Hi everyone and welcome to my roulette! I know I said I won't be running a roulette until February or so and I didn't even expect it too be my turn so soon but it looks like it is. After careful and long calculations (5 minutes) I’ve decided there is enough free time in my life right now to do this. I'll try to make waiting as short as possible and do hangmen/blurrypics every round. There will be shorter periods of time when I won't be so active due to exams or whatever, I'll notify you in advance, don't worry.
Let's start with some informations about roulette, shall we!
Roulette Format
Format of the roulette depends on the number of contestants. I’d like to have 8 players and do sort of combination of rating and ranking scoring. If there are more people interested we’ll have classic format with 1-10 rating, 0.5 point increments. If there are more than 12 people we'll have a preliminary round. More later.
We'll have good old 1-10 ratings, 0.5 points increments.There will be 9 rounds in total: after 8th round all but 4 best participants will be eliminated. 9th round is the EP round. More later.
No themed rounds. Why? I used to like them but lately I feel it limits player. It's best if you can send all the songs you want and not have to think if any of them fits the theme.
Participants:
1. Elite
2. Scorpion
3. home
4. twosuitsluke
5. Fluffy Lothario
6. Luoto
7. Train of Naught
8. Parama
9. Evermind
10. Sacul
11. Scar
12. Shadow Ninja 2.0
Rules
- Send me songs any way you like: Spotify (add me, I’m tomislav95 there as well), Youtube links, files etc.
- Live versions allowed.
- I’m not the biggest fan of super longs songs so every one of you is allowed to send just one song longer than 12 minutes (but you don’t have to).
- There are no bonus points (but there are some other bonuses, scroll down).
- Every sent band is banned in future rounds.
- Please, if you sign up for roulette don’t quit or take infinite time to send. Thanks :)
EP rules:
- EP have to be between 25 and 40 minutes long (I could allow a few seconds over 40 minutes)
- Minimum 3 different artists; I think this is reasonable, I don't want to get one band EP :P
- EP round is worth 30 points total: 5 for flow and 25 for the songs
- Every song is scored out of 10 as usual, average score is scaled up to 25 points
- I don't care if transitions aren't smooth, flow points are more about how good those songs sound next to each other
- The most important thing: make it good :P
Bonuses
New thing in this roulette are bonuses. Different bonuses than in the other roulettes but still bonuses. Sender of the best songs in every round (first 7 rounds) gets to choose one bonus (out of seven). After bonus is chosen, others can’t get it anymore. Bonuses are goodies that can help you in future rounds and can be used only once. For example, if you send best scored song in R1 you can choose whatever you want and use it whenever, if ever.
Bonus point - pretty straightforward, it may not seem like much but this one point could decide on who's winning
- used immediately after it's chosen (it really doesn't make any difference)
I choose you!- There will be a themed round after all! Whatever you pick, use it as your advantage.
- can be used before any round 2-8
Extra long :zydar: - you get one more 12+ minutes song
- can be used in rounds 2-8 or for a 5 minutes longer EP
Make up your mind![/u] - chance to resubmit your song
- You have to announce it when sending and I'll give you extended first impression on your song. It's up to you will you resumbit it after that. Bonus is still used even if you don't. Can be used in rounds 2-8.
Take this list - I'll make you a list of 10 songs that would get a perfect score
- can be used before any round
Take this list (genre edition) - give me one genre and I'll send you list one my favorite songs (I'll try :lol)
- can be used before any round
One-two punch - You can send two songs but I'd recommend you to send songs that go well together because I'll rate them as one and consider them one song
- can be used in rounds 2-8
Tastes
I'd say my music taste is pretty broad, from indie folk to jazz to black metal. I'll list some of my favorites genres with examples of what I love:
Prog: obviously. Both metal (DT, Seventh Wonder, Fates Warning) and rock (Rush, Riverside, Porcupine Tree). I enjoy classic progressive rock (Genesis, Camel, King Crimson) as well but I don't feel like listening to it lately. Also, wacky instrumentals aren’t really my thing anymore, keep that in mind.
Indie: lately my favorite genre. Why is it? I can't really explain it, probably because it's very emotional music and love when music give me feels :D Bands include Brand New, The Antlers, Modest Mouse, Bon Iver.
Doom/Stoner metal: yep, I like this very much. However, I usually enjoy it in smaller doses and only when I’m in mood for it. Examples: Red Fang, Mastodon, Stoned Jesus, Paradise Lost
Power Metal: can be hit or miss. I like Sonata Arctica, Avantasia and that sort of stuff. But there are bands similar to those I can’t stand so I don’t know. Just don't make it too cheesy.
Extreme metal: also can be hit or miss with me. I consider atmospheric black metal to be the most beautiful music (Agalloch, Gallowbraid) but it can be bland and generic. Old school BM is ok, never got into 2nd wave. Death metal isn’t my thing anymore. There are few band I still love (Death, Hypocrisy), can't stand technical DM I used to like when I was younger. I also used to love thrash metal, heard enough of it and I’m not looking for more if it isn’t especially awesome.
Traditional rock/hard rock/heavy metal: it’s ok but can sound generic, not something I like that much anymore. Examples: Iron Maiden, Alter Bridge, Iced Earth.
Others: I quite like atmospheric stuff like trip-hop but it can be bland sometimes. You’ll also see some jazz artist on my banned list. Lately, I rarely listen to it but when I do, I enjoy it very much.
TL;DR you’re doomed, there isn’t anything I like :D

I know some of you put artist on banned list only if you know them very well. Well, my list is extended because I don't want to receive artist I know I'll explore further. For example, I heard of Bodies of Water just few weeks ago and after listening to A Certain Feeling a few times, I'm pretty sure I will check their others albums out. If only one album is banned, it means I heard it a few times but I'm still not sure will I listen to anything else from the same artist anytime soon. Also, I often check songs you send in other roulettes so don't be surprised if your classic submission gets rejected :D
(my favorite bands are colored green, others I like very much are orange)

Of course!

I'd like to join! :azn:
-
I'm quite tempted to join. I think I could do well on the stoner/doom metal front but I would suck on the Indie front.
I'm also aware that I'm lagging on my own roulette and I want to pick up the pace.
Hmmmmmmm, I also want to actually do well at least one roulette.........ever.

You're in :P
There is also ton of other stuff to send, you never know what will someone like.
-
Yea, go on then. I'm gonna concentrate on roulette stuff tonight when I get home so I will make a playlist of stuff I can send you to while I'm at it.
-
There's a chance I could run out of stuff you're likely to like and have to resort to sending Fluffycore swill, but I might not, so I'll join.
-
Yeah, I'll join
-
I hope that - after all the extensive plug.dj sessions - I still have any music at all that you haven't heard :D
But yes im in this
-
i should have a reserved spot tbh
-
i should have a reserved spot tbh
You have it but you still need to say you're joining :P
It looks like 8 spots are already filled and I know few more people will join so I'll do good old 1-10 rating system, nothing fancy.
-
i am the one who ins
-
Wins?
-
Hey hey hey
I didn't read anything as I just got home but I'm in if there are still free spots. I've mostly blown all my potential bands in that plug.dj room though.
-
You're in.
There was supposed to be different scoring system but I also want more than 8 people so that's off.
-
Is there still space for me? I have some stuff you may dig :P
-
Is there still space for me? I have some stuff you may dig :P
There is :) I still haven't checked list from rym you sent me so there's some music you could send :tup
-
I'll prob sent you lots of trip-hop so yay
-
I'll prob sent you lots of trip-hop so yay
As everything else it can pretty much be hit or miss for me. For example, I don't like Portishead that much :/
-
Any more room? :(
-
Any more room? :(
Yep. I won't turn down anyone but we'll have to do elimination round if there are too many participants. I hate to do it but fuck :( I'll raise number of players to 12 now.
-
Sent via Spotify :hat
-
Hey if you need one more I'll drop in. I've got some shit I mean music I can send.
-
Sent via Spotify :hat
I didn't expect anyone will send already because there are some additional informations but nothing connected with first entry so you're good :tup
Hey if you need one more I'll drop in. I've got some shit I mean music I can send.
You've been expected :biggrin:
EDIT: So yeah, I'll post bonuses later but you'll need them after first rounds (probably not even then), not now. You can start sending whenever. I'll leave registrations open until it's about 24 hours since starting this thread so everyone who wants to join have quite some time. New participant(s) there will be preliminary elimination round.
-
just go look up bull of heaven that's my round 1 entry their entire discography
-
Ok, so I have knocked up a Tomislav Roulette Playlist. We're looking at a playlist of 2359 songs by bands that I think you might like so I think I'll be fine.
What is your view on Melo-death by the way?
Can we send or do we need to hold off for any reason? Planning to send something that I consider to be a big gap in your banned list (although I'm fully expecting to have to resend as I think they may not be on your banned list as you dislike them). Either way, it features possibly the best outro of any song ever!!

You can send, home already did.
I'm not too big on it but it's not bad. I guess that in melodeath I like death more than melodic part. Something like Hypocrisy or Carcass would probably work.
just go look up bull of heaven that's my round 1 entry their entire discography
First thing on Youtube is 12 hours long song :lol is that real?
-
Death is banned but I might send Melodic if that's actually a band
also I just sent through Sploppify
-
Yea, you have some melo-death bands in your banned list so I might take a chance later in the roulette :corn
I'll send shortly :tup
-
OP updated! I tried to explain it but you can ask if something is not clear.
Bonuses
New thing in this roulette are bonuses. Different bonuses than in the other roulettes but still bonuses. Sender of the best songs in every round (first 7 rounds) gets to choose one bonus (out of seven). After bonus is chosen, others can’t get it anymore. Bonuses are goodies that can help you in future rounds and can be used only once. For example, if you send best scored song in R1 you can choose whatever you want and use it whenever, if ever.
Bonus point - pretty straightforward, it may not seem like much but this one point could decide on who's winning
- used immediately after it's chosen (it really doesn't make any difference)
I choose you!- There will be a themed round after all! Whatever you pick, use it as your advantage.
- can be used before any round 2-8
Extra long :zydar: - you get one more 12+ minutes song
- can be used in rounds 2-8 or for a 5 minutes longer EP
Make up your mind! - chance to resubmit your song
- You have to announce it when sending and I'll give you extended first impression on your song. It's up to you will you resumbit it after that. Bonus is still used even if you don't. Can be used in rounds 2-8.
Take this list - I'll make you a list of 10 songs that would get a perfect score
- can be used before any round
Take this list (genre edition) - give me one genre and I'll send you list one my favorite songs (I'll try :lol)
- can be used before any round
One-two punch - You can send two songs but I'd recommend you to send songs that go well together because I'll rate them as one and consider them one song
- can be used in rounds 2-8
-
Sent.
Now I'm off to choose a song as a backup for when you inevitably reject this one :lol
-
Sent
-
I've got 5 songs already :tup I'll start listening tomorrow but it's still not to late to join roulette. For now, this is round 1. Anyone else joins, this is preliminary round :lol
-
Registrations are closed! We have 12 participants, 8 rounds + EP round. Send me a song as soon as possible, thanks :)
-
Sent a thing.

Actually, I heard every song only once but I did pretty big first impressions writeups (I'll post that as well with final writeups). However, you can expect results pretty soon, maybe even this weekend.

east of the wall - sorry
I hated it
10/10

Qu'ils mangent de la brioche!
Bass player is the winner of this song.
I like it when singer’s voice gets gritty.
Guitar tone sounds literally like metal.
Those subtle backing vocals add some awesomeness.
Chorus is a big improvement over verses.
I feel there’s little bit too much to grasp on first listen.
I’m not that big fan of the genre but I can see myself listening to this.
Guitar riffs are basic but tone is killer.
I can't say much about it, it's nice but nothing more.
This seemed shorter than it really is.
Strumming guitar part is pretty good.
I think this would work even better if I laid down while listening to it.
-
First one
-
Not sure which one is mine. Could be second, third (because it is metal), fifth, eighth, ninth (I hope not) and tenth.
-
Absolute Priority
-
Thank you, that's what it was ok
-
uhhh I have literally no idea which of those write-ups is mine, except that the guitar tone in my song literally sounds like metal, indeed.
By the way, 'Floods' is a pretty bad song for Pantera, even though it has a pretty amazing guitar solo.

Tbh I knew it was highly likely Tomi had heard some Pantera before, I thought I'd take a gamble and send something that was a little bit different, by Pantera standards. I could easily see it backfiring :lol I've never done well in a roulette, no reason to start now!

After couple more listens I feel this is pretty consistent round. But I can't compare it to anything since it's round 1. There probably won't be super high scores but the worst songs are pretty good, too. I don't know how rest of you do it, it's so hard to compare and score so different songs :lol

Quite frankly, I pay little attention to them. It's always an almost total guess as to which song is yours, so I don't see any point in dwelling on them.
Also, if I was to make a list of the Coldplay songs I'd send before Shiver, it'd be a long list.

So it's Meshuggah - nostrum :metardica: (Elit)
-
At last :tup

So, here it comes. Before you start looking for your song to say something about this round: as a whole it was very very strong round. I can't really compare it to anything because it's round 1 but the average score is very high. Many songs got sam score, it was too hard to decide which I liked better. And I didn't give higher scores because I don't think what will other rounds be like and I'm comfortable with this so there's that. Now, drum rolls...
Round 1 Results
twosuitsluke: Pantera - Floods
We all know Pantera, I heard some of their songs, can’t say I like any of them minus Cemetery Gates (and it's completely different than anything else I heard from them). And this is different in the other way. It’s sludgy and doomy, I didn’t expect that. Deep spoken parts are pretty metal, yeah. And while I don’t like Anselmo’s vomiting style singing, I think chorus is the best part of this song (that one line). Yeah, sadly it is, for me, not solo nor outro as you’d expect. Strumming part is pretty cool as well and part when it gets heavy again is headbangable. You’ll probably hate me for this but I don’t like the solo very much, nor Dimebag’s tone. I can’t say why, I just don’t :/ However, outro is pretty good. Maybe after you said it’s your favorite outro I expected little more. I enjoy drums in it, and drumming is one thing about Pantera I like, so you can further recommend me some of their songs with kick-ass drumming but I don’t think I’ll ever be a fan, sorry.
This is not a bad song, but when I see songs that got 0,5 point more I can’t give it the same score. And I’m sorry, I’d like to like Pantera but I just don’t see anything special in their music.
6.5/10
Elite: Meshuggah - Nostrum
I listened to Meshuggah before, their album Koloss, and I know a few songs off Obzen. I liked them but it never grabbed me enough to listen to them actively. So I rally wanted to like this. Right at the beginning, there’s Haake’s famous drumming, everything is very heavy and exactly what I’d expect from Meshuggah. However, first thing I noticed is guitar tone. I think it sounds different, and better than on older albums. I’m still not a fan of singer, I know he is supposed to sound that way, more like additional instrument than singer but I like real melodies more. Place where chugging stops is when it gets interesting. That riffs is so heavy and sounds so rich (nuggetz!) I often want to repeat it and listen it again. And then vocalist kills it a bit for me again :/ I see they do classic solos now, it works surprisingly good and not weird at all. The beginning of the solo is pretty good but second part lost me, and I rather listen to rhythm guitar underneath it, to be honest.
I quite like parts of it but as a whole I find it hard to listen to and I don’t know how would I last for whole album without getting a headache. It’s not bad at all, it’s actually pretty good but just too heavy for me or something.
7/10
Fluffy Lothario: Damien Rice - Elephant
I listened to the live version of this. After the first listen I didn’t have much to say about it. It’s pretty nice but it didn’t grab me. Fortunately, I could listen to any song how many time I want :D It did grow on me. Not very much as some of the others but it did. One problem I had with it is that I just didn't feel the emotion. It is emotional song, obviously, there’s no denying it. But not at any moment it touched me in way Katy Song or Give Up did. When comparing those three, I think Damien Rice has easily the best voice, in terms of he can do with it. And it’s very dynamic, progressing from calm and quiet in verses to passionate and loud in chorus. My favorite thing in this song is when electric guitar kicks in, it adds different dimension and at that moment also his voice gets really gritty, like blues growling.
I feel I should give it a 0,5 more but 7,5 song are just a little better. I wish I could connect with it on some level but I can’t. It’s just a very good song to me.
7/10
home: Coldplay - Shiver
Obviously, I heard of this band before because who didn’t. And I like that one, If I Could Fl… I mean Viva La Vida. I knew what to expect here and I got just that. Right from the opening, there’s classic pop-rock melodic guitar and what I like, very audible bass. I have to admit, on the first listen this was easily my least favorite song :lol I just couldn’t find anything else I like that much. Well, that changed a little. Vocal melodies are really nice, especially “…And on and on from the moment I wake, to the moment I sleep…” part. That’s really catchy melody, I often find myself singing it. Prechorus is nice, as well but then it goes downhill. I don’t like falsetto, like not at all. And it ruins chorus for me, unfortunately. Bridge saves it a little but it’s really a variation to the theme. Lyrics are cheesy love song type of thing and that’s cool but there are much better lyrics in this round.
Well, I’d like to like this band more. My friend tried to introduce them to me recently, with song I can’t remember anymore (even though I said it to you few day ago). I guess if I tried hard enough I’d like them and maybe I’ll even try. Repeated listens helped this song a little, it’s not really a catastrophe :lol but there are better songs this round.
7/10
Scar: Ascendia - Remember Me
I had no idea what to expect here, as I never heard of this band before. There’s some cool riffing right at the beginning and symphonic parts (keyboard, I think) are pretty great. I feel like it lacks some breathing room, there’s always something going on in the background. That wouldn’t be a problem if it wasn’t samey. But it’s cool. Now, on chorus. Chorus is really great, catchy, singer does an amazing job. There’s actually something about him that reminds me of Myles Kennedy but maybe it’s just me :D Solo is just what I’d expect, I’m not too crazy about it. This song would definitely get higher score if bridge was more powerful but it just pales in comparison to chorus. I don’t know if it’s album thing, maybe concept or flowing into the next track but abrupt switch to classical guitar seems weird :lol
Yep, it a pretty good song, very catchy and nice to sing along. But it lack something to lifts it up a bit and make it more special, like that outro in Fear of the Night. I think this is ok score for this song.
7.5/10
Sacul: Submotion Orchestra - Hymn for Him
There’s nice piano opening, and then more-than-nice female voice at the beginning. A formula for a great song. And atmosphere is haunting, I knew you won’t disappoint in that regard :D. Then beat kicks in and it gets groovy and trippy and chilly. It easy to immerse yourself into this warm bowl of piano, strings and some brass instrument (trumpet? I can’t say lol). Whatever it is, I like it. I’m glad there’s not just one basic beat, over and over, there are definitely variations. And singer is back, she’s got a very sexy voice, if I may say. I don’t even know what’s she singing about but it’s pleasant to listen to, I feel I could listen to it the whole day. I wish trumpet played more than those few notes though.
This song is hard to describe and comment on, as I’m the new fan of the genre and not as big fan as you are but I can see myself listening to it, I like it very much. I expected it to grow on me a little with further listens but it’s just what I heard the first time. I have no bad things to say about it but there are definitely better songs here.
7.5/10
Train of Naught: Elder - Gemini
Guitar tone at the beginning sounds literally like metal. Not metal music but like someone is grinding a piece of metal :D After that there’s a change to more classic vibe and some Sabbathy riffs. Their groove game is definitely on the point. Minor complaint: I miss some grittiness in singer’s voice, I’d like it if he belt something out from time to time instead of staying in comfortable range, no matter how bad it may sound. Bluesy melodic leads are very basic but I like them, it again gives classic metal vibe. And then there’s great guitar solo, with huge delay/vibrato, it reminds me of Maggot Brain (and that’s one of the best solos ever). I think I’d like song more if it was little shorter. I know it’s stupid complaint because the song is great but there are maybe too many different ideas thrown in together so I can’t remember what the beginning sounded like by the end of the song.
I hoped it’ll get half of a point or a point more until the end of this round but I just couldn’t give it more because I like 8s more. It’s a still great song and I’m looking forward to checking this album out as I feel I will love the album even more than this song alone.
7.5/10
Parama: East of the Wall - The Apologist
Before listening I had idea about how it might sound but it still surprised me a bit. Intro is really nice and warm and I expected it to sound something like it, but the rest of the song isn’t. Only growls sound like Neurosis (which I expected). However, music is nothing like it. This is more on the progressive and post-hardcore side. As you guessed, bass player is the winner of this song. I find bass lines very entertaining unlike in the most songs ever where bass is just the support. Sometimes, I just listen to bass and ignore the rest, it’s that good. Also, instrumental is technical but not too much, nothing wacky going on, fortunately. Two minor complaints are snare tone (sounds buried and too low for my taste) and ending which kinda drags, it’s probably better when there’s another song following. Not to end on negative tone, I love how dynamic this song is, ranging from quiet, almost post-rock parts to full powerful riffs.
I hoped this would grow on me even more, but it unfortunately didn’t. However, I enjoy it very much and I’ll definitely check this album out.
8/10
Evermind: Absolute Priority - Fear of the Night
Let me just say I didn’t really like this song on the first listen. I thought overall sound wasn’t really good, didn’t like keys or verses and it sounded kinda basic. Well, it really has grown on me. I liked the intro from the first listen, it’s just bass and then when other instruments kick in, it’s huge! Singer shows he’s got some range and that’s always a good thing, right. Verses also have grown on me but chorus is still an improvement and it’s probably the best chorus of the round. I just had to find lyrics so I can sing along :D Keyboard tone in the solo is kinda basic, but I don’t really mind it. BTW I’m not really a fan of lead keys. Guitar solo is something what I’d expect from prog metal band, it’s ok. As I said, I’m not the biggest fan of the keys but those underneath guitar solo are pretty great, it really lifts it up, giving it sort of symphonic vibe. Then comes the best part. Outro is pretty much chorus repeated a few times but there are multiple vocal line, crazy drumming and that crazy high note.
This was really a grower, second biggest of the round, if I remember correctly.
8/10
Luoto: Communic - Waves of Visual Decay
On the first listen, this was my favorite song. It didn’t get worse but most of the songs got better. I like build up where every instruments gets in one at the time, especially when distorted guitar kicks in. I wasn’t sure about the singer at first, he sounds kinda like Warrel Dane (Nevermore), maybe even too much at times. After few listens he got new dimension and identity in my eyes(ears), other than one thing I’ll mention later. Not only he sounds like Dane, chorus gives Nevermore vibe, I can’t deny it. And it’s super powerful chorus, prominent double bass is always plus in my book and guitar riffs are nothing short of great. There are also some subtle backing vocals which add even more awesomeness. However, the best thing about this song is guitar tone and playing. I have no knowledge to describe this tone so I’ll just say it’s chocolate cake, you know what I’m talking about :D Riffs sound technical but still they are not wacky or overly complicated, contrary, melodies are really catchy. There’s falsetto scream at the end and it sounds like Warrel Dane’s falsetto so there’s that. All in all, this song is heavy, real powerhouse and I like how there’s still some breathing room, not just heaviness 24/7.
I thought this song will grow even more on be but I feel like I heard everything I had to on the first listen, I’m really sorry I can’t give it higher score.
8/10
Scorpion: Red House Painters
I knew this will be depressing, as you said it in PM and I heard them before, just can’t remember what. And right from the beginning, combination of clean guitar and singer’s flat voice sounds really depressing. No offense to the singer, it works here and I like it. The more I listened to this, the more and more I liked vocal melodies. It’s nothing special but it sounds so good. I probably said something similar in some of the other write-ups, I like it when bass can be heard, when it dictates the heavy atmosphere like it does here. I was afraid this is going to be same thing over and over for 8 minutes. Fortunately, I was wrong. Firstly, there are guitar variations here and there. And later, there’s real change. Different vocal melody where he’s singing practically just ‘lalala’. It sounds jazzy and brighter than melodies before, maybe symbolizing hope after all that happened. I like how in this part the instrumental, even though it’s all acoustic, sound very heavy and if there were electric guitars it would probably sound heavy. In fact, drums sound heavy the way they are. This last part is repeating over and over and I don’t really mind it because guitar is playing different thing from time to time and it’s also very jazzy. Song, as it is, seemed much shorter than 8 minutes.
I was thinking about giving this even higher score but I don’t know, I like it less than the best song of the round so I don’t think I should give them same score. It is a great song, really, I’m looking forward to checking these guys out.

