(https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/Smileys/default/metal-tard.gif) Welcome to my first roulette. (https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/Smileys/default/metal-tard.gif)
I would first like to say, I have no idea what I’m doing and have no clue how this will work out :corn, so let’s do this! Everyone is welcome to sign up! There may or may not be Hangmanenenenen and/or album cover guessing games throughout the roulette. Stay tuned.
If you are already signed up you can start sending your songs if you want.
:police: Rules:
1. 10 12 13 12 participants
2. 10 Rounds
3. Songs rated on a 1-10 scale. And I will use the full scale. If your submission really sucks, you may find yourself getting somewhere in the 1-4 range. I may use half points if necessary.
4. Submissions – Please PM submissions. I would very much prefer if songs that are submitted are available on Google play music (since I have a subscription to that and use it the most) or files
(320kbps mp3 or FLAC). I will also accept Spotify or YouTube links as a last resort, but this is not preferred, and I may just conjure up those songs sent by those mediums another way... I
listen to most of my music while I am driving for work through Google play music and would prefer to put all submissions in a playlist on my Google Music App.
5. There will be 2 elimination rounds, one at the halfway point and one before the final round.
6. Artists will be banned once submitted for the rest of the roulette
7. Up to 2 people can send the same artist in any given round. Has to be different songs, for obvious reasons (first come first serve)
8. When sending a song please let me know if there is a specific version I should be listening to (e.g. Live, demo, alternate take, remixed, remastered, etc. etc.)
9. I reserve the right to reject any submission as I’m sure I have forgotten something that should be on my banned list. Therefor, my banned list may change. Be aware of that. I tried to make it as
thorough as possible, but things get missed.
10. I may change up the themes on some of the rounds based on feedback of the participants. If everybody hates a particular theme it can be changed, I'm flexible.
11. Anything that could be considered popular classic rock is straight up banned. I’ve heard it all, trust me.
12. Have fun
If you have any questions on the rules or need any clarification or if I just plain forgot something, don’t hesitate to ask or let me know.

:metal Music Tastes:
My tastes range pretty much the full gamut of music. I’m mostly in to Prog and Metal or some mixture of the two and all their various sub-genre’s. I also really like a lot of Alternative Rock, Electronic music, Classic Rock, Ambient, Post-rock, Indie Rock, Classical, Dream Pop, Synth Pop, Jazz, Blues, Downtempo, Funk, and the list goes on. Mostly what I don’t like is Country music, especially Modern Country (although some older classic Country I’m OK with) and about 99.9% of Radio Pop (Top 40 crap). Basically, you take your life in to your own hands if you decide to send me Country or Radio Pop. A lot of Hip-Hop is hit or miss with me, but I do enjoy a lot of it, just be careful if you go down that route. I also recommend you check out my last.fm profile to get a better idea of what I have been in to recently, it’s linked in my sig.
Some things I have been looking for: Epic black/folk/Viking metal similar to Moonsorrow, Havukruunu or Finsterforst. Folky atmospheric metal similar to Agalloch. Bands with really slick guitar work similar to Dire Straits, Dave Matthews Band, or John Butler. Prog metal that isn’t all about being super technical all the time. You may be at a disadvantage if you try to find something that fits these because I am looking for very specific things.
:justjen The Rounds
(subject to change)
(all themed rounds are open to interpretation by each participant)
Round 1 – Open (15-minute limit)
Round 2 – Female Vocalists (there can be male vocalists, but it has to be a lead female vocalist) (15-minute limit)
Round 3 – Instrumental (Spoken Word is OK) (15-minute limit)
Round 4 – Non-Metal/Rock (10-minute limit)
Round 5 – Open (15-minute limit)
Cut-off Point (bottom 3 are cut)
Round 6 – Epic (Technically no limit, but be reasonable)
Round 7 – It’s all about SPEED! (10-minute limit)
Round 8 – How heavy can you go! (20-minute limit)
Round 9 – EP Round
Cut-Off Point (Bottom 3 are cut)
Final Round – Album Round (Technically no time limit but keep it reasonable. I don’t really want any 5-hour long albums…)
EP round rules
- Minimum of 3 songs
- Minimum of 30 minutes. Maximum of 40 minutes
- It is an open round, so no theme, but I would recommend coming up with some kind of theme (lyrical content, style, genre, etc.) for your EP, this could help with flow/cohesiveness
- The EP must contain at least 3 different artists and can not contain more that 2 songs per artist
- each EP will be scored on a 20 point scale
- flow/cohesiveness will be taken in to account and can net you up to an additional 5 points
- The EP containing my favorite song will get 1 additional point
- I may or may not give an additional half point for creativeness of your EP's title

Awesome! Good to have you.
2-4 more spots to fill

i'm ready for that sweet 2/10
Something like that :corn
-
Damn, that's a pretty good banned list. Do we start sending as soon as everyone is in? I'm gonna work on my playlist today so if you say we can send anytime I'll probably do it today so I don't forget later.
Reminder, you probably can't count on me for sending good classic prog rock :lol
-
Let's do this :metal
-
Sure, count me in. Your banned list seems at least mildly compatible with my tastes. Plus, you're gonna need some solid / traditional prog, power, and metal (and sometimes a combo of all three) to balance out your submissions.
-
I'll join if you'll have me dude?
-
I'm in if there's still room.
-
Glad I was already on the list - can't wait to get started.
-
I was going to leave sign ups open until Sunday, but I don't think a preliminary round would be exactly fair for those of you that had already signed up in the tracker thread. I think I'll go ahead and start this as soon as there are 10, which I'm only waiting on soupytwist to confirm. You can go ahead and send now if you would like.
-
I actually didn't realize only three rounds are open when I signed up (was in a hurry), and I'm not really ok with that because they limit me too much.
-
8. Soupytwist (tentative)
I'm happy to do this - but I'm kind off restricted to sending my submissions via Spotify links. If that is going to be a problem for you, or I'm taking the place of someone better suited then I'll sit this one out. Your call.
-
I also just now let him know that I'm restricted to Youtube/Spotify links, I mean I can also convert them to mp3 and send that but it's essentially the same thing, I don't have google play so dunno how it works exactly.
Anyway, just sent some good mu5ic
-
i'll send some crap in the evening i need a little bit of time to pick out some songs for the themed rounds
-
Given the list of participants, I think ...
(https://themidnightalliance.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/ive-made-a-huge-mistake.gif)
But here goes nuthin!
-
I would've joined but apparently I missed this. Well, I'm gonna root for Chad then. :P
-
Working on drafting my own thread at the moment so I'll send a song tonight. :metal

Seeing how I miss some of the roulettes because of my time zone and work, can I sign up for yours in advance? But only if it's not a straight up "one round - one elimination" roulette. :biggrin:
-

Can't you just take Luoto's place? Pretty sure he just dropped out because of the theme restrictions

I missed that! Hey, in that case I'd like to join. I don't have any vacations planned so I won't drop out midway like I did in Sacul's.

Every round will be a whole album? That should be interesting. Better you than me - if I were to try to listen to 80-100 new albums in 2-2.5 months it really wouldn't go so well. :) Assuming it's 8 to 10 rounds and 10 participants.

I haven't dropped out yet, I'm at least trying to negotiate the format first :P

Well, in that case I'm rooting for Chad! :lol
-
Well, in that case I'm rooting for Chad! :lol
Yay me!
-
Damn too late for this :lol. Sure there's no room for a few more of us? Maybe an elimination or something between those that didn't sign up beforehand :P
-
Well, I guess I jumped the gun on this a little bit. I didn't think I would get this much interest. So I'm going to expand the participants list to 12 to include Evermind and Sacul.

Don't worry about only sending Spotify links. I can always find other ways of getting the songs on to my Google Play playlists. So you are in!
For those of you that can send mp3's instead of Spotify/Youtube that would be preferred but not necessary.

Don't forget that themed rounds are negotiable. I want to make this as fun for everyone as possible. If there is a particular theme that most of you have an issue with just let me know and we can discuss changing the theme or just making the round open.
-
My vote is that the themes are perfectly fine just the way they are.
-
I think they're fine, personally.
I'll send mine after I sleep off this headache. I have some pretty interesting ideas that I hope you haven't heard before.
-
Apparently missed this one too..
-
Apparently missed this one too..
I can always squeeze in one more if you are interested. Just means I will be eliminated more people at the halfway point and before the final round. Besides I'm interested in what all the fogey's will send me in a roulette.
-
OK....count me in.
-
OK....count me in.
You're in!
Everyone send for round 1.
-
OK....count me in.
Good... wouldn't want you to cry about not being able to beat me one more time.

