Title: Twosuitsluke's First Ever Roulette v. Final results are in....
Post by: twosuitsluke on October 12, 2016, 04:02:09 PM
Come one, come all (within reason) here it is, my first roulette.

Don't get too excited as it can all go very wrong from here on out.

I formally invite you to join for fine conversation, half assed write ups and the possibility of gaining a win. Yay!

Sooooooooo, as this is my first roulette, and I only realised today that I was next in line, I will do my best to keep this thing running smoothly. I am going to try to sort out all themed rounds, bonus points and the general flow of the roulette but apologies if anything changes slightly as we go (after all....it's just entertainment folks).

My plan is to have 10 participants (if I can draw a crowd that is) but could be a little flexible. I am also thinking of doing 10 rounds.

My Tastes

A little (apologies if it becomes a lot) about my tastes. So I started off listening to Hip Hop at about 16 and listened to that for at least a few years until I heard Metallica and Green Day roughly around the same time. I got into all the popular punk bands at the time (Blink 182, Sum41, Less Than Jake) but also became obsessed with Metallica. I developed my taste in punk rock (in particular ska punk) but also moved onto all the great  metal bands (thanks to my older brother) like Megadeth, Slayer, Sepultura, Pantera. I had a love for thrash. I then started getting into the popular metal bands at the time (this was around 2004/5) like Trivium, Lamb of God, Avenged Sevenfold etc. I did a load of travelling and by about 2012 I'd kind of stopped discovering new music. Somehow, in 2014, I rekindled my love for Dream Theater (I'b been a fan since about '06) and found this site. The rest is history and I have discovered a whole host of new bands and fallen in love with progressive metal more than ever I suppose.

How that effects this roulette is to be seen. I love Progressive Metal but that's not all I'm looking for. I still have a love for punk (I kinda go through phases, as we all do).

In regards to genres of metal, I have kind of got bored of straight forward metal as it all feels too similar but you can always try yur luck, I am a sucker for a good guitar solo.

I like a bit of Death Metal and prefer the classic bands like Death, Obituary etc.

I prefer Symphonic Black Metal bands like Dimmu Borgir when it comes to Black Metal.

I like me some Doom/Stoner Metal.

I like some Power Metal but can be quite picky, most of the Power Metal I listen is stuff I got into years ago, the last Power Metal band I got into was Angra and they are the first in about 8 years so this may be a bit of a gamble.

I like some folky kind of music but most of the folk I listen to is stuff which is folk with a punk rock attitude, like Frank Turner and Larry and his Flask.

I'm not particularly a fan of electronic music but there are a few exceptions, such as Nine Inch Nails, Prodigy, I used to listen to a bit of Pendulum.

I love orchestral music and especially orchestral renditions of video game music (such as Nobuo Uematsu's Distant Worlds).

I find with music that my ear is generally drawn to the sound of the electric guitar predominantly, I love it. Drums are a close second and as such, I find that music is the most crucial part for me. Lyrics and vocals are not generally what I focus on and I often don't even know the full lyrics to lots of my favourite metal songs. Again there are exceptions. I love bands such as The Dear Hunter mainly for the vocals and lyrics, which is easier as there aren't so many guitar/drum parts that my ear focuses on. Punk rock is another genre where lyrics are more important. I really enjoy singing along to my favourite songs and really belt them out whenever I can. Music really lifts my spirit and that is why I love it so much. There is no better feeling than singing your heart out to your favourite song (maybe air guitar is second, yes I'm a loser). This is why I have added the sing-a-long round, I want to hear some songs with great vocal lines, melodies, choruses.

This thread I started a few months back might help with my tastes as well:

Prepare to have the songs you love dissected and rated in ways you can only begin to hate  :|

But seriously, good to have you on board Scorp.

I will admit early on that my write ups won't be anywhere near as detailed as Parama's in his roulette. That shit looks tiring  :lol

I'll look into it. :tup So the red bands, are they mostly banned because they're popular bands and you don't feel like getting bands whose name you've already seen around too much? Or do you actually know and like their music? There's no need for me to base a submission on something that's on your banned list if you do not like said band, that's why I'm asking

So all the bands are the banned list are bands I know, like and own at least one of their albums. I mainly highlighted the popular DTF bands because the banned list is quite long and I thought it would just make it easier for you guys to spot if a band you wanted to send was banned or not.

I'll take it. If there is one thing I have learnt from frequenting DTF it is that, even with the bands I share in common with people, the songs I love are rarely the ones that are considered their best.

No genres of metal are off limit either. Nothing is too heavy or too weird. I've heard some pretty weird shit over the years.

I will say that I'm generally not a fan of really depressing music. I don't mind it but I'm not one of these guys who can listen to depressing stuff all day.

I also don't really want you guys to play it too safe. I mean it's up to you of course but I respect risk takers.

Ok, all you guys are in and more than welcome. That's the full 10 now. If anyone else is desperate to join then I might consider it. Otherwise, we are good to go.

You can all start sending your submissions now  :corn

You may have to bear with me on this first round as I need to figure out the easiest way for me to listen to everything. I normally play all my music through my iPod, which won't really work for this. I will use Youtube mainly I think but I also have Spotify on my phone which I can use to listen when I'm away from a computer. However, as I only have the free Spotify it's not perfect. Either way, I'll work it out.

I'll start listening once I have all the songs in.

Come at me!!

Think of it as a song that is almost a bombastic statement about who you are  :lol

Or think of it this way, if you starred in an action movie this song would be your soundtrack. That sort of thing, you don't have to over think it. Something that personifies you in song form, just humour me  :corn

@Elite, you can join if you want dude  :biggrin: one more song per round won't hurt.

If anyone else does want to join though I may do a preliminary round with eliminations.

I don't think there's anything important missing, it's not thaaat long btw  ;) I am wondering, what's your opinion on post rock?

As you can see from my banned list there are some post rock/metal bands that I listen to. I must admit I've not listened to a post rock/metal band yet that I have become obsessed with. I mean I don't mind it but I don't listen to a whole lot. Sometimes I think I like the idea of it more than the actual music.

You should definitely take a gamble though as you might find the first band that really wins me over to post rock.

I will say that I have no problem with atmospheric music but it's got to have something that grabs me. If it borders on becoming background music then I usually lose interest and it doesn't do a whole lot for me.

Post by: home on October 13, 2016, 04:59:42 AM
Thanks! You'll definitely get some post-rock then, the first round however, I'm going to send an amazing band that's somehow missing on your banned list  :omg:

Post by: twosuitsluke on October 13, 2016, 05:03:23 AM
Sweet, there's probably quite a few. Fill my gap  :lol

Also, to add to the post rock/metal thing. I'm interested in bands like Alcest at the moment (apologies if I've spoiled someone's surprise as I'm kinda expecting to get this band during the roulette) but have only heard a few songs.

Thanks for the invite! Do you by chance maintain a last.fm profile or something like that so we might narrow down choices more? Will send first round ASAP.

No, I don't use last.fm I'm afraid. I might just delete all the punk rock bands from the banned list and if anyone sends anything I already know I can just request they send another song.

Oops, project was more intense than I had anticipated, not a single minute to spare. Will send when I get home.

Nevermind, that band fits the second round theme perfectly. Sent some post rock  :hat

Sure as fuck hope this is not the same band I was planning in a later round. :lol I'll probs send some post-hardcore cuz why not, you seem to have a lack of that in your catalogue.

Ok, no worries. I will hope to start listening to the first round by Sunday then  :corn

I only have one submission so far anyway.

I'll wait until I have all the songs before listening as I really don't want to listen anything more than anything else.

Tidbits/First impressions will probably be Sunday evening (UK time) if I have all the songs by them.

Also, cheers for beard appreciation, I need to let it grow longer again. It was like nipple length earlier this year  :lol

There are 2 Train-approved songs on there, one of which I've sent in a roulette before. But I think you're talking about the one I sent yeah because it sounds more like something you'd like.

Followed you back  :tup

Yep, anything with strings will be ok. Have you heard Mob Mentality by Earthside, that is a good example. Something that has an epic kind of movie soundtrack vibe. Also, listen to one of the Distant World albums by Nobuo Uematsu, that is also the sort of thing I love. The Dear Hunter, on Acts IV & V, also have orchestral music as part of their sound.

As a last example, there are bands that have recorded live with an orchestra, that also works.

Ok, I'm only waiting on Parama, Scorpion, Tomislav95 and Elite.

No real rush as I've barely seen my girlfriend this week, because of work, and we both have today and tomorrow off work.

I'm tempted to have one listen to the songs I already have (I'm eager to get going with this) and jot down some first impressions. I have a few hours to kill later so I might give in and go for it.

If you guys could try to get your submissions in by Sunday that would be great  :tup

Ok, so I caved and gave one listen to each of the 9 songs I have received so far. I won't listen any further until I have all the submissions in. I'll do tidbits then as well.

It's a mixed bag for sure. There are two songs that definitely stood out but songs usually take a while to grow on me anyway  :biggrin:

All good stuff though.

leprous played a crapton of the congregation and i would've liked a bit more from other albums but they were still fun
earthside was fun too, their keyboardist is a hell of a jokester apparently
they had this screen that mostly served to play the guest vocalists performing because obviously they can't have them all there for the concert so pre-recorded videos it is

Earthside sounds different, how did that work in a live setting? Having the screen with the vocalists? Did it all sync up without a hitch?

Tasty morsels for you to devour, enjoy.



Has a perfect, dirty feel to the sound which I love.

Has some really cool melodic guitar leads but nothing I haven’t heard before unfortunately.

Nice anthemic chorus, actually gave me goosebumps.

Great build up with an unexpected climax, especially the fact it included an instrument I wasn’t expecting.

Music that is right up my alley but not a particularly structured song, I felt, more a showcase of talent.

I feel it took too long to build and I was initially losing interest but my god was the climax worth it!

Some really groovy bass, this song got me tapping my feet. Lots of cool parts that I felt were held together well in the structure of the song.

Some of the best vocals this round and an overall great energy to the song.

Not too big a fan of the vocals but the guitar sound was great. Kind of standard sounding song for this genre I feel.

Potentially had the best guitar solo of the round but I felt it ended a bit early.

Probably my favourite vocals so far, loved the whole feel of this from the off.

Had some great heavy guitars towards the beginning but I felt it didn’t go where I hoped it would.

The vocals don't feel particularly great nor bad to me but that could be different for others so I'm more confident that it is one of the tidbits that does not mention vocals.

At this point I don't think anyone should really worry. It was a pretty solid first round. There were about 3 songs that stood out and 2 or 3 that sounded kinda generic. However, this is all based on one listen. I hope to be able to do 5 listens as a minimum but would prefer more if possible  :corn

No 10/10's at this point and the lowest score will probably be a 6 or something. I definitely didn't dislike any of the songs.

I believe I see Dredg. Elite?

The only other ones I can see were in the playlist I peeked at, so that would be cheating.

You do indeed, but it wasn't Elite.

i think part of it is that your banned list is big enough that there aren't many big name artists left to send so nobody knows the artists that were sent  :lol

at the very least i know that's the case for my song since i've never sent this artist before

Fair point, although there are still plenty of large gaps in my banned list. I might condense it and get rid of some the stuff I can't see anyone sending anyway.

I'd be surprised if anyone has heard of your band dude. According to Spotify they have 2 followers and the Youtube video only had 39 views   :rollin

2 out of 39 is about what i expect to get scorewise, as well
but if not, know that you can download the album for free on their bandcamp or something

Great build up with an unexpected climax, especially the fact it included an instrument I wasn’t expecting.

Hoping it's this one  ::)

Also, I've completed about 4 of the write ups. I won't get to finish them until tomorrow though and I want to squeeze in a few more listens to get accurate scores.

Some songs have grown on me but my first impressions were surprisingly on point.

So this is fun. It may all take a nose dive after a few more rounds but I am enjoying it at this point.

Results tomorrow for sure though  :hat

Round One Results..........................INCOMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Shadow Ninja: In The Silence - Ever Closer

So this song starts with some great, heavy galloping guitars that I honestly think is the best part of the song. I didn't find anything that I particularly disliked about this song but also nothing that I really love. I mean it is all solid and enjoyable, I liked the vocals, liked the mellow parts, preferred the heavier parts. I find that I am struggling to really find much to say about it. I think it is just similar to other bands I listen to and doesn't do a great deal for me. As I said, it had some great heavy guitars towards the beginning but I felt it didn't go where I hoped it would, and this ultimately let it down a bit for me.

5.5/10


Splent: Chimp Spanner - Cloud City

This is another djent song that sounds great but doesn't do a whole lot for me. I guess I am quite picky with this style of music. I can't even say myself what I like, with this style, to be honest. It has some really cool melodic guitar leads but nothing I haven't heard before unfortunately. There are some nice bass sounds and all the pieces are there. If it was the first song I had ever heard in this style then I'm sure I would love it more but as it is, it's just pleasant but nothing more really.

5.5/10


Elite: In Mourning - The Smoke

So this song started really strongly with some Gojira style riffing which I liked. The harsh vocals are ok but not really my preferred style of growls, it didn't particularly take away from the song though. Musically it is definitely something that I was drawn to and the shift to the mellow section worked well. The clean vocal delivery wasn't bad but didn't do a whole lot for me. The song really picks up though at 5:05 and this part was my favourite of the song as it built towards the instrumental section. Overall it had some great heavy guitars towards the beginning but I felt it didn't go where I hoped it would.

6.5/10


WebRaider: Moon Tooth - Silver Gallows

This song is a really cool djent style song. I'm not a big fan of the vocals but the guitar sound was great. Kind of a standard sounding song for this genre I feel. I love the guitar, it is the main focus for me in this song. The guitar solo is good but something in the song is just lacking for me. The vocals don't do a great deal for me. There are a couple of times where this song has a Baroness feel, especially at 2:16. I enjoyed it but it didn't really leave me wanting more if I'm honest. Just a solid song overall.

6.5/10


Parama: El Drugstore - Enthusiastic Corruption of the Public Good

This song was really good and I loved the sound of the bass in particular. It has music that is right up my alley but I don't feel it's a particularly structured song, more a showcase of talent. It certainly made me want to listen to the album. It has heavy riffs, and is an all around great instrumental, maybe in the context of the album it will really shine but on it's own it is not something I would listen to over and over. I like the way that it speeds up and slows down in places.

6.5/10


Tomislav95: Dredg - Lechium

Tomi mentioned about the weirdness of this video when he sent this and it is strange. I assume it's supposed to be like this. It adds a weird atmosphere to the song but I don't mind. I like the feel of this song. I'm not sure when this was released but it totally reminds me of Incubus, especially the vocals, and I can assume it was from the early 2000's. I like the vocals and although this isn't necessarily the sort of music I generally listen to, I like it. I don't have a great deal to actually say about the song and it's individual parts. I kinda like it all.

7/10


Sacul: Kyuss - Asteroid

I have always meant to check out Kyuss. When I first got into Queens of the Stone Age I read about Kyuss but along the way never got around to it. I was eager to listen to this. I already had a preconception that this would be desert rock/metal and harness a certain sound. As it is, it has a perfect, dirty feel to the sound which I love. You look at the album cover and this is the sort of music you expect. I was waiting for vocals the whole way through this song but I don't think it's really lacking without. I liked this song a lot but felt it as a total cock tease of a song. For instance at the 2:00 mark it all goes quite and I was bracing for crushing guitars but it kept me hanging on. It seriously has a great feel to it, I love the sound of the bass. This song made me want to check out the album more than any other song in this round but unfortunately as a stand alone song I felt it a bit lacking. I love how it speeds up at the end, but I want to hear what comes next!! In the context of the album I'm sure this works better but on it's own, less so, at least for me.

7/10


Stadler: Angels and Airwaves - Secret Crowds

This one was hard to score for me. As a huge Blink 182 fan I have become a bit pissed off with Tom Delonge and how he has acted over the past. I have tried to listen to Angels and Airwaves a few times over the years but nothing ever really stuck. When they were promoting their first album Tom was comparing themselves, as a band, to U2. This instantly turned me off as I really don't like U2 so I never even listened to them back then. So anyway, to the song. I have always been a fan of Tom Delonge's voice, he's got a very unique sound but I could also see why people may not like it. From the get go I was kind of biased towards this and was conscious to not hold my feelings for Tom against the song. It has a really nice anthemic chorus that actually gave me goosebumps on first listen. It also has a few musical flashes where this sounds like it could be a Boxcar Racer (one of Tom's other bands) song, which I loved as I love the Boxcar Racer album. Nothing about the song itself is particularly groundbreaking but I like it a lot as it is. It's nice to hear something new (to me at least) with Tom's voice that I really like. The lyrics aren't exactly great but it works for me. I mean, part of me just wants to like this and if it was anyone else performing this song maybe it would score way lower. Anyway, I enjoyed it and will need to get a few albums I guess.

7.5/10

Train of Naught:  Eidola - The Comfort We Find in Our Vices

So I didn't find much that particularly stuck out to me the first time I listened to this song. This was probably the one that grew on me the most. It has a great energy to it and I like the vocal approach. It has interesting guitar leads that don't distract me too much from the vocal delivery. It has a good mix of what I look for in this type of music and reminds me of some of my favourite bands, I really like the noodley guitars that bring to mind something like The Fall of Troy. It has some great moments, especially at 3:11. It's hard to put your finger on what makes those musical moment so great but that is one, for me. It has a kind of power that comes from a vocal that goes from weak to strong whilst the music mirrors it. Also love the album art.

7.5/10


Home: *shels - The Conference of the Birds

This was one of the songs that stood out on first listen (it was actually the first song of the roulette I listened to).  I liked it a lot on first listen but it also grew on me. I think it has a great atmosphere to it and builds really well. It kinda reminds me of Agalloch at times, although with less black metal elements obviously. It has minimal vocals in it but I find it works, I didn't miss the vocals when they weren't there and welcomed them when they were. When it comes in with the heavy section at the 4:30 minute mark it is just perfect for me, it then kinda mellows again but you just know it is building to another climax. It totally delivers, as you have an unexpected use of trumpet which adds an almost wild west feel to it. I love stuff like that, completely out of left field but works so well. This is accompanied by another heavy section with the trumpet still blaring away. You have some growls at the end but they are purposefully in the background and don't overpower the end. I don't know if this band use trumpet in all their songs or if this is just a one off but I will sure as hell be finding out.

8.5/10


Scar: And So I Watch You From Afar - Don't Waste Time Doing Things You Hate

So I think that it is safe to say that this song was probably the biggest surprise of the round. I had heard a song called 'Run Home' by ASIWYFA thanks to the 'Discover Weekly' Spotify playlist (I swear it's the greatest thing ever) which I remember liking. This song however, is nothing like it, in the best possible way. It's this crazy 7 minute instrumental (apart from some chanting vocals at the end). I must admit that I love it and this is exactly the sort of thing I love at the moment. It's quirky, it has unexpected twists and turns, it defies genres and it has a surprising array of musical instruments (including cow bell!!). It has some really groovy bass, this song had me tapping my feet. Lots of cool parts that I felt were held together well within the structure of the song. So it starts just guitars, bass and drums in a fairly minimalist way, then you get this great heavy section with some weird siren kinda noises in the background before going back to the stripped back band. There is a really cool echo effect on the guitars, which sounds beautiful, at this point. The song then starts to build with more melodic guitar and reaches it's climax at 3:30. The full band come in and it just sounds large, would love to hear it live. We then have the cow bell, which just works so well to my ears. I can't help but move to the song at this point, it's really infectious! This song never seems to out stay its welcome and I enjoy it all the way through, every time. I have also realised that they are currently touring the US with RX Bandits (who I love), so for any of you guys who live in the states, check them out if they are playing near you.

9/10


Scorpion: Diablo Swing Orchestra - Justice for Saint Mary

This song, wow! So on first listen I enjoyed the instrumentation and the vocals but couldn't help thinking "I would really prefer this if it was an accompanying a full band." As it went on I continued to enjoy it but felt that if this was all it had to offer then I wouldn't be expecting it to grow on me. At about 5:10 it teases that it may go in a slightly heavier, darker direction, but doesn't (I was initially quite disappointed). But then at 5:46 it DOES get darker and heavier. Oh boy, it sounded perfect. It was just what I wanted from the song and all I was hoping for. Then it goes all dubstep and has a kind of Prodigy vibe which, although isn't necessarily the sort of music I listen to a great deal with, worked well in my book. I felt that it took to long to build and I was initially losing interest but my god was the climax worth it! I have no idea if this is how they sound all the time or something a bit different for them. Either way, I can't wait to hear more.

9/10

So this round, as I mentioned before, was a fairly mixed bag. There were some really cool sounding songs in this round that I felt may have felt better in the context of the album they came from. The upshot for me is that I now wish to listen to the full albums to see how the songs do fit. The downside for the guys who sent said songs is that it effected your scores as the songs themselves didn't quite work for me on their own.


Send for round two guys!

Good to see that the AIWYFA song is different than Run Home, I got that one on my discover weekly as well and couldn't stand it. Might give that band a second chance with this song then.

Classic Train of Naught song gets 5.5 wtf :corn considered sending a song from the new In Mourning album glad I didn't :corn

Kind of expected a higher score after seeing that I was ranked 4th but that's life I guess, I'm glad you are not too generous with scores, I know I felt like I've been too generous especially in my first roulette but I can work with this.

