… I will keep the rounds quite broad to enable you to send the songs you think I’d dig.
You might want to focus on the instruments and genres for rounds… To give you an idea for instance; l might ask for a song or a band which you dig for its vocals or one particular instrument or a player… Send me the song and then tell me what you like about it…. For this round I will only judge for that particular part… If it’s an impressive song overall, it’s a bonus… You might get another penny or two from me depending on the effect song has on me.
There will most probably be an instrumental round as I love them…
There won’t be any happy round…so relax… lol…
Well now… you haven’t got any reason to fall behind with the schedule as I revealed my themes for most of the rounds…
Special Round
But there will be one slightly difficult round:
The thing that makes it difficult is the fact that it will be relatively more specific theme. Since I know that almost nobody likes specific rounds, I am giving you the theme right in the beginning and will accept the songs all throughout the roulette to ease your pain … so you’ll have plenty of time to find me some decent stuff… just don’t forget to tell me which song is meant for this round (in the subject line)….
What makes this one difficult is my taste… As you might have seen many times over from my posts, I am not a ballad person. They tend to take more time to grow on me… However, there are ones that really shake me to my very core… For me to like those, there has to be something special with them. When it is a ballad, I pay more attention to lyrics for instance. It has to have some magical riff, a special solo, melody,… something…
Can you find me that song? Let it hurt me; make me feel like I swallowed a dozen butterflies; make me fall head over heels in love with the song. In brief, let it make me feel something…
Since I want to reward effort, this will be a double point round… I will assess these at the end… so it will be worth to invest time and effort in it.
Here is a list of songs that fit this bill:
Dream Theater – Misunderstood
Rush – Jacob’s Ladder (dat amazing solo)
MSG – When you’re gone
Vanden Plas – Phoenix (yeah... it's a ballad for me ;D)
Well there’s loads of others but I have to keep them for the future roulettes I’m gonna play….
Hope these help…
Band round:
On this round which will take place down the line, I will expect you to introduce a new band to me… You’re allowed to send as many songs as you want by that band. If you are confident with one song only, feel free to shoot a single bullet… but if you think it might take me couple of GOOD songs to get into the band, then I’d kindly rec you to send at least a few… if you send too many, I’ll stop listening when I think I get the idea… or hopefully can’t help myself but listen to all…. I won’t review and reveal the songs for this round but only the bands I was suggested.
Review:
There won’t be any reviews for the first 2, maybe even 3 rounds, depending on whether we get to a manageable number of people… unless I feel like doing so for a special song…
tl;dr send me songs and let’s have fun bitches :P
Good luck to y’all!

:obscure:
e-mail address: senemcakir5@gmail.com (going to the sig along with Last FM) ;)
I'm receiving songs from bands I'm familiar with ..... my incomplete Last Fm is causing the confusion.. I love Tool, familiar with PoS and I'm sure there's loads of others.... .... Can those who have the chance take a look at my FB and Spotify account too? But I'm more than happy to ask for new songs... just to save you some time, you know....
(https://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu51/senemn/roundschart-1.png)
Round 5 - Album Review
first of all... for this round, I'm not looking for something new.... (if you send sth new, that's a bonus... provided that I like it) if you want to play safe go for sth from my last FM...
since review write-up is a pain in the neck when you're doing everything from scratch, I'm guessing you might want to go for a band you like too...
regarding the songs... I'd like to hear the whole album... without hearing the whole thing, my experience would be incomplete... Under normal conditions, you don't need to send me anything.... I don't mind buying the albums (ITunes) you review... I pay shit loads of money for music anyway... if I can't reach them, then I might ask for help! BUT.. if you think that there are some tracks that stand out, please let me know... and either provide me with links or send me mp3s....
You're totally free in terms of style... if you want to do it song by song... cool... if you just want to give me an overall idea, that's fine too... you can send me an essay about why this album is special... why I should pay attention to it.... all is fine really....
regarding your rating question... well ... to be totally honest with you.. I haven't got any scientific method... I'll just go with the whole feeling... if you write an awesome review about a band I don't care about, the scoring might disappoint you... that's why you're allowed to pick a band form my Last FM.... so you might wanna pay attention to the genre.... and that's why I limited the genre with Prog and metal.... I tend to like pretty much everything.... and here's a clue: for me vocals are the key... I LOVE male vocals that seem to be in the female range....
I don't think it's very likely but if more than one players choose the same album.. I'll use the 'first come first saved' basis....
We're down to 15 players for now.. it won't be less but if an ex-player wants back in and satisfies my ears, they will be let back in....
Round 5
Guys... if you're not sure of the band that you'll review... feel free to check with me....
Well the first three rounds are serving as a 'player selection' rounds... I am gaining a feel for 'who can give me the stuff I might dig'.. so I didn't care too much about the bands I'm aware of....
but after this round my Last FM bands will be off-limits... unless I say otherwise otherwise I won't get to know much new stuff
there will be a round though, that you'll be able to send me anything... as long as they are prog or metal... or preferably both.. or in a perfect world, prog-power metal
that would truly be my heaven....
First of all I want to let you know that I had to reject some songs... I know how it feels to want to get someone into the band you love... but there are some bands that I think I’ve given a fair chance but never could do the trick for me.... So.... No more Pain of Salvation ... No more Opeth please... feel free to send those in addition to your actual submissions... I’d appreciate that... You might also wanna avoid sumbitting The Dear Hunter and Mars Volta... I don’t want you to hate me after this roulette but again, reccommending me songs by these bands is always appreciated.... Who want to miss on great songs??..
-
Let's GET IT ON!!! I'll work on a song this weekend!!
-
Rock on! I'll be sending shortly.
On another notice, throughout the whole text I read penises instead of pennies :P
-
I've sent now. Hopefully it works as intended.
-
could i still possibly join in? I miss being in roulettes
-
Let's GET IT ON!!! I'll work on a song this weekend!!

On another notice, throughout the whole text I read penises instead of pennies :P

-
What format can we send to email? I have my entire music collection in AAC format (iPod), and I can convert it if I have to, but if not that would be great.
I have too many choices in what to send :(
-
AAC is fine.... although I prefer mp3...
I have too many choices in what to send :(
cool.. hope you survive long!
-
sent an obscure band to start. I'm clever.
-
obscure song has been received Mason.... cheers :tup
-
Song sent. Also regarding the special round, how are Misunderstood and Jacob's Ladder ballads? I'm confused
-
on obscure's scale they are.... well aren't they anyway?

-
Song is sent, I'm Flannel_basterd@yahoo.com by the way...I should have remembered to specify who I was in my email x)

I keep seeing the title and thinking this is a hipster roulette. You know, it's obscure. Probably haven't heard of it before.
-
lolwut?
-
lolwut?
I'm just tired. I can't even blame the booze on that post. :P
-
:lol :heart
-
So with the first two rounds being open we are trying to send you something you haven't heard before but that you still may like?
-
sounds about right :)
-
LOL, now remember this is my first time you may have to walk me through a few moves before I reach my full stroke. Be gentle!
-
Cool stuff, sounds like fun. I'll send a song tonight.
-
Is it cool if I just give you my song in person next week? :biggrin:
-
on obscure's scale they are.... well aren't they anyway?
Well, The Silent Man I call a ballad, same for Hollow Years but Misunderstood falls a little far from those. Guess it's just different points of view.
-
As Chris deBurg said....."don't pay the ferry man until he gets you to the other side"
-
Nice stuff, that OP. Sending mine shortly, most likely by tomorrow night or on Monday. I'm not behind my own computer at the moment, so I don't have my music collection near.
-
Glad that you like the OP guys... I told you it's gonna be fun :)
RJ, that sounds awesome hun :caffeine:
first timers will be well taken care of... no worries :laugh:
-
Well this roulette is challenging already, Turkish last.fm !!!!
LoL
-
I have sent my song. I hope I have done everything correctly. Otherwise, just shoot me.
PS. please don't shoot me.
-
My Rd. 1 entry is complete :)
-
I have sent my song. I hope I have done everything correctly. Otherwise, just shoot me.
PS. please don't shoot me.
We're already dead according to the OP. And I'm the one who shoots everyone.
-
Yes, If I wasn't nervous enough before it certainly helped to read that "There will be just be some torturing and eternal darkness peppered with an insatiable yearning for the warmth of life" if we make a misstep.... :lol
-
Sent!
-
I have sent my song. I hope I have done everything correctly. Otherwise, just shoot me.

-
Sent by Spotify!
-
I still have no fucking idea what to send. :zeltar:
-

-
I had a couple songs picked out, but after reading the original post, coming out of left field seems like a stupid tactic. I'll have tot think about what I chose.
-
yorost, do me a favour and take a screen shot 4 posts later and send it along with the song... pretty please....
-
yorost, do me a favour and take a screen shot 4 posts later and send it along with the song... pretty please....

-
People are sending another song already? Am I supposed to have sent two by now?
Hush young one. Read the op. if you'd like to send songs in advance
on the predetermined themed rounds, then fine. BUT she did say she was weeding some people early. So you or I may not even be around for the ballad round.
-
Sent my song!
-
Hope my song was received.
Loved the tale in your OP.
-

You only wish that was happening with your f2f rendezvous!
-
So many contestants.
Bigger write-ups.
-
Just want to state that I'm not a contender. I've sent something, for the hell of it. Hope I've used the right adress though. :huh:
ok?

As Bootsauce said, (though I think it's a cover and someone said it before them)
"Everyone's a winner baby that's the truth!"
-
Song sent. Let me know if it didn't send properly so I can try to resend.
-
Hope my song was received.
Loved the tale in your OP.

-
We need pics from this epic meeting.
-
We need dirty pics from this epic meeting.
FTFY
-
Oh you guys.
-
I think its a sad state that it took someone else almost 2 years to go to Lonestar's restaurant...and that they had to travel from another continent.
-
Well it doesn't really help that the closest DTFers are all at points in their lives where such an excursion probably ain't feasible:
JayOctavarium: Living with an ex-girlfriend or at least was pretty recently. Not the mark of someone with a lot of wiggle room in the finances.
Cup: Only 16 and kept under the iron fist rule of his grandparents or mother (forgot which, but he seems to have to put up with some arbitrarily unjust sheltering.)
Sigz: May still be in college which can make the schedule tough to work around and most college students don't have bursting wallets anyway.
bosk: He has no excuse since he's already in a steady career. I say we draw and quarter that schmuck.
-
I think its a sad state that it took someone else almost 2 years to go to Lonestar's restaurant...and that they had to travel from another continent.
Where does she state she's going to his hotel?
Last time I was in SF, was almost 2 years ago, before I had returned regularly to the board and knew of the chef. Unfortunately, in my current role at my company, I don't have a need to be in SF. If/when I do again, I'm going to demand my "best meal ever"
-
Yeah, but I also remember someone posting a pic of themselves at the Golden Gate bridge.
-
We stayed in the City, she never made it to my restaurant, though I did point it out to her from across the bay. I did have the pleasure of introducing her to dungeness crab and white truffle fries though.
-
Wait, is this a song roulette or is it Lonestar and Obscure Go On A Date?
-
it's my thread hun... easy.....
you guys have sent some fcked up shit..damn....
-
Ballad sent, enjoy.

So do I send a song even though I'm rivered?
-
You can hun....
Not to worry too much about being sent to the depths of the boiling chasm of eternal suffering that is the River though… There will be just be some torturing and eternal darkness peppered with an insatiable yearning for the warmth of life but at least you will be able to hear the music of obscure channel as a distant light of hope at the edge of your hearing. The aspirants who are striving to reserve a spot in the Elysium Fields and who were keeping their best shot to later rounds will be given another chance… I’ve always believed that determination and persistence should be rewarded! So does the Ferryman!
What those need to do is monitoring my judgements and sending along their best shots… do it when you think you have a feel for my taste… surprise me... be creative… spice it up… convince me! And ta-dah you’re back on the Ferry… When someone comes back into the action after some torture time in the nefarious River of Lost Souls, they will be considered to have accumulated 3 silver pennies per round missed.
-
Woops. My bad. :lol
-
Hey no worries.. it's a complicated OP anyway...... :lol
I forgot to put sth in the OP....
Those who can't come back after their second chance, will always be another chance... if they send me a belly-dancing video of themselves, they will be let back in the game.. and will be given 4 points for the each round they missed :biggrin:
-

Shit babe, if I start swinging my belly around, I might never be able to stop it.
-
:rollin :rollin :rollin
wanna see!!!!!
-
Maybe next time you're in town. :biggrin:
-
another good reason to come back and see you ! :)
-
Yay! I´m through! (now how to proceed next?) :justjen
-
Cool to see that I made it through to the next round. :)
Assuming I've understood things right, next round is open? Just sent a song. If there is any problem with it or you haven't gotten the mail, just write something so I know. :lol
Hope you'll like it!

Hell If I start swinging my belly, it will kill millions. So I'll work on the second song today. Already sent the ballad.
-
Song sent. And I went with a balad as well this time....we´ll make you swoon yet! :yarr
-
yes... make me swoon over the songs.....
loving this....
-
Sent a new pick, hopefully this one is okay. Otherwise it's just changing again. ;)
-
Cool :tup ;)
edit: I'm receiving songs from bands I'm familiar with ..... my incomplete Last Fm is causing the confusion.. I love Tool, familiar with PoS and I'm sure there's loads of others.... .... Can those who have the chance take a look at my FB and Spotify account too? But I'm more than happy to ask for new songs... just to save you some time, you know....
-
So, I'm in the 'second chance' round. What does this mean?
When do we have to send the songs?
-
Whenever you feel ready hun... I'll give you 3 silver pennies for each round you missed.....
-
Sent a third one now. :biggrin:
-
now wait for the scoring luv ;)
-
Is it ok if I delve into a bit of a back catalogue? Maybe a classic 80's song?
-
Man, your scrolling signature was a pain to try and copy/paste your email address!
Anyway, song sent. Have a good flight home.
-
Is it ok if I delve into a bit of a back catalogue? Maybe a classic 80's song?
I hop so, I'm thinking of sending a song from the 60's.
-
Sent.
-
I'd just like everyone below me to know they lost to C-pop. :D
I never would have thought to send Frameshift, but that's a great album, especially for JLB.
-
You can send me any song from any year you want... go for it.....
Jboy, my dear, my e-mail address is also in the OP.... ;)
-
Decided against my idea of sending you a song from 1927 (the band, not the year) and have now probably sent you the worst song ever.
Vale my participation in this contest. :'(
-
lol.. thanks hun.. received the song ;)
-
Sent.
-
coolio...
-
Round 2 sent by Spotify!!
-
Submitted round 2, but only a youtube link. I'll see if I can get you an mp3 in the next day or so. How long do we have?
-
Just to double check, round 2 is the ballad round is it?
-
lol this roulette is so confusing
-
lol this roulette is so confusing
I know. The OP says nothing about a ballad round, and I'd read through the whole rest of the thread, but it's 5 pages already!
-
Next round is open... Ballad round is the final round... But you can send it whenever you want....
l'll be flying for the next 18 hours... But I'll check in whenever I can, to see if all is cool...
Deadline is the 28th...
-
I'm a lil confused to. I recall round one was an "anything goes" round but what's the round we're on now?
-
Round 2 is also an open round.
-
I am starting to think that I should have sent Anything Goes from the Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom soundtrack.
-
:lol
-
Wow! Just got home from a road-trip weekend to see the results. Very glad you enjoyed the song I sent for round 1. Second guessed myself a few times before sending that one in. Hopefully I'll manage to find a few more you like so I don't end up having to torture anyone with my own belly-dancing to get back in the game :p
-
I wouldn't mind seeing some belly-dancing from you guys.... but I have to say ... I have high hopes WebRaider.... hope you can live up to it....
now you're under pressure :lol
-
Sent!
-
Hey Nem, I can't read Turkanese and therefore can't navigate your lastfm page to see what bands you're already familiar with. Can you post the three links for all your sources of music so we can all neatly access them if you get the chance?
-

Have you tried translating the page? It worked pretty well for me :)
-
Sure. Tell me how if you don't mind.
-
Just take out the .tr from the url, and voila, it's in English.
-
Hey I never realised that it's Turkish man.. sorry about that... I use everything in English but the challenge is all the websites are inclined to change it to Turkish because of the location I guess.... I'm gonna fix it now buddy...
sorry guys and thanks Floyd for letting me know... (I hardly ever use Last FM account.... so that's why...)
-
Rd. 2 entry sent!
-
Sent my round 2 sub. and ballad.
-
Alrighty, I sent my entry for round 2 and just to be sure, it could be anything right?
-
Alrighty, I sent my entry for round 2 and just to be sure, it could be anything right?
Yep, open round.
-
^Thanks brah :)
-
Sure. Tell me how if you don't mind.
I'm using Chrome and whenever I enter Nems Last.fm I get a button at the top of the page that asks me if I want to translate.
-
Switched to English guys.. should be fine now.....
There two songs that ruling my world now......
-
I can see they're hiring... :biggrin:
So you don't comment on individual songs, right?
-
will do on later rounds...
-
Had a look through your facebook music "likes", definitely useful to see what stuff all you already know as a lot of stuff I was thinking of sending was in there!
I've chosen a song but don't have it on mp3, so will get a Spotify link when I get home after work and send it to you.
-
Cool hun! looking forward to it!
-
So I have .. as of now...
King in Crimson

-
Hey! Check your Spotify messages girl! I sent you one.
-
I don't see my name, but you got mine, right?
-
oh yes I have yours lovely.... turns out I read the message and failed to see the song... I must have checked it via my phone when I was out or sth.. anyway sorted now....
but yours on the other hand my king, I can't see it in my inbox... the only song there, is your first submission.... you're dying to give me that belly-dancing, aren't you :laugh: hey I'm dying to see too.. so it's win win... shoot!
hey I must confess, since I was traveling through my roulette so far, I have been a little disorganised, just to avoid keeping you guys waiting for ages....
anyway.. I will be looking for your song dear king.... feel free to help me though!
kiss you all...

I sent you mine as well before you posted this. Let me know if I need to resend it.
-
ok guys.. only Elite is missing...
I'm gonna post the results today... in a few hours....
-
This round, five souls are damned to float the eternity of pain that is the river. Yet, don't lose hope as one of the lost souls from the river emerged with enough silver pennies to catch the Ferryman's eye and that one soul, namely DTVT is back in the Halls of the Dead!!!
The other Elite is nowhere to be seen ???
The remaining 12 souls are hoarding pennies for more real estate in the Elysium Fields (and maybe even backstage passes).
This is going to be the last round in the Halls and it is going to be semi-open. Those with enough pennies to tempt the Ferryman from this round will start the journey towards the Elysium Fields with me...
(https://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu51/senemn/results2.png)
who submitted what and the semi-theme are coming shortly.....
stay tuned.... ;)
-
I have no idea what you just said.....
But it's you who said it, so that's fine... :)
-
aww... aren't you sweet!!! .. hang on... everything will be crystal clear in a few minutes... ;)
edit: ok here is the total scores .. this will help with the explanation above....
(https://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu51/senemn/scoring2.png)
Round 2 scoring next....
-
I'm dead, aren't I? :P
-
you're in the river hun.... but DTVT swam his way back to the Hall... so if you've got a song to send... shoot... or send me a belly dancing perf.. and ta daa you're back in the game ;) :laugh:
First of all I want to let you know that I had to reject some songs... I know how it feels to want to get someone into the band you love... but there are some bands that I think I’ve given a fair chance but never could do the trick for me.... So.... No more Pain of Salvation ... No more Opeth please... feel free to send those in addition to your actual submissions... I’d appreciate that... You might also wanna avoid sumbitting The Dear Hunter and Mars Volta... I don’t want you to hate me after this roulette :lol but again, reccommending me songs by these bands is always appreciated.... Who want to miss on great songs??...
Now R2 resuts:
JBoy 6+1+1 Flaming Row - Rage of Despair (1 extra silver penny for introducing an amazing concept album and a whole lot of great musicians to me another penny for the compelling summary he provided about the project).. very well done honey... I'd give you one more penny if I could...
WebRaider 6+2 Protest The Hero – Moonlight (2 extra pennies for only sweeping me off my feet.. bloody hell Raider.. you’ve done a great job)
Yorost 6+1 Dead Soul Tribe - Angels in Vertigo (1 extra silver penny for giving me a good background)
boy_floyd 6+1 Rusty Cooley / Outworld – Warcry (Bloody Hell floyd… this song made me bang my head hard… all these guys are on fire.. very impressive chorus.. nice riffs… very well chosen honey.. congrats… also extra penny for walking me through how you came across the song)
King 6+1 The weight - Sieges Even (extra penny for sending me a what I consider a really good ballad for a non-ballad round... y'all know that it’s a challenge in my roulette.. King nailed it)
Rich 5,5 Closure in Moscow – Afterbirth
Zantera 5 Amplifier – Airborne
Ytse 4,5 Ozric Tentacles - Waterfall City
Kari 4,5 +0,5 And So I Watch You From Afar - Set Guitars To Kill (half a penny for the cute drummer.. not kidding… this brings me to our very first semi-theme… in a few secs…)
Deathlok 4,5 Moonlit Sailor - Hope
DTVT 4,5 + 0.5 Haggard - Per Aspera Ad Astra (half a penny for telling me why he picked this song... This score could be higher actually... the trouble is that I'm familiar with Haggard's work... and sent him an e-mail regarding this and asked for a new song... but he might have told me that he's not checking the e-mail account and asked for a PM instead... so he's now given the chance to give me an extra song to ask for extra pennies next round.. I think that's fair.... )
lonestar- 4,5 Martin Orford- Out In The Darkness
King in Crimson 4 Intronaut – Elegy
Nekov 3 Korpikliani - Voice Of Wilderness - Beer, Beer
Cyclops 3,5 Ka-Boom - Didn´t mean a thing (?)
TheStinger 3 Tantric – Astounded
Cup – 3 The Flaming Lips - Fight Test (Cat Stevens - Father and Son rip off???)
New Round...
It’s actually another open round... But slightly specified... I want a video (along with the mp3 if possible) where I see me some exciting performers... I don’t mind guys or gals... I love watching good looking or passionate people on stage..for me it’s part of the experience.. you can take kari’s and floyd’s submissions as examples... or take a look at this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=986iAyQpr1U).. I dig Einar’s passion on this video.... or give me a Daniel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3FUjITMXj4) or a Stu (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlWxvmOzyxE&ob=av2n).. I think you got the idea.... don’t get me wrong tho... all those songs (bands) are gold... I am not asking for pretty-faces-only ... I’m want some good shit with some extra this time....
I give you 4 days... Deadline is the 3rd of March.... go.. bring me gems....
WebRaider and Chad... thank you ... just thank you! damn....
and Rich... thanks for Scar Symmetry.. I checked them out God knows how many times.. and had some fave songs like Morphogenesis, The Anomaly, The Illisionist.. and so on... but never thought they could one day go up there right next to my fave bands... so thanks hun... I owe you one extra penny... please claim your silver penny with next round's submission.... that song and a lot of others by SS are blowing my mind at the moment....
Best of luck guys....
-
Me in the red....there's something new.... ::)
I'll try and find you something exciting.
-
go for it....
your first song was really good btw... you seem to have done some good stuff!
-
go for it....
your first song was really good btw... you seem to have done some good stuff!
Some... too bad it's almost all in the 'analogue' era.. :laugh:
I'll send you some outside of the competition, if that's alright with you....
-
I'd love that!
-
so....it's the total of the two numbers?
so..I'm doin ok then?
video..and the mp3...and have them be fun, exciting on stage.
Right.
(women...so demanding)
:D
-
I know ;D
but hey... you know you can do it... shame that I saw your Asking Alexandria submission on of the roulettes and fell in love with them right away... it could be a perfect choice for this round....
c'mon now... gimme one of your gems.... gimme gimme gimme :p
-
gems...right.
;)
I'll find something.
-
I know you will :-*
-

