I was talking about Evermind's :angel:
I'll claim the tenth spot.
I'll claim the tenth spot.No, you won't.
I can play, but i'm pretty sure I'll mostly sens stuff outside of your comfort zone, judging by your top 50.
Phew, good thing someone volunteered. I was almost ready to sign up at this point.
:(Look at the 4th spot :lol
Well, thinking about that, I'd agree to get in as the eleventh participant just because it would be fun to screw up your well-thought and well-prepared roulette system. :lol
So should our songs be the real openers or can they be in the middle on the album but have that "opener" feel?
:(Look at the 4th spot :lol
It's hard to get what's sarcasm over the internet. Go green.:(Look at the 4th spot :lol
Oh, you thought I didn't know that?
Alright, sent! You're all playing for first place bitches.
It's hard to get what's sarcasm over the internet. Go green.:(Look at the 4th spot :lol
Oh, you thought I didn't know that?
Oh, but I was actually serious. If given the opportunity, I would definitely send two songs a round as two 'different' participants.Hey, that's pretty smart. Double the songs, double the chances of winning (but you'd songblock yourself).
Alright, sent! You're all playing for first place bitches.
:rollin
I figure the people in Haken thread are pretty tired of my posts by now, so I'll write here since all important people are reading this anyway: visited the record store today and they still didn't have Affinity. :facepalm: I'm going to be the only person on board who haven't heard it at this rate.
Sent.
If this doesn't get me points then I really don't know what will. Everything is crossed I don't bomb out again :lol

Well, no way to drop out until round 8 here, so you'll have to fuck up more than once :lol
I'm gonna get cut early from this roulette, despite their being no cutsIs your goal to send music so terrible that host changes the rules in middle of roulette? :lol
Mikemangioy, do you still listen to a lot of straight forward metal? I mean, I've moved towards progressive metal because with a lot of new metal I hear nowadays I feel I've heard it all before. I do still get blown away by some metal bands but it doesn't happen as often as it used to.
Would you say you have gone the same way or can I get away with sending straight forward metal bands you may not have heard?
Is Genesis full banned or partially banned?
I have the same question with regards to Riverside: they are both on the partially banned list and on the list of "songs that I got in the last roulette", yet they aren't on the list of bands that you'd be open to hearing other songs from, so... what gives?
Hey, can I seriously send a band that scored well last time around again? :lol
yeah it'd be cool if you could alphabetize the list :lolRight on it.
One of those is mine. What would you like to hear?
you opened entries just over a day ago and it's the weekend, chill :lol
But I sent harsh noise by harsh noise.
I sent something that randomly popped up in my music library and thought he'd dig it :lol
I sent a song by a band.
where's blurred list where's hangman where's tidbits :neverusethis:
Can't wait for the tities!
where the round 3 results
This song is not too bad, but it's a bit too genre-standard and predictable.
Pity Native Construct is banned.You can thank me for that :tup
I have a feeling that it could benefit a lot with another singer.
What the hell is going on :rollin
Just noticed, either one tidbit is missing or it is done intentionally, 11 players and 10 tidbits, hmm.. :justjen
these are so nondescript that i can't be bothered :lol
What the hell is going on :rollin
Could this be mine?
Heeereee areee some tidbits for ya.
This song is not too bad, but it's a bit too genre-standard and predictable.
This feels very huge, I'm really enjoying the vibe of it.
I'm surprised this isn't all over the radio.
Incredibly stunning. Love everything about this.
This makes me feel like it's 2000 all over again.
I hope mine is one of those positive tidbits but to be honest, I can see someone calling it genre-standard.

Soooooooooooooo, results today?
(bit impatient as this is my first real roulette :biggrin:)

*snip*
First I thought it was ordered from least favorite to favorite and I was like :omg: but 8.5/10 is great! I'll take it.
Well that could have gone better :lol I really wanted to send The Black Mages and that song fit the theme better than most of their songs. I knew it was a bit of a gamble regarding the vocals. Hope it hasn't put you off checking anything else out by them though as they released 3 albums and only about 4 tracks had vocals at all (one female, one all in Japanese, one with minimal vocals and TSA).
Must try harder. Liking the sound of the songs by Xerath and The Ocean. Will check out all the competition before sending round 2.
Sent some stoner metal.Koopa Troopa and the Mighty Scoopa?
Sent.Already rooting for this one and I don't even know what it is :metal
If mike doesn't like it, at least Train of Naught will have my back. :P
Koopa Troopa and the Mighty Scoopa?
kyuss? :lol
I like to send The Black Mages in roulettes when I think the host will dig the style so :tup for that, but you've got some balls sending The Skies Above. :lol That vocalist is definitely an acquired taste, if acquired at all.
:loser:
Okay, Parama's favourite song was denied, so I sent something else.
Rich, was it you who sent Iter Impius? :lol
Rich, was it you who sent Iter Impius? :lol
So.. I'm the only one who sent East of the Wall this time?
Fair enough, I'm not worried, this will probably blow over once the vacation kicks in which shouldn't be too long from now.
I'd change the thread title if I were you though :lol it says R2 results
TIDBITS
When it comes to ballads, this is the style that I like. Really quiet and passionate.
Still haven't got into this one as much as the others.
Beautiufl melanchonic stuff. Really reminds me of Opeth.
I really like the vocals in this one, they make the song, if you ask me.
Good melody, but a bit redundant at the end of the day.
There are some good ideas here, it's taking a while, but I'm growing into it.
This has to be my song :lol
I can't quite put my finger on what's going on here. This sounds like thrash and black metal had a baby who's high on steroids :rollin
Really reminds me of the artist you've mentioned.Probably this one? I don't know if that's positive though because you mentioned only knowing like 10 songs by that artist.
ahh, you sent vektorThis has to be my song :lol