Edit - make sure you count 2 losses in RJ's roulette. :rollin
Hey, I gotta defend myself against the trash talking.
So continue to do the talkin' and I'll continue to do the walkin'!

(fogey) shots fired!!
In the meantime, whilst you guys were firing blanks, I sent epic viking metal :hat
Don't you mean shot fired? Fogey's need time to reload.

While you're walkin, head on over to 7-Eleven... me and Mrs TAC need some chocolate syrup, beef jerky, and a 32 oz slurpee. Any flavour will do.
-
I have 5 submissions so far and my playlist length for round 1 is already over 50 minutes :metal
you set really long time limits, every round is the epic round potentially :lol
anyways my song is in, i have picks up through round 5 actually but i haven't bothered to pick beyond that 'cause i'm gonna get cut after round 5 :metal
-
I have a question. When can we send for round 2? I just ask as I have a limited amount of music with lead female vocals. Out of the four bands I am thinking of sending, I can see at least two of the participants in this roulette sending any of the four.
When is the earliest I can send without it being seen as cock blocking, as I should not wish to participate in such bad roulette etiquette :lol

oceans of slumber is banned btw

Dammit! They ain't on the banned list...
Out of the three bands I am thinking of sending, I can see at least two of the participants in this roulette sending any of the three.

you have to look at his RYM ratings too, it's annoying :lol

I suppose I could put every band in my RYM ratings list on the banned list here as well, but that may be even more annoying.....and long.....

it's totally annoying as hell to do, i would know, but it's less annoying than having to reject three entries every round because you've heard 'em before but they weren't on the official banned list :P
-

Off to add to my banned list...

POA, I see a band on your RYM without any ratings but it says you own the CDs. Still good to suggest?

Yeah, anything unrated is good to go. I tend to buy cd's and vinyl and then never listen to them. I buy shit tons of music....but as I said in the first post, it's possible something could have slipped my mind...
By the way I just added a bunch of stuff to the banned list here, to try to alleviate any confusion.

I found several that aren't on his RYM at all. Which is good, because about 7 of my initial guesses were in there already :lol
-
Updated my banned list again. Trying to make it a bit more thorough.

My sign-up is cancelled. Evermind would be first in line to take my place I think.

Either way, I'll be starting my listening tomorrow.
EDIT - Actually I'm going to start now... Then once I get Sacul's song the fun and games can begin.

Alright, I just got Sacul's song. So give me a few minutes and I will cook up the Album Art Guessing Game Thingy!

B4 is Massive Attack - Mezzanine sent by Sacul :corn
Correct!
And just an interesting tidbit, there are 6 feet and 1 hand in these album art snippets.
-
hmm i can't tell for sure but is B3 Acid Mist Tomorrow by Hypno5e? If it is Train sent it but I don't think it is

A4 looks like a Panopticon album?

I didn't even recognize my own submission's artwork for a minute :facepalm: :lol

Nope

Mezzanine is probably the only cover there I had a chance of guessing.

Indeed :tup

So here are some initial thoughts after my first listen. These are in no particular order and may or may not have any impact on the final scores. I'm going to try to get about 10 listens in
- That Outro!
- Rekindled my love for a genre by utilizing an instrument not normally found in said genre
- Got me banging my head several times :metal
- Expect the unexpected
- The vocals are sort of mostly good
- This makes me feel things
- Its good, but I feel something is missing
- The build up to the chorus gets me everytime
- The synths don't work for me in places
- That is smooooth
- It builds nicely, but it may be too long for what it is
- Cant complain
-
I also thought B3 looked like Acid Mist Tomorrow in the old grid :lol
C3 is Nothing More - Nothing More tho, sent by home?
And is A1 Exist - Sunlight (Parama)?

If anything is certain in modern life it's that there will be a band named after anything you can think of :lol
Joke is, this band writes avant garde, post black metal songs about plant life. It's perfect DTF fodder. I'm gonna send them in this roulette at some point now, just for the lols :corn
-
amazing! just for the record, I completely made that up and had no idea.
-
Yea I realise that now :blush
I just saw the band name and thought "oh, someone else has heard of them. I could see someone sending Puppies this." :lol Didn't even check the album.

Mezzanine is probably the only cover there I had a chance of guessing.

Here are the results for round 1! Overall a pretty decent round.
Train of Naught
Rivers of Nihil - The Silent Life
I've been trying to think back on all the technical death metal albums I've listened to over the years (and its a lot) and remember if any of them ever used a saxophone. I don't think I have ever heard saxophone in this genre before, very unorthodox (in a good way). I like the way it came in subtly at first and then follows with a full bore sax solo. It fits so well. The rest of the song is quite well done tech death. It's technical, but not to the detriment of the rest of the song. It flows well and that main riff has been stuck in my head for the last few days now. The vocals are good and don't get in the way. My only complaint, and it's a small one, would be the bass isn't audible enough in parts of the song. Otherwise a great track for round 1 and it put you in first place.....for now.
9.5/10
Jingle.boy
Termaze - An Ordinary Dream (Enla Momento)
This song grabbed my attention immediately and was an early front runner. Even though it dropped from the number 1 spot for the round, it's still a close number 2. So many awesome riffs to bang your head to throughout this song. And some great sing-a-long moments too. I really like this guys voice, he reminds me of Michael Erikson of Circus Maximus a bit. The only thing that bought it down after several listens was the lyrics. They started to bother me more and more the more I heard the song. They seem a little lackluster and for the length of the song they are repeated way too often. Minor complaint though. The breakdown in the middle with the strings and the piano is really nice. Then the buildup back in to the last half is really well done. This is Power Prog done right.
9/10
Soupytwist
dEUS - Keep You Close
I really like the orchestral arrangements on this song. Keeps it interesting and gives it great dynamics. This song had the best chorus of all the songs in Round 1 and it's been stuck in my head. The way they build up to the chorus is great too. Otherwise it's a fairly simple song (which isn't a bad thing), but catchy, and never gets boring. Not much more to say, it's just a plain good song. Great first round pick!
8/10
TACataracts
CastleWay - The Hunt
The violin to begin the song is fantastic and it pretty much goes non stop throughout the song. I kind of didn't like it at first, but it grew on me the more I listened to it. Even though these 2 bands are pretty different stylistically it reminds me of Ne Obliviscarus at times (probably because of the violin). There's also some great guitar riffs that intermingles really well with the violin. This song cruises along with a lot of fluid changes throughout. I was surprised to see how little known this band is. They definitely need some more exposure. A great round 1 track and not something I would have expected from one of the fogey's :D