Awesome! :D
Glad you enjoyed the Closure in Moscow as well, I wasn't too worried when you mentioned you weren't a fan of the Mars Volta, as like I said, CiM are a lot more accessible and energetic.
-
They are awesome.... of really high quality stuff!
I've already benefited greatly from this roulette :)
-
I'm glad you like my song Nem. They are a very cool Prog band but like you said less on the heavy side. Check out their 2 albums from the 2000's. I bet you'd like them.
-
I bet I will my dear... :tup
-
hhhmmmm... Dilemma now. Most of my favorite live performances are from bands you will already know. This round is gonna suck for me. Good thing I started strong.
-
oh very strong indeed!
-
Question, can bands already submitted (by anyone) be re-used?
-
Damn, seems I'm hanging on by the skin of my teeth.
-
:laugh:
Fair question Chad...
It might be acceptable for this round, only if I'm not already familiar with their line up and performance on stage..... The thing is I have accepted bands that I know of up to now.. such as Gamma Ray... Symphony X... and some others...
I mean I have seen Russel Allen live three times for heaven's sake.. even got hit on :lol
so I will reject such bands... others are OK FOR THIS ROUND! (and for the next round of which I will declare the theme today)
Checking with me wouldn't do any harm.. but mind you ... giving me something new tunes can always bring you extra pennies....
I hope it makes sense....
-
I think I've got a perfect song. Not prog by has prog elements. Very famous musician but I need to look into your music when I get home Nem to see if you've heard it before. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it and see it.
-
:caffeine:
-
I have absofuckinglutly no idea what to send. This may take a bit.
-
Oh, crap. I thought I was dead and could choose when to send my song, oops. How do I go from now on?
Sorry! :lol
-
No worries hun.. send me a 2nd round song first.. then we'll see how to go forward with you... make sure you do it today.... I won't apply the penalty that I was talking about in the OP... as you were confused.... cool?
-
I'll get to it right now!
EDIT: Sent!
Again, my apologies for the delay.
-
:tup
-
Tough round for me since I watch very little in the way of videos for bands. Just going to have to take a chance on an artist I have no idea if you would like.
-
Holy shit you sent me one of may favorite bands :lol ... I'm about to schedule an interview with Franck Hermanny :lol
I think nobody's checking out my Last FM, or Spotify or facebook.. I won't get surprised if sb sends me a Dream Theater song :rollin :rollin :rollin
but you know what... I accept your entry mister... as I did for some others... also because after this submission, you're a promising player for me... but you're getting a 4,5 although it's worth more...
now go ahead and find a charming boy rocking out....
Tough round for me since I watch very little in the way of videos for bands. Just going to have to take a chance on an artist I have no idea if you would like.
that's fine yorost..... some rounds will be more challenging than others....
I will put the new results/rankings soon....
-
Oh, I'm not complaining, you're going to end up getting my favourite artist for nearly two years, now. :lol I just had no intention of using her during this game, but I love promoting her. ::p ...not really expecting a good score, though. :)
-
Shoot... can't wait to see!

here you go my dear...
New Round...
It’s actually another open round... But slightly specified... I want a video (along with the mp3 if possible) where I see me some exciting performers... I don’t mind guys or gals...

feel free to shout if this isn't clear...
-
Sent round 3 by email.
Cool stuff. :) It would be interesting to see what others sent though, just for the fun of it. ;)
I already posted that honey...
just elite's is missing here... and he submitted Dominate by Adagio (4.5)
I saw Adagio on your last.fm. Are those bands off limits or do we just need to ask before submitting something from them?
-
Sent!!!
-
Well the first three rounds are serving as a 'player selection' rounds... I am gaining a feel for 'who can give me the stuff I might dig'.. so I didn't care too much about the bands I'm aware of....
but after this round they will be off-limits... otherwise I won't get to know much new stuff :laugh:
there will be a round though, that you'll be able to send me anything... as long as they are prog or metal... or preferably both.. or in a perfect world, prog-power metal :laugh:
that would truly be my heaven....
I was planning to declare that theme tonite to give you some more time to think about it.... but people are already confused about my style.... so I'll will keep it to a more reasonable pace....
-
:sad: So am I out or what? Sorry that you have to explain yet again.
-
I'm happy to explain again and again.. as long as you want to make it back to the game :)
here's the deal: you'll be back in the game when you impress me with a song.... you're not tied to any theme or genre... free as a bird... I'll give you 3 silver pennies (and maybe some extra depending on the level of satisfaction) for each round that you missed... or in other words... there's miracle for each day that you try... there's a new love that's born for each one that has died ;D
so anyways... the earlier the better... but of course when you're ready...
otherwise the only way back is giving me the belly-dance performance :laugh:
-
or in other words... there's miracle for each day that you try... there's a new love that's born for each one that has died ;D
Fuck it up though, and you'll find yourself swimming in a lake of fiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..............
-
Cool, glad you dig my shit.
-
Sent a song now. Hope it wont be a problem, and I hope you'll like it. :)
-
or in other words... there's miracle for each day that you try... there's a new love that's born for each one that has died ;D
Fuck it up though, and you'll find yourself swimming in a lake of fiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..............
There's a song worth a thousand words... bring it to me!
yes kari, my dear... keep it up!
-
Now guys.... here are some hints for this round:
I'm not looking for a 'fun' video... I specify this only because I received a PM from a player who read it that way... well some of you guys know me better than the others... but I'm not into fun/happy songs... the only happy/uplifting song I can come up with is Don't Stop me Now by Queen :laugh:
there's a reason for that... they're just not for me...
if you are confident with your fun video, by all means send it to me.. you can even make extra pennies for accepting the challenge.... but be aware of the risk involved.... and just don't think that's what I'm looking for...
if you take a closer look at the videos I gave as examples, you can see the common grounds...
I want my bands to enjoy themselves on stage... and not to look like a joke like on this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LatorN4P9aA&ob=av2e) one... :lol I mean seriously.. I love Journey and this song is a masterpiece.. but when I saw the video I was devastated.... one of my fave songs was long gone.... if you see what I mean....
I get impressed when I see the musicians confident as hell of their stuff.... and again when enjoy themselves...
sometimes their beauty gets me impressed... (given the fact that tune is one for me of course) .. I mean check this chick (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y25snz83ms) out... f*cking hell man.... this can get any guy to his knees.... even me ;D
-
That Journey one was sheer brilliance. Mullets, white pants, Magnum PI-like mustache, tank tops, jean jackets ... c'mon, what more could you want from an 80s music video!!!!
lol-worthy
Edit ... not to mention the tight pants showing off how Perry is hung like a Shetland pony.
-
I know :lol :lol :lol
-
The moment you mentioned Journey, I knew exactly which video it was. :lol
-
Where's Cozmo's play by play action of that video?
-
The funny thing is, Chain Reaction (https://youtu.be/Xw4AV_BeE24), from the same album, might actually be a worse video. It's certainly creepier.
-

:rollin that's horrible.
-
you ruined my night :lol
-
I have a very funny story about that Chain Reaction Video, a Beta Max and porn. :lol
-
tell me more :laugh:
-
I was 15 when that came out and my parents went out late on a Saturday night and my brother was at a friends house. So I'm using my dad's Beta Max (Video tape recorder before VHS tapes) to tape a live concert.
So I didn't realize you can't change the station when you were recording and it was recording all the channels I was watching so I went to Cinemax (Or how it was called for many generations Skinemax :lol) and was watching soft porn.
Weeks later I watched the tape only to realize what had happened and luckily, I didn't put that tape on with my parents watching. :lol
Edit: Nem, can it be a live song or studio?
-
holy crap :rollin :rollin :rollin
it can be anything.....
bahahah :lol
:lol :lol :lol
-
Tell me about it! :lol
I'll work on sending the song and the video now!
-
Cool... I can't sleep tonite.. so the chances are I'm gonna watch your video before I go to bed.... make sure you send me the right video :lol
-
Dammit, I was just watching soft porn again! :lol
Sent the song by Spotify and PM on the Video! Enjoy!
-
I can just see your parents,"Honey, I think we got to talk to King about playing with his subject."
-
Everything was stiff in my room. No sock or tissue was spared.
-
:lol
I am going to spare dear Nem's thread from taking this conversation any further.
-
hahahah don't bother hun....
no wonder we're talking bout porn and tissues again.. well it's my thread :lol
-
Ah listening to music and talking about self mutilation. I'm a teen all over again. :lol
-
I guess the only thing that improves is the quality of beer and porn.
-
I'm a teen all over again. :lol
well I get that a lot :P :laugh:
on a more serious note:
there was a confusion around DC's participation... now sorted out... so another strong player is back in the game.... (well he was in the Hall for whole time)
here's the latest chart and ranking after revision:
(https://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu51/senemn/graphR2-1.png)
(https://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu51/senemn/ranking2.png)
He submitted Control Denied - Expect The Unexpected and Atheist - Second to Sun ... and got 6 for each......
the more the merrier :)
edit: dammit RJ.. I fancy some beer now :(
-
I guess the only thing that improves is the quality of beer and porn.
These kids don't know how good they have it. :lol
I'm a teen all over again. :lol
well I get that a lot :P :laugh:
So do I. *In my head*
-

I won't you guys won't hate me when I ask for an album review
-
I won't you guys won't hate me when I ask for an album review
I actually look forward to it.

Sweet!
-
I've got 7 submissions already... this is promising to be the fastest roulette ever :o
and long live the new chat thread :lol
bloody subject line... do I have to change it all the frigging time??
-
The funny thing is, Chain Reaction (https://youtu.be/Xw4AV_BeE24), from the same album, might actually be a worse video. It's certainly creepier.
I really like that song but WTF with that video?
Nem, I just sent you a pm with a song I hope you like. I want back in!
-
and I want you back in too....
fingers crossed!
-
and I want you back in too....
fingers crossed!
:eyebrows:
-
Holy Shit Nek.... you've got gems like this and you are hiding them from me :omg:
welcome back!
now get down to business and find me that video... give me more....
oh and right back atcha handsome...:eyebrows:
I love the confidence! congrats!
edit: Nek submitted Magellan - Magna Carta.. and is back in the game....
so as it turns out, I will never narrow it down to usual number of roulette players... :lol
but not to worry.... as you can see and as I promised, I can handle this many men... we're going forward at a really good pace....
ladyobscure needs some sleep now....
good tune overload!
-
Sent!
-
Sent.
Since this thread is getting awefully spammy, it might be a good idea to keep a list of everything sent somewhere so people don't have to go shuffling through pages and pages.
-
Fuck yes, I'm in again! :biggrin:
So, a video now. That's going to be a lot more difficult..
-
well, in defense of the spam...the roulette is rather chaotic.
lots of player, lots ways to play, open rounds, members out...back in...inuendo..open rounds, ballad rounds with submissions being sent early...then this round which provided more confusion (for me at least)
I thought I had to get a song...and a video by the SAME band..for the SAME song. (which incidently was what I did)
Also, I can only view her last.fm in turkish and babelfish doesnt have a turkish to english url translator, and while I can guess at most of it, I don't do spotify...it's a wonder I'm still in.
-
hey... whenever I'm asked a question, I answer right away.... if you're confused just ask... and stop complaining....
It's my way of doing things....
-

www.lastfm.com./user/obscure5555 (https://www.lastfm.com./user/obscure5555)
That link should Englishfy her last.fm.... at least I hope it does and hope it helps.

and as a side note, I like rough spider... so bring it on....

:corn
-
:obscure:
-
Sorry if I'm overlooking stuff, but for the video; can it be a live video or does it have to be a videoclip?
And no more bands in your last.fm?
:millahhhh
-
Any video honey.... just show me that charm, enthusiasm and the like...
well there are some bands on my last FM that I haven't seen any video of... so go ahead if you've got sth in mind... I'll let you you know... or send me sth I haven't got in my last FM if you wanna play safe....
your call...
-
Looking forward to the results. I love this game. It's a great way to hear bands I never heard of or never gave the chance.
-
Same here hun... loving it so far.... it's doing wonders on my life satisfaction... you guys have some awesome taste!
-
Hell my wife asks me what songs I've been sending. DTF messing up our lives. :lol
Or is it enhancing our lives? So I think that song I sent you will be a good song to listen to again driving home in a foot of snow dumped here today.
-
Looking forward to the results. I love this game. It's a great way to hear bands I never heard of or never gave the chance.
I hear ya. Even when you're not the one running the roulette.

DTF messing up our lives. :lol

Good question.... both I guess....

Same here hun... loving it so far.... it's doing wonders on my life satisfaction... you guys have some awesome taste!
I've been told I taste awesome.
HAYO!!
-
curiosity kicks in...
-
Are we on round 4 now or still on 3? (aka the video round) :lol
Sorry, it just makes me confused when there's so many people in a roulette, it's moving this fast, something that never happens on DTF normally! :P
-
still round 3...
if only I could handle this subject line :(
-
still round 3...
if only I could handle this subject line :(
Just edit your first post and change name of the topic? :)
-
Thanks hun.... well!
-
Finally have my Rd. 3 song/video sent!
-
The Ferryman is having the hardest time. The songs are so beautiful! It seems almost everyone got what I like...
Those the Ferryman refused and kicked into the river of lost souls? They did a good job too.... I mean 4 out of 6 .... it was that good! and some souls blew my mind by the songs they sent! Damn... I'm enjoying this so far...

I know we are totally past this, and I forgot all about this thread, and really I haven't had time to keep up anyway, but why is it that I sent my song but didn't get judged??
-
maybe you slipped in the crack
-
Hmm Wolfy, I didn't even see you in the round one right up, though I see you in the original list of contestants.
Send her a pm, she's been pretty good about backtracking, taking songs late and such to get it all right.
-
Sent!
-
Sent. And probably dead now. :|
-
lol...
I'm back home.. and TGIF....
can't wait to hear your new songs!
edit: elite... I can't see your song anywhere dear...
-
Thanks for the notification. Turned out I hadn't sent it indeed, now I have. ;)
-
Cool... :tup
-
Good to be home I bet Nem. Get yourself some wine, put your feet up and listen to some music that prog nerds sent you over the internet. :lol
-
Whoa... you defined exactly what I am doing now.... except you couldn't get the booze right... I'll give you another chance....
oops... roulette got into my skin :lol

I'm intrigued. Something on the rocks or are you a beer girl?

Gin if I recall correctly.
-
Jboy got it right.... :)
but you're right too king.. I'm a beer girl... ;)
-
I'm feeling some scotch coming on tonight.
*end derail*
-
ok then....
one of the ballad songs is making me feel dizzy.... damn
-
Having a Milk Stout right now. So do you listen to the songs then the videos to see if it enhances the song?
-
it might sound strange but sometimes while watching a video I might not be able to understand the real value of a song.... well sometimes it's the other way around... so I just wanted to make sure that I give you what deserve...
on your submission for instance, I liked the audio better than the video....
-
Very interesting. I look forward to your write ups!
-
Hope you got my song/video Nem!
-
I did hun :)
-
Waiting for 3 players.. then we're all set to move on to the next theme....
On an irrelevant note, I was looking forward to my 5555th post and planning to make it special... Here's what I got :lol
(https://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu51/senemn/5555.png)
well at least I could take a screen shot....
-
sorry I didn't get it to you earlier, I've been caught up with schoolwork (especially since the finals, and the ACT are approaching) and rowing, anyway just really quick question.
Does it have to be a music video, or can it be a live performance?
-
no worries hun... and yes it can....
-
Alright, what I'm sending is going to be the exact opposite of your tastes, probably both musically and videographically, but it's one of my favorite live performances, so there. :laugh:
Sending in a few minutes.
EDIT: Sent
-
thanks my dear... now just waiting for Rich and for elite to send sth else since what he sent is in my Last FM... and is a video I'm quite familiar with...
-
Every time you post 'sth', I read it as '5th', and think "fifth what?". Just pointing out my boneheadedness. Carry on. :corn

......waiting on rich in a roulette. That's never happened.
:(

:lol. So true.
-
:lol seriously.

JBoy 6 +2 Freedom Call -Crystal Empire - Quest (Jboy was the star of this round. What he sent was beyond my expectations... An outstanding band, amazing sound... I already like power as a genre and what Chad sent me could be one of my favourite bands! And, they have a very good Turkish bass guitarist as one of their former members - Ilker Ersin.
As for the video; breathtaking. The rhythm, headbanging, full engagement with the audience, mastery of the stage... so metal! It instantly made me want to go out and find a metal concert and rekindled my Wacken dream I haven't been able to fulfill for so many years... Awesome, in brief... Well done!) :clap:
DTVT -6+1 Evergrey - As I Lie Here Bleeding (Even though I have known this band, unlike Freedom Call, I don't seem to have seen any of their videos. Their performance is astounding! Amazing stage presence... What a strong kick off... with Jonas Ekdahl drumming with the audience transcending in the background... Damn! Ordered "A Night to Remember" right away... very well done Mason!) (https://www.kirksnosehair.com/pics/smilies/bravo.gif)
WebRaider 6 Voyager – Lost (I’m soooo surprised… how can a person (with so little -if not none at all- idea about who I am and what I like) make awesome submissions three rounds in a row ? You shocked me mister…. that’s all I’m gonna say.. I’m shocked) :omg:
Ariich – 6 Periphery - Jetpacks Was Yes (well another band that I know of but apparently haven’t paid enough attention… thanks for bringing them to my attention Rich… the video was quite rousing and after a quick search I saw that they have a lot of heavier stuff… very good choice to send me… ) (https://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-music003.gif)
Elite 6 - K3 - The End of Evolution (HELL YEAH! That was beautiful, man…. Awesome riffs… totally blew my mind… and those guys are on fire…. way to find sth that ladyobescure can dig a lot!) (https://www.70000tons.com/forum/images/smilies/guitarheadbang.gif)
boy_floyd 5.5 Dimmu Borgir - Progenies of the Great Apocalypse (horns up buddy) :2metal:
Ytse 5.5 Chimaira - Resurrection (this was another successful entry.. Spider gave me something totally new…) :letam: :2metal: :metal
lonestar – 4.5 Tesla - Song And Emotion
yorost 4.5+1 Hiromi Uehara - Time Out (with her Sonicbloom band) (.. ha ha this Japenese chick is plain crazy…. And a Berklee graduate… love it… extra penny for providing me with a satisfactory background)
Kari 4.5 Sigur Rós – Hafsól (I’ve tried Sigur Rós many times but couldn't get into them.. but this video was pretty impressive with the atmosphere and the unconditional instrument handling.. cool stuff!)
Nekov – 4.5 (+1) Pendragon - ... A Man Could Die Out Here
Zantera 4 Anathema - One Last Goodbye (another band that I can’t get into despite quite a lot of shots.. but this video has what I asked for)
Dark castle – 4 Kvelertak - Mjod
dethklok09 - 3.5 Brand New - Jesus Christ (it got better towards the end but it’s just not sth for me…)
Kingmesh – 3.5 Sarah Mclachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy (appreciate the quality but not just for me)
-------------------
King in Crimson submitted Portishead - Glorybox (Live From Roseland NYC) to get his spot back in the game however.... although it’s a very impressive performance it’s not sth I would want to come back and watch again and again.. so it wasn't strong enough to let him back in the game… however if he sends me (us) a belly-dancing video .. he'll be right back in… and will gain 4 silver pennies for each round missed ;D :dammitnick:
(https://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu51/senemn/r3results.png)
Now on to the next rounds.....
will post shortly....
-
Heh, didn't expect 4.5 points. Cool. :)
-
:blush. Guess I chose wisely.
Freedom Call JUST released a new album last week. Haven't checked it out yet. I love their older stuff the most. Since Eternity, they've sounded pretty bland IMO. Crystal Empire and Eternity are awesome though. Start there.
-
Cool, I'm back in the game! :biggrin:
Glad you liked it.
-
Thank YOU guys.... thanks to this roulette, I'm giving another chance to the bands I normally wouldn't.. that's a win!
Anyway... I will prepare a table for you to easily keep track of the upcoming rounds... since I announced and will announce some themes in advance.... the only aim here is to let you manage your own time... The reason why I'm doing this is because some of you send me the songs right away and some wait until the last minute... with knowing the next round in advance you won't need to wait until the announcement of the new theme.. you'll be able to get down to business whenever you have some time on your hands.....
hope this makes sense...
anyway.. now I've got some errands to run.. will be back for the new themes right afterwards.........
-
Sad panda face. BUT I'M STILL IN IT!!! :biggrin:
-
thx for not rending my heart :hug:
Ok here we go....
Please feel free to ask millions of questions .... in style!
I've got no idea how many rounds I should run... Is there a rule? ... or what's the tradition? we can basically skip 2 rounds and finish at 8... honestly it's up to you guys...
(https://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu51/senemn/RoundsTable.png)
-
Still alive, nice. Guess those beers I bought for you in SF are paying off. ;)
-
Was anyone eliminated in the last round or are we not doing that anymore? Just so I know. :biggrin:
-
No more elimination (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln8-iokzGOI).. so you know :)
-
I'm not sure what to make of this, but when I clicked on to your Last.fm a bit ago, you had 666 listens. I'm scared, hold me.....
(https://img848.imageshack.us/img848/307/notb.png)
(the little squiggle above the number is me being a retard with paint and then not caring to much about esthetics :P )

Oh well, figured that would happen.

hahaha beautiful... and you know deep down what to make of it :xbones
-
In that case, definatly hold me. :eyebrows:
-
Ok. So we're down to 15 players?
Another open round now, but for the album review round, are you rating our review, or a combination of the review and the album? If it's new music to you, I assume you want a track or two to listen to?
-
I'll have to work on this stuff soon, I'm gone to Florida for 10 days.

