Ok guys, here we go. My first roulette was a success and I'm hoping this one will also be. I chose you because I believe you have a taste in music that is either very similar or very different from mine and both are a win since I'm looking to widen my musical spectrum, but also because I like you as forum members and think we can have some fun while you are fighting to death. I also made sure not to pick anyone from my last roulette so more people can have fun, Zander being the exception since he won the last one and deserves the chance to defend his crown.
Simple rules:
1. I'll run 8 rounds which I will make up as we go. Some of them might be very specific and some of them might not.
2. The scoring will go between 1 and 7. I consider that to be the best since it gives me a wide margin to judge songs but can also keep scores close.
3. I prefer if you send me mp3 so I can listen to the songs as I comute to work, second option would be grooveshark, third youtube and in case none of them work I can go with spotify which I can only use in the office. My email is in the last PM I sent you.
Who are you going against?

Here you can find a reference of what I listen to: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/nekov/bands_i_like/ (https://rateyourmusic.com/list/nekov/bands_i_like/). Not every band I like or know is in there but you can get a good picture. Here is my last roulette thread also: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=29008.0 (https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=29008.0)
Round 1: Open round.

Sent!
-
Will be following. From what I've gathered, most of the participants have good tastes, I think, so I might find something here that I like as well.
-
Nekov, is wma format any good to you, or must it be mp3?
-
I was indeed sleeping as well. Sending later this day, I just woke up :lol

Not for this round.
Nekov, is wma format any good to you, or must it be mp3?
You can send that. If my mp3 player doesn't recognize it I'll just convert it
-
What if I send a band that you do happen to know, which isn't in your RTM profile?
-
I'll disqualify you for not being able to read my mind
:neverusethis:
I'll just tell you to send something else.
-
Song sent.

Sent via e-mail.

When's the deadline?
You're all playing for second place bitches!
inb4 Z wins his 76th roulette

^^they're all breathing a sigh of relief that we're not in this one honey^
-
Excited, I'll be sending something when I get back home tonight.

When's the deadline?

I'll try not to put any deadlines since there are people that have a life outside DTF (ridiculous). I'm hoping people will send in a timely manner or at least post here a reason on why they are taking long.
-
Oh. Good group. I will be following.
-
^^they're all breathing a sigh of relief that we're not in this one honey^
;)
although I don't stand a chance in Nekov's
-
^^ I was going to say that you probably were relieved you were not here :P
-
tru dat :laugh:
it's gonna be fun watching tho
-
It's a brutal group, I'm just hoping I got a bunch of new stuff built up.
-
I'm not sure my brain will be able to handle all the awesome from this group :laugh:
-
If it does explode, make sure to film it, so we can make a handy forum gif in your honor.
-
:lol Will do.
So far i have half of the submissions. Good rhythm
-
raven will do what he does...he'll send songs that will grab the listener in the moment or in the theme, but not the best songs of the roulette.
And he'll win.
Again.
:)
-
You're just mad cause you ended up in second place with a 1 point difference. :P
And to be fair with the Z man, he did send me the best song in that roulette.
-
so is this my new chat thread then ... YAY... :laugh:
gonna publish Michael Eriksen interview in about an hour.....
what are you guys up to? :P
-
Sent.
There will be a miracle by the end of this... Zander losing. On the Roulette cover thread, I count 7 victories. How many have you *not* won dude?
-
Seriously, I need to include him in my next one, just to see if he can nail down my taste too.

-
I've lost a decent amount. I haven't kept track of my losses, but it's more than you might think.
I'll send soon. I've been on a plane all night, so I'm sort of jetlag and still need to search my library for something you might like.