Want to send for round 2, the band is not on the banned list but I remember recommending songs of theirs to you, not sure if you listened yet. Can I just send you what I was planning and you reply to me whether it's allowed?

Honestly, check out this song by ASIWYFA. Scar nailed it, at least for me, it's really cool.

I didn't want to be too generous as a 10/10 should literally rank as one of the best songs I have EVER heard!! I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't even give out a 10/10 during the entire roulette, it has to be something truly spectacular. I mean I loved the two songs that got a 9/10, I mean REALLY loved, but if I had given them 10/10 and then an even better song had been sent later it would cheapen the better song.

If the band isn't on the banned list then I haven't listened to them properly. Send what you were planning and if by some chance I missed it off the list I'll let you know  :biggrin:

I have a good idea of what the other band is, but if that's the case I prefer to save them for the epic round which is impossible because no way I'll be consistent enough to end up top 4 by the time the elimination happens. :( Someone will probably beat me to sending this band though so it wouldn't even matter.

On a different note, can we combine songs that are supposed to be played together á la Naif / Linear Faillure / My Favorite Society Guy, SDOIT, Concealing Fate etc. ?

I don't think, but I could be wrong, that I have mentioned interest in this band anywhere on DTF. They are fairly popular in general and similar to other bands that get a lot of discussion on here but I rarely see any talk on this band..........  :justjen cryptic.

Are we talking combining songs for the epic round or just in general? I have no problem with either actually, as long as it stays under the 12 minute limit in the regular round. I will say that if you could find a youtube version that combines all the songs together and send me a link to that it would be preferable.

Yea, it's a hard thing for me to define. My main focus is generally on guitar and drums but I still like vocals in my music. There are songs where I focus on the vocal more than the music but they are in the minority, except for punk and stuff as there isn't as much intricacy to the music. It's like my brain takes in the sound of the vocal and how that effects the overall sound of the music and how I feel about it, but it doesn't necessarily process the lyrics and what is actually being sung. That probably doesn't make much sense but there you have it. That is especially true of metal with growls when it's a struggle to make out lyrics anyway, the rest of the time my brain filters out certain lines, choruses etc.

Ok, I'd just like to hear them flow naturally and if they are separate tracks in a Youtube playlist then that won't happen. Just want to hear it in full effect.

We still might be thinking of the same band. They do get some discussion but it's pretty quiet on that front at the moment, unless I'm missing mention in other threads, which is possible.

So round 2....

A song that gets you pumped (as in something that just lifts your spirits immediately and makes you want to party)

I love music that has energy and lifts my spirits. I have lots of songs that are just perfect party songs that get everyone moving and having a good time. They don't always need to be 'party songs' in that they are specifically about partying or whatever but something that I can sing/headbang/air guitar/dance to is what I am looking for.

I have had lots of songs over the years that I would stick on when getting ready to go out and party with friends. This is the essence of what I want. Something that gets me in the mood to have a good time.

I know some of you have already sent and I should have maybe posted this on the end of the results but I'm still learning my way around a roulette.

Looking forward to this  :metal :metal :metal :metal

Lets do it!!!!!!!

Edit: This is actually a good example of what I am thinking.

I actually didn't plan to send the band I did at first. I just play the song so much it suddenly popped up in my head, but I think I have songs that fit the theme way better. Still, no ragrets.

Actually wanted to send Zebrahead for this round first but found out that they were banned. I didn't think anyone else on DTF would know fucking Zebrahead. :lol

FUCK YES ZEBRAHEAD!!! Was it going to be Anthem??? As that is just fucking grade A perfect for this round. That was THE song for me and my buddy Little D for years!!

For those who don't know it:

Zebrahead - Anthem

Haha no it was actually going to be Falling Apart, that was one of my edgy teen anthems and I still love the song. Was not nearly as much into their punk side but this was a great alternative metal song IMO and had a great chorus.

Two people have actually sent the same band in this round. I normally wouldn't allow it but this is a band I want to hear so I'll let it slide this time.

It's also looking like a fairly short round listening wise, we have two songs under 3 minutes.

However, I have sent a song nontheless.

I used to be into rap but I barely listen nowadays. Maybe a bit of Cypress Hill, Ice Cube or NWA but that's about it.

There is plenty of stuff that fits this theme. Anything off Addicted! By Devin Townsend, I can think of songs by Thank You, Scientist, it just has to have energy to it all the way through basically. I'm sure you must have something  :lol

So I've given one listen each to the 9 songs I have so far. Another mixed bag and so far I'd say this round may be slightly weaker than the last.

There are two songs that REALLY stood out over the rest.

I'll post some first impression tidbits as soon as I have heard the final three songs.

I'm just waiting on Splent, Elite and Stadler.

Time to reSplentlessly hit you with First Impression Tidbits



I really love the strings in this, the song would be fine without them but it is a welcome addition.

I'm really not sure what you were thinking with this? It's a strange submission on many levels  :lol

Not what I was expecting from you at all but I really love it  :tup

Really solid song with a great groove to it.

Straight up rock n roll. Fits the theme really well.

Really love the bass in this song, there's a point where it literally sounds like a swarm of bees!!

This has a kind of scuzzy feel to it that I like. Reminds me a bit of Barn Burner.

This is perfect party music, it's hard not to move to this.

I like this a lot but it feels too short.

This is what I hoped/expected this to sound like. It's all over the place and I LOVE it.

This is very poppy and radio friendly, not sure how I feel about this yet.

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door OST is an album name though, not the name of the artist.

I just sent a "djent" song in home's roulette, yet it sounds nothing like Tesseract or other bands with that kind of sound. I'm generally not big on the scene, and when I like a more or less djenty song it's usually thinking outside the box.

Yea, I don't really consider myself a fan of djent on the whole. I don't see the fuss over Tesseract either for that matter. I listen to them every now and then but they have never really blown me away.

I must admit that I prefer David Maxim Micic's take on djent more than the other big names. I suppose I find standard djent a bit one dimensional.

I don't understand how the classification of djent works to be honest, I never even saw it as a genre. I always thought Periphery was widely disliked because of the over-the-top pop elements mixed with (supposedly) out of place core vocals. Sure, the first album was predominantly djenty, but it is not that big of a factor on any of the later albums.

I guess I have a different definition of 'standard djent' though, because when I think of that, names like Animals As Leaders and Anup Sastry come to mind, and those sound very one dimensional and boring to me the same way other bands do for you.

I'll admit I'm a little unclear about what is and isn't classed as djent. I always kinda saw Periphery as the poster boys for it though. I think of Animals as Leaders as well to be honest.

Regardless of if they are djent or not, that doesn't really matter, they just don't do a whole lot for me. I still might get their latest album though as I know you've really been loving it.

And Parama, I'm not sure if you are being serious or not? 'carligura's hrorsre' *said in a Kim Jong Il voice in Team America* are really not considered djent though right? I like CH a lot.

Post by: Elite on October 26, 2016, 02:25:03 AM
You do know that Meshuggah are usually hailed as the 'inventors' of djent, having the guitar sound all those other bands try to emulate. Obviously, it has evolved to a more chugga-chuggah like sound. 'Icarus Lives!' by Periphery is always the guitar sound I think of with djent and while it sounds similar to for instance 'Rational Gaze' by Meshuggah, the rhythmic properties of both riffs are nothing alike.

Meshuggah was the inspiration, Periphery the first 'band' to encorporate that sound into a newer style.

Oh yea, I'm totally aware that Meshuggah are cited as the inspiration for the whole djent thing.

But it was incorporating that sound and essentially forming a genre out of it. Messugah aren't djent though, in my opinion, they just inspired it.

Well yeah I love P3 but if you're indifferent about, say, P2, I wouldn't count on it. The songs are very similar stylistically and structurally, I just feel they were more consistent on this new one.

Here we go guys, sorry for the slight delay, rating these songs was harder than I thought  :lol




Scar: Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door OST - Rawk Hawk Battle

So this was the weirdest submission of the round. Scar, I'm not sure what you were thinking. This is a really short (2:05) retro style video game, boss battle soundtrack. I mean, I have never played the game so I have no nostalgic connection to the game. Saying that though if I had played  the game I wouldn't have accepted it. It is way too short, doesn't have time to go anywhere and just doesn't have much about it other than being standard video game music. I appreciate you taking a risk, I love video game music, but this doesn't do it for me at all I'm afraid.

4/10


Shadow Ninja: Imagine Dragons - It's Time

So this song is really poppy and very radio friendly. I'm not necessarily against that but I'm not sure this sort of song is really for me. I mean it has 245 Million views on Youtube so they are obviously well known but I've literally never heard of them (should I have?). This feels to me like it is pop that is purposefully trying to be a hit single, whereas the fun. song Parama sent felt like it was pop that was just doing it's own thing but was still pop. That might not make a whole lot of sense but it does to me. I like the kind of oriental sounding strings but other than that it really isn't my cup of tea. I will say that it did grow on me and I have found myself singing it a few times over the last few days, but it still wasn't enough to really increase the score. 

5.5/10


Splent: Kansas - Song For America

Splent is at a slight disadvantage with his song as I only heard it for the first time today. I hope it doesn't affect his score too much though. My only experience of Kansas is the song 'Carry On Wayward Son' thanks to one of the Guitar Hero games. It was a cool song with a classic rock vibe but I never had the urge to listen to anymore. This song is definitely more prog rock and I like that. It  has plenty of instrumental sections but at 10 minutes it doesn't ever get boring. It's hard to write too much when it's all still so new to me.

6/10


Train of Naught: Karnivool - Set Fire to the Hive

I was really looking forward to this band and although they didn't disappoint I'd be lying if I didn't say I was hoping I'd love these songs more. I really love the sound of the bass in this song especially. It's fitting with the song title as, like I said in the tidbits, it literally sounds like a swarm of bees at times. The chorus is really cool but I think I just prefer Roquefort slightly more. I'm sure I will be picking up some of their albums soon but there has definitely been other stuff that has been sent in this roulette so far that I will check out first. It's really solid dude.

6.5/10


WebRaider: Torche - Kicking

Here we have another straight up rock song. They have a bit of a Foo Fighters feel to me at times. Unfortunately I think what lets this song down for me is that it is too short. I like a short song but I think for a short song to work for me it has to be a lot more upbeat than this and say everything it has to say in it's short time. I don't feel this song does that, I feel like it has unfinished business. It's got a really catchy chorus and I enjoy it a lot. Not sure how representative this is of their sound but I'm interested to check out more at some point.

6.5/10


Tomislav95: Red Fang - Prehistoric Dog

This is a straight forward, balls to the wall, scuzzy kinda song. I do like stuff like this and Red Fang do sound like other bands I love. They are like a combo of Baroness, Wolfmother, Barn Burner and Orange Goblin, which is cool. It fits the theme well but is kind of one dimensional. I definitely enjoy it and will check out more by this band in the future.

7/10


Stadler: Panic Channel - Teahouse of the Spirits

On first listen I wasn't massively impressed, although I did kind of like it. It grew on me a lot though. It's a straight up rock n' roll song but it does it really well. It's got a catchy chorus and I could see it going down well in most rock clubs. It's like Velvet Revolver or something like that (but with Dave Navarro instead of Slash). This is definitely not the sort of music I seek out nowadays but it works well for me. I definitely like it, not sure yet if I like it enough to check out a full album.

7.5/10


Elite: Agent Fresco - Howls

I don't really know what I was expecting with this band, as have seen them mentioned a few times, but it was a pleasant surprise. There are times where the vocal delivery reminds me of the guy from Haken, which is cool. It's punchy and fits the theme well. I really like the inclusion of the strings on this song and it certainly  increases my enjoyment of it. I think this song could also have fitted well into round 4 as I've found myself singing along more than once.

7.5/10


Scorpion: Caravan Palace - Dragons

So, as I mentioned to Scorp when he sent this, I have actually seen Caravan Palace live. My girlfriend loves them and dragged me to see them at Boomtown festival last year. I didn't even really know what electro swing was but I danced my ass of. This is great party music and great in a huge live crowd. My girlfriend never really listens to this stuff much at home so I don't really know any of their songs. I find it impossible not to move to this and I love it. This isn't necessarily the sort of music that I would play at home, or pay for, but the next party I have this is on the playlist. The drums in particular sound great and if I'm honest, after having a few drinks tonight, I would love to be back in a huge crowd listening to this. This is a hard one to rank because although I know this isn't the sort of music I would listen to a lot, rating the song on it's own merits alone, it's hard to give it anything but a good score.   

8/10


Home: Karnivool - Roquefort (With Empire Horns)

So another song by Karnivool. This song is groovy as hell and I really love it. The drums and bass sound huge on this and it just hits me. You went with something else which features trumpets, which seems to work out well for you. It's got a great chorus and I like the vocals. It is the groove that sells it to me. I can't really explain any further why I like this, the addition of the trumpets is certainly part of it. I thought it was going to have a really cool guitar solo but it didn't go anywhere.  Yep, groove is all.

8/10


Sacul: Destrage - Are You Kidding Me? No

I've been aware of Destrage for a while and just haven't gotten around to checking out any of their music. This is pretty much exactly what I hoped for with this band. They sound bat shit crazy and they are also clearly very talented to keep all this mayhem cohesive (the drumming is incredible). This reminds me of BTBAM in the way that it is heavy as fuck and goes off in different directions at the drop of a hat. I will say I prefer the vocals in this over BTBAM though, they are kind of screamy but I like them. I love the bit at around 1:35 where you have the vocals "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I'm sorry" then we have a little guitar lick, silence, then the drums kick in hard. The solo is fucking killer and I love that thay have a little mariachi section. I will be getting this album very soon. Good work dude.

9/10


Parama: fun. - Take Your Time (Coming Home)

This was the nicest surprise of the round. This song is massively poppy but I love it. For future reference this is how I like my pop. At times it reminds me of like Van Morrison or something, mainly the vocals, which is great as I grew up listening to Van the Man. I know you have a reputation for the whole Paramacore thing so this was a surprise from you dude, but a welcome one. It has great sing-a-long parts (which would have been perfect for round 4 by the way) and also the whole package works for me. I love the organ, the guitar, the drums, the energy. I don't know if this band are a popular band in the states but I would be surprised if they weren't, they sound great. Love the jam at the end with the guitar solo. At times I thought it might be too long but listening to it now, I don't want it to end. Just right on the money for me, keep 'em coming. Tough call for song of the round and they are so different. A tie obviously.

9/10


Scores

12. Shadow Ninja - 5.5+5.5=                  11
11. Splent - 5.5+6=                                 11.5
9. Scar - 9+4=                                         13
9. WebRaider - 6.5+6.5=                         13
6. Elite - 6.5+7.5=                                   14
6. Tomislav95 - 7+7=                               14
6. Train of Naught - 7.5+6.5=                  14
5. Stadler - 7.5+7.5=                               15
4. Parama - 6.5+9=                                  15.5
3. Sacul - 7+9=                                        16
2. Home - 8.5+8=                                    16.5
1. Scorpion - 9+8=                                   17


This was a hard round to score as I mentioned. I again tried not to score too high as I didn't want to cheapen scores of songs further down the line that could be potentially better.



So the next round is an open round so go for your lives.

Send whenever you are ready  :corn

7 is ok. Could've been better but. They have better songs but Prehistoric Dog kinda matched this round best for me.
How do you like hardcore punk/old metalcore? I don't usually listen to anything like it so I don't know if any of the band from banned list are labeled as such. I think I found something for one of the latter rounds.
EDIT: I know I asked something similar before but just to clarify: for orchestral round, how prominent strings need to be?

Set Fire to the Hive is literally one of the worst songs on Sound Awake, so that score isn't surprising, really. I was hoping you'd like Howls a bit more though. And damn, I should have sent AYKM?N apparently. I have done so before, but that band wasn't one of my contenders this round.

7 is ok. Could've been better but. They have better songs but Prehistoric Dog kinda matched this round best for me.
How do you like hardcore punk/old metalcore? I don't usually listen to anything like it so I don't know if any of the band from banned list are labeled as such. I think I found something for one of the latter rounds.
EDIT: I know I asked something similar before but just to clarify: for orchestral round, how prominent strings need to be?

They don't need to be the main focus but they need to be more prominent than they are in the Agent Fresco song in this round, for instance.

Edit: Sorry Tomi, I realised I didn't answer your question about hard punk/old metalcore. Yes, I do like both. I don't seek out that sort of music much nowadays but it should be a pretty safe bet.

Meh, I was debating sending Roquefort too :lol it fits better to the theme in any case but Set Fire is my personal favorite

Anyway, sending a band I should have sent, I have no idea why I didn't send it for the party round

Gonna have to listen to that Paper Mario song :metal

Yea, you were unfortunate there dude. I have plenty of faith in you though  :tup

fun has had #1 hit in the states (for like 6 weeks in 2012) but it was off their second album which kinda sucks as a whole  :lol

also I have something even more singalong flavored for round four so no worries there  :corn

I'll get their first album then I guess. Hyped for the singalong round. Maybe I should make a game where I link sound clips of me singing (badly) to the round 4 submissions for you all to try and guess. Not sure how that would work but I might give it a go, if all your eardrums can take my epic range  :lol

Set Fire to the Hive is literally one of the worst songs on Sound Awake, so that score isn't surprising, really. I was hoping you'd like Howls a bit more though. And damn, I should have sent AYKM?N apparently. I have done so before, but that band wasn't one of my contenders this round.

Well if Set Fire to the Hive is the worst song on the album I will definitely like it. I did like Howls a lot but I just couldn't really rate it any higher. I can imagine AYKM?N is a bit of a wild card and a risk, it paid off for Sacul this time.

I think I am realising in this roulette that I am drawn to the more out there/genre splicing songs. Playing it safe could lead to average scores, it's hard to tell though. My tastes are weird and sometimes songs that tick all the right boxes do nothing for me and songs I wouldn't have thought I would like really work  :huh: :huh: :huh:

I didn't even know the theme for round two but it still works :lol

I'll send tomorrow. Sorry for taking so long. My wife is out of state so it's been crazy this week.

It worked for the round regardless  :tup

Don't worry about sending late. It did possibly effect your score a little but I'm just glad you managed to send as I didn't want to have too score you a 0/10. I know life gets in the way so no worries.

:metal

 :metal indeed!

Definitely getting this album this week I think.

Edit: 4/12 subs so far. Cheers for being quick off the draw boys  :tup

Set Fire to the Hive is just a very polarizing song among Karnivool fans. Personally cannot say that I am a huge fan of the band overall though.

Any idea how I could do it? I'll have to research the best way to record, edit and upload them. I'm not sure what the best way to do it would be?? I'll work it out.

I've given a listen to the first 4 songs and so far we 3/4 with really cool sounding songs, the round is looking promising so far  :tup

I can imagine that it is, yes. And I don't find SFTTH to be a bad song at all, but every 'proper' track (all apart from When the Medicine Wears Off) on Sound Awake is just better and more interesting. And there's tracks like Deadman, Umbra and New Day that are just miles ahead. I don't know how you can think SFTTH is better than those masterpieces. But yeah, I'm a fan of the band indeed.

Hey, what's the "EP Round" mean?

Sorry, that's me assuming everyone knew what I meant. A few of the guys doing recent roulettes have ended with an EP round. Basically you have to create your own EP, I'll probably limit to 40 minutes or something. You can use as many bands as you wish and use multiple songs by the same artist. The idea is to create an EP that flows well, it can have a specific theme if you wish and it will be rated not only on the quality of the songs but the flow and how the songs compliment each other.

I don't know who originally came up with the idea but it's a great way to end a roulette I feel. By the last round there will only be 4 of you left so I won't be swamped with too much music. I've never lasted long enough to compete in one but it's a cool idea.

425 came up with the idea originally but i was the one who went and made it about the EP as a whole as much as the individual songs, i think, i don't think anybody else did that first at the very least

i'll prob send after work today i don'r have anything lined up for the open rounds yet so

Ok, maybe identical is a bit of an exaggeration but listen to this at 2:15 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1wYVtz35Cw) and this at 2:00 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfI8o_hzaDk) then tell me they don't sound similar. It's probably kinda to do with the fact that the music is similar too.

Really, they don't. Karevik's voice is deeper to the point it's distinctive enough for me, and Kakko's Finnish accent is pretty glaring at times (not in the chorus of Full Moon though).

Round 3 results......




Elite: Obsidian Kingdom - Away/Absent

I feel after all the listens given to all the songs in this round this song seems to have left almost no impact. Granted, this song had some real tough competition this time around. It sounds like something I should like but it does almost nothing for me. I suppose part of that may be due to the vocals being low enough in the mix and kind of distant, that I can't really make them out. That could be it. I like the bass in this song a lot as it is nice and audible. Writing this, I'm worried that the fact this song follows Frost* in my Round 3 playlist may effect it. After loving the hell out of that song it makes this feel anticlimactic. I'll definitely try to check out a few more songs by these guys, maybe this song just isn't for me.

5.5/10


Stadler: Mother Love Bone - Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns

Yea, this song has a kinda classic rock/grunge vibe, I've never really been a fan of grunge. This song doesn't exactly turn me off but it also doesn't tickle my musical funny bone. It's all solid stuff, it has  quite nice vocals and is all quite nice and melodic. I love the little break with the minimalist guitar solo before 'Kick it'! I know I have heard quite a lot of stuff like this before and it does all feel very dated to me. It's probably too long for me as well, it doesn't hold my interest throughout.