Another open round now, but for the album review round, are you rating our review, or a combination of the review and the album? If it's new music to you, I assume you want a track or two to listen to?
mmm ok .... let's make this clearer....
first of all... for this round, I'm not looking for something new.... (if you send sth new, that's a bonus... provided that I like it) if you want to play safe go for sth from my last FM...
since review write-up is a pain in the neck when you're doing everything from scratch, I'm guessing you might want to go for a band you like too...
regarding the songs... I'd like to hear the whole album... without hearing the whole thing, my experience would be incomplete... Under normal conditions, you don't need to send me anything.... I don't mind buying the albums (ITunes) you review... I pay shit loads of money for music anyway... if I can't reach them, then I might ask for help! BUT.. if you think that there are some tracks that stand out, please let me know... and either provide me with links or send me mp3s....
You're totally free in terms of style... if you want to do it song by song... cool... if you just want to give me an overall idea, that's fine too... you can send me an essay about why this album is special... why I should pay attention to it.... all is fine really....
regarding your rating question... well ... to be totally honest with you.. I haven't got any scientific method... I'll just go with the whole feeling... if you write an awesome review about a band I don't care about, the scoring might disappoint you... that's why you're allowed to pick a band form my Last FM.... so you might wanna pay attention to the genre.... and that's why I limited the genre with Prog and metal.... I tend to like pretty much everything.... and here's a clue: for me vocals are the key... I LOVE male vocals that seem to be in the female range....
I don't think it's very likely but if more than one players choose the same album.. I'll use the 'first come first saved' basis....
We're down to 15 players for now.. it won't be less but if an ex-player wants back in and satisfies my ears, they will be let back in....
Ytse, my dear, no worries.... this is just a game... I will take your special condition into account.. do what you gotta do.... and have fun in Florida... and give my love to Reaper and Jamesman if you happen to see them....
thanks for the good question Chad....
-
Song for round 4 sent.
-
So I´m out, right?
-
no actually... you sent me a lot of songs and I'm grateful for that... but I thought you just simply wanted me to hear those... just couldn't understand which one was your official submission.... I've been too busy with my 15 players and soon-to-be-born-baby, my webzine....
so send me a song with a 'official song roulette submission - Cyclopssss ' subject line.... and do it asap so you might be back in during this round...
just a gentle reminder... you're not tied to any theme... just send me something that I'd dig.... :tup
-
Oh, I thought I sent you an vid, never mind, I´ll try.
-
You're the queen of second chances! Song will be sent shortly. Know which band, just have to decide which song.
-
Here's what I think Chad: we are having fun here... well at least I do... if people think that there's sth worthy going on here and want to be part of it.... why the hell not let them be?
It's me handling the scoring and keeping track of people coming in.... so yes I might be the queen of second chances :laugh:
-
Cyclops... you're back in the game..... go ahead and send me another song for the 4th round and start reviewing an album while I'm revising my chart.... :)
-
Why can we only review a prog/metal album?
-
Why can we only review a prog/metal album?
Because it's her game, her rules silly.
-
Song will be sent later tonight Nem.
-
Sent by Spotify!!
-
A choice of three here. Will have to decide sometime, but that will most likely be tomorrow :)
-
As King said - your game, your rules. As long as you're having fun, that's cool with me.
Song is sent.
-
Question about round 5: Your little spreadsheet says last.fm preferred. Does that mean you want us to write a review on a band you already know/have?
-
I do! I just don't want your efforts to go wasted... It better be sth I'd like or to be on the safe side.. I already like...
so Kari... if you wanna go for sth else... do it hun.. no worries.... but would you like to share your band's name first?
-
Round 4 sent!!!
-
:caffeine:
-
And beginning the review too, should be quite an experience.
-
Guys... if you're not sure of the band that you'll review... feel free to check with me....
RJ, have you received my e-mail honey? I'm already fan of Black Country Communion.. saw them in London last year... damn.. it was beautiful!

-
do you want a track from the album we're reviewing or just the review written?
-
What is the deadline for the review round, my album is turning out to be a lot deeper than I thought.
-
just the review... I'll buy the album myself... I'll ask for assistance if I can't...
11th is the deadline....

You'll be the first person I've ever seen make a comment about the band on this site! :lol I've brought them up a few times in the past, and nobody, that I can recall, has ever commented.
-
Guys...
Let me take this opportunity to thank you all..... I know I've already been a quite demanding roulette runner and such a pain in the arse rejecting songs and even messing it up because of the shit loads of things going on in my life now..... you all have been so very understanding and kind... and obviously putting so much effort in this.... Thank you for investing time in my roulette.... and most of all putting up with me.... greatly appreciated... love you all dearly :heart
:hearts:

song names :lol :lol :lol
I wanna hug the ideator!
-
I noticed, fucking priceless.
-
Guys just stopping off to point out that I won't post the album reviews but just the name of the artist and the album reviewed... If you want to share your review please go ahead and post after the results are announced... or if you're interested in one particular album review, please ask each other to send along ....
I received two reviews already.... pretty good stuff!
Format requested:
Artist: XX
Album: YY
Review: :metal :heart ;) :hat
Thanks!
-
:lol The spotify guys are awesome. I love that they put Don't Stop Believing in the list :heart
-
A few newbie-questions regarding the fifth round, so I write a review of a prog or metal-album, and I send it.. do I send any songs? How long should the review be? Quite time consuming to write one, so just wanted to ask. :P
-
Damn, I just written an entire review! >:(
never mind, dear, I'll post it afterwards....perhaps. :laugh:
-
Guys, I am aware the fact that I've given you a quite challenging quest :P :)
but don't worry too much about it ... this is just a game after all... every length from one line to 29 pages is fine.. I always prefer quality over quantity... and sometimes less is more...
I don't mind whether you give me a technical review or an emotional one... feel free to tell me how that album makes you feel only... or when you feel like giving it another spin.. what is special about it... if it's the drummer what makes it special, then point that out... pretty much anything will do....
you don't need to send me a song....
thanks in advance...
please don't hate me! :heart
-
How will you judge the round? Like, will it be the quality of the review, or will you actually check out the albums and see what you think? Or maybe a little bit of both? :P
I'll see if I can get started writing one later, but I still have to decide what to choose, since I've already sent a few good ones, and I guess it's better to ask you before, so I don't write an album review and it turns out that the album isn't okay. :lol
-
G*dd*mn*t!!! :censored
J/k.... ;D :-* you rock, Nem.... :yarr
-
I strongly recommend you do that hun... check with me first if you're not sure... The album you review is definitely the core... I am not judging your writing abilities :lol
just tell me why you picked that album.. it will make the best review in my book....
I am receiving one-paragraph-reviews and it's perfectly fine!
G*dd*mn*t!!! :censored
J/k.... ;D :-* you rock, Nem.... :yarr
you scared the hell out of me for a second :lol
thx :)
-
I think it's just more of a "feel" she gets from the review.
I was worried about mine because I'm not a musician and I really can't put into words the techical aspects of what I'm hearing. And because of that, I didn't do a song-by-song review but more of an artsist/album thing.
"O" I don't mind if you post mine as an example of a "layman's" review.
-
oh thanks Spider.... well what he said basically.... it's the 'feel' that I'm after.... that layman's review scored really high if that make you guys feel any better.. or is the other way around? ....lol....... so now..
just send me sth.. not anything different from what you send along with your song entries.. the only difference being it will cover a whole album not a track on it....
a paragraph will do....
-
Waiting for round 4 to finish before I submit round 5. I'm gonna try to do this one step at a time.
Nem, I have no idea how you're keeping all of this straight. Organized chaos is what this is.
-
I'm a Gemini... I love chaos... and I'm famous for creating it :lol
-
Check your PM Nem, I sent you the band and the song!
-
Cool! thx dear!
-
I'm a Gemini too......oh dear... :hat
-
May God give your beloved ones patience :P
-
You shall have submissions for rounds 4 and 5 tonight. :)
-
Great news... :tup
-
This is driving me nuts, I keep changing what I want to say on each listen to the album. I gotta stop thinking and write the fucking thing. :zeltar:
-
Hey I don't want anyone to burn out.... just give me couple of lines hun... :(
-
...that's all he was trying to do. :)
-
Hey I don't want anyone to burn out.... just give me couple of lines hun... :(
Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying this immensly, I just can't settle on writing about one thing, it's such a complex album. I'm having loads of fun with this, don't you worry bout nothing. *pats head*
-
:lol my crazy fellow poster ...
then give me sth disorganized... just throw all ideas on a paper... I'm perfect at managing the disorganized... cause I am one... always do what I gotta do... meet deadlines... create results.... but in such a messy way :laugh:
-

Babe, you had a taste of what it's like inside my head, do you REALLY want me to puke that on a piece of paper and throw it to you?
-
aww yes I have taste of it my darling... and go ahead.. anything from you is welcome :heart

You're such a sadist. :obscure:

-
hahaha really? well I don't remember one single drunk post of mine.....
wait......
yeah I get it :laugh:
-
she drinks?
who knew...?
Ok I have sent in the next three rounds because I'll be away. Don't freak out and send because I did, I just wanted the roulette to keep running smoothly and not get rich'd.
LOL
-
you might wanna re-consider your R6 entry luv... not new to me.... :( you're on the right track tho...
-
Ok so I lied, no round 5 yet as I just haven't had time to write anything, but I've sent rounds 4 and 6! :)
-
Album review coming in later this week. I just have to check out the album first.
Just to clarify; can I keep a couple of awesome songs I've somehow kept from you for latter rounds? Or is there still a chance I can die?
-
Damnit! Code For Silence is good stuff too. Ok another then.
-
New song submitted for the "6".
-
Rich, I've got your Round 4 and 6 entires... and you've got time for the album review... so all is cool!
Elite you're not going anywhere dear.. staying with me until the end.... God help you ..lol... and I want those you kept from me!!!!
Ytse your cool with the chosen band for round 6... now you're allowed to leave :P
-
Review finished and sent, let me know if there are any problems with it(the sending part, not the review, that part is solid)
-
Whoa :omg:
that's beyond my expectations.... appreciate your time and effort hun! :hefdaddy
Professor Nem Nol.
.. I giggled :D

And with a hug from you and a huge fucking meal in my belly, I am going to bed. Goodnight lady. :heart

Sweet dreams :-*
-
When can we expect results for round 4 Nem?
-
Doing the write ups now... I'll post the results on Friday... but if there are those who are growing impatient, and as feverish as myself, I am happy to announce the scoring tomorrow, maybe even today....

Patience is learned, through experience and thought provoking proverbs handed down from father's to sons.
The oldest "patience proverb" I know, was shared with me by my own father when I was just an early teenager.
I was ready to race off somewhere for something and he told me to pause, relax, take my time and do it right.
I didn't quite have......the patience...for that.....so he told me about the Old Bull and the Young Bull.
An Old Bull and a Young Bull are standing on a hill watching over their heard of heifers.
The Young Bull pipes up and says "COME ON!!!!...Lets run down and fuck one of them heifers!!!"
The Wise Old Bull, turns slowly to the Young Bull and says...."No......lets walk down.....and fuck them all"
when the scores come......they come.
-
Well Ytse, you might be old and patient but I'm young, so yeah
Sent for round 6
-
Just let me get home and see whether I'm missing any submissions... I scored every song I received.. so posting the rankings wouldn't be that much of a problem...
Wise story Ytse!...
this round was kind of an explosion!

This tale of wisdom and patience reminded me of another fable regarding roosters. A farmer goes out one day and buys a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop. The rooster struts over to the old rooster and says, 'OK, old fart, time to retire.'
Old rooster: 'come on, you can't handle ALL these chickens. Look what it's done to me. Can't you just let me have the two old hens over in the corner?'
Young rooster: 'You're washed up and I'm taking over.'
Old rooster: 'Tell you what, young stud, I'll race you around the farmhouse. Whoever wins gets exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop.'
Old rooster: 'You know you don't stand a chance old man, so just to be fair, I'll give you a head start. '
The old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds later the young rooster takes off after him. They round the front of the farmhouse and the young rooster has closed the gap. He's already about 5 inches behind the old rooster and gaining fast. The farmer, meanwhile, is sitting on the front porch when he sees the roosters running by. He grabs up his shotgun and BOOM!, he blows the young rooster to bits.
The farmer sadly shakes his head, 'Damn,...third fag rooster I bought this month.'
-
:lol
-
Quality stuff.
-
:lol
-
Well shit, jingle, that's awesome. :lol
-
Ok, I've got the tentative ranking at the moment... still waiting on 4 people....
-
I was just looking at the chart, and it says you are going to have ten rounds. I think I'm gonna run out of bands before then, will you accept Youtube videos of my buddy's band playing at a bar?
-
Woops sorry guys! Sent!
-
Of course you can!
Well actually 10 round-game seems to be a lil long.... I mean I enjoy myself but don't wanna torture you guys.... I brought it down to 9.. (Yeah what a change :lol )
But if you guys are tired or likely to get tired I can get rid of the 'band member' round too....
Jut let me know...
Here's the latest chart:
(https://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu51/senemn/roundschart-1.png)
-
So if you all ready have my band round and my ballad round, that means I only have two songs left to send, right?
-
Of course you can!

Where did round 7 go? :o
-
I knew there was sth wrong.... yeah... we're down to 8 now... I think that's a reasonable number....
and yes RJ, my dear.. those who have sent me their band, album review and ballad has got only one more song to send....
I hope you won't get bored until we finish this :-\
-
I'll be cool, it is still a chat thread too, right? ;)
Any hints as to what the "band member" round will entail?
-
Yes.... this is our secret chat thread ;D
well I'm happy to give some hints but I fear that some of my players will get confused again.... I mean those who couldn't get the current rounds out of the way.....
how about after R4 results? Cool?
-
I don't know, as one of those that's not a regular roulette participant, the idea of 10 rounds didn't bother me. :) 8 or 10, it's your roulette.
-
I might not have time to write a review tonight, is it okay if I send it tomorrow? (totally missed if there's a deadline for the fifth round)
-
March 11th, you got time.
-
Yeah' you have time Jimmy!
yorost.. don't tempt me....
well if everyone is cool with that... I wouldn't mind listening to some more awesome songs ;D
-
I'ma gonna continue to send you awesome music for a while.
-
and I'm gonna love you for that.... :heart
and hey mister... when you run your own.. I've got real gems waiting for you :)
-
I'ma gonna continue to send you awesome music for a while.
Are you wearing protection? Be safe you two.
-

Not to worry. Shop's closed.
-
we got reviews comin or what?
-
What happened with being patient?
-
BOOYAH! Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
-
ahahah ok.. everybody sent or at least tried to send their songs.... but of course you will have to wait for another day for the reviews....
but I'll post the scoring in a bit.... my connection isn't collaborating this morning though :(
-
'morning Nem. I'm going to bed.
-
connection problems....they can really be a bummer.
-
Morning!
This was a f*ckin unbelievable round! Holy crap…. My ears had sex! Thank you all guys!
Well this round you’ll observe some fine tunning in scoring…. Although it won’t make that much of a difference in ranking, I just wanted to show you which one I loved slightly better than the other....
3 players sent their song but links or mp3s didn't work for some reason.....
King of this round
Ytse 6+2+1 Anthrax - In The End
(Holy Shit Spider.. that was beautiful… To be totally honest with you, I never thought that I would dig a song by Anthrax… I’ve never cared for their stuff… even saw them live and never got really so much excited… however this song blew my mind…. A few seconds into the song and I was sold! So once again I understood that it’s not only the general sound… songs do matter.. a lot.. what a beautiful feeling it has to it…. The vocals are so passionate and that riff in the background is plain awesome!)
I'm even listening to it while posting this..... More about this song later on....
And first runner-up:
DTVT 6.1 +2 Henning Pauly – What Do You Know?
Another amazing entry:
Elite 6 +2 Persona Non Grata -Imaginative Mind
WebRaider 6.2 Firewind - Into The Fire
Dark castle -6.1 Illogicist –Ghosts Of Unconsciousness
Zantera – 6 Hall of the Dead
King 6 Rocket Scientists – Earthbound
Nekov – 5.5 +1 The Pineapple Thief - 3000 Days
yorost - 5.5 +1 Healing Sixes - Slag Pit
Boy_floyd 5.6 Rhapsody - Warrior Of Ice
Ariich – 5.4 Strapping Young Lad - "Far Beyond Metal"
JBoy 5.3 Amaran's Plight Viper – Voice In The Light
Lonestar 4 Blind Melon – Change
tentative ranking:

-
connection problems....they can really be a bummer.
Indeed!
-
Ya know, my gut said you weren't going to dig Viper too much, but I just really wanted to send something from Amaran's Plight.
And hey, don't round my score down, what happened to those 0.3 points that keep me at the top of the leaderboard? Webraider probably wants his 0.2 as well.
Review coming in the morning (my morning).
-
It's excel's trick to us hun.. It's in the cell and safe... it just has sth to do with view... I'll format cells and it'll be ok...
hey it's a quite early morning here.... I quickly put these together for you guys.... wait for the real thing....
reviews in your morning? not a chance hun... I'm leaving for work shortly... I at least need a night...
-

Nah, I meant my Round 5 submission ... review of my album of choice.
-
Ahahah sorry my dear... that'd be cool!
-
Guess that was a miss, huh? Oh well, can't strike gold if you don't dig for it. I don't mind being on the bottom though, less work, the rent's cheaper, and the cops don't fuck with me. Let's see if my next submission helps me out a bit.
-
the rent's cheaper :laugh: :heart
-
Every negative has a positive. ;)
-
You're amazing hun!
-
You're already on the bottom, how much more submissive can you get?
-
We don't know who is on the bottom yet.... I'm yet to receive to 3 songs!
-
You're already on the bottom, how much more submissive can you get?
Ropes, handcuffs, and gagballs come to mind.
-
Holy shit... my field!
whoever asks for it, gets it!
:obscure:
-
:hat
Gotta do something whilst I'm kicking it in last place and have most of my submissions(for the roulette) done.
-
:laugh:
-
I just realised that DTVT's complete roulette was 9 pages... and mine is 15 already when we're not even half way through :lol
-
Wow, glad you liked that! Now the rest of the album, it's good :)
-
It's plain awesome! :tup now on to the whole album indeed!
-
I give up... ???
-
As you wish dear... ???
-
I'll update the ranking after I receive dethklok09's song as well.... (There's sth wrong with the youtube link he sent)
kári 4 Radiohead - 2+2 = 5
-
I just realised that DTVT's complete roulette was 9 pages... and mine is 15 already when we're not even half way through :lol
When you reply to pretty much every single post (including your own), that'll get the page count up. Methinks UMH got a little jealous too.
-
ok. I'll shut the hell up.
-
So Nem. I dig Rocket Scientists. Most of my heavier stuff is old school which really isn't heavy compaired to the music of today. I glad your digging most of what I've sent so far.
-
Cool stuff King! Keep it up!
now enough silence for a day... that was over my capacity anyway.. :lol now back to prattle :laugh:
-
And first runner-up:
DTVT 6.1 +2 Henning Pauly – What Do You Know?
Cheater pants! Riding my coat-tails (from my Frameshift submission)
-
:lol I know... and it turned out really well!
You both gave me amazing gifts! Thanks!
-
I am curious, had you heard of Healing Sixes before? It was a no brainer submission when you were talking about BCC, if not just because I think the connection is appreciable for BCC fans.
-
honestly. no!
-
To fix j.b's entry, it's Amaran's Plight - Viper. Voice in the Light is the album name, and I think it is an absolutely fantastic album - and just to brag my copy is signed :)
Also, I think I should have 0.1 more points :)
-
:lol you got it!
-
What an odd way to fall from 4th to 5th. :lol
-
What an odd way to fall from 4th to 5th. :lol
And to think that in today's economy, 0.1 of a penny would matter.
-
0.1.......think of it as girth.
-
What an odd way to fall from 4th to 5th. :lol
You haven't .. DTVT just reminded me of the 0.2 extra pennies that I've forgotten to give you :lol
-
I just realised that DTVT's complete roulette was 9 pages... and mine is 15 already when we're not even half way through :lol
When you reply to pretty much every single post (including your own), that'll get the page count up. Methinks UMH got a little jealous too.
When I first saw his changed roulette thread title, I though Nem had changed the thread title on this one to be playfully self-deprecating but when I read the post where he'd changed the thread title and saw that there wasn't really any attempt at humor other than saying "obscure" several times, I kinda was left with that impression too. If he was having a go (not saying I know for sure one way or the other), this seems like a silly instance to choose to do so since DT-side is frequently far worse with Page 1 clutter due to all the borderline spam threads that aren't much more than a very slight variation on numerous already-existing threads such as the "(blank) vs. (blank)" threads of a few months ago.
-
What an odd way to fall from 4th to 5th. :lol
You haven't .. DTVT just reminded me of the 0.2 extra pennies that I've forgotten to give you :lol
Wasn't I supposed to receive an extra penny at some point, because of Scar Symmetry...?
EDIT: Also pretty sure Justin wasn't really having a go, there was probably just joking around about it in the facebook chat, which is what usually leads to those sorts of things.

:rollin yeah right
-
So, two things:
- The album review; does the review count, or the album reviewed?
- The ballad round; can it be an instrumental?
-
Morning guys! I was out last night.... So now, let's catch up!
Hmmm UMH.... I don't know what the F*ck is going on there.. I sent him a PM, but as it seems he won't respond.... it was even a funny PM.. because I thought that it was cute and funny-as-hell joke :)..... but that little info coming form Rich is a good indication of another well-hidden trolling attempt towards me.. :lol
eheheeh I don't give a shit... any publicity is good publicity :laugh:
some teens on this forum hate me for some reason (well, we all know exactly for what reason) and gang up on me... I know the leadership of this act ... hehe funny kids...
Anyway we old&wise and young but mature people should get down to business here :P
Starting from the last question....
Elite, instrumental is perfectly fine! just make sure that those instruments will torment me, tear me apart! :P
- for the review round, both the album you pick and the write-up count... If you're not sure of the album you picked, I encourage you to check with me first!
Rich, You're definitely gonna get your well-deserved extra pennies... I'll actually give you a handful.... I will do a retrospective assessment and scoring after this round.. and possibly another one at the end... Because there are some songs that have been growing on me over the last few days and I thought I under-rated... Scar Symmetry - Oscillation Point is the most obvious one... I listen to it every day and say "Why the hell haven't I given him +2?"
so that's about it.....
-
Nem, I sent you three possible albums on your mail, later when you have time you can just check them, if they're okay for reviewing, the reason I sent three is because it saves time instead of sending one, you say no, sending next, you say no.. etc. ;) This way you can easily just write "no.. no.. yes" or whatever, and I know exactly what to do.
-
Any chance we can get an updated scoreboard, so I can know for sure that I'm still scraping the bottom. :laugh:
-
mmmm I can't access photo hosting sites at the office but I'll arrange sth for you hun ;)
Jimmy my dear, I would never say "no" to an album after you've written it... but I'm glad that you sent (??) me three options, now I get to choose ;D
and what if I say "yes", "yes" and "yes"..... :D
-
Okay, I'll write it today, will be a surprise which one I choose. ;)
-
Hmmm UMH.... I don't know what the F*ck is going on there.. I sent him a PM, but as it seems he won't respond.... it was even a funny PM.. because I thought that it was cute and funny-as-hell joke :)..... but that little info coming form Rich is a good indication of another well-hidden trolling attempt towards me.. :lol
I don't think he was intending to actually troll you, or he'd have been posting in this thread. Don't take that crowd seriously, they just joke around, and they behave the same way towards each other all the time as well.
-
ahahahah that's cool :laugh:

Oh I read that again, Rich and I think your definition of trolling is a bit narrow... Not that we have to agree on such terms.
Fair enough, let's say "flame baiting" then. Having seen the evolution of such terms in da interwebz, I am not saying "zomg, he's trolling, banhammer, naoooo!!" but it is trolling in my book...
Anyways, let them play - but let it be known that I take offense!
-
Any chance we can get an updated scoreboard, so I can know for sure that I'm still scraping the bottom. :laugh:
I'm down there too. Wanna share the place so it's cheaper for both? I can show some more good music and you can cook me some bacony food. It's a win win situation

You fogies are the main reason why I enjoy being here... and of course mature young fellow posters!!!