Results are in
Player: Kari
Artist: Of Monsters and Men
Song: Little Talks
Review: This song made my morning. I was leaving home for work, it was cold, I was still sleepy and I punched this in my Mp3 player. Instant smile on my face. The combination of male and female vocals works very well, I normally don’t enjoy wind instruments but they were used wisely here and the melodies overall are very nice.
Score: 7
Player: Lonestar
Artist: Tears of Anger
Song: Light up my fuse
Review: :metal It seems to me that these guys know what they want to do and achieve it. Nice metal tune, good riffs. The solo didn’t quite get to me but the rest was nice
Score: 5
Player: Jingle.boy
Artist: Darwin’s Radio
Song: Erase/Rewind
Review: I got a good vibe from this song. It stars nicely and builds up well, falls flat in the middle and then picks back up towards the end. The piano sections and the vocals were the two things that really clicked for me.
Score: 4
Player: Wolfking
Artist: Sieges Even
Song: Tidal
Review: I didn’t really get into this song. Some parts I liked but some others just sounded like standard prog metal.
Score: 3
Player: Elite
Artist: Headspace
Song: Fall of America
Review: Another case of a song being too long. There were interesting parts with some nice riffs but others were just plain boring. I got the impression that this song could belong in a concept album and probably be better in context.
Score: 4
Player: LieLowTheWantedMan
Artist: Big Big Train
Song: Victorian Brickwork
Review: Nice prog song. It was easy to listen and was mostly well put together, good instrumental sections, nice vocals and very soothing in some passages but I think they tried to go a little further than they should have. At some points the song lost me.
Score: 4
Player: Ravenheart
Artist: Poe
Song: Haunted
Review: Nice song, very easy to listen and with nice vocals. Nothing special about it.
Score: 4
Player: ReaperKK
Artist: God is an astronaut
Song: Post Mortem
Review: I’ve seen this band mentioned before but never checked it out. It goes right down my alley in post rock. Nice melodies, well driven with nice transitions and a very good post rock sound overall
Score: 5
Player: Ariich
Artist: Moon Safari
Song: Heartland
Review: Can’t believe I hadn’t listened to this band before. So uplifting and melodic, nice handling of the time signatures. I also liked that they manage to keep the prog short and very listenable.
Score: 6
Player: Gorille85
Artist: Modeselektor
Song: This
Review: This was…. weird. I’m not much into electronic music but the song had some interesting beats. What threw me off were the repeating sample vocals, and the occasional random sounds. I think the core of the song could be used for something more interesting
Score: 3
For round 2 send me some instrumental song. I don't mind if there are vocals as long as there are no lyrics.
Also regarding repeating bands, if a band got a 5 or above it's no longer usable.
-
Good thing I have an "Instrumental" playlist. Going to peruse.
And intend to improve upon my middle of the pack score. You're right, the middle does drag on a little. FYI, Darwin's Radio is headed up by Dec Burke... who along with Jem is the key to Frost*. Just in case you didn't know.
-
Dammit, for the instrumental round I would have sent God is an Astronaut! :lol
Glad you dug the Moon Safari, definitely check out that album as a starting point!
-
Cool, glad you liked it. The instrumental is going to be a bitch though, you all ready know all my standard ones, including Martin Orford, which would have been my first choice. If the PM I sent you comes back negative, this might be a rough round for me.
-
Lonestar, I really liked your submission. Great tune. :metal
-
The whole album of theirs, In The Shadows, kicks some serious ass, check it out. I'm pretty sure they are done now though, haven't seen any news from them since early 2011.
-
I'll do that. If the whole album is as good as the one song you sent, then I'm a happy camper.
-
It's on spotify if you want to check it out...
-
I never set Spotify up for me, but maybe I'll do it, now that Grooveshark's down in Germany anyway...

Hey guys, I'm home sick today so it's the perfect time for you to send me songs. I don't have absolutly anything to do
-
Instrumental is right up my ally, I got a song but I have to access my other computer (I'm in the process of moving) to get it, I'll try to send something tonight.

Yeah, I was kinda surprised at that myself. :huh:
Narrowing down my choices... should be sending soon.
-
Song sent.
-
Shit, I can't send anything until tomorrow, since I'm not at my own computer. What I can do is give you a Youtube link of the song I want to send and send you the mp3 later. In fact, I think that's just what I'll do. Youtube link by pm, coming soon.
-
You sent me some very nice things guys :laugh:
Still missing Rich (not surprising), Reaper (might have ended up buried in boxes while moving) and Kari (he's out all weekend).
-
Nekov, I'm sending the mp3 version very shortly. I have to improvise, so I'm ripping it straight off the CD to send to you :)
-
Sent!