Shadow Ninja 2.0: Low Roar - Give Up
Before listening to it I never heard of this band but I assumed it’s going to be sad because of the title and who sent it, I know you have many of those in your library :P Right from beginning when I heard accordion, or whatever it is, I knew I’m in for treat. Combination of it and acoustic guitar reminded me of The Decemberists, maybe less folky and more sad but still. It’s very warm, I like how full it sounds given it is pretty simple song. I googled them and it seems this album was recorded only with laptop which sounds kinda cool. It was low budget project and it shows, to be honest. But this kind of production works with the music so it’s ok. Singer could sound like nothing special to some but to me, with emotion in his voice and also just timbre, he’s something else. And also, it’s important what he’s singing about, and it gave you, my friend, this extra 0,5 point and got you the winner of the round title :tup. It’s not just because it’s sad and I like sad songs but lyrics are really accurate, sound very honest and I could find myself in them, contrary to the other sad songs in this round. And those melodies, simple, yet beautiful, just how I like them. And backing vocals are haunting in the chorus.
There’s nothing bad to say about it, it’s emotional and just pleasant to listen to but also it’s really simple and it’s hard to compare it to the rest of the entires. I don’t want to give it score too high because I don’t know what will happen later in roulette. Relative score to the other songs should be fine, I think. You also won best song of the round title, congrats! You get bonus, pick whatever you want (you can do it here as everyone will know what you picked anyway).

Without a song to sing

The song I sent had quite a high potential of getting about a 7 I guess, shame you don't like falsetto though, I should scrap some songs of the list of potential songs to send :P Nah I won't
Sending in a few minutes.
-
Well I've secured my usual position at the bottom of the table. I can see Floods being a slightly polarizing song so I can understand your score to be fair. Pantera are my #2 band of all time and I pretty much love everything they've ever released.
On the plus side, the highest score was only an 8.5 so my low score hopefully won't affect me too much.
-
Yes, that's it. It only important relative score is right. If I gave you 7 I would need to shift everything else so it's really the same. There were no songs I didn't like at all in this round, I hope you continue that way :tup
BTW I guess you'll have to wait for SN to pick his bonus because there's theme round bonus and if he picks that and use right away there is chance you will want to resubmit.
-
:corn
I'll take it. I already know what to send but I'll wait until shadow has casted his bonus vote
-
yeah i've said it time and time before but the bass on the apologist is fantastic.
the two songs following that track on the album are both pretty intense, quick instrumentals and the first one definitely builds off that outro so yeah it's important it's there in the context of the album
go listen to the album 'cause it's definitely better as a whole than in separate tracks :P
-
Considering all the negative things you said about my song, I guess I'm alright with 8/10, even though I was sure it'd be totally up your alley.

There are actually no bad things in the end :biggrin: when I said I don't like keys, I meant generally. I liked keys in that song more than I usually do.
-
there's one more thing i -have- to send but then after that i'm probably just gonna wing it/get cut
-
Uh, I'll just take the bonus point I guess. Glad you liked the song!
-
And I though that's boring bonus and no one will take it :lol You're free to send whatever now.
-
sent a whatever
the band is on the semi-banned list but not the album so c h e c k i t o u t
-
Cool, I'm pleased with that. The singer indeed sounds quite a bit like Warrel Dane, but Communic are generally more melodic than Nevermore :) They're also part of this Norwegian/Danish sound where quite a few heavy bands share a similar guitar/bass tone, early Volbeat being a famous example.
It's good you like the bass, might've inspired a future submission for me.
-
If I'd won the round, I would've taken a bonus point as well. Good pick!
I will send something tomorrow.

Well, I hope someone do suck because I don't have enough high scores :D

Waiting for one more entry. I'll start hangman tomorrow either way, maybe he's busy or something.

Either you think it's a song that I sent and have shown you (which it clearly isn't as my song is already up there :lol), or it's a song that was played in the plug.dj room whilst we were both there. Either way, I'm confused as I have no clue what it is? The 'something' Trip??

Oh no, you have nothing to do with that one, the last one is a band that someone in plug showed me, you probably haven't heard it. I was just jokingly linking that situation to your 'guess' at my song. :lol

After the first listen I would say this round has potential to have even higher average score than round 1. There's one song I don't like that much, others are pretty good or great.
This song feels like Christmas.
Simple yet complex.
I feel this needs more listens to sink in.
I like how even calm parts get heavier and heavier.
Surprisingly, these two elements work great together.
Chorus kicks some serious butt!
Sorry, I don't feel it (yet).
Singer's voice is better (fuller) than I expected.
There's something about production that's bugging me here.
Guitar solo is less generic than I though it would be.
I didn't expect it to be this heavy.
Absolutely love singer's voice.

Round 2 Results
Evermind: The Wishing Tree - Soldier
I was really grateful for getting the band I never heard of because this round is full of those I either heard or heard of. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough. This song is nice but I can’t say I like it that much. Singer’s voice is just ok to me, I couldn’t get into it, maybe because it’s breathy, I don’t know. Some melodies are actually great but they lost me pretty fast. At the moments, guitar sounds like neofolk which is definitely a plus in my book. However, I can’t say I’m thrilled with it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good but I’m not crazy about it. My biggest problem with the song is that it really feels like a long interlude or fantasy TV show opening.
I’d like to like it more but unfortunately, while I like some parts of it, I really have no desire to listen to it anymore.
6/10
Sacul: Sufjan Stevens - John Wayne Gacy Jr
Another semi-banned artist. I actually liked his latest album very much but never heard anything else until now. Opening is classic Sufjan Stevens, acoustic guitar and piano. I liked his voice on Carrie & Lowell as well but here he sounds much better, in my opinion. His voice here is much fuller and natural opposed to that other album where he sounds like he’s refraining himself from letting his full voice out. What I absolutely love here is that part with falsetto, you know it :D (“…oh my God…”). I have to admit I’m usually not fan of those storytelling lyrics, I’m more of a poetry lover :P
Another song I feel like I didn’t do justice with my write-up but I don’t know what to say. It’s good, would listen again but it didn’t really grab me like Low Roar from round 1, for example.
7.5/10
Parama: The Ocean - Stenian (Mount Sorrow)
Another band I heard full album of. I liked them pretty much but I’m not crazy about that album. Beginning sounds almost like swing piano, getting kind of BTBAM vibe. Real thing starts with guitar and bass though, and after that there are strings which blend pretty good with everything else. That’s some intro. After intro, real paramacore starts :lol I’m never sure if I like these screaming vocals or not, but I know I don’t hate them. Cleans are pretty good. I never expected screaming and strings would work this good. What I find weird are those random blast beats, where did that come from? Again, this reminds me of BTBAM for some reason.
Again, I’m sorry for not giving it more than 7,5. I though it will grow on me but it didn’t really. It is really good but not something I would listen to all day right now. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll like it more.
7.5/10
Luoto: Barren Earth - Our Twilight
My first thought was: is this Amorphis? :lol It really sounds like them. Growls are awesome and those melodic parts underneath are catchy. On the other hand, I think clean vocals are just ok, I’d like if there was more energy in them. Solo sounds just like melodic death metal solo, I don’t find it special. Highlight of the song for me is the part after the solo. Similar melodic riff from the opening is back and paired with those growls it sounds mighty.
Overall, this is very good. My complaint is that it sounds really expected, like something I would imagine when thinking of melodic death metal (I won’t say it’s generic). And this round is very strong so I’m confident with this score. I’ll definitely check this band further though.
7,5/10
Shadow Ninja 2.0: Sarah Fimm - Orchids
I remember seeing this cover art somewhere but I had no idea what kind of music it is. It starts with vocals and piano right away, and both sound great. I don’t know what’s that piano sound is called but I love it. Singer’s voice is very warm, natural and emotional. Lyrics are very simple but it works because the song is simple as well. There are also some cello (I think), I wonder how would it sound it they played bigger role, under voice instead of solo section. Unfortunately, I can’t say I think it works that good here.
It’s really hard to describe it because it’s simple song. 7,5 because it starts and ends almost abruptly, I don’t like that. Very good song but it needs something to be more special to me.
7.5/10
Scorpion: Thrice - Beggars
I heard their latest recently and I liked some songs and I heard it’s not really their best so I was excited to hear this. In 100% hearing Thrice or Dustin, he sounded too good. I especially like how his voice gets from clean to gritty, and emotion in his voice sounds honest. When that bass kicked in it overpowered everything else. And I told that in round 1, I like loud bass :P Listening for the first time I was expecting it to get more “electric” and it did, with feedback-y guitar in the background. It may seem I love everything about it but even though there’s climax, I miss something to give me a wow factor, dunno.
This song was great and I’m looking forward to exploring them further. As I said, no real complaints, just it doesn’t feel like more than 7,5 to me.
7.5/10
Fluffy Lothario: Fleet Foxes - Lorelai
I listened to their EP a few times but I remember only the song Mykonos, after that I kinda forgot about them. So I knew what to expect and I got exactly that. There is classic uplifting opening: melodic guitar line and vocal harmonies. Harmonies reminds me of classic pop-rock bands like The Beatles. It is pretty “hippy” music :lol Singer’s voice is very nice but I knew that before. Overall sound is very folky, maybe even too much in direction I don’t like that much. On first, this sounds like simple song but there are some instruments in background (brass) and it is actually really complex with it, guitar, drums, vocals and backing vocals.
It is another of those songs I have nothing against but still can’t give it higher score :lol
7.5/10
Elite: Obsidian Kingdom - Away / Absent
It’s weird I never checked it out because you send this in every roulette :D I think I heard something off Mantiis and all I remember is that it was weird, I didn’t like it very much. Intro sounds like classic post metal, heavy bass, atmospheric guitars and then buried vocals. Drumming is really what stands out on first, I like this kind of fills. Also, bass is great. In one moment it sounds very messy and chaotic, not a bad thing, just I needed some time to get what’s happening. Where it gets super awesome is the middle of the song when it gets calmer, creating thick atmosphere. After that, everything is progressively heavier and heavier and then there’s that classic breakdown, really powerful. What I don’t like is production. I feel it could sound better and I if want to hear everything clearly I need to blast it really loud.
Cool song, it was actually my favorite out of heavy songs on first listen but some others have grown on me more. What I don’t like very much is production and it’s really weird song, don’t know what else to call it :lol
8/10
twosuitsluke: Turisas - Miklagard Overture
I heard of them and listened to them before. They didn’t leave great impact on me though, their image seemed silly and it was just too much for me. But this sounds really epic right from the beginning. I’ll probably overuse that word in this write-up but there is no better word than “epic”. I immediately realized singer is not native speaker and that’s why I like growling more than cleans (if that’s same singer at all). But cleans are ok as well. Talking about epicness, “Konstantinopolis” part is :hefdaddy. I like how even calmer parts get heavier and heavier, with electric instead of acoustic guitar. Those trumpets or whatever that is were too much for me at first but I learned to like them and they fit the theme and atmosphere. Whole atmosphere in the middle part is just epic, heavy chuggy guitars, keys, trumpets and what not. And then there’s choir. Epic, again. Me sending Ensiferum in your roulette probably influenced you to send Turisas and while they share similar themes, I don’t hear similarities other than growling style (and I’m glad it’s not that similar). This sound much more progressive than I thought it would be. At the end there’s choir singing “Konstantinopolis” part, I don’t have word to describe that :D
I feel like I could like this band even though I’m not into this kind of music lately. I think 8,5 is fair score. It is one of the best song I got so far but there are some I liked little more.
8.5/10
Scar: Beach House - Myth
I had no idea what to expect out of this, not even what genre it is. It starts almost like some Christmas song :lol melodic guitar and something that sound like bells in the background (?). Progressively, drums and bass kick in giving it really full and dreamy sound. Then I realized it has to be dream pop or something like that. Singer’s voice is also very nice, dreamy and smooth. I wouldn’t realize it is female singer if I didn’t check their Wikipedia page :lol Chorus is absolutely beautiful. And second verse gets even better because of backing vocals which make it more intense. Really simple but it makes it better. Perfect word for this kind of music is bittersweet, and I love that. I feel butterflies in stomach while listening to it :) I’d just like it to be little longer.
It was my favorite on the first listen but two others have grown on me very much so there’s that. But I’m looking forward to checking this out.
8.5/10
home: Fair to Midland - Orphan Anthem '86
I wanted to check this out since forever, I guess now it’s finally time to do it. Atmospheric intro, nice piano, layered vocals, I like all of it and I kinda expected it to sound like it. But I didn’t really expect it to be heavy, more like dredg or something like that. Singer’s voice is very emotional, love it. Now to talk about chorus, it is just perfect, dynamic change over calmer verses and emotion is on point, I love how different vocal styles sound together. Again, I didn’t expect screaming at all. Another thing I like is piano. It’s always there, on both calm and heavy parts. After the song is over I just want to hear it again, especially that chorus, it’s that good. I don’t know what to say about production, it’s raw and while it works, cleaner production may work even better.
I almost gave this 9 but I like song of the round better. Can’t wait to check these guys out!
8.5/10
Train of Naught: Soen - Sectarian
Again, I heard this band before, they sounded pretty much like Tool but I heard they changed a bit. And yes, they definitely did, intro riff already don’t sound like Tool. However, when singers started singing he reminded me of Mikael Akerfeldt and that’s not bad given how much I like Mikael’s voice. Bass and guitar riffs are heavy awesome and Martin Lopez’s drumming, as always, kicks ass. Too bad everything sound mushed together so I can’t really focus on drumming. There were so many good choruses in this round but this one wins the crown. At first I didn’t realize how great it was but with repeated listens this song got few points more just because of that chorus. Solo has eastern vibe, something we can hear in Opeth these days. And after it there’s Blackwater Park riff :P not really but you have to admit there are similarities. Also, I think singer sounds better than on the other songs from them I heard, especially in high end, I don’t think he even tried hitting higher notes on those songs.
Yes, this is definitely their best out of those I heard. I suck at scoring so this gets only 9 :P it almost got 9,5 to be honest but almost. It needs to be really perfect for 9,5 or 10. I’m looking forward to this album, especially if it’ll sound like this.
You're winner of the round and you get to choose your bonus.

Wow, do I suck or what. :lol
Will probably send Round 3 today.
-
Yay :D I'm really looking forward to that Soen album as well, should be good!
Also I'm picking the themed round bonus cause it seems like the most fun one, have to think about a theme though. I will let you know when I come up with something good, should have it for you today
-
I don't think more powerful vocals would fit that Pink Floyd -ish chorus really. That said, Kotamäki is no longer with the band and they now have this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqqmQTCqz-o#t=6m22s
They're not purely a melodic death band, they also have notable prog and doom influences. That album is my favourite, but you might like On Lonely Towers more thanks to the lead vocalist.

Ok, cool. I assume you want to use it for the next round so everyone should wait for it before sending.
-
Just sent you a rough sketch of an idea, I bet people will hate me/be too restricted with this theme so I'm thinking about a condition, like a second option in case it's too restricting.
-
By the way, Train, if you don't come up with the theme in the next ~20 hours, I will not be able to send anything until January 3rd.
-
Checked out that Soen song... Opeth written all over it. These guys seem to have trouble to not sound a bit too much like other bands :lol Good song though
-
Yeeey
It’s that good. I don’t know what to say about production, it’s raw and while it works, cleaner production may work even better.
I agree with that! This song is from their self released album inter.funda.stifle, their next album: Fables from a Mayfly: what I tell you three times is true is released with a record label and has a way better production. Some of the songs from inter.funda.stifle were actually rerecorded for Fables but sadly not this song :/
-
Checked out that Soen song... Opeth written all over it. These guys seem to have trouble to not sound a bit too much like other bands :lol Good song though
True, but I like this song better than any song on the last 3 Opeth albums :corn that doesn't say much though cause I'm not a huge fan of them anyway
I just sent tomislav the theme, waiting for his approval so I guess he will be the one to announce it in the thread. You can choose between two 'themes', though the primary one will give you a chance of gaining a 0,00001 bonus point, so they will have the upper hand in case of a tie. Needless to say, I have a song lined up that matches the primary theme :corn
-
7.5 out of meme :neverusethis:
-
Round 3: Cowbells :neverusethis:
The primary theme is any song that features cowbells, just one section with cowbells would be enough, as long as it's properly audible.
If you do not wish to send anything with cowbells, which I'm sure most won't, the only restriction is a length of 3:30 or shorter.
However, the best cowbell section of the round will be awarded with +0,00001 bonus point so they will have the upper hand in any future tie-breaker situation, in case this happens. I probably made it too easy with the sub-3:30 minute length thing, but I didn't want to be too harsh either.
--
Alright, I'm sending right away
-
i legit do not know if i have any song with cowbell
-
Come on baby...
Baby take my hand...
We'll be able to fly...
Baby I'm your man...
-
I thought that you'd dig that song more, oh well.
I'll have to check my library for cowbell, I guess. I've got some kick-ass 3:30 songs too, so it's not that bad a theme.
-
I don't even know what cowbell is so there you go.

From 9 seconds on.
Edit: Ooh I just remembered a song which has a cool cowbell part and it's exactly 3:30. No idea if you're going to like it tho. I'm probably better of sending a non cowbell song under 3:30, nah I'm going for that bonus!
Sent cowbell your way through Spotify :hat
-
Okay, got it. As a guy who doesn't pay attention to drums, this theme is a total miss for me. I'm going with a short song.
-
I'm always a fan of weird themes so that's good :lol
However, if I can't find a song I like enough, that has cowbells, then I'll send something under 3:30, obviously.
Glad you liked Turisas dude, that song truly is epic in every sense. It's not really representative of that album, or any other song of theirs I can think of. It's a great album closer but don't expect to hear much else like that on the album.
-
Hell yeah, I remembered there was a song with cowbells that is by a band I was planning to send anyway. Screw it, if I can't take risks I don't want to live :lol
So in short, sent.
-
I was listening to Awake last night and realised that Caught in a Web has cowbells in it. Just saying, there's plenty of scope within this themed round :corn
-
Sure, if all bands I know using cowbell weren't banned :lol
This theme definitely limited my submission quite dramatically.
-
Hey, guys. I'd like you to send as soon as possible because this week I'm still home and don't have anything important to do. But if you can't that's ok.