5.5/10


Scar: Breaking Benjamin - Breath

A friend of mine actually played a me a few songs by this band recently. I'll admit I'd never heard them previously but always had a preconception that they were generic radio rock/metal. I tried not to let preconceptions effect my overall score. It has a solid chorus and all the instruments tick the boxes. It is the sort of thing that I am happy to listen to if someone plays it for me but I have no real desire to seek anything else out by this band. I guess there are bands similar to this in my library but ultimately, they fill my quota for this kind of music.

6/10


Scorpion: Alcest - Oiseaux de Proie

I'm not gonna lie, this was another band that I was looking forward to someone sending. I like the almost tribal sounding drums at the start. This is another song (like Elite's) where the vocals are kinda low in the mix and they feel quite distant. It does fit the atmosphere I guess. This is sort of what I was expecting from Alcest. It's not made me any more or less eager to listen to them though. I'll still end up getting round to them at some point. It may be the sort of song that would be great when listened to along with the rest of the album. On it's own, it's good but not really anything more than that.

7/10


Shadow Ninja: Mew - Am I Wry? No

I like the atmosphere this song creates and liked it from the off. The drums and guitar work well in the intro. The vocals gave off an emo vibe to me when I first listened but this isn't a problem for me. I could imagine the vocals polarizing people to be honest but I quite like them. The repetitive snare towards the beginning works well for me. Love the instrumental bit at 2:15 where the strings come in, it has a nice change of pace and it all sounds beautiful. I find music like this very interesting but I have never been a huge fan of any bands that sound like this really. I like the piano in the outro as well. Feel it could have gone on a little longer without becoming dull. I guess the vocals are the focus for me when I listen to this.

7.5/10


Sacul: Bent Knee - Being Human

I've seen this band mentioned quite a bit on DTF but still didn't know what to expect. This is different to what I did expect though. I like the female vocals, which are often a gamble for me as I don't listen to much with a lead female vocal, at times she sounds a bit like Bjork, which is cool. I like how it goes from a simple vocal over something which sounds like something off the Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack (something from the Midgar slums when you meet Aeris) to a heavier more upbeat sound, then back again. It mixes a few different styles really well and transitions between the mellow to the upbeat effortlessly. I like the instrumental section that starts to build, with the drums at 2:30ish to the vocal "I imagine your dead body". This is definitely not the sort of music I would seek out for myself. I will give the album a go and see how it sits with me.

7.5/10


Parama: Progenie Terrestre Pura - Sinapsi Divelte

You described this as Bladerunner metal if I remember correctly? I can see where you are coming from. The album cover probably helps set that vibe as well. I certainly like the sci fi feel this song oozes. I'm definitely wanting to check out the album just to see if it is all in this style or this is partly setting a feel during the course of the album. The first few minutes go by but it never feels like it is dragging. It starts to get a little heavier and some vocals are there, kind of in the background. Although not a lot happens in this song that really sticks out it all moves along and progresses well, it never really feels like an 11 minute song. That being said, it probably could be a bit shorter without effecting the song too much. I like it at the 8 minute mark where it all kind of gets stripped back and you hear the guitar a bit clearer for a short time, it all gets a bit more black metal after this. It's an overall good atmosphere but not the sort of song I would get the urge to listen to on it's own. Intriguing overall though.

7.5/10


Home: La Dispute - King Park

One word for this....intense. I'll admit on first listen I wasn't taking in the lyrics at all. If I'd scored on one listen you may have got a 5/10. I was quite turned off by the vocals, they kinda grated on me. They use that style where they are kind of spoken/shouted. The music isn't really the centrepiece of this song at all but it's far from bad. It's all about the story being told. Once I paid attention to the lyrics the emotion and intensity of the song started to sink in and I started to get it. I had already read a little about the story behind the song before Home sent me a link to an article about it. It speaks to the side of me which is angry about the fucked up state of the world that we live in. I'm lucky enough not to live in a part of the world where stuff like this happens often, it's fucked how so many innocent lives are lost in cases like this. The end of the song is the high point and is REALLY intense. I won't spoil the story or the experience for anyone who wants to listen to this. Listening to the last 45 seconds is kind of heartbreaking, it's raw and (again) intense. I also LOVE how it ends abruptly, it works perfectly in the context of the story. I'm still not 100% where I stand on this yet, even after all these listens. Ask me in 6 months how I feel about this one. So scoring this?? Difficult to say the least. This is a great example of music being used to take you on a journey and tell a story. It's hard to judge it on music alone as it's so much more than that. Screw it, I'm going to give an 8/10, I can't bring myself to score this any lower. 

8/10


Train: Russkaja - Energia

Ok, so this is right up my street. It's a weird kind of polka ska punk which is like a hybrid of Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, Rammstein (when the vocals are in Russian they sound similar to German, hope that's not too offensive to any of you guys who are German or Russian) and Jaya the Cat. The energia is great, it is really upbeat and is just lots of fun. This is perfect live music for me, I would jump about like an idiot to this. I have never heard ska punk with Russian musical influences so this is a first. It's basically a twist on music I already love so you chose well here Train. It's one of those songs that makes me want to move but is not something I will necessarily listen to for years to come. It has a great use of horns, heavy guitar parts, native vocals and English vocals, skanking guitars and (the aforementioned) traditional Russian influences. FUN.

8/10


WebRaider: Black Crown Initiate - Belie the Machine

Now this is how I like my progressive death metal! The intro is awesome and has this great melodic guitar line, then the groovy bass comes in and it all works well whilst being mellow, then the heavy guitars and drums kick in. It has a very distinct Gojira feel to me. The growly vocals work really well for me and are just how I like them. The double bass drums in this song are a real highlight, along with the drumming in general actually. The clean vocals actually also fit really well (over more Gojira influenced guitar work). At 9:00 minutes this is another song that doesn't out stay it's welcome. At 4:55 there is a little instrumental breakdown with more groovy bass which then starts to build towards the heaviest part of the song. When I think of progressive death metal, I think of Opeth. Opeth are superior to this for me, basically due to the vocals being more to my liking and they are more melodic/less traditional death metal. This is more like Gojira and I actually prefer this to a lot of Gojira songs, as I said, this is a perfect example of how this style of music should be done in my opinion. It even has a great little guitar solo at the end of the song. Everything about it just works really well has great contrast between crushing and groovy.

8.5/10


Tomislav95: Seventh Wonder - Hide and Seek

So, Seventh Wonder are a prog metal band but to me they mainly sound like power metal (with some prog influences). No bad thing as I love a bit of power metal, especially with prog elements. I'd said earlier in this thread that I thought that this band sounded like Sonata Arctica. I don't care what anyone says, that's who they remind me of. This song has such a strong chorus and I am belting it out whilst writing this. It's nice to listen to some good metal with great synths/keyboards as I haven't been particularly taken by any bands with strong keyboards (in this style) for quite a while. I read up about this album and the concept that surrounds it, I am certainly intrigued and will be listening soon. This is easily my favourite song of yours so far Tomi. It's a really well structured song and at 8 minutes it doesn't bore me at any point. The vocals are definitely a huge selling point and I hope the rest of the album stands up to this standard. It just has everything that I love about music in this style, it takes me back to when I first discovered power metal. Also, the end is really cool. I will admit that I was originally going to score this about a 7.5-8 but the last couple of listens I fell in love even more. Music like this can definitely be a risk as it can easily fall into the category of 'generic power metal' for me. It paid off this time, awesome stuff.

9/10


Splent: Frost* - Dear Dead Days

This was easily the best song of the round (and the roulette so far). It starts with an 8-bit, video game sounding sample. I did check to see if this was accidentally an 8-bit cover of the song (I've heard it done with Haken songs). Then the guitars and drums kick in and we are all good.  There is also some great lead synths which just sound incredible to my ears. It reminds me of some video game style music, or something like The Black Mages. There is then a little vocal part which fits well but changes to this kind of robotic sounding voice, which fits the music. We are then back to the 8-bit sample with some great instrumentation alongside it. Everything about this rocks for me and sounds really fresh. Can't say I can name anything that sounds the same as this. It is all very progressive and mixes different styles beautifully. I suppose at a few points this does almost remind me of Haken actually but it also sounds nothing like them, great description :) . The vocals grew on me a lot, there are few styles of vocal and it's all great to sing to but this is a perfect example of where the music mainly grabs my ear. There are some heavy parts right until it all stops  and is stripped back to just the piano, this builds to the awesome climax of the song at 5:48. This is pure joy, everything just sounds like eargasm to me here (another poor description, I know), it's the climax that makes this song for me. It is just a glorious song, just listen to it if you haven't heard it before. We have our first 9.5, well done dude.

9.5/10







Scores


12. Shadow Ninja - 5.5+5.5+7.5=        18.5
11. Scar - 9+4+6=                                19
10. Elite - 6.5+7.5+5.5=                       19.5
9.  Stadler - 7.5+7.5+5.5=                   20.5
8.  Splent - 5.5+6+9.5=                       21
7.  WebRaider - 6.5+6.5+8.5=             21.5
6.  Train of Naught - 7.5+6.5+8=         22
4.  Parama - 6.5+9+7.5=                     23
4.  Tomislav95 - 7+7+9=                     23
3.  Sacul - 7+9+7.5=                          23.5
2.  Scorpion - 9+8+7=                        24
1.  Home - 8.5+8+8=                          24.5




OK, so it's getting interesting now. The scores are all really close and can still go anywhere from here.

The next round is the sing-along round. I want you to send those perfect songs to sing your heart out to. It doesn't all have to be based around a great chorus, I love a great bridge. It's not all about the lyrics, it's about the melody, intensity, passion, vocal, lyrical content combined.

I'll post some examples of songs that showcase what I'm looking for soon.

I also may attempt a game where I post clips of me singing (vocal only) the songs I receive, for you to guess. It can only go amazingly well or terrible, there is no middle ground here.

Right, I'm off to do vocal warm ups.........

Your song was honestly the hardest to score. Like I said, could've easily gone the other way and gotten a low score. There are parts of the song that just don't do it for me at all but I couldn't possibly give it a lower score than 8/10. Not sure I will like them as a band but as a stand alone song, it's great.

Train: Russkaja - Energia
(when the vocals are in Russian they sound similar to German, hope that's not too offensive to any of you guys who are German or Russian)
The vocals are actually German at times though :lol for example at the start. The band name is a little misleading as the band is actually from Austria, though two members are Russian (I believe the lead guitarist and vocalist). Damn, why is this round so consistent, haven't really gained any ground in the standings with that 8

I have a great band in mind for the sing-along round, but I just need to decide on the most suitable song for you to sing along to, to make it as awkward as possible

Also agreed on the last comment on the Russkaja song, I don't think I'll ever go crazy about their catalogue, I only frequent a couple of their songs, but I'm seeing them next week with a great group of people and I'm pretty fucking excited :metal

Yea, I'm not gonna lie, I did zero research on these guys and just assumed they were singing in Russian due to the band name and the video. Typical British ignorance  :lol

It was a tough round although you are only 2.5 points off the top spot. It's all to play for  :tup

Yep, I usually make a spreadsheet in Excel with bunch of bands (and songs) before roulette start to make it less chaotic.
I liked Mercy Falls when I first heard it but I truly fell in love with it this year, that's why it's not on my Top 50 albums list even though it wasn't too far behind #50. If I did a list now it would definitely be there.
Also, I'm sending you the link to file right now, my song is not on Spotify.

Alas, the band is on the "Banned List". 

Not a problem of course, the rules are the rules.  My problem is that I can't get that first song out of my head long enough to find a replacement! I'm going to have to go through my CDs and try to come up with an alternate.

Right, I've given every song one listen. This round is sounding weaker than the last. I think a few of you felt unsure of what to send in this themed round.

One song stands out as nailing the theme after the first listens. There are some really cool songs though, regardless of theme. I'm not sure how to score though?? I will either score normally and add a bonus point, if it fits the theme for me, or give a score that combines how much I like the song and how well it fits the theme. Difficult.

I might put up the first few links tonight, for you all to guess. Get your insults at the ready  :lol

Right, I've given every song one listen. This round is sounding weaker than the last. I think a few of you felt unsure of what to send in this themed round.

#3 is KISS - Shout It Out Loud. Come on guys :P
I knew this :lol I thought it would have been guessed already

Nothing More = home

The only way anyone is going to guess mine is if they payed attention in the plug.dj session where I literally said that it was the song I had sent to luke for this round, no one but me on this board listens to this band I think.

I'm going to try and complete write ups today. I spent so much time on the 'vocal clip' game that I'm lagging in this round. I don't think I even have a clear winner in my head for this round, it's all pretty close.

I don't know whether to score just on song alone or score higher for songs that fit the theme best. Possibly the latter  :justjen

Post by: Crow on November 15, 2016, 01:33:53 AM
i kinda hate when theme intrudes on score because score is just supposed to be a measure of song quality and nothing else but also apparently some people didn't send something to fit the theme anyways so it's a bit unfair to give them a free pass so i really dunno

I don't really care how you score things, since it's your roulette, as long as you are clear and fair about it.

Post by: twosuitsluke on November 15, 2016, 02:10:06 AM
Yea I know what you mean Parama. It should be based on the song alone but as it's a themed round that should have some influence on the score in my book. I mean, someone could send an epic song with barely any vocals which could be a 9/10 but not fit the round at all. That wouldn't seem right.

At the same time I maybe wasn't clear about how the scoring of this round would work, plus Elite didn't even know it was a themed round  :lol

I think this is an instance where I will learn from this for my next roulette. Maybe do a bonus point system for sending themed songs, like some of you guys have done before?

Buuuuuuut, if I'd done that I wouldn't have been able to force my terrible singing on you in my mid round game. I needed all the songs on this round to be sing along.

I dunno, it's a minefield  :facepalm:

Cheers dude, yea maybe I wasn't clear before hand so it would seem unfair to score according to how well it fits the theme.

Grade on the theme!  Not because I think I have a better shot, but what's the point of having a theme - playing the game - if you're not going to have it factor in?   Otherwise, every roulette is just me sending Kiss songs, and so-and-so sending Anathema songs, and so-and-so sending Devin Townsend songs...

Let's get creative!

I've completed over half the write ups and they're not too half assed.

I've been so busy with work (and getting distracted with Plug.DJ sessions) that this round has taken longer than I anticipated.

I'll try to get the results up by this evening  :corn

Apologies in advance for how long this took to get these results in. Work has been crazy the last few weeks but it should be calming down now.
I think some of you were a bit unsure of what to send in this round. Some songs fit my idea of the round, some not so much. I admit I wasn’t that clear about what I was looking for and I now know that what ‘sing-along’ means to one is completely different from another. This was a fairly solid round but without the highs of previous rounds.


Splent: Triumph – Magic Power
Here we have a total classic rock song. It’s pretty cheesy and not particularly credible. This is another example of a song I would probably love if I’d grown up with it. It does fit the theme and I can imagine people really enjoying belting this out. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work so well for me. I like the sentiment of the song but I’ve heard this point put across, lyrically, a lot better so many more times. It’s not bad at all but it’s not the sort of thing I am looking for and I can’t see myself wanting to listen to it in the future.

5 (+0.5 for theme)

5.5/10



Scar: Elton John - Writing

I've never been a fan of Elton John but this is ok, it's got guitars that remind me of the Allman Brothers Band, which is nice. It fits the theme and has some nice bits to sing to. I don't think I'll listen to it in the future but it's nice enough. It was a bit of a risky choice, at least to me it was. I’m already completely aware of EJ so I think if I was destined to become a fan I would’ve by now.

5 (+0.5 for theme)

5.5/10



Stadler: KISS – Shout it Out Loud
I’ve never been a fan of KISS, their sort of music has never appealed to me and I think Gene Simmons is a knob. This pretty much sounded as I expected it to. I’m sure if I’d grown up with this or if they had been my first exposure to ‘rock’ music I would feel differently. It’s ok and I can sing along to it I suppose. It’s just very ‘of its time’ and that era doesn’t do a great deal for me. The chorus is the focus and I’m sure it went down great in a big crowd.

5 (+0.5 for theme)

5.5/10



Elite: Groove Therapist – Mr. Funker
Elite, you didn’t actually realise this was a themed round when you sent this, but it kinda works. This song is quite strange. It’s from a concept album about a weird Jack the Ripper type right? (that is based completely on the album cover, some lyrical content and nothing else). It feels like it would fit in some broadway theatre performance where the character of Mr. Funker is introduced. But it has some groovy bass and virtuoso guitar in places. The chorus is ok and you can sing along to it. It has this off putting bit before it where the character is laughing and the guitar is echoing it. It’s a bit of a turn off for me and spoils the song a bit. I’m intrigued to hear the album and although I like some parts of it I don’t like it much on the whole.

6.5 (+0.5 for theme)

7/10



Tomislav95: Ensiferum - Into Battle

I've been into a few bands like this over the years (Turisas, Korpiklaani etc) but never listened to Ensiferum. This has that cool battle metal feel. The sing along element is the chorus here and it works. There isn't much to sing to for the rest of the song, which is true of other songs in this round to be fair. I certainly dig the song and it will fit a certain mood for me. The guitar solo is pretty sweet. They remind me of early Children of Bodom with the vocals at times. I had a lot of fun doing the 'vocal clip' for this song. I haven’t listened to much music in this style for quite a few years so it’s good to rock some out. It’s pretty standard for this genre so it’s solid. The chorus feels like a battle chant (as it should) so I know it would be fun to see live.

7 (+0.25 for theme)

7.25/10



WebRaider: Corelia - Glass Faces

So no one guessed this song from my performance . Don't know if anyone else actually knows the band? The name looked kind of familiar. I like this and found myself singing the chorus quite a bit actually, which is obviously a good sign. It's the highlight if the song for me and really saves the song and lifts it above mediocrity. The rest of the song is ok and has a djenty feel to it. It's very enjoyable and on the upper tier of solid. I might have a further listen to something else by this band, time will tell.

7 (+0.75 for theme)

7.75/10



Sacul: Anathema – Universal
Not the sort of song that I was expecting from this round (although I know I didn’t really make clear what I wanted). This is very soothing and relaxing. I’ve checked out some Anathema before and, although I liked what I heard, it didn’t really hit my sweet spot. This is the sort of music that I definitely have to be in the mood for. It’s got a nice atmosphere to it and I of course like the use of the strings. I do like the guys voice, it washes over you in a really nice way. There is a nice guitar solo half way through followed by some piano which changes the pace of the song a bit. It has a nice build herewith the inclusion of a heavier drum sound and more strings. This is my favourite part of the song (and it doesn’t feature any vocals). This is a really nice song and although it does have some nice lyrical passages it doesn’t really make me want to sing along to it all that much.

7.5 (+0.25 for theme)

7.75/10



Home: Nothing More – Mr. MTV

I love the intro of this song. This song has a kind of pop metal kind of vibe to me but the chorus nails the theme. I'm sure I read about this band in a magazine last year and thought they would sound like Linkin Park or something. It does kinda sound like that as this would be a great anthem to play at a festival. It's entertaining and would be the sort of thing I'd stick on at a party as casual metal fans would like it. I'll check out the album at some point but I assume this is pretty much their sound, I could be wrong though. This is in the right direction of what I was looking for as the chorus is great fun to sing.

7 (+0.75 for theme)

7.75/10



Shadow Ninja: CHVRCHES - Leave A Trace

I wasn't expecting to love this as much as I do. Pop is weird for me, I can enjoy listening to it but because it's everywhere I never choose to listen to it. I also don't listen to a great amount of music with female vocals. That's not out of a conscious decision, my ears just like what they like. But this is great and it has a great, catchy chorus (perfect for the round). I can’t see myself listening to the album anytime soon but I could see myself getting my diva on and belting this out every now and again. The lyrical content of the song is close to me as well and it’s quite an empowering song. I can see why this would be popular. It’s pop music with some credibility and I like that.

7 (+0.75 for theme)

7.75/10



Train of Naught: Moron Police - Go Home, Bitch!

This song is a lot of fun and I'd definitely stick this on at a party. It falls down a little bit in the sing along department. Love the shredding guitars a lot though. The vocals are sometimes hard to concentrate on, except for the chorus of course. This is short but sweet and certainly makes me want to listen to the album. It blends a few styles in its short run time but works so well. Actually, listening to it now I'd find it hard to score it anything but highly. It is fun to sing to so it works theme wise. It’s kind of a hard one to score as it has lots that I like but it is over too quickly. Guess I just need to listen to the album.

7.5 (+0.75 for theme)

8.25/10



Scorpion: Nevermore – Born
Theme aside, this was maybe my favourite song of the round. It’s got some great riffs and I love both of the vocal styles in this song. It’s got those operatic style highs and also the more gritty vocals. I really love the chorus and couldn’t help but do fist grabs whilst singing along. This really reminds me of something and I’ll be damned if I can put my finger on it (some melo-death band probably). Musically it has a great mix of heavier style death metal and classic metal. This is definitely right up my alley. I know I checked out this band before (possibly Dead Heart in a Dead World), about 6-7 years ago, but this left more of an impression than anything else I’d heard previously. This wasn’t the sort of song I had in mind for this round but it actually fits better than some other songs.  Yea, the chorus is great to sing in an over the top manner.