Oh man, that's a one point penalty at least!!!!
If he was the only one missing I'd do it.
-
Well not everyone is a prompt and courteous roulette participant I guess. :angel:
-
J.boy might disagree with the corteous part :P
-
I just got Rich's email so we can stop speaking ill about him
-
Who should we be speaking ill about? Kari?
-
He's at a music festival. It would come out as being jealous.
-
Not from me, I'll be at Dream Theater tonight, hope he enjoys his little music thingy.
-
So we'll see the results tomorrow evening? (if it helps *now* is evening for me)
And enjoy the concert lonestar!
-
I'm hoping both Reaper and Kari will send tomorrow so probably yes
-
Cool!! And Elite, thanks man!!!! :metal
-
I just got Rich's email so we can stop speaking ill about him
Weird, I sent it at 12:37 GMT, and that post of yours was at 16:20 GMT. No idea why it took so long to come though, but I expect an apology for your accusations. :P

Good evening!

Aaaaaaaaaaaand here they are
Player: Lonestar
Artist: The Edgar Winter Group
Song: Frankenstein
Review: Interesting song. I think it’s well put together and flows quite smoothly until the drum solo which kind of breaks the mood of the song. I’ve never been much into the Blackmore kind of guitar sound but I must say it works very well in the context of this song.
Score: 4
Player: jingle.boy
Artist: John Petrucci
Song: Necronomicon (Prologue – Epilogue)
Review: The first half stared very promising but didn’t quite deliver, even boring but the song half came powerful to the rescue. Some nice riffs, cool cymbals in the drumming, great time signature changes.
Score: 4
Player: Wolfking
Artist: Marco Sfogli
Song: Sunset Lights
Review: Nice. Very satrianish for a couple of moments there but what I would highlight about it is the keyboards cause I think that is the main reason this song is not just another standard guitar hero song. I must say that the guy really knows how to play his guitar though he overplays a little.
Score: 4
Player: Ravenheart
Artist: Dan Swano
Song: Encounterparts
Review: I was never sure of were the song was going cause it kept changing so much so from an overall perspective it was to grasp however each of the little parts had its own magic, nice riffs, nice keys, going from prog and heavy stuff to more listenable and calm.
Score: 4
Player: LieLowTheWantedMan
Artist: Birds and Buildings
Song: Birds Flying into buildings
Review: Very eclectic song, loved the drumming overall and how the guy is able to lead the band through all the madness, the jazzy beats were really cool and the transitions from the more darkly chaotic stuff to the more cheerful chaotic stuff, but overall there was a little bit too much chaos.
Score: 4
Player: Elite
Artist: Long Distance Calling
Song: 'Figrin D'an Boogie'
Review: Nice build up in the beginning, but then it went down. I didn’t understand where this song was trying to go really. It gets better in the end with some nice keys and riffs but overall it lost me.
Score: 3
Player: Gorille85
Artist: 65daysofstatic
Song: Dance Dance Dance
Review: As the name of the song implies, I wasn’t able to hold it still while listening to this. The intro is deceiving but helps a lot to set the mood for what comes next. Very upbeat and heavy on percussion. There comes a point in the song where it becomes stale and repetitive but it manages to go back up at the end.
Score: 4
Player: Ariich
Artist: Guthrie Govan
Song: Sevens
Review: I had heard Guthrie with The Aristocrats but this is a little different. The guy can pull of some nice melodies even when playing fast. As with most guitar players half the song is very interesting and the other half is interesting the first few listens but then gets a bit boring.
Score: 4
Player: Kari
Artist: 65daysofstatic
Song: Radio Protector
Review: Interesting how the same band can do two very different songs. This stroke me as post rock with some electronic beats to it which I think fit perfectly to the song. Nice melodies and a nice vibe overall
Score: 5
Player: ReaperKK
Artist: Michael Kelsey
Song: The Free Spirit
Review: The title of the song describes it pretty well. The guy just plays and goes here and there which is interesting at the beginning but then I felt like it lacked a bit of substance. The guy is really good playing the guitar and does some interesting stuff but overall it’s inconsistent
Score: 3