Due date for the review is the 11th, right? Sorry, I don't have time to do it today, it'll probably come on the 11th.
-
My review will be done on the 11th SINCE IT'S MY BIRTHDAY ON MONDAY AND I'M PARTYING ALL WEEKEND!!! :metal

Damn, I didn't know it was physically possible to get that old. :neverusethis:

Hope you have a blast King!!!
yorost, I can always flex the dates for those who have urgent matters....
We're doing this for fun, not to add extra stress or obligations to your life... You gotta do what you gotta do!
I already extended Mike's deadline as he's got some important exams to take at school. School comes first, and does MATTER A LOT... I'll announce the tentative results so the rest won't get affected by the delay!
well if he decides to use that extension of course...

...well, more like selfish. I'm in the office today and Sunday, so I want to spend as much time with my daughter as I can on Saturday. :) Much fewer distractions working Sundays, though, I can write it while running code and during breaks.

Absolutely nothing selfish about spending time with your kid.

Hmmm UMH.... I don't know what the F*ck is going on there.. I sent him a PM, but as it seems he won't respond.... it was even a funny PM.. because I thought that it was cute and funny-as-hell joke :)..... but that little info coming form Rich is a good indication of another well-hidden trolling attempt towards me.. :lol
I don't think he was intending to actually troll you, or he'd have been posting in this thread. Don't take that crowd seriously, they just joke around, and they behave the same way towards each other all the time as well.
Yeah, we pretty much hate each other. :lol Not really, but you know. We give each other shit all the time.
-
Sent my review now. Hope you'll enjoy it, and if there's any problem or so just let me know.

When people make a big deal over something as innocent as UMH using the word obscure in his posts (which was clearly a parody of obscure putting her name in a lot of her thread titles), you are just making yourself a bigger target. EVERYONE jokes around here. If you make a big stink whenever a joke is directed towards you, it is just gonna have people make even MORE jokes.
I'm sure we all lost sleep over Justin using the word "obscure" 64 times in his post though, I know I did......

I hate you ZBomber. You dick.

I got your review Jimmy! Thanks! ;)

Ok, forget the last sentence. The rest of the post seems like a perfectly valid explanation of why she sometimes feels "ganged up on." Not an excuse, mind you, but a straightforward and honest explanation. All joking aside, I don't think ZBomber was intending to be antagonistic there, and I don't think the post was out of line at all.
-
Seriously, I've never had any problems with obscure and I doubt her with me. Sometimes people just overreact (everyone does) and I think this is one of those situations where people are reading too much into this. UMH overdoing the obscure in his post was an innocent, 100% harmless joke that no one should have been offended by.
I love that someone pulled the age card though, as if being older makes you any wiser in this completely random meaningless topic. Funny enough, now I am being put under fire for simply stating a simple, harmless observation. And people are perceiving it as me attacking obscure or something. :lol This is why problems like this arise in the first place.
Would any of you really give a fuck if I subsituted your name in for words in this post? Cause I honestly wouldn't if someone did it with my name. That's what you guys are getting upset over. Not gonna derail the thread anymore but it was already brought up before me and I felt the need to weigh in.
-
:lol :chill
Now.. my precious players.... write-up is taking me ages :lol
But I love it!!!
so instead of awaiting you forever, I thought that I can post as I write and give you sth interesting and fun to read on my thread :laugh:
So here's what I thought of Spider's submission....
Ytse – Anthrax - In The End
Bloody marvelous!!!
There are signs of new ideas and I always embrace change… I love evolving with the band I love... (as is the case for DT)
I've been listening to this song since Ytse sent it to me… over and over again… and then again… and my family got the virus as well... this is one of the best and most addictive compositions I've heard for a long time...
And this song was hell to score… THis round there were a lot of songs that deserved a 6, my own making, my own unmaking... If I give them sixes, what will I give to this?? I first decided to give the only 6 to Anthrax and lower the other scores to keep it in scale. But this would mean the balance between the rounds would be skewed... Besides, I'm pretty sure, by now, there is the expectation that there would be circa four songs with sixes each round and I did not want to disturb this either. For this reason, Ytse got a +1 for this song against all tradition.
As I mentioned, I don't care much for Anthrax… I can't even consider them one of the "big four" - no offense to the fans but in Sonisphere, they were like "one of the gigs" for me...
But this one is very different. Although you can hear that good ol' Anthrax between the 4th and 5th minutes... But what was it that struck me so squarely on the face?
First, the parameters:
First of all, I've only superficially checked out the first four albums of Anthrax. I followed them based on only a few well known songs... I wouldn't know what kinds of transformations they went through, how the changes in the line-up reflected in their sound but I can tell you that this is not a pre-1990 Anthrax.
I thought that maybe the return of Joey played a role in what appears to be a huge improvement but Joey's style is completely different - even his voice sounds different to me!
I would easily be fooled into thinking that this is another band. Maybe I would say "they have some Anthrax influences" and that's a big maybe...
When all is said and done, I believe I liked this one because it is closer to new modern heavy metal approaches… I listened to the whole album on Spotify later on and all the songs are solid for what it’s worth.... I won't identify myself as an Anthrax fan after this album but I am one of the appreciators now!
Whatever the reason, this is a markedly better product than I would expect.
As with Nekov, Ytse sent me a band I am reserved about and whose albums wouldn't have checked out otherwise. This would warrant another +1 but a nine should do in this instance!
I won't say that I'm 100% sure but this might well be their most solid song… This is by far the best stuff these guys have churned out.. or at least the best that I'm aware of…
Excellent songwriting, in brief.
“You'll be my light in the dark when the sun goes down”! Damn!
Nekov's entry coming up next... ;)
-
If you do a write up like that about each song, you should be getting to mine by the end of March, right? :P
-
Bahahahah I'm glad that you brought that up :laugh:
I won't be writing like this for each song.... hell no... this one just shakes me to the core at every listen...
-
Based on the score you gave my song, that's probably for the best. :)
-
:lol damn RJ... never fail to crack me up!
The Pineapple Thief - 3000 Days... Nekov is with us again with a very risky entry! TPT is not my style and for some reason I've never had the urge to chekout their discography.
I have to admit though, this song impressed me. The strong bass, strings, the background... it is rich and fulfilling for the lack of a better term. If the vocals were a bit more underground I would have been a big fan I reckon. But those vocals... Sadly, they sound like Brit pop/rock to me which is something I do not like at all.
Incidentally, do they have any instrumental work? If they do, I'd dig them like there's no tomorrow...
This song is a 4.5 but I'll give a "gratitude" point as well since dear Nekov made me like a band I would never have considered otherwise. Thanks Nek!!
Now, I'll walk you through how this song made me feel at the first listen...
The song starts.... the rhythm guitar intro makes me cringe - that's not something I like :-\ and I start to feel embarrassed because of failing to like the submission of one of the best players of all roulettes... what's wrong with me :(
Then the leads chimes in and makes me go "hmmm, hang on a minute, there IS something there..."
Then I start to wait for the vocals… Because as I've already mentioned a couple of times here and there, vocals are the key!
Damn.... Brit -pop, not my cup of tea!
At around minute 4, the guitars picks up pace and the song ends with a powerful outro.
I tend to like distortion guitars more but it is clear that there is a whole world I am missing out there because of this. After the second or third time, everything fell into place and I realised the song is quite addictive!
Last, but not least, I heard that the band has chosen to move their sound to slightly heavier pastures.... Yeah! Come to darkside! We DO have cookies! :xbones
-
Good to see we got this thing back on track as our semi-personal late night/early morning chat thread. :heart
-
YAY.... I'm just extremely busy with the webzine these days....
this is my heaven.. I can't stay away for long :heart
-
So is it going well? When can we expect to see some product?
-
Back from Saturday shopping!
It's going very well.. I think I can be on in two weeks .... I'm very excited hun :)

Just posting to say that 3000 Days is a fantastic song, and a nice pick. :)
The write-ups, are they for the songs we sent in @ round 4?
-
Round 4 yes....
A metal magazine is expecting a write-up from me.. TODAY!!!... After I finish that one, I'll be down to writing yours again .... ;)
-
Not much else to add. Glad my choice of song affected you in such a profound way.
You have my next couple rounds.
Hello to everyone from Florida.
-
Oh hi spidey! Yes, that's pretty much what your song has done to me.....
Hope you're having great time in Florida!
-
I'm glad you liked the song Nem :) It was a long shot and luckily it payed off. My original idea was to send you something from the band I wrote the album review for but then I totally forgot and sent this :P
-
Well I'm much more familiar with the other one hun... I'm glad that you sent this one... growing on me fast!
-
Fuck yeah!!! I'm not in last!!!!
(nothing personal, dethklok)

My players are exemplary gentlemen!!! love y'all :hearts:

JBoy 5.3 Amaran's Plight - Viper
well this song started out a little off .. I wasn’t impressed until the minute 1.20’ .. but then it worked into a nice verse .. leading to couple of head nodding,.... (good sign) and then to a very powerful chorus ….. in brief a relatively weak intro builds up to catchy chorus. I got a lil Vanden Plas vibe from the vocals here and there.... also liked.... Thanks for letting me know about this band hun!
kári's – 4 Radiohead - 2+2 = 5
kari forgot the mention the name of the band first but tbh it turned out really well . I’m trying really hard to be open-minded but Radiohead never could do it for me.... if I saw the name… I might have said "oh it has to be another pop-rock song that I’m not a fan of".. but this song has darkness into it… I like!
Dark castle -6.1 Illogicist –Ghosts Of Unconsciousness
Oh hell yeah, motherfucker! this band have got all the answers for my death metal needs! It’s not even pure death.. on a cross between death metal and prog… You nailed it my dear!
-
Well, looks like you're coming up to my song, I'm a man, I can take it.....

Nah. You, me, and the rest of Nem's army of lapdogs are just overreacting to what is clearly some of the wittiest tongue-in-cheek brilliance this forum has ever been so spoiled to witness. I get the feeling we may get to see some of these modern-day Red Skeltons branch off into a new community to be known as 9/16 in the coming years.

DTVT 6.1 +2 Henning Pauly – What Do You Know?
Now this one was quite a shocker.... If Ytse hadn’t sent Anthrax, you would easily have been the king of this round.... and maybe... If I had written written this right after the first couple of listens, it could take me pages... Seriously I can’t say enough about this song and how much it impressed me...Very dark and aggressive!....
Let’s walk through my experience you again: The atmospheric intro and hey wait! Do I hear me some JLB? I snapped to attention of course.... and then another amazing voice kicked in and then the melody....damn you Matt Cash... how dare you blow my mind when my all-time fave vocalist is right beside you? And that creepy piano all throughout the song.... Damn!
These two guys pick up a fight and make you live that moment! Very successful production.. Whole album is .... I can’t thank you enough for introducing it to me! Well deserved 8.1 pennies
-
Well, looks like you're coming up to my song, I'm a man, I can take it.....

ahahahah yes I'll post it today hun.... would you like it before or after sleep? :p
I got about an hour till I crash, before would be fine. My day is pretty much fucked tomorrow all ready.

yours is up next then my dear! :tup

Lonestar 4 Blind Melon – Change
This is a genre I used to love.. especially when I fell in love for instance, this was the kind of song I would turn to… and I used to fall in love very often ..lol… :laugh: I think this genre is not in top of my list but I quite liked this song…. solo is quite impressive... wanted me wear my cowgirl hat :)
In brief, your risky hippie entry turned out well mister!
wish you a great day tmw!

Your too kind, I'm a closet hippie by trade, seen the Dead over thirty times.

Elite 6 +2 Persona Non Grata -Imaginative Mind
Ah Elite.... I don't know where to start... The bass intro is awesome. The guitar tone is brilliant. So loud and aggressive. Vocal melodies are killer. Perfect tune!
Other songs in the album meet the same standard as well. This is one of those bands that climbed up in my list in this Roulette. Seriously takes me away every time I listen to them. A driving track that makes you wanna sink into your couch and bath in the glory of the tunes.
Wanders into some pretty cool progressive area musically...
Well, you get the picture. Great job!
WebRaider 6.2 Firewind - Into The Fire
Power Metal!!! Always been with me all over the years.... and this is not just another power metal song....., not the usual stuff, it's more guitar-oriented, a tad heavier, more powerful, rough... and melodic as hell....in other words, it melts almost all the bits I love in one pot… jackpot… I don't know which bit to praise... The fact that the singer has a killer voice? The vocal melodies touching my very soul? The fact that it is just the right amount of heavy? The beautiful drums?
Really good grasp of my taste Web… congrats! At some point in the Roulette, I said power-prog is the ultimate for me - I was hoping someone would introduce me to new stuff in this vein and and here we go! Brilliant shit!
This band certainly speaks to my ear, brain and heart...
Zantera – 6 ISIS- Hall of the Dead
Whoa!!!... So powerful intro! From 00:01, you can tell that you're in for a treat. Awesome brutal vocals... blistering guitar riff leading the way, the vocalist's raspy growls and screams fitting in very well... yummmm... Super atmospheric... Psychedelic and hypnotic... I'm not listing a bullshit bingo, I have another of those bands now - you know, the one you listen to when you need to go to another place, when you fancy a bit of tripping...
King 6 Rocket Scientists – Earthbound
You nailed it again King…. Hat's off! I love studio videos and this one is pretty impressive... You just can't help it and respect these guys… This song brings a lot of respectable musicals elements together…
Proggy keyboards, jazzy transitions - nice, Pink Floyd-ish sound from time to time.... Musical mastership!
yorost - 5.5 +1 Healing Sixes - Slag Pit
That guitar tone is sick, man! I'm a huge fan of BCC... I was almost "losing it" at High Voltage last year... Made instant friends out of other die-hard fans - singing along Glenn Hughes out loud… It was an awesome value finding this band for me… They have a bit of that certain something a la Alice in Chains - whom I love as well... Vocals are so "badboy" - I love it! Flowing informative background earned the song another penny as well!
Boy_floyd 5.6 Rhapsody - Warrior Of
Another power metal submission which made me jump up and down... Holy kick off Batman! With some mighty sharp riffs scattered about.... Big catchy hooks (no pun intended :P) - fist-pumping chorus... On top of all these, some energetic solos dropped at the right times... Well picked buddy!
ariich – 5.4 Strapping Young Lad - "Far Beyond Metal"
Whoa! I never knew that this band was right up my alley... I checked out this band a few times and quite liked them... but you know.. didn't follow up... But picking the right song, you showed me that I can dig them... My fave part is where the song goes into a catchy and powerful anthem-chorus (a new hybrid creature found in the deserts of Har'Akir) and the fantastic soloing. Another jewel of a submission from Rich!
dethklok09 4.5 Breaking Benjamin - Unknown Soldier
Now, I'd like to thank you for sending a nice piece from a genre I am hugely biased about… I know I annoy the fans when I say it's not my cup of tea (for some bands… Radiohead for instance) but you know how it goes, tastes! Anyway... this song is a good example showing me that although it's not my style overall, it's a mistake to overlook the complete works… There are some gems in the heap… Specifically, for this song, I found that there are some very impressive bits here and there… Namely the drumming, loud guitars and passionate singing… Definitely made me wanna hear more of BB…
It was an amazing round overall... Thank y'all!
-
The fact that Radiohead isn't your cup of tea didn't annoy anyone I'm sure. It's just a little weird that you would call their music "just another pop-rock song" because that's not what they are, at all. So there. :)
-
We are actually agreeing but I might be failing to get the idea across.
What I am trying to say is, since I am prejudiced against Radiohead, if I knew that it was a Radiohead song I would have said "probably just another pop rock song" - to be clear, I am criticizing myself here.
In other words, I mean I must be missing loads of good stuff just because I am prejudiced against some bands.
And I tried to make it clear that what you sent was NOT "just another pop rock song" after all.
Hope this clarifies....
On another note, most of what I love, people see as just noise. Each song would do different things for different people. In general, when I don't like something, it does not mean they are not good - it just means I, specifically and subjectively, do not like them.
-
Glad you liked Isis. :tup

I understand 100% and I agree. I was mainly addressing what you said in the post in blue "I know I annoy the fans when I say it's not my cup of tea (for some bands… Radiohead for instance)" and saying that nobody was annoyed that you didn't like them, that's okay, but just that you prejudiced. :) It's all good.

Reading blue text with the black clouds theme is a NIGHTMARE.

Laugh it up, missy, you'll be getting a bill from my optometrist in the mail. :P

Yeah, I'm still on the BC&SL theme and it looks pretty good. They rest of them make my eyes hurt
-
Or just use the white theme.
NO. :smiley:
I like me the BTS theme.
And good you liked Persona non Grata! It's very good are far too little people have heard it, unfortunately.
-
I actually switched from the BTS to the white theme yesterday, mainly to make it easier to read on my cell phone, made a world of difference.
-
I'm not too fond of the default theme, if I'm being honest.
-
The Beneath the Surface theme is awesome; it should be default.

The Beneath the Surface theme is awesome; it should be default.

I’m sure whoever ran their own roulette is familiar with these feelings: "Oh my got, where was my mind this song is awesome!!! It definitely deserves a higher score!!!"
Or
"Hey I was thinking of this and that back then …… but then I this happened down the line" and… you know you find yourself having applied different rules to different players throughout the game…
So why leave it that way when I’ve got the opportunity to get things right…
So to be totally fair to everyone, I’ve made a retrospective scoring … nobody lost any pennies but some players made some extra since obscure appreciated the songs more later on… here’s the list:
Ariich Scar Symmetry - Oscillation Point 2
King The weight - Sieges Even 1
Ytse Bullet For my Valentine – Fever 2
Boy-floyd Rusty Cooley– Warcry 1
Deathlok Moonlit Sailor – Hope 1.5
Ariich Periphery - Jetpacks Was Yes 2
lonestar Tesla - Song And Emotion 1.5
Zantera Anathema - One Last Goodbye 1
Kingmesh Sarah Mclachlan – FTE 1
WebRaider Firewind - Into The Fire 1
Zantera Hall of the Dead 1
Nekov The Pineapple Thief - 3000 Days 1
Other unforgettable submissions of the Roulette so Far Yet Fairly Rated
so no extra penny but appreciation
JBoy: Freedom Call - Flaming Row - Frameshift (Holy F Trinity)
DTVT: Evergrey (video) Henning Pauly
WebRaider : Voyager, Protest The Hero, Thornley
Yorost: Dead Soul Tribe
King: Beardfish
Ytse : Anthrax
Elite: Persona Non Grata
and a confess.. I regret the fact that I had to eliminate Ravenheart :'(
I have a bday party to go tonight, I'll post the latest ranking tomorrow....
-
Cool, that song deserves it, such a powerful piece.
-
First off.... Special thanks for this round!
In no particular order:
1. Ytse 5.5 Axxess/Maxxess - Impact
Spider gave me one of those sparks which can potentially kindle a fire! He reviews the album in his very own unique and candid way and leaves you with a desire to check out the album right away and find out more about these guys.
2. JBoy 6+2 Star One - Victims of the Modern Age
Jboy did a great job of making a sensation with his very compelling write-up... On top of his view and the objective information about the album, he includes a glimpse into his own knowledge of the genre discussing comparisons with prog masterpieces. Considering the audience (in this instance, I) share these tastes, it is a good move that I appreciate like there is no tomorrow.
The review assesses the album in terms of its both technical aspects and content. Jboy tells us where the album stands for him as well as throwing in a wealth of information about it. I am very satisfied with this review of one of my fave albums… being an Arjen Lucassen fangirl I will just say excellent job!
3. Nek 6.3 Haken - Visions
Whoa... Are you only hanging out with musicians or something? I had to give him 6 as every word of this review went over my head J :P
Well the album is perfectly reviewed from the technical point of view .and the instrumentation is scrutinized to the bone. After reading this review, rather than running to music store to buy the album, you want to go and study music J
On a constructive comment, it could be perfect review if he provided me with a little more personal touch… why he chose to review this album for instance…. you know, emotional side of things… I believe the audience always likes to see some feelings floating around to relate to…
Overall, really good review… one of those, especially the professionals would love to read….
4. Kári 6 Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
This review walks you through the whole album song by song mainly from a technical point of view. Another well thought-out, detailed, tasty and well-written review. Very good job! Will definitely help me appreciate PT more!
5. DTVT 3.7 Henning Pauly – Footsteps (!) :P
The busy scientist gave me a kind of a background of this concept album rather than a review… which can be found in the elusive google archives :P J The reason why I was generous with the pennies is the fact that he introduced me a hell of an album (soon-to-be-one-of-my-all-time-fave albums) and the main characters of it… Thus making me want to find out more.
6. King - 6 +2 Porcupine Tree In Absentia – 2002
King starts his review with a personal touch instantly immersing you with promises of a good read. It ultimately gives an assessment both music-wise and lyric-wise... King credits where credit's due by mentioning Steven Wilson and Gavin Harrison after discussing the musical elements and then wraps it up nicely with his overall, personal view. There even is a rating! A very professional and proper review worthy of dead tree magazines.
7. Rich 6.3 Evergrey -The Inner Circle
Another well organised, almost professional review. Rich identifies where the album stands in the metal scene giving the reader a pretty good idea as to what they are in for. Even if you know squat about the band, after reading the review you'd have an idea as to whether this album is for you or not. Finally, after reading his insight into the last track, independent of whether you already know the song or not , you just want to run and listen to the song immediately. Pretty neat job!
8. Web raider 5.6– Protest the Hero - Scurrilous [2011]
This is more of a freestyle review which makes you hear the album for sure. It's a good one overall although I found the author's subjective – negative view of the growls (hehe I love growls J ) a bit of a down point j/k .. Nice read!
9. Zantera – 6.3 Pure Reason Revolution The Dark Third
Zantera uses comparisons and examples from time to time. He talks about references used in the albums which is a nice touch! There also is some information about the band. In a few words, the review gives you a nice package of information both about the album and the band. Very neat!
10. boy_floyd 6.2 Mastodon - Leviathan
My general observation of this round is that those who nagged the most performed better :P... I know how that translates… it just shows that you care…. Floyd was one of the last ones to submit and and I know starting off gave him the hell… But once this boy starts, he's a rock star… You are guaranteed to get one of those unique, vocab-rich, super fun and super funny write-ups we all know from the forums.
floyd was very poetic in his description of how he met Mastodon (whom I love, as you might know), then this album and how the songs moved him... I've always loved reviewers with unique styles...
You know those reviews, where you can actually tell that the author is wearing his serious face the whole way? The dead serious ones that look like a scientific review? WTH man! I hate them… (oops that was an overstatement .. oh well) There is science to it but music is more about the soul, the feelings... There has to be a way to convey your feelings and understanding of the album in a witty or entertaining (or at least stylish) way, right?
floyd's review was not one of those….it wasn't one of those you would readily see in a magazine, but in music blogs.... It was hilarious yet professional and clever. Awesome work! Good job!
Finally the two stars of this round: lonestar and yorost-ar :neverusethis: I know I know :lol
11. Lonestar 6+2+1 IQ – Frequency (https://www.kirksnosehair.com/pics/smilies/bravo.gif)
Holy supreme literacy Batman!!!
I could have just said “all of the best practices I listed above" and left it at that...
Each line is very deep and almost geeky in the way it plays with the subject in such a manner that you can tell there is delight in doing so. After reading it, the passion, flow, technical grasp and depth of the review makes you want to go out there, find everyone involved in making of the album and kiss them on their cheeks. Heroes behind the masterpiece, Martin Orford, Peter Nichols, Mike Holmes are all properly credited and praised.
The review goes into great detail about every subtle thing IQ made use of without boring you. It has so much fun depth, I am pretty sure I still have missed some of the stuff in there after two rereads but I gained more insight into their technique each time around.
Even though it is a lot more verbose than the usual reviews, read each and every word with great interest. I don't know what they would do if they were aware that there was someone out there who understood the band this much.
I can picture him chewing at the end of his pencil, thinking out every aspect of this album…
12.Yorost 6,3 +2+1 Dead Soul Tribe - The January Tree :clap:
I’m impressed!!!! the weekend with cute little one must have brought good fortune!
Yorost starts off by giving you a broad and general idea about the album and where it sits among all other DST albums then breaks it down into items in a very professional and flowing manner. Then he looks at the album from all angles that a regular music reader would look for in a review. It's so well organised that after one reading you're doomed to remember a lot of things and when you come back to see one particular aspect, you know exactly where to look.
He gives you both the technical bits and a general feel of the album without overcrowding the mix. It wouldn't be an exaggeration if I said that reading through this review was as tasty as listening to the album itself… as it's written in a musical way… after reading the whole thing you are compelled to check out everything these guys have done so far…. nice composition Yorost! Way to go !
I haven’t got Dark Castle’s or Elite’s …I have waited for two more days but still nothing. Mike’s deadline has been extended as I mentioned earlier….I will rate them as they come, but won’t review as I'm done with this round now....
also a gentle reminder:
I won't post the album reviews but just the name of the artist and the album reviewed... If you want to share your review please go ahead and post it after the results are announced... or if you're interested in one particular album review, please ask one another to send it along .... Thank you
I'll post the ranking and the way forward tonight....
-
:D
As for the personal touch, I'm sure my review started with "This is the best prog metal album since SDOIT". I think that pretty much describes my feeling towards it.
Also, look at the number of posts in your roulette after the results for round 5
(https://img821.imageshack.us/img821/3153/obscure666.jpg)
-
It was just my humble opinion hun, hope you take it the positive way... A score of 6.3 must give you an idea what I thought of it I guess ;)
and regarding the number of posts :lol :lol :lol I know
-
Well, I can certainly see why my feelings towards that album were not clear enough and in no way I'm complaining about getting a 6.3. I'm really happy you liked the review :)
-
I thought you said we were being graded more on the album than the review.
-
I couldn't understand whether you're asking me a question or someone else.... but I didn't say "more"... but they were both taken into account.. That's why you got 3.7
-
Glad you liked it. Funny thing is I must have listened to the album twenty times when writing it, and now I can't stop, the thing owns me. It used to be in the middle of the pack for me as far as IQ albums go, but now I have it up top with Ever.
-
I loved it.. enjoy spending your well deserved pennies!
-
Hopefully the penny goes a bit further in the underworld of your roulette than it does here in the Bay Area.
-
Nem, I'm coming around on the growls ;) ... which I guess is why I should have noted that that particular album is a good starting point for me because it ( like Crack The Skye and Mastodon) helped me get into more music with some harsher vocals.
I just didn't do a good enough job explaining the fact that the melodic side being balanced very well with the growls is a good selling point to the album (at least for me).
Thanks for taking the time to read my jumbled review :)
-
:caffeine: Thanks! :caffeine:
-
I was going for a professional feel to it. Glad you caught that Nem!
-
Yes Joe, it was coming through all the way...
Web, thanks for keeping up the good work from the very beginning... I benefited greatly...
yorost, I'm lost for words!!!
well again... this was a pretty challenging round.. you guys did an amazing job... and I'm not taking the effort for granted... Thanks a bunch!
-
Honourable mention,
Cyclops :metal Psychotic Waltz - A Social Grace
Cyclops, even though he later on left the game, had sent me his review some time ago. I would like to mention his review since it was awesome...
It was a flowing, professional and a very tasty review which made me eat... erm... read it again just for the aftertaste... The review was not overwhelming you with technical side of it but utilising just the necessary amount of musical knowledge making you understand that the author knew what he was talking about...
If you have a blog or something I let me know so I can follow it.
This review would have got a 6 +2 +1!
-
Psychotic Waltz! :tup ...I'm going to be mighty sad if that reunion album doesn't happen!
-
oh that reminds me....it was really nice to read two reviews about Devon Graves’s work… I loved it....
-
Well, that's high praise, even if I totally misread the rules stating that it should be a 'review of an album released in the last decade' (which this one clearly wasn't) :facepalm: (plus the fact that 'Bleeding' (1996) is probably technically and production-wise their better album)
Just hope I pointed you towards some interesting music. Thanks Nem, hope you have a lot of fun with the game! :heart
-
I'm still yet to finish listening the songs you sent me... appreciate your time my dear... and thanks for the good wishes :)
-