8 (+0.75 for theme)

8.75/10



Parama: Brand New - Not The Sun

I like this a lot. This left the best first impression and I really felt it nailed the theme for me better than any other song in the round. I find it hard to put in to words what I look for when singing along to music. The bridge in this song is probably the best example in the round to be honest. It's fun to sing and it's emotional. I also like something that I can sing all the way through without it becoming boring. I've been aware of these guys for years but never listened to them, why I don’t know. I'll probably pick this album up soon. It's got a great feel to it and I like the singer’s voice a lot. It’s fairly short but it does everything I need it to in the song. Really good stuff dude, cheers.

8 (+1 for theme)

9/10




Scores

12. Scar - 9+4+6+5.5=                            24.5
11.  Stadler - 7.5+7.5+5.5+5.5=               26
10. Shadow Ninja - 5.5+5.5+7.5+7.75=    26.25
8. Elite - 6.5+7.5+5.5+7=                         26.5
8.  Splent - 5.5+6+9.5+5.5=                     26.5
7.  WebRaider - 6.5+6.5+8.5+7.75=          29.25
5.  Train of Naught - 7.5+6.5+8+8.25=      30.25
5.  Tomislav95 - 7+7+9+7.25=                  30.25
4.  Sacul - 7+9+7.5+7.75=                        31.25
3.  Parama - 6.5+9+7.5+9=                       32
2.  Home - 8.5+8+8+7.75=                       32.25
1.  Scorpion - 9+8+7+8.75=                      32.75

So the next round is a straight up open round. I should hopefully be able to pick up the pace with this one. I’ll probably just do a straight up hangman/results kinda thing.

#10 is Orphaned Land, dunno the song title.

I'm also puzzled about this Deep Purple song. I assume it's either from late 90s or 2000s, since I'm pretty sure it's not from Now What?! and also not from anything before The Battle Rages On.

#11 is Mr. Bungle - Ars Moriendi, sent by Elite.

Sorry for the wait guys, here we goooooooooooooooooooooooooo……………






Splent: Samuel Barber – Adagio for Strings

Turns out I do recognize this song, or at least parts of it. I’m sure it’s been on numerous adverts here in the UK (and probably in a few films too). I know I have stated that I like classical pieces but if I’m honest, most of the music I listen to like this is usually orchestrated versions of video game music. I’m not sure if I prefer that because of the nostalgic and emotional link to the original source material. There’s something about hearing my favourite video game music played in an epic and more organic way that I really dig. That being said, I’ve even gotten into orchestrated versions of video game music that I’d never even previously heard, so there is no connection there. Anyway, that doesn’t really make my feelings for this song any clearer. I mean, I like it. It’s by no means bad but I just find it a little too somber for my tastes. I’d prefer a little more rise and fall. It goes on a little long and just doesn’t really have epic, goosebump type moments for me.

5/10


Elite: Mr. Bungle – Ars Moriendi

A friend of mine lent me a Mr. Bungle album (not this one) years ago and I never really got into it. I knew to expect some weird shit that might feel like a bunch of ideas thrown together, which is kind of what this is. It mixes some national folk music (I’m guessing) from some country with the odd heavy guitars/drums and also some electronic samples. I feel it’s almost like it’s being weird for the sake of being weird, which I don’t see the point of. There are brief parts I like but for the most part it just feels chucked together for the sake of it and to make something completely unlike anything else. Maybe I just don’t ‘get’ it, I dunno. I love the splicing of genres but this really doesn’t work for me. None of the ideas feel like they are given enough time to develop.

5.5/10


Tomislav95: The Gathering – Broken Glass

I wasn’t sure what to expect from The Gathering after hearing that this was the band that Anneke Van Giersbergen started out in. This song has a serious trip-hop vibe to it, which I certainly wasn’t expecting. The only real trip-hop I really like is Portishead to be honest. This has a nice feel to it but I prefer the style of vocal from Anneke that I have heard with Devin Townsend or something. I know that style wouldn’t necessarily work with a song like this but it’s all I’ve really know of her. This song was ok but nothing more for me I’m afraid.  In a certain chilled mood I’d listen to this but I don’t feel the urge to listen to this sort of thing often. I’d play it if I was relaxing with my girlfriend as she’d probably like this more than me.

6/10


Stadler: Deep Purple – Seventh Heaven

I can’t say that I’ve ever had the urge to check out any Deep Purple. Everyone knows Smoke on the Water and I actually really love Highway Star. This was a little bit heavier than I expected it to be, it was a nice surprise. This also doesn’t feel as dated as I expected it to either. I guess it is always a risk sending a big name that isn’t on my (or anyone’s) banned list as it means I’ve likely heard them and never wanted to hear more. It also means people may have preconceptions, as I did with Deep Purple. The lyrics and vocals aren’t particularly great but I enjoy the music a lot. I actually might give the album a go one day (although I’m likely to forget about it for quite a while before that happens).

6.5/10


WebRaider: Jolly – The Pattern

The first few times I listened to this I’ll admit that nothing really went in and stuck with me. I remember thinking that it sounded like something that I would like, but I don’t remember what any of it actually sounded like. This was maybe not the best sign. I definitely like it, vocals check, guitars check, drums check. It just doesn’t grab me by the balls and I’m not entirely sure why. This round has been another fairly strong one and I guess this was just up against tough competition.

6.5/10


Shadow Ninja: I the Mighty – Psychomachia

I’ve never heard of these guys and they sound like some sort of pop punk that I have listened to in years gone by (and still do at times). The chorus is catchy and I find it entertaining. I haven’t really listened to any new music in this style for a number of years so this is quite nice. I prefer the clean vocals in this I must admit and would rather not have the harsher vocals at all. They strike me as one of those bands that teenage girls (and boys for that matter) would fall in love with and become their gateway band into other alternative music. It was pleasant enough but I’m not sure I’ll check them out any further. I found this song quite hard to score actually.

7/10


Parama: The Hirsch Effekt – Cotard

First off, I love this album cover, it’s fucked up but cool looking. The vocals at the beginning (German?) kind of sound like they are being sung in reverse at a few points, which is kind of strange. There are parts where the heavier guitars sound a little Meshuggah influenced.  I like the repetitive lead guitar parts that go along-side the vocals. I like the heavier guitar breakdown part with the accompanying blast beats. I think the whole song goes on a bit too long for me however. It has a lot of the musical parts that construct something that I should really like but it falls down somewhere. I do really like the use of the horns towards the end (I really am a sucker for that sort of thing) but it doesn’t quite do enough to save this. I think maybe it is the length of the song that is harming it for me. I’d still likely check out the album though.

7/10


Scorpion: Orphaned Land – Ocean Land (The Revelation)

Another band I’ve become aware of, due to DTF, but not listened to. So I like the eastern influences at the start of this. The harsh vocals don’t quite do it for me in this song. This whole song just has solid written all over it for me. The guitar solo starts really well though and I like it quite a bit. Yea, this is no more than solid for me I’m afraid, I don’t have a great deal to say about it, which is a shame.

7/10


Sacul: Indukti – And Who’s the God Now?!

I’ve not heard of these guys before but although I wasn’t surprised to find out they were from a country where English isn’t the native tongue, I was surprised to discover they were Polish. This has a real tribal feel to it. This is mainly down to the percussion and the chanting style vocals in places. I think that this song may be another that suffers from being a little long, for me at least. It’s interesting for the most part and doesn’t get boring. I like the harsher vocals on this song and they contrast well when they are included. The vocals remind me of Serj Tankian at times and I do like them quite a lot. They are probably the high point of the song for me. The last minute of the song could probably have been cut for me. I mean, if it’s the album closer then I can see it working but as a stand-alone song, not so much. It is different and I can always respect that. Is this a standard representation of their sound I wonder?

7.5/10

 
Home: Maybeshewill – Opening/Take This to Heart

Love the piano intro to this. Together with the backing vocals it really reminds me of a part in ‘The Moon – Awake’ by The Dear Hunter. Actually it’s so similar that I’m not entirely sure TDH haven’t stolen it. I’m not sure if you intentionally sent this as you knew I’m a fan of TDH or it was coincidence but either way I like it. After the ‘Opening’ part of the song it does feel less TDH and I enjoyed it a lot. I like the use of the strings, when they are fairly subtle, at points here. This intrigues me and certainly makes me want to hear what comes next as we have no vocals here at all so I feel it’s all building to something. As a stand-alone piece I don’t think it’s the best you have sent but it makes me want to check out the album. That in itself is a job well done. In the context of the album I’m sure it’s even better. This also grew on my quite a lot actually.

8/10


Train of Naught: Intronaut – Fast Worms

Really love the vibe of this right from the off. It’s possibly the best song you have sent so far. The intro part has some serious Gojira vibes but then throws in some clean vocals that gives a slightly more Mastodon-esque feel. I love the more mellow, breakdown part that starts at 2:58. I think this is a song that is massively helped by the video for me. It’s weird as fuck but the Dolphin-man has this nice picture perfect dream of life with his girl during the mellow part of the song and it’s all beautiful. There’s some really cool bass lines throughout this and it feels really interesting. Then at 5:57 the heaviness of the beginning of the song comes back in (which is a real highlight) and our Dolphin buddy is brought back to the harsh reality that he is just super wasted. It’s really cool. I know you played me another song of this same album in one of the plug sessions but I think you made the right call sending this one. The instrumental part kinda makes it for me.  Definitely gonna check out more. Also, I think the best video so far.

8.5/10


Scar: Kamelot – March of Mephisto

You have been the most inconsistent in this roulette so far Scar but when you have gotten it right you’ve nailed it. This is a perfect example of you nailing it. I’ve been aware of Kamelot for years but it was after I kind of stopped listening to power metal. I always assumed this was just another standard power metal band (maybe they are). I have seen this album garner a lot of praise on DTF though so I’ve been more inclined to give it a spin recently. I’m really pleasantly surprised here. It has that epic, medieval sound to it (as you’d expect with a name like Kamelot). I love the vocals a lot in this, the melodies are great. But it is also backed by some great musical passages. The chorus is just so cool, I love everything about it and it raises this from being a standard song to something pretty awesome. I was quite shocked to see Shagrath from Dimmu Borgir featured on this song. I will basically be checking out this album soon, good work.

I suppose it was only letting it down a bit for me. I suppose the risk is that longer songs may just take longer to click for me.

Oh man, I agree. My consistency had been so wack. I'm glad you enjoyed this song.:tup

It really has been, send more like this, it's that simple  :lol

Great!

Yeah, the video is just as good, if not better than the song itself :lol it's one or my favourite music vids ever.

The video is just brilliant and definitely helped me enjoy the song more  :metal

When I was playing that The Gathering song on plug.dj everyone seemed to like it :/ you're the first who didn't :D but ok.

I didn't really dislike it, it just didn't do a great deal for me and I think I expected something slightly different, maybe that was it.

I kind of figured. For many it's either a 5 or a 10 song. That song always makes me want to cry.

Certainly appreciate the risk taking. Harsh noise will be just fine  :tup

Wowa, never made that TDH connections but I can see where you are coming from. Pretty confident I'm going to screw up my score in the following round though  ;D

Yea, I didn't make TDH connection until about the third listen, it's really similar though! You've been really consistent dude, a slip  up would be understandable at some point  :corn


OK, so themed round next.........

I know some of you are really not looking forward to this but buck up, it's all in good fun  :corn

I used to be massively into wrestling in my late teens and enjoyed all aspects of this great form of entertainment. Wrestling in the late 90's/early 00's was full of metal/rock band intro tunes. I was introduced to some good (and not so good) bands in those years. Stuff like Rob Zombie, Creed, Saliva, Kid Rock, Drowning Pool etc. I mean, a lot of the best intro themes weren't even actual songs by bands, they were written specifically as intro themes. I always loved that so many of these intros could give me goosebumps and give a big surge through a whole crowd.

I guess that the secret of a great intro is something that is distinctive, hits the ground running and is bombastic. Something like Stone Cold Steve Austin's intro was great, it started with breaking glass, the instant you heard it you knew what was coming. On the flip side you had stuff like The Undertaker whose intro started with a more ominous bell tolling and sounded like a funeral march. Anyway, I digress.

What I essentially want is something that describes your personality/attitude if you were a wrestler (just humour me  :lol). It doesn't have to be a specific style of music, it can be whatever you want. For anyone who has never watched wrestling and has literally no idea what a wrestler entrance theme is like I can post some links.

Feel free to participate fully in this themed round or half ass it, that's up to you. However, I will be handing out a few bonus points.

1. The first bonus point will just be for what I consider to be the best wrestler entrance theme. That doesn't mean I will necessarily like the song the best, I'll just think that it fits the theme best.

2. The second bonus point is where this gets even more ridiculous  :lol. When you all submit your song I want you to also tell me your wrestler name and gimmick. This can be as stupid or weird as you like as I will give a second bonus point to whichever 'wrestler' I think has the best name and gimmick. As an example, in the 90's there was a wrestler called Brutus the Barber Beefcake  :lol his gimmick was that he was a barber and he would have matches where whoever lost would get their hair shaved off. This was in the early 90's when wrestling gimmicks were all tongue in cheek and before the 'Attitude' era of Stone Cold, The Rock, DX etc.

3. The third and final bonus point will go to whoever's entrance song and name/gimmick compliment each other the best. This may be a hard one and if I was you I may not worry too much about it. I'd probably pick my song first then try to create some character gimmick around something in the song, but what the hell do I know.


Ok, I'm prepared for there to be a few questions about this round, or a mutiny  :lol (also, out of curiosity, have any of you ever been wrestling fans?)

I can link some examples and explain anything about wrestling to anyone who has no clue what is going on here.

Good luck, I think you will all need it  :corn

So your wrestler name is The Prophet of Apathy and your gimmick is undeveloped at this point as you can't be bothered, plus you hate fun and are a lone wolf. Hearing you loud and clear dude  :tup

Yep.

Come on, it's not the end of the world. If you decide not to attempt the theme and send a 9/10 song anyway you still get 9/10! It's not like I'm gonna penalise anyone because I feel their song doesn't fit the theme.

I'm not gonna force anyone to participate, it's all a bit of fun  :corn

Just think up some random crap  :lol

Like, off the top of my head:

The Taxidermist, he brings a stuffed animal to the ring with him and threatens to kill, stuff and mount his opponents. He also uses his stuffed killings to cheat (as a weapon, to distract/gross out opponents). You could use any number of songs about killing as an entrance song, especially if it mentions gutting etc (as a taxidermist would)  :lol

Don't worry about overthinking it. Have a look at some old wrestlers from the 80's/90's, there were some ridiculous characters out there.

I'd also suggest just picking a punchy, high energy song first then try and create a character around it maybe. I won't be judging this thing seriously, the most ridiculous may win the bonus point  :lol

Yeah dude, I remember checking out a song or two (not this one though) when the album released. I love Max Cavelera but he has a habit of releasing music that all kinda sounds the same, for at least the last 10 years or so anyway. I don't know why I never listened to the whole album?? It's good to hear him participate in something that doesn't have his standard sound. Also, all the other band members are  :tup

I'll do my best to keep this roulette moving at a steady pace. It's not always easy to fit in all the listens I would like but I'm getting there.

Ok, I'm going to start write ups after I've finished wrapping Christmas presents. There is a chance I might get them done by this evening.

I'll say that this is the weakest round so far. This is probably my fault as I think a fair few of you sent stuff you would probably never normally send! I knew this round would be a risk but it's all part of the fun  :biggrin:

The next round is open so you'll all have to bring your A game!!

Round 6 results

I managed to slog through and finish this round!!

I feel kind of bad for some of you guys in this round. I feel you may have been struggling to find a song to match the theme and sent songs that you would never normally send. When/if I ever do another roulette I don't think I will do a themed round like this again. Anywhoooooooooooo, on to the scores..................



Home

Wrestler: Heavy Henry the "Flaming Goose"

Song: Vulfpeck - Funky Duck


I remember seeing this song once before as you'd linked it in your roulette as a good example of how you like your short songs. Well, we said your run of consistently good scores would end eventually, I think your time has come. You really went for the ridiculous, novelty type of wrestler entrance. I can kinda see why you sent it and I did say to go as ridiculous as you wanted. It certainly lives up to it's name and it is funky as hell. I really don't dislike it, it's just very short and due to the lyrics it comes across as 'novelty' or something that is attempting to go viral. That kind of thing turns me off as I know it wouldn't have any staying power for me. It is entertaining and I love the singers vocal delivery. I just got what I wanted from it after about 3 listens and don't feel the urge to listen to anymore.

Your wrestler gimmick wasn't bad and it linked in with your song. This wasn't the sort of thing I imagined getting but in the context of a ridiculous character that fans (or other wrestlers) don't take seriously, it's kind of perfect.

5/10




Sacul

Wrestler: Smash Mouther

Song: Death Grips - I Break Mirrors with My Face in the United States


This one is quite hard to rank. I can totally see why you sent it for this round. It's really short, which isn't really a bad thing, but it doesn't have much in its run time that I really like. It's too repetitive on a few different counts. It's just not my thing, at all. As always, I appreciate the risk, but it didn't pay off this time.

Your wrestler gimmick was ok but lacked some of the detail that helped make some of the others so good.

5.5/10




Scar

Wrestler:

Song: The Pretty Reckless - Going to Hell


Isn't this the band fronted by the girl who was in The Grinch? This is actually the sort of thing (and maybe the only song sent) that I could see the WWE actually using. That doesn't mean it's what I'm looking for though. This feels very generic, radio friendly rock/metal. I'm quite picky with my female fronted metal, I know sex sells but I dubious of metal bands that use sex to sell. That's what pop music is about and I think credible music doesn't need anything but the music alone to sell it. Anyway, I'm not saying that is the case with this band but I'm suspicious that it is. It's ok but it doesn't have any surprises or, other than a few guitar parts, any parts I really like. Just not quite my thing.

You didn't actually get around to sending me a wrestler gimmick so unfortunately you missed out on bonus points.

5.5/10




Tomislav95

Wrestler: Hammer the Motivator

Song: Vision of Disorder - Element


This song is one that I feel you sent because you were trying to fit the theme, but wouldn't have ever sent otherwise (don't know, I might be wrong). I haven't really listened to this kind of hardcore for years. I used to listen too a bit of Hatebreed and this sounds fairly similar. It fits the theme but I'm not really looking for this kind of music nowadays. This isn't bad, it's just kind of standard hardcore. It does what it says on the tin.

Your wrestler gimmick was kind of cool wasn't as fully developed as some of the others.

5.5/10




Stadler

Wrestler: The Atomic Punk

Song: Atomic Punk


I know some of the famous VH songs, obviously, but have never heard a full album. As someone who LOVES the sound of electric guitar, and whose ear is always drawn to it, I always thought I should appreciate VH more than I do. This all sounds nice and the guitar work is the centrepiece for me but it doesn't quite 'get' me. I suppose it's hard listening to a band that inspired so many other bands. If I had heard this when it was released (or as a child, before hearing any other metal) then I'm sure I'd have a totally different view. This is a pretty solid song.

Your wrestler gimmick didn't have a great deal of depth but I'm pretty sure he would've looked cool, based on your description.

6/10




Shadow Ninja

Wrestler: The Viking

Song: Tyr - By the Sword in My Hand


I've had a fair few battle metal songs in this roulette. I find that they can often all sound similar. This kind of falls into this category. It sounds ok and I don't dislike it but I suppose I have my fix of this sort of music in my library already. I haven't really sought out any new music in this style for years. On the plus side it has a pretty good solo, which is always a selling point for me. It's solid and the score represents that.

As far as the theme goes, your choice of wrestler name is obviously quite uninspired. I'm not sure if you struggled to think of a name or weren't really into the theme (either is fine) but I'm sure it's no surprise that you didn't get a bonus point.

6/10




Scorpion

Wrestler: The Neon Wolf

Song: Pathfinder - The Lord of Wolves


Here we have another epic power metal song. Power metal is certainly a risk for me. The two power metal style songs that I have given 9/10's so far have had something that made them really stand out, for me at least. I'm not sure I remember seeing a wrestler enter to power metal to be honest but I can see why you sent it. I can't find too much to say about this. It's ok and solid enough but I've heard plenty of songs that do this better, for me.

Your wrestler gimmick was one of the better ones and only narrowly missed out on being the #1. I like that he dyes the hair of his opponent if he beats them and forces them to take selfies with him. That's the sort of weird crap that happens in wrestling sometimes.

6/10




Elite

Wrestler: The Sawmill Yeller

Song: Losers - Chainsaw


This starts of sounding like it could be The Prodigy or something. It's not necessarily what I would listen to but I don't actively dislike any of it. It strikes me as something you may not have sent in any other round. It has some parts to it's overall sound that I like but is just not my sort of thing. I'm not a huge fan of the vocals and the rest just kind of leaves me cold. However, I think it works really well in the context of the theme.

Your wrestler gimmick is kind of cool and it actually works really well with your choice of song.

6/10




Parama

Wrestler: Sergeant of the Parama Corps

Song: East of the Wall - Fleshmaker


I checked out THAT album by these guys last year, I thought it was ok but I wasn't really eager to listen again. This song however felt a little different. The harsh vocals definitely have a Mastodon feel. I really like the more melodic parts in this and the clean vocals. I must admit on the first few listens this song didn't really stand out to much. It has a sound that I dig but it nothing in particular jumps out and grabs my attention, I just feel like I'm waiting for the part that makes this song awesome, but it doesn't come. Saying that, the drumming is a highlight. I don't know, it's a hard one to rank. I think I still need more listens to get it or I need to her the whole album to appreciate it more.