Ok, everyone but Fluffy Lothario sent. He wasn't active since Christmas Eve and there isn't avatar on his profile, is he banned? :lol
Either way, I'll start hangman tomorrow.
-
I think he is. It happened shortly after he voiced his (fairly negative) opinion on The Beatles. Can't have any non-Beatles fans on DTF, come on, we only like real music here! :neverusethis:
-
Either that or a ragequit.
-
I just read that thread though, and it's a pretty silly conversation really. I don't think he's banned, because that usually comes with a mod saying something along the lines of 'we'll give you a week cool-down time. bye.' and no such message exists in that thread.
-
Pigs by Pink Floyd features a lot of cowbell in the last three minutes. It's a shame they're banned :p
-
he will be, slow forever
but man yeah it's been over a week now :s
By the way, Train, if you don't come up with the theme in the next ~20 hours, I will not be able to send anything until January 3rd.
haha this is funny in hindsight

Yeah, and to think I had to send my entry in a real hurry so I just picked whatever song fit the 3:30 criteria. :lol

Pretty sure I've got like 5/10, and you should check your PM inbox if you haven't yet. ;)

I'm prepared to jump on the Train bashing train following this round :lol
I'm concerned the pay off for the best cowbell section won't be enough to compensate for the lower score I'm likely to get due to picking the song based on cowbell :facepalm:
I willingly went along with it though, all depends how well/sucky I do.

which is 0,00001 and you're not getting it :biggrin:

Karaoke time :metardica:
Running off over next doors garden before the hour is done. It's more a question of feeling than it is a question of fun. The confidence is the balaclava I'm sure you'll baffle 'em good. Will the ending reek of salty cheeks, and runny makeup alone? Or will blood run down the face of a boy bewildered and scorned. And you'll find yourself in a skirmish and you wish you'd never been born. And you tie yourself to the tracks and there isn't no going back and it's wrong wrong wrong but we'll do it anyway cause we love a bit of trouble

Sorry, I'm basically studying math. I can't leave stuff like that go unanswered. :P
I had math in first four semesters. Thank god it's over, I hated math :D

Here are the results. Sorry for not being wordy on most of the write-ups but most of the songs are short and I didn't have much to say about them. Also, I should be doing my homework :lol
Round 3 Results
Scar: GWAR - Rock n' Roll Never Felt So Good
Obviously, I heard of them before but never bothered to listen to them. And I don't really listen to this kind of music anymore if it's not especially good. Well, this was exactly what I expected, classic heavy metal. I would compare it to Kiss and first Iron Maiden album if it was less good. This isn't bad, I enjoyed it but after second listen I had no desire to listen to it anymore yet I had to because it wouldn't be fair. Not to be negative, I liked singer's voice, sounds similar to Paul Di'Anno. I'm sorry for not scoring it better but I can't really say there's anything great about this song, that made it better than other classic heavy metal songs.
Was it worth to send this song just because of the few seconds of cowbell in the intro? I don't think so.
6/10
Scorpion: Portishead - Nylon Smile
Once again, semi-banned artist from you. I have this weird relationship with trip-hop: love it or don't get it. Unfortunately, I didn't really get this. Or Portishead at all. I'm listening to it and know I should like it because everything is there but I just don't feel it. It's atmospheric and kinda eerie, singer's voice is great, lyrics are cool and in the end I still don't feel it. It's not that I hate it but I expected to like it more and that's why I'm disappointed. Really don't know what else to say about it.
6.5/10
Luoto: Embreach - City of Hope
I think this is the only song where too much happens in 3 minutes :D Vocals kick right in and it's nice melodic metal. But that change is kinda weird, screaming hardcore vocals, I just don't like it as much as clean part. Part which I like is that short solo, especially rhythm section underneath it, double bass and heavy guitars. But it also feel like it was taken from some other song. And this whole song is weird mix, I can't really describe it. Can't say I love this song but it was fun to listen to.
7/10
twosuitsluke: Clutch - A Quick Death in Texas
Another band I wanted to check out since forever now, I'm sure you played something by them on plug.dj and last.fm recommended them to me. So I was excited to hear it. Unfortunately, I wasn't too blown away because I expected something like stoner rock/metal yet this is bluesy rock really. I hope rest of their stuff is less of that and more beard metal :P Guitar tone is great, sounds really natural and at the same time heavy. Also, I like singer, especially in chorus, really ballsy performance. However, there is some kind of 'brake', it does not go all in like, for example, Corrosion of Conformity. As I already said, this sounds more like blues rock. I'd like to like it more and that's why I'll definitely check them further.
Cowbell section wasn't really that memorable to me, sorry.
7/10
Home: Lorde - Gore and Glory
I have to admit this had lower score on my first listen :D I seemed really forgetful. However, it grew on me. It is one of those songs for which I don't really have much to say. Atmosphere is really cool, thick and trippy, some sick beats there :D Chorus is definitely high point of the song. I'm not sure about her voice. I mean, it's nice but nothing special to me, I'm not crazy about it. I was tempted to give it 0.5 more but looking at the other songs I wasn't so sure but I'd like to hear this album and maybe I'll like it more (and know it doesn't mean much too you because score isn't too high :P )
7/10
Elite: Talking Heads - Crosseyed and Painless
I heard of this band and I knew what kind of music they usually play. And I was excited to hear it because I expected some post-pun/new age but I got something else. Well, this is funk more than anything else. Thing about me and funk (and this song): usually, I don't like it. I know most funk musicians are really great players and I can hear it in this song but there is something I can't understand about it. However, I liked this song. Something in the intro reminded me of Bill Wither's Lovely Day, not that it's really similar but I wanted to say it :P Singers are awesome, both lead and back vocals. I don't think I have to say anything about guitars, that playing is crazy, there's always something happening. But it's just sometimes it gets boring to me. I know I suck but this gets too 'happy' for me :lol It's good yet not something I would usually listen to.
And yeah, cowbell in this song is crazy :lol there's even small cowbell solo section and I just have to give bonus points to you.
7 + 0.00001 = 7.00001/10
Train of Naught: Arctic Monkeys - Balaclava
This band is very popular in my country but I didn't like anything I heard from them before. However, this was pretty cool (and also, I had to listen to it more than once :P ). It kicks right in, with catchy vocal line and funky bass. Actually, whole song is pretty catchy. I'm not really a dancer but this was one of the songs in this round that made me dance :lol You probably know the part, that heavy guitar riff. I heard singer's solo EP he made for movie Submarine. I liked that very much but those are ballads and this song fits his voice more. Now, on slightly worse things. I'm not really into this kind of music (or is it just this one song). It sounds like classic rock revival, I don't know. And I'd like to like it more, it's kinda cool yet probably not something I'll listen to all the time (but who knows). It's not bad by any means but I can't give it higher score than this.
Cowbell section was pretty cool, starting with basic rhythm and then doubling it here and there. However, there was one better cowbell section in this round.
7.5/10
Evermind: iamthemorning - Circles
So here is the biggest teaser of this roulette :D I love piano in the intro and I love combination of piano and string. And voice is very soothing. Vocal melodies are really really nice, they are not over the top, singer is mostly in same range all the time and that works. I love the part of the chorus (?) where piano melody gets faster and in that moment everything fits so well together. However, this feels like teaser and I'm so sorry (blame Train :P ) you had to send short song. Just when I get into it it's over. But don't be disappointed, your score in this round his above average.
7.5/10
Parama: Cursive - Driftwood: A Fairy Tale
When I was listening to this for the first time I didn't know what it was yet I liked it. And, to be honest, I still have no idea what this is. What genre? It doesn't matter because it's pretty cool. This was actually cheating, song is actually 4:40 long but I forgive you :P If I had to compare it to something, I got Bodies of Water vibe in the intro and their A Certain Feeling is one of my favorite albums I discovered lately. It's cool how in one moment it sounds really folky with that violin and then distorted guitar kicks in. It's not that guitar is heavy but in contrast with violin it seems like it. Singer's voice is somewhat thin but it fits well here. And chorus is very catchy. Then why 'only' 7.5? Because it's just too short to really get into but I'm looking forward to check Dirty Organ :D
7.5/10
Shadow Ninja 2.0: Landon Tewers - Ma and Pa
Ok, this song was very weird at first, especially intro with those few long notes and deep layered vocals. And I have to admit, I thought this was ok but nothing more. The thing that won me over later was chorus, very catchy and powerful. Also, verses grew on me very much. I mean, you know I love dark music and verses are super dark (“…I'm a sick fuck, a sick fuck with good luck…”). And it's atmospheric, I like that part before chorus where it sounds like I'm underwater :D There isn't much to say about it because it's really short song but I enjoyed it very much, more than most songs in this round so here you go.
(BTW I'm still not sure what genre this is)
8/10
Sacul: Janelle Monae - Cold War
This was my favorite song on first listen and it remained up there. You know I'm usually not into this genre (is this rnb?) but this is just too good, everything about it. It starts with some atmospheric organ (I think) but real thing is actually very upbeat. This is another song that made me dance :lol Throughout the song there are atmospheric parts which I love, it would be monotonous without them, I think. Her voice is absolutely beautiful, I already feel I could listen to her singing phonebook. There is something like keyboard solo at the end, maybe those are not keys but guitar with some weird effect, I love that part.
This really is a perfect pop song, I will definitely check this album out. Also, you won this round, choose one of the remaining bonuses.

About round 4: I have 4 exams in week from January 23rd to 27th but it's all over (hopefully) after 31st. That week and a half will probably be slow so I'd like you to send as soon as possible so I can finish round 4 next week.

Hahaha seems like I fucked up a few people with this theme, worth it :hat gonna have to listen to that Talking Heads song, I was looking for some good cow bell songs anyway.
-
Wow, look, my song didn't suck! But even with this, I'm still at 11th place. :lol
I have a few ideas about this round, will try to send either today or tomorrow.
Oh, and also

If I knew I could've sent a 4:40 song, I would've picked a much better song by iamthemorning. But hey, 7.5, I'm fine.
-
he's lying, i sent him a sub-3:30 version of the song that has a minute and a half of ambient noise cut
-
That's true, I was just joking :lol
-
Totally fair score. This is by no mean their best effort so please check out the band. I only sent the song because of theme, 7 was as good as I was hoping for.
Elite's song totally deserves the bonus, he played it in the plug.dj last night and it is full on bellcore!!!
-

Exactly this :hat
Sent something through Spotify :azn:
-
Nice! That album is actually a lot more varied than that song, but it's a wonderful one.
I'll carefully think of my bonus.
-
I agree it's not that special stand-alone, and like I said I was seriously limited by this round. The previous track on the album actually transitions seamlessly into it and even has the same fast palm-muted guitar riff. That said I'm quite ok with the score :D
EDIT: Sent the song I was going to send in the previous round already
-
Tomi do you want the dissonant and unsettling one or the intense and triumphant one

-
Probably. I don't know how I feel about 'dissonant and unsettling'.

:( :(
-
sent an artist I've been itching to send to someone for a while
rip my 12+ minute song, sacrificed on a song not even 13 minutes long
-
Alright, sent my song, and this time I'm hoping for a great score.
-
Sent again, okay, maybe not a great score. :lol
-
Ok, only 6 of you have sent so far and there is not enough room in the thread title :corn

About this round so far: back to the form round (last one wasn't bad, just less good), almost every song is pretty good. Also, I don't think I'll have time to finish this round soon. It is by far the longest round and I'll need more time to get into these songs. And exams start next Monday (I have 4 in first week). So if it's not over by this Sunday it won't be at least until the next Friday (very likely) :-\
Some tidbits.
Probably the most headbangable song I got in this roulette so far.
This is the every style of metal.
Not as heavy as I expected it to be.
I love the melodies.
Singer is easily the worst part of this song.
Getting mixed feelings from this.
This kind of music is usually hit or miss for me. This song could be a hit.
Pretty groovy on moments but fells like something is piercing my brain.
Love this style of vocals.
Has every element that makes the great song for me but I think I’d like it more if it was shorter (it’s still early to say though).
Just a great musicianship but I feel I'll need some time to get into it.
-
probably the second to last one :lol

So, guys... this round is the best or the second best round so far. Kudos! (seriously, someone should start sending bad songs :lol)
Bad news: I won't be able to do results until next Friday/Saturday because exams :\
Good news: I will do more listens than in any other round while studying.

Good news: I am wishing you good luck on your exams.

Oh tnx. Sorry for late reply :P
There are two songs that are making me want to check full albums right away :corn (but I won't do it yet)

How about results today? :corn
Not saying it'll be soon because there's handball match on TV in 20 minutes (anyone watching World Cup?) but I beered myself up, and have some chips so I'll deliver 'em today (or tomorrow, depending on your time zone).

My exams are done so I'm mentally prepared for results :corn :corn
You're done now too right?

There's one more exam for me on a Tuesday number 2119 but I don't feel like studying today. Had exam today, until 6 PM.

I'm ready for the Phil Anselmo bashing, bring it :corn

This round is best round so far, with average score of high 8/10 :o You all really sent solid songs. Some of you might not be satisfied with your score but I had enough listens this week and I'm confident in them. Cheers. And send for round 5 whenever.
Round 4 Results
Scar: Animals As Leader - CAFO
I’m pretty sure I heard one of their albums few years ago when I was more into the wanky progressive metal. To be honest, I wasn’t really happy I got them in the roulette. Reason is, I don’t like instrumentals that much, especially so much wankery. Bu it had grown on me. Contrary to others, I like rhythm more than lead parts. I mean, leads are super complicated and it’s just good to hear someone playing so good. Rhythm parts are very groovy and that’s style I like more. Leads are sometimes just too complicated and they feel like someone is piercing my brain. But that’s just on moments, I quite enjoy the song. I don’t know what more to say. It’s pretty good song but not something I would usually listen to.
7/10
Sacul: Have a Nice Life - Holy Fucking Shit: 40,000
I had some trouble with scoring this song. First part sounds almost like Pink Floyd. I’m not sure if I like it or not. To be honest, most of the time I was listening to it I was indifferent. I guess I need to be in really shitty mood to like it :P I mean, there are stuff like this in my library and same as this, I have to be in certain mood to listen to it. Fortunately there are some variations with piano in first part. And also fortunately, there’s a weird second part. It lifts this song quite a bit. Don’t know what is it, sound quality is just bad on purpose and I like it :lol is this Sacul/Zantera music. Honestly, I can’t explain it. I guess second part just go under your skin, it’s emotionally heavy without any word in it. Just noise :D
This song was weird. First part is ok, second part is better and there’s your score.
7.5/10
Evermind: Be'lakor - Venator
I don't think anyone guessed Evermind sent this :lol There is soft intro, some cool guitar lines but after that it's really heavy. Like really really heavy. Guitar tone is pretty good here, maybe too trebly but it's ok. Keyboards add really cool layer here. I like how they added some short guitar solos there, and one around 2:30 is contrasting heaviness around it which is cool to take a breath a little. Now...while guitars are pretty cool, I got a little tired of it, unfortunately. It would be ok if song was a little bit shorter but after more then a 8 minutes every riff gets blurred in my head and I have no idea were they all the same :S I guess I like solo parts better, especially those slower solos. About vocals: they fit the music, wouldn't say I love then but I like them enough. And his tone is similar to Johan Hegg's from Amon Amarth and he has killer voice.
Now, it may seem like I wrote some negative things about this song but I actually like a lot and I had trouble scoring it so you got my default score :P
7.5/10
Scorpion: While Heaven Wept - The Furthest Shore
And there’s the longest song I got so far in the roulette, it’s almost 16 minutes long. As you know, I heard their song Vessel before I loved every bit of it but I never came down to check the whole album. It easy to say this is song is epic: it’s long and kinda heroic sounding. And it has like every subgenre of metal combined, I honestly have no idea how to label it :lol but it doesn’t matter. I like contrasts of heavy and soft parts, like instruments are telling the story. In that other song I heard I absolutely loved singer. Here a little less for some reason, he just fits that song better (I still like him here). The part I love is guitar solo, it’s melodic and emotional, tone is nice. It’s funny how this song is very long yet I have no idea what to say about. Maybe that, while being good, it’s pretty standard sounding on moments. The thing it reminds me the most are those old doom bands.
I have a feeling this song will grow on me later and it's almost 8/10 but I can’t give it higher score now, unfortunately. That’s the problem with long songs :/ Still, this is a good score.
7.5/10
Parama: Spectral Lore - A Rider Through the Lands of an Infinite Dreamscape
I never know what to think about music like this. Often, I like it but also, often it seems samey no matter how long it is. And this song is very long. Intro sound just like any atmospheric metal band but guitar melodies are not that classic for atmospheric BM and that’s what sets them apart from other bands. Actually, there are some great melodies. I like there are some calmer part, it is definitely pretty varied song. That ambient part sounds like it could be in some old psychological horror film :P I have to admit I wasn’t a big fan of that part on first few listens but it got better more I listened to it. Part after that is more of the same atmospheric black metal. However, what I like about it is that they are not afraid to use non-conventional guitar riffs and licks (Thy Light comes to mind, their solos are straight up nwobhm). This song is a little long but it doesn’t drag really, it is fine as it is.
This was almost 7.5 but I changed it at the last listen when I really paid attention to every bit of it.
8/10
twosuitsluke: Down - Stone the Crow
So, there it is :P I know you forgot I don’t really like Phil Anselmo but I’m glad you sent this. Down is band I heard of, my friend who loved Pantera also listened to them but I never heard more than a few songs from them. So I knew what genre they played and that is lately one of the genres I like quite a lot and try to explore. Corrosion of Conformity come to mind, and it sounds like Down is the most similar to CoC out of the bands I’ve heard. Guitar in this song has that nice southern-style cleans and heavily distorted leads in chorus. Main clean riff is pretty dope, I like it no matter how often it played here. You won’t believe it but I actually love Phil’s performance on clean parts :P his delivery is quite emotional, just as much as song ask it to be. And again, what I don’t like about him, are those harsh vocals he usually use. It’s not I hate them but I’d rater hear his cleans. Guitar solo is great, don’t know if those are dual guitars or just delay but it sounds very bluesy and heavy, like Black Sabbath. After the solo there’s more of Phil’s growling… but it’s ok :D
Don’t know what you expected, I think the score is fair for the song.
8/10
Train of Naught: Skyharbor - Patience
I wasn’t sure whether to accept this song or not since you played it on plug.dj not long ago but I had no idea what it sounded like. One thing I remembered was music video because it looked similar to Raven That Refused to Sing video. But that doesn’t matter, let’s talk about the song. The beginning sounds almost like Cynic, they have similar sound. Fortunately, this doesn’t go too heavy. Those slow build-ups are what I always love. String are subtle enough not to be overpowering but loud enough. And of course, it get even better when drums and bass kick in. They play simple and then less simple, getting it ready for that chorus. Even the singer is kinda restraining himself in first part of the song. I’d like if he got more powerful in the chorus but it’s ok this way. What I liked immediately were those melodies in chorus, both vocal and guitar melodies. Bass is also pretty prominent here, which is always a plus for me. Chorus is a climax but I feel it could be even more powerful, don’t know, it’s still a great song.
I wasn’t sure what score to give it but I think it is a cool song and I want to check them further.
8/10
Luoto: Von Hertzen Brothers - Kiss a Wish
I never heard of this band prior to this round. After checking them I was glad I didn’t got classic melodic death metal from you, because I two melodeath song this round :P In a way this song reminded me of classic ‘70s progressive rock and that’s a good thing, I like classic prog. Next thing I liked is how there is build-up in first minute of the song. Very melodic, catchy verse, and even catchier chorus. Bass playing is just awesome, too bad it’s not louder. By the time, song gets more complicated, yet it stays melodic and catchy. There’s too much happening really, it almost feels like song is over after the 2 and a half minutes. But then it gets a little bit weirder, there’s flute (or something). All the time band is constrained just playing some chill stuff while flute is doing it’s own thing. Can’t say I like that flute that much but it is pretty interesting to hear something not so common. However, I love when drums get wild, and guitar solo is great. For a pretty long song it doesn’t drag at all.
I almost gave you a half point more but 8 is ok as well, I guess.
8/10
home: Mew - Cross the River On Your Own
I know they are quite popular in roulette (or is it you who send them all the time) yet somehow I never heard a note of their music. I like the song from the start but I thought it’d be even better if it was shorter. Maybe it because it reminds me of Myth by Beach House, a song Scar sent in round 2. And yes, this is similar style, atmospheric, haunting and also catchy. Intro and first verse are just ok, clean guitar and great voice, which fit this style of music perfectly. BTW Mew’s singer has girlier voice than singer of Beach House and she is… well, she :P . The high point of the song is chorus, very catchy stuff. More than once I found myself singing: "You be good to me…" even if I didn’t hear it earlier that day. It works as it should, gets stuck in the head but not in an annoying way. Song progresses from very simple to less simple and I liked that, how layers unveil one by one. That’s why I was wrong about it being too long for what really happens in the song. Solo is nice as well, getting classic rock vibe from it.
Awesome song, looking forward to checking the album (or any other album by them if you recommend it). It is not the best song in the round because this round was just too good, but it’s not far from the best, to be honest.
8.5/10
Shadow Ninja 2.0: Dark Tranquillity - What Only You Know
For some reason I expected Dark Tranquillity to be full-on melodic death metal and I was a little bit startled when I realized they were softer :lol and that’s the reason I didn’t particularly like this song. Not because it’s not super heavy but because it wasn’t what I expected. Fortunately, I had to listen to it further so I realized how beautiful it is. Full band (minus vocals) kick right in with heaviness but hint of emotions in keyboard play. And then it becomes calmer and this it really won me over. Singer’s voice is just perfect and emotional. Transition to growls is pretty smooth. Is it the same singer who does cleans and growls? There is that keyboard part in the chorus again, really cool use, like choir sample. Second verse, bridge and chorus are pretty much the same as the first time but I don’t care, it is good as it is. This song is not overly complicated but it is what I need in my life right now. I just hope more of their songs are like this :P
You almost won best song of the round title again but I liked one more song a little bit more. However, this is the top 3 song of the roulette right now.
9/10
Elite: Zeal & Ardor - Come On Down
When in PM you wrote it is Delta Blues / Black Metal, I honestly had no idea what to expect. It sounded so weird and sounded like something I wouldn’t combine in my wildest dreams :lol . And yet… it worked great. I’m not really a delta blues fan but I can listen to it, it’s fine. Intro part sounds just like blues, just more modern, I guess. But when metal kicked in, wow! Riffs are really nothing special but they work so good here, it’s unbelievable. One part that was kinda weird is that when heavy metal riffing is going on under falsetto :lol The part I loved from the beginning were black metal screams. I hope they have more songs like this and screams are used for actual singing of lyrics. I have trouble writing about this song because no matter how weird it is, it works perfectly. I just love it :lol
There is a song I like equally but I have to give you the title of round winner because this was risky entry and you did it.

-
Yea, I'm more than happy with an 8/10 considering this could've scored way worse with you :lol I know you mentioned Corrosion of Conformity, you know Pepper Keenan is in Down right? I think seeing in the 'what album are you listening to' thread, that you were listening to CoC influenced me sending Down actually :tup
Their first album is their best as far as I'm concerned :metal
What are the overall scores now? How far off the bottom am I?
-
There are standings in both OP and results post. You're 8th and that means nothing because you're only 1.00001 behind the line :D
-
Wow, this round was a belter. Can't really lose with Kiss a Wish.
Shadow Ninja 2.0: Dark Tranquillity - What Only You Know
...
Is it the same singer who does cleans and growls? There is that keyboard part in the chorus again, really cool use, like choir sample. Second verse, bridge and chorus are pretty much the same as the first time but I don’t care, it is good as it is. This song is not overly complicated but it is what I need in my life right now. I just hope more of their songs are like this :P
Yes, Mikael Stanne does all of their vocals. Their last two albums in particular have a slightly increased use of clean vocals, though they're present from Fiction onwards (and Projector). Also a fun trivia: a fellow sports club member of mine is the godfather of the girl in the music video for "Forward Momentum".
Not sure yet what I'll send in round 5.
-
Not bad, I'll take it :metal
I'll think of something for next round this weekend.
-
Apparently I have no chance in this roulette at all, but it was funny to see people trying to guess who sent Be'lakor. Thank you Train for not spoiling it. :biggrin:
I will send something on Monday (which is the day of 01011001 listening session and you'd better be there).