Nothing wrong with the album, though! I think Bleeding and A Social Grace are pretty close, but my personal favourite is Into the Everflow.
-
So I think I'm going out on a limb for the next round Nem all in the name of exploring new music. They a a rock band that can be heavy, can be melodic and not heavy at times and have a groove to them. I will work tonight on picking a few songs for you to listen too.
BTW, they backed up DT on a tour. *Hint*
-
I'm intrigued!
-
I did say earlier in this thread that I have virtually no time to write a (good) review, but I suppose that got lost in the madness that is this thread. I don't really want to send you two sentences, but actually deliver something good, which is why you haven't had anything from me yet.
-
no problem Elite... just send it when you're ready.. I trust that will be some reasonable time....others know their own results so nobody should grow impatience.....
edit: spelling only... I haven't changed a 'she' to a 'you' or anything :p
-
Tentative Results

-
Alright! I'm better than average sexy!! :biggrin:
-
Aaaaaannnd SENT for round 6!! Check your PM!!
-
:tup
So... just a gentle reminder....
The last (almost) two days for R6 submissions!
Tomorrow I'll set the R7 up....
-
I think I already submitted right?
-
You have hun.
-
Round 6 was the band-round right? Like, send how many songs I want? :biggrin:
-
Spot on!
looking forward to them :)
-
I'm last :(
-
We don't know yet... There are 3 other players that haven't sent their reviews... and 3 other rounds.... let's hope that they screw it up :)
:hug:
-
Had to check my email to see what I sent. :P I'm staying with that band
-
^ see, your prayers paid off already kári :p :lol
-
I submitted, although it might be confusing since gmail gave me problems. Check your pm for the description.
-
No worries I am as good at managing chaos as I am at creating them :laugh:
-
The jury is still out on that one Nem. :P
-
Please don't be harsh on me!!! :|
-
Awww, I kid, I kid. :hug:

Awe Nem, minus two pennies. :lol

Sent my submission. Hope it's okay, and hope you'll like it. (though they're a bit different) ;)
-
The jury is still out on that one Nem. :P
Awe Nem, minus two pennies. :lol
You just worry about your own pennies, old man.
-
I need to worry more about loosing my marbles first! :lol
Can;t wait to see your review of the 4 songs I sent Nem. I know it's a little drifferent for you in the style of music you like.
-
I think I'm going to take another bath in this round, but you never know. I'm more curious about the ballad round, sent that thing ages ago, and I know it's a solid song.
-
I think I sent 11 songs from my band. But I love them, and I will terminate friendships with people who don't like them :xbones
-
So when are we getting the next rounds results? Just curious, not rushing our esteemed and exceptionally lovely roulette runner by any means. :)
-
I'm listening to your songs right now... Some solid bands there!
But I've got only 8 submissions as of now... I'll avoid giving you a list of names because I fear someone will come in and yell at me 'I'VE SENT YOU MY BAND .. CHECK OUT YOUR PM BITCH' :lol .. so let me get organised first... ;)
After receiving them all, it won't take me long to give you the results... You know I'm rather quick with assessing and announcing......

edit: phew!
-
Can I send you my three songs via PM? For some reason I was thinking we were exclusive to email but I'm probably tripping. Let me know and I'll send it to you within ten minutes.
-
PM is fine honey...
But I encourage you all to send mp3s if possible... as I listen to them all day long at the office.. again and again... and we all know what that means :)
I'll have to wait to get home for spotify and youtube links...
-
I've got
1. YTSE
2. Nekov
3. Rich
4. DTVT
5. Zantera
6. King
7. Yorost
8. Jboy
9. lonestar
-
I sent mine, didn't I? Let me know if I need to re-send it.
-
oh happened again.. of course you have.. my apologies :(
-
No worries dear. :)
-
Thank you my dear ... :blush just so many on plate now!!!
-
Lol, I put chicken on your plate.
-
yumm :)
-
Fitting since I made slivered sauteed chicken breast smothered in caramelized onions and stewed, multi-colored bell peppers tonight.
-
damn.. it's almost lunch time here and I'm hungry ... so I went :drool:
-
Round 6 band & accompanying songs sent!
-
How many rounds are left?
-
2 rounds .. one of which is the ballad round....
-
Oh well, I've had a band and performer singled out for the band member round for awhile, but after listening to their discography yesterday I'd rather just use them for an open round. The guy has highlights all over, but I'm having a hard time finding a single song to display him.
-
that's not fair :( I want him!
it doesn't have to be a single song btw.. that round is not about songs.. (well one option is) but other two options are more about one particular item of the band....
well I don't want to confuse you guys... but you'll have three options for R7...
Ok I'd better set it up now.... before complicating things further :lol
-
Well, that solves the problem. Hope you don't mind being obliterated by music. :)
-
NEVER! ;)
-
ROUND 7
This round is again a mix of writing and picking a song..... you'll be assessed on both aspects.... It's quite a broad theme if you consider this a theme at all:
What you can send me:
a) a band which you dig for its particular member:
e.g. "Porcupine Tree - Gavin Harrison .. here's his epic performance at ...... I think the thing that destroys me about him is the jazzy touch he employs... I remember one time, he did this and that.."
(if you go for this option, you're allowed to send me as many songs as you want!)
OR
b) a song which you dig for its particular part.....
e.g. "I dig Jacob's Ladder especially for those crying guitars..... that part literally sorts me out, bangs me up, tears me apart..... because this and that..."
I welcome both technical aspects and personal stories
(obviously one song only)
OR
c) a band which you dig for their usage of one particular instrument....
preferably something uncommon, unusual... you know, sth like "I like Dream Theater because they are playing the guitar very well" wouldn't cut it :) ... unless it's a unique, peculiar style - say, using a fiddlestick to play the guitar, playing a banjo solo in the middle of a rock song, etc...
(again you can send however many you want for this option)
Please specify which option you went with in the subject line of your PM or e-mail.... along with "Round 7 - User ID"
and
send me an e-mail if you can... that makes my life easier
Thank you!
-
OK, well since I think I have only one band left that isn't on your extensive list or is a classic rock staple that you know of, I guess I'll send them. I'm probably going to get slammed, but what the hell, it's all in fun. :biggrin:
-
Round 6 band & accompanying songs sent!
And now the right stuff! ;)
-
I just sent my round seven submission, and that's it for my songs, all sent. Bummer, I was getting to really like submitting to you too. :'(
-
Are bands from your last.fm allowed?
-

Crap, I didn't think about that. I'm not commiting to my submission till I hear an answer.
-
I thought it was all in fun? I submitted Chinese pop for a song, I think you can take a gamble with this one! :lol
-
Are bands from your last.fm allowed?
To answer that question, I will have to use a 'case by case ' approach.... send me a PM telling me which band you're considering.... there are bands on my list that I might accept...

*must think now*

You must have just changed it, I didn't notice till Chad said so. Looks good!!!

obscure, sorry I haven't sent a band yet! Is it okay if I do it tomorrow because here on campus I have a very, very slow upload and uploading a couple of songs to email to you might well take an hour or so.
-
That's ok kári... and since I'll be home during the weekend, I can do without mp3s.. so you don't need to worry about that bit....
-
I think I know what I'm going to send. Will do it soon.
-
Cool!
just a gentle reminder guys: please specify "round - your name - and which option you went with"....
I get a little too overwhelmed by the not-properly-labeled Pms and e-mails sent at completely different times... I mean it's not much of a problem but I tend to feel small when I make tiny little mistakes... :-[
writing the reviews now... you guys rock! :laugh:
-
I sent an mp3 for my round 8 submission, the original submission was only a youtube link.
-
Do those of us who follow directions get an extra penny, I could use all the help I can get.
-
worth considering ;)
-
So are we gonna see some band reviews today, I'm kinda curious about what you thought.
-
I reviewed all the bands I received... although still haven't got Mike's, DC's and Kari's.... (I guess ::) ) .... kári told us that he's gonna send tomorrow... DC is facing some problems with his PC... and Mike has still got time...
I'll post the results tomorrow... would that work mister?
-
Of course lady, it's your roulette, do with us as you wish. ;)
-
when you talk that way, I feel like doing :obscure: :xbones
-
Obscure, I don't want to quit, but I'm going to have to pull out, my mom's birthday is today, and I just don't have the time to do the write up, you can continue without me, it's alright :) I enjoyed being in your roulette, but I've just got a lot of other things going on atm.
-
ok hun... thanks for your contribution so far.. I enjoyed your participation too!
Happy birthday DC's mum!
-
Ok, one more question, can bands already used in the Roulette be re-submitted? For whatever reason, I'm having a devil of a time finding something I'm gonna be happy with.
-
If you must!
I love my players... never would torture you...... except a little :obscure:
-
Sent round 7.
-
properly labeled submission is in. thx :)
-
Honestly obscure I've scrolled back and forth through my music library several times and I just can't find a band that says "obscure will really love this band". It just seems like our music tastes are too different. I really don't listen to any metal at all. I have no idea which band to introduce to you.
-
Just send something you love, you cant be more off her taste than what I sent for rd.7
-
Honestly obscure I've scrolled back and forth through my music library several times and I just can't find a band that says "obscure will really love this band". It just seems like our music tastes are too different. I really don't listen to any metal at all. I have no idea which band to introduce to you.
I know the feeling. :lol I think Nem has a slightly different taste in music then I have myself, while we do share a few bands and artists, it is likely that that is where our paths cross (so to speak) and the rest is quite different. It has also been hard because I've had many ideas shot down, I guess Nem has checked out most of the bands and artists that has gotten attention on DTF. Well, if I at least get her into something, then I'll be happy. :)
-
Me too, I listen to very little metal or prog these days. Luckily some of those I do listen to are more fringe artists, but I still think half my submissions will be outside prog or power metal.
-
I have thoroughly exhausted my prog/metal resources, and Nem and I are on the opposite sides of the prog/metal equation, her being more metal, me being more prog. Kinda like Donnie and Marie with the "little bit country, little bit rock and roll" thing, except we party a whole fuckload harder. :metal
-
oh sorry guys... :( and I know the feeling too!.. been there...
It's very kind and brave of you (I mean those who have different tastes in music) to sign up for my roulette.. I appreciate it.... and you guys introduced me some awesome stuff.... and broke my resistance for some bands/tunes... I'm grateful for that....
kari.... why don't you use Radiohead for round 6? Seriously! I would really appreciate it as I want to see what I'm missing on.... pick the songs that you think I'd like.... or some other bands you think I wouldn't like.. I don't mind...
and for R7... most of my Last FM bands are within the limits.... just tell me which member that band is special for... or which part that song is special for... TO YOU!
hope that makes your life easier... and I promise I have taken and will take the fact that people have different tastes into account...
I am enjoying this so much.. thanks to you! and want you to enjoy it too.....
-
Heh, I just picked another band and the songs are uploading now ready to fill your inbox. So there you go. :) I hope you like them!
-
phew! great.. thx..
me happy and relieved :victorydance:
-
Can't wait to read your reviews Nem.
-
Can't wait to post them.. Seriously!
-
I bet you had a lot of listening with this round. many people send multiple songs?
-
I'd suppose so. I sent around 16 (?) minutes of music I guess, and I wouldn't find it strange of other people sent more..
-
Alright round 7 sent as well. :)
-
some sent 2 some sent 11.... I had so much fun listening to your entries at the office.... I was soooo productive guys... you wouldn't believe....
edit: 16???
2nd edit: cool kari!
3rd edit: let me post for heaven's sake :lol

edit: 16???
Sixteen minutes, not songs ;)

oh I see... :)

:lol ;)
-
We gonna get some reviews today lady?
-
definitely sir!
-
Sweet.
-
Sent for round 7!
Also Nem, just so you know, when you use that dark blue font, it's really hard to read on the Beneath the Surface theme which is also dark blue! That's always the danger with choosing the colour of a font, it won't change for people using different themes. :)
-
Morning everyone, or afternoon or whatever
When will we see results for round 6?
-
I'll stick with the black font then...unless people have better suggestions... :tup
Posting the results NOW...

Red might work for a color.
Also, I'm kind of waiting on round 6 results before I send round 7. While what I have in mind is in no way related to what I sent the previous round, I just don't want to waste time on something if I don't think you'll like it.

God, it seems it is not only the most complicated Roulette record but also the longest reviews in spite of the high number of players record I have J
You've sent awesome bands... Thank you guys very much, it's been the most profitable round...
Standings
(https://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu51/senemn/R6.png)
YTSE- 6.2 + 2 Atreyu
This only impressed me the first time around but after a couple of days, I listened to it in a mixed list and got hooked up. Vocals, the general sound are very impressive...
Ytse got a hit again - I am impressed...
This is actually the 3rd metalcore band Ytse sent me (along with Bullet for My Valentine - Unearth). I also like Trivium and As I Lay Dying... So he kind of reinforced the idea that I might really dig this sub-genre...
.
Couple of years ago I was introduced to this band by a fellow classmate... but I didn't follow up...being brought to my attention by someone whose music taste gained my respect over the time changed it for me though... I paid more attention this time around... or it might be that he basically picked the right songs... or the way it was served did the trick... or the performance in the morning.... :P whatever the reason, this is something I'll definitely dig...
He sent me two songs...
Coffin Nails... It has the potential to tear you apart - vocals almost physically hurt and these combined is one of my favourite tastes from music - you know, the song tearing you apart. Each time the vocalist went 'there's something missing in my life,' I went butterflies in my tummy...
Black Days Begin, the second song, was in my subjective opinion, less impressive as a composition although I can't deny that the sound quality was on par with the former. I liked the Slayer-y guitars at around 2:20 :) Lyrics, at a cursory glance, gives you the impression that there is depth to it...
Jboy 6.1 + 2 Neonfly
Wow.. that was beautiful Chad! Long live Power Metal!
Ship With No Sails is a killer!
The Messenger starts with some tasty drumming... I actually should say the drums are beautiful throughout the song … I dig that a lot... 'The Messenger’ opens like a power ballad but builds to something more powerful...
Also, the vocals are great! He has a great voice, with an impressive range. I don't know if you are sick of me finding resemblances between musicians all the time but his style, even his voice from time to time, I found to be very much like Jon Oliva's which is a "whoa!!!" factor in on itself!
They seem to be off to a great career me thinks... I’ll follow!
DTVT – 6.1 + 2 Tiles
DTVT, super quality sound… mm I know this voice… The vocalist sounded familiar… I was so sure a very brief google-fu would reveal where I knew the bloke from but it didn't happen... Nice, proggy vocal voice… Although this kind of makes you think that the voices of all these proggy vocals are converging into a common curve, since his voice speaks to my taste (definitely the type of voice I love), I'm not complaining. He reminded me of the taste I derive from Geddy Lee and Andy Kuntz from time to time... and the fact that Mason chose two songs from each album was taken into account… also his threat to unfriend :P
Honestly, I loved each and every song you sent…
What's with the guitars in Hide and Seek? That guitar riff is one of the catchiest I’ve heard recently! And the song is full of surprises as well. In the middle of the song, there was a point where I thought another song started... It seems, you not only found me a band I would like but also most probably my soon-to-be-favourite songs from that band!
Analysis Paralysis – jazzy bass base? Rockn roll guitars .. vocals… strange mix.. love it! It's very blues-y/jazz-y and catches me by surprise often.
Back&Forth’s rhythm section is very up-beat... the lyrics… I taste a little Dire Straits every now and then during the solos scattered around...
‘Tear water Tea’ was successful in tearing my soul apart – very emotional… and those strings, hurts you almost physically…
I love the band both for the guitars and the vocals... This became one of the best profits of this Roulette… Thanks!
Yorost – 6.2+3 Winds
WOW! Just WOW… Starting with Reasons Desire… From the first second I went "holy shit!" Very impressive intro, followed by a very early and impressive solo… It tells you to keep listening, promising great satisfaction... After the solo, the song drops down to a mild, soft string sedative... erm, solo, taming your metabolism gone wild at once... catches you by surprise… Then, it gets darker and darker slowly… Strings are dark and creepy as well this time with the demonic vocals shaking you… just brilliant!
I don't normally look for stuff like strings or the flute when it is metal. Or, better to say, I don't like their existence in metal. Although I respect them, Jethro Tull never did it for me for instance... but as it seems, this band used them so beautifully!
Being impressed with the first song, I move to the next... Beyond Fate... Piano makes me think that the darkness is over... but no...
So, minute 2:10, what the hey is happening there dude?
Third song is What is Beauty… This time the early mini solo does not take me by surprise... my expectations already went way up and I was expecting this one… Clearly, they don’t disappoint…when I’m half way through the song, though, the song takes me completely by surprise… As was revealed later on, Kael already have given the hints of these although since I do not want to form any opinion, negative or positive, beforehand, I first listen to the music and then read the stuff so the strings were a surprise for me as well...
The list goes on…
There is nothing I should change there … It is clear that I will be listening to this band for the times to come... I hope they keep composing!
Shame that they are studio only, I would have LOVED to see them live...
The fact that I enjoy this band a great deal, gives Yorost the top once again...
5 starmaterial
Nekov – 5. 7 Chickenfoot
Satriani adds a lot to the picture... His mini solos between the verses, I always found them impressive... The guitar solo and the heavy riff are superb. For instance, Avenida Revolution, around 2:30... Awesome
Up Next- What an uplifting song...
If I had this band proposed to me 5 – 10 years ago, I would have given maximum points for it... This has a sound I used to love... I could see some occasional influences although not very obvious but apparent... Like Jimi Hendrix and John Lee Hooker maybe...Now, only because my taste has evolved and I am looking for other things this got the points it's got – for quality, it is 10 out of 10 of course.
Awesome musicianship!
I did not dig it this much the first time around but this time... I don't know, maybe I have started with the right song... I listened to a mixed playlist full of R6 submissions, in shuffle… When I hit Avenida Revoltion, I went "oooh, shiny" and started writing these... J
Drums and bass are very impressive... Vocals? Spot on! Very powerful sound… me likey!
Zantera – 5. 1 Mew
Judging by these two songs, this band wouldn't be able to fit the bill for my restless personality… Not to cause any misunderstanding, let me tell you from the get go, everything I am about to say are not directly related to the band but more of a self-criticism… I can't put up with soothing sounds... I get bored instantly looking for some heavy, some darkness... The port where I seek haven is the same whether I'm happy, sad, laughing, crying... Also, I think the band's sound carry more shogaze effect than progressive flair – this kind of keeps me from appreciating the band... Even then, since the instrumentation in the second half of “Comforting sounds “ is heavenly and because I kind of feel that it has more to it than I can appreciate now - as the real gems tend to take a little longer to get into – this band gets a 5.1
King – 6+2 I Mother Earth
I am sad that I just discovered this band... I would have been a die hard fan if I were to stumble upon them during high school... I'm saying that because their sound is closer to what I liked back then... Although, it is not an easy task to say what the sound or genre is with them... Seems like they have everything; awesome musicianship, love them! I have a sneaking feeling that I won't get enough of them...
Rich –6 Sinergy
I wrote the below after the first spin… but after giving it another one, I said…. hmmm there's more to it than that .... and the score went up from 5.3 to 6! and found similarities with Guano Apes.. which is nice!
In all honesty, I got very excited when I first started with the first song… I said "Yes! Rich found me another gem here" and it was very hard for me to assess. I simply couldn't decide... then I broke their work into two big chunks and it got easier… General sound, which is great and song-writing, which is relatively weak…
She definitely has balls… I love female-fronted metal bands… And that album opener is really beautiful… Although when you keep listening you have the impression that you are listening to the same song repeatedly over and over again.. Songs sound standardized, formatted: chorus-verse structure, weak melodies.... not enough emotion.
That pains me as I see a lot of potential in this band, they're not quite up to that territory yet cause the songs are still in the middle I think… But so close… They just need better songs… It’s sad to imagine what this band could have been… They have an awesome sound overall but nothing strikes as special…. You know when there isn’t some good compositions, there isn’t much replay value.
They could be really outstanding with some special songs… Listened to the whole album, even though it is far from being a magnum opus, at least it rocks alright and it is pleasantly melodic! I will be watching them to catch whenever they come up with songs I would dig… that chick shouldn't be wasted man! Damn!
LOL, read what I wrote again and yes, I have repeated the same thing over and over again (the way the band feels... :P) But please look at it this way; mums would want their kids to be better and whip them to shape (did I say whip? Yeah, very PC :P :obscure:) It is not because they don't love their children... Well, you get the idea...
Boy_floyd - Jimmie's Chicken Shack 6 +3
Man... I loved their sound! ... It's been a while since I listened to some good grunge... This band satisfied a desire I wasn't aware I had for a while… All of the songs are nice and all but one is really very impressive... Dropping Anchor (killer piece) started off with an oriental air... coming from a culture infused with the mystical east, of course I liked it... The half tones, same oriental air, are in the vocals as well... vocal style is especially impressive, with the catchy bridge of "I will not play my hand just yet" – every time he went “do” I went "wow"… Pure brilliance… The bass – that comes to the front from time to time - is very impressive as well... I was sold at the first song… I have to confess, while I was listening to the batches of songs, I returned to this song often… impeccable!
A similar tone can be found in the High guitars after 2:00! My second favourite.
Then When you Die You’re Dead (lol) started… Rather different sound this time. It too has a great beat… Smells a bit like Arctic Monkeys and the final minute reminds me a lot of.Rage Against The Machine’s Killing in the Name, especially the vocals. And I’m not complaining! :) I really liked that part where repeats “Living increases knowledge”, passionate!
The socially responsible song Outhouse is pretty great too!
Lonestar- 6 Jadis
I understand why you like this bloke this much hun – I liked both songs… A nice proggy package from every single angle… quality stuff...nice melodies and wonderful guitar tones… Got a bit of an Alan Parson's vibe from time to time... Likey!
Wonderful World – around 2:00 is awesome… :tup
Seriously, I hold my breath with the guitars at around 7:00-8:30 in Holding your breath! Damn!
Elite 6+ 2 Sacrum
Another band I'll be sure to dig a lot! A lot of elements I like brought together... Electronic and heaviness hand in hand... Heaven! Me likey! Whispering vocals are super sexy!
‘Keeping Me Alive’ pulls off an outstanding feat in all aspects... guitars vocals and lyrics…
The video is awesome… That's what I call a stage show man!
Sacrum – Quarantine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJjsxq7iesM)
Webraider 6.3+3 Havok
Holy classic thrash revival Batman!!! Although I’ve been digging more modern sounds lately, there’s an oldschool-metal-head girl deep down… These guys, unleashed that girl… It wouldn’t be fair to say that all they are doing is oldschool classic thrash... They seem to have brought new elements... their own style to the table…
I listened to it Friday morning before going to work and wow... This made my life very hard!!! I was suddenly more interested in headbanging and rocking out than going to work… :lol I haven't been able to listen to it a lot by the way – nevertheless, I am pretty sure that this band is going to satisfy my heavy-hungry soul! I checked out their videos and loved the furious, wild, dark stance!
Kari. 6 - Massive Attack
I am definitely no stranger to Massive Attack… However, you have shown me that the band I left untouched after a few songs (even though I like them a lot) still has so much to offer! Awesome sound! It is good to see that we have such a good common interest… ;) and way to go finding that interest!
Damn man… I’m House MD geek and never known that it was Massive Attack.. and never checked out which I normally do.. thanks hun!
Once again... great job.. Thanks guys!
now my turn :corn :)