I really like your wrestler name, you've thought about it and thrown a bit of a pun in there. Even after your initial lack of enthusiasm you've done pretty good.

6.5/10




Splent

Wrestler: The Professor

Song: Electric Light Orchestra - Fire on High


I quite like the eerie intro and it sort of works for this round. I've always been aware of ELO but never listened to them. Their name very well describes their sound and I could see them being the sort of classic rock band that I would like. I like the synths, I like the guitars when they come in, I like the strings. It has a powerful, epic feel to it. It hasn't really stood out when listening too much but as I write this I find myself digging most of what I hear. It feels dated, which can often be a turn off for me, but it doesn't suffer too much.

Your wrestler gimmick could do with a little fleshing out and I'm not sure it works well with your choice of song.

7/10




WebRaider

Wrestler: Venom

Song: Killer be Killed - Snakes of Jehovah


I checked out a few songs when this album was released. As a fan of Max Cavelera and Mastodon I was looking forward to hearing what they did. I'm aware of the other guys as well but not really fans of their respective bands. This is certainly a good song and will surely be getting round to blasting the album in the near future. This has a Max Cavelera feel to the riffs but it has the added bonus of including two other vocalists into the mix. I love the contrast in their voices. I have never really listened to mush by TDEP so I'm not sure if this is Greg's usual style of vocal or not. Either way, I like it. This sounds like I want them to sound, it sounds like a good mix of the band members and it doesn't end up a mess. It's kind of straight forward but I dig it.

You clearly put in the most effort with your gimmick. You even came up with your own finishing move (which nobody else did). I feel you may be the only wrestling fan here.

7.5/10




Train of Naught

Wrestler: The Trainwreck

Song: Twelve Foot Ninja


Ha! I love the little skit at the start of this song. Having lived, worked and travelled in Australia for a year I can say I have seen those sort of Aussie stereotypes first hand. It almost reminds me of something from Little Britain as well. Anyway, onto the song. I became aware of these guys (thanks to Spotify) earlier this year. I checked out the odd song but I don't think I heard this. This song was quite easily my favourite of the round. I think the video definitely helped as it made me actually quite liked the band based on their humour and not taking themselves too seriously. It has some serious djent going on, which I can be quite picky with, but the vocals are really cool. The chorus also manages to be catchy, epic and anthemic. This is definitely not the best song of the roulette so far but in this round it was easily the highlight. I love how this goes from some really crushing, heavy riffs to the funky little breakdowns and back again.

Your wrestler gimmick was one of the better ones and kind of fits well with the song you chose.

8.5/10




Now for the bonus points.......drumroll!


Best wrestler entrance theme:

Ok, I couldn't decide so I'm going for a three way tie. The best entrance themes are Train's, Home's and Elite's.

Trains works so well because it comes in with a gong, has the vocal coming in just behind and I could really picture it working.

Home's would work for his ridiculous character. It's very distinctive and I could see someone strutting down to the ring accompanied by this song.

Elite's just has a distinctive opening that would be instantly recognisable and works really well.

You all get a bonus point


Best wrestler gimmick:

WebRaider takes best gimmick as he went all out. This was from his PM -

"VENOM" is very mysterious and dark and you're never sure if you can trust him no matter if he's a heel or babyface (fan favorite) as he can and will strike anyone who gets in his way.


This special Venom (comic) inspired paint would be his look.
(https://i.imgur.com/SldBcPV.jpg)


To sort of honor other 'Snake' contemporaries of the past in wrestling I want something quick strike like Jake "The Snake" Roberts DDT but also to show how the VENOM sets in would go with something like the Cobra Clutch (originally Sgt. Slaughter). So I'll go with this awesome Cobra Clutch Backbreaker (shown by wrestler The Big Show). The quick strike (snake like) of the backbreaker part and then the cinching in of the venom and putting them to sleep with the Cobra Clutch sleeper part at the end. We'll call it the Venom's Bite.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RWPOYIjwO0


Finally the intro song... It's a great song IMO from -supergroup- Killer Be Killed called "Snakes of Jehovah"... it sets up great with the crashing beginning and will have everyone's hair standing on end knowing that VENOM is coming. A vicious song that ends with the chanting of "MURDER!" It's a -killer- song that just fits perfectly here. Also the girl in the video can be VENOM's valet/manager carrying multiple snakes with her at all times (sort of like in the video).  This combination will take down all other competitors!  :xbones

Killer Be Killed: "Snakes of Jehovah" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg3mhoHjdXE

I think you can all agree he earned this point. Well done dude, +1 bonus point for you.


Best theme/gimmick combo:

I'm gonna go with Elite for this. Although I wasn't a particular fan of your song dude I feel that your combo works really well. +1 bonus point for you.






Scores

11. Splent - 31.5 + 7 = 38.5
11. Stadler - 32.5 + 6 = 38.5
10. Scar - 33.5 + 5.5 = 39
9. Shadow Ninja - 33.25 + 6 = 39.25
8. Elite - 32 + 8 = 40
7. Tomislav95 - 36.25 + 5.5 = 41.75
5. WebRaider - 35.75 + 8.5 = 44.25
5. Sacul - 38.75 + 5.5 = 44.25
4. Parama - 39 + 6.5 = 45.5
3. Scorpion - 39.75 + 6 = 45.75
2. Home - 40.25 + 6 = 46.25
1. Train of Naught - 38.75 + 9.5 = 48.25



So, Home has been knocked of the top spot! Well, relax guys, the next round is an open one so you can send whatever you want.

I thought this would be up your alley, I already decided when I saw the themes that I wouldn't even consider Twelve Foot Ninja unless it would come to this round. They're far from my favourite band but they sure do pump up a crowd.

Yea, I think it's safe to say that what we both look for in metal is very different. You're highest scores so far are Brand New and fun. right? Maybe that is more the avenue to go down.

Yea dude, I'll allow that. I think my love of orchestral music comes from a combination of movie scores (Star Wars and all the big John Williams scores), Nobuo Uematsu's Distant Worlds albums (Final Fantasy music performed on the scale of a movie score, he's actually referred to as the John Williams of video game music) and Metallica's S&M album. If you want an idea of what I want then check out the links I'll post in a minute.

Ok, so first up is Mob Mentality by Earthside:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=mob+mentality+earthside (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=mob+mentality+earthside)

This is a perfect example of modern progressive metal featuring orchestration.

Next are a couple of links to Nobuo Uematsu's Distant Worlds performances:

Liberi Fatali:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj-UY8nIMZk&index=2&list=PLA8BAB9259BB4E2AA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj-UY8nIMZk&index=2&list=PLA8BAB9259BB4E2AA)

Terra's Theme:

And finally the intro to Metallica's S&M album. I've posted a link to the whole album but what I mainly want you to listen to is the intro and first song which is The Ecstasy of Gold/Call of Ktulu. This takes up the first 12 minutes but if you have the time please listen to this epic piece of music. This shit was born to be accompanied by an orchestra!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2Hgy_L3eXc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2Hgy_L3eXc)

These are perfect examples of what I'm looking for. I'll totally accept live versions with an orchestra. I know on the bonus disc of Opeth's new album they have some live tracks with an orchestra so there are bound to be plenty of bands that have done it that you could send. Any of the rest of you guys love what an orchestra can add to music like this?

Yea, PoS are possibly one of the biggest holes in my library. I think I'd tried a song or two back when I first started checking out all the big names in prog metal. Nothing stuck out enough to make me want to listen more. They are on my list to check out (along with way too many to name).

Hopefully within the next couple of hours guys.

This is one of the weaker rounds so far I think. I'm not sure if that is because I'm getting burnt out with the roulette, if you guys are or if you are running out of stuff to send.

there are still a couple of gems in here though  :tup

Round 7 results

Here we go guys, sorry this took a little longer than I'd hoped. My tastes are weird so suck it....





Shadow Ninja: Fever Ray - If I Had A Heart

Another band that I hadn't ever heard of and I'm not even 100% sure what  genre I would call this. It has this repetitive synth beat that is there from start to finish, throughout the whole song. It gives it a bit of a dark vibe and it's slightly unnerving which is kinda cool. The vocals at the beginning are sung in quite a deep tone and it's hard to make out what is being said. This is definitely not the sort of music I would ever seek out and it kind of leaves me cold, I just don't really find anything of interest to redeem this for me, sorry. As always, I appreciate a risk taker but it's just not my thing.

5/10


Parama: Julia Holter - Everytime Boots

I've not heard of Julia Holter before and had no idea what to expect. I know you'd said that you weren't going to send me any metal but judging by the EP you sent home, you still have plenty of metal to send me that I'd like, you've just been a bit unlucky. Anyway, this song is ok and has a bit of a modern country feel to it. It is really short and I feel like it's over before I've really gotten into it. I don't actively dislike it but it doesn't really have any replay value for me. I don't know what it is but I don't listen to a lot of music with female vocals, on a whole they don't do a lot for me. This falls into that category and the music doesn't really have enough to save it either. I know you can do better but as you said, you've given up trying to work out my tastes.

5.5/10


Sacul: Ludovico Einaudi - Divenire

Classical music in this style is difficult for me. I know that I have given examples of the sort of thing that I like (mainly big orchestral movie scores or similar but with video game music), I'm not sure if the reason I love that sort of thing is because of the nostalgic connection I have to it. Then again, there is orchestral video game music I love where I haven't even played the game the piece is from so who knows. This is certainly a beautiful piece but it's possibly the fact it's a bit on the sombre side that loses me a bit. I like music in this style that is triumphant and powerful, whereas this is beautiful and calming. I could easily listen to this when I'm in a certain mood but I just don't think I am in that mood very often. It's on the right tracks but not quite there for me. I think the main issue might be that I'm not too big on pieces where the piano is the main focus. I like the sound but I don't crave it as much as other instruments, I think I prefer it when it is an accompaniment.

6.5/10


Elite: Talking Heads - The Great Curve

I definitely wasn't expecting something like this from you Elite, but it's nice to get some curve balls :biggrin: one word I can use to describe this is funky, I always thought the Talking Heads were one of those 60's rock bands like The Beatles, The Kinks etc, but I may be confusing them with another band. This has more of a 70's disco feel or something, it could be on the Shaft soundtrack. I like the funkiness of it but it's not really the sort of music I would seek out. I can appreciate it for what it is though and I could see why people would like this. This one was probably the most difficult to score as I'm still not even sure now how I feel about it. The vocals are ok but the best part is that funky beat.

6.5/10


Splent: Project RnL - Another One

This probably reminds me of Haken more than anything else (which isn't a bad thing), the vocalist certainly lends to that. In the video it shows that this piece has mainly been put together using music apps for your tablet, that's fine but it kind of takes away some of the magic for me. It's great as a showcase of what you can do, but then they just play the second half of the song with real instrumentation anyway so it makes me just want to hear the full version with real instruments. The first half is all electronic but it still sounds good. The singer has a great voice but it is too similar to Ross from Haken, as is some of the overall sound, so it leaves me wanting to listen to Haken. It was kind of a safe bet as it also features Jordan Rudess, it's solid enough.

7/10


Scar: Celestial Harmonic - The Dying of the Light

I'm guessing from having a little look on Youtube that Celestial Harmonic is not a band, as such, and just one guy who produces this stuff at home. I'm perfectly happy with that and it's good that in this day and age people can just get their music out there. This song is an instrumental with a kind of epic feel to it. This is a good example of how I generally like my instrumentals, it's main feature is the lead guitar, which is what my ear is always drawn to. Towards the end there are some strings in the mix which add to the epicness and also the drums become a bit more prominent (are the drums programmed? They they sound it to me) The accompanying image on the Youtube video is just a space scene, this works as it conjures up the bleakness of space to me. Most of the lead guitar parts have an echoey, distant feel to them and the tone is just how I like it. There's nothing particularly mind blowing about this but it is very solid in it's delivery.

7/10


Stadler: UFO - The Writer

Stadler, you have easily been the most consistent with the style of songs you have been sending me, which is fine. This is a bit better than some of your previous offerings I think. It has a dated hard rock sound but I kinda like it more than some of the others. I do find myself air guitaring to this a fair bit, I like the riffs quite a lot. As I've said in some of my previous write ups, if I'd heard this at a young age, played by my older brother, I'm sure I'd have loved it. It just falls into the 'solid' category I guess. It's a pretty nice song that ticks all the right boxes ut nothing more. I guess nowadays, if I listen to older music I want something that's really out there and unlike anything I currently listen to. Like, at this point I'm probably likely to dig something like Frank Zapppa over UFO because it might be out of my comfort zone. This is a good rocker though.

7/10


WebRaider: Dekadent - Dead Mountain

I've not heard of this band before so had zero preconceptions of them. They are firing on all cylinders right from the off and this is easily the heaviest song of the round. I like the synths(?) in the background as it gives it a bit of depth. The vocals are fine but not my preferred style of vocal on this sort of thing. The guitar solo is a great one which brings it up a notch. This isn't one of the best that you have sent me but it's pretty good. It has some reallly cool bits but it isn't consistent enough for me to love it. I kind of like the end and the outro bit the best.

7/10


Train of Naught: Panic! At the Disco

I was never really a fan of Panic! at the Disco, I must admit. But I still tried to go into this open minded and not judge it on some of their awful past efforts. This has a bit of a fast paced swing edge to it. I think the issue that I used to have with older PatD songs were the vocals, I actually like them a bit more here. I find that I can't help clicking my fingers along to this, it's got that feel. It's reminds me of that scene in The Mask (with Jim Carey) where he is dancing in some club and the band playing are the sort with a double bass and trumpets or trombones. I really quite dig it and it was very unexpected. The chorus is one of the catchier ones in this round and quite infectious (with all the hey-ay-ay's). Yea, this is pretty infectious, it reminds me of that Moron Police song you sent me, it's that punchy kind of song. Still not sure that I'll actually listen to the album but this is quite nice. This song would've worked well in the sing along round actually, this is a great example of the sort of thing that I would sing my heart out to.

7.5/10


Scorpion: Pain of Salvation - People Passing By

Who is this? The Red Hot Chilli Peppers? Seriously though, I love the bass in this song. There are funky bass lines all over the place and it's so nice to hear that really audible kind of bass. This is one of the biggest holes in my banned list. I've tried possibly one of their album before and nothing blew me away. This song is a bit all over the place but it's really funky. I'm not sure how I feel about the vocals, maybe that's what put me off originally. They are ok but probably the weakest part (mainly because all the instruments sound great in this). I love how huge the drums sound in this, although the kick drum is a bit too much here but I'm not sure if that is just on the Youtube link you sent?. As I mentioned, I think the structuring of this song is a bit all over the place but there are so many cool bits that I can't help loving it. It doesn't feel too overlong which is nice. I'm not sure how representative this is of their sound? Is this also something from very early on in their career? I love the guitar solo at the end,  that sort of extended, jam session style solo works fo me. I will be checking out this album and then I'll see how I get on from there.

8/10


home: Slowdive - Golden Hair

I like that you sent me a live version in this round, I know that you said the live version is so much better (did you say you actually saw them play this live?). Now, I don't know the original song and I don't know the band, so I didn't have any expectations going in. This isn't the sort of live experience I am used to having, this is the sort of thing that would totally mesmerise and capture me, were I in the audience. This would be a great festival experience, after a few drinks. I love to close my eyes when I'm at live shows because I feel it helps my to connect with the music even more. This is a perfect example of a song that I would close my eyes to for the entire performance and just sway to the music. None of this describes the song at all but it's just my stream of consciousness as I'm writing. It's just pure atmosphere, there's very little in the way of vocals, there's no flashy guitar work, it's kind of repetitive but it creates a blissful atmosphere. It builds in a way, with more intense drumming an loads of reverb on the guitars. It's just quite magical and a prime example of why people should go to see live music, it gives you that experience that you will never get on the studio version. Really good stuff dude.

8/10


Tomislav95: Woods of Ypres - I Was Buried In Mount Pleasant Cemetery

This style of song is always a bit hit and miss for me, songs that lean towards the 'depressing' end of the spectrum can have a tendency to lose me. This, however, isn't one of them. After a few listens I found myself anticipating (and singing loudly) the "I was buried, in mount pleasant cemetery, alone and unceremoniously". I like the piano intro and as I said , I like it when the heavy guitars and vocals kick in. I really like the vocals on this song, they can be very make or break. They remind me bit of Type O Negative (although it's been a long time since I listened to them). I think you picked well for me as there are also some nice mellow bits with strings (and something like an oboe or a clarinet?? That was awesome!), which you know I'm a sucker for. That might be my favourite bit of the song. I've seen some of you guys mention this band a fair bit and they have certainly been on my radar. There is a great flow and it doesn't feel like an 8 minute song, it doesn't get repetitive at  all. I like the heavy section towards the end and the guitar solo. The black metal vocals at the end work fine for me and I like that they are layered over the clean vocals, it's a fitting end to the song. If the whole song was sang black metal vocal style I think this would've scored much lower from me. Definitely gonna give this album a spin soon, nice one dude.

Yes and yes. If I had known this one by the time the sing-along round came I would definitely have gone with it, it's so damn infectuous. I'm not a fan of this band to be honest, album has some cool moments but is probably not worth checking.

Not sure about the orchestral round but I would have to screw up reaaally bad to not make it through to the final rounds :corn

Glad you liked People Passing By (yes, it's from PoS' debut, which is fantastic, but a lot funkier and less focused at times than their other efforts, especially The Perfect Element and Remedy Lane), but I'm completely baffled by you thinking that Daniel is the weak link there - he's one of my favourite vocalists of all time.

Post by: twosuitsluke on January 10, 2017, 09:08:42 AM
Right, I know I said I'd write a bit about what I am looking for in this 'orchestral' themed round but I'll quote what I said earlier in the thread as it's pretty spot on:


Ok, so first up is Mob Mentality by Earthside:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=mob+mentality+earthside (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=mob+mentality+earthside)

This is a perfect example of modern progressive metal featuring orchestration.

Next are a couple of links to Nobuo Uematsu's Distant Worlds performances:

Liberi Fatali:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj-UY8nIMZk&index=2&list=PLA8BAB9259BB4E2AA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj-UY8nIMZk&index=2&list=PLA8BAB9259BB4E2AA)

Terra's Theme:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj-UY8nIMZk&index=2&list=PLA8BAB9259BB4E2AA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj-UY8nIMZk&index=2&list=PLA8BAB9259BB4E2AA)

And finally the intro to Metallica's S&M album. I've posted a link to the whole album but what I mainly want you to listen to is the intro and first song which is The Ecstasy of Gold/Call of Ktulu. This takes up the first 12 minutes but if you have the time please listen to this epic piece of music. This shit was born to be accompanied by an orchestra!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2Hgy_L3eXc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2Hgy_L3eXc)

These are perfect examples of what I'm looking for. I'll totally accept live versions with an orchestra. I know on the bonus disc of Opeth's new album they have some live tracks with an orchestra so there are bound to be plenty of bands that have done it that you could send. Any of the rest of you guys love what an orchestra can add to music like this?


I can add a few more links if needed?

I'll also add, I will except use of traditional instruments from other cultures if they are close to instruments that may be used in an orchestra. For instance, Chthonic (a Taiwanese kinda symphonic black metal band) use a traditional instrument, called an Erhu, in a lot of their music. It's like a Taiwanese violin. Use of string, woodwind and brass instruments will generally be accepted in this round but the more they are played in a classical style, the better.

If anyone has any questions or needs more links then just say the word.
Title: Re: Twosuitsluke's First Ever Roulette v. Round 7 Results
Post by: Crow on January 11, 2017, 01:49:59 AM
like, how much orchestration are you looking for here
"a few instruments" or "an entire orchestra" or somewhere in between?
Title: Re: Twosuitsluke's First Ever Roulette v. Round 7 Results
Post by: twosuitsluke on January 11, 2017, 03:55:23 AM
It definitely doesn't need to be a full orchestra, that would be too restricting. Like a few string instruments would be fine but it needs to be quite integral to the song.

For instance, 'I Was Buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery' by Woods of Ypres, that Tomislav sent in the last round, has a small section with a few string instruments and an oboe or clarinet. The section probably lasts about 1 and a half minutes, in an 8 minute song. I would allow that, as I don't want to be too restrictive, but that part is very short and not present for most of the song. I'd like something where the orchestral sound is a main part of the song structure.

I'm tempted to give bonus points of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 & 1, depending on how well I feel it fits the theme as I don't want people to just send a song that has a small string section, that lasts 30 seconds, that would get you a 0.25.

I think I might do the bonus point actually, so for those of you who have already sent, if you'd like to resend because you don't think your song fits the theme enough to get a full bonus point, that is fine.

So just to be clear, the more present and integral the orchestral sound is to the song, the more likely you are to get the full bonus point. As I said before, it's also worth checking to see if any of your favourite bands have played live with an orchestra as I'd be more than happy with some live performances. I know, Metallica and Opeth have done it, Devin Townsend is planning to do it with Ocean Machine this year. There will likely be more.