Nothing More - God Went North
I had already heard this band's latest album and this song is better than most of that album. I really like the vocals and lyrics. The vocals have this emotional quality that fits the lyrics well. The instrumentation is great and has a lot of dynamics. My only issue is the song could probably be a little shorter and the ending doesn't do anything for me.
7.5/10
Evermind
Bjørn Riis - Winter
This one took me a while to fully appreciate, with the first few listens feeling like it was dragging on too long. This definitely has a very Pink Floyd/Steven Wilson vibe to it. I like the guitar work a lot, but the solo's are mixed too low. I want to hear them sing out above the rest of the instruments, the leads just kind of get drowned out. On the other hand what is there is damn excellent. The part around the 6 minute mark reminds me a lot of Animals era Pink Floyd and his vocals remind me a lot of Steven Wilson. The quieter parts remind of The Sky Moves Sideways era of Porcupine Tree. All good stuff. It still feels a little over long, but I warmed up to it a lot more than my initial reaction to it.
7.5/10
Tomislav
Gallowbraid - Ashen Eidolon
I have very mixed feelings on this track. On the one hand the Agalloch similarities are very apparent, from the vocals, to the pacing, the riffs, the changes from loud to soft. But I feel like there is something missing to bring it up to that Agalloch quality. The drums don't really do anything interesting. The bass is just kind of there. The riffs get repeated a bit too often. And I feel the song length isn't justified. If the song were closer to the 10 minute mark it would probably score higher. This may all seem like a lot of negative, but overall the song was decent and at no point did I feel the song was bad. I just felt like I should be listening to Agalloch instead.
7/10
Sacul
Massive Attack - Teardrop
This song was an early front runner, but fell down the more I listened. It's very chill and relaxing, which I like, and the vocals are nice and it's super smooth, but it doesn't do enough to keep my interest throughout the whole song. I feel like this would be great for some background music while I'm lounging around, but doesn't really work for me at most other times. 5/10 for general listening, 9/10 for relaxing, lounge around music. So I'll score it right in the middle.
7/10
Elite
Schizoid Lloyd - Suicide Penguin
I should really like this. It's quirky, dynamic, technical, heavy, interesting vocals, and spastic (plus the band name is awesome). All qualities I like, but something about this just doesn't work as well as it should. Bands like Diablo Swing Orchestra, System of a Down, Sikth, and Exotic Animal Petting Zoo all do this better. I think it all comes down to how well the various transitions and quirkiness is done. The technical aspects are all done well and I can tell a lot went in to this song and I like the vocals/lyrics too.
6/10
Parama
Exist - Writhe
I really wanted to love this song. It reminded me of Between the Buried and Me at times (which I love). But the problems begin almost immediately. The first 2 minutes are.....not good. Then the vocals are too loud in the mix, plus they aren't the greatest harsh vocals. After the 2 minute mark the song is much better. There is a lot of good atmosphere and the guitar solos are mostly good, with some great dissonant leads, reminding me of a heavier King Crimson. The last 3 minutes are fantastic though (best outro of the round goes to this song), but that's not enough for a 9 minute song.
6/10
TwoSuitsLuke
Turisas - Miklagard Overture
When you said you were sending me some Epic Viking Metal, I think I may have got my hopes up a little too high. I was hoping for some Moonsorrow-like epicness. I probably let my self down getting my hopes up that high. This is epic in certain ways, but the overuse of synths/orchestras kind of killed it for me. If that was toned back a bit or they made use of more traditional folk instruments it would have scored higher. The clean vocals are only good in parts. I do like the harsh vocals when they come in. The outro with the choir is pretty epic though.
6/10
Kattoelox
Sons of Seasons - Bubonic Waltz
Sorry Kattoelox, this didn't perform as well for me as you were hoping. As soon as the synthesizers came in near the beginning I had to roll my eyes a bit. Almost killed the song for me completely. They disappeared for a bit and the song went in to the chorus with some nice riffs and double bass, but then they came back to try to derail the song again. And they kept coming back. Then the vocals are only ok and the church organ synths were kind of cheesy. If you are going to do cheesy in power metal, you have to go full cheese, like DragonForce...
5.5/10
-
i will be the first to say that that rivers of nihil song probably deserves its score
should've sent a different exist song though i guess, oh well :lol
check out If or When at the very least if you didn't like the heavier stuff in Writhe, honestly that's one of the heaviest bits of the entire album tbh
-
Yippee!! Nice to come out of the gate strong.
-
Go ahead and send for round 2 as well, aka the Female Vocalist round.
-
:metardica: :metardica: :metardica: :metardica: :metardica:
Yeah dude, the sax is subtle as fuck. Album came out yesterday and it's growing on me really quickly. The Silent Life is one of the better tracks, but there's more to love on there if you liked this as much as you suggest.
Not sure whether to continue with heavy shit or more relaxing stuff for the female round, will probably send before I go to sleep though.
Also there's one band I cannot believe has not been sent in the first round, I would have if Rivers of Nihil was banned but guess I get another chance in round 5 :corn
EDIT: sand
-
OW! Testing the waters - talk about a belly flop. Went in the wrong direction with that one, will have to think the next one over. I honestly thought that would be a better one to send because the whole rest of the album is so much heavier and not synth-y :lol
-
My general listening it lounging around most of the time that's probably why I love trip-hop so much :P. But I'd still recommend you checking our the album, that's one of the safest tracks and the obvious single, other songs are harsher and more experimental but still so damn atmospheric.

I definitely plan on checking out all the albums from the roulette at some point. It's pretty difficult to judge an entire band by just one song.

Yeah, kind of crashed and burned with that one, the synths really killed it for me. I have faith in you sending a killer track next round :tup
-
Well I screwed that up :lol
Gonna send in a minute but there's a very good chance I will be cockblocked.
Sent, fingers crossed I beat Sacul :lol
-
Just listened to the first and worst songs. Glad I did so ... if just to know what to avoid. But damn... Kattoe, that (in my tastes) was a terrific song. Gonna check these guys out.
Methinks I'm going to be screwed for the 'heavy' round. Nothing in my library would ever include the description of 'death' or 'core' as its genre. I got a couple of cards I can play that should be able to compete, but still won't be in the same league with some of you.
Question for Puppies... females this round - does it need to be 100% female, or is a duet acceptable? Just checking.
-
I've got no clue what you sent, Luke :lol
-
I've got no clue what you sent, Luke :lol
Well I don't listen to a lot with female vocals. On the cards were Bent Knee, Oceans of Slumber and Obscure Sphinx. They are all off the table so the only other thing I had to send is a band I know you love. You may not have considered them though :lol
-
I think I know what you sent, don't worry, I went with some obscure triphop as usual :P
-
I expected you to like it more but this is fine as well :tup
Also, sent for round 2. I'm very limited when it comes to female singers. Fortunately, I found something great that you didn't hear :D
-
Nice. I’ll take it. Will send around 2 tonight.

For the heavy round, that doesn't necessarily mean death metal or anything core. And that's really not exactly what I had in mind for that round either, it could be a song from any genre. For example, the band Swans has some really heavy stuff but they aren't a metal band. Then there are tons of doom metal, sludge metal, funeral doom, drone, and post metal that are all super heavy. But as I said before, all themed rounds are open to interpretation.
As for this round. It doesn't need to be 100% female, as long as the female vocals are the main focus.

Haha, I'm giving examples. There are many directions you could go with "heavy".
-
POA, I'm curious just how into non-metal genres you are (relevant for several submissions I am tossing around). Like if you had to rank them, what tickles your fancy most outside of metal, and how much do you enjoy it compared to prog/death metal? Are you looking specifically to branch out and try new stuff or is that just a fun bonus to you?
-
well all the really good songs i wanted to send for this round are from banned artists so i guess i gotta send some crap instead

Not in the roulette, but curious - would The Glass Prison work for something like this? I think there are a lot of songs that I describe as heavy that some of my friends who are really into death metal and such don't.
-
yeah personally i don't think a song is heavy unless it's 80 solid minutes of blastbeats & open low B strumming distorted through five layers of buzzsaw effects but i know some people think fall out boy is the heaviest band in existence so it's pretty subjective
-
I just sent some train-core this round, might be heavier than my last submission but I'll make sure I save some heaviness for the hevvi round

I really in to a lot of non metal stuff. I really like Folk music, Indie Rock, Dream Pop, several types of electronica music (not so much techno though), Alternative Rock, Jazz/Fusion, Funk, Reggae, Punk, some Classical. For me it's not so much about branching out (I've heard just about every type of music out there), but finding new artists that I can enjoy. Like I said in the OP, you are pretty safe sending anything outside of Country and Radio Pop.

The Glass Prison definitely has some heavy sections. I'm not sure I would describe the song as a whole "heavy" though. But then again, heavy means different things to different people. It's all subjective.

Bingo. Except the part out 80 solid minutes of blastbeats. You can keep that song to yourself... :lol
-
I would probably have a hard time with that round - I definitely consider The Glass Prison to be a heavy song. Hmm. What about something like, Inferno or King of Terrors?
Or let me ask you this - what's something from your banned list that you consider heavy but isn't death or black metal or one of the genres bolded in jingle's post?

Besides the aforementioned Swans, King Crimson has some fairly heavy stuff. Or stuff like Rammstein which some people consider Industrial metal. Then there's Scott Walker's more recent albums which are experimental Post-Industrial Baroque Pop. Or Univers Zero, which is instrumental prog rock. Lustmord is super heavy dark ambient.
-
I think we might have totally different definitions of heavy. Hopefully I didn't make jingle boy more confused, because I know I am. :) Interested in what the submissions will be, and how they'll get ranked.