No one guessed I sent Type O did they? :lol
EDIT:Ignore me, I see what happened here :facepalm:
-
So I'm gonna guess, for the final three:
Train = Astronoid
Shadow Ninja 2.0 = Switchfoot
Elite = Toundra
probably 0/3 but I want to know who sent Astronoid! :rollin
-
It's 1/3 but that's same as 3/3 so here it is :D
twosuitsluke: Type O Negative - Love You to Death
Scar: XI - Freedom Dive ↓
Luoto: Ghost Brigade - Aurora
Parama: fun. - Take Your Time (Coming Home)
Evermind: Vanden Plas - Vision 9ine: Soul Alliance
Elite: Astronoid - Tin Foil Hats
Shadow Ninja 2.0: Switchfoot - The Blues
home: Karnivool - Alpha Omega
Train of Naught: Toundra - Requiem
Sacul: Gorillaz - Kids with Guns
Scorpion: Grayceon - War's End
@Elite, your bonus is still waiting for you. Claim it before end of this round :P And when this round ends? Probably on Saturday. This round is pretty hard to rate, most song grew on me a lot and I still don't know what score is give to certain song (inb4 7.5/10)
-
heck yeeaahhh 7.5
-
You can expect results sometime today, doing my last listen right now :tup
-
This round was definitely the hardest to score. I changed a few scores on last listen and I'm still not sure about some of them but here's what you got. Also, it's not even close to being the worst round as I initially thought.
Round 5 Results
Scar: XI - Freedom Dive ↓
My first thought: wow, this is so frantic. My final thought: wow, this is so frantic. It definitely sounds like programmed shred guitar :lol But… it’s not that bad as I initially thought. I would like it more if it wasn’t so fast all the time. For example, that short piano break is very beautiful. Unfortunately, it gets crazy again after it. This song sounds like Japanese game soundtrack or something and playing is very impressive but I can’t see myself ever listening to it after this round. It’s not bad but it’s not my cup of tea either. (btw I rated this even worse on my first listen :P )
6/10
Scorpion: Grayceon - War's End
So... this is one of your favorite songs ever huh... It’s always hard not to think about it when someone tells me that :P I don’t like first part of the song very much, to be honest. String section is when it gets a little more interesting to me. That first part sounds emotional and vocals are emotional as well but I can’t say I like her voice enough, sorry. Vocal melodies are just too monotonous for the most part. The song isn’t bad and I don’t hate it but I have to be honest and say it bored me. I was trying hard to get into it, find something that will transform it from an ok song to great song and unfortunately I didn’t find it.
6.5/10
Sacul: Gorillaz - Kids With Guns
Obviously, I heard of them and I know two of their most popular songs (I guess). I was planning to check them because they seemed pretty cool and lately I started to listen to trip-hop. I have to say they are different than most trip-hop acts I’ve heard. The ones I like, like Archive and Massive Attack, are very moody and atmospheric and judging by these few songs I know, Gorillaz are a little different. I’m not a big fan of those funky bass lines but here it does its purpose and makes the song really catchy. My favorite part is singing in the chorus (I’m indifferent towards rapping). That atmospheric part near the end is very cool as well.
I can’t say it made me eager to check them out but it’s pretty good.
7/10
Shadow Ninja 2.0: Switchfoot - The Blues
This was closest to you not succeeding in sending me a good song :lol In the end, this song grew on me a lot. Still, I have some problems with it which were up front on my first listen and that’s why I didn’t value this song as much as I do now. Firstly, it sounds like early 2000s alternative rock I usually don’t like. And that’s funny because it is 2000s alternative rock :P Secondly, vocals still sound kinda weird. I don’t know what it is, maybe they are (or just sound that way to me) overproduced. The reason it grew on me are emotions during most of the song, especially You're pushing till you're shoving part. So yeah, I enjoyed it in the end and it gave me chills more than once. However, I don’t know will I check their music further but you can recommend me some of their albums if you wish.
7.5/10
Train of Naught: Toundra - Requiem
I have this weird relationship with post-rock. I love some of it and kinda like the rest of it. I don’t think I’ve ever heard any post-rock that I hated but I also rarely love it very much (unless it’s best of GY!BE or Explosions in the Sky). It’s same with this, I can’t really say there is anything I don’t like with it but still I can’t compare it to the higher scored songs and say I like this equally or more. Nevertheless, this is pretty interesting, especially after the string join the rest of the band. And clearly, it’s structured like a real song, with verses and chorus. Second chorus with strings is definitely better but I understand why strings are not there from the beginning. In every good post-rock song there is a big climax and it is here as well in form of a guitar solo backed by strings and pretty heavy drumming, I like it.
Yeah, I like the song but I have to give it only 7.5/10 due to reasons mentioned before.
7.5/10
Parama: fun. - Take Your Time (Coming Home)
I rarely listen to this kind of music, especially if it’s happy as this one, but thank you for sending it :D However, I like when song is catchy, when vocal melodies are good as these are. There is usually problem with catchy songs: they get boring and old fast, no matter how much you like them at first. Well, fun. succeed to make a fun and catchy song and at the same time it is interesting enough to make me keep attention to it. Instrumental is interesting as well. I can’t really choose a highlight of this song, it is pretty consistent even though it’s pretty long song.
I had trouble rating this, it’s pretty good and fun. but I just can’t compare it to other 8s so you get your beloved score again :P
7.5/10
Elite: Astronoid - Tin Foil Hats
I’m not sure but I think Luke played this (or something off this album) like a month ago on plug.dj and I said I don’t like it :lol Well, I’m glad you sent it. This time I liked it from the start. I guess this is shoegaze + black metal, right? I always say that black metal and all its forms are the most beautiful music if done well. And it’s done well. There are some blast beats, fortunately, they are not overused and I love drumming here opposed to some bands that use blast beats. Even though there are some black metal influences, I’m glad vocals are completely clean, it differentiate them from other bands in this blackgaze (or whatever it is). Chorus is something beautiful, one of my favorite moments of this round (can’t find lyrics, I guess it says The clouds upon the sky, sunshine’s on my face). Near the end it goes in Cynic-like territory and I’m not sure if it fits here but it’s ok.
This was a lot to process and I’m still not sure what is the right score to give to this but I’m going with 8 in the last moment. Will check this album out.
8/10
Evermind: Vanden Plas - Vision 9ine: Soul Alliance
As you know, I heard some of their songs before. Only one I remember was Stone Roses Edge which is awesome. So I knew what to expect before listening to this. Keys in the beginning are kinda Gates of Babylon :P I assume some people don’t like singer very much (but I have no idea really), to me he has somewhat similar timbre to Roy Khan and I love that. Other thing I love is piano underneath heavy riffs, and keyboard playing in general here. Guitar riffs are fine as well, not so much in my opinion, but still good. That quiet break is what makes this song better, with piano, voice and strings (probably keys).
I will definitely (finally) check this album out as this was pretty good. It lacks something to get 8.5 or more but it’s still a great song.
8/10
Luoto: Ghost Brigade - Aurora
So you have realized I love audible bass :lol As you said, bass is the backbone of this song, so thick and powerful. And chorus is even better, when electric guitars and growling vocals kick in. Again, guitar tone is absolutely great. Towards the end it gets even more sludgy, that riff is so good. It’s hard for me to find words and describe this song. It’s not really the most original song ever, yet it has enough great parts to keep listener interested and really, every instrument in this song sounds awesome. I don’t know what genre it is, internet says it atmospheric sludge/progressive metal and I’m so glad it’s not as any of these genres. It’s definitely atmospheric and sludgy but there’s safe dose of melodies as well.
This song was one of my favorites in this round from the beginning, I hope their other songs are in similar style.
8/10
twosuitsluke: Type O Negative - Love You to Death
I heard some of their songs before as it is something I should like but I didn’t and tbh I didn’t try to hard. Lately, I’ve into bands like Woods of Ypres and Paradise Lost and Type O Negative remind me of those two pretty much. Peter’s deep voice is probably something most people have trouble getting into and it is a little weird at first but it grew on me later, especially in heavier part of the song. Right from beginning, this song is beautiful, some piano and his voice. And with whole band it gets even better, of course. I got used to chuggy, highly distorted riffs in combination with piano in my doom metal and it sounds awesome as always. The reason I like this song even more is because it succeed to be very emotional and everything he says seems so honest even though music is pretty heavy. My favorite part is Sugar Mice part until the end (4:55) :lol You can’t deny it sounds like it. Everything just clicks there: music, singer’s voice, lyrics, emotions.
It gets the same score as that Turisas song but I like this one little more and that makes it your best submission so far :tup Keep it up!
8.5/10
home: Karnivool - Alpha Omega [Live @Ghost City Sessions]
I'm so glad I got this in my roulette because I forgot to put it on my wishlist and I know I wanted to put it since I saw them on someone's Top 50 list (I think it was some other album). And also, this was pretty much love on the first listen :D I heard people compare them to Tool and on moments they are pretty similar. However, judging by this song I will say they have that emotional dimension Tool often lack. By now you probably realized, and maybe you send this song for that reason, I love this kind of progressive songs, when it's cam and quiet in the beginning and then gets heavier and heavier. That middle heavy part is especially great, rhythm section is so tight, love them bouncy bass lines. I have to mention singer as well. There is some Maynard in his voice but (fortunately) not as much as in Soen’s singer. I find his voice perfectly suitable for this kind of music. It’s not that I’m floored by him but at the same time he is serving music perfectly and I couldn’t imagine someone else in his place. This ain't no ordinary life part is awesome.
Yeah, this is pretty much the best song in this round, congrats :D and choose your bonus.

here's my round 6 entry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rK95uR1gE2I
-
:omg: Yeaaaaah, I'm so happy with this score! I'll go with the "make up your mind" bonus
-
I don’t know what genre it is, internet says it atmospheric sludge/progressive metal and I’m so glad it’s not as any of these genres. It’s definitely atmospheric and sludgy but there’s safe dose of melodies as well.
This song was one of my favorites in this round from the beginning, I hope their other songs are in similar style.
I would describe them a mix of doom metal and post-metal, with occasional melodeath-y moments (not prog in the slightest, people in general just don't know what post-rock is). They do a variety of doom that incorporates sludge, though they don't get super slow or anything. Anathema and Katatonia being among your favourite bands actually inspired the submission.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure the chorus of Tin Foil Hats goes "The clouds will part the sky, the sunshine's on my face". Luke probably played Up and Atom, which is my least favourite off the album :lol I'd just call it metalgaze.

Hell yeah! I had a feeling you'd like this. I basically went on the fact that you like Woods of Ypres :tup I'll try to keep it up but I inevitably start sucking at roulettes somewhere (or from the off).
It’s get the same score as that Turisas song but I like this one little more and that makes it your best submission so far :tup Keep it up!
Regarding this ^
If this song was better then feel free to give it a 8.75 then :lol

Yea I did play 'Up and Atom' in the plug.dj, it is my favourite but I pretty much love the whole album. Tomislav, glad you like the one Elite sent and you should definitely check out the album :metal
-
I can't, there is no 8.75 in this roulette :P there should've been 0.25 increments tho, this is the lesson for v2.

I'll take it. Will send something tomorrrow!
Also I want to check out the Astronoid album, your writeup has intrigued me
-
the astronoid album seems like something you'd love tbh, i'm surprised you haven't already checked it out
i think it can be a bit samey but it's only 50 minutes so it doesn't overstay its welcome and it's a cool sound
i've only, listened to it, like 3 times in total though so
-
Figured that just sending you a bunch of depressing stuff would get kind of old.
Both that album (Nothing Is Sound) and the previous one (Beautiful Letdown) are fantastic, but if you didn't dig that song, I don't know whether they'd do much for you.

Here they are, finally! This was hard round to score because of its consistency so there are no big differences again and standings are almost the same :lol
Round 6 Results
Scar: Dracovallis - The Summoning
I already feel bad for scoring you the lowest again but can’t do anything about it. This song is, in short, generic epic metal song. Other than that, it’s (almost) instrumental, and I usually don’t get into them easily. Actually, this has some choir chanting but that’s usually miss for me. It starts very nice but it lose its potential pretty fast with that choir. However, not to be negative, this is still a good song, there are some dope riffs, like the one at the 2:45, and it’s used again later in the song. Too bad there’s no longer solo based on it. That part with strings and bass is cool as well (until choir doesn’t come in).
I would maybe listen to this kind of song while studying if I’m bored with that atmospheric stuff I sometimes listen to but I wouldn’t listen to it on regular basis.
6.5/10
Scorpion: UneXpect - Unfed Pendulum
Oh, Scorp, I feel so bad about this… but I can’t help it. I have to be honest, on my first listen I didn’t get this song at all. It grew on me but not enough to get a decent score. There are parts of it that are great but also parts I don’t like. At the moments it’s just too weird for me to get into it. My favorite part is that ‘breakdown’ and short guitar solo around 5:00. I feel like I will stumble upon this again sometimes and kick myself for not loving it from beginning. Again, it’s not bad at all, just weird, can’t fully get into it.
7/10
Sacul: Hooverphonic - 2wicky
So I got a trip-hop from you, what a surprise :P This song was one of the hardest to score because it’s not that I don’t like it but I don’t think I would ever listened to it more than once if I didn’t had to for this roulette. Actually, that was a good thing, it grew on me with multiple listens (as always). There’s classic trip-hop beat and bass riff throughout the song which of course add to the trippiness. Another repetitive thing is that cool guitar riff in the second part of the song. But to me, the most interesting thing is the girl’s voice. If there was someone else instead of her, I think I would like the song less. Her timbre definitely makes the song even more atmospheric.
As I said, the song is ok but I don’t think I will listen to it anymore, maybe if I decide to really get deep into trip-hop but with amount of music that’s on my wishlist right now, I don’t think that’s likely to happen soon :P
7/10
Luoto: Anthriel - Haven of Grace
You can probably guess the first thing this song made me think of was Symphony X. I like them very much but similarity can be double-edged sword in some situations because of comparisons I (unwillingly) made. I love how piano is subtly used in heavier parts of the song and, with some of guitar riffs (4:17 :metal), it’s my favorite thing about this song. Singer voice is very good in lower register but unfortunately I don’t like his higher voice most of the time.
I have hard time writing about this song, maybe because of the same reason why I didn’t give it higher score. I feel like I heard it all somewhere before, it’s not very original. But it’s pretty good song nevertheless.
7.5/10
twosuitsluke: Chthonic - Supreme Pain for the Tyrant
Yeah, this is the heaviest song you sent so far. I think I actually heard of them in some other roulette, their name is pretty specific :P but I never heard them before. It’s heavy from the beginning, drum fills are especially sick, and of course that growl is very distinctive. But to be honest, I wouldn’t like this song this much if there weren’t nods of Asian music with their instruments (I believe there are more than one or do it sound different played with bow and plucked?). I would like if it was used even more often and I’m ready to check them out further if those instruments are used. And about concept of the song and video, that’s sick :metal: I saw the press said China is afraid of singer due to his political views after he was elected :tup
This song is really really great but I can’t score it higher, maybe I’m just not in the mood for something so heavy these days so I had hard time fully getting into it but, as I said, I’m ready to check them out further.
7.5/10
home: Sleep Party People - Change in Time
As I said to you, I was aware of this band even before this thanks to Spotify’s Discover Weekly. They recommended me their I’m Not Human At All and I saved it on one of my playlist (Discoveries) and sometimes when I’m bored I listen to those. All three songs I heard from them really fit the name of the band :lol it’s the music to relax and chill and I guess you have to be in certain mood to listen to them. This one (and Shadow Ninja’s song) were my favorites to listen to after I came from lecture tired and wanted to just chill.
As I said to you in PM on first impression, I just love that keyboard tone (not just in this song but everywhere I hear it). You scored with this song once again, I love when the song is this atmospheric and emotional. This is the music for which saying it makes me sleep is a positive thing. My favorite part of the song is that noisy part at the end, especially the thick bass and swirling keys.
8/10
Shadow Ninja 2.0: Sleep Party People - Floating Blood of Mine
Figured that just sending you a bunch of depressing stuff would get kind of old.
-.-
(Check home’s song write-up for intro facts :P)
Right from the beginning this one reminded me of Myth by Beach House Scar sent in round 2, really dreamy song. I love that atmospheric bass line that goes on for the almost whole song. Singer’s voice is very weird but I can’t really imagine what would fit better with this music and it especially shows in chorus, everything just match wonderfully. Don’t know if you knew I like voice samples in songs but I would prefer they weren’t here because I don’t feel they add anything to the song but it’s fine.
Definitely will check this band further. P.S. I like this song a little more than Change in Time :P (sorry home)
8/10
Evermind: Avatarium - Lady in the Lamp
When you said this is female fronted doom metal I expected something very different, like old school doom in vein of Candlemass with female operatic vocals. I'm so glad this is nothing like it. I don't know what they usually sound like, maybe more to similar to what I described than to this song you sent. But I'll figure it in time, this is going on my list to check out. Playing in this song is nothing weird, classic slightly distorted guitar, cool bass and drumming and it successfully fits the song. After all, it's singer in the spotlight here. And she is really awesome, her voice is really warm and nice to listen to but also very powerful later in the song. My favorite part of the song is the climax, when she belts out that 'OooOooh' and guitar solo after it. Firsts part of the solo is very Gilmourish and later it gets into shredding territory, not a bad thing here because it sounds great. It is actually one of my favorite solos I got so far in this roulette.
Yeah, this is a great song, nothing bad about it, it just lacks wow factor to get higher score. Still, I think this is more than decent (because 7.5 is decent :P ).
8/10
Parama: Aenaon - Oneirodynia
Name of this song reflects how weird it is :P. Never heard of them before but I knew it was heavy because you said it, nothing else. It escalates quickly, after quiet acoustic intro there are blast beats, growls and heavy riffs, that scared the shit out of me. First thing this reminded me of is Primordial but there is some jazzy sax and that alone makes it better than anything from Primordial I heard before. In fact, I love that bit with saxophone and (almost) spoken vocals. Other thing that reminded me of Primordial is singer’s voice, don’t know maybe it’s just me but it seems pretty similar. And there’s something cool about it, like he’s going into it with everything he’s got which give epic results.
You are pretty much the most consistent participant in this roulette, you never failed but you never hit 8.5 or 9 either. Well, this was pretty close and it’s (with The Apologist, can’t decide which is better) your best entry so far.
8/10
Elite: Anciients - The Longest River
This band was on my radar for quite some time, especially after they released the new album in 2016 and some of you were playing songs off it on plug.dj. So I was kinda ready for it and I knew what to expect and I got what I’ve expected. I remember that on my first listen I got Mastodon fell from it. There’s nothing that makes me go: ‘Mastodon ripoff!’ or something like it but it hear something in riffing and structure that makes me think of Mastodon. And that’s always good thing for me, I love Mastodon. Another clear influence is Metallica. Again, there are no similar riffs but there’s something in this song. So, I can imagine myself getting into this stuff. Riffs are absolutely bone-crushing, supported by heavy drumming and everything sound really huge. The only thing that will take some time to get into, I feel, are the vocals. I don’t dislike them but I don’t love them either.
Really great song, it was my favorite of the round on first listen, too bad it didn’t grow on me even more.
8/10
Train of Naught: Rishloo - Just a Ride
This is one of the bands I expected to get, especially after Karnivool scoring pretty high in last round. I know both of those bands are compared to Tool but fortunately neither of those two songs I heard reminded me of Tool. Even though this song feels very emotional, I didn’t cry my guts out to it :lol I just love this kind of songs and I guess you realized it after Fair to Midland and Karnivool getting high scores. This progressive but not wanky music is really my thing lately so keep it coming. I can’t even describe why I like this song but I do, very much :P There is just something about it, combination of music and his voice that leaves emotional impact. And it is pretty catchy, as well.
Once again, you are the winner of the best song of the round title :tup you can choose your bonus.

It's always 7.5 :P
-
I'm never gonna catch up to train and kick him out of the top 3 at this rate
Gotta pull out
A bad song and score 9/10
-
Awesome, glad you liked :angel: Fair to Midland prompted me to send this yeah, don't really see the Karnivool comparison but I've heard it before
I'm probably going with the two-song bonus but I have to check my options first.
-
You don't have a lot of options. ha!
Glad you liked it. Now, how many people in the EP round? I need to be in there.
-
Now, how many people in the EP round? I need to be in there.
I decided to let 4 people in after all, the more the merrier.
I should write EP rules soon but I think there won't be anything weird or different than in other roulettes.
-
So with the one-two punch bonus, is the length limit of the two sogns combined still 12 minutes, or 24?
I still have one opportunity to send a long song anyway but I'd like to save that in case I want to send an epic for the last round.

I think I originally meant 12 minutes but that seems stupid now :P Make it reasonable and I'll save you 12+ minutes song for the last round.
-
Sweet. I already just sent you on Spotify and the songs I picked don't even reach 12 minutes so it's fine anyway.
Unless you have to reject the submission :corn

Something happened to my Spotify client, there's no messages icon so I can't reply there :eek but I found a way to read your message and you don't need to resend, I don't remember it at all :P
-
i sent for round 7.5
-
Don't want to repeat a mistake from last round, I'd like to remind you to send as soon as possible :biggrin:
-
Yep, I'll probably send tomorrow.
-
Nice! About what I expected based on your first impressions :azn:
I'll also probably send tomorrow, already picked an artist but still need to decide on a song.
-
i already did send, and it's a classic. gonna get 7.5/10 like a pro
-
Sent a roulette nightmare.
-
wow, i can;t believe it, you sent me in song form
-
wow, i can;t believe it, you sent me in song form
Except I had to resend ::)
-
what was it :lol
-
It was a song off the latest Thrawsunblat album. They're sort of a Woods of Ypres spin-off so it figures he had checked it out :P
-
Actually, it was Parama - 7.5
-
dammit i was planning on sending that in round 8/10
-
Sent for another 7.5!
-
Replaced it with one of the oldest songs I've sent in a roulette.
-
I'm planning to send tomorrow, just badger me if I forget :biggrin:
-
Just sent trough Spotify, sorry for the delay
-

Does anyone else miss messages icon in Spotify? :huh:
EDIT: It looks like soon it won't be possible to send messages through Spotify at all. Weird choice.
-

What the fuck? That's one of its best features...
-
Still there for me, but it wouldn't surprise me. I remember like a year ago they removed the lyrics feature as well which was one of my favourite features :facepalm:
I honestly rarely use the spotify messenger thing outside of roulettes though as I don't have a lot of Spotify-friends, and if I want to share something I tend to just send a spotify link through Facebook messenger or web.whatsapp.
-
There was something else they removed a couple of years ago too that irritated me at the time, but I've already forgotten what it was. :lol There were a lot of add-on apps for it at one point aswell but they cut that before I started using it.
On the other hand, I can't remember the last time they actually added something substantial to it, though, which is something that makes the constant removal of features a little more annoying.
Edit: Their justification for removing the messaging feature was that it wasn't utilised by the majority of users, and "the manpower required to maintain it doesn’t merit keeping it running". The fuck? :lol
-
Hahaha "manpower required to maintain it", that's an overstatement if I've ever seen one.
-
I'm just imagining a couple of guys sitting at computers typing away all day every day to make a fucking messaging system work. :lol
-
I assume messaging feature didn't work as it should have so they decided to drop it instead of fixing it.
EDIT: At least web player is not in flash anymore...
-
Sent a band that I've only just discovered recently, thanks to someone who is participating in this roulette :justjen

I'm all for appreciating album art but that is a pretty useless function when you can just use google images if you want to stare at the album art whilst listening!