Player: Lonestar
Artist: Beautiful Sin
Song: Not the original dream
Review: Very nice tune. I loved the singers voice, I loved the simplicity of the song overall. The melodies were nice, there were some nice contrasts between the main part of the song and the chorus. The solo was a little meh.
Score: 5
Player: Wolfking
Artist: Trillium
Song: Machine Gun
Review: Kind of boring tune. The singer was good but the music was just plain ol’ metal, nothing much interesting. There was a nice break before the solo but that was about it for me.
Score: 3
Player: LieLowTheWantedMan
Artist: PJ Harvey
Song: Let England Shake
Review: This song has a weird but very likeable mood. Again a good singer but a very different kind of approach, it blends much better with the rest of the music.
Score: 6
Player: Kari
Artist: Air
Song: All I need
Review: Very ambient and smooth song. Easy guitar notes here and there, really smooth drum base and nice keyboard background and arrangements though it gets a little stale by the end.
Score: 4
Player: Ravenheart
Artist: Tori Amos
Song: Winter
Review: Her voice is really beautiful and this song is very touching. The piano is wonderful and the background arrangements are fantastic too. When the song was getting a bit boring in picked up and delivered a more powerful feeling.

Player: jingle.boy
Artist: Lighthouse
Song: One fine morning
Review: Nice funky beats here. Again a use of wind instruments that I actually enjoy so that’s a plus. I feel like it drags a little bit at the end but nice fun tune
Score: 5
Player: Gorille85
Artist: Foxy Shazam
Song: Oh Lord
Review: This was fun to listen to. I’ve seen the name of this band around before but never checked them. The voice of the singer is a bit hard to get used to but after a few listens it clicked really well with the rest of the song.
Score: 6
Player: Ariich
Artist: Frank Turner
Song: If I ever stay
Review: It took a while for this song to get a little interesting. The beginning was boring but towards end it builds up nicely, and then again fucks up at the end. It didn’t seem very cheerful to me.
Score: 3
Player: LieLowTheWantedMan
Artist: Gogol Bordello
Song: Wonderlust King
Review: This is not my cup of tea. It had some good string arrangements here and there but overall the music was not very interesting and the singer’s voice was annoying.
Score: 2
Player: Lonestar
Artist: Blind Melon
Song: Change
Review: Cool song. It’s simple, easy to listen and cheerful. Nothing special with it really.

Song: Beginner’s luck
Review: Well, the singer doesn’t seem very cheerful here, actually the song altogether doesn’t sound up-lifting to me.
Score: 1
Player: Wolfking
Artist: The Magnificent
Song: Holding on to your love
Review: This is the odd one out. You actually went with metal and I must say you nailed it. Nice melodies, the keyboard is used wisely and having Michael Eriksen is a plus.
Score: 6
Player: Elite
Artist: Magic Pie
Song: Endless Ocean
Review: What a beautiful song. It all falls together perfectly, nice melodies and very good vocals. Soothing yet touching.
Score: 7
Player: ReaperKK

Song: Focus
Review: I really liked the percussion on this one and it goes very good with the melodies. Even though the song is short I felt like it changed a few times but stayed very consistent.
Score: 6
Player: Ravenheart
Artist: The Cure
Song: Doing the unstuck
Review: This band always struck me as too dark so I never really looked into it but it seems they can go with a more melodic and uplifting side. The singer still sounds depressed but the rest of the song is nice and uplifting

I'll take that finski! Ever notice how AFTER you submit a song, you think of at least 3 or 4 more that might've been better?
*tip of the cap to wolfie*. Nice choice there.
Know exactly what band/album is up, just need to narrow down the song choice.
-
Thanks Chad. No idea what I'll send next.
-
Eh, I didn't expect even that. Sent that song for very personal reasons, the timing of a happy round was really fucking bad, no wrongdoing on your part, just a tough spot for me. The song made me happy, kind of, that's what mattered at the time.
Happy Chad?