I'm like a baby in a topless bar right now.
I'm just going with my definition of heavy. One would think "heavy" has a bit of a range around that target. I'm pretty sure I can at least hit the board. And I assume that for every themed round the quality of song matters more? A shit heavy song is still shit, right?
-
Yeah, before I started listening to atmospheric post-blackgazecore I got basically 0 chicks, now I'm like a chick magnet, it's crazy!

Quality matters most to me. It could be the heaviest song in the world, but if it sucks balls, it will score badly.

I too will struggle on the metal rounds if I get that far. Dream Theater, Maiden and some Symphonic Metal acts (Clean vocals only) are my limit!!!

Oh right... there's an elimination group after a few rounds. I forgot about that! Didn't mean to be presumptuous in assuming that I would make it that far.
But I will.

I won't :hat

I have 6 submissions for round 2 so far. Genres include Post-hardcore, Trip Hop, Chamber Pop, Symphonic Metal, and Folk. Diverse so far. :tup

I have 8 submissions now. And my playlist is super short compared to last round, sitting at about 40 minutes. You guys really dialed back the length for this round.
-
Will be sending mine shortly, after I finish up my write-ups (my music collection is on my desktop PC and I am at my laptop at the moment).
-
Alright, I need 3 more submissions. I was hoping to get all of them before tomorrow morning so I can start my listening while driving for work tomorrow. No rush though... :biggrin:

It's a video game live streaming service. Well, I think it's more than just video games but that's all I've ever seen associated with it. People upload videos of themselves playing games, sometimes on camera, sometimes not, but they're live, and often interact with their audience. It's fairly popular with, as Vincent Gambini would say, "the yoots."

Results Are IN!!
Soupytwist
(Sweden) First Aid Kit - Fireworks
Loved the vocals from the get go. Something about the way female vocals harmonize like this just sounds great to me. The rest of the song is fairly simple, but it's really just serving as a vessel for the fantastic vocals and lyrics (which are also fairly simple but at the same time fantastic). This song is outstanding in every way and I loved it more the more I heard it. This beat out the Goldfrapp song at the last minute. Great pick Soupy, you get the Round 2 victory!
10/10
Tomislav
(UK) Goldfrapp - Stranger
This was my favorite of the round for most of the week, but just barely lost out to First Aid Kit in the end. This is simply beautiful. It flows almost perfectly. This takes Chamber Pop and adds a folky element to it with a touch of chill dreaminess. I'm curious to check out more from this artist to see if they have some more upbeat songs, mostly because I'm curious what the singer would sound like if she belted out more. This song is also the perfect length, not too short and doesn't overstay its welcome. When the song ended I wanted to start it over again and again.... A much stronger showing for you in round 2.
9.5/10
TwoSuitsLuke
(UK) Portishead - Glory Box
I have an image in my head of this song being played in a 1950's smoky lounge. This has a sexy, yet melancholic vibe to it. There's a great guitar solo that comes in toward the end. The lyrics are also super catchy. I did get a few weird looks at work when I would randomly hum this song and sing "Give me a reason to be a woman, I just wanna be a woman." I'm glad someone sent Portishead, since I had always wanted to check them out, but never got around to it. I'm going to have to check out the rest of this album now.
9/10
Parama
(Germany) Esben and the Witch - No Dog
This has a lo-fi quality to it at the beginning, but it fits the sound they are going for and the vocals. Love the dynamics of the song. At first I didn't like to vocals at the end. I felt they needed to be more powerful to finish out the song, but the more I listened to it I realized she has this almost vulnerable determination to her vocals and I started to kind of fall in love with her voice. This is one of those songs that I just liked more and more each time I heard it. I wanted to look in to this album further, but they I happened upon your review for it. Seems like this is the only good song there. I'll still give it a once over to see if I like any of the rest of it.
9/10
Sacul
(USA) Saltillo - Giving In
You are keeping up the trend of sending super smooth songs. The singer reminds me of Shakira times, for some reason. I enjoy the quieter parts during the verses more, but that's not to say the chorus is bad. This is actually quite a bit better than the song you sent last round. I really like the lyrics. The line "I don't mind the people staring, cause I know they never see me anyway" really resonates with me. It's a pretty powerful line, in my opinion. This song was definitely more up my alley.
8/10
TAC
(Greece) Bare Infinity - In Desertis
Leave it to one of the fogeys to blow the lid off this round with heaviness and speed. First of all, the drummer here is really good and knows how to use speed to the song's advantage. The vocals are good, but nothing to get too excited about (nothing mind blowing here). Closest band I could compare this to would be Epica (without the harsh vocals), but I don't think Epica has released a song this good in recent years. I like the overall heaviness and the few sections of quick blast beats were fun (made me actually sit down at my drum kit to learn this song, it's fun to play). Not quite as memorable or original sounding as your round 1 song, but a strong song in an overall strong round.
8/10
Train of Naught
(UK) Rolo Tomassi - The Hollow Hour
Love that intro! The vocal and instrumental variety is nice, although I don't particularly love the harsh vocals in this. They aren't bad, but I feel like there should be a different style of harsh vocals on this (like maybe something more Tommy Rogers style?). I really like the ethereal/airy quality to the clean vocals. There are parts that really remind me of something Envy or Devil Sold His Soul would do. Overall this song is very strong. The only reason it didn't rank higher is the majority of the songs this round were very very good. I'm not sure how I never came across this band before, but I will definitely be checking them out further.
7.5/10
Evermind
Avatarium - Moonhorse
I thought I would love this just based on your description, but I ended up only liking it. Glad I didn't give you that preemptive round 2 victory :D But still I love female fronted traditional doom metal. I actually kind of wished this was more heavy throughout. I think it might have made it more memorable. There wasn't really anything I could really latch on to that made me want to come back for more. Not quite what I was expecting, but still a pretty decent song.
7/10
Elite
Golden Caves - Child of Mine
This one actually had a much lower score at first. It took me quite a few listens to finally come around to this. I do like the touches of prog rock mixed with the alternative/hard rock base. The vocals were pretty good. The rest of the band sounded kind of generic, but they held the song up reasonably well. I will definitely check out the rest of the album to see if I like the rest of it more.
7/10
Home
(Netherlands) Eefje de Visser - Sheef
This has a very chillwave vibe to it. I like her voice. I think I had a hard time connecting with it, because I don't understand a word of Dutch (at least I'm pretty sure it's Dutch, correct me if I'm wrong). This normally wouldn't be a problem for me in music, but I think in this style of song the listener needs an understanding of the lyrics and he/she is listening to it. Now none of this is the fault of the song, I just don't speak Dutch, so my fault.
7/10
Kattoelox
Enya - Even In the Shadows
This song seems to not know when to stop. The vocals get pretty repetitive near the end. Enya has a nice voice and the ambient, chilled out song structure was nice and makes this a decent song for background listening while relaxing. A stronger song than your last round pick, so at least you are on the upswing. ;)
6.5/10
jingle.boy
(USA) Roswell Six - Need
Not digging the vocal style here at all. The rasp in here voice is a little much, imo. In fact, after about 4 listens I started skipping this song on the playlist, because I disliked the vocals so much. The music is a little on the boring side as well, although the fretless bass in parts is pretty cool. The guitar solo in the outro was pretty cool too, except the vocals kept interrupting it. Sorry Jingle, you swung and missed on this one.

An Improvement Was Made
time to send some crap
-
The new album is particularly heavy on the calmer/ethereal sections, I think you'll like it. Especially the single "Aftermath" which is basically a dreamy post-rock tune. Sending R3 soon
-
I think I said it in PM, Goldfrapp tried many different genres, from trip-hop to synthpop to chamber pop, I'm sure you'll find something.

What are your favourite Dream Theater instrumentals? This answer is vital to my song-picking-strategy for every host :corn

I had a sneaking suspicion that mine was the song you referenced as being in last place - it's kinda hit or miss... not much middle ground for those I've introduced this album to. Them's tastes for ya! Ya just never know what's going to click and what's not.
-
Golden Caves are from The Netherlands as well.
-
No shame losing to Glory Box, fantastic track :heart . But yeah check that Saltillo record, is quite varied and has lots of cello.
-
Nice, I’ll take the 8! Will send later today after work. Still trying to narrow it down.