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. I can taste the 7.5 :corn
-
Just so you know, Scar hasn't been online in 4 days, so you might as well just go ahead and start the next round with hangmanens :biggrin:
-
Yeah, I wanted to but I was too lazy :P tomorrow, hopefully. I have a big pause between lectures tomorrow so it depends will I be on my laptop then or not. Also, my earphones broke yesterday :( and I'm not carrying big over-ear headphones on college with me so I won't be listening until evening . I was in store looking for same pair and they ordered it for me but didn't get it today.

-
i have blind faythe that we won't see scar nor angel of serah ferron ever again, my sacrificed sons
But how? :o
-
I have a GREAT idea!
Since after Tomislav's roulette, we won't have any new roulettes coming up, we should invite all of Scar's accounts to participate in his own (incomplete) roulette. No one but his accounts are allowed in, and we are all spectators (and have permission to partake in hangmanen).

I'm glad this thread became more active in lack of hangmanen :P I'd like to have Scar back, or this will be the second participant I'd lose (they both left because of how bad this roulette is, I know :()

Wreck of SS Needle is a great choice. I'm not a big fan of Cult of Luna generally, but Julie Christmas really tears it up on that track.

which means i'll be sending an ep even if i get cut :P

Frightened Rabbit - Death Dream

i hope the ep round time limit is 40 minutes because i put together a really good one that's just shy of 40 minutes :corn
like i'm as happy with this one as i was with home's tbh, though none of the individual songs are as good as stenian so they'd all get 7.5/10 here

Have you decided on the ep round rules though? :corn
wanna make sure it isn't too long but if it is i can cut out one of the songs I think
or I can get cut so I don't have to play to the rules and send it anyways

Hope you like it, some national pride there. Very atmospheric and chill album, I love it.

You sent Coheed & Cheese so it's pretty much a given that you're going to get cut
-
Still didn't decided about rules :lol Do you want to send 40+ minutes EP?
-
nah mine is 8 seconds under 40 mins :P
to be honest the ep is more to my taste than tomislav's probably but that's how I make all my eps and it usually turns out alright, and I'm really pleased about this one too, it's good but evermind would hate it

You sent Coheed & Cheese so it's pretty much a given that you're going to get cut
I nearly rage quit over this comment. If you want to insult Parama then fine, but don't bring Coheed into this!

nah mine is 8 seconds under 40 mins :P
to be honest the ep is more to my taste than tomislav's probably but that's how I make all my eps and it usually turns out alright, and I'm really pleased about this one too, it's good but evermind would hate it
I think that will be fine.
BTW this is not the last round.

Hey I didn't start it, it was Evermind who started with this nickname, though looking at it now he formulated it as "Cheese and Cambria"
I've listed TDH and Cheese and Cambria as the examples of other multiple albums rock operas, and from what I've heard, the plot is much more intricate and difficult to follow from the albums' liner notes.
However, he seems to have edited it back to Coheed and Cambria so maybe someone (you?) threatened him to.
I would start working on the EP, but I have no idea how Slice the Kek will fare. Scores are still incredibly close.
-
I accidentally made my ep yesterday & wanted to send to tomislav regardless of whether or not i got cut so it works out for me either way
Coheed is kinda cheesy to be fair but not power metal levels of cheesy so :loser:

It just spontaneously happened tbh
I was just sitting at my computer like "man these songs go well together, I should use them" and then "ooh this would make a good closer" and "oh wow that song transitions perfectly in and out of these two I definitely wanna use it" and then I had a 39:52 ep somehow

Round 7 Results
Luoto: Insomnium – Drawn to Black
You can say the round is awesome when songs like this is my least favorite :P It is just what good melodeath needs: brutal growls, catchy melodies and great guitar tone. I especially like this kind of growls and the fact music stays very heavy with those catchy melodies (something most melodic death metal band I know don't succeed with). The problem of this song is that it doesn't really grab me at any moment. I would like to like it even more but I just can't, it's good but not great.
Lately it's been hard for me to find melodic death metal I like and, while I don't love this, it has the potential to make me check it out.
7/10
Scorpion: Oceans of Slumber - ...This Road
I love the piano in this song, it's just beautiful and sets the mood for the rest of the song. It fits the voice really well, playing some cool stuff in short vocal breaks. I don't think I really need to adress the singer, she sounds great. One of my favorite things is the transition to the heavier part, especially her singing in that part. To be honest, I don't like it that much when it gets 'more complex'. Don't get me wrong, it's still great, just I liked the first few minutes more. And my favorite thing about this is the singer, she has a beutiful voice.
Even though it didn't fully convince me, I'd still like to hear this album, mostly because of the singer.
7.5/10
Elite: Cult of Luna (feat. Julie Christmas) - The Wreck of S.S. Needle
And here comes the song which gave me real headache because I had no idea how to score it. Firstly, that lady is awesome! I heard some other female screamers/growlers/whatever but none of them really preserve their 'femininity' while screaming. This is really cool style because it sounds really emotional and powerful (I just hope she is fine after so much screaming). On the other hand, I have the same problem with this as with most music in this style. I just can't connect with it and usually there's not enough interesting things happening to justify the length. But when it's good it's really good. And that's mostly when Julie is singing. Just to mention a few moments: first time she starts screaming and those long 'ruuuuun's :P
This was almost 8 but just almost, I'm usually not too crazy about this style but this was damn fine.
7.5/10
Sacul: Gustavo Cerati – Perdonar Es Divino
I wasn't really a fan of this for a first few listens. What made me change my mind was chorus. After that every piece of the puzzle started to come together. Chorus is still my favorite but verses are very beautiful as well. Instrumental gets a little boring after a while though but I understand it is not the main focus of the song, it succeeded in making the song atmospheric. Don't know what else to say :lol It's a fine song. Maybe if I did a few more listens, it would get higher score :-\
Not knowing one word of Spanish didn't prevent me from singing it :P 'a mi me es facil olvidar'.
7.5/10
twosuitsluke: Pressure Points – Between the Lies
I don't know if you're aware of this, props to you if this was intentional, I love when piano is mixed with heavy music. It makes me headbang and feel at the same time :D One of the best parts of the song starts at 1:21, I like to call it 'water level' part :lol It really sounds like it could be the water level in, let's say, Donkey Kong. No matter how good growls are, I, again, like cleans more. There is something about it, I really like his cleans. Another high point of the song is guitar tone, real chocholate cake, in both riffs and that cool solo at the end.
To be honest, I was thinking wheter to give it 7.5 or 8 but last listen was really important for me to give it a higher score, this is a fine piece of music :tup
8/10
Train of Naught: Slice the Cake – Westward Bound Part I: The Lantern / Part 2: The Pilgrim's Progress
As you know, I heard this album once before but I didn't remember anything about it beside being very noisy :P Thing I love about this are the progressions, how it starts pretty mellow, almost bluesy but then explode and gets brutal. Singer's voice is the huge factor in that as well. I think you said before that his voice is really emotional and I hear it here. To be honest, it's rare thing to hear someone sounding so genuine while screaming. Also, those blast beats are perfectly incorporated here (and I don't love them usually). And yes, transition between parts is really smooth, good thing you sent something like this, make it easier to score. BTW I like first part more :P
This definitely convinced me to get into it. It's still noisy and sometime almost overly complicated but it's unlike anything I've heard so it's not weird I'm not completely into in from the start.
8/10
Evermind: Flaming Row – Rage of Despair
I have to admit, on my first listen, I didn't like this song very much. Can't say why, really, maybe beacuse it a lot to proccess, with all different parts and singers (even though it's under 6 minutes long). I couldn't believe you listen to something with such growls :P they are pretty brutal, but to me clean vocals are where this song shines. Especially during chorus (that vibrato on word 'raaaage' may be one of my favorite things about this song, no matter how unsiginificant it might seem). Solo part is cool, too, that slower melodic part reminds me of some other song (but I can't place it ???).
This is a really catchy song, I like the way every singer is used and I'd like to check this album out. There are no negative things to say about it, I just don't love it enough for higher score :P
8/10
home: Olafur Arnalds & Arnor Dan – Old Skin
Oh boy, do I love his voice. Maybe you know I saw Agent Fresco last year in small venue with not much people. It was very intimate concert and it made me love this guys and Arnor's voice. This almost sound like some of their interlude songs, minus orchestral parts so that was a big plus. My favorite part of the song is, again, chorus. It is one of those choruses which get in the ear and make me hum it all day. And it didn't bore me at all :P
Beautiful song, you made a good call with it but I understand if you wasn't sure about it, it wasn't really a love on the first listen.
8/10
Parama: Coheed and Cambria – In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3
Here is the band I expected (and wanted) to get in this roulette because I hear a lot about them here. I know their first album and I kinda like it but I know it's not similar to their latter albums. The vocals in this song are more 'normal', I think, then other songs I heard. I know many people have problem with his voice but I don't hear anything weird about him in this song. There is a cerain charm in somewhat unusal phrasing ('soon' in chorus, for example). This song is very catchy, it made me sing along from the second time I heard it :lol or should I say hum along or whatever, since I didn't know lyrics. Just when I though the song is over there is a great anthemic part (I call it Heaven Can Wait part), pretty sweet. The only thing I kinda dislike is distorted guitar tone but I can get over it.
Your best song so far :tup
8.5/10
Shadow Ninja 2.0: Frightened Rabbit – Death Dream
You've made it once again :P This is one of those song for which I find hard to explain why I love it so much. I'll try to explain it in few sentences though. Music and vocals are just perfect together. In other context, maybe I wouldn't like his voice that much. And it all fits perfectly with the lyrics, together creating a very sad, but at the same time powerful picture. I don't have to even say that I love those harmonies later in the song. When used well, those make the songs for me (see Heartattack in a Layby). What else to say, I love depressing songs :lol This was even close to being 9.5 but in the end I wanted to stay consistent, when I compared it to other 9s it seemed fine.
You get another bonus, the only one left, if you want. To me, it seems like you already have an idea what my favorite songs are :P
9/10
STANDINGS:
1. Shadow Ninja 2.0 - 57.5 + 1 = 58.5
2. home - 56
2. Train of Naught - 56
4. Parama - 55
5. Elite - 54.50001
6. twosuitsluke - 54
7. Evermind - 53
7. Luoto - 53
9. Sacul - 52.5
10. Scorpion - 50.5
As you can see, there's been one significant change in standings, Parama is in front of Elite now.
This is the last regular round, round 9 is EP round for first 4 participants. I'll try to write up some rules for EP round soon.

Actually a little disappointed I didn't get a 7.5 or 8 now but also happy that I finally sent something you actually liked :lol
Time to blow it then.
Also this road isn't even one of the best tracks off that album imo, weird choice

I think Scorp intentionally want me to score his submission low, makes it easier to hate me :P

Gotta find one of my good 9.5's or 10's to send you now :corn
And watch it get severely underrated
-
Sacul gets 7.5 hell yeah.
-
sent my final entry :tup
-
I'll take it. I didn't actually know that you love piano with your heavy music, that was a fluke. It's a really cool album and I highly recommend it.
I'm really happy you liked Coheed too. I have been planning to send them but didn't, good choice by Parama. This was in the running for the Coheed song I was thinking of sending so it deserves that 8.5. Just kicking myself for not sending it sooner :lol
-
man i can't believe i'm gonna have to wait like 2 weeks to send you this ep. it's so good i'm so happy with it. and there's 4 of 5 songs here by bands i've never sent in any roulette & as well only band someone else miiiight maaayyybe send but probably not
also yes, 5 song ep as usual
i've lsitened to it like 5-6 times already haha
-
Booooo
-
you just have to send a son a half point better than mine, y'know :P
which should be easy since i sent a 7.5
-
Slice the Eight
Sent for round 8, let's see if this traincore will help me get a spot in the EP round. I have no clue how to construct an EP for this roulette, I kind of know tomi's tastes but they're not exactly alligned with mine so it's hard to find good shit. One of the few roulettes where I didn't put a lot of thought into sending to be honest, mostly just sent songs I really like, which up until now seems to work fine for SN as well
-
what is "traincore" anyways :lol
-
Steven Wilson is traincore, I guess ???
-
you just have to send a son a half point better than mine, y'know :P

I sent a 7.5 last round too.
Damn though, I was in the top 4 for most of the roulette after starting nowhere. I'll have to send something good then.
-
Well I guess I can go a bit YOLO now on the last round if I so desire :P I'm glad you liked the Pressure Points song though, and I highly recommend False Lights based on that write-up. One thing I'll say is that a total of four different guys are doing clean vocals on that album, and that song actually has a guest vocalist on the mellow middle section. I guess the vocal recordings of that album were a bit of a mishmash because of line-up changes, but it works.
-
Also this road isn't even one of the best tracks off that album imo, weird choice
lol 7.5 isn't bad at all, that doesn't mean I don't like the song.

Nah, I'm still trying to send stuff you'll love, I'm just apparently abysmal about it.
Oh well.
-
Steven Wilson is traincore, I guess ???
as long as it's not one of the bands on my ep :corn
-
Alright, I'm out after the next round anyway, so I'll just send something real quick.
Actually, do you know what, I just realized I can send you one song longer than 12 minutes, so that's what I'm going to do.
-
Great! ;D The main reason I was not too sure about this song was you not liking For Now I Am Winter too much but I'm really glad I stuck with this song. (and I didn't knew you liked Arnor Dan :laugh:) I'll try to send today or tomorrow :azn:
-
Old Skin is really good and I probably wouldn't have ever though to send it so yeah this was a good round :tup
-
Sent another dreamy song, I don't think this band has ever been sent in a roulette I participated in before.
I really hope I'm not screwing up my score now, there are a few bands I sent nearly every roulette I didn't sent in in this that I think you might enjoy. :azn:
-
7.5 out of 10
I'm gonna cry if someone sends the one artist on my ep anyone has any chance at all of sending though I'm seriously stressing out about it haha :lol
if they do I hope I get cut so I don't have to follow the rules and can send them anyways
-
4 songs already in, keep 'em coming :azn:
-
I'll try and send tonight.
There are a few bands I could think of that may be cock blocking Parama but I doubt I'm going to send them anyway..........
....or am I?
-
there's literally only one band you could cockblock me on and you won't send them, so go for it
-
there's literally only one band you could cockblock me on and you won't send them, so go for it
It's cool, my shortlist of bands is down to 11 and only 3 of them get mentioned around here. I know you have sent one of those bands a few times in the past so that is the only one I could see being on your EP.
-
PM me the band and I'll tell you whether or not i plan to send them :P
-
PM me the band and I'll tell you whether or not i plan to send them :P

Hey, glad you liked the song. I'll take whatever the bonus is, I suppose.

Nobody can even compete with SN at this point, highest song score average and a bonus point on top of that :lol
I just wanna send an EP and I'll be good
-
Hey, glad you liked the song. I'll take whatever the bonus is, I suppose.
The bonus is list of my favorite songs to help you know what kind of music I like :P

I'm actually on the list, but school and other stuff take up too much time at present for me to do it properly.
Might try over the summer.
-
I'm gonna try and run another this summer as well, should be good times
Though I really didn't end up with a lot of new stuff from my last roulette :lol

Sent something that will likely not be enough to get me through but who knows, maybe everyone will fail hard.
Fingers crossed.

I think the last band is Myrath, and a random guess that Twosuitsluke sent them.
David Bowie might be Sacul

Ooh yes, Myrath! Good catch, the song is Silent Cries

Let's see
Scorpion sent Myrath of course
Anomalie - Between Reality and the World Beyond (dunno, Luoto?)

You are right about Luoto sending Anomalie.

none of the bands i have on my EP were sent so i'm going to go ahead and send it to you now is that ok :corn
-
I didn't put rules together yet but ok :P there are no real rules anyway lol
-
BTW Bolsters, do you have information when was the last time there were no active roulettes? Because that's what'll happen after this is over :'(
I did notice that. I'd have to check the archive for any gaps in the days before my time (2010-2012), but I have a feeling that this could be the first time since 2010 that there won't be any new roulettes starting before the last ends. :-\
If I get bored one day I might check the archive for confirmation.
-
I'd like to run one next, if that's okay.
If there are still people left playing, that is.
-
:metal
-
I'd like to run one next, if that's okay.
There's no waiting list, so you're automatically up. :lol
If you're actually ready now, no need to wait for this roulette to end first, either.
-
EP rules:
- EP have to be between 25 and 40 minutes long (I could allow a few seconds over 40 minutes)
- Minimum 3 different artists; I think this is reasonable, I don't want to get one band EP :P
- EP round is worth 30 points total: 5 for flow and 25 for the songs
- Every song is scored out of 10 as usual, average score is scaled up to 25 points
- I don't care if transitions aren't smooth, flow points are more about how good those songs sound next to each other
- The most important thing: make it good :P
If you think I forgot something or if there's something wrong about rules, let me know to change it while I can.
-
Very glad about the "don't care if transitions aren't smooth" cause I don't really feel like going audacity and adding crossfades and shit this time around.
I must admit, I too have already been working on ideas before even securing my final spot :lol so I'm putting the EP(s) (got 2 possible routes right now) out there whether you like it or not
-
I'd like to run one next, if that's okay.
If there are still people left playing, that is.
start it literally right now, dude, go for it
also my transitions are fantastic this time but also the songs all belong together anyways so i'm expecting a 5/5 for flow :corn
-
Yeah, it's good if transitions are fantastic but it won't affect your score if they aren't. What may affect your scores is Parama's (or anyone else's) transitions being so noticeably good I have to deduct some points from others :lol
-
the transitions between tracks 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 are both so good you'd think they belonged to the same album
anyways i'm going to send a meme EP for april fools real quick, take it seriously & score it & whatever else
-
I'll write up the OP tonight or tomorrow.