Mediocrity Wins :P (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUN3IZOXUcY)
Cute sweetie, very cute. Well I know I'm taking it in round 7, but here's hoping my 5 star ballad brings it home for me.

Holding on to my slim lead, which I think will evaporate with my risky Round 7 submission (but I'm sticking with it).
You forgot to mention what Webraider and Zantera sent.
-
Good band Elite.. won you so much money! looking forward to that review....
Ballads.. yeah... about that.. could you guys give me hand and let me know who sent their ballads.... you can even do better than that sen me the songs again :) it will be make life a lot easier.. Otherwise I'l have to go through hundreds of pages of Pms and e-mails.. thank you...
fixing that Chad.. thx...

Damn... are you guys reading all that?? :lol

Glad you liked it Nem :laugh:. It took a little while for me to like this band but with some time it sinks in nicely

No problem Nem, I'll re-send it when I get home tonight, otherwise known as morning to you. :P

One could tell from your last.fm over the last couple of days that you're loving Havok.

and best of luck with the defense!

Woot!

tough round, round 7.
Very tough.
I have more bands she hasn't heard of along the same lines with what's been working but...maybe a little selfishness is in order.
I am "me" after all.
Sending now.

Wow, I'm glad you like Winds so much! Never been much of a following for this band here, at least not in the last 7 or 8 years. Can't even remember how I got into them, maybe I was reading something about Arcturus and stumbled upon them. I figured they were a bit of a gamble, partly since they're more laid back ...sort of, in a way. :p ...but they ARE dark, even if it's in a different way than most metal bands go about it.
Your comment about the strings caught my interest. I often dislike strings in metal, too, but there are reasons for this. For one, a lot of prog metal bands do really crappy string synths, it gets annoying and sounds cheap in the overwhelming majority of instances you hear these. They just aren't done tastefully, some band just wants to sound big and special and ultimately throws in crap instead. Second, many prog metal bands use strings as an embellishment. Something that easily sounds forced, why the Hell are you doing that here? Other times it's just some standard thing thrown into their music, it isn't even really a part of who they are, so you don't get a feeling you're listening to that band but some recorded piece. Don't anyone get me wrong, I'm not saying it's always done badly, these tactics work great occasionally, but I've heard too many bands that would have been better off just skipping it.
Winds, though, avoids these problems. Strings are an integral part of who they are, the whole project is based on doing a sort of classical metal band. Take the strings away and you'd be sitting with woefully incomplete songs, but moreso, they USE the strings to create a sound rather than just place strings into their sound. They end up crafting a whole sound that works for all the individual pieces.
-----------------
I will make my submission, soon. Odd, this group rarely gets any talk on this forum, but while I'm picking songs I've ended up in two separate conversations regarding them elsewhere on this forum! :hat

yesss that's the key word I'd use to depict their usage of strings... "integral" part... but more importantly strings are dark and creepy.. that's where I got hooked up! brilliant choice!

Yes Nem, check your calendar

Yeah, and I'm traveling this week, so you won't be getting an mp3 from me.
Nice review. I've heard one song by them (Sunset in the Snowdome). Pretty good. Might have to check them out more (but later) - even though death growls aren't usually my thing.
-
The growls were kept to a minimum and are tasteful... even none on some songs... so these guys deserve a fair chance even from non-growl people... Crib (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0OVYPyUw5A) for instance...
and thanks Chad :)
and guys thanks for the kind words on my webzine! :heart

Finally got a chance to read the review, good stuff Nem!!! I'll try to watch the second part of the Kimball interview tomorrow, if I hear your voice before bed, I won't be able to sleep. :eyebrows:

Finally got a chance to read the review, good stuff Nem!!! I'll try to watch the second part of the Kimball interview tomorrow, if I hear your voice before bed, I won't be able to sleep. :eyebrows:
you bet your arse mister :obscure:
-
Morning babe, how you doing?
-
doing very well hun.. receiving a lot of e-mails both from friends, metal lovers and professionals :) I have three interviews and 5 reviews scheduled now :)
fingers crossed!
how about yourself?
not in bed yet?
-
That's awesome!!! Good to hear things are rolling nicely for you. Nope, haven't crashed yet, it is my Friday night after all, living it up with some Sprite and ye ole internet. I'm such a party animal in my elder years. :metal
-
Ha ha great! how many cups of Iced tea did you have today? :P
/drink police
are serious about watching pt 2 tomorrow.. come on now... we both now you want to watch it now :)
-
Only had three iced teas today, a bit off my pace. I'm in a bit of a mood, so I'll hold off on watching it till tomorrow, just want to let my mind settle for the day.
-
just three? I'm surprised.. you had three only in one hour that day :P
-
:lol I know, but that was an off day, at work I usually drink water, we tend to sweat a lot in the kitchen. And I do believe I only had two, plus one at the restaurant later. :P
-
so what are you up to on your Friday then?
-
Your looking at it, posting here and on another forum. I stopped by to hang with my friend for a bit on the way home, the girl with the Art business I told you about, but I like to take it easy, especially these days.
-
I wouldn't mind being kept in the loop ::)
damn womenz and their curiosity :lol
-
Damn oceans!!! Ok, crash time for me Nem, goodnight dear. :)
-
nighty night honey! :-*
-
the 24th is a saturday, or do you mean next wednesday?
Still no answer. When is round 8 deadline Nem?
-
oh sorry missed those posts...
well 24th is Wednesday in Turkey.. must have something to do with timezones :P
I meant 21st Wednesday... guys... .. where did that come from?
-
LOL....
meanwhile....some reviews get written!
;)
-
So you took a look... hey gotta tell you something... PM.. now!
-
Round 8 Ballad sent! :)
Let's see if I can manage to deliver you that round 5 review before tonight, or that I will just forfeit all my chances of winning (if they're even there :biggrin:)
I at least enjoyed participating in your roulette, thanks!
-
I meant 21st Wednesday... guys... .. where did that come from?
Will round 7 reviews be posted first? I'd like to see before I fully commit to the ballad I have in mind. If my Round 7 risk didn't come thru, then I may need to alter course.
-
Considering the fact that I haven't received songs from everyone, I might not be able to post results tomorrow... IN THAT CASE, I will extend the deadline.. Cool?
Thanks Elite... Likewise! I loved playing this game with such a brilliant group of people...
-
Trim the fat honey.
Roulettes are meant to be timely.
I always think that there are other people waiting to run theirs.
And the longer yours takes, the longer they have to wait.
Don't submit.
You can take the boat accross the river with the other fallen souls.
-
hey.. my roulette has been at a good pace... don't you think?
ok now.. waiting on just one person... and a Pm is sent to the gentleman...
There's also DC and Mike, but I haven't heard from them for a while now... so I'll post the results tomorrow and you will get to know what I made of your submissions... so all's well! :police:
-
Your tomorrow or my tomorrow? :P
-
I know :lol
Results: my tomorrow ...
Deadline: your tomorrow
What? :laugh:
-
Deadline: not necessary for the organized :hat
Results: patiently waiting :corn
-
What was I doing before this roulette existed? :angry:
-
More importantly, what are you going to do when it ends? :omg:
-
it's gonna end? :omg:
-
you can still ask for new music, or just run another roulette.
-
it's gonna end? :omg:
:rollin
I can see it now....
OK, Round 386445
From the genre of neo-grunge zydeco, I will be needing a song where the lead singer cheated on his taxes, and the accordian player has toenail fungus. Along with the song, please send video of a local elderly gentleman doing the twist to your submission. Were getting close boys, just a few more rounds and I'll be able to break this stalemate. Deadline is Sept 9, 2018.

See we're always at a good pace :lol
Damn RJ.... laughed my arse off at the office ... crying now.... :rollin :rollin :rollin

Speaking of elderly peeps dancing, did you hold on to that video of the old lady cutting the rug by the Cable Cars?
-
yes.. want me to post? :laugh:
-
Why not, just make sure I'm not picking my nose or anything in it first. :P That scene was SF in a nutshell though, too much.
-
That's the director's cut.... I'll wait for a while to unearth it :lol

Pretty much this (and that's coming from someone who is sometimes really slow at sending!). If you're setting deadlines, actually punish people for missing them, otherwise don't both with them. ;)
And if you're not setting deadlines, just PM people to remind them. That has usually been my problem, forgetting!
-
I do both honey, not to worry... I punish late comers (contrary to all other women :P ) and hand out reminder PMs....
-
:lol

I'm having a hard time picking a ballad for Nem. Sure I have a ton of Ballads but Nem is a different breed when it comes to much and the traditional ballad.
-
I wonder how those of us that submitted a ballad right away will fare against those that have waited.
-
Good question. I have a few lines up and I will figure it out tomorrow.
Send one that the style isn't her music but I adore to no end or,
Send something more her style........
-
I went playing one of my absolute favorite bands. If I go down in flames, I'm going to pilot the damn plane.
Also, the lack of you guys in my thread is making me jealous.

I've been too busy to check out the music but I promise I will. I've got to say, I don't have much on your list so far and that's a good thing. I love listening to music I haven't heard.

I hear ya King. I've had one in mind since the very opening post, but the results of my round 7 submission will dictate whether I send that one. I've been listening to my 'Power Ballads' playlist the past few days to come up with a backup. But for someone who considers Jacobs Ladder a ballad ... Well, I just dont know. And given I'm at the front of the parade right now, I need to make it count. I don't want to be like Marino in 84 - if this is gonna be my closest chance of winning a roulette, I'm gonna make it count.
Also, the lack of you guys in my thread is making me jealous.
Fear not prof, we're there. Hard to chat or make comments on complete unknown bands and albums.
-
I just sent her one of my most favorite songs for the ballad. I'm confident in it, should get out of last place after she drops me for my rd.7 submission.
-
Say hi anyway...it might be a week or more til I hit something you know again :) My next two are about as unknown as unknown gets, and are only this low because they only have one album each, and one band has been retired for almost 25 years.
That goes for the rest of you clowns as well. Especially obscure :P

Attention
I've been reading your concerns about my difficult to satisfy taste and strange perception of ballads ... you'right... as I said in the very beginning, this will be the most difficult round!
If you have submitted your ballad early and now have second thoughts.... feel free to change your submission... just please make it clear in the message that you sent earlier and you have changed your mind.. blah blah blah....
Having taken all these discussions into account, I extended the deadline..
New deadline is 22nd Thursday!
If we're doing this, let's do it properly...
-
seriously?
(files complaint)
-
ignored :P
-
I want round 7 results!
And I will stick to my ballad, thank you very much. :P

Sign up or not, i'm still gonna send you new music.

I'll play again, but I have a whole thread of goodies for you to check out.

Lotsa fun.

I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I had been given better scores :P. I kid. This was really fun in every way.
-
aww.... how I love you guys... fantastic then... we'll play again!
DTVT, I'm going to your thread right after posting the results!
-
have you enjoyed this as much as I did? shall I sigh up for another roulette?
Still got two rounds to go, and you're all ready going through withdrawals, I love it. :lol
(but of course, please sign up for another one)
-
Nem, I'm not sure I'll be joining your new roulette. I'm already having issues finding bands for you in this one. Then again, I'll be running another roulette in some time so I might get to know some stuff to send. We'll see how it goes.

I hear ya Nek.. I haven't got the guts to sign up for yours either :laugh:

Now Attention
(https://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu51/senemn/standings7.png)
1. ariich / Option A – Ark Jorn Lande
Jorn Lande is one of my all time fave vocalists and you found the band. oh his I check out the least… I've known about Ark for a long time now but I do have a long list; haven't been able to get there yet.
'Just a Little' … the sound is not my cup of tea in general but for some reason I liked it - I reckon it is the vocals.
'Heal the Waters' :omg: on the other hand, stole my heart instantly… Every second and every element of that song are beautiful! I haven't stopped listening to it yet - in the song category, this one wins the round!
2. Jingle.boy / all three options Damian Wilson
Now, I found the songs just north of mediocre initially... But when I got to them a second time I started off by reading Chad's write-ups first. To be honest, this changed things… as you might have observed it has been a significant element of my roulette… I do care about people's feelings and thoughts… and the way they convey them… Chad pulled this off by impressing me with what he's written… 'Sent to You' was particularly good…
3. kári / Option A The xx: Romy Madley Croft
It didn't blow my mind, to be honest, but good sound overall… I like… Whenever I crave for this genre I will be listening to them… Actually, I prefer very good examples of a genre I'm not quite into rather than mediocre examples of the genres I love… This, obviously, affected kari's score.
4. Nekov / Option A - King Crimson - Bill Brufford
You know I am very enthusiastic about playing the drums even though I'm a rookie yet - would you think it is possible that I wouldn't appreciate the genius here? Mesmerising! Good job honey!
5. King Option A / Demians – Sapphire - Nicolas Chapel
Very good choice for this round… fits my theme so well… the fact that the album was recorded by your man who played all the instruments is pretty impressive…. And in his own bedroom?!?! WTF? As a music journalist, I'll look into that and probably write about him in the near future… And the sound is really good as well… well deserved pennies… thanks…
6. Ytse / Option C Arena - keyboard
Whoa! I'm not a keyboard person but this man delivers…. I like… I went ahead and watched the live video of this song and it was plain awesome… thx!
7 – DTVT / Option A+B Enchant
I liked and found this band very impressive - that song is one of those that almost physically hurt - very emotional vocals, gourmet solos... I couldn't get enough of the song… Perfect… This is going to be in my play lists… Very nice submission… one of those stood out!…
8- Zantera / Option C Gazpacho
Violin adds depth and richness to the sound... good choice, me likey!
9- WebRaider / OptionA Devin Townsend
Devin Townsend has been a grower for a while now…
Nice write up as well… I like
10. Elite / Option C (Vocals) Enochian Theory - The Fire Around the Lotus.
Marvelous… vocals are indeed supreme… the chorus with the clean vox – growl combo is beautiful…also they are new to me! That's a plus… me likes this…
11. Yorost / Option A Zero Hour/ Troy Lipton (bass)
'Tendonitis' – the 1st song I listened to from the list you provided.... it was strange... I don't know what to make of it :P
'The Temple Within' – 2nd song and I said… hey now we're talking… Nevermore-ish sound… I dig Nevermore a lot… The song that comes to mind is... Inside Four Walls... the resemblance is uncanny... more than a bit, come to think of it… I will look into that ehe J
'Falcon's Cry' – Brilliant… 3rd so bizarre riffs and vocals… appeals to my bizarre soul…
'Strategem' – 4th I'm sold Overall… its sound is between melodic death and progressive - killed me where I stood… it happens to be one of my fave crossroads…
12. lonestar / Option A – Grateful Dead - Jerry Garcia
Really nice but it's also a tune that I don't relish anymore! However, as a chef, RJ knows how important presentation is! Here, I'd like to remind you guys that write-ups carried a lot of weight this round and the bit that helped his case this much was “He carries this band like no other frontman...” - “and when he passed, so did the band, for there was no way the Dead could go on without Jerry.” These are the lines that I was looking for….
13. Boy Floyd / Option B Song: Byzantine - Jeremiad / part: solo
boy floyd was the only player who went with Option B. He sent me the song for the jazz solo at 3:15 which he describes as one of the sexiest guitar sections he's ever heard…. And yes, indeed… I loved each and every second of it!
-
So by my three second calculations, my ballad will need at least a fifteen to get me even close to a chance to win this thing. All though it is a great song, I'm not sure our lovely hostess will find it worthy of fifteen points.
Thanks Nem for appreciating my love for Jerry Berry, as a Berkeley Alum and an SF native who has seen the Dead over thirty times, he holds a very special place in my heart. Very few are the bad moods that a good hour of listening to Jerry and the boys jam can't get me out of, they give me peace and serenity like no other. The day he passed was truly a heartbreaker, only the passing of Pete Townshend(which hopefully is a long way off) will probably affect me more.
-

actually she can....
Special Round
But there will be one slightly difficult round:
The thing that makes it difficult is the fact that it will be relatively more specific theme. Since I know that almost nobody likes specific rounds, I am giving you the theme right in the beginning and will accept the songs all throughout the roulette to ease your pain … so you’ll have plenty of time to find me some decent stuff… just don’t forget to tell me which song is meant for this round (in the subject line)….
What makes this one difficult is my taste… As you might have seen many times over from my posts, I am not a ballad person. They tend to take more time to grow on me… However, there are ones that really shake me to my very core… For me to like those, there has to be something special with them. When it is a ballad, I pay more attention to lyrics for instance. It has to have some magical riff, a special solo, melody,… something…
Can you find me that song? Let it hurt me; make me feel like I swallowed a dozen butterflies; make me fall head over heels in love with the song. In brief, let it make me feel something…
Since I want to reward effort, this will be a double point round… I will assess these at the end… so it will be worth to invest time and effort in it.
Here is a list of songs that fit this bill:
Dream Theater – Misunderstood
Rush – Jacob’s Ladder (dat amazing solo)
MSG – When you’re gone
Vanden Plas – Phoenix (yeah... it's a ballad for me ;D)
Well there’s loads of others but I have to keep them for the future roulettes I’m gonna play….
-
Song sent, hope it gets approved.
-
guess I kinda got lost in all the options.
still glad you liked my tune.
-
Since I want to reward effort, this will be a double point round
Fucking hell to the yes!!!!
Listening to it right now, it's worth a bajillion points to me. :heart
-
and you are to me :heart
and you're cool with the song Jimmy...
and yes I like your tune spider :eyebrows:
-
and you are to me :heart
:laugh:

:laugh:
Glad you liked it. Hope you liked the additional thing I sent in the email too ;)
-
that thing :omg: :hefdaddy
-
Ooooowwwwwww!!! Do I go with a gut wrenching lyric about a guy who's in love with this unattainable girl and she wont give him the day and you feel the disdain in his love?! The guy is a bit creepy. I love the lyrics. I'll send them with the song. Even though the music is simplistic and sparse and maybe not Nem's style I think I'm going for this song. It's one of my favs and it's achingly sad.
# piece band that all three sing. Yeah, I'm going out on a limb!!
-
:laugh:
Glad you liked it. Hope you liked the additional thing I sent in the email too ;)

-
boy floyd was the only player who went with Option B.
I beg your pardon... I upped everyone and did all three - so what if the music wasn't your cup of tea!?!?!? What I lacked in quality, I sure made up for in creativity. :biggrin: Degree of difficulty was definitely a 4.0.
Man I'm so fuckin torn right now on what to send. Which means no matter what, I'm screwed. When I know instantly what to do, I score righteously. When I agonize or contemplate, I lay a turd. That's been my M.O. in Roulette's.
Damn. Will make final decision later tonight.