Sent one of my 'go to' instrumentals. Maybe I should've searched for a post-rock song from all my newer discoveries but I worked a 48 hour shift the last two days :|
-
I sent one of the only things I thought POA would enjoy because all my other instrumentals are related to something on the banned list/I assume he'd hate it :lol
-
10 songs in, 2 to go. I know Evermind already said he wont be able to submit til Monday. So Home, you have until Monday :corn
-
I would do it now, but I think I will do some Twitch streaming instead.
What do you stream?
Sorry, I missed you post here. I just now saw it.
Lately I've been streaming Fortnite, MLB The Show, and Forza Horizon 3. I'm planning on streaming a full playthrough of an RPG starting soon, but I haven't decided which yet. I've had suggestions for The Witcher 3 (but I'm already in the middle of a playthrough on that) or Morrowind (which might be fun). I'm open to other suggestions.
EDIT - Why didn't anyone tell me there was so many typo's in my Round 2 write ups.....Jeez. I will proofread the next set of write ups a little more carefully... :\
-
Oh Man this is a rough round. I could think of about 6 instrumentals and 4 are on Pups banned list.

results when?
I had a long list on instrumental music to choose from and went with something I never thought I’d send except to Sacul had he not kicked me before his EP Round
-
results when?
I still don't have 2 songs. So I guess it depends on when I get them.
-
Yeah, as I said, usually I can't send during the weekend. Sending now.
Edit: sent something unusual for me.
-
I get the comment regarding not understanding the lyrics as I guess part of the charm of Eefje de Visser's music is the way she uses iyr language.
Sending now, sorry for the delay

This was the weakest round so far, but there was still some really great songs.....and then some not so great.
Train of Naught
(UK) Three Trapped Tigers - Engrams
Electronic Math Rock? Very much reminds me of Minus the Bear in spots (something in the drum patterns/sounds and overall groove of the song). Has a very 80's sound to it, but not in a bad way, in other spots. The ending is epic! That buildup to the end is something else. This one definitely had that unique quality more than any other song this round. I will be checking out this album. This is Instrumental music that is right up my alley. You seem to get my music tastes, for the most part, no matter what genre it is. You get your second round victory!
9/10
Tomislav
(USA) Russian Circles - Afrika
I've heard Russian Circles before and this seems pretty laid back for them. What I had heard from them previously was heavier. This kind of sounds like Crescendo-core, but I like that kind of stuff. It's a slow builder that seems to just continue to add layer upon layer until it finally opens up in to an epic piece of post-rock(metal?). It ends up sounding almost triumphant until the second half kicks in. Then it becomes a bit more doomy with more minor chords being mixed in. It kind of gives the song this two sides of the same coin feel to it. I like it and you get second place again.
8.5/10
TAC
(India) The Minerva Conduct - Unearth
Probably the most headbang worthy song in this round. It's got some djenty-ness in it, but it doesn't beat you over the head with that sound. There are some really cool guitar solo's and the drums are pretty awesome, with some cool blast beats placed sporadically. There's tasteful use of keyboards throughout, including some really cool soundscapes in the quieter sections. The bass player really gets a chance to shine in those quieter sections as well. I think this is my favorite song you have sent thus far.
8.5/10
Jingle.boy
(Norway) Dimension Act - Drawing the Lines of Mortal Existence: Pre-Spective
I don't know why but the beginning made me smile. It had this comfortable familiarity to it and it just plain rocks! It sounds like an epic overture, which makes sense since it is the opening act of a six part suite. It brings a lot of ideas to the table and melds them pretty well (it probably works much better in the context of the full song). The keyboards seem to get the front and center treatment here, which is good because they are very enjoyable. The rest of the band is also very competent and knows how to right an interesting song. I will be checking out this song in full and the rest of the album once the roulette is over. Definitely a very good comeback from the previous round for you.
8/10
Kattoelox
(Brazil) Bittencourt Project - Primeiro Amor
Now were talking! Wasn't expecting an acoustic Spanish guitar style instrumental from you. Although this may have benefited slightly from where it ended up on the playlist (not to say this song is bad in any way), because it fell towards the middle and was kind of a nice interlude between the first and second half of the playlist, its still a really cool acoustic guitar solo. Now I'm familiar with Rafael Bittencourt, but wasn't aware of his solo project. I have always enjoyed his guitar playing and this is no exception. I also love Spanish style guitar playing (how did you know?). Basically this is short and sweet and the best song you have sent so far, by far! I'm very interested to here the rest of this album now.
8/10
Evermind
(Germany) Beyond the Bridge - Triumph of Irreality
This is a very Dream Theater-esque instrumental piece. The difference is I like this more than DT's recent instrumental songs. The sound kind of reminds me of something like Stream of Consciousness. All the instruments are interesting to listen to throughout, with the exception of some of the keyboard patches that are used. Most of the keyboards sound good though. This is your best song choice so far in this roulette!
8/10
Parama
(USA) El Drugstore - Steakback
The second most unique track this round. Starts with some feedback sounds. Then there is some fretless bass (maybe). It sounds like it and it sounds cool. The dissonance in the beginning sounds like something Deathspell Omega would do. I like it. Bass playing sounds a lot like Geddy Lee's style and sound. Bass is very prominent, which I like. This is a very different instrumental from what I'm used to. The playing is technical, but not in a beat you over the head, "look how good we are at our instruments, hur hur" kind of way. Not sure about the flow. The music changes up quite frequently but doesn't seem to flow well from one section to the next. I thought maybe after many repeated listens it would make more sense, but it never did. Still, flow aside, the song is pretty damn good. Probably an album worth looking into further.
7.5/10
Sacul
(Japan) Kashiwa Daisuke - City in the Lake
If there is one thing I can count on from Sacul, it's his ability to send something that I can relax or chill out to. This is no different. Although I wasn't expecting a Jazz/Classical song. This starts with a simple piano melody that eventually comes together with violin and cymbals. The song continues to build from there, adding drums, bass, and more violins. It's quite a natural progression. I kind of wish it stayed with the slower more laid back tempo. After the 5 minute mark the pace picks up, but I find this part less enjoyable. It does slow back down again, but by that point the song has lost some of the initial magic it had. Still pretty good though and the build up to the ending has it's moments.
7/10
Soupytwist
(UK) Hope of the States - The Black Amnesias
This was the song I had the hardest time getting a grasp on in this round. Not because it was overly complex or completely different from what I'm used to, but the first half a dozen times I heard it I couldn't remember a single thing from it right after the song ended. Things did start to click after more listens, though. Just not enough to score very high. There's some cool stuff going on, like the little acoustic guitar interludes and the synths in the background carrying throughout the song. There is a lot of cool tremolo picked guitar parts too. In parts it reminded me of a much tamer Mars Volta. Not a bad song by any means, just not a great song, at least in my opinion.
7/10
Home
(USA) Caspian - Arcs of Command
This one seemed to have a lot going for it at first, but a culmination of the ending (which I didn't like) and the song losing steam the more I listened to it resulted in a lesser score than I initially had for it. It kind of falls in to the post-rock by numbers trap at times and it goes on for a little longer than it should. Despite that it is definitely beautiful at times, with some triumphant sounding moments. Definitely not a bad song. Just not the top tier of post rock.
7/10
Elite
(UK) GoGo Penguin - Hopopono
This has a very jazzy feel to it. I like jazz. This though seems very samey throughout. I hoped I would pick up more nuances the more I heard it, but that wasn't the case. This just seems to go along at the same pace, without much change. It's well played, but should have probably been shorter, for what it is. Which is crazy because it's not a very long song to begin with...
6/10
TwoSuitsLuke
(USA) Baroness - Stretchmarker
This kind of had the same problem as the GoGo Penguin song. It went on for too long without any change. This one fell to last place because it just felt like filler to fill up time on an album. Maybe it works better in the context of the album, but not as a stand alone song.

Disjointed may be too strong of a word. It just doesn't flow as well as it should. I may come around to more once I listen to the album in full.
-
the album is pretty song-oriented tbh & some of the tracks are just strings of riffs & stuff tbh but the general sound is just something that made me wanna replay it a billion times for some reason so

That's the only track like that on the album. There's one other instrumental, not acoustic, and the rest are songs with vocals. Just so you don't go into it expecting a whole album that sounds like Primeiro Amor. (Not sure what your tastes are, but it's a great album).