EDIT: One more example, a symphonic metal band like Dimmu Borgir works well for me. They have quite a lot of songs with a full orchestra accompanying them. I can post links if needed?

Ok, I've got 8 songs in so that's enough to start listening.

I'm quite eager to start getting stuck into this round. The average song length so far is just under 7 minutes so this will be a slightly longer round than the last few. I guess something orchestral kind of lends itself to something slightly epic, which increases the chances of longer songs. I'm happy as a pig in shit right now.

The last 4 who are waiting to send, try to get in before the end of the weekend if you can. Cheers.

Bits of tid:

I must say that I wasn’t expecting this genre of music mixed with orchestral instruments in this round. It also feels a little long winded.

The person who I was expecting to send this band didn’t. This song may be the closest to what I had in mind for this round but it also has its work cut out for it with the strong competition here.

This is quite easily the best song you have sent me so far. I feel this nails the theme, it’s epic and the vocals remind of [insert band name], I’m not sure if that’s intentional, because you know I like the band, or not.

The build in the second half of the song is great but I’m not sure the climax is enough of a pay off at this point.

Hard to say much, on first impressions, that isn’t centered around those vocals. I could see them being very polarizing.

I think this misses the mark when it comes to the theme but it’s a nice enough song, the vocals are probably the highlight.

This is like an orchestral [insert band name] song, due to the vocals, with a kind of trip hop beat. Quite an odd mix but it is working for me.

I find this quite beautiful and I could see myself singing along to this. I don’t find the orchestral element adds a great deal, for the majority of the song, and I could see myself still liking this even without it.

There are times when I love the vocals in this and also times that I don’t so much. This is going to take some listens as I’m not really sure where I stand at this point.

The music definitely takes me somewhere and conjures certain images in my head.

I’ve been aware of [insert name] for a number of years but I think is my first time listening. I’d say this is a bit of a gamble, which I respect, and I’m not sure it fits the theme so well for me.

I think this is Xerath and you expected me to send them :laugh: I thought about it though.

That would be a little disappointing, I personally think it might be this one:

The build in the second half of the song is great but I’m not sure the climax is enough of a pay off at this point.

And the one with polarizing vocals is probably Igorrr :P

I've probably given three full listens at this point. Work is crazy busy and my job interview is on Monday (I really need to do more prep work on that) so realistically results won't be in for at least a week.

Apologies as I know it is a pain for you all.

I could get my results in quicker if you were all happy for really short/half assed write ups? I don't really want to go that way but if you are all desperate to find out if you've made it through I can do as the majority please?

 That's OK, on my route that has been waiting for the final round results for like six months. I admit,  Real life definitely intervened, and then I sort of just kind of forgot about it until king reminded me like a month ago. I know I need to do mine, but I'm kind of lost in that mindset so I don't know if it's ever going to get finished This

I wouldn't say there's a minimum time limit. I mean I'd expect it to be over 8 minutes at least  :lol and yes, I'm happy with multiple songs that blend/flow together  :tup

I love Visions by Haken and Octavarium, they are probably my two favourite epics and I think that 20-25 minutes is a good length for an epic.

Round 8 Results

So here we are again, behind schedule as usual.
 
Eliminations incoming.................


 

Scar: ICE - L

 
I feel this is yet another strange choice from you Scar, although I respect the ‘not playing it safe’ approach. This is taken from some computer game right? I do love me some computer game music but this style (which is like something off a Dance, Dance Revolution game) isn’t quite my thing. I like the slowed down sections and all the strings that feature at these points but it’s the EDM parts that lose me, I’m afraid. It’s also a bit on the long side so kind of fails to keep my attention. There are honestly some parts that I really like in this song but ultimately it doesn’t hold up so well as song, on the whole.

5.5/10 + 0.5 Theme Bonus

Total Score: 6






Sacul: Igorrr – Tout Petit Moineau

 
Wow, this song. This song has two very distinct styles, vocally, that are very different and certainly polarize my opinions. It starts out with operatic singing and then the electronic side of it comes in. You hear flashes of the more powerful side of her voice, which is not operatic (which I prefer). She then mixes these two styles of singing throughout the song, along with yelps and screams (honestly it’s really impressive and I’d definitely see this live if I had the chance. I’m just not sure it’s my thing for listening at home). The orchestral element (as you’d said) are sampled strings. It fits the theme fairly well but not really in the way I’d hoped. With everything else going on my ear completely forgot the strings were there at all. It's a bold choice but not something I think I would choose to listen to.


6.5/10 + 0.25 Theme Bonus

Total Score: 6.75






Splent: Giuseppe Verdi - Dies Irae (from Requiem )
 

Well, I was already familiar with this piece before, as everyone probably is. This has probably been in countless films but I tried not to let that effect my score. It obviously nails the theme pretty well and is a powerful piece of music but it is VERY short. It’s over before it really even gets going. I can’t score it low because it is pretty good but I also can’t score it too high either, because of the length. This is just great goosebump inducing music, enough said.


6/10 + 1 Theme Bonus

Total Score: 7






Tomislav95: Goldfrapp - Clay
 

I think I may have actually seen Goldfrapp at Glastonbury festival back in ’05 or something. I’m pretty sure my brother is/was a fan. This may have been a risk as I don’t really listen to much music in this style, if I’m honest. It fits the theme quite well and there is some nice instrumentation. I do like her voice and it’s definitely not terrible, it’s just not the sort of music I really have the urge to listen to. The strings do increase my enjoyment of this song and the way it builds is pretty good. Her voice is easily the best part of this whole thing and I could see why people would love it, but personally women's voice's rarely do it for me the way guys voices do.


6.5/10 + 0.5 Theme Bonus

Total Score: 7





 
Stadler: Yes – Turn of the Century

 
I’m well aware of Yes as my Dad is a pretty big fan of the early Yes albums, especially. I’m not sure what I was hoping from this. It’s got a floaty kind of air to it and the orchestral element is all as a backdrop to the (mainly) acoustic guitar. The vocals are quite nice and just like the Yes vocals I’ve heard in the past, if I remember correctly. There is an instrumental section halfway through which introduces some piano and also a fairly restrained electric guitar solo (in contrast to the mainly acoustic guitar). I quite like the solo actually and the way it continues on behind the vocals. The orchestral element is quite minimal here if I’m honest and it’s just subtly adding to the sound of the guitars. This is fine but I was hoping for more in the way of the theme, I guess.


7/10 + 0.25 Theme Bonus

Total Score: 7.25






home: Ivar Bjornson & Einar Selvik’s Skuggsja - Skuggsja
 

Another song where I really didn’t know what to expect. This was the song, in the tidbits, where I said that it takes me on a journey. That’s totally how I feel about this. The beginning part has a tribal feel to it and coupled with the video it makes me feel of the wilderness, nature and a more organic way of life. That kind of appeals to me. I don’t mind the spoken word style of vocals, though it’s not this songs strongest point. I’m not sure what language this is in but that also doesn’t effect it negatively as I don’t always really focus on lyrics anyway. The song takes a little while to get going but once it does it kind of mezmerises the listener. I’m not sure this song feels so orchestral to me, like I said, it feels more tribal. There are strings and stuff but they feel like a traditional style string instrument. That’s ok though as I did use the Erhu as an example of string instruments that I’d accept. Is the whole album in this style? I find this interesting more than anything and it was also the most difficult to score in this round. Looking forward to what else you can throw my way.


7/10 + 0.5 Theme Bonus

Total Score: 7.5

 




Shadow Ninja: Cloud Cult – Unexplainable Stories

 
As I’d mentioned in the tidbits (I think), this is like Biffy Clyro (I know I didn’t actually mention the band name) with a kind of trip-hop beat and a sense of grandiosity. I wasn’t sure on it at first but it’s grown on me a bit. It fits the theme better than some of the other songs here and has a good use of horns at the beginning (which I like). The trip-hop sounding beat is nice as well as I do like it when different genres blend together (that maybe shouldn’t work). I have no idea who these guys are but I’m intrigued. This is a great example, for me, of where a song is vastly improved by the orchestral instruments, even though the song would’ve worked without them, other than the intro that is. I suppose it may be a little on the short side and although I do like it there isn’t really any part of the song that I LOVE!


7.5/10 + 0.75 Theme Bonus

Total Score: 8.25






WebRaider: Xerath – Unite to Defy

 
I’ve definitely been aware of these guys for a while and I was kind of expecting Train to send them in this roulette, at some point. No one, other than you, really went for the full on metal song in this round. This is sort of what I had in mind with this round, something heavy which is complimented by some form of orchestral music. I’m happy with the approaches that some of the other guys took as it really paid off for some of them. This was one song I was going into with a bit of expectation and although I wasn’t let down it didn’t completely grab me by the balls. This has everything that should tick all my boxes but it falls down somewhere, it could be the vocals. It also feels a little on the short side and I was almost waiting for the ‘best’ bit to come. It's like I'm wanting myself to like it more than I do. It does kind of fit them theme in pretty much the way I’d hoped though so I can't fault you there.


7.5/10 + 0.75 Theme Bonus

Total Score: 8.25






Scorpion: Clint Mansell – Death is the Road to Awe

 
As I’ve not seen the film that this piece of music is taken from I’ve got no context as to what type of scene this is the accompaniment to. That being said this is still an emotional piece and has some really powerful moments. It does take quite a while to build but when it starts, around the 5 minute mark, with a drum beat that steadily grows it seems to be going somewhere. It does drop off at around the 6:20 mark only to start building again. By 7:30 I finally get the climax I’ve been waiting for but I’m not sure it’s enough. It is over quite quickly and I don't feel it’s worth the wait. The highs in this song are great but there aren't quite enough of them. Like, the 30 second period right at the end (before the final 30 seconds) is pure gold. Maybe if I watched the film I’d appreciate it even more but as I haven’t, it’s good without being great. This obviously fits the theme really well as it is a full orchestral movie score.
 

7.5/10 + 1 Theme Bonus

Total Score: 8.5






Train of Naught: So Hideous - Yesteryear
 

I didn’t really know what to expect from this as I’ve not heard of this band before. I wasn’t expecting those black metal style screams though. I don’t really have a problem with them as they sound so distant and low in the mix that they aren’t the focal point. I quite like vocals like that sometimes, especially with that style of screaming, as I’m kind of focusing on the music and the vocals don’t overpower and distract too much. Musically this is ok, it does fit the theme fairly well and has strings featured in large chunks of the song. The drumming is really good and pretty prominent throughout the song whereas the guitars are more low-key and just bring the whole sound together. The crescendo at the end has a larger orchestral presence and that part really is the best part of the song. I will likely check out the whole album. It definitely uses a more atmospheric approach, which I am liking more nowadays, compared to a few years ago. I'm actually giving this a final listen at home with my good headphones on (as I did with all the songs so there is no unfairness) and it sounds really huge. I really do love how the drums sound in this, really cool song.

 
8/10 + 0.75 Theme Bonus

Total Score: 8.75

 




Elite: Ulver – Son of Man
 

Elite, I think this is easily the best song you have sent so far. I’ve been aware of Ulver for a number of years, for some reason I always thought they were going to be similar to Enslaved, don’t ask me why. This is quite dark and a bit creepy but the atmospheres are great.  The best bit is the singers voice I think, it works really well with the song and he has a great range. He also reminds me of Einar, of Leprous fame, at times as well. Not sure if that was intentional or not but I like it. I like the way this starts to build around the 3:45 mark, this song is probably the most ‘epic’ of the round and I think I was struck from the first listen. I suppose it fits the theme a bit more loosely than some of the other songs, at times, but there are some great full-on orchestral moments and the highs are really high. We even have some Christmas song-esque bell chimes at points, which work really well. Listening on my headphones now I'm also picking out the little sounds in here that bring back memories of the Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack, awesome. The last 2 and a half minutes are especially great. I really like this a lot and will certainly be checking out more.


8.5/10 + 1 Theme Bonus

Total Score: 9.5






Parama: Oceansize – The Frame


I’m sure I’ve been aware of these guys for a number of years, like I had a friend who was really into them at some point. I think I may have also read your ‘Top 50 Albums’ thread where you had a few of their albums, if I remember correctly. Ok, so I really quite like this. It starts very simple and it’s all very subdued. There are lots of nice little sounds that are dropped in around the guitar that build on the overall sound before the vocals come in. I really like the guy’s voice and this is totally the sort of thing I can see myself singing along to. There are some lovely vocal melodies and he’s just got a soothing voice. The music kind of keeps pace through the first half of the song and there is actually quite a lot going on musically. It fits the theme well as the orchestral element accompanies, compliments but also takes its chance to shine at certain points. I really like some of the drum work from around the 6 minute mark and I love the way this song feels like it has a constant slow build all the way through it. It feels well timed, it’s not rushed and it’s the sort of 10 minute song that doesn’t feel like 10 minutes at all. It’s actually kind of great and I hope that this sort of song isn’t a one off for these guys, I’ll definitely be checking this out. I’d say this fits the theme really well. You could’ve gone with a song that was an all-out orchestral affair but this compliments without becoming something that fades into the background. Really good choice of song.


9/10 + 0.75 Theme Bonus

Total Score: 9.75


 

 

 


 

 

 

Scores

 

12. Scar - 46 + 6 = 52

10. Splent - 45.5 + 7 = 52.5

10. Shadow Ninja - 44.25 + 8.25 = 52.5

9. Stadler - 45.5 + 7.25 = 52.75

8. Elite - 46.5 + 9.5 = 56

7. Sacul - 50.75 + 6.75 = 57.5

6. Tomislav95 - 50.75 + 7 = 57.75

5. WebRaider - 51.25 + 8.25 = 59.5

4. Parama - 51 + 9.75 = 60.75

3. Home - 54.25 + 7.5 = 61.75

2. Scorpion - 53.75 + 8.5 = 62.25

1. Train of Naught - 55.75 + 8.75 = 64.5




So there we have it, Parama has managed to sneak into the top 4 and push out WebRaider.

Honestly guys, thank you all so much to those who have been eliminated (I'm very used to how that feels). I think everyone has at least sent me one song that I've LOVED and given me plenty of bands to check out. I will look forward to compiling a 'best of' compilation once this is over.

For those of you who are still in, give me those epics  :corn

Meanwhile, is there a minimum time limit for the epic round? And are we allowed to send multiple songs that belong together like DT"s In the Presence of Enemies? I might as well check out my options today because I'll have less free time starting tomorrow.

I wouldn't say there's a minimum time limit. I mean I'd expect it to be over 8 minutes at least  :lol and yes, I'm happy with multiple songs that blend/flow together  :tup

I love Visions by Haken and Octavarium, they are probably my two favourite epics and I think that 20-25 minutes is a good length for an epic.

Deciding between three songs and two bands right now, I will make my decision when I get home. two out of the three songs are classic train-core so I guess I will go with one of those :corn

I have only listened to the whole album once actually, but I didn't liked it as much as I like this song. There's quite a large quantity of high grunts which I don't like at all.

So yea, I'd already mentioned a bit.

I'd say a minimum length of like 12 minutes (but I can be a little flexible). I'm happy with a set of songs that flow into one another and are meant as one overall piece.

I do really love Visions and Octavarium and they are my favoured epics that spring to mind. Using Dream Theater as an example, I'm not too big a fan of 6DOIT, that feels like a load of songs that are all stuck together (which it essentially is). I don't mind A Change of Seasons, I really like Illumination Theory, although it doesn't flow as nicely as Octavarium.

I do like epics that build to a climax and have a 'pay off' I like there to be some awesome part towards the end of the song that makes it worth the listen. Off the top of my head I can't think of many examples of what I'd like. I can think of quite a lot of good 10-15 minute epics, and it's fine if you want to send something that length, but I am hoping for more like 20+ minutes if I'm honest.

Ok, well what I really want is something that flows well, doesn't feel too disjointed, builds to a good climax and has a great 'pay off'. It doesn't necessarily have to be 20 minutes. If you think the songs you were planning to send can match Octavarium or Visions and you think I'll love them then go ahead and send, even if they are shorter than 20 minutes. I trust your judgement dude  :tup

I just noticed an entirely different band that I for some reason figured would be on the banned list, and this is looking to be my most profitable option (though I'm not as optimistic about this round as say, the WWE round :lol). It's not 20 minutes but it's the first song I've encountered among my options that actually has a 'finale', and sounds more like an actual epic than just a really long song.

Yeah, I'm sending it now, here goes :corn

Well depending on the length of the songs the other guys send and whether they mind you sending something just over the limit, I might allow it.

Maybe.....

I can't think of anything in the 20-30 range though, all my epics are either 12-17ish or greater than 35  :lol

I'll figure it out tonight hopefully

12-17 is honestly fine. Just because I have an idea of what I want doesn't mean that I'll like a song that fits into that criteria more than one that doesn't  :corn

More than anything I want a good song.........











Send me one of them!

I'll send tomorrow.

Thanks for having me, I'm glad you liked my swan song.

Regarding Ulver, all of their albums are different (and I really mean different). If you enjoyed Son of Man, which you did, you could check out the rest of the album it came from. Another good place to start is their live album 'The Norwegian National Opera' and see what songs you like on there. Follow them up with whatever record they're from.

My favourite Ulver is Perdition City, followed by Messe I.X-VI.X. But they're all good. Even the three 'black metal' records they started out with. (I don't know why people refer to those as the black metal trio, while Kveldssanger doesn't contain growls or electric guitars whatsoever).

Hey guys, I'll get to hangman at some point today. Those of you who follow me on Spotify may have already seen some of the songs though as I wasn't listening 'privately'.

I was thinking about the EP, I haven't thought on rules too hard.

I'll go with like a 40 minute max/25 minute min limit you are allowed to send as many songs as you can fit in that time, you need to use at least two different artists,I'll score the EP as a whole out of 20 and then score the flow of the EP out of 5.

How does that sound to you guys? Have I missed anything?

In regards to scoring songs out of 10, I've just realised that doesn't really work out fair if you send lots of songs  :lol (so I've edited that part).
Title: Re: Twosuitsluke's First Ever Roulette v. Have some results!!
Post by: Train of Naught on February 04, 2017, 03:12:11 AM
Scoring EP's will always be a bit tedious due to the ability to insert "transition" tracks. For me personally, if they are like 1-2 minute tracks and work really well with the following/preceeding track, I would just not score them at all, but rather take them into account for the flow score, or as a complementing element to the "real" track that follows or preceeds.

And yeah, sounds fine! I'm gonna look at my options over the weekend and will make sure I have something by the time results are up.

Post by: Train of Naught on February 04, 2017, 10:01:57 AM
So your band is Inter Arma, and after some quick research, the longest song I found is called The Cavern and it fits the hangmanen :corn so that was it? Everything guessed? :lol

As the next round will only be 4 songs I'm hoping I can pick up the pace with this. No rush though guys, the 4 of you who are left are usually pretty punctual anyway so we're good.
:rollin

"only 4 songs", gets two 15-16 minute songs, 4 tracks by another band almost reaching 20 minutes of music , and a 45 minute song. Have fun mate :corn this roughly equals twelve 8-minute songs so I don't think this is any shorter music-wise than a normal round

I was thinking of not bothering with hangman this round as I imagined this would happen. All guessed, kudos.

Yea, I know it's still a lot of listening but I still only need to do 4 write ups  :biggrin: so that will take less time.

I gotta say this is a really strong round, based on one listen. Of course Parama's is gonna take a lot longer to digest than the other three (it's basically an album  :lol)

I would've loved to have been able to receive an epic from all 12 participants as if this round is anything to go by I would've received some corkers. I might start a new thread to discuss people's favourite epics.

It's harder than I thought, I've used most of my top-luke stuff up already.

Right now I have 2 draft EP's, the first being more on the atmospheric/emotionally intense side, and the other one being more of a rocker. Knowing you, I'm probably going with the rocker :lol it's still pretty messy though so I'll need some more time.

Well I hope to get the results up for this round by Friday evening but there's no hurry. I'd rather you guys have a bit of extra time so you are happy with them. I would love to actually make it to an EP round  :lol but I know I'd struggle to make a perfect EP with maximum flow.

Well, ordinarily I would say go with the rocker but I think that maybe that EP would be harder to get a good flow opposed to the atmospheric/emotional one. Go with your gut but maybe the non rocker will come together as a more cohesive EP.

Nonono, the atmospheric one actually has terrible flow as it is :lol I have like 3 songs with epic endings scattered through the EP, I have a hard time finding songs that are enjoyable on their own and carry the same atmosphere on to the song following it.

I might do something inbetween, we'll see, I have almost the entirety of tomorrow to give it a closer look.

To be honest, being able to use Cult of Luna for this EP round would have been wonderful, silly me :facepalm:

Round 9 Results

Following hot on Tomi's heels, here are some results....



home: The Pineapple Thief – Remember Us

I’ve heard a bit about these guys and they are certainly on my radar. Pretty sure I read some Dear Hunter comparisons somewhere. This is quite beautiful but I’m not sure it nails the ‘epic’ side of things as well as some of the other songs. This has quite a solemn feel to it and I like the violins (or is it cello’s?) that accompany the singer. There is an instrumental build which starts but cuts off around the 6:00 minute mark. The song loses momentum a bit here for me and I lose interest a little. The song does start to pick up again after a few minutes but I feel as though the previous section could’ve maybe been dropped altogether. They introduce some electronic sounds from this point in the song which doesn’t do a huge amount for me, I must say. I have found that when I have had this song on in the background it is really nice, and I do like it, but when I listen to it intently I find there are some parts that just lose me. It also doesn’t really have an epic ending or climax. It’s just got some tough competition in this round. I feel it could probably be cut down to a really great song if it was trimmed in a few places. The end is really cool for instance and I love the outro, just a shame that bit is cut a little short.