It's complicated but with practice you can achieve it

Me too. Just happen to be out of town this week. I blame the short turnaround between rounds ;). However, my extra bonus credit that I have in store will more than compensate.

On another note, stop writing about that awful song and start listening to the beautiful ones we sent.
-
"UM NO" emo needed!
-
:umno:
-
yes thanks ;D
-
Some ballads are blowing my mind now!!!! Damn.....
-
Well that's a good thing for a person not into ballads.
-
I know!!! I'm grateful!
-
Some ballads are blowing my mind now!!!! Damn.....
You're welcome. ;)

:-*
-
Morning babe, how goes your day?
-
strange! A guy reached me yesterday to ask me to promote a French band fronted by a Turkish guy... They are coming to Istanbul for a gig... I said I was happy to help.. he called me today and we had an hour of talk about whole lot of things and turned out that he can add so much value to my future business as well... win win station popped up out of the blue... we're meeting next week first in Ankara and then in Istanbul.... he's gonna come to my DJ performance as well.... good times...
so that's pretty much about today... how about yours mister? are gonna cook some awesome dishes today?
-
Very cool, I hope that works out for you. Is there any chance we are going to see video of this DJ performance, I'm quite intrigued myself.
Today's my Monday, and my boss is running the show today, so I'm pretty much spending the day getting ready for the weekend, mindless shit that helps me get into my "work" mode. I do get to find out if I'm Employee of the Month today though. It's more a popularity contest than anything else, but if I do win, I get another free multi course dinner at our high end restaurant, so that's cool. And it gets me into the Employee of the Year pool, which usually has a prize of a cool $1000.
-
Sounds awesome! I crossed my fingers for you!
I'll think about that video ;)
-
Sweet. :hat
Now get back to your ballads young lady!!!!
-
I was on ballads almost all day .. now feel like finding a well-hidden narrow street and set myself on fire... I'll let the birds watch me burn :lol
damn I should have planned an uplifting round right after this one... It will take me ages to recover :laugh:
-
:rollin
I'll see what I can do for you....
-
pretty please!
-
Go check your email....
-
my saviour :heart
-
Anytime love. :heart

I don't think anyone will complain if you add a last minute round. Just saying ::)
-
ok then people....
I'll add one more round... either speak now or forever hold your peace!
let me find a theme...
-
*rushes to DTVT's thread to find new bands*
-
Do happy songs. I know a lot of them :laugh:
*rushes to DTVT's thread to find new bands*
:lol I think I need to do this myself
-
Do happy songs. I know a lot of them :laugh:
Wait, I just sent her one of my happiest songs. Crap!!!
-
Nem...remember in Nick's roulette thread when I said, "Happy songs are generally crappy songs", and you agreed with me?
Don't to happy songs.
-
Nem...remember in Nick's roulette thread when I said, "Happy songs are generally crappy songs", and you agreed with me?
Don't to happy songs.
Since you like this emot a lot I'll use it with you. :youfail:
-
There is a reason there is an entire genre of music called "The Blues". I've yet to see the a successful genre called "Sunshine and Kittens".
I rest my case.
I'm not saying there aren't any good happy songs, there just isn't a whole hell of a lot of them.
-
So Nem, how did the happy song I send you fare?
-
All this setup on what a slaughterhouse the ballad round would be... now it sounds like it might be fairly normal. :p. I hope we aren't disappointed!
-
pretty gun hun... but you know.. I'm problematic with ballads and happy tunes :) I know I wouldn't revisit it frequently.... or freak-uently :P
I'm with Mason on this one... happy songs are not for me.... if we go for a happy round.. it has to be triple point round and you'd better get ready for 1 penny each :lol
and that goes for the ballad round as well.... but I've warned you, haven't I? :laugh:
-
Well at least the ballad I sent was as depressing as they get. :lol
-
Well good then because my ballad's lyrics are as dark as you can get. :lol
Ninja'd lonestar. :lol
-
:ninja:
-
Whoa? :lol
-
I have my moments,
-
oh yes you do :eyebrows:
-
:ninja:
Bring it!
:deadpool:
-

Only thing I'd say is triple points sounds like too much for any one round. Seems like it would risk the final rankings just being a reflection of the rankings from that one round.
-
I wasn't serious my dear.... :laugh: was just trying to emphasize how hard it is for you to find a happy song that I'd really like!
-
What do we mean by happy anyways? Would you classify that Hiromi song I sent as happy? A lot of jazz fusion I listen to I would consider calling happy, although you could probably just call it performers performing.
-
good question... I ask it to myself every time a roulette runner asks for a happy song.... specifically in my roulette though, you've got a lot of leeway to interpret the themes in your way... ;)
-
my happy song for instance: Drowning Pool - Let the Bodies Hit The Floor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zHNfzXSqLQ&feature=share)
it makes me happy for some reason.. I want to jump up and down....
-
You are a sick woman. :lol
-
I know what I will submit for a happy song... :lol ...its too absurd mot to submit. :lol
-
:lol
WTF Nem?
-
What??
I know :lol
-
If that's your happy song, I don't see how a happy round would be any different than an open round. :lol
-
good point :lol
another one: just the band name is enough to put a smile on my face (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ6HapWnhfc) :lol
-
Ballad sent.
-
This is a good ballad for Nem.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5_HhqcbF_0
-
:rollin :rollin :rollin
-
JUST GIVE ME THE F#@$%^& ADDRESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
-
if that was your official submission, with twice the pennies this round, you could make it to the top! :laugh:
gotta hit the hay and dream a theme now....
feel free to check out my OTBOA review on my webzine... comments are appreciated!
-
I'm listening to OTBOA right now. No matter how much I listen to it, I just don't get why everyone likes it so much.
-
It's ok, but it's one of the weaker tracks (bottom 3) on the album. Actually, I think my three least favorite tracks on ADTOE are the first three in some order :lol
-
ahahahaha :)
well my dear Nek, I would actually rather write about BITS or BAI.... Outcry or LNF... the list is long... but there are reasons why I picked OTBOA:
- Grammy nomination came with this song.. it adds value to my review and makes it more professional.
- my target audience is not only the DT fans like us.... it's a broader base... so I wanted to go with a more mainstream song first.... who knows maybe I can make some people say: "mmm, well this band is worth to check out"
- it has a video
- it was the single released before the full album
so there's loads to talk about besides the technicality...
also the frigging song is good man!
-
Honestly, it's by no means my favorite, but I do feel it is pretty well rounded. Not to over-the-top with the solo's or instrumental wanking, not too technical... just a nice solid tune
damn ... ninja'd.
-
oh, and good monrning Nem.
-
:lol exactly my thoughts
ninja'd too now we're even
morning dear :)
-
happy song...that one I sent you earlier makes me happy and sad at the same time.
-
So is it official? Will there by a 9th Round? If so, I gotta start thinking.
-
Yeah, I need official looking, bolded text describing the round before I commit myself to the insanity of finding another song.
And good morning Nem.
-
who knows, I was sending her tunes before her roulette started....she might as well finish it and let others start or sticky this as "Send Obscure Music" thread.
-
:rollin
-
who knows, I was sending her tunes before her roulette started....she might as well finish it and let others start or sticky this as "Send Obscure Music" thread.
I'm so doing this!!!
Yeah, I need official looking, bolded text describing the round before I commit myself to the insanity of finding another song.
And good morning Nem.
:lol morning sweetheart...
Now:
Attention
The official looking, bolded, long title for the 9th and last round of my roulette before I sticky this as "Send Obscure Music" thread
I'm actually pretty surprised that you were keen on doing another round as I've been extremely demanding with all the write ups and everything...!!!
And considering that you were OK with my endless wishes I'll be a lil demanding again :biggrin:
and this round will pretty much destinate the winner as there isn't much difference in the scores.... ;D
now.. what I want from you is kinda complicated again... you know I like spicing it up... while making it harder for you ..lol... he he . you're gonna hate me... wait for it ....
nevertheless I'll give you two options to let you play to your strengths.... for both options you'll send me 2 things...
Option A:
I want a song... rock and metal only.... so that's pretty much an open round (theme-wise)
and
an emotional memory or a fictitious story that will impress me while I'm reading along with your song... devastate me... enthuse me... take me to cloud nine, destroy me... break me into pieces.... sth.... but impress me... and I know you can.. You guys have some writing skills!!!
Option B:
send me 2 songs... again rock and metal only...
---------------------------
I'm indifferent between the 2 options.. just give me 2 things I can't forget!!!
start digging in... ;) :heart
-
rock and metal only....
So no more of my hippie shit, is that what you're saying? :biggrin:
-
kinda ;D
-
My idea of a happy song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYFWLxUHYHI#t=152s)
-
yeah.. I have to wait again... :(
-
If that comment was about the link I just posted, I can send you an mp3 if ya want.
-
I love you more than a little girl loves ice cream :heart
-
(https://www.barrylou.com/art/otherVoices/ahShucks.jpg)
-
:laugh:
-
Whoa!!! If I knew that this would be the kind of songs that I'd receive for a happy round, I'd definitely go for it!!!! :metal
Damn... I feel happy! :laugh:
-
I know right?! Melodic death metal makes me feel chipper enough to go on a killing spree.
-
me too! and nice definition of happiness there :laugh:
-

no worries I'll be patient :laugh:

Sent to your email :tup
-
Morning. Yay for round 9.
ahahahaha :)

- it has a video
- it was the single released before the full album
so there's loads to talk about besides the technicality...
also the frigging song is good man!
I uderstand all the reasons why you write about it and I think it's perfect, I just like to show my disliking for it.
Honestly, it's by no means my favorite, but I do feel it is pretty well rounded. Not to over-the-top with the solo's or instrumental wanking, not too technical... just a nice solid tune
I actually feel that the instrumental wankery is way too much for me, not only in this song but throught the whole album.
-
fair enough hun ;)
Josh, I can't view photobucket either.. but nevermind honey! thanks anyway :-*
-
Is there a deadline for this round?
Option 2 is sounding good, as Im not feeling very articulate at the moment... Must get my 2nd cup of coffee!
-
:lol :lol :lol
I haven't set a date yet... announcing it early on to give you you some extra time to give it a thought...
-
Ok.
Consider that one from yesterday Song # 1 of 2.
It should win the roulette by itself in my opinion.
It's so powerful.
-
shall I consider that write-up as an official submission also? ;)
-
That song should also be a future "song of the day" on your site. You can encorporate the Killswitch ex-members new project angle, on top of the charitable foundation they're supporting.
-
will definitely do... thx hun!
-
Nem, can the 2 songs be from different bands?
-
yeah sure... I actually prefer them to be from different bands...
-
So option 2 is open so long as it's rock and metal, right?
Two bands at once? I'm all over it. ;)
-
I am fucking clueless as to what to send. This may take a bit.
-
Attention
Let's say next Tuesday... so you've got time... ;)
So option 2 is open so long as it's rock and metal, right?

That's right! ;)
-
Let's say next Tuesday... so you've got time... ;)
Great. Thanks. I work 40 hours between now and Tuesday, and is that your Tuesday or mine. :P
-
A Rock or metal song with a story?!
(Let's Put) The X in Sex by Kiss commin' up! :lol
-
Let's say next Tuesday... so you've got time... ;)
Great. Thanks. I work 40 hours between now and Tuesday, and is that your Tuesday or mine. :P
yours mister... so it leaves you around 80 hours to find two songs :laugh:
and Tuesday was the first thing that popped into my mind for some reason ....
A Rock or metal song with a story?!
(Let's Put) The X in Sex by Kiss commin' up! :lol
:lol ... something in those lines yes...
-
Sent round 9
-
Nevermind, found a band not on your last FM that I actually own. We're cool. No emotional connection but some kick ass music. I'll send it out tomorrow.
I also should note that when I start to type in last FM, Chrome suggest yours to me, not mine. :lol
-
bahahaah nice :lol
-
It's kind of hard because I don't listen to "power ballads" that much.
-
me neither :lol
-
I'm not even sure if I have any in my library, let alone recommend you one. :D
-
quite a challenge :laugh:
-
Kari, you should take the ballad round as a semi-open one. Nem considers Jacob's Ladder a ballad....
-
It's a ballad man! .... damn.... why the hell did I go for a ballad round... it's making me sick :lol
-
Depressing or not your cup of tea?
-
I love depressing.
-
Well shit, my ballad should be perfect then.
-
I imagine we all submitted depressing ballads. Kudos to anyone that sent a gushy love song.
Submitted round 9 by pm, will get you mp3's Monday.
-
I'm on antidepressants now.
-
So when are the ballad reviews coming?
-
I was hoping that you wouldn't ask this question tonite :lol
well during the weekend let's say....
inb4 you ask me whether it's my weekend or yours :lol
-
ninja'd
I'm not rushing you by any means babe, take your time wallowing in your ballad induced depression.
-
I imagine we all submitted depressing ballads. Kudos to anyone that sent a gushy love song.
Submitted round 9 by pm, will get you mp3's Monday.
I didn't send a depressing one but it's not a gushy love song either. It's somewhere inbetween
It's a ballad man!
No it's not Nem...no it's not.
-
Check your email Nem.
-
Hey where is everyone... Your ballads put me to sleep last night at 10 pm :lol where ere you when I was raising Sue?? :laugh:
and I must have listened to them a lil too much that I love every one of them now :lol
but not to worry.. I remember the ones which impressed me the most at the first listen!!!.... so yeah we have stars this time around too.....
so.. am I lonely tonight? :-\

I got your bonus pennies right here. *grabs crotch*
-

-
So, now that it's 4:30am, what are ya gonna do?
-
Hey where is everyone... Your ballads put me to sleep last night at 10 pm :lol where ere you when I was raising Sue?? :laugh:
I have that effect on my wife after ten pm. Wait...what?!
-
:rollin :rollin :rollin
-
Happy listening. Richie Kotzen huh? Never heard his solo stuff before.
Chat tomorrow, I'm goin to bed.
Edit ... question though - the "emotional memory or a fictitious story that will impress me while I'm reading along with your song", that doesn't need to be the story of the song, does it? Do you expect the story to be related to the song?
-
No, not at all..... the only limit is your imagination... you're free as a bird....
-
Check your emails lady!!!
-
;) :o :laugh:
-
How's your day looking dear?
-
busy with editing video interviews... and other stuff about webzine..... writing ballad reviews and a nice gig at the end... :)
-
Damn, you one busy girl. Kinda easy to be busy when you love what you're doing though, right?
-
oh, hell yess.... I'm loving it! the interviews are putting a huge smile on my face while editing.. well sometimes one noisy laughter :lol....
-
No, not at all..... the only limit is your imagination... you're free as a bird....
Shit Nem, you're hacking in to my security camera's now? ? ?
Maybe you meant for the song. ( :lol :lol). I need my 2nd cup of coffee. :biggrin:
*listening to library find tracks and/or story*
-
Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.... I was sitting on my desk... in a serious manner and doing some serious stuff.... and look what you've done!!!! now I'm literally ROFLing :rollin :rollin :rollin
have your second cup!!! NOWWWWW!!!!! :lol

-
Nem, you need to look at the Random Caption game. You'll get a chuckle!
-
Really?? will do then!
are you guys ready to watch my Brent Smedley (Iced Earth) interview? cause I'm gonna upload it in an hour or so ;D
Also.. you two... I'm gonna publish your album reviews tomorrow.. if you're cool with that... under your nick names or real names... up to you....
-
No, not at all..... the only limit is your imagination... you're free as a bird....
Shit Nem, you're hacking in to my security camera's now? ? ?
TMI dude, TMI.
-
:lol
-
OK, got all my songs sent in, again. Now to just wait for reviews....... :corn
-
:corn
-
STOP EATING POPCORN AND START TYPING!!! :biggrin:
-
oh, it was me who's supposed to type... yeah, sorry :p
-
:lolpalm:
-
So I've got quite the funny story about a certain song I saw live and what happened to me at the metal concert so I need to type also!! :lol
Nem. Are you ok with a band I'm guessing you know?
-
that would be ok as long as you give sth new as well ... in addition to that duo ;D
-
Round 9 sent!
-
*looks in thread, doesn't see reviews*
:crypt:
-
were you in Nick's roulette?
We're a long way from the threshold of hell, trust me.
-
Yeah, but Nem is always bragging about how good she is handling the roulette and whatnot so a little pressure on her might work
-
Actually I'm just alleviating my own boredom, nothing more.
-
were you in Nick's roulette?
We're a long way from the threshold of hell, trust me.
He wasn't but I was. It was with a full sense of irony that my final submission was "Had Enough". Got my 9 points too! Guess we wait one more day. Chef might get results before his bedtime.
-
hi guys.... extremely drunk ;D...
-
Evening/morning doll... completely sober.
Nem... I'm extremely disturbed by your listening habits earlier today (last night for you). Must've been a helluva party! :friday:
Chef... seems as though you're definitely waiting another day.
-
hi guys.... extremely drunk ;D...
LOL I'm not, see you tomorrow.
Couldn't be too drunk though, you spelled everything right. :p
-
evening/ morning guys....
I just woke up .... 2:15 pm here :omg:
ok... you can guess what I'm gonna do first thing in the morning.... ;)..erm... em.. I mean afternoon :p
-
It's 7:25 am here. Waiting for the coffee to brew. Then off to go food shopping. Then sit on our asses. It's a rainy day here.
-
Sounds like a proper Sunday king ;)
-

Sunday.
Raining.
Picked up coffee on the way to working some OT at the office today.
;)
-
oh :(
they have to give you a day off during the week.. it's not fair!
-
oh :(
they have to give you a day off during the week.. it's not fair!
sigh...they really don't, but Im thinking this week I'm deserving of one.
-
yeah.. take one off... and enjoy it to the fullest!!!!... I don't know... do crazy things... sometimes weekday holidays are better than the weekend ones.... ;)
-
maybe I'll watch an interview or two online.....
lol
or maybe I'll do some online shopping instead.
-
well yeah.. there's endless list of the things you can do online! :laugh:
inb4 RJ says stop chattering with Spider and publish the bloody standings :lol
-
especially since I grumpily grumped about all the chatty mc'chatty 9 pages ago.
so ya...post the damn resutls.
LOL
:D
-
I'm a perfect multitasker... do don't you worry.. I'm on it! ;)
and by perfect, I mean I carry out thousand things at the same time with minor mistakes in each :lol
-
Ruben, I'm about to announce the results my dear... you haven't thrown in the towel, have you ???
-
Morning folkes.
-
Hi darling....
-
How's the hangover? :P
-
well after sleeping for 9 hours sharp, I haven't got any hangover.... I'm feeling perfect! ;)
-
Big ass sleep I. Here. Coffee machine is beeping, just about to pour my first cup.
* waits patiently*
-
ok.. I'm ready to announce... but now we're now all waiting for Chad to have his second cup.. :p
seriously I can't post the results before that... God forbid! :laugh:
-
*chug, chug, chug (god damn that's hot), chug, chug chug*
Ok, done. Post away
-
OK I'm here, where are those results? :caffeine:
-
Chad? you're telling me the truth right?... I can't get exposed to your posts before the second cup... again... :p
-
I'm 3 cups in, showered, waiting for the little lady to shower and then off to food shop.................
-
OK Nem, you got half an hour before I got to move on. Gotta get my morning tea you know.
-
Chad? you're telling me the truth right?... I can't get exposed to your posts before the second cup... again... :p
Do it, I'm done. Really.

Sent! Sorry.

Sorry, can't wait anymore, gotta scoot. I'll check in at Starbucks.
-
Got to go food shopping. Will check it out when I get back.
-
Still here (and liking what you're listening to now!)
Just going over my potential Round 9 choices. I do believe that I'm going to follow the tried and true axiom of Jesse "The Body" Ventura (King and Chef will know what I'm talking about)
Win if you can; lose if you must; but always cheat.

Ahh, the one thing this thread was missing, foogie nostalgia about wrestling. Ultimate Warrior was mjy hero back then.
-
Very well done guys... you achieved something impossible... had me listen to ballads all week long! and I enjoyed that!
Standings first!
(https://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu51/senemn/R8.png)
1.Ytse SOLUTION .45 - Lethean Tears
Damn… this song blew my mind.. very metal… Took me back to my metal bar experiences during my high school years! I find myself humming the song all the time...
2.DTVT Enchant - Beautiful
Very, I mean very impressive... Vocals can drop one dead! The bloke's voice has a very natural sadness to it… This is one of those songs I would go back to all the time… I can't write enough about it… Beautiful indeed!
3.Zantera Blackfield - Hello
The song "Hello" by the duo Blackfield. Me likey much! The atmosphere is very impressive... very well done my dear!
4.JBoy Hardline - In The Hands of Time
Chad’s submission starts with classical guitar, making me wary – but what's that? What kind of sorcery is that voice??!? All I can say is “whoah!” - me likey indeed. Well done my dear... I'm sure I will listen to this a million times!
5.ariich Nightingale - "Alonely"
I love, and dare I say it, LOVE Dan Swano… but you know what? I love his growls more ;D having said that, this one was really good!
6.Nekov Florence + The Machine - No Light, No Light
Very unique, impressive and high quality! It would be very hard to call this a ballad but since my understanding of what a ballad is have confused you guys already, I don’t fucking care... Great submission hun!
7.King Dada Star You Are
Very good King, very good... I admire your courage since this is not at all my style... However, there is something you don't know about me – I am a die hard Sade fan. When I drive along the west coast (over here) in Summer, I always have Sade (or Pink Martini but that's another story) in my playlist – this makes the experience complete for me. This band gave me the same kind of taste as Sade does...
8.WebRaider Candlebox – Sometimes
Candlebox is in my ‘check out properly’ list although I haven't had the chance to get to them yet... Thanks Web, very nice tune!
9.yorost Solas: The Poisonjester's Mask
Percussions and the other “non-standard” instruments add a lot to the atmosphere... The only element – and that is the most important element for me – that keeps yorost from being one of the best performers is the vocals... In my subjective view, vocals can make or break a song quite easily and candy floss female vocals are not for me... General atmosphere of the tune is very good though!
10.Lonestar Marillion - Sugar Mice
Good song overall … Fish has a very nice voice… but never have been a fan, I'm afraid… I loved the tune but where the song started to climb … I just knew for a fact that I wouldn't be revisiting it…
11.Elite John Butler Trio - Ocean
I just don't like the classical guitar sound – at all, I'm sorry to say :( This has a country flair to boot... You know, potential players for my next roulette might want to remember these... Of course it is a good tune; there is nothing bad to say about the musicianship at all...
12.Boy floyd Gordion Knot – Grace
Beloved Josh have already been sending me songs long before this roulette and since he introduced me to mind blowing bands, he got his special invitation. He was the one who introduced me to Gordion Knot for instance – my gateway to a completely new adventure …
This tune is not their best, in my opinion but this doesn'T change the fact that it is bloody impressive. I can picture myself going back to Grace especially when I'm really sad... Thanks buddy!
13.kari -5.5 ? - Lucky You
not bad!
-
:(
Oh well, still the best song ever. Gonna listen to it now in protest of your opinion. :P
-
The song is by The National. :)
-
Now watch my rd9 submissiion score high, proof that we are on opposite ends of the spectrum. :lol
-
You don't like classical guitar? >:(
:(
:sad:
-
I tried the sample of that Solution .45 song. Very nice indeed. Filing that away for later.
Were you still sticking with double points for the ballad round?
Let's hope I have the stamina to hold out one more round.
-
:lol well you asked for it guys.. hang in there :laugh:
and yes you got twice the pennies!
You don't like classical guitar? >:(
:(
:sad:
I don't :sad:
too romantic for me... I like rough ;D
-
Is there a round 9 theme yet?
-
yes hun... just go a page back or two...
-
Alright, sorry, thanks. :)
-
I like rough ;D
well round9 should be in the bag for me then. :P
-
trying so hard not to comment on that surprising submission of yours now....damn....
-
Damn, those double points took a bad submission and slaughtered me.
Jingle even killed me with my favourite guitarist... that stings.
-
double points changed the scene immensely for sure.... but as I said, finding some ballads for obscure was quite a challenge.. so those who could achieve that had to be rewarded!