Reaper has an excuse so he's cool. I might take a point or two from Rich unless he has a good reason. An I'll also take a point or two from you for trying to to sabotage other players :P

That'll mean I'll probably *owe* points. :biggrin:

Lot's of points.

Actually I haven't been listening to your songs a lot. I had a very shitty and busy week and didn't have a lot of time to pay attention to this.

Sorry for the long wait guys. Here are the results

Artist: Die Antwoord
Song: Evil Boy
Review: Sorry man but there wasn’t a single thing about this song that I liked. Way off my ballpark.
Score: 1
Player: LieLowTheWantedMan
Artist: Comus
Song: Diana
Review: There’s nice weird and then there’s weird weird. This song falls somewhere in between those two. It has a nice bass line that maintains the consistency of the song and the percussion is quite interesting however the singer’s voice was annoying as hell. I also like the string arrangements.
Score: 4
Player: ReaperKK
Artist: Across the delta
Song: The intensive Alibi
Review: Nice tune. It had a nice start but then it kinda went down. I liked the singer’s voice and there were some good riffs, specially the more calm ones towards the end.
Score: 4
Player: Kari
Artist: The pains of being pure at heart
Song: Young adult friction
Review: My first impression wasn’t really good but after a couple of listens I found this song quite enjoyable and fun. It has a really good vibe overall and some nice melodies but nothing that really stands out to me.
Score: 4
Player: Wolfking
Artist: Time requiem
Song: Time requiem
Review: Man this sounds a lot like Symphony X. I feel like it has some nice and interesting bits but for the most part it’s just pretty standard prog metal. It’s nice it but it bores me after a couple of listens.
Score: 3
Player: jingle.boy
Artist: Flaming row
Song: Leas Delivery
Review: I liked how the two vocalists worked together but the song itself felt dull as I didn’t really get where they were going at. The keyboards provided a nice atmospheric touch.
Score: 3
Player: Elite
Artist: Beardfish
Song: The platform
Review: This is a quite interesting song. The intro got me hooked immediately and the sudden change of the overall mood was nice and refreshing. I loved the different changes and how the song builds up but I feel like it ends up being too long.
Score: 5
Player: Ravenheart
Artist: Dredg
Song: Cartoon Showroom
Review: What a beautiful song. It’s so peaceful and relaxing with very nice arrangements in the background and a good mood overall. I feel they pay a lot of attention to the details and manage to make the song interesting all the way.
Score: 6
Player: Lonestar
Artist: Beyond the bridge
Song: The difference is human
Review: This song stars and ends really nicely but the middle part lacks some of the energy and feeling. The female voice was quite nice and the keyboard was well used.
Score: 4
Player: Ariich
Artist: Evergrey
Song: Recreation day
Review: Nice metal tune. I liked the powerful hammering and the background keyboard. Nothing that really stands out though.

Final round
This final round will be open and since we all want to give a chance to all the players there will be a wager involved which will work like this. You can bet between 1 and 7 points. If you song gets graded with the similar score or higher you get your wager added to your total. Otherwise you'll just get the normal score. However there will be a catch here to make it a little more interesting and complicated. The amounts of points you bet have to match the number of the song in the album you are sending. What? Yes, let me give you an example. Let's say you wanted to bet 5 points, you could send me Metropolis Pt. 1 since it's the 5th song in I&W. But what if I want to send you LTL you ask? Ohh, well in that case you would need to bet only 1 point since after the 7th song the counter resets. I will answer any questions if you still have doubts.

Elite: You should've sent The Finish Line if you were going to send a Snow Patrol song :)

It's too late for 'should have's, but thanks :P The Finish Line is also a nice song, but if Nekov doesn't like his voice, then any song wouldn't have scored a lot. Ah well, I'm still in second place, so let's see how this will work out.
-
The Grateful Dead is bluegrass, not country, sheesh!!!
And sent!!!
-
Oh, I know exactly what I'm sending. Been waiting to send something from this band all roulette.
-
Thank God I finally sent a winner.
Will send my next song tomorrow, the criteria for the bonus type thing is a little confusing.
-
Final round sent.