6.5/10



Train of Naught: Cult of Luna – Cygnus

This starts with some female vocals that remind me of Bjork or something, I have no idea who the female vocalist (Julie Christmas) is but this soon gives way to the crushing guitars that follow. There’s a really nice thick sound to this song and I admit that I definitely liked it from the off. The harsh male vocals are the sort that are just fine by me, they don't have as much of a prominent role anyway though. I’m not really one for paying much attention to lyrics (as you all know) and I can’t help but be drawn to the instrumentation. Julie did start to draw me in though and I did feel that I maybe took more notice than I normally would. The middle section really keeps the song flowing along nicely until the climax around the 9 minute mark, it’s good to hear the range of Julie’s vocals at this point as she doesn’t hold anything back. There is definitely a climax to this song and really the whole last third feels like the climax. I love the pounding drums in the background and the layered vocals in what feels like an extended outro. I quite often like contrast in my music and the contrast between vocalists in the last two minutes of this song is the sort of thing I really like, I find myself wanting to sing both parts. It's all a bit hypnotising, in a good way. Yea, it’s pretty cool and doesn’t really feel like a 15 minute song, atmospheric and crushing at the same time. It's not the greatest epic I've ever heard but it's pretty good. This round is difficult anyway as longer songs are always going to take longer to fall for.

7/10



Parama: Inter Arma – The Cavern

Being the longest song (and almost as long as the other three songs combined) this was hard to score. I can’t really go through all the parts that bring this song together or which bits I like and dislike as it would take too long (but I guess I’ll try). I can just do my best to rate it on the whole. There are plenty of comparisons to other bands that I could throw around and I can totally get why you would send this to me. It is of the sludge ilk and starts with some slow heavy riffing, and some doom-y kind of vocals. At the time of writing this I’m on my 4th listen through and will likely fit in one more listen before posting results. I feel like the majority of this has sunken into my memory at this point and I’m starting to remember (and anticipate) the bits I like, which is cool. Due to the style of this song it is in no rush and the first quarter goes by with a lot of repetitive, crushing riffs which I do enjoy, but the vocals mainly leave me cold. The tempo picks up a bit around the 12 minute mark and then there is a shift again around 14 minutes. This part has some Baroness-esque guitar melodies and is probably one of my favourite parts (I was cooking my tea just while listening to this part and it had me air guitaring along so that's always good). This part may also be more appealing to me as it is mostly instrumental and the vocals are pretty few and far between. At around the 21 minute mark the band shake things up again by introducing some strings into the mix. You honestly don’t hear that sort of sound alongside the heavy, sludge riffs very often. As I’m listening now the vocals really remind me of another band but I really can’t place it. My favourite section, vocally, is when we get some cleans over the mellow part around 26 or 27 minutes. I prefer this vastly over the harsher vocals and there is a nice guitar solo as well, it has the most warmth and feeling within the whole piece (to me at least). I’m not sure if this, as an EP, is supposed to represent the journey deeper into a cavern, but if it does this part right here is the depth that I wish to stay at. This is an EP that has distinct sections and could work as multiple songs that flow together but it also works as one long song. It doesn’t have that epic ending but to be honest it does have the great section around the end of the second third of it. Ultimately the biggest let down in this song, for me, are the vocals. They are ok and kind of work with the music but they don't do a lot for me. Secondly is the fact that this song has a pretty good climax and could actually have ended about 8-10 minutes earlier. I think I would've preferred that as I'm not too into the end (especially the last 5 minutes or so). There is plenty that I love about this but that's the risk with a 45 minute song, keeping it consistently awesome! I’ve noticed that these guys are playing in Bristol in the beginning of May so I may actually go see them.

7.5/10



Scorpion: Wilderun - And So Opens the Earth / Hope and Shadow / Bite the Wound / The Faintest Echo

This song is really cool as it blends a few genres throughout its run time whilst also being a folk/battle metal epic, which I haven’t heard many of. I already have this album on a Spotify playlist but haven’t gotten around to it. More than anything this reminds me of ‘The Varangian Way’ era Turisas. They also manage to pull off epic folk/battle metal similar to this. Epic certainly describes this, the guitar sound is really memorable and there is some serious riffing at times (and some great lead guitar). The variety of vocal styles, mix harsh and clean, makes this feel grandiose. The second part of this is acoustic and again has serious Turisas vibes, there are also other string instruments including a harp (or something very similar) which build the sound and help give it a fuller feeling. The ending even ventures into a kind of wild west motif just before the reprise of a heavy section from the first part. The third part starts with a movie score intro, of goose bump inducing proportions, leading into more heavy riffs. Fairly early on in this third part we have some guitar soloing and a fast section with harsh vocals delivered at breakneck pace. Again there are some really interesting guitar leads and this doesn’t feel generic at any point. This really does feel cohesive whilst throwing a lot of styles at you in a relatively short space of time. If the album itself is as good as this suite then I’m in for a treat. The ending of the third part has some great clean vocals and an outro that is clearly leading you into the final (epic) act. The final act isn’t quite as good as the first three in my opinion (especially the first half of it). You finally get a climax that lasts roughly the final 2 minutes and this section sounds great. I really wasn’t expecting something like this for this round but it is really good and fits the round incredibly well, can’t wait to check out the album.

8.5/10








3. Parama - 60.75 + 7.5 = 68.25

3. Home - 61.75 + 6.5 = 68.25

2. Scorpion - 62.25 + 8.5 = 70.75

1. Train of Naught - 64.5 + 7 = 71.5


This round was always going to be a difficult one to score as long songs can take a long time to sink in. I'm very pleased with what you guys sent though as I am going to check out all four bands.

Next up is the EP round then. I will admit that I'm planning to take my time with this round and savour it. I want to give all of these the time they deserve and not rush them. I also need to iron out exactly how I am going to score these. I'll likely do it as I'd posted with the last round results.

personally, i feel like the opening suite is the weakest stretch of that wilderun album, though it's still damn good the whole way through  :lol

also that is an acceptable score i can live with. i'm not really bothered by the vocals at all, my only gripe is the whole "15 minutes of basically just two riffs" thing going on at the start and end (though the riff on its own kinda rules) but everything inbetween is great.

anyways i have no clue what to put on my ep, yolo yolo yolo

I didn't have too much of a problem with the repetitive riffing for the first ten minutes. It was the end that killed it for me, even though I still enjoyed the song in general. It could've ended at 38 minutes and been better for it.

Eh, if you don't like the lead vocalist you won't love this band like I do, but I bet you'd like the song "The Wreck of S.S. Needle" more (best song on the album), it's 100% Julie on vocals and is her best performance on the album by far.

I may give my EP more time, but if not I will send it tomorrow.

i think i've found enough songs that i like enough to put together a cohesive EP, might replace one of them though, we'll see
gonna be crazy heavy intense  :metal :metal :metal

edit: yeah i'm not happy with my opener right now, i wanna replace it and maybe move my track #2 to be the opener if i need to, ep making sucks when it's not as easy as making home's perfect beautiful ep was. i'm never gonna have an ep that good again lol

This is easily my heaviest EP to date :metal I don't think it's as good as the one I originally would have sent home if I made it to finals, but better than the one I sent Sacul for sure. Similar to you, I'm having doubts about my opener, but I'm probably going with it since it's the best I can find. My closer is more epic than the song I sent in the epic round and it's 5 times as short, I mostly prefer short songs to be honest :lol

Oh yeah I'm just putting it all together right now and I'll do a short writeup afterwards, you'll get the EP :soon:

I just noticed that my first two songs (same band) are on the banned list :facepalm: :facepalm: just finished making the EP too, how did I miss that

home has sent me your EP as I requested it from him  :biggrin: I already know about half of the songs but it seems really good. I haven't listened to it yet as I thought there was a chance you may have sent something to me from it, over these last few rounds. I'll give you a review of it after this roulette has finished  :corn

i don't think i'll be coming back to listen to this EP like I did with home's but that's because this EP is just filled with fantastic songs I'm a little burned out on right now :lol

but i hope you enjoy it and give me a lot of delicious 7.5/10s

No worries dude. home still hasn't sent his yet so no rush. Train and Parama both sent me the actual files in this round (Train actually sent it as one file as there were cross fades and some songs were edited down). If you could do that it would be great actually. If not then don't worry too much  :tup

Dammit. Totally my own fault, I should have really checked previous rounds of this roulette. :P

I've got two tentative replacements lined up, giving them a shot. I think they'll work quite well. Let's see how they turn out.

I know I'm in the wrong thread for this but it's mostly the people that follow roulettes anyway, anyone wanna join the plug tonight? I'll be in there probably about an hour from now

May the best man win, I'm pretty glad with my EP but it definitely has some flaws
Title: Re: Twosuitsluke's First Ever Roulette v. Results are go!
Post by: Scorpion on February 13, 2017, 10:10:21 AM
Yeah, I'm probably in. I'll be doing some studying on the side, but I'll still give all you guys some awesome music all the same. :P

Also, sent my revised EP. One of the changes is actually for the better imo, but I'd have preferred the original first song that I had initially planned. However, going with that song and doing the other replacement would have sent this EP over 40 minutes, so realistically, this is probably the best it's going to get.

Post by: Scorpion on February 13, 2017, 10:55:24 AM
Had another listen, and yeah, I'm quite happy with my EP. It's a little on the long side, but I think, especially given that two of my initial choices were banned (because they were sent earlier in the roulette and I wasn't paying attention, lol), I'd say that this is about as good as the EP could get.

Looking forward to EP hangmanen once home sends his stuff. There's always so much to guess on EP hangmanens that I usually feel slightly less terrible about my guessing skills because I can almost always score some low-hanging fruit. :lol

Post by: Train of Naught on February 13, 2017, 10:59:29 AM
Not gonna lie, I won't be shocked if my EP is the first one to have all songs guessed, it's not exactly new shit in there. Just some all around good shit I've discovered over the last few years.

Also I'm in the plug right now, jamming Cult of Luna's "Salvation" in full until someone joins.

In regards to scoring these EP's I was planning to score each song out of 10, get a total score, then divide that total score by the amount of songs on the EP, giving an average score out of 10. I'll then times this by 2 and round to the nearest .25, giving a score out of 20. I'll then score the flow out of 5 and add that giving you a potential max score of 25. Does that sound fair? Is everyone happy with their individual songs being scored out of 10 or does anyone want two songs to be scored as one song (like if one song is an intro or outro?). PM me if you do  :tup

This one is still laying around in my plug.dj discovery list, need to get on that album soon. Man you weren't lying when you said you composed a really weird EP.

I also know the one after motW, think Parama sent me that same song

Post by: Train of Naught on February 14, 2017, 10:57:53 AM
Oh it's the last one, I love this song

Solstafir - Danki

I also see a Thrice song I think (second one on Parama EP) but none of the songs I know fits the title (i think).

home's last song is ?????? Of Time
Oh yeah! Sleep Party People - Change In Time, close enough

So 2 of you have sent luke a song that has been sent to me before by someone else, interesting

I didn't. I actually caught the Glen Hansard one last night but I was too tired to type so I just went to sleep. Also that line is the reason I ruled out any Thy Catafalque / Rosetta / Progenie Terrestre Pura shenanigans or any other classic heavy Parama band

Still no fucking clue what the first song is

to be fair it's easy to put thy catafalque on a quiet EP, there are more than enough songs for it

i just don't feel strongly enough about any of them.

also progenie terrestre pura is banned, i sent them in like round 3 or something  :lol

heck, i don't feel strongly enough about the song i used as the opener either but i couldn't find anything to replace it  :lol

and i'm surprised you of all people don't know what it is, train

sucks that there's no new roulettes going on right now because i have a ton of great new stuff to toss at people

Yea, I didn't even clock that. We'll only have Tomi's after this finishes. No new blood coming through I guess.

I couldn't really see myself doing this again for a couple of years at least. It's already gone on way longer than I expected. It has been great though and given me a ton of new shit to check out  :tup

i'll probably start one up whenever i run out of new stuff to dig into, which may or may not happen anytime soon. maybe i'll do one this summer again, a full roulette this time  :lol

i think basically everyone who participates in these has done a roulette in the past year or so though  :lol

Please do countdown writeups whenever you post results though, those are always the most fun

I initially had Ars Moriendi on it. I had totally forgotten that you had sent that in this very roulette (with less than stellar results). But yeah, glad to hear that you approve of my EP.

I have no problem with songs that mix genres/musical styles and blur the lines between them. Ars Moriendi, however, felt like it was weird for the sake of being weird. Like purposefully throwing stuff together that is so different to get a reaction. It didn't feel like it was natural. Inevitably with songs like this you will always get people who will be like "This is genius, you just don't get it." (and I'm not saying that's what you guys are like). But actually no, it's just not very good (in my opinion) and way too jarring for me, and I like jarring music when it's good. Like that Dir en Grey track we were listening to in the plug.dj the other night.

Don't know how confident that makes you feel Scorp?  :lol

Meh, I could have sent something safe and unexciting, but where's the fun in that. I'm at least sure that my EP isn't boring. If you like it, great - if not, I still had fun in this roulette. Win-win, I'd call that. :P

Totally, as I've said many times I like a risk taker but of course it is a risk. The two songs originally on your EP, that had already been sent, (Justice for Saint Mary and Ars Moriendi) hit both ends of the spectrum for me, one I loved, one I didn't. I like music that feels like it comes naturally to the artist and not in anyway forced. I don't know, I think what I disliked about the Ars Moriendi thing was all the culturally appropriated music. It wasn't adding a cultural influence to the music at points during the song, it was almost completely culturally appropriated. Maybe it's just me  :rollin
Title: Re: Twosuitsluke's First Ever Roulette v. Hangman Junkies!
Post by: Scorpion on February 15, 2017, 08:01:52 AM
I love Ars Moriendi, but I definitely understand why people don't like it at all. I was fully aware that it was a risk (well, not fully, because if I were I clearly wouldn't have sent it, but you know what I mean). Oh well - I don't think that I scaled back on the risk factor with my revised EP. :D

Are you going to do first impressions posts, btw? I've always enjoyed them in past roulettes when the host did that for an EP round. No stress of course. :)

Yea, I probably will. It will just be tidbits based on the EP as a whole I think. No idea when though  :lol

Tidbits on the whole EP? I'll take it. Those might be very decisive though, don't make them too revealing because there would only be 4 of them.

And Ars Moriendi? I love it, but I can easily see how others wouldn't.

I've never sent it before but I remember Elite recommended me to start out with The Void for Beardfish and this was my absolute favourite song on that album, so there. Also, not to brag or anything, but the transition from the first song into this one is ~perfect~

I checked out all y'all's EP's (Scorpion's twice and the others once so far), cool stuff dudes! I especially like Suicide By Star as an EP closer a lot, good choice there.

Voluntary Slavery is the true MVP of the round though, it will quite easily score the most points.

train's ep:
this godspeed you black astronaut song is better than i remember them being
nice trainsition into voluntary memery
it's an ok song, maybe my 6.5 or whatever was a touch low but i wouldn't rate it much higher than like, 7 or 7.25
i really do not like the vocals on this avatar song. musically it's alright. has like a slight circusy thing going on but only just barely. you'd probably have gotten cut if you sent this to me in my roulette
that trainsition was a bit abrupt tbh
this is a lot better than the last song. i might revisit it at least one time. the black peaks one, i mean, that one
uhh i think this is the hacride song now but there was like literally no tranisition & if not for the audio quality changing i wouldn't even have noticed
hacride always feel kinda difficult to get into and this one doesn't have the stuff that i liked about lazarus but it's ok. like i said i'll prob get around to this album eventually, maybe
this is a looot different from the novembre i'm familiar with. i like it, i guess
oh okay i guess that fadeout is where the songs change. i hope it's not like that on the album because it's pretty sloppy lol
this is a pretty solid outro. except it feels more like an opening track tbh. i could see it building up to something but no, this is the end

honestly i think you went a little overboard on the crossfades & i'd have preferred if each of the songs had more room to breathe but it's a pretty cohesive ep for sure. i might relisten to it.
Title: Re: Twosuitsluke's First Ever Roulette v. Hangman Junkies!

scorp's ep:
this is the best song off the schizoid lloyd album and i'll gladly relisten to it. sorry luke, if you like this one, the rest of the album isn't that great
wow, sexy transition
this is like #3 on the album imo behind the opener and closer suite but it's still pretty great
that maudlin song... exists, i dunno. i know too many of the songs on this EP already tbh
like this ezpz one. this album was alright. the non-metal stuff tended to be better than the metal stuff though. this was prob the worst song i sent to train, or close to it. but it's still pretty great. also you cheater you included like 15 seconds of the next track.
that last transition is just kinda rough but that's a hard ending to transition out of so i'll accept it
this sgm song is a lot better than the one i was sent. mostly because it has, like, melodies and emotion and stuff, wow. also that's... weird as an ending song, it kind of anticlimaxes
Title: Re: Twosuitsluke's First Ever Roulette v. Hangman Junkies!
Post by: Train of Naught on February 21, 2017, 01:27:37 AM
This godspeed you! black astronaut album is quite a bit heavier/darker than the others, you might like it. It's actually becoming my favourite GIAA album, the title-track especially is amazing.

Yeah, the Black Peaks>Hacride transition was kind of an impulse decision, I noticed how the former ends very abruptly and the latter starts very abruptly so I figured what the hell let's try this shit :lol I would have really liked it if not for the awful quality drop cause it's almost seemless.

The Novembre tracks are not followed by each other on the album, Onirica is #7 and Outro is #10. I don't like how Onirica ends on a fade-out either, especially because it ends on such a high. So I decided to add Outro to it, which I love as an outro, kinda gives me a great gig in the sky feeling. Their catalogue is quite varied, and this album is mostly classic deathmetal with some prog elements

Oh and don't worry, I wouldn't send you the Avatar song in a million years :P

As for your EP's:

Parama, already know pretty much everything on here. I really want to listen to that Antlers album, that song is solid but I'm not sure  like it enough to justify its duration. Djakninn is epic of course, great closer too. I personally think there's a lot of better Thrice songs to pick from, but I guess this one does fit into the EP pretty nicely. Bird of Sorrow is not nearly as good as I remember from when I heard it, and the Eight Bells is a fine opener, great catchy chord progression on this one.

Scorpion, pretty similarly, I already know a fair portion of the songs here. I still really like Suicide Penguin, in my head it was way shorter though, like 4-5 minutes. :lol  Unfed Pendulum is still great, I like how it doesn't go overboard on the craziness but is still very out there. I heard the motW song here for the first time and it's my favourite on the EP, really cool stuff and will look into them more. EAPZ song is still fine but I don't like it too much. Opposite to Parama, I think their metal/math core side is superior to their more melodic side. Not a big fan of the SGM song and kinda feel like it's not worth 9 minutes, but it at least shows some middle ground, as I know SGM can be crazy as fuck and really offputting, but this one is alright on that aspect.

Home (made this EP on Spotify myself so don't have any official transitions), I literally know 5 out of 7 tracks by heart here and have heard the first track before. :lol I like the use of GIAA, especially Suicide By Star which is a better closer than I would've thought. I would personally have ordered the songs differently though, Compendium being #6 and Voluntary Slavery either #5 or not on the EP at all (don't know, I kinda feel like these two tracks don't fit in the EP as well but they're still awesome songs). The Solstafir song is pretty chill and is a good fit, still gotta check out that album some time. I have nothing against Sleep Party People but never really got into that album that much, it's good relaxing music though. Reminder to check out We Made God too, I really like II but never heard any other songs.

Sorry there's no structure in these write-ups at all, just wanted to throw out some thoughts
Title: Re: Twosuitsluke's First Ever Roulette v. Hangman Junkies!
Post by: Scorpion on February 21, 2017, 01:29:57 AM
Honestly, I share most of your opinions. We'll have to agree to disagree on The Ferryman, because that's a beast of a song, but EAPZ was a last minute substitution because the song that I had initially planned in that slot had already been sent in this roulette and I suck at reading, and I like it, but that transition is my least favourite.

Salt Crown being less crazy than some of the preceding stuff and closing the EP on a "calmer" note was intended and I think it works pretty well - like at the beginning you have all this instrumental craziness, and then at the end it feels a little burnt out and is just unfocused anger (especially on Seeds) before just breaking down on Salt Crown.

Also, I have heard no other Schizoid Lloyd song - I only remembered this one from when Elite sent it to me - no comment on whether this is the best song on the album or not.

Title: Re: Twosuitsluke's First Ever Roulette v. Hangman Junkies!
Post by: Crow on February 21, 2017, 01:30:53 AM
screw you wake is perfect  :tup

though having the context of the album does help it a fair bit. especially having two shortly before it and epilogue right after it, aaggh

also bird of sorrow is still great so bleh to you

edit: scorp to be fair one listen of a song generally isn't enough for me to judge and it's not like the ferryman was bad or anything, just felt very there

also citizen herd off the schizoid lloyd album would be great if not for its absolutely abysmal instrumental break tbh, the rest is just... kinda forgettable, as in, i forget what most of it sounds like lol

I'm at work tonight so I can probably make a start with write ups. Still not sure on which EP is my fave, we'll see how the write ups take shape. There are 24 of them to do though so I'll try to do them all justice.