That's ok, but...
It really hurts that jingle.boy submitted a song I love from an album I love where someone who has been in my top 3 artists running for over a decade is not only playing lead guitar but produced the album! Makes me feel extremely stupid, although major :tup for jingle.boy and you giving it that score.
-
Cool :tup
and I hear ya!
I felt exactly the same when people submitted Dan Swano and Leprous on DTVT's roulette and felt really stupid as well :lol because back then Leporus was really blowing my mind and I was bitching about them all the time.... "listen to this bands goddammit" :lol
and I was so sure that Dan Swano was on DTVT's LastFM because I considered him for Mason... but as it turns out my eyes just tricked me...
-
Well I like to take chances in these here games. My bro is a hug Sade fan. (Bass player, nuff said) I almost sent Enchant. Great pick by Mason. Love that song.
-
Yeah, that was a greay pick, too. Solid band all around. I like to take chances, too. Getting a decent score on an unexpected genre is its own reward. Tons of good musicians in the world.
-
Indeed!
Now watch my new interview (https://www.ladyobscure.com/index.php/2012/02/29/iced-earth/) lazy-arses... Damn....
-
Lazy?!?!?!
-
What???? what are you implying here ? :P
-
Just a bit nudged at being called lazy. I did wake up two hors after you, even though you're nine hours ahead of me. ::)
-
someone is a lil grumpy today.... why you no sleep a tad more?
-
Sugar Mice is awesome. Scoring the song low is not awesome.
@j.b - You might want to check out more Solution .45 before you dive in. I like them, but they don't seem like your type. Lots of harsh singing. Just a heads up.
-
someone is a lil grumpy today.... why you no sleep a tad more?
It wasn't an option. :angry:
Mason, thank you.
-
Sugar Mice is awesome. Scoring the song low is not awesome.
oh c'mon now.. not again....

Hey, it's a great song, with quite possibly the best closing line ever written. "If you want my address, it's number one at the end of the bar, where I sit with the broken angels, clutching at straws and nursing our scars."not that I can relate to it by any means
Thanks for the powerhug, now after three hours of fellowship work, I am going to start my ten hour shift and cook for 300 peeps, if my lazy arse can handle it. ;) I'll pop in to keep my sanity in check though, that;s what this place is best for. Peace!!!
-
:lol well you asked for it guys.. hang in there :laugh:
I could do this for weeks! What I meant, was I hope I have the stamina to maintain my lead. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can ....
and yes you got twice the pennies!
Ahh... I see that now in the running total.
@j.b - You might want to check out more Solution .45 before you dive in. I like them, but they don't seem like your type. Lots of harsh singing. Just a heads up.
Thanks for the heads up. Lately I've been testing the waters at Grooveshark before I commit to buy.

I say this in total fun and jest ... (in a Degeneration-X like manner) SUCK IT! :rollin :rollin
I debated heavily sending it, but recalling back to Nem's like of Journey (despite the bad video of Separate Ways), I figured it would be well received.
-
Good call :tup
-
If you don't like Scar Symetry jingle then staw away from Solution 45. He's the former lead singer.
Glad you liked O.

Just busy as fuck, and a few slightly less than competent co-workers, no biggie. My brain feels like a scrambled egg. A few happy(my happy, not yours :P ) songs in my inbox when I get home in two hours would be a pleasant way to finish the day. ;)

Nighty night darling :-* :-* :-*

The band I'm thinking of sending I don't have on mp3 so you might get Spotify links I'm afraid. But I'll have another think tonight and see if what else I have on mp3 that I could send!
-
hey don't let that get in the way... you're of the potential winners right?... spotify link will do....
-
Morning Nem. Hope you're enjoying the happy song I sent you :P
-
Quite brave of you to send me a happy song Nek!

Well, it's not like I was close to winning or anything :)

:lol wrong... 4 or 3 players are yet to send their songs.... my check list is at the office.... so I can't say who....
-
:lol
Kari seems to be the slow poke in this roulette.
-
:lol
-
poor Kari.... we're just on opposite sides of the spectrum... he deserves an applaud for his stamina!
-
:clap:
-
stamina should always be applauded...especially by the women.
-
Heh it's okay, I can take it. For some reason I just seem to think I have loads of time left in this roulette. I'll get around to choosing two rock/metal songs. Do they have to be of the same band?
-
No... I prefer them to be from different bands... lol deja vu....
we do appreciate it Spider... we friggin do!
-
stamina should always be applauded...especially by the women.

This right here should tell you something Spider
-
I had no idea there was another round! :lol
Remind me fast again, you want two rock or metal songs from different artists/bands? I'll look into it first thing tomorrow.
-
:lol
yes hun... either two songs (preferably from different bands) or a song and a memory/a sci-fi story :)
do it before these sharks eat you alive :laugh:

Sending!

OH! You never made that clear in the original description for this round, and to be honest I got lost in the pages of chatter since then, so if you said it, I didn't see it! :P
Want me to send another song by a different band?
-
i litterally went hunting in my office for a stack of important papers so I could throw them up in the air in exasperation
Ariich....the Circus Maximus of roulette contestents
LOL...fuck man.
*smack*
-
:lol
But seriously, all her request said was:
Option B:
send me 2 songs... again rock and metal only...
---------------------------
I'm indifferent between the 2 options.. just give me 2 things I can't forget!!!
So I sent two songs. If it's fine for them to be by the same band then grand.
-
Both of mine were from the same band. Then again, I'm scraping bottom, so my opinion means exactly dick at this point in the game.
-
yeah sure... I actually prefer them to be from different bands...
Did you skip page 32?!?!

sending two songs from the same band: perfectly fine
complaining, whining, nagging bitching: not! :p
if you're sure with your two songs... all's well.... 'different bands' is not a criterion or anything.... if you have sth in mind that you think I'd like... send away.....
Ariich....the Circus Maximus of roulette contestents
I lol'd. Hard!

Nem, isn't it like 5 am there or something? You should be in bed :)
-
I know!... I'm losing sleep over this roulette :p
-
This roulette has been way too spammy to make it easy to go back and see what bands have already been sent, so if I repeated anything cut me some slack.
-
I have no issues with the amount of :spam: in this roulette.

:lol Don't worry I wasn't complaining at all, just thought you'd added an extra criterion after the original description of the round, but if not then that's all cool, I'll stick with what I sent as they're great songs. :)
I have no issues with the amount of :spam: in this roulette.
Me neither, but it DOES make it harder to look things up.
-
I know, just my library is much smaller than all of yours. I would have to try real hard to even know 80% of the bands sent, much less worry about sending something all ready sent. God bless a simple life.
-
Shit, I just sent Nazareth's Hair of the Dog every round and managed to hunker down nicely in the middle of the pack :)
-
morning/evening gents....
how are your doing?
I'm ready to announce the winner... but I don't know who he is... :laugh: cause I'm still waiting on Elite and Zantera! ;)
-
Hey Nemesis, caught me minutes before crash time.
Edit: See, I told you my kindle's autocorrect did that to your name.
-
Are you excited to see how you performed? cause I'm excited to tell you how :D
-
Yeah, sounds like I finally got one right. Still a bit miffed over the Sugarmice revise, but ill get over it. :P
-
Sent now. Hope they're okay.
-
cool hun!
Yeah, sounds like I finally got one right. Still a bit miffed over the Sugarmice revise, but ill get over it. :P
miffed? :lol
I'm glad you said that now... cause I'm gonna publish my roulette Volume 2 rules today.... and you just added one to the list! :laugh:
-
And what might that be, no being all butthurt over a song getting slammed, or no obscure American slang?
-

Morning Nem.
-
hello hun ;)
-
I'm eager to see results, even though I won't win :'(
-
you started to perform really well towards the end... WHYYYYYY?!?!!!
I mean why not from the very beginning? I'd love to see you win this shit among all these dinosaurs
-
morning/evening gents....

Well I can't win anyway, because I skipped a round, but I'll try to send you one or two songs this afternoon, deal? ;)
Deadline was today, so I'm still on time.
-
oh yes.... that's right hun!
-
Funny, I have a craving for some T. Rex now!
Good morning. Anticipation is burning inside me like a thousand suns!

:rollin
I don't know what happened in the beginning. I'm blaming you for not realizing what a great taste in music I have earlier :P
-
fair enough... so it's me who started to perform well towards the end :lol
-
Morning.
-
I perform well always at the end. Wait...what?
Morning.
-
Me too King. It's always a happy ending. Women always just seem to want more as they're getting in stride (hence round 9). ;D
-
:lol
-
:lol
you guys all performed well in the end... I don't know whom to choose :laugh:
-
Me too King. It's always a happy ending. Women always just seem to want more as they're getting in stride (hence round 9). ;D
I can see the round 10 theme now, songs appropriate for cuddling.
-
...so shouldn't we be discussing how you're going to get those land titles to us?
-
Hey Nemesis, caught me minutes before crash time.
Actually, when I was coaching football, one of our players had a kid brother whose name was actually Nemesis. It was on his birth certificate. A life of supervillianry awaits him.
-
bahahahha ok :lol
-
We gonna see some results soon, or are we still waiting on peeps?
-
Çrap, I'll shutbup now before the other boys lynch me. I'm pooped babe, I'll talk to you later. Goodnight. :heart
As someone who could probably win a king of typoes contest at DTF, I'm not criticizing; but how do you accidentally include a pooping C?
Ç
Second thought, it's not a pooping C. It's lonestar tucking his junk for Nem.
-
It does kind of work well with the word crap. ...Çrap. ...like a visual display.
-
Just saying that a ç is pronounced as an 's'.

I've got nothing to do tonight.. so I can post the results soon.. provided that Elite sends me one... eh em sorry two....
-
Final Round, sent! in two parts.
-
Cool... I'll listen to all songs again.. altogether... and post the results asap... I'm curious too guys.....
-
Ç
ok, figured it out. I posted that on my fire right before crashing out, and must have had my finger on the c too long. What language is that from?

Çest Bon!

Oui! Çest incroyable!

Where you expecting something else? Without you 2 the average age on this roulette would be in the teens
-
Actually, the average age is pretty high. Mason is in his thirtys, and king is so fucking old, he has a single digit phone number.
-
I'm 31.
-
don't you dare make a comment about my age! :p
-
If you knew my home phone number lonestar, you'd crap yourself thinking it's perfect for old people. No joke. :lol

Is it similar to the combination on my luggage? :neverusethis:

...so you just told her she's extremely old?
-
damn... this is downright fogeys roulette... :lol
Only Rich is kinda in the middle I guess... If we don't take Kari, Nek and Jimmy into account... (which we perfectly can as they sent shitty things for quite a few rounds :P :P :P) we can conclude.....
hang on a minute... I enjoyed the fogey submissions only :omg:... is this telling something about my age... and FUCK! :censored

ok... check the thread out in half an hour guys!
-
Here we go guys...... first off.... this was an amazing round... truly amazing.... RJ ruled btw!!!! :2metal:
well this could be a great finale.... BUT...
when I put the scores on my spreadsheet, I got a very interesting result. The four top players have the exact same score - (if you don't count the decimals), but there is more. Then I went back to the whole record of the roulette (yes) and really, the decimals are incidental and there is no way for me to decide which one of these four wins. Therefore I need a tie-breaker.

1.Ytse
Times Of Grace – Live in Love 6+ 4
Ytse sent me two amazing tunes… Both heavy as shit and so emotional! You had to make this harder at the last minute, didn’t you??? really loved these ones!
Across the Sun - Tipping The Scales 6+4
I was hooked… and immediately checked their other stuff… another yes! Like'm!
Nekov
Genius - There's a Human 6+4
Whoa, what the hey did you guys do this round?? Amazing super band... This tune is spot on Nek… Although, the “human there’s a human” bit is a bit funny – when taken out of context at least :) Solo is perfect… Vocals, no need to say that they are killer... I am angry with myself that I haven't check these guys out... Band is chuck full of musicians I love!
Von Hertzen Brothers - Faded Photographs 6
Bahahahah very brave to send me a happy song… and you know what? That was amazing! That actually won you an extra penny, the risk you took… Polyphonic vox, melodies, piano – everything's just perfect! Kudos!
Lonestar 6+5 / 6+5
Eviscerated - Grotesque Ken
Eviscerated - Relentless
There isn't a word in the English language to convey the amazement this tune made me go through... You just introduced me to a brilliant band from my favourite style of music – very aggressive, dark and wild... When I stumble upon good examples of Melodic Death Metal, I turn into a little girl who found a candy bar! The melodies! Variety in the vocals is so good... Shame that they released only one album and then went their separate ways :-\
You can't get enough points this round it seems!
Jboy
Poverty's No Crime and Live in the Light 6+2
You know the feeling, when you hear the first couple of notes you know that you are going to like the song (although, a bit of wary waiting did happen until the vocals kicked in :))... Those vocals though, they were brilliant as well! Me likey a lot! The guitar in the 4th minute? I will listen to that until the day I die... It is heaven!
Ten - Remember For The Brave 6+3
Come on guys, wear your armours, and wield your steel! Let us kill and die with our enemies’ blood on our hands! Let us break bones with our maces and cut flesh with our axes! Let us... come down the tables once we realise what we are doing...
I like this more modern approach better of course :)

Corelia - " Glass Faces" 6+5
I almost fell out of the chair when this song started... The bloke has an amazing voice... I've always liked the clean vox / growl combination... Couple this with the amazing drums never taking a breather, awesome!
2Sun Caged - Tip-Toe The Fault-Line 6+2
I like the jazzy upbeat thing going on with this tune... Vox are spot on... Great find!
Bass is very solid in this song... Vocals are brilliant as well... Perfect tempo... I would like to congratulate you for your outstanding performance throughout this roulette Web!
King
Dark New Day - Pieces 6+5
Holy shit… what the Good Mourning/Black Friday is this? Amazing song - I am in love! So emotional... I'm speechless...
Then I checked the band members out - well, shouldn't have been surprised by it... Very good job! I checked the album out - provisionally, I should say :) for now - and it looks like I will be a fan... Greatly appreciated!!!
Chevelle - The Red 6
My dear Flying Bizkit recommended Chevelle as well... The first tune he sent me was Saferwaters and I loved it... Rest of their stuff though was not my cup of tea so I stopped chasing them... This one is nice...
Yorost
Arcturus: Nightmare Heaven 6+5
Yorost, you have earned my undying respect for your taste in music, your knowledge and your very tasty write-ups – I'd like you to know that.
Brilliant tunes as always. There is an interesting sadness and darkness to this tune. The bloke's style fits so well into the atmosphere... Vocals go crazy near the end and if you have been paying enough attention, you suddenly find yourself in a different world... I liked it a lot!
It has some of the elements I like from electronic music to boot – a very good combination! (This will be my 'song of the day'... thx)
Twisted Into Form: Instinct Solitaire 6+4
Brilliant.. just brilliant!
Boy Floyd
Rage - Set This World on Fire 6+3
floyd sent me a band from my Last FM :D I'm guessing he wanted me to fortify my love to them :P That's fine, that's all fine... Since it is the last round and he is not one of those playing for the top anymore, I accept it...
For a while, after Carved in Stone was out, I haven't listened to anything else... I love these guys... I especially love the fact that only three guys is making that much noise... Good job that they almost visited me at home during the CIS tour so I could see them live...
After your song, I listened to my all time fave Rage tunes... God, I've missed them!
Actually, it is a happy thing that someone likes them enough to submit as a roulette song! Having said that.. I’ve never heard this song! It’s plain awesome! Thanks hun!
Ankla - Suelta el Ankla 6+5
What kind of sorcery is this? It is not for us humans to play the instruments like that!! The heathens gave me an eargasm!
Their music is so rich! Brilliant guitar melodies – I don't think the tune would bore me even if I had listened to it 1000 times in a row... In seven words, P-E-R-F-E-C-T!!!!!
kári'
The Jesus And Mary Chain - Just Like Honey 5
soft and soothing indeed! I don’t like soft :p
not my style I’m afraid :-\ but again appreciate the quality of the song.
A Place To Bury Strangers – Deadbeat 6+3
This one on the hand was pretty good…. Loved that background noise, very impressive.. gives the song a wild and dark atmosphere!
DTVT
Intronaut - Valley of Smoke 6+5
Nice… The intro is fantastic! that drum beat makes you want more.... and dat bass.... and suddenly a huge twist right in the middle... all the things I like about music.... everything about this song is just beautiful.... great submission!
Kylesa - Tired Climb 6+4
Well just tells me to hang out at your 'under-appreciated' thread!The “Obscurreeeee(d)” shout was a good jolt :)
ariich
"Complex terms" 6+1
"Horizon to Zenith" 6+5
Great tunes.... again.. right up my alley! Listened to the whole album and liked it very much... If you had sent me Antabellum instead of Complex Terms, there wouldn’t have been a need for this tie breaker :P
Zantera 6+5
Cloudkicker - Dysphoria 6+5
Fuckin’ hell Jimmy…. You got songs like this and you hid them from me… WHYYYYY??? Love this so friggin much…. ordering the Cd … like NOW!!!
System of a Down - Holy Mountains 6+1
I know SOAD quite well... I accept it though since it took you a while and some sweat to decide on a song... :)
Elite
Whoa! Two amazing submissions from Elite!!!
Toxik - Shotgun Logic 6 + 4
Heavy shit.. and not an ordinary one... Really good, man... Love it... Vocals, riffs... all around awesome...
Royal Hunt - Tearing Down the World 6+4
The intro is friggin amazing... and the rest doesn’t disappoint one bit... Truly awesome!
I'd like to thank those who have been putting up with me for more than month and sending me great tunes... I enjoyed this so damn much!
so four of you ... send me whatever you want ( I mean songs ..lol..)... you've got only 24 hours.... I won't do any write up.. nothing... will just let you now who the winner is...
-
Your math is way off. I got 21 that round, not 18. That puts me in 1st place.
-
my spreadsheet is right... used two word documents today.. one at the office .. one at home... and was distracted with cool famous people ;D
so...... whatever that list says.....
-
and your math is not bright either ... you made 61.9 at the end of last round... add 21 to that.... and get back to me with the result....
-
:laugh:
You should check out the 3 Genius records. They are very fun.
-
oh bloody hell yess :-*
-
I didn't see where I was last round because that's like eleventy billion pages ago.
-
Cool, glad you enjoyed that one, its a bit off my radar, but I figured what the hell. Now I can tell Brad, the singer, he's got a fan on Turkey.
-
do it... NOW!!!!
or give me his number... I'll take care of it :P
-
Oh man ... Didn't quite have the stamina. Boy, not a good time to whiff when you're very liberal with bonus points!
Will study library tonight. Gotta dig deep.

Great tunes.... again.. right up my alley! Listened to the whole album and liked it very much... If you had sent me Antabellum instead of Complex Terms, there wouldn’t have been a need for this tie breaker :P
DAMMIT. That's actually my favourite song by them, but wasn't sure about it as an introduction as it's a bit longer. :lol Glad you like it though, the album is amazing. :D Although you didn't mention that the band is The Human Abstract. :P
-
It may have taken a bit to find my groove, but I finished on top, and left my lady satisfied. :hat

I'll smoke with you :hat :P

PS: dammit let me post guys!!! :lol
-
:lol Thanks Nem.
For the tie-breaker, should we send multiple bands, just one band, what?
-
well.... now that you said it .. I obviously prefer multiple bands.... :laugh:
hardest lady to satisfy on earth :lol
-
Hey, my score recovered! :lol I would have been shocked in the beginning to hear I would finish less than a point off first. :)
Your kind words are much appreciated, too! I've hardly had a chance to ever talk about a few of my submissions, it's just nice to be able to do so!
-
Hope to see you as a guest reviewer in the future too! :)

No kidding! :lol At least you made the tiebreaker! I'm pulling for you since you posted the Hardline song. :)
thanks for the : SOTD (https://www.ladyobscure.com/index.php/2012/03/27/arcturus-nightmare-heaven/) yorost :tup
:tup I was kind of wondering if that was the song you were going to post when you brought it up, earlier.
-
Okie doke, going to send you a song by two different bands.

Cool let's pick the king tomorrow....
nighty night guys!

Methinks on purpose, so you could extend this yet one more round!!! I will claim moral victory, since I am leading anyway (by however slim a margin is irrelevant). Also, all my kick-assness happened in rounds 1-3, when no fractional points were being awarded.
So, with the utmost love and compassion for my competitors

Oh, and in surfing thru the past pages, I found this:
On an irrelevant note, I was looking forward to my 5555th post and planning to make it special... Here's what I got :lol

well at least I could take a screen shot....
Given a recent purge, you have a 2nd chance.

Cool let's pick the king tomorrow....
nighty night guys!
I'm right here!! :lol
Had a blast Nem. Thanks for having me on this roulette!
-
Thanks for the roulette! It was good sending you some stuff ;)
To the top 4; good luck!

Ya...jingle really is the winner. But I'll play along. 24 hours? 1 more song?
-

Chad?!!? Thank you! Never thought of that! :dammitnick:

Holy withdrawal Batman!!! Guess all the lost souls have truly been abandoned. With RJ out now, I'll take up the mantel... when are we gonna see who submitted what, and the final victor? Although, I will always know that it was my foot that landed first in the Elysium Fields (by a fraction over my fellow Canuck) - and my "pre" submission before things even started was an impressive case of foreshadowing.
-
:lol
I don't think anyone has the stamina to take over lonestar's role in this roulette.

I'm still curious as to the winner, just now I have to take my shameless internet flirting with Nem to other threads. :P

No that I'm 2 cups of coffee in to my day I can publish my acceptance speech.
Oh YEAH!!! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Igui65gY5M)
Wow! What a yummy way to finish off my day last night. About as good a happy ending as I could ever hope for with Nem! :rollin Stiff competition in this one, redeems my musical prowess after 'sacrificing myself' in DTVT's roulette. Lots of fun - 41 pages of mindless banter, trash talking and great music. Shows how much this forum cares for and about you Nem. Even ruffled a few feathers along the way (wonder what I'm referring to?) It's quite an honor to be put at the top of this group of musical eclectics.
Can't wait 'til I actually have my own roulette, and likely a chance to hear a lot of these bands/tunes.
:tup :tup to everyone's participation
:tup :tup :tup :tup to Nem for a wild party for the last 6 weeks.

I'm in for the second roulette if you wish to have me.