oh wait you said how, not now
Love the sheer energy that this song brings to me.
Still haven't got into this one as much as the others.
Nice and catchy. Not what I'd expected from this band.

Never thought I'd hear you say 'I sent growls' in a roulette :lol
So, beautiful vocals not okay? Next round will be all-growls from me.
not as hard as you'd think.
i mean i didn't send something with all growls but i did send mathcore, so
Hahaha what the hell
Stadler
Marillion - White Russian
This nice groovy piece of music is next. I quite like this song, the vocals especially. There's a sheer aggression to them, I don't know what it is that make them so powerful. UZI'S ON A STREET CORNER is a great repeated line, and the 'where do we go from here' is equally as good. The rest of the track is okay I guess, but if you ask me, the vocals make this one.
7.5/10
nope :tupnot as hard as you'd think.

I know, that's basically a perfect prog song, and in my top 3 PoS songs probably.
Just curious, the themed round 'Unique', is that something you'll elaborate on more when the time comes or is this round just anyone's interpretation of unique music? Need to know this because I have an album/song I consider very unique, and I want to know if it would be a waste to hold on to it, especially because we can't even be sure whether we'll make it to that round.

Along those lines, yeah. You'll have to send me what you think is a unique song.
Act II is better than Act IV though.
BTW yes, you'll get tidbits as usual, and from this round the blurred list. Stay tuned.:metal
I was about to post "nobody sent me tdh" but then I remembered somebody did
and I completely forgot
yup
if I decide to not get a tdh album before my next roulette, maybe? I might look into them a bit who knows. reminder hat my next roulette prob won't be until 2017 :lol
nope sorry :lol
top 10 has a lot of crap nobody cares about/stuff I've sent on a lot of roulettes
Quite a different entry from you, this time around. Love the choral vocals here, it's pretty fun.
Paramaholy spoilers batman :corn
1. Round 3
2. Into the Uncanny
3. Fjara
Quality entertainment. That's all there is to say about this one.
I fucking love songs like these. You probably hit the soft spot for me right there. Insanely reminds me of a band from my country.
I'm 90% sure someone sent that Foxy Shazam song again. I personally hate it but it always seems to do amazing in roulettes and this one is probably no exception :corn
Not sure why this song existsPretty much my reaction every time I hear Dying in A-Minor by Angelic Process
But WHERE IS THE BLURRY PIC MAN
Mr Spaghetti has told me results should be in a few hours :P
But WHERE IS THE BLURRY PIC MANTbh, I thought the blurred list were the rankings I put after the tidbits. I haven't been following roulettes a lot lately so I'm wrong, I think.
Good, I'm not even on the list of participants now.You're eliminated already :P
Actually I sent something that I'm tempted to lump into Zantera / Sacul music category, but I can't do that since I actually like the song and the album.Fucking savage.
Placing Anciients and Agalloch in the same category because "they both use growls" is prpbably the biggest generalization ever :lol theyre nothing alike.
You probably sent trip-hop or something electronic or something? Idk
Sent the best song of the roulette so far :neverusethis:
Strange mishmash of influences, and while I usually like songs like this one, this time there's something that I don't like, but I can't tell what. Still, a good song.
This piece of music is chaotic as fuck. This particular band bores me after a while, but this song grabs my attention more than others do.
Nice ballad, although I've heard far better as far as ballads go. Maybe with more listens I'll get into it.I'd say this is my song. Or the one with bass.
Very different from what I'm used to hear from this band. Intriguing.Any of these.
I like the low-key and gloomy atmosphere. The vocals are spot on.
It's almost scary how Tyrias and me have gotten the EXACT same score in every single round so far :lolWe can do that for the whole roulette if you want to, as long as you send a song 0.5 songs below me for the last round :xbones.
sent a Whiplash-movie-like orchestral jazz tune. Sacul knows this one.Is it the one you sent in my first roulette? :P

Just missing out on Elite and Stadler has yet to send his mp3..
yeah, at this rate you're gonna barrel way past two months, mike :/
Is there going to be a length limit for the epic round? I have two awesome songs but they're both well over 30 minutes. I need to know this because I could send these bands in earlier rounds if I already know that they won't be allowed in the epic round.
Such a fun track. And relaxing too.. and to think this band toured with much heavier artists. Love it!This could be CHON, I think?
Amazing use of acoustic instruments. Really enjoyable.Thinking this is mine but not sure
This is quite an experience, even though it's only 4 minutes of music.
Given what you said, I think this could work better in the context of the album.