I'm looking for actual albums. I thought about changing the ninth round to an EP round where everyone creates their own EP, but I haven't decided if I want to do that yet.

OK, some early thoughts
1. This is absolutely gorgeous music.
2. One of the longer songs this round, but it flows so well, it doesn't feel long.
3. I wasn't expecting this from this vocalist.
4. This was fun.
5. The ****** kind of hang me up a bit, but the instrumentation is beautiful.
6. Some of the vocal melodies seem awkward.
7. I'm not sure what I just heard.
8. From what I've heard about this artist, this isn't what I imagined it would sound like.
9. Bored with the first half, the second half impressed me!
10. The lyrics are kind of....(how do I put this nicely.....).....dumb???
11. *****, you have a good ear for good melodies, and this is no different
12. Groovy and funky
-
1. maybe
2. no
3. no
4. no
5. probably
6. there aren't harmonies
7. ???
8. dunno
9. i don't think the song is split into halves so no
10. dunno, hope not
11. maybe
12. no
-
Capdown - Pound for the Sound
7.? :neverusethis:
-
1. no
2. no
3. I highly doubt it
4. maybe
5. what?
6. no
7. no
8. no, because you've never heard this before
9. no
10. yeah, the lyrics are dumb I guess
11. I don't know
12. most likely this one's it.
-
Oops, I messed up. Number 6 was supposed to say vocal melodies, not harmonies.... :facepalm:
-
darn, so i'm #6 then :neverusethis:
-
I could see 1, 3, 6, 8 or 11 be mine, probably the awkward vocal melodies or "wasnt expecting this from this vocalist"
-
1. Possibly.
2. No, mine is around the 4 minute mark.
3. No. The vocalist isn't known for anything outside of this act (I think).
4. Outside chance - I wouldn't class it as a 'fun' song though.
5. Don't really understand the first part of the comment? The second part about the 'instrumentation is beautiful' could fit though.
6. Don't think so.
7. No. Mine is fairly straight forward.
8. No. This artist is known for one sound and this song fits perfectly into it.
9. Don't think so, the song doesn't dramatically shift in sound.
10. Unlikely the lyrics aren't something that standout.
11. I'd like to think this is me....but probably isn't.
12. Wouldn't call mine Funky.
Lets open things up and have a vowel 'I' please.
-
I'll take 9 :-\
-
4. This was fun.
7. I'm not sure what I just heard.
The only two that I can see being mine. Probably #7 though, I'm so crashing out of this roulette :lol
-
I'm either 4 or 10 - with and outside shot at 12. Although, a drinking song about a band touring small towns... how is that dumb? Pedestrian, sure... but dumb?
-
Man I hope mine is 1, 2, or 11. Also give me an E.
Or maybe it's 9...

7. I'm not sure what I just heard.
9. Bored with the first half, the second half impressed me!
10. The lyrics are kind of....(how do I put this nicely.....).....dumb???

So, if lucky enough to make the next cut, I had a track earmarked for the Epic Round. I've listened to it a number of times over the last week, and tonight while doing so, I notice the band is on the banned list. :censored

So I should have write ups done tomorrow (Friday) in the evening. There is one song that is getting a perfect 10/10 and at least a couple more that are getting 9's. This was overall a very good round. Only one clunker in the bunch.

I don't know them personally, just seen them around. :lol That band is the fairytale of our study, since that is one of the bands that started out with the help of one of our artist management teams (at least 95% of artist management teams accomplish nothing at all), while this band recently sold out the Melkweg OZ for an album release (or EP release, not sure) so it's one of the more successful bands/artists of everything that has been 'kickstarted' with the help of some fellow students here. Can't say I'm really familiar with the music but I know what they look like
Listening to that song now and it sounds dope dude! Gonna check them out some more for sure

I see someone sent Beach House-Myth. Shadow Ninja, who did very well in my roulette also sent me this song. I wonder if this is the track Pup was describing when he said this:
OK, some early thoughts
7. I'm not sure what I just heard.
Because this is what I said about it:
First Impressions:
"I have no f'n clue WTF I just f'n listened to."
:lol

Listening to Myth (or the entire Bloom album tbh) is like a hypnotic/therapeutic experience in the trippiest way
I would never get a WTF kind of feeling out of it though, that sounds more like the Diablo Swing Orchestras or the öOoOoOoOoOos or the Igorrrs, none of which have been sent
My money is still on luke getting the WTF snippet :lol I had a similar reaction to that song in my roulette

Igorrr is definitely the weirdest artist I listen to :lol he is creative though, you can give him that.
Definitely definitely check out his tune 'Chicken Sonata' on youtube though, honestly. The music is very inoffensive, and the concept (without spoiling it to you) is simply brilliant. No growls (not even vocals on this one at all), I promise.

Round 4 Results
Kattoelox
(USA) Tycho - Dye
KTLX you are definitely back in this roulette. You hit it out of the park with this song. This is absolutely gorgeous music. It hits all my Downtempo/Chillwave buttons just right, with a cool relaxed groove, nice synth melodies, and great atmosphere/ambiance. I like how the song kind of ebbs and flows, not unlike a lot of Post-Rock. I would normally say that this type of music is good for relaxing and zoning out to, but the lead synths make this a song that demands your focus, but in a good way. One thing I have been doing with all the songs I have been sent is check out their ratings on RYM (this in no way has an effect on my rating of any of the songs in this roulette) and I was surprised how low the rating for this album is. I was expecting at least an average of 4 stars. Anyway excellent excellent song. :tup
10/10
Tomislav
(USA) Giles Corey - No One Is Ever Going to Want Me
One of the longer songs this round, but it flows so well, it doesn't feel long. You mentioned in the PM you sent with the song that this can be considered kind of depressing/downer/sad music :(. But Steven Wilson would always say that the saddest music is often times some of the most beautiful music. I tend to agree with Mr. Wilson. This starts off very minimalist with some haunting vocals, then builds with synths and turns a bit more upbeat towards the end, which I like. The drummer is also doing some really cool things. In places this reminds me a bit of the band Low. It may be sad, but it is beautiful at the same time. Good choice.
9/10
Train
(UK) White Moth Black Butterfly - An Ocean Away
I wasn't expecting this from Daniel Tompkins. He is one of my favorite modern vocalists and this song just reaffirms my thoughts on that. He can sing whatever he damn well pleases and make is sound good. The female vocals are also fantastic (although I'm not sure who this is, would love to know if she has anything else I can look up). I like the Downtempo-ness (is that a word) to this and the strings are beautiful. I also really like the lyrics. Once again you send something that I thoroughly enjoy.
9/10
Soupy
(USA) Beach House - Myth
You have a good ear for great melodies, and once again you send me a song that I just cant get out of my head, in a good way. I've really been on a Dream Pop kick lately and trying to find the best that the genre offers. This is another band I will have to add to my list. This also has a little bit of a post-rockish flare to it with the guitars in the second half. The only little tiny issue I have is the ending could have been a bit smoother or executed better or something. Still, it's another great song from you.
8.5/10
Jingle
(Canada) Spirit of the West - Home for a Rest
This was fun. You have managed to send me songs in 3 of the 4 rounds so far (all but that Roswell Six song, it was terrible, no offence) that have put a smile on my face just listening to it, which is always a good thing. I saw you thought my comments about the lyrics being dumb might have been about your song, rest assured they are not. I can relate to these lyrics in a way, I kind of lived this life about 10 years ago or so, or at least that is what I am getting from the lyrics. It seems like a drinking song on the surface, but it has a sadness to it. So while it is fun to listen to the Celtic/Folk uptempo beat, the lyrics have a bittersweet nostalgia to them. I like that dichotomy.
8/10
Parama
(USA) Julia Holter - Feel You
This took me a while to really get. On first listen some of the vocal melodies seemed awkward. They still do in a way (mainly in the verses), but it's the instrumentation and the cadence of the lyrics that are more awkward to me. The whole song seems bent on being quirky and almost disjointed. The more I listened, though, the more it made sense. I like the obscure nature of the lyrics. The beginning with just the harpsichord is cool. But it's the strings in the background that tie the whole thing together and her vocals in the chorus are mesmerizing. She makes it almost sound like a song from 40 or 50 years ago (something in her tone). A very good song, that may grow on me more and more as time goes on.
8/10
Evermind
(Iceland) Árstíðir - Síðasta Kveðjan
The vocals kind of hang me up a bit (it's mostly the language barrier), but the instrumentation is beautiful. The violin is amazing and fits well with the piano. When the guitar comes in it adds another depth to the song that I like and I think I heard a bit of flute or other wind instrument in there...maybe? Back to the vocals, the lyrics are really the big hang up here. The vocal melodies and harmonies are nice for the most part (there's a couple spots that don't work for me in this regard). Cant comment on the lyrics, didn't bother to translate them... This song does also suffer a tiny bit from the length, it could have been a bit shorter. If it was a bit shorter and was instrumental it probably would have scored higher.
7.5/10
Luke
(UK) Capdown - Pound for the Sound
This song kind of borders on what could be considered rock or not, but I'll let that pass, since most of the song is on the non rock side (sort of). It's definitely groovy and funky. Don't much care for the vocals, but the instrumentation goes through several transformations that all sound good. I like the little dub section (wish they had circled back to this later in the song) and the ska is definitely evident throughout. The ending doesn't really fit the rest of the song in my opinion though. Overall it's a decent song.
7.5/10
Home
(USA) Elliott Smith - Between the Bars
From what I've heard about Elliott Smith, this isn't what I imagined he would sound like. I like the melancholic-like vocals for the most part. A very simple song with just acoustic guitar, but overall it works. I wish it was a bit longer with some more dynamics, but I guess we cant have everything. The lyrics hit me in a way that make me feel things... Not much else to say about this, other than based on this song I think Elliott Smith deserves to be looked in to more.
7/10
Sacul
(USA) clipping. - Story 2
Upon first listen I thought this is exactly what I don't like in Hip Hop, at least with the first half of the song. It just seemed so boring and cliche. Then second half kicked in and the whole song shifted to this much more epic thing (not sure how to describe it). Upon further listens this seems to be because of the instrumentation elevating the song with cool synths and making it stand out more as the song and vocals speed up. It reminds me of Tron for some reason. Tron Hip Hop? Tron Hop? Anyway, the first half is still fairly boring to me. Good thing the song is short.
7/10
TAC
(Germany) Michael Kiske - Shadowfights
The first couple times I listened to this I thought "I'm not sure what I just heard." Took me a while to wrap my brain around this one. Not sure why. So there was some discussion on Michael Kiske in KTLX's roulette thread a few days ago, about how he sounds like John Arch. I do hear the comparisons in his upper range (but he doesn't seem capable of going as high as Arch) and in his tone occasionally. His lower register doesn't really sound like Arch at all. Anyway back to the song, as a whole this doesn't work too well for me. There's some cool parts, like the flute section, but the rest sounds kind of cheesy. The symphonic build ups don't work all that well. It's not as bad as I'm making it sound, but it's definitely the least enjoyable song you have sent so far.
6.5/10
Elite
(Netherlands) Traudes - Back Down
Here we come to the bottom of the barrel for round 4 :neverusethis:. I thought this was going to be way better based on the first 20 seconds. Then the vocals come in....I just don't like them. Then those lyrics... ??? oh goodness...I cant relate to lyrics like this at all. They feel juvenile and just kind of...well....dumb. Sorry Elite, no offence. This just isn't my thing. The beat is kind of cool, but it never changed throughout the whole song. Some songs can get away with that, but not his one.