Tidbits! Try to find yours if you wish :corn
At first I thought this is not the music for this time of the year but it already proved it could be a grower.
I don’t know what to think about it, I’m not sure if this is the music I want to listen to. And I don’t think that in a bad sense, it’s just weird to me.
I can’t believe something like this still can make me excited. It not being most typical {genre} song is probably the part of it.
This song kinda goes all over the place and it is the most enjoyable when it gets to the point.
I feel this one is going to be grower but it really depends on the context and my state of mind while listening to it. Songs like this sometimes get on my nerves so let’s hope I’ll be in the mood for it on last listen :P
Uh this does so little for me that it seems impossible to rate :-\
For some reason, I expected this to sound a little different and I’m glad it sounds like it does.
I don’t think anyone knows this (because no one sent something like this before), this is right up my alley and you are onto something here.
Very inconsistent song, there are parts I love and parts I don’t like at all.
This song makes me remember why I like this kind of music. It is really special and nice and fun to listen to.
BTW I wrote this after just two listens so my opinion on some of them may have changed.
-
I don’t think anyone knows this (because no one sent something like this before), this is right up my alley and you are onto something here.
I hope this is mine, but it's probably one of the others. I haven't seen Spiritualized mentioned very often here, though I think Sacul listens to them :P
-
I did mention my song being (genre)-ish and not exactly typical to its peers, so those tidbits are intriguing.
-
Uh this does so little for me that it seems impossible to rate :-\
Definitely mine.
-
:lol
Don't be so pessimistic :P
-
sorry scorp that's mine
-
I'd say it's mine, but then almost all the tidbits could be mine, so I'm not sure.
-
I don’t know what to think about it, I’m not sure if this is the music I want to listen to. And I don’t think that in a bad sense, it’s just weird to me.
Might be mine.
-
for real;
1: maybe? it's a pretty wintery song imo and it's spring now so
2: doubt it
3: maybe. that'd be cool :P
4: definitely not
5: possibly but let's hope not
6: ouch, i sure hope not
7: dunno
8: don't think so
9: also no, my song has about 3 parts
10: fun is not the word i'd use so i doubt it
-
:corn :corn :corn
sorry I'm just excited / dreadnoughting results
-
I was planning to deliver results today and I did writeups for 3 songs but I'm just too tired, sorry.
-
no worries take all the time you need
-
Here it is, last round for some of you :'( it was pretty diverse round and there are many good scores and more than usual not so good scores.
BEWARE: write-ups order is not the usual
Round 8 Results
#10: Scorpion
Wilderun - The Garden of Fire
I had a hard time getting into this, for some reason. Transitions in this songs are somewhat weird, I didn’t know what’s happening :lol in one moments it’s folky, in other more of a black metal. On average, I liked folky parts more but there are some great heavy parts as well. My favorite part of the song comes after silence around 2:00, both vocally and instrumentally the best part. There are also some interesting acoustic folk parts. I especially like when that melody played on acoustic is later played on electric, sounds pretty epic. As a whole, this seemed a little unfocused to me, like it’s made out of more songs (I should be used to this, considering I’m prog fan :P ) but it’s pretty good.
7.5/10
I really feel like you hate me for giving not so good scores to some of your favorite songs :-\ Your peak was definitely in the first round with Katy Song, I listened to it many times since round 1 and it just gets better. I even checked that album out but it was too much to digest, an hour of the most depressing music ever. Unfortunately, nothing else really hit me. Thrice is very cool, Beggars just wasn't the best song I heard from them. I was glad to have you and I hope you won't hate me and you'll play in my v2 some day :P
TOTAL: 58 points
#9: Sacul
Shearwater – The Snow Leopard
Maybe it's because of the title but this sounds very winter-y even though indie is my spring music :P
The beginning is really beautiful, piano and his quiet voice. There, I love his voice. Contrary, on louder part of the song I don't like it that much, he sounds like shouting too much and he holds that vibrato for too long :lol Instrumental part is great, sounds like soundtrack to looking out of the window when there's cold outside. I don't know, I like it but I'd probably like it more if singer wasn't so dominant.
7/10
It's interesting how your best scored song was the one that was nothing like the music I listen to :lol yeah, it was really fun. I think you tried to hard with trip-hop, some of it was good, some less good, unfortunately, not much of it was really great to me. The only thing I think I rated too low was Sufjan Steven's song which is more of my kind of music so :lol I will definitely check some of the bands you sent though :tup
TOTAL: 59.5 points
#8: Luoto
Anomalie – Between Reality and the World Beyond
When you said you sent some black-ish metal, I was like: oh, no. Not because I think black metal sucks or anything but because of the fact there are many similar sounding bands and I don't think I need another black metal band. But I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. As you said, this isn't really typical song for the genre and it's not weird at all. There are some melodic black metal bands like Dissection which are kinda similar to this yet more black than this. My favorite thing about this song are the growls. Really really perfect growls, brutal yet at the same time pretty clear and comprehensive. Not my favorite thing is that the tempo is the same during the whole song and I feel some changes would make it better. This is definitely something I want to check out but I'll need to be in certain blackish mood.
8/10
So you've sent some really great songs. None of it was 8.5+ material but you've got four 8s and all of those songs are killer. I checked out Communic already and it is great stuff. My favorite of your songs is probably Aurora by Ghost Brigade and they are high on my wishlist. So yeah, great effort from you, thank you for participating :D
TOTAL: 61 points
#7: Evermind
Phideaux – Waining for the Axe to Fall
I was expecting to get this band from you :P they were on my wishlist (Doomsday Afternoon) for quite some time now but I never came to check them out. So this is very classic sounding prog rock and I’m glad I got something like this finally, I love prog rock. I don’t feel like getting into details of this long ass song so I’ll just say what my favorite parts are (there are no parts I dislike). Around 3:45 starts that cool piano-driven section and falsetto vocals come in later, those wacky parts is what makes symphonic prog so good to me. And again, around 6:13, the piano and catchy vocal melodies. There is just a bunch of those wacky and kinda wanky sections I love :lol Female vocals are little weird (or unusual) at moments but that’s what makes them cool in the context of this song. Another cool part is the reprise of the earlier part, just less “heavy”. That quiet part was necessary to refresh from earlier busy playing. I’d like it if there was heavier part, climax at the end but it’s cool.
This is easily my favorite song of yours, it was almost 9.
8.5/10
You hit the peak with this last round and you were actually pretty close to the line, too bad The Wishing Tree happened :'( Most of the other stuff was really great, like Vanden Plas and Flaming Row. Our tastes are not that similar except for a few meeting points so I guess you did pretty good. Thanks for some awesome music :tup
TOTAL: 61.5 points
#6: home
Spiritualized – Ladies and Gentlemen, We’re Floating in Space
Uh this is the song for which I said I have no idea how to score :-\ it has grown on me since but I still have a trouble saying anything about it and rating it. There were moments when I thought I finally get it, maybe when I was in mood for it, but I don’t think I do. The idea of having two separate vocal parts/harmonies played at the same time is really cool, there are some song using this technique I really love but this seems like 4 minutes of the same thing over and over. And also, I think I’d rather listen to just one of those tracks and that’s the one with "…All I want in life's a little bit of love, To take the pain away…"
I admit this is very emotional and there’re moments I feel it but I can’t justify score higher that this.
6.5/10
Man, I can't believe this really happened after so many great rounds :'( you started not so good and ended even worse. I was pretty sure you are going through but this last song just wasn't my taste. But, you've sent some of the best stuff of this roulette. I checked out two FtM albums already and there's not one song there I don't like, I think they're already becoming one of my favorite bands. Karnivool is great as well. I think you're the participant who sent me the most stuff which I'll end up loving so I feel so bad eliminating you but others were more consistent. Hope you don't hate me too much for this :(
TOTAL: 62.5
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shadow Ninja 2.0: Fever Ray – If I Had a Heart
I don’t know what to say about this :lol it is weird, that’s for sure. This sounds like ambient or something, which is pretty weird to listen next to other songs from the round. It has kind of tribal feeling which I like but there’s nothing else that sticks to me. I didn’t want to skip this track when it came when I was listening to the whole round, that’s a good thing to say, right :P On the other hand, it was always just a transition song, I didn’t get into it and I heard it many times. Sorry, this is easily my least favorite song you sent in this roulette. You shouldn’t be worrying though, there’re still a few more points you can afford to lose :P
6.5/10
Train of Naught: The Reign of Kindo – Romancing a Stranger
I can definitely see why you compared this to The Dear Hunter, it has that swing/jazz feeling some TDH songs have and singer’s voice sounds pretty similar to Casey’s. And yes, it sounds pretty upbeat but even if I wasn’t listening to lyrics I would probably realize this isn’t happy song, it’s just something about vocal melodies. Speaking of vocal melodies, I love them! The make the song very catchy and easy to listen to. Instrumentation is more bright than vocals and lyrics but they make a good combination together. I have to admit I needed some time to digest those jazzy moments, in the end I liked them too. Don’t have much to say really, this is pretty good and I think I’m going to check it out. I wasn’t sure what score to give it but after comparing it to other songs, I think this is fine.
7.5/10
Parama: Solsatfir – Djakninn
I used to listen to this band, 4-5 years ago when I was really into this kind of music. Never really get into them, I remember only 2 songs. It happens to me, I just stop listening to some bands and then I’m kicking myself when I rediscover the band :lol (recent example is dredg). This song is literally what progressive means, building and getting more and more rich and heavy. It is very interesting song, I’m still finding some things I didn’t catch on previous listens. My favorite moment is near the end when guitar gets crazy and atmospheric and drums are following it in being crazy. It just sounds so good. Sometimes it’s hard to listen to this, it’s not really in the easy-listening section but when I’m in mood for it, it is pretty great.
8/10
Elite: David Bowie – Life on Mars?
I head some Bowie before this, a few songs from his last album (which were pretty good but weird), heard the whole Ziggy album (I don’t really remember it) and I know Space Oddity, which is one of my favorite songs ever :lol it’s funny I never tried to get into his music considering my love for Space Oddity. Life on Mars? Is obviously from the same era, sharing some elements with it. To be honest, when you sent this I expected not to like it for some reason :lol but it is my kind of music, just no one sent something like this in roulette. Wakeman’s playing is nice as always but I like it more when he’s more in the background, he overplayed some parts a bit. Chorus is really great, it is a good kind of a earworm, I’m humming it all the time. I don’t think I did this song a justice, I like it more than I can show in the write-up because there’s not lot to say. It is great 70s pop song :tup
8.5/10
twosuitsluke: Myrath – Silent Cries
I heard of them before and I think someone played something by them on plug.dj. That led me to believe this band is much more folky and much more power metal sounding. There are both of those elements in Myrath but (fortunately) not in too big doses. Also, I know where they come from so I knew there will be some of those muslim(or whatever) melodies to which I cringe because there is type of music in some of the neighbour countries which are based on those kind of melodies :P forunately(again), they are incorporated well here that it doesn't remind me of earlier mentioned music at all. And I liked this song from the start and it just kept getting better. Chorus is really one of the best things I got out of this roulette, it is great to sing along. Also, there are some epic sounding tight riffs, very melodic and catchy stuff. That guitar solo is nice, too. I like how it's very classic sounding, like it could be in some older hard rock/heavy metal song. Will definitely check out more of Myrath, I'm really glad I was wrong about them.

You have realized 5 of you are advancing to the EP round, I just couldn't tweak the points to eliminate someone of you :lol I'm sure in my scoring this time, can't give anyone 0.5 more or less.
-
I should be in second place, given these scores, not in third :biggrin:
I'm glad you liked the Bowie song and glad the gamble payed off!
Cool, now let's find an EP for you!
-
I should be in second place, given these scores, not in third :biggrin:
Yeah, you should. But you don't have the given amount :biggrin:
-
ah damn! I was pretty sure I was going to make it to the EP round :loser: I did already made a mock up for an EP so if you ever have time and want to listen to that, I'll send it :P It does contain mostly songs I've send in other roulettes before, but I think there might be some songs in there you'll like. (I should have sent one of the songs on the mock-up EP instead of taking a gamble and sending spiritualized)
Thanks for hosting this roulette Tomislav! I'm glad you like Fair to Midland and Karnivool as those are two of my favourite bands :angel:
-
Yeah, sure, you can send it, I'm glad to discover even more new bands :tup
-
Well shit, I'm chuffed. I thought I had no chance of making it to the EP round so I have done zero prep :| I will get on it tonight. How long have I got to get you the EP dude?
Glad you liked Myrath, I only have that one album by them but it is great.
I have no idea what to put on this EP at all...
What is a good program to use to add cross fades etc and make the EP into one file guys?
-
EP rules:
- EP have to be between 25 and 40 minutes long (I could allow a few seconds over 40 minutes)
- Minimum 3 different artists; I think this is reasonable, I don't want to get one band EP :P
- EP round is worth 30 points total: 5 for flow and 25 for the songs

- I don't care if transitions aren't smooth, flow points are more about how good those songs sound next to each other
- The most important thing: make it good :P
You don't have to hurry. I yet have to send the bonus from last round for SN2 and I'm busy these days anyway.
BTW you can use Audacity for that if you want but as I said, I won't deduct flow points if transitions aren't smooth.
-
My EP has been sitting here waiting to be sent for a while but I'm going to let it rest and see if I can improve it a bit over the next few days.
With The Reign of Kindo I suggest checking out "Rhythm, Chord & Melody", way better album than the one this song is of as far as I'm concerned. It's a bit moodier but definitely more consistent, and I think you like moody more anyway. :P
EDIT: Oh yeah so Tomi, right now, would your favourite song of the roulette be Silent Cries or Just a Ride? Or some other song that has grown on you for whatever reason?
-
I don't hate you, I'm sorry if it came across this way. I'm just kinda frustrated that I can't seem to narrow down your tastes in any way.
Good luck to those remaining! :tup
-
i'd send you my ep, but i already did :corn
also kek 8/10 :neverusethis:
i hope my ep contains the first song you score 9 or higher, and the first you score under 7.5
-
EDIT: Oh yeah so Tomi, right now, would your favourite song of the roulette be Silent Cries or Just a Ride? Or some other song that has grown on you for whatever reason?
It's impossible to pick just one. Few of my close favorites are Sectarian, Just a Ride, Death Dream, Orphan Anthem and Silent Cries. Yes, two of those got only 8.5 :lol
-
I'm still in shock that I'm through to an EP round :lol and that I got a 9/10 for Myrath.
Tomi, is the 'banned during the roulette' list up to date? I'm going to start by making a list of all the bands I would even consider using on this EP and work from there.
Nice one :tup
-
Only the round 8 bands aren't there yet.

My EP is actually just the apologist in its entirety btw
(but seriously I am really happy with my ep but also doubt tomi will like it as much as I do)
-
EDIT: Oh yeah so Tomi, right now, would your favourite song of the roulette be Silent Cries or Just a Ride? Or some other song that has grown on you for whatever reason?
It's impossible to pick just one. Few of my close favorites are Sectarian, Just a Ride, Death Dream, Orphan Anthem and Silent Cries. Yes, two of those got only 8.5 :lol
How about that weird song of mine that somehow scored a 9? :lol
and; where is the option 'Scar' in the poll?
-
It's good but I got tired of it already :P
-
Elite I'm already in the poll
Wait I mean uhh
-
Elite I'm already in the poll
Wait I mean uhh
:omg:

:vomitard:

GWAR is my favorite out of the bands you sent, Parama :tup
-
:metal
-
When you said you sent some black-ish metal, I was like: oh, no. Not because I think black metal sucks or anything but because of the fact there are many similar sounding bands and I don't think I need another black metal band. But I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. As you said, this isn't really typical song for the genre and it's not weird at all. There are some melodic black metal bands like Dissection which are kinda similar to this yet more black than this. My favorite thing about this song are the growls. Really really perfect growls, brutal yet at the same time pretty clear and comprehensive. Not my favorite thing is that the tempo is the same during the whole song and I feel some changes would make it better. This is definitely something I want to check out but I'll need to be in certain blackish mood.
I could've gone for a more atmo-black option from that album but decided not to, it's varied but never loses the plot. Marrok has brilliant vocals indeed, and he actually recorded almost all instruments by himself on Refugium.
Thanks for hosting the roulette :)
By the way, a highlight was someone other than me sending Pressure Points :D
-
By the way, a highlight was someone other than me sending Pressure Points :D
Yeah, that's the same as someone other than me sending Redemption or Woods of Ypres :P
-
You shouldn't send redemption though :corn
-
:'(
I literally had nothing else to send
-

I literally had nothing else to send
Spotify on random.

Ok this EP is starting to take shape. Might even get it to you tonight :tup

It had to be epic long song with cowbell.
-
Oh.
-
*without
**with or without
:P
-
okay i went back and listened to my home EP again and no it's definitely better than this one but this is still a strong #2
how the hell did i make such a great EP for home. jesus christ. if i had something to replace the dissona track with it'd probably average at like 9.5/10 imo. this one's only like a 9 or 9.25 average which is still really good, but
-
I just spent like 5 minutes putting together my EP, so I think it's probably done. I'll listen through it once to see if it's good, and then send it regardless. :P
-
everyone else: "i threw some crap together and it's good"
me: "i obsessed over making my EP for a like a week and made it like a month in advance and it's bad & tomi will hate it"
:corn
-
Well, I didn't claim it was good. :P
I don't think additional deliberation would have affected the quality greatly, though.
-
I have created.
I have sent.
5th place here I come
TIME FOR HANGMANEN
-
Elite is the only one who didn't send yet, and I got one bonus EP (home's). Both having 6 EPs and exams in next few weeks won't help me in delivering results too soon :P I don't even remember, how long did EP round last in other roulettes?
-
I took like a month from receiving all EP's to delivering results for me!! I was mega busy and it took so much longer than I anticipated to give everything a fair listen.
I guarantee that you will deliver quicker than I did, so you are cool :corn
-
I just took a look at my latest roulette and it took me 9 days between posting the first hangmanen comment (which is likely the day I received the last EP) and posting the final results. :lol I think you can take some more time than that. Just, whenever you feel like you know all the songs well enough to be able to rank them individually from worst to best (the way I did in the EP round), I think that's the moment you can finallize EP scores and write-ups as well.
Also, re-sent EP because I'm an idiot and one of the bands (mind you, I had 3 minutes worth of music on my EP by this band) was banned. :lol
-
I am going to send mine tonight. I made a first draft last week (it was an hour long). I know what songs to remove and then I'll decide on a good track order. It will be here before I'm going to sleep tonight. Busy sunday ahead, so it will take a little :)
-
I've sent now but I'm not sure it actually worked. The file is too big to send via email and I'm not sure it worked with OneDrive. I'm super happy with my EP actually, even better than I anticipated it to be.
Looking forward to that hangman :corn
-
I'm so glad most of you are pretty serious about this and it looks like you care about sending good EP :tup
-
I'm so glad most of you are pretty serious about this and it looks like you care about sending good EP :tup
Yeah, extra emphasis on "most of you". Everyone but Parama seems to take this very serious, but I feel like he just crammed together some songs on a lazy afternoon and sent it right away without thinking
I actually think the best part about my EP is the title :lol
-
the album cover i made is not very good but i had the time to make it so i figured i might as well :P
-

Yeah I don't think Parama even listened to his EP once and he expect me to listen to it...
-
The bonus EP I sent is probably my favourite EP I sent in a roulette so far. It's also the most predictable since it are almost all songs I've sent before in roulettes. It's basically 50% of the EP I sent Parama but with a better middle part and better flow :P

Are you going to do the game where we have to guess which title belongs to which EP as well?

BRIIIIIING OOOOOONNN THE HANGMANEEEEENNNNNN
-

Yes.
BRIIIIIING OOOOOONNN THE HANGMANEEEEENNNNNN
Not now, sorry. It's very late and I still have some work to do.
-
fair enough, tomorrow then :lol
ironically the EP round is the round where everyone sent the quickest :P
-
I didn't have to thread title Elite wow :P
-
appreciate the vote of confidence from the poll though :metal
excited to hear everyone's EPs though, except home's since I've heard the best part of it already :P
-

There is one band on my EP that I know you like, other than that though I can't imagine you liking my EP, at all :lol
-
I wonder when we're getting hungmenan!
-
You can get it soon but I can't promise I'll update it frequently :\
-
home's EP has... Slowdive - Golden Hair on it, i am the best at hangmanen i win by default
-
Scar's EP contains The Grand Conjuration
Mine contains a song
-
i sent Angela's Got Your Back, it's so beautiful
-
I liked Serah Farron's Day Out better
-
the best part of that one is where it reprises Angela's Got Your Back imo
faythe needs glasses has an excellent intro tho
-
I'm wondering what songs others have sent.
-
I don't think I have sent any of the songs (or even bands) on my EP before in a roulette so it should be interesting. :corn But maybe I have, my memory is not that good

The three letter band could be XTC or ELO? Don't know any of their songs though

Oh yeah Awakening is sent by Parama
Man, Lazarus is such a fantastic album, it's still climbing my rankings. I'm really curious about how well that song fits into the EP
it fits in really well because my EP is perfect

for some reason, Earthside - Mob Mentality and La Dispute - King Park are back in the song list :lol
actually it looks like just a lot of things are wrong in general, that Entwine song got un-solved and Shels is back on the list too and
Painted Faces - Saint
-
Pete Yorn could be Shadow Ninja.
Second Person
Chelsea Wolfe
The Hirsch Effekt
-
In Mourning and Mr. Bungle are back in the list as well, unsolved
-
Oh yeah and In Mourning is obv Elite wtf
Why is this so obvious btw? :lol (apart from two people already wrongly guessed, which makes it stupidly easy indeed)
I too have used Spotify to find this out :lol :metal
Chelsea Wolfe - Carrion Flowers, this is like the ultimate EP song, I got it in my EP round as well
Also V please
-
Oh, The Hirsch Effekt, that's clearly Parama
-
Hangmanen fun!
Painted Faces (was guessed on the previous page) is in there twice
So they are likely on the same EP
Wild Throne - Shadow Deserts
And Entwine is probably sent by Luke with two different coloured suits
-
I've made a small program doing hangman for me back when roulette started but usually there weren't so many songs so I didn't have to delete guessed ones :lol
I think everything should be fine now.
And those still aren't Painted Faces...

It's Painted Wives

The Black Mages, first one, luke :hat but I have no idea about the song title or whatever comes after the /
Also the Hirsch Effekt song is Ira
It's Painted Wives
What a stupid name for a band :lol I looked it up and you're right, the songs are Saint and Dig
-
Ooooh, it's Painted Wives. One of the songs is called Dig.
Both are on Luke's EP, I guess.
Also, I have never heard of the band 'Elite: Thank You Scientist' :neverusethis:
-
Painted doves would've been a good band name tho
-
I was looking at doves, coves, olives, anything, until I found the right band.
-
The first EP title is SN2's, since it literally starts with "Shadow Ninjas", unless someone is trying to throw us off :|
Also the second to last word is "Depressing"

nah i already used that kind of name with home's EP and "siege of the superego"
I thought it tied in nicely with stuff like 'Reverberating Voices of the Celestial Choir'. That was you as well, right? :lol

I should check this sort of stuff before making claims :\
-
that one was me yeah
i'm disappointed that there doesn't seem to be any dredg on the song list though bcuz that ep sounds like it should have dredg on it

the Second Person song is 'Spilt Milk'

One of the ep titles starts with Stars.
Mum song is Green Grass of tunnel, shadow ninja sent it
-
Green Green Grass of Tunnel by Mûm, sent by Train perhaps?
The second title could start with Stars Collide. Stars Collide, Ever of Mind! or something?
And also the The EP of Death v. Tom is a something? cock? Tom is a Slav of course!
-
Tom is a Slav
Impossible, because S and A have already been guessed and they're not in that word.
Stars Collide, Ever of Mind!
Same thing, 'Collide' is impossible. 'Ever of Mind!' is fun though :lol

Tom is a Slav
Impossible, because S and A have already been guessed and they're not in that word.

maudlin song is Gleam in Ranks, Elite sent it
HOW DID YOU KNOW
-
I
am
also:
Euzen - The Stage
looks like a Shadow Ninja song
David Maxim Micic song is on Train's EP?
John Frusciante songs are probably Luke
Entwine song could be home
Painted Wives seems like it's definitely Luke
Chelsea Wolfe is home maybe?? i'd think this is Shadow Ninja but I already guessed that
London Grammar also seems like Shadow Ninja stuff
He Is Legend I guess could be Train's
Wild Throne sounds like Train stuff too
I dunno i'm taking shots in the dark here
-
Ooooh, it's Painted Wives. One of the songs is called Dig.
Both are on Luke's EP, I guess.
I already said the Painted Wives thing, but Tomi might have missed it
-
I
Guess this is an official guess but just re-quoting it to make sure tomi sees it
He Is Legend and Wild Throne are mine, yes
The second title could start with Stars Collide. Stars Collide, Ever of Mind! or something?
You got all the words wrong :lol even "of". But I like the originality
David Maxim Micic is possibly home? I did have him on my EP but removed him later, it was also off a different album (I planned Stardust) and completely different from anything that's on my EP now
-
The second title could start with Stars Collide. Stars Collide, Ever of Mind! or something?
You got all the words wrong :lol even "of". But I like the originality
Is it yours then?