A bit repetitive, but it works in the context of the track. It gets obsessive at one point.
Unexpectedly groovy, but a bit boring song, so far.
you could maybe send 'substitute' songs along with them or something.
you could maybe send 'substitute' songs along with them or something.
That's what I did. I'm not really all that confident I'll get back in the first spot with the 3 songs I sent, but I did promise to send mikemangjoy stuff outside of his comfort zone, and I try not to go back on promises. I'm curiously awaiting results.
and it's just a groovy keyboard track with a beat.I think this doesn't describe my song at all - what about the great drumming or the heavy guitars towards the end? There's barely keyboards there too afaik. Sure you listened to the correct track? :P
I probably asked this before but I forgot: With themed rounds, do you partially rate the songs on how fitting they are to the themes or is it like you check if it fits the theme and then you rate the song on its own.
Asking this because I have a lot of songs with dark subject matters that aren't all that dark instrumentally but I think they're very good songs nonetheless.
So wait. What? "Dark" doesn't mean "lyrically dark"?
Your wedding? :P
There's more stuff that's illegal in Italy though
(Elite has to resend because Celestial Violence was already sent a couple of rounds ago.)10/10 GOTY
David Gilmour - Faces Of Stone
Good old David Gilmour. Unfortunately I never checked out his solo career, but it sounds like it's quite the stuff. This song is quite unique from what I know about him: it has circus-like brass sections! It kind of blew my mind. It's beautiful to hear those Pink Floyd soundscape in modern production. There's one part that really reminds me of Hey You, and David sounds like Roger here, acting-wise. I have no idea what the song is about, but it does sound like it comes from a concept album. A strange mix of new sounds and nostalgia.
these aren't round 7 results :lol
no clue what to send tbh, may send something I'm not even that familiar with yet because it fits???
downward spiral.
imo i think Mike would hate them :lolno clue what to send tbh, may send something I'm not even that familiar with yet because it fits???
Just don't send Amadeus Awad.
Sent some noir, which according to Sacul isn't really noir, so there.When I think of noir, I think of this (https://youtu.be/xY1wBUrdRFg), Ulver's Perdition City (particularly Hallways of Always), and the Twin Peaks soundtrack.
I thought about something from The Fragile or With Teeth, but they're banned :sadpanda:downward spiral.I actually thought about sending something from this album.
imo i think Mike would hate them :lolno clue what to send tbh, may send something I'm not even that familiar with yet because it fits???
Just don't send Amadeus Awad.
Sent dark music with female vocals.
My song isn't really dark, it's just kinda depressing and really heart-wrenching. I hope that that works for Mike.
feeling like I won't be happy no matter whatThat's pretty deep bro
Everything feels like black pitch in this song. Probably the 'darkest' of this round, theme-wise.[/i]If this isn't about mine, I wonder how dark is that song :D
This song has a trippy vibe that makes me obsessively bop my head. Does that mean it works?
Beautiful atmospheres, but the vocals kind of ruin it for me. Haunting lyrics, though.
Haunting atmospheres, love the sound production in this. The choice of this particular album cover is really well done, it captures the vibe
really well.

stop having inconsistently bad taste mike :loser:I like where this is going actually, the best song of the round got a 9 and the 2nd best song got 8.5, pretty accurate if you ask me :neverusethis:
Wow, and I thought we were approaching results here in a day or two. :lol
Wow, and I thought we were approaching results here in a day or two. :lol
yeah tbh you should just make this the final round, mike. it's pretty clear you don't have the time to run a roulette rn :lolI'd be fine with that if it's needed to be honest. The roulette has been fun but it's obviously not the best time for our host, could also postpone it and put it on a hiatus if that's possible.
Fuck you Scorp and your Vinushka. :lol
And damn, we're going with unique? I wanted an epic round, had a very dark and heavy epic ready for that.
But hey, at least I'm still in which is honestly more than I was anticipating.
Glad you are eager to give Cynic some more listens.
I've finally taken the plunge and added myself to the waiting list so you will be more than welcome to join my roulette when it finally happens.
Goddamnit Parama I wanted to send Slice The Cake for the unique round :tdwnalmost sent them for the dark round and regretting not doing that now
I hope you get banned from DTF for introducing the word 'hangmanen' to the worldGoddamnit Parama I wanted to send Slice The Cake for the unique round :tdwnalmost sent them for the dark round and regretting not doing that now
Also, is there a time limit?
Okay, sent an 18-minutes long epic tune.
Okay, sent an 18-minutes long epic tune.
Fuck yeah Elysium. :metal :metal
So that means everyone has sent! Good luck guys, you're gonna need it because I sent the best metal epic ever :metal
It's a shame I didn't win with a write-up like that, but I'm glad anyway you loved that track so much. The entire album is amazing and I've made a habit out of listening to it when it snows for the first time in a winter. It's absoultely perfect for that mood, somewhere between calm, euphoric, cold and slightly depressing. I love how that album makes me feel such conflicting emotions at the same time.
Congrats to Evermind, though. I'll go check out that track, since you loved it so much, just out of interest.