can you let me know soon whether or not you're gonna have an EP round? i have an idea for an EP but if we're not having an EP round then there's no point in saving some of these artists until then :corn

clipping are anything but cliche - that song literally changes the tempo every 4 bars or so, just listen carefully to the beats and read this fantastic (https://www.rapanalysis.com/2016/10/03/clipping-rap-music-analysis/)breakdown. It's also a short story about an ex-mob guy trying to leave his past behind but finding his home covered in smoke. All of that in barely 3 minutes and the whole album is fairly industrial and experimental so you should give it a try :P
-
Wow I did not expect that tbh but I'm glad you enjoyed it so much :tup
-
Awesoome. That's my favourite on the album, but I think it's solid all the way through. You have the album anyway so will prob give it a go

Lets do a poll. Everyone in the roulette vote in the poll. I'll give everyone extra time for this upcoming round to decide on songs if they want, based on whether or not we do an EP round. If we do an EP round more details will follow.
-
aww yeah boys :metal
-
Sure, why not. Though... 4 of us have to concentrate on this round first.
-
EDIT: sent some dank
-
Sure, why not. Though... 4 of us have to concentrate on this round first.
Yeah, that one song kind of tanked your score. Other than that you have sent consistently good stuff. I expect another good one this round.
-
other than based on this song I think Elliott Smith deserves to be looked in to more.
Well that's mission accomplished I guess, he's got some really beautiful albums. And some pretty great guitar work on some songs as well.
I'll send my final entry today!
-
Sent.
Could use a big score here. Those upcoming (if I make it) Metal/Speed rounds are scaring me - the very little Metal stuff I own most people on here would concider power ballads ;D
-
I recently got into Elliott Smith myself. Only found Figure 8 at the record store, not his first ones, but that one's still a great album.
-
Assuming only people participating in the roulette voted on the poll, it looks like we are doing an EP round!
EP round rules (remember this is for round 9)
- Minimum of 3 songs
- Minimum of 30 minutes. Maximum of 40 minutes
- It is an open round, so no theme, but I would recommend coming up with some kind of theme (lyrical content, style, genre, etc.) for your EP, this could help with flow/cohesiveness
- The EP must contain at least 3 different artists and can not contain more that 2 songs per artist
- each EP will be scored on a 20 point scale
- flow/cohesiveness will be taken in to account and can net you up to an additional 5 points
- The EP containing my favorite song will get 1 additional point
- I may or may not give an additional half point for creativeness of your EP's title
If you have questions regarding the EP round just ask. The rules will also be posted in the OP.
-
aww yeah boys :metal
okay i'm gonna figure out my strategy for every round thru the ep round now & then send round 5 and get cut after round 5 thus making all my work go to waste

2 & 4: Hacride - Awakening and Lazarus? fits perfectly & isn't missing any guessed letters :corn

I thought that too, Awakening doesn't fit but I'm pretty sure that's just a mistake so that's why I asked :corn
Lazarus > Awakening :corn
-
hmm you're right i think i counted wrong
but if awakening isn't right & it isn't a mistake i guess it's a different band
Train definitely sent Hacride - Lazarus though
also Awakening >>> Lazarus, title track is one of my least faves on the album tbh (still good tho)
I didn't send hacride at all though, in case you think I did :corn

How is Thy Catafalque not banned? :o
-
Yeah :lol Puppies even sent me Oranssi Pazuzu, I thought for sure he'd know Thy Catafalque, they are kind of in the same vein from what I've heard from both bands.
-
oranssi pazuzu is like a strictly psychedelic black metal band, thy catafalque has a lot of folk and electronic influences in their music (tho sgurr also has a lot of classic hard rock in it for sure, i love that album so much)
but yeah siraly and angstrom are two vastly different tracks that don't flow into each other at all I really don't know how they'd be considered one track. siraly is like a downbeat folk track and angstrom is one of the most intense, speedy songs in the entire thy catafalque discography :lol
luke sent that i'd imagine, also
-
I checked rym and puppies had every album, explain yourself :yeahright

They seem to share one musical theme but I wouldn't consider them a single composition either.
-
Yea, I left it to puppies disgression. Siraly is my entry but I felt these two songs flow together and said it was his call. I'm totally fine with Siraly being accepted on it's own.
I'm surprised Thy Catafalque aren't banned to be honest but I'm obviously glad, insanely good band :hat
-
I checked rym and puppies had every album, explain yourself :yeahright
I looked at my RYM page as well. Apparently I rated one of their albums, but I don't remember rating it, let alone what the album sounded like, so I allowed it.
In fairness I will also only be rating the first song Siraly.