I'm at a loss trying to guess these last few, just wanma let you guys know that my EP has completely been guessed now and the tracklist is (I believe) in the same order tomi listed them. I didnt create separate files for them so if youre curious you can just listen to them on spotify (dont think the vangough song is on YT).
-
uhh I dunno then. Dommin is Luke? Entwine is Elite? Biffy Clyro is Shadow Ninja?
i'm actually surprised one of mine hasn't been guessed yet, i've played the song a number of times in plug.dj before :corn
-
Cobalt - Witherer
-
Something by Cobalt, maybe?
^that's Parama
alright:
Xantochroid is Parama
London Grammar is home (?)
the unguessed one ending in 'Dae' is Parama
Biffy Clyro is Shadow Ninja
Dommin x2 is Luke
Entwine is Luke
----
Like Train's, my EP is complete as it is now and in the right order. I have a Spotify playlist of the EP that I can easily share, so that you don't have to look up the songs yourself, though I realise mine doesn't really contain any 'special' songs, but mostly stuff people might have heard already (except Tomi).
-
I'll just share my ep file cause why not

Luke then, I guess

I'll just share my ep file cause why not
I'd share my EP as well, but I know there's at least two of you (Evermind & Parama) who don't use Spotify and I only have actual files of 3 songs out of my 7 song EP :lol
-
Entwine is home??
No! I can't believe no one guessed the most obvious :lol
-
I listened to the Entwine song and it was not a quiet depressing song, it had loud bits :V
Shadow Ninja why
-
because I don't like the open spots, I found out the last two tracks are:
Eryn Non Dae. - Chrysalis
Xantochroid - Rebirth of an Old Nation
I think Parama's EP is pretty heavy :lol
-
It's pretty heavy.
I'll send it out if you can figure out the EP name :corn
-
I listened to the Entwine song and it was not a quiet depressing song, it had loud bits :V
Shadow Ninja why
Well, you still didn't guess the last word in his EP, that's why :P

More like suicide EP because you killed your chances to win.
2/30 - only because second part of the EP title is accurate.
-
You clearly haven't listened to it yet, because the full title is adequate.
But yeah, the Mr. Bungle song is actually about suicide, so I guess it's alright :sadpanda:
-
Which part, about me being a lion? :lol
-
Well, the title contains a description ('The EP of Death'), a name ('Tom is a Lion'), a disclaimer ('These Songs Don't Fit Together') and a contradiction ('This Title Makes No Sense'). It is up to you to decide which part fits where :neverusethis:

My title is three words and the album cover I made tries to represent them all :corn

Here's the link to my Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/user/lvialviaquez/playlist/0RNtkXpFBCv6RxmfAzlz4V
2.75/10
I just noticed that because I had to swap out one of the songs (Kylesa - Tired Climb) for another (Giant Squid - Sixty Foot Waves), the EP is about 40:30 in length :lol shit. Anyway, I already told tomi that the last minute on Saint is negligible so it should still fit within the time frame.
-
Here's mine: https://open.spotify.com/user/1150414537/playlist/64UC8QxZDtil4GtIDTeGuD
The original EP I made was quite different from the one I sent in the end and the title 'EP of Death' made more sense, as I had only songs about or relating to death or final tracks from albums. I had to cut out some artists and make it more cohesive and that's how I ended up with what I sent. Some artists I didn't send, but considered in early drafts were Shining, Destrage, Voyager and Intronaut. The first version I sent Tomi had an Ihsahn track as well, but Ihsahn turned out to be banned, despite not being on the banned list. Originally I even had two Ihsahn tracks, so I'm glad I didn't have to swap much.
-
i did some cutting and editing and stuff to my songs too & the EP would be way over 40 minutes (and not flow well) if i didn't.
for one i cut off like 30 seconds at the end of witherer that was just noises and stuff, and then about 2 whole minutes off the start of chrysalis of ambient drones. then i turned around & added 45 seconds to the xanthochroid song from the previous track on the album because it worked better that way, so :lol
also i could swear intronaut were on the banned list but i prob wouldn't have sent them anyways. mostly tried to keep it to stuff i've been spinning recently but cobalt slipped on there anyways
one day i'll send another ep that isn't five tracks long. the one i sent to 425 was 6 tracks but all the others i've sent have been 5 :lol
i think it started because of train too, i had planned out like a 10-track ep from 10 different artists and then he put that silly 5 artists limit so i sent 5 songs from 5 different artists
i am never gonna beat how good my ep for home was though, no matter how hard i try, so i might as well give up on ep making now
someone should run a roulette that's just 3 rounds of EPs tbh, i'd love the heck out of that
i'd do it myself but i already have an idea for my next roulette tbh, and also iv'e been disappointed with my ep rounds in both roulettes tbh
also here's a hint (https://s30.postimg.org/e0erx2rn5/cover_v2.jpg) for my EP, that's the middle third of the cover i made :P
i've been way too overenthusiastic about my ep but that's because i'm really happy about it, even if nobody else is

I should probably check out the competition this weekend. I'm actually feeling pretty confident that I could pull out a win here, chuffed with my EP. It'd be cool to have a plug.dj session listening to all the EPs with all of us in there...but that's never going to happen :lol
-
heck, let's do it. Tomorrow. I can make it at like 10 AM or so my time which is like still reasonable for you European nerds
I'll even upload mine to the tubes just for the occasion
-
I might be in for this, sounds cool!
Bolsters died from hearing my boring EP, the riffs were too crunchy

he just didn't have enough milk

Not sure I can do tomorrow (maybe) but more likely Sunday :tup

Sunday works sure

I don't think I can do this weekend, but go ahead and listen to mine regardless :)

elite's ep: i know like half of this but this was pretty solid. i didn't like the mr. bungle song at all and where everything's perfect feels like a weird choice of a closer, especially when you have my famed disappearing act already on the ep, but :lol
train's ep: gotta be honest this felt too samey to really get into. i kind of just zoned out by the fourth or fifth track. the he is legend song isn't as good as the one i mentioned either, tbh. you'll probably win
home's ep: gotta be honest i just listened to the two songs i didn't know, and they were alright. ep flow is probably good since it's like 60% the ep you sent me :lol
-
That's fine, I never had any illusions of you liking it apart from maybe Vangough and Giant Squid
the he is legend song isn't as good as the one i mentioned either, tbh.
Ok that's just incorrect
-
@Parama; that's probably because you know the TYS song as an album closer. I didn't think it was weird to not have it as the last track. The Jolly song wasn't on the EP initially, I had Celestial Violence by Ihsahn as a closer first instead of it, but Ihsahn turned out to be banned. You not liking the Mr. Bungle track isn't something I can do stuff about though :| I think it's great, but I wouldn't have sent it if I didn't.
-
my famed disappearing act has that air of a finale about it though even outside of being an album closer :lol
also yeah i'm not the judge of this round i'm just posting comments corn corn corn

Thanks a bunch! I already tried making the EP on Spotify, but the Cobalt track is missing there. I will listen to it later.
Also, I know the name of your EP now :neverusethis:

It's edited a specific way anyways so spotify would screw it up badly :P

Yes, I read the readme file

Alright, I listened to your EP, Parama, and I am very impressed with how well it flows. The consistency is pretty damn great.
Really liked the Hacride track, although I have heard more from them.
The transistion into the Cobalt song was noticeable, in the sense that it goes to a different sort of vibe, but not jarring in any way.
I did not really like the Cobalt track, but that's mostly because I'm not too fond of black metal vocals. It's pretty solid regardless.
I had a hard time firguring out when the Cobalt song stopped and the next one came on, what a fantastic transition!
This next one was alright, but a little too frantic here and there for my tastes.
Again, brilliant transition in the next track.
I'd say this one (The Hirsch Effekt) was my least favourite from your EP, because it's not cohesive at all. I'm listened to them before and, while they are very technical and all that, song-writing wise, they completely mess around. This track doesn't go anywhere.
Next transition was, as expected, really good.
And the Xanthochroid was a pretty cool closer indeed. Even though this song sounds the 'weakest' in terms of production, there's quite an 'epic' feel at the end, good choice. One thing though; that church organ gets really annoying towards the end haha
Songs: 7.5
Flow: 9.0
---
Seriously, I liked it quite a bit and I can see you put lots of working into editing the songs so that they flow well. Kudos for that :tup
I don't know what Tomi would think of this though; it's quite heavy and heavy on the harsh vocals as well. Some very frantic parts (Eryn Non Dae. and The Hirsch Effekt). The EP is quite relentless, but it works really well!
-
that's because Ira is part of a suite on the album it comes from as well, i'll agree that maybe it doesn't work so well as a standalone song but it was never meant to be one
-
Just to say I didn't forget about you or the EPs :P I have exams these days but I'm listening to your EPs in the background, hoping I'll find enough time soon to really focus on them. I think I have a favourite right now but there are a lot of 'What were they thinking? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmMhzaF7puM)' moments :P
-
Yeah I have about 5 songs worth of those
-
:lol actually been watching quite a few AVGN videos recently, love it!
Seriously don't think I have any "what were they thinking?" moments on my EP :lol

Share your EP and I'll judge that for you :corn

I know, but I'm on my phone and DTF doesn't save your sent PM's so I couldn't copy and paste it from there.

luke ep:
first two songs are succ
not really a fan of the vocals on this dommin song. decent enough besides.
the second dommin song is such traincore. it has a bit more personality than the last one though.
the black mages song is nice as an interlude i guess but it's really brief and basically just a piano piece, ok
so i looked it up because it seemed weird and the two john frusciante songs are listed backwards on the ep. also that intro on carvel. weird. song is very much not something for me but oh well
lonely mcsong is even less compelling tho
one day i'll get into biffy the vampire slayer. this song is making an okay argument. it's solid
i don't really feel like these songs had much to do with each other at all but it was okay. weird choice of closer too honestly.
will score higher than me.
-
DTF doesn't save your sent PM's
Yes, it does
-
DTF doesn't save your sent PM's
Yes, it does
Whenever I go to 'sent messages' there's nothing there?? Weird.
@Parama, about what I expected. Yes, Tomi listed the two John Frusciante songs back to front. I know what you mean about the intro to Carvel but I really wanted to include the song but felt it fitted better with the intro than without. I didn't go for an epic closer but I think it works. I know the songs are fairly different but I like to think they go together quite well. Time will tell :corn
EDIT: I will try and get around to listening to everyone else's EPs but I started my new job on Tuesday so I've been mega busy.
-
When you are writing a PM, there is a box you can tick in order to have a copy saved into the sent folder.

i hope my EP is serving you as a better wake up jolt of energy than coffee ever could during your exam week.
wake up, get out of bed, headbang for 40 minutes (approx), winning

Any update on how you're getting on Tomi? Did I blow your mind yet?
Will we be getting the results for 5th place this coming week possibly?

I just wanted to post here. Since this is already taking too long I won't include real write-ups for home's EP, just few sentences + scores.
Exams are over but I still need to finish a project for next Tuesday and work for two others so it's not like I have much time now :P but I do have more than last few weeks.
I'd like to deliver results next weekend but I can't promise anything.
That one EP I liked the best before is still the my favorite, I think.

No rush dude, I took forever!

congrats train

i relistened to my EP which i haven't done in a while now.
it's still good, unlike my results
-
I started doing write-ups but I still don't know who won :P
I hope you're ok with having 2-3 write-ups today and the rest tomorrow. Also, scoring will be a little different than in the rest of the roulette. It's still 1-10 but I wouldn't compare songs from EP round and the rest of the roulette, I want scores to be spread more, something I should have done from the start, next time (v2.0) there will be rankings, no ratings :P
-
Cue the first 1 being given in this roulette. Come on, give it to me! :corn

Home's EP will be posted first :|

parama's ep - every song sucked, i'm feeling a light to decent opinion
also if you post my EP results today (because i lost) then i will start my roulette thread today. i'm basically ready, just deciding between 8 or 10 players & polishing up my posts a little
-
In that case...
no, not yet :corn
I tried to rank all the songs and it's more difficult than I thought it would be so you'll have to wait a little bit for first write-ups. Still need to adjust few scores.
-
Let's start with short write-up of bonus EP. Take the scores with grain of salt because I didn't think about these too much (as I did with other EPs).
Number in brackets is the song's ranking in this round.
home: The EP That Wasn’t Meant To Be
*shels - The Conference of the Birds
I think I said it more than one, I have this weird affair with post-rock. I need to be in the right mood and it has to be really good for me to like it. Well, I don't think this was is very good. And it has grown on me (then you know how much I liked it at first). It goes and goes but it never grab me until the end and it is too long for what it offers. The ending is pretty great though (that part with trumpet). If only it was shorter...
6.5/10 (#34/40)
London Grammar - Hey Now
Ok, I had hard time rating this song because it is kind of song I like on moments and dislike in other moments (same thing with most modern pop or pop in general). But it is pretty cool when I'm in mood for it, very chill and relaxing music. On the other hand it is monotonous and it can get boring.
7/10 (#31/40)
Nothing More - I'll Be Ok
This is where it gets awesome! As you know, I heard them before (because I turned This Is The Time down) but I didn't heard other than said song. I absolutely love singer's voice and it does remind me of Fair to Midland, but with better production. What I like in this song is the catchiness, overall sound and emotions. Chorus, particularly, sounds huge. I think it took me one listen to start singing along :P (even though I still don't know lyrics).
(btw guys, this was filler for This Is The Time :D )
8.5/10 (#7/40)
La Dispute - King Park
Another band I heard before, once on plug.dj and second time when I got them recommended by Spotify. I loved both songs and I would've checked them out anyway even if you didn't send them but this definitely put them at the top of my wishlist. And why didn't I get more post-hardcore in this roulette? :-\ Anyway, King Park is really really sick song. Spoken vocal style really contribute to emotions of the song, and singer is obviously into it. Also, song's theme: daaaamn. It is cringey on moments tbh but I don't care :P
8.5/10 (#3/40)
Nothing More - God Went North
Another Nothing More song and it is equally good as the other one. It took me more time to get into it than I'll Be Ok though. I could almost copy and paste that write-up so there isn't much to say :P These guys know how to make a good chorus, makes me want to scream with them every time I hear it.
8.5/10 (#8/40)
Slowdive - Golden Hair
This song is just fine. I don't remember much about it because it is boring to me so I don't have anything to say :D I don't know the original either and I know you like it so maybe there's connection, maybe I should like the original before liking this. But yes, I can listen to this but I'd rather not :P
5.5/10 (#38/40)
Flow: It sounds worse on paper :P Having two atmospheric songs at the beginning and at the end, and different song in the middle could be a disaster but it isn't here, I kinda liked to.
3/5
Three songs in the middle were absolute blast :metal I don't want to rub the salt into the wound but you should've sent one of them instead of Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating in Space in last round :ontome:
TOTAL EP SCORE: 18.54/25 + 3/5 = 21.54 (it would be EP #4/5)
-
Thanks a lot for the write-ups man, I really appreciate it!
I'm really happy with the scores the middle three songs got. The conference of birds definitely takes quite some time to go into epic mode, so I can totally understand your comments about that song. I do think you're the first one giving such a low score to Golden Hair tho :P The original having emotional value for me definitely helps with me loving this song so much yeah.
These guys know how to make a good chorus, makes me want to scream with them every time I hear it.
Yuuup! :metal

And why didn't I get more post-hardcore in this roulette?
I didn't know you'd be in to that kind of stuff, but it's great to see more love for La Dispute here :biggrin:
Did you hear Brand New's Daisy? La Dispute sounds like Brand New on cocaine :lol (I wanted to say that in write-up, damn)
Nope I've just listened to The Devil and God are raging inside me, but I'll try to check Daisy out soon. Also :lol
-
i tried listening to other brand new stuff but it didn't do so much for me.
-
Devil and God is easily my favorite (and still one of my all time favorite albums), Deja Entendu is also great and Daisy is good but different. And there that debut that sounds like pop-punk.
-
Woo, looking forward to this. I'm actually feeling pretty confident about my EP. Bring it!!

I was waiting for anyone else to show up because I didn't want silence when results are in, damn it :P and now I realized I didn't check that other write-up I wanted to post today...

#5: Parama: Holographic Anxiety Engine
Hacride – Awakening
This is pretty much the most “normal” (the least weird) song on the whole EP (after the closer maybe). And it’s still a little weird. Intro riff sounds eerie and I have to admit it got into my head and it gets better when the band kicks in. Even while listening to it for the first time I could see this being a buildup (beside you wrote it in your write-up :P ). So it goes for some time before it gets heavy. Not really brutally heavy and considering this is the first song, I thank you for that. Growly vocals are kinda in Anselmo style (wow 3rd song with Phil Anselmo in this roulette) but I like them here and they fit nicely. This song was all about build-up and I was a bit disappointed when it introduced some more complicated riffs and drum beats. But that’s alright. And of course, there’s that crazy solo I like (do not love). It is interesting and crazy enough, and rhythm is pretty great.
Overall, I liked this song alright. I can’t say it’s my cup of tea at the moment but I could see myself listening to this band sometimes. This song gets your favorite score:
7.5/10 (#20/40)
Cobalt – Witherer
Yes, I loved intro from the first listen. But It gets a bit boring and repetitive, to be honest, but it’s still a killer riff. Vocals are 100% black metal and that’s why I love them (I am fan of blackish vocals). You said they could be offputting but to me, parts with vocals are really good. Even that riff underneath is great. Said that, I got really bored with this track. I don’t know, 4 minutes of this would be enough to me (I don’t think first 4 minutes). If I had to cut it, I would include that part with drum fills and dissonant (?) riffs. Part after that wasn’t really my favorite, it felt like it wasn’t the part of the song and it got overly weird. Then again, sludgy riffing is the best part of the song to me.
This song just isn’t consistent, in my opinion, and it feels disjointed. There are good parts though so it isn’t a trainwreck.
6.5/10 (#36/40)
Eryn Non Dae. – Chrysalis
You wrote, this song never gets boring… well, to me, it is one of the least memorable songs of the round. Not that it’s bad but no matter how much times I hear it, I can’t remember anything about it and nothing from it got into my head. But also, this means I don’t hate it either :P Listening to it now while writing, I remember I liked drumming on this one. Also, vocals get old-school-black-metal at times (maybe it’s just reverb or something) and that’s when I like song the most. And then there’s chill part I don’t like until tremolo picking part (it does sound like ISIS!) which is great but also not too memorable, sorry.
Yeah, I said everything I could. I like it while I’m listening to it but I can’t recall anything about it later :/
7/10 (#33/40)
The Hirsch Effekt – Ira
I think you played them bunch of times on plug.dj and I didn’t like most of the songs (I think there was one I did not hate). Well, I didn’t like this one either. The only thing similar to this I ever listen to is Converge, and that’s like once a year, when I’m in the right mood. Ira grew on me a little but I still don’t like it. And it’s hard to explain why, probably because it isn’t my cup of tea at all. It is just too frantic and dissonant and I don’t think I could listen to the full album of this :/ This was my biggest ‘what were they thinking’ moment. Middle part is more normal, it has some melodies (wow) and after that first part, everything sounds good tbh :P By the time acoustic part kicks in, I want song to be over but it is a refreshment after all those heaviness.
This song really is the punch to the face but I never liked getting punched so… I exaggerated a bit, I admit, but I still don’t like it, sorry.
5/10 (#40/40)
Xanthochroid - Rebirth of an Old Nation
I feel like this whole EP was leading to this song. And it is much different than all the songs before it, maybe the only small flaw in your flow. But I’m glad this is here. Because it is AMAZING :metal Right from the start (the real start) I just feel the emotions coming. It is melodic, anthemic, epic black metal, just how I like it. I feel one vocal track on its own wouldn’t be too special but there are backing vocals which really make this whole. And I said it before, I love black metal vocals when they’re executed well. And here, they are. Also, this song doesn’t feel like almost 10 minutes at all. I really like everything about this song, it is a perfect closer. That short solo at the end is great and then screaming and classic black metal and choir, it is really epic.
Wow, I’m glad you sent this, I need something like this in my life.
9/10 (#1/40)
Flow: There's nothing to be said, transitions are (mostly) smooth and it feels like one album more than most real albums :lol
5/5
Dude, I'm so sorry for this :( I don't know, maybe it would be good EP for someone who likes this kind of music. All of this is really extreme and I don't listen to this kind of extreme. I liked the most 'usual' track the most. Anyway, thank you for this, especially for Xanthochroid, it is the best song you sent (in whole roulette).
TOTAL EP SCORE: 17.5/25 + 5 = 22.5/30
OVERALL SCORE: 63+22.5=85.5
(btw bonus points for getting thread title reference :P )
You were pretty much one of the most consistent participants (you and SN2) until this round where you sent a few songs I didn't like.
I've listened to two artists from which you sent songs already: East of the Wall (really great stuff) and Cursive. Looking forward to others, too, especially getting into C&C finally. Again, this Xanthochroid song was amazing, I want to hear their other stuff.
I think you can be satisfied with outcome of this, our tastes aren't really that similar, you go a lot more extreme than I, and I go more indie than you :P

worst song and best song of the round, i couldn't be more pleased
i was kind of aware this EP wasn't exactly up your alley but i usually just send EPs to my tastes more than to the roulette runner's tastes and see what happens tbh and i'm totally okay with this :corn
also it should be #5 not #4 correct?

also it should be #5 not #4 correct?