This has been a great experience but it has taken up more time than I thought. Damn you all and your great musical tastes :getoffmylawn:

Ok, I'll do my best, watch this space. Life is still kicking my ass though. My Dad's wedding was yesterday, I have a review meeting for my current job role and a interview for a new job next Tuesday to prepare for. Plus I'm going up north Thursday to spend a few days with family. I'll do write ups where I can though  :biggrin:

Wouldn't you know it, today has been a bitch of a day.  I have two job interviews (tomorrow and Tuesday) and I've had car troubles today. I've got to try and get it seen asap and prep some more for my interviews. I wanted to do a final listen today, score all the songs and then do a write up (and score) based on the flow of the EP. Unfortunately that's not gonna happen today. I'm hoping for some time Tuesday afternoon.

Once again, thanks for your patience guys and I'll try to get this up when life cuts me some slack.

Post by: twosuitsluke on March 07, 2017, 12:46:40 PM
So bringing up the rear is the man himself,

The Sergeant of the Parama Corps



Parama: EP Title: The Pause Between Words

Eight Bells - Hating

This song is probably my least favourite here. It has a slow, doomy feeling to it but I honestly don't find it that interesting. It sounds almost like a Ghost song sung by a female. I could imagine Papa Emeritus singing on this. I find it a strange choice as a opener but you obviously like it. It probably could of ended a good minute or so earlier as well. Not terrible but just doesn't do much for me.

Score: 6.5/10


Thrice - Words in the Water

I've tried Thrice a few times over the years. This is definitely one of the best songs I've heard by them and my favourite track on the EP. The vocals are just the sort I like and they blend emotion, grit and sincerity. This is another great example of the sort of song I like to sing my heart out to. This is quite a simple song really and it is really the vocal that wins this over for me. The chorus is just great and it burrows deep in my brain and massages that part only music can. Great choice of song honestly dude. You've had much better luck sending me this style of song than you have with any kind of metal to be honest. I'm really going to check out more by these guys.

Score: 8.5/10


Glen Hansard - Bird of Sorrow

This song, ha. I've heard so many of you bang on about this as it has obviously become one of those roulette songs that does the rounds. Turns out I already knew it as my Dad has this on CD and lent it to me ages ago. This is ok, I honestly don't get the extreme love it gets. It reminds me of David Gray to start with (which doesn't surprise me as my Dad loves David Gray). It's not really my sort of thing although it's quite a nice listen. I do love songs where you can really hear the passion and it's sung in a way that makes it sound like it was just done on the first take. When he is singing/screeching "I'm not leaving." it gets you right in the feels but ultimately, other than sounding quite nice (and full of real emotion) I don't really connect with it. That's just unfortunate for you really dude as it seems most people love it. I'm just not one of them. That being said it is powerful.   

Score: 7.5/10


The Antlers - Wake

Another (of many) band that I'm aware of. This is nice and really soothing. I don't have much to say about this really. It drifts along until the 6 minute mark where this song finally starts to take flight and soar. I like the last few minutes of this but it feels like it takes way too long to get there. I would put it on when chilling with my girlfriend but it is not really the sort of thing I could see myself ever craving to listen to.

Score: 6.5/10


Solstafir - Djakninn

So finally we get to Solstafir. I first read about these guys in Metal Hammer magazine about 2 years ago. I thought they sounded really different and interesting, I still do. I was looking forward to hearing them (and luckily got them twice in this round). I love the echoey guitar  intro, it just sets this up really well. I like songs sung in a foreign language, I like they way different languages can change how a song feels and how words sound. The use of words and accent make it feel so much more unique. I think you said that this is just like one long jam session, which it kind of is. It has a bit of a blues or country feel in parts and feels quite organic. I'm not sure how representative this is of their overall sound but I am intrigued to find out. It is a good choice to round off this EP but not quite enough to save it.

Score: 8/10


Average Score: 14.75/20

Flow: 2.5/5

Total Score: 17.25/25

Grand Roulette Total: 85.5



Unfortunately dude you were out first. Your EP felt, to me at least, to me the most inconsistent of the EPs and the overall flow wasn't as good as the others. The Thrice song was the highlight and possibly the best song of the whole EP round. I'm sure you had a theme to this round but honestly this felt like a collection of songs that weren't really complimenting or flowing with each other. Some great songs but your low 'flow' score did let you down a bit. Two of the other guys sent their EP as one file with edits and fades. I don't think that approach would've saved the 'flow' score for this EP though. Thanks for being a great participant and giving me plenty of new shit to check out. It was a close run thing in the end (as you will see) so don't feel too bad.

Stand down soldier...

Interesting that the best song of the EP round is an 8.5.

While I'd probably give you more points on Wake and Bird of Sorrow, Paramang, I'd have to agree with Luke that the flow of your EP was where it was the weakest. I feel that Hating wasn't that good of an intro track and the EP suffered from it quite a bit. That said, I still dug your EP a lot, and it finally made me get around to checking out Solstafir. :tup

Yea, there is another song that is close for 'best song of the round'. The Thrice song feels like it has more staying power though, I can see myself tiring of the other song sooner. There are no 9/10 (or higher) songs but that's fine as there are some fine flowing EPs. That means the highest scoring song of the roulette was Dear Dead Days by Frost*, with 9.5. I didn't get a 10/10 song, I'll have to run another roulette  :lol

In third place the participant who was probably the most consistent throughout this thing:

The homeboy

home: EP Title: Stick Your Head Out and Slowly Drift Away


We Made God - II

This is pretty cool as an opener. I like stuff like this, with the spoken word sample over the top. What this guy is spouting (who is he by the way?) is really appealing to me and lines up with my view on life and the modern age we live in as well, so that's cool. There are some vocals at the beginning but I don't really pay much attention to this part. My ear is concentrating on what is being said throughout most of this but the music accompanies it really well. It is just a great way to kick this off, good choice.

Score: 7.5/10


Solstafir - Midaftann

The transition into this song works pretty well. This song isn't as strong as the other Solstafir song in this round, for me. There is a nice atmosphere that runs through this and it is more piano heavy than I had thought it would be. It fits in well with the feel of the EP but isn't too great as a stand alone song for me. I expect that it fits the same purpose on the album it's from though to be fair.

Score: 7/10


Sleep Party People - Changing in Time

I've never heard of these guys but this is pretty cool. Most of this song floats along nicely, the music all fits the vocals well but the best part of the song is the synth (I think) bit which hits a chord for me and just sounds really nice. The song ends just after this though so it may be a little short lived. It's nice and chilled an succeeds in taking the EP in a slightly different direction whilst still fitting in well.

Score: 7.5/10


God is an Astronaut - Fireflies and Empty Skies

Another GiaA song, they are either too large a gap in my library to miss or they are easy to make use of in an EP round (I'm going with the latter). The guitar melodies in this are lush and it flows really well with the rest of the EP to this point. There are some more meaty guitar parts towards the end, which sound great but they fade out to lead into the next song. I'd love to hear what comes next on that album.

Score: 7.5/10


Elder - Compendium

Now you get to the heavier section of this album. I've heard these guys mentioned before and I knew they were of the sludge metal persuasion. Musically this sounds like a lot of similar bands that I've heard, which is fine, I suppose this genre breeds that. The vocals have a 'Brent from Mastodon' feel and I know you are a fan so I get this. It's all solid but not a great deal more. I think it's hard when you listen to music of this style to really find something that stands out above the rest. I think it all boils down to thick, heavy riffs. I need some great riffs for this to REALLY work, but it's lacking for me. I love this sound and the riffs aren't bad, it's just not much more than solid. It's a little on the long side too. Not a terrible choice but I think it ultimately effected your EP more than any other song. You should check out Barn Burner as they are fairly similar but a bit more like 'party sludge' (if that's even a thing?).

Score: 7/10


Beardfish - Voluntary Slavery

This song :) it's weird to have this featured in two EPs. I love the pounding drums and heavy guitars. I've heard of these guys before but I expected them to sound a bit more classic prog for some reason. The vocals remind me of another band which I can't place. They bring a good slab of metal to this EP which blends a bit of sludge in for good measure. The riffing is great and the drums feel really huge and are off kilter enough to make it interesting. The reoccurring vocal part obviously sticks in your head, especially as it's the title of Train's EP! I can definitely understand why you have chosen this for my EP, I really dig it. The vocals throughout this really work for me, It's pretty infectious to be honest. The climax makes me want to pound my chest in the manliest of ways. It is a close second for song of the round but as I said yesterday, I think I prefer Words in the Water by Thrice slightly more.

Score: 8.5/10


God is an Astronaut - Suicide by Star

This is a great end to this EP which combines the similar feel and atmosphere to the first half of the EP whilst still being fairly heavy. It's a pretty nice little outro which is exactly the sort of musical glue that holds EPs like this together. I like when the intense drumming comes in at the end (that's a drum machine though right?). Not a lot more to say, just a great way to round this thing off.

Score: 7/10


Average Score: 14.75/20

Flow: 4/5

Total Score: 18.75/25




Grand Roulette Total: 87



Honestly, this EP had a great flow and was actually a better EP than the one that won 2nd place. As I said at the beginning of this post I think you have been the most consistent throughout this whole thing. You've also provided me with plenty of good new stuff to delve into. I seriously can't thank you guys enough for sticking with this thing and finding some real gems for me.

So to the EP, I really like the intro and if I ever get to doing one of these things this would be how I'd like to start mine. The way your EP is structured it has a few songs that hold it together and help massively with the flow, that can be said of Midaftann and both GiaA songs. It feels to me as though the main 'feature' of the EP is the two back to back heavier songs, which are more songs in their own right compared to the other songs on the EP. I honestly like both but I feel Compendium is a little long. If you had maybe picked another song that did what Voluntary Memery (I liked that one Parama :neverusethis:) did for me then your outcome could've been different. I feel that Compendium was kind of what lets this down. It's honestly still a great EP and definitely better than what I could come up with. Compendium probably felt like quite a safe bet as it should be something that I love but it just didn't quite do it. The outro is also a great way to end it all.

One last thing, did you and Train actually talk at some point about wanting to send that Beardfish song or was it complete coincidence? Either way, it's good stuff  :metal

Good luck Scorpion, may the odds be ever in your favour

I actually have no idea about that drum machine comment on Suicide By Star. I know this was one of their first albums and it got remastered in 2011 so maybe back then they didn't have a drummer? More recent albums 100% sure have though, I might relisten to AIV,AIB cause I never heard/noticed anything odd about the drums

Same to you Train :metal But since we already know that you have one 8.5 in there and I definitely don't, I'm guessing that I'm the guy with the EP that Luke liked a little less than home's and you're the winner.

Would love to be proven wrong though. :P

Sleep Party People got a way better score than I expected btw, I considered sending one of their songs in the orchestral round but didn't expect you to like it too much (and I didn't want to screw up my score just before the EP round)

Yuup pure coincidence  :lol I'm not entirely sure about the drums either, I always thought that double bass at the end are just normal drums but kind of muffled (like they did live I think), but I wouldn't be surprised if they used loops. I think they didn't had a drummer when they started out

I'll probably post the #2 EP between 8:00-9:00pm UK time (if I can) then the #1 around midnight. You guys want a bit of a gap between them or simultaneous post?

Given the format you could post them around the same time if you can, but keep the EP's in separate posts :tup

Coming in at a respectable second, everyone's favourite,

Deathcore Lobster

Scorpion: EP Title: Collection of Craziness



Schizoid Lloyd - Suicide Penguin

I suppose you could say that this is kind of what I have expect from you Scorp. This feels like another good genre mash up that still holds together well as a song. There is lots going on here but it doesn't fall into that trap of just sounding weird for the sake of it, or to get a reaction. At least that's how it feels to me. It starts off your 'collection of craziness' with a bang but it doesn't quite scratch that itch. I do like the 'Hallelujah's' though.

Score: 7/10


Unexpect - Unfed Pendulum

This fits perfectly into the same box as the previous song. This has a bit that is SO familiar to me that it is infuriating. I just can't quite place it and it's not there long enough for me to pin it down. I would say that although this is equally as erratic as the first tune this is preferable for me. The risk with this sort of song is that although there are lots of parts that I like, and there are a lot, it is so all over the place that it takes me a lot longer to fully get my head around it. That's fine but you may find that in a months time I may rate this higher than I do right now. These first two songs are really cut from the same cloth and it wouldn't have surprised me to learn that they were by the same band, had I not known.

Score: 7.5/10


maudlin of the Well - The Ferryman

I feel this is the weak link in your EP dude. I quite like the organ intro and there are songs which feature organ like this that I love. However, after this we just get these sparse drum sounds which honestly go on too long. After the first two songs this feels really out of place. I like the feel once we get the guitars coming in. There are some nice guitar tones and melodies in this little bit before the insanity creeps back in. I like the vocals at points but it's all a little lacking for me. I really feel I need to hear this in the context of the album it's taken from. The bit at the end with the sounds of dripping water just seem to be there and again doesn't really fit with the rest of the EP for me. It kind of spoils it. I suppose you could say that this is supposed to be like a palate cleanser between the 'craziness' but if that is how it's intended it doesn't quite work for me.

Score: 6/10


Exotic Animal Petting Zoo - Seeds

This is a more metalcore approach to the 'craziness' than the other tunes. I think there is more that I dislike with this song than the first two. I do like the parts with the clean vocals a fair bit. The guitar is once again where my ear is drawn and this song for the most part doesn't disappoint here. On last listen something about this reminded me of Cynic as well  :huh: This unfortunately doesn't do much for me though.

Score: 7/10


Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Salt Crown

This gives off a little bit of a Leprous vibe at the start and spends quite a time building before it lets loose the 'crazy'. Well this one isn't actually that crazy. It's not bad and there isn't anything that I really dislike. It has some great audible bass that rumbles along. I'm not sure it works so well for me as a climax to this EP. There are some guitar parts in here that remind me of some classic 'Yes' but it sounds strange in a song that is nothing like 'Yes'.

Score: 7/10


Average Score: 13.75/20

Flow: 3/5

Total Score: 16.75/25 



Grand Roulette Total: 87.5


I did enjoy your EP Scorpion and it was, for the most part, cohesive. I feel that there were two things that let it down. One was that middle song. It felt really out of place and seems like a really weird choice, the end of the song especially. I don't mind the fact that it is a different style, musically, to the rest of the EP but when the other 4 songs are very similar it really makes it stand out. The other problem is that the style of songs that you chose are quite hectic and take a while to 'get', or they did to me at least. I am tempted to listen to some of the albums just to hear the sort of albums they create. For the most part your EP has a good flow and feel to it, it's just a very full on approach to it. I feel like I only ended up scratching the surface with some of these songs. You guys have only shown me that creating an EP in no mean feat and I applaud you all. Cheers for all the good music you have sent me throughout this Scorp, I know quite a lot of your songs will end up on my 'best  of' playlist.

So anyway, we all know who the winner is now  :biggrin: I'll post results within the next few hours  :tup

I guess so, it's not the first time he invited her on stage in The Netherlands, but I don't think she'll be coming to the UK for three songs. But who knows, maybeshewill

Post by: twosuitsluke on March 11, 2017, 01:32:38 AM
So serious congratulations to our man, the number one (for today at least),

Train of Pain

Train of Naught: EP Title: They're Dropping Bombs in the Schoolyard, Mom




God is an Astronaut - Vetus Memoria

A really nice atmospheric intro to start with. I love the use of piano and all the instrumentation gels together well. It's kind of straight forward but sets the tone for the EP. The piano is certainly the highlight. It also builds to a heavier ending before drifting off, this leads into the next song really well.

Score: 7/10


Beardfish - Voluntary Slavery

So some of this is just copy and pasted from home's write up  :lol 'This song :) it's weird to have this featured in two EPs. I love the pounding drums and heavy guitars. I've heard of these guys before but I expected them to sound a bit more classic prog for some reason. The vocals remind me of another band which I can't place. They bring a good slab of metal to this EP which blends a bit of sludge in for good measure. The riffing is great and the drums feel really huge and are off kilter enough to make it interesting. The reoccuring vocal part obviously sticks in your head, especially as it is also the title of your EP. I can definitely understand why you have chosen this for my EP, I really dig it. The vocals throughout this really work for me, It's pretty infectious to be honest. The climax makes me want to pound my chest in the manliest of ways.' So yeah, I think this song worked in both EPs but it fits slightly better in yours I'd say and the transition into this is great.

Score: 8.5/10


Avatar - The Eagle Has Landed

This starts with the heavy riffage that is commonplace up to this point (with this EP). The vocals are quite a weird and hard to make my mind up on. It has that kind of novelty feel to it and the vocal melodies bounce along. Musically it is pretty cool but the rest is a bit of a turn off. It sticks in your head but not necessarily for the right reasons. It's all fine and dandy and works ok with the EP. It's Traincore I guess and kinda similar to some other stuff that you have sent me throughout this roulette.

Score: 7/10


Black Peaks - Set in Stone

Never heard of these guys before. I'll admit that I sometimes forget this song is even here, until I hear it again. I love the powerful screams in this song, that is a high point and this also keeps with the trend you have built here. It's not the greatest song it has enough that I like about it. The transition into the next song is as seamless as it gets. Really cool stuff here.

Score: 7.5/10


Hacride - Strive Ever to More

Another heavy song that slides perfectly into this EP. It is kind of nice but a bit forgettable for me. I like the keys that are going on in the background, behind the main meat and potatoes of the song, at certain points. This style of harsh vocal falls into the hardcore style (like Hatebreed or something) at times and they are ok, but nothing particularly special in my book. The cleans are more to my tastes. The chorus is good enough to scream out I suppose. I've seen you and Parama discuss these guys a bit but this hasn't really been enough to make me want to check these guys out any further.

Score: 7.5/10


Novembre - Onirica East

This end is like the extended outro which brings you down after the all out intensity of the EP thus far (whilst still being pretty intense itself). I do actually have an album by these guys (I think it's their debut). This has black metal style vocals (which is a bit risky), as you had mentioned but luckily the music isn't straight up BM. There is some real nice audible bass in this song which rumbles nicely. It does break into more all out black metal, especially with the drumming. This is ok and works well in the context of the EP but I don't find it really that great as it's own song. 

Score: 7/10


Novembre - Outro - Spirit of the Forest (Tales...Reprise)

This ending is quite nice and serves the same purpose as the intro track I guess, but I like the intro track more. The last minute and a half is the best and I like that guitar sound. Nice round off to the EP.

Score: 6.5/10


Average Score: 14.5/20

Flow: 4/5

Total Score: 18.5/25



Grand Roulette Total: 90


So there we have it. I really liked your EP dude but I think it started a lot stronger than it ended. It peaks by the second song and dips a little with the Avatar song before coming back up a little with Black Peaks. Hacride left me a little cold and the last two weren't my faves but it won you this thing in the end. This EP definitely has a good flow though and it was definitely part of why you ultimately won. I think home's EP actually had the highest score for the round but this was only by like 0.25. Thanks again for participating Train, you have sent me some really great stuff and I have plenty to check out. If I remember rightly you didn't have the best start to this roulette (although you were  still pretty solid) but you brought it home towards the end  :tup

I'm interested to see who has the most songs featured on my 'best of roulette' playlist. I might even knock it up later today. I know you have sent me plenty of good shit Train and I know that everyone will have at least one song.

This whole thing has taken longer then I though it would but I'm glad I actually stuck with it. Thanks again to everyone who joined in and played along with my bullshit themed rounds (like the sing-along and wrestler entrance  :lol). I'd like to think that one day I might try another one of these but it won't be for at least a year.

Man those scores are not amazing :lol I thought Novembre would've done better, but hey if it's enough to grant me the win I am cool with it!

The post-metal Hacride might appeal to you more than the more alternative/metalcore side (which is what I sent you). The album "Lazarus" is probably their best and becoming my favourite slowly but surely.

From my roulette entries (don't remember them all off the top of my head) I think the albums you'll like the most are the new Twelve Foot Ninja one (though I personally like Silent Machine more) and Moron Police's "Defenders of the Small Yard, but it's your journey from here on

Cheers dude. I've already checked out that Moron Police album, it was ok. Not gotten around to any 12ft Ninja yet.

I've just counted up the songs for the 'best of playlist', the tally for how many songs you all have is as follows:

home: II
Scar: II
Scorpion: III
Sacul: I
Parama: IIII
WebRaider: I
Tomislav95: II
Splent: I
Train of Naught: III
Elite: I

Parama, you actually had the highest hit rate of songs I loved and none of them were metal songs. I think we can both agree what we look for in a metal song does not line up. If I ever host another my bet would be on you to win, if you've learnt anything from this  :lol

i feel better now since my EP had 2 of the best three songs in the round haha  :lol

joke's on you, i'm basically run dry on the non-metal stuff now
like that's why you got eight bells on the ep, because i had nothing left  :lol

oh and on the subject of hacride.
that album is a lot more metalcore-y than the two albums before it & i definitely haven't preferred it to their earlier stuff. i got lazarus and have been spinning it and it's /kind of awesome/ and i'd recommend checking out act of god or awakening if you want a better idea of how they sound when they're /really/ on