The Grateful Dead is bluegrass, not country, sheesh!!!
I said country like :P
-
That's like saying an apple is orange-like. :P
-
Still missing half of the songs
-
That being the non-lonestar half as usual.
-
of course

I have problems of not being at home (holidays). You'll get mine tomorrow evening (within 36 hours).

I'll be sending something tonight :)

Empty promises....

Well, it hasn't been 36 hours yet for me. I'll send something VERY soon now! :)
-
Aand, sent!

Sent via email last night.

I think Gorille might have checked out completely.
-
Nono, he sent something. Probably tomorrow I will have the results up
-
Oh, yes do that please :)
Then I can see the results just before I go on holiday!

Same. Had to think about it, but then I remembered I bet 7 points, and then remembered which track #7 I sent.
Bump for results...

That's not a bump....

THAT'S a bump.
-
:lol
-
I totally forgot to send a number. I haven't had any follow up from Nekov.
Nekov, do you need a number or something from me? Can't even remember the track to say what song number it is. :lol
-
The song you sent me is the number 5 of the album so I just assumed you were waging that amount.
-
Let's do that.
-
It's tomorrow now....

Final Results
Player: Gorille86
Artist: Music for money
Song: La Marche
Wager: 7
Review: Nice combination of piano with electronic beats, they work quite well together. Aside from that the song didn’t have much to offer.
Score: 4
Player: LieLowTheWantedMan
Artist: Thinking Plague
Song: Fountain of all tears
Wager: 7
Review: This was an OK song. It had some nice melodies and the choruses were cool but it was somewhat dull
Score: 4
Player: Lonestar
Artist: Evasive
Song: Restless sleep
Wager: 7
Review: Lots of metal but not at all an interesting song. Quite repetitive and boring
Score: 2
Player: Jingle.boy
Artist: Affector
Song: Harmaggedon
Wager: 7
Review: This was a nice tune but in no way is this better than Flying Colors. The song development was good and I liked the overall vibe of the song but it fell a little flat after a while. It was waaaay too long.
Score: 4
Player: Ariich
Artist: Masterplan
Song: Soulburn
Wager: 5
Review: I enjoyed this song. I don’t think there’s anything that stands out to me but overall it was nice. Not enough for the 5 though.
Score: 4
Player: Wolfking
Artist: Last tribe
Song: Wash your sins away
Wager: 5
Review: I liked the guitar work during some parts of the song but overall it’s a pretty average song.
Score: 4
Player: Ravenheart
Artist: Sarah Fimm
Song: Story of us
Wager: 4
Review: She has a good voice but it almost seems like she’s not even trying. The mix of piano with electronic beats is interesting but I feel like it could be a lot better.
Score: 3
Player: Kari
Artist: Kyte
Song: These tales of our stay
Wager: 7
Review: This was a very enjoyable tune. Soothing and calm yet it remained interesting all the way through. The singer’s voice was a little dull.
Score: 5
Player: Elite
Artist: Seventh Wonder
Song: A day away
Wager: 6
Review: Piano does such a good job in metal. It’s helped by the up lifting tone of the song however the instrumentals in the middle bring the song down. It’s a completely unnecessary display of ability and it kills the nice mood they were constructing
Score: 4
Player: ReaperKK
Artist: Incubus
Song: Idiot Box
Wager: 4
Review: The song had some nice guitar work in some parts, but other than that there’s nothing that appeals to me. The record scratching brings the song down a lot
Score: 2

Thanks everyone for participating. I have quite a few bands I need to check. I hope you had fun and I'm sorry for all the delays.

You're a tough nut dude. Not a single score over 5! Nobody got their wager points. It was fun, but you lost the momentum/uumph in the last couple of rounds.
Congrats on another victory Ruben.
Chef, we suck. No prize for either of us.

Everyone lost the wager! :lol