Yep :hat
Other results sometimes today or tomorrow :P I shouldn't do it for three days, I know, but I don't have everything written.
BTW scores are so close, I fucked it up ;D

I'm happy to have made it this far so I'm cool with being next. This could be my only shot at winning a roulette though, just saying...
-
Woha didn't think you'd like Nothing More that much :omg: the album is really good, full of catchy choruses like I'll Be OK (EMPTY ME, EMPTY NATION :metal :metal)
I'm glad I didn't go with the post-rock route, but I kinda realized that it's too risky after sending that Toundra song. Not really expecting to win this but same as luke, I'm happy to have made it this far.
BTW scores are so close, I fucked it up ;D
You mean Parama was supposed to be #4? :lol
-
i still think you're gonna win, train, tbh
i voted myself in the poll because if you ask me who sent the best EP it'll always be my own, but in the winners poll yeah it's either you for sending the EP tomislav likes the most or shadow ninja because of his lead

#4: Shadow Ninja 2.0 - Shadow Ninja's Quiet, Downbeat, Occasionally Depressing EP
Gene Loves Jezebel – The Prairie Song
This one was a grower. At first I found it hard to remember anything about it as it is pretty monotonous song. Later, I started to grasp at the certain parts: short sad violin part, bass line and especially last part of the song. That bass line is pretty cool, something I don’t hear in today’s music that much. That made me realize this isn’t song by some indie rock band but 1980’s gothic rock band :D And about that last part, which is my favorite, that line totally got into my head: “pray for me, spare a bead on your rosary”.
This was a really good song. Not among my favorites you sent in this roulette but it is very enjoyable, definitely my type of song.
8/10 (#12/40)
Pete Yorn – Lose You
Growers were theme of your EP, I see. This one again, took me some time to appreciate. But contrary to the opener, I never started to really love this one. It is nice, and everything, piano is beautiful, his voice is not bad at all but I miss something about it and it gets a little boring after a while. Also, I don’t like it when chorus is actually the least interesting part of the song. Verses have some nice melodies and chorus is just repeating same thing over and over. I still liked it, maybe at a different time I’d get what’s it about but right now I don’t.
7/10 (#30/40)
Entwine – Until the End
I never fully got into Shamrain, beside one album, but I recognized singer’s voice here. There, he’s one of my favorite things. Here, it’s even better because he’s joined by female vocalist, contrast of their voices works really well. However, this was one of the songs I expected to like more. This one was not grower at all :P I feel like I heard everything there’s to be heard on my first listen. I tried to listen carefully to hear something new but at the end this song is pretty predictable. Nothing bad about it, it gets a decent score, still. A change of tone in the middle of the song, with some heavier riffing, is welcome addition here, I’d like it if they explored it further and didn’t come back to chorus again so soon. But oh well.
Liked this enough, as I said, I hoped to like it a bit more but I didn’t.
7.5/10 (#17/40)
Second Person – Spilt Milk
After first three songs, which were monotonous (not saying that’s bad), this one's equally monotonous :P I had rollercoaster feelings about this one and it was one of the hardest songs to rate. There isn’t much in it but I still enjoyed it. Main reason is melodies. They are not catchy, immensely beautiful or something, but they are pretty unique. At least to me, I rarely hear something like this. Chorus is my favorite part, it is the part where her voices shines and displays a bit more dynamics.
There’s not much to say about this. I liked it a little more than the song before it.
7.5/10 (#16/40)
Half Moon Run - No More Losing The War
If this went ok by now, here’s where it goes downhill. Also, by now I’d expect small change of pace because four songs like this in a row is a bit much. So, about the song. It is one of the songs I have hard time recalling even though I heard it as much times as any other song. I feel like it is mostly melody that goes over and over. There’s a small part at the end where he does something bit different, and that part is pretty good, but the rest is just boring, sorry.
6/10 (#37/40)
Múm - Green Grass of Tunnel
And here’s another grower. Initially, this one had a point lower score and at the last moment I kinda felt something about it. The first thing this reminded me of was Sigur Ros. It has that landscape music feel and unusual vocals. The problem about it, is its placement on the album. Sorry but I think I’d like this more if it whole album wasn’t so sad, this is too much, man :lol but really, this sounds like it should be beautiful but I miss something or that’s just how I feel about the EP as a whole.
7/10 (#29/40)
The Album Leaf – Window
Just when you thought this write-up can’t get any worse, here’s this. Closing the album with atmospheric song like this would maybe be a good idea if other songs weren’t so sad and depressing. This is the kind of music I rarely like. It has to be really really good and hit me in the right moment for me to like it. You know when would I listen to something like this? When I can’t fall asleep. I’m not saying it makes me sleep because it’s boring but it’s just not something I would listen on regular basis. Well, at least isn’t not screaming until my head hurts (hi, Parama :P ).
I really don't know what else to say, I didn’t like this that much.
5.5/10 (#39/40)
Flow: well, this EP's flow is its flaw making it flow less (wait, is this a paradox?). Songs work fine around each other but having this much depressing and downbeat songs was overkill, it hurt songs I liked.
3.5/5
It is obvious this is my least favorite EP. As I said before, this was too much even for me. I would think you knew my tastes better, considering your lead but either you don't or you were out of stuff to sent :-\
TOTAL EP SCORE: 17.32/25 + 3.5 = 20.82/30
OVERALL SCORE: 65+20.82 = 85.82
So yeah... I feel kinda bad about this because you were #1 the whole time but I didn't like your EP at all, obviously.
But let me mention some of the good stuff you sent. Actually, pretty much everything up to the EP was at least very good. I'm glad you opened my eyes on Dark Tranquillity, I didn't know they sounded like they do, at all (heard that album, it's pretty good). Another song I absolutely loved was Death Dream, it is top 3 of the roulette probably.
I hope you won't hate me after this, sorry :P
-
#3: twosuitsluke - Dredging the Depths of Your Psyche
David Maxim Micic - Everything's Fine
I wasn't sure how to rate or what to count these interlude songs like so I just rated them as every other song :P At first, I was thinking of it as just of intro track and wasn't paying attention but last few days I really tried to get into it and it is pretty nice piece. Of course, piano is at the centre here but string takes it to the other level. This track set the tone for (the first part of) the EP nicely.
7.5/10 (#22/40)
Earthside - Mob Mentality
I still have no idea what genre this is because it combines more styles yet I loved it from the beginning. Intro track to the orchestral style of this song works pretty great. Most often, when metal is combined with classical music it tend to get very cheesy and it's not really my style. Here, it is exactly my kind of music and orchestra just makes it better. I think that even without the orchestra this song would sound epic and this way it is epic even more. This really shows how progressive (I guess?) metal should sound like, building and building, and then explode into the powerful chorus. Fortunately, the end is not there :P there are still few minutes and another build-up. I hope whole album sounds like this :D it is really unique music, melodies are memorable and riffs heavy.
Thank you for this. It is pretty close to Myrath's song you sent last round and that means one of the best songs of the roulette :tup
9/10 (#2/40)
Dommin - Love is Gone
Love is Gone is a bit different to the song before it but I think flow is nice there. Again, I had to check what kind of music is, it is pretty poppy and old school sounding but at the same time, it is very 'electric' and fuzzy. You've probably realized how much I like emotional songs and this one is definitely emotional. Singer is big part of that, his voice just bleeds emotions. I don't know how to do this song justice :P it's nothing special but I like it how it is because it is emotional and catchy.
8/10 (#13/40)
Dommin - Dark Holiday
I checked it and it looks like Dark Holiday is right after Love is Gone on the album but I don't think these two songs work back to back :lol And it kinda ruined the flow here. Right at the beginning, that piano is totally different than anything else on this EP. Nevertheless, this song is not bad at all. Again, singer and his singing in chorus are my favorite things about song. I like it when his voice gets gritty. That part at the end of the chorus, with crash cymbal (I guess?) sounds like something from Devin Townsend's album :P
I liked this one as well but not as much as Love is Gone.
7.5/10 (#19/40)
The Black Mages/Nobuo Uematsu - Life (In Memory of Keiten)
(I think I heard this somewhere before :P)
Here is when flow gets totally ruined IMO. Again, as with the intro, it was hard to rate it but it's nice piece so it get's decent score. However, even though I like it, I think it ruined the flow and it was unnecessary :-\
7.5/10 (#23/40)
John Frusciante - Carvel
And there's that song with weird intro :P I heard of John Frusicante, obviously, and for some reason I though his music is similar to RHCP. I don't like RHCP and I'm not fan of funk so I never checked any of his songs. Too bad, because this is fiiiiine. I think this song (along with Nothing More songs home sent) was the one I singed along to the most. Vocal melodies are really catchy and the fact that I can sing along to those 'aahs' without knowing lyrics helps, too :lol My absolutely favorite moments is that chorus where his voice gets really gritty.
Thank you for opening my eyes, I should have checked his music before.
8.5/10 (#5/40)
John Frusciante - Song to Sing When I'm Lonely
This one took me a little longer to appreciate. It feels more like classic rock ballad, something not so special. Yet in the end, it has grown on me. 'Nintendo' intro is a little weird but ok :lol Again, this song sounds like something to sing along too (when I'm lonely :P ). He conveyed emotions of the song nicely, backing vocals help, too. I'm out of words for this one, it is nice, pretty catchy, I like it.
8/10 (#11/40)
Biffy Clyro - Mountains
Another grower here. At first, I thought this song was very bland and it sounded like it should be emotional but also sounded kinda fake. Still, I get similar feeling, especially in the chorus, it just sound weird. I quite like it now, though. Verses are very nice and chorus is catchy. I remember back when I didn't like this one that much, I started singing the chorus once and I knew I will eventually like it :P
7.5/10 (#21/40)
Flow: I can't say your flow is really the best. In fact, it is the worst out of all EPs :P I think you made a mistake with Life (In Memory of Keiten), it feels out of place. Or you should've put Song to Sing When I'm Lonely before Carvel, that would help it, too.
3/5
TOTAL EP SCORE: 19.84/25 + 3/5 = 22.84/30
OVERALL SCORE: 63+22.84 = 85.84
I know you said you're satisfied with even being in the EP round, and you should be because you barely did it with Myrath, but also, you should kick yourself for not winning this :P Your EP average score without flow is easily the best. Too bad you sent some average songs in early rounds.
But also, you sent Myrath which is one of the best songs of the roulette, Type O' Negative and now Earthside and John Frusciante. Good game, man, thanks for playing :tup

At least two 8.5's left if I recall correctly, damn. I didn't think I'd be top 2 to be honest, luke's EP looks like I may really like it (and I only know the first 2 songs so it's a lot of new stuff too).
EDIT: did luke beat shadow ninja by 0.02 points? :lol

EDIT: did luke beat shadow ninja by 0.02 points? :lol
Yes :lol
I was serious when I said all of you are close ;D
BTW I hope you won't get mad if I don't do post remaining two write-ups today :P
-
i got saved so hard by the flow on my EP :lol
also heck yeah mob mentality is great

At least two 8.5's left if I recall correctly, damn. I didn't think I'd be top 2 to be honest,
Well, to be honest, neither did I. Damn.
-
Yea I'll take that. I really like the DMM song as an intro leading into the Earthside song. I spent a bit of time trying to segue from Dommin to John Frusciante. I personally like the Black Mages interlude (obviously) but I can see why it maybe didn't work for you. That's a shame and I am kicking myself as a better interlude (or leaving this out altogether) may have got me the win :tdwn
Definitely check out Earthside's debut, it's incredible. In regards to Dommin, these songs are taken from their debut (which is the only album I've heard) vocally he is massively influenced by Glenn Danzig so if you like it maybe check out a few Danzig albums (I'd suggest starting with Danzig II: Lucifuge) as well.
I love the John Frusciante album these two songs come from, so definitely start there. I'm only getting around to checking out the rest of his solo stuff myself at the moment, so can't really recommend another album. Cheers for having me dude. I feel I performed a pretty good comeback after a shaky start.
-
I hope you won't hate me after this, sorry :P
yes i hate you now
Nah man, it's cool. Kinda surprised you didn't care for most of it, but that happens. Glad I sent some stuff you liked!
-
Hey, guys, are you ready for this :P

Just put me oit of my misery BOIIIII :corn

Elite: The EP of Death v. Tom is a Lion, These Songs Don't Fit Together and This Title Doesn't Make Any Sense Whatsoever
Euzen – The Stage
Your songs are the hardest to do the write-ups for :lol There is literally nothing I listen that is similar to this. Intro is really weird, I was wtf at the first. Later, I wasn’t too weirded with it :P The piano part is nice and singer’s voice is a little unusual but that’s what makes this song better IMO, especially those gritty parts. Bad thing about it is that it doesn’t really go anywhere and it is a little weird for me but it sets the right mood for this EP, definitely.
7/10 (#26/40)
Chelsea Wolfe – Carrion Flowers
I remember I was checking some of her songs out before because I knew some of you liked her so I wanted to hear what’s all fuss about. And right away I knew it wasn’t for me. Now, when I was actually “forced” to listen to it, it grew on me. Another weird intro, it fits the theme. It is weird how heavy music can sound without having heavy guitars and drums, this is very punchy and dark. I don’t love this but I’m interested to check her music again because it is interesting and not like anything I know.
7/10 (#22/40)
maudlin of the Well – Gleam in Ranks
Ok, by now I was sure the theme of this EP was ‘the weird shit’ :lol and I’m surprised you went that way because most of the music I listen to is pretty straightforward. However, I’m glad you sent some of this stuff because, as I said, I had to listen to them many times and that way I couldn’t give up after just one listen. On the other hand, this is just too weird for me and not memorable at all. There is nothing about it I can remember :-/ There are some cool part but as a whole, I don’t really like it that much.
6.5/10 (#34/40)
In the Mourning – The Smoke
This one is pretty much the most “normal” song of the bunch, or should I say straightforward, nothing weird about it (to someone who knows melodeath). Every time I heard that part with china cymbal I had Devin Townsend singing “balls…balls…balls…” in my head :lol (can’t remember where he does it). The Smoke is one of the most headbangable song of the round, not just because it is heavy but because it is possible to headbang to it :P In contrast to the heavy part there is calm part with cleans in the middle which is actually my favorite, I like his voice and emotions in it. Actually, whole song is very emotional even though it is pretty brutal.
I’m not that big of a fan of melodeath anymore/at the moment but this is well done.
7.5/10 (#15/40)
Mr. Bungle - The Air-Conditioned Nightmare
This is where it gets interesting. When I saw you sent this, I was like: "oh, no"! You played one of their songs on plug.dj and it was weird and awful :P I’m only getting into Faith No More and Mike Patton is one of the people I want to like so this came in right time. I knew this was going to be weird and funky (I can’t stand funk most of the time) but I went into it open-minded. And it didn’t do anything to me until recently when it finally hit me. First part is just good, with call and response singing (or whatever :lol ). My favorite is latter part, really cool, catchy and emotional.
It is really hard to say why I love it but I do ;D My favorite out of your weird songs.
8.5/10 (#6/40)
Thank You Scientist - My Famed Disappearing Act
My first reaction was: whoooah! I hear they don’t restrain themselves from playing some wanky riffs. Obviously, I heard of them before but never properly checked them because they sounded a bit too happy for me :P This song reminded me of Haken and Coheed & Cambria. I’m not fan of brass instruments but here they work very well, especially when playing same thing as guitar. It’s hard to pick one favorite part but let’s say it’s the chorus, you know how much I love catchy choruses.
I’m looking forward to checking this out, sounds very interesting. I never heard anything like this before.
8.5/10 (#5/40)
Jolly - Where Everything's Perfect
This is the one that got in because I heard Ihsahn and you had to replace it, right. I’m glad you didn’t replace it with something more similar to Ihsahn because it would be too crazy. Where Everything's Perfect is perfect closer for an album like this, I think, to make it breathe a little after all that craziness. I have this album on my wishlist since I saw them on your (I guess) top 50 list but that was a while ago and I didn’t hear anything since then. That piano at the beginning is my favorite piano tone, gives it jazzy feel. I like how music is different to the vocals for the most part. It is almost metal-y and voice is kinda jazzy and emotional. All in all, this was an interesting song, looking forward to hear more.
8/10 (#10/40)
Flow: I know your EP's name is "These Songs Don't Fit Together" but I think they actually do, for the most part. There are some flaws but it flows nicely, no big complaints.
4/10
TOTAL EP SCORE: 18.93/25 + 4/5 = 22.93/30
OVERALL SCORE: 63+22.93 = 85.93
Even though I didn't love some of the songs on your EP, last three made up for it and made your EP 2nd best.
Your way through this roulette was a bumpy road and you barely made it into the finals but you didn't send bad song (well, Gleam in Ranks is closest to it but still not bad). You definitely sent the most weird stuff so it's interesting David Bowie got you through :P I know I rated Come On Down the best but actually the two 8.5s on the EP may be my two favorite songs you sent. Great way to close roulette. There's also some other stuff I'm looking forward to check like Astronoid. Thanks for playing.
Train of Naught: Stays Crunchy, Even In Milk!
Giant Squid - Sixty Foot Waves
I think I said that to you, I heard Giant Squid before (songs from some other album) and, for some unknown reason, I forgot about them even though I liked them. So I knew what to expect. Anyways, this is definitely traincore (as the whole album is) and I think traincore and tomicore have many same elements :lol Backbone of the song is that bass line and I always like that. It is not in the way of the guitar or vocals but it’s definitely there, rocking in the background. I think that other songs I heard had, to me, better guitar tone. This could sound sludgier IMO.
So yeah, I like the song but it is a little weird and it get boring fast. That reflects on the score (thinking about it now, I was maybe a little too harsh).
7/10 (#28/40)
Giant Squid – Mycenaeans
Another song by Giant Squid, it is pretty much the same style, nothing too interesting but good nevertheless. This one introduce some chugier riffs and some strings (I guess), which are main star of its part of the song. Again, I think guitar tone could be better, they maybe went too bassy here. Chorus part is pretty dope, almost an earworm with some unusual melodies.
I like it but, again, I’m not sold on this. I think my problem with both song is that I usually like faster songs in this style.
7/10 (#27/40)
He is Legend – No Visitors
Well, this is guitar tone I like. And thankfully, this one is more dynamic and has some faster parts. It has many vocal hooks which make it memorable, catchy and easy to listen to. On moments (that fast part), singer reminds me of singer from Corrosion of Conformity, which is a good thing. My favorite part is the chorus, it gets really melodic but at the same time, riffs are tight and sludgy.
I was on the edge with this one because it’s not really the most unique song but it’s enjoyable.
7.5/10 (#24/40)
Wild Throne – Shadow Desert
I have to admit, intro was weird to me at first but after it gets to normal, it is good. This is again, song in the similar style to songs before. However, it’s not really the classic stoner rock song as No Visitors is. This one relies on contrast in verses, between loud bass and drums and quiet vocals. I love it when voice explodes into chorus with that catchy, screaming melody. It was a really good idea, I think having dynamics like this is an important thing. There’s also that one riff, which sounds like some classic bluesy rock, which I like.
This one was really close to being an 8 but I guess it’s not :P (there were many 7.5s as you can see, Shadow Desert is my favorite of them, No Visitors least favorite out of them)
7.5/10 (#14/40)
Painted Wives – Dig
I don’t think anyone realized and I forgot to mention it before, you were the one who guessed you own (both PW) songs :lol
Yeah, this one was my favorite from the beginning. Again, guitar tone is more to my taste here, even though parts are too loud, I hear some heavy compression here. But I don’t care, that’s part of what’s charming about it, guitars and drums (cymbals especially) destroying everything around. Not surprisingly, my favorite thing about the song is the singer: his timbre, melodies, everything. He sometimes even goes into that nasally John Arch timbre which I like for some weird reason :P Middle part with simple guitar solo and those ‘whoa’s would be great to experience live, I think. Did I say how much I like that chorus? I do, very much :P
This song, again, is on the edge between 8 and 8. 5 but I can’t go higher, sorry.
8/10 (#9/40)
Painted Wives – Saint
Contrary to the Dig, I had hard time getting into this one. It is not bad at all, I just miss some hooks, nothing really grabs me as Dig did. Riffs are great while I’m listening to it but not memorable. Of course singer is great (well, it’s the same singer from previous song) yet I can’t name one part of the song where I can say: "he shines there". I guess reason is that it misses classic chorus, he just shouts ‘saint’ a few times :P (was reprise necessary?)
Nothing more to add, it is ok but not great.
7/10 (#32/40)
Vangough – The Suffering
This one. I’m still not sure if I rated it right, it changed positions all the time. It is more of a song whose elements I love but together they are not that great. Riffs are heavy but still sound pretty technical, drums remind me of Mastodon very much (snare fills and tone) and singer at the beginning sounds like Einar from Leprous :D What I love about it is how it has totally different feeling in different parts of the song. Singers voice gives a drop of emotion even when there are crushing riffs and drumming behind. My favorite part is instrumental after the calm part (that with drum fills and chuggy riffs after it), nothing too special but it is a music I like.
(btw I love that album art :P )
7.5/10 (#18/40)
Flow: Being stylistically consistent definitely made this EP flow very well. And still, it didn't get me bored even though songs are similar.
4.5/10
TOTAL EP SCORE: 18.4/25 + 4.5/5 = 22.9/30
OVERALL SCORE: 63.4+22.9 = 86.4
Not the best EP but a very consistent one which makes it as good as the others. I would like it if there was more variety but it's still pretty great.
About other rounds: you sent the best song of the roulette (Just a Ride). Even though it got only 8.5 (I know, I know...), I would give it 9.5 or even 10 right now :D I listened to that album bunch of times and I love it, they are the best discovery after FtM of the roulette so far. Soen is great, of course, good job for thinking so fast and sending me a single :P Actually, all of the stuff you sent were very good, at least. Another song I would mention, which grew on me since scoring it, is Romancing a Stranger. I'm going to check that album out soon, I hope.
It isn't clear at all because the difference between #1 and #2 is less than a half point but the winner is:

:metal :metal :metal TRAIN OF NAUGHT :metal :metal :metal
Congrats, dude! You definitely earned it with bunch of great songs you sent throughout the roulette and stayed one of the most consistent players. Thank you for playing :D
Thank you all for playing and sending me all that good stuff. I can't wait to start checking all that stuff out (and stuff I missed because I was too busy listening to your entries :P ). This roulette was very fun but also tiring and time consuming. I made some mistakes and I think I learnt something from them so I won't make them again in my v2.0 if there is going to be v2.0 (there will, most likely :D ).
I hope you all had fun. I know my write-ups aren't the best because my vocabulary is limited and I often hardly find words to say why I like or dislike something :D
Thank you once again and see you around!
(BTW I'm getting emotional because this is over :'()

Even though I didn't love some of the songs on your EP, last three made up for it and made your EP 2nd best.
But.. my total EP score is the highest!
---
Glad you liked some stuff from it :)
but a little sad I'm finishing in second place yet again :lol I actually didn't expect to end up in the top 2 (or top 3 for that matter), so I supposed my EP did pretty well :)
I know your EP's name is "These Songs Don't Fit Together" but I think they actually do, for the most part.
Yeah, but that's not the full title :P
Anyway; three songs in the top 10! YEAH
Thanks for playing
Thanks for having me and enduring some weird stuff. It's been a good ride.
Also this:
Congrats asshole, I'll beat you next time :D

:woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:
This is the second time I win a roulette with a less-than-great EP :lol but I'm glad you liked it for the most part. This means I finally have my name in normal font size on the leaderboards :metal. Personally I much prefer Saint to Dig but Dig definitely has one of the most catchy choruses i've heard in a while. The album I'd say is closer to Dig's style than Saint so you'll be fine. That Giant Squid album isn't the best but I really like the eastern vibe in Mycenaeans or whatever it is called, and cause I had to re-send something I decided to put another Giant Squid song in there. :lol
He Is Legend is not really stoner rock, this song is probably the one that comes closest, but the other album (It Hates You) is more on the heavy/sludgy side that Heavy Fruit (album of this song) isn't as much.
The bluesy riff of the Wild Throne song is the single thing that pushed me over to send this, it's very tommy
you sent the best song of the roulette (Just a Ride).
:metal
Congrats asshole
Thanks dickwad
-
train of victory
my prediction was right :corn
-
This means I finally have my name in normal font size on the leaderboards :metal.
Done.
-
Anyways that xanthochroid album is great though that one is the best song for sure
The Hirsch Effekt album is better though imo :corn
-
Congratulations Train! :metal
-
Congratulations dude. Well played by all!
-
Congrats trainy :2metal:
-
Thanks guys :2metal: :metardica:
I can't believe I never won a roulette for like one and a half year and then continue to win 2 in a row just now :lol thanks for hosting tomi and I'd like to see those 'best of' playlists too
-
Here's list of my favorite songs from roulette. I didn't try to include everyone but to pick my favorite songs and then fill the remaining space but every participant got at least one song on the list. I hope I didn't forget anything, I don't want to recheck it now :P
You can notice some of the higher scored songs didn't make it. That's because I don't like them that much anymore or studio version is less good (that Karnivool song). But there are some songs I didn't like that much at first.
If anyone wants to listen to it, here is the Spotify link (https://open.spotify.com/user/tomislav95/playlist/7sXDbaT06rDGZq4CVNbUQ9).