How about snippets now!
1. I'm liking the music, but I'm still not sure about the vocals.
2. Love that guitar solo. The vocals are also pretty good.
3. This isn't very memorable to me. After listening I have a hard time remembering any of it.
4. I've heard a few other songs by these guys before and this isn't of the same quality. It takes too long to get anywhere interesting.
5. This is similar to the last song you sent and almost as good.
6. There's parts of this I love and then parts that I very much dislike.
7. This sounds cool. Wait what? What happened? Who....? Confused...... I'm dead.
8. Very awesome song. Very strong melodies and riffs. The second half is epic.
9. I love the heavy riffs and drums. Some of the vocals don't seem to fit the song.
10. This is very close to scratching my Moonsorrow-like itch.
11. Wasn't what I was expecting. It's got some folky bits and interesting vocals.
12. This sounds similar to another song you sent. It has a very chill vibe to it.
-
1. I'm liking the music, but I'm still not sure about the vocals.
Definitely mine. What the vocals lack in range, they make up for in passion.
-
no clue which is mine but #7 is igorrr :lol

Probably why they went instrumental after this album! I don't get the hate, I loved the vocals.
I'll let 1/2 a paycheque ride on #2, and the other half on #9. Magali Luyten's voice can be hit-or-miss.
-
1. I'm liking the music, but I'm still not sure about the vocals.
- Maybe, but probably not.
2. Love that guitar solo. The vocals are also pretty good.
- No.
3. This isn't very memorable to me. After listening I have a hard time remembering any of it.
- Actually could be me.
4. I've heard a few other songs by these guys before and this isn't of the same quality. It takes too long to get anywhere interesting.
- No (Puppies said he'd never heard of my act)
5. This is similar to the last song you sent and almost as good.
- There is a chilled vibe, but probably not.
6. There's parts of this I love and then parts that I very much dislike.
- Don't think so.
7. This sounds cool. Wait what? What happened? Who....? Confused...... I'm dead.
- No.
8. Very awesome song. Very strong melodies and riffs. The second half is epic.
- No.
9. I love the heavy riffs and drums. Some of the vocals don't seem to fit the song.
- No.
10. This is very close to scratching my Moonsorrow-like itch.
- I don't know what this means ??? ;D
11. Wasn't what I was expecting. It's got some folky bits and interesting vocals.
- I reckon this maybe me.
12. This sounds similar to another song you sent. It has a very chill vibe to it.
- Or this.
-
8. Very awesome song. Very strong melodies and riffs. The second half is epic.
The Scarecrow. Count on it.

By your previous writeups, it's very likely 12, but the others seem fitting.

Could be any of these (even though the 2 intro riffs of my song are probably my favourite of the whole thing, I can see #4 applying), not too confident in this round :lol
Agreed on #8 probably being Avantasia

Evermind
(Germany) Avantasia - The Scarecrow
Maybe you should have saved this for the Epic Round.... This is EPIC! Yes that's an all caps epic... The violins with the guitars sounds awesome. The more laid back, simpler verses make the louder, more bombastic parts stand out even more and drives the epicness to 11! The gang/choir vocals are very well done (more on the vocals in a moment). Then the middle part is a nice symphonic/ambient build up to the second half which drives that fact that this song is epic home! The guitar solo is very tasty, not overly technical. Then the last 4 minutes or so are just, wow! Makes me want to bang my head. Now back to the vocals...99% of the vocals are great, but there is this vibrato that is used in the upper register in a few parts that just doesn't sound good. I'm not sure who the culprit is, since apparently Michael Kiske, Jorn Lande, and Tobias all sing on this song. So because of that little niggle this song just barely misses the highest score....
9.5/10
Elite
(Netherlands) Vanaheim - Daughter of the Dawn
I get a lot of Moonsorrow similarities from this. It seems like this is a newish band. If that's the case then they could be on the verge of being a new favorite band in the Folk/viking/pagan/black metal arena. If they can expound on the sound they have here and flesh it out to a full album, it could be incredible. Anyways, back to this song. The intro is very reminiscent of Moonsorrow. Then there's tons of acoustic guitar, traditional folk/viking/pagan instruments (not sure if they are just keyboards or if they are actually playing the instruments like Moonsorrow, either way they sound pretty good), and soaring riffs, choir vocals, all the stuff you need to sound like Moonsorrow. Where is diverges is this has more Melodic Death Metal elements thrown in. This helps provide some uniqueness, so they aren't just a carbon copy. It's really good stuff and I look forward to exploring more of their music.
9.5/10
KTLX
(USA) Slushii - Sapient Dream
Happy, airy, light, jingly?, chill. These words describe this song. It doesn't quite have the same impact as your last song, but it has a similar vibe. And whatever that vibe is, I like it. The processed vocal-like lead sounds (whatever it is) might be a little over done, but still enjoyable for the most part. The whole song flows nicely and it just puts me in a good mood listening to it. I'm not really sure what genre of electronic music this would fall under, but I would like to find more like this.
9/10
Jingle
(Belgium) Epysode - Obsessions
I enjoyed the hell out of this. No pussyfooting around, it jumps right in a grabs you by the balls for some rockin Prog metal. It manages to be heavy without falling in to the djent trap. The male/female vocal dynamic works really well and I like both of their voices. I did a little digging in to the band members because I noticed slight similarities to Pain of Salvation, which I came to find out makes sense because Kristoffer Gildenlow and Leo Margarit play bass and drums respectively on this album. I've never heard of Christophe Godin before, but that solo he jumps in with is awesome. I also checked out the video for this song like you suggested and I quite enjoyed that too. Another solid song and I'm definitely going to give the rest of the album a listen.
9/10
Parama
(USA) Black Crown Initiate - Belie the Machine
If you had sent this song to me without giving me a band name I probably would have guessed it was Gojira, until it got to the clean vocals. The clean vocals weren't that great, but I warmed up to them a little the more I listened to this. The rest of the song though was really great! The jazzy/fusion intro sounds awesome. Then the tremolo picking in to the riffs that come in after that are some of the best I've heard all roulette. The drummer is enjoyable to listen to as well. He keeps that jazz/fusion style to his playing throughout the song and the whole band goes in and out of jazz/fusion mode a couple times throughout. It's a really cool song, made slightly less cool by the clean vocals.
8.5/10
Home
(France) Igorrr - Opus Brain
So the little snippet I made about this song is actually what a coworker of mine said when he was listening to this song with me the other day. I thought his reaction was hilarious so I thought I would share it. Believe is or not, this is not the strangest song I have ever heard. Having said that, it still makes hard lefts at random junctions constantly. It's a throw everything in, including the kitchen sink, type of song and then try to blend it all together. I like this kind of stuff. It works, to a degree. Still, I feel like they could be trying to hard to make the statement of, "we don't have a genre," even though there is a ton of cool stuff going on.
7.5/10
Luke
(Hungary) Thy Catafalque - Siraly & 10^(-20) Angstrom
Initially I thought this was going to compete with the Vanaheim song for best folk/viking/pagan metal song of the round. The song never got going in that direction though. No big deal. It's still quite enjoyable and has that folkyness that I like. I like the female vocals and harmonies. And the song does pick up a bit and get heavier in the middle to give it some good dynamics. The problem I have with it is the second half just kind of repeats the first half. So it falls a little flat in that regard. The end is really good though.
7.5/10
Tomislav
(Iceland) Agent Fresco - Dark Water
I hear a bit of Haken in this, only in shorter form and less heavy. The vocalist really reminds me of Ross Jennings at times. This is a pretty cool song. It's short and to the point with all the fat trimmed off. The one thing that really bothers me is that repeating piano melody throughout almost the entire song. To me it's really annoying. Then the little piano solo bit just doesn't work for me either. It kind of ruins the song a bit. Get rid of the piano and I think we have a great song.
7/10
TAC
(Mexico) Glass Mind - Your Name in Silence
This one started off so good. Then the vocals came in. At first they were just a little off putting. The more I listened to the song, though, the more they annoyed the hell out of me. They seem super compressed and hollow sounding, like he's singing in a bathroom or something. Then his melodies just aren't very good. He sounds kind of like a very poor mans Ray Alder crossed with Jeff Scott Soto (whom I don't really like). The parts of the song when he stops singing are sublime. The guitars, bass, and drums come together to make some great progressive music. The keyboards are tastefully done and work to fill out the sound. The problem is the singer never seems to shut up. This would have scored higher had it been instrumental.
6.5/10
Train
(France) Hacride - Lazarus
As I had mentioned in the snippet on this song, I had heard a few songs by this band before and all of those songs were better....This one is marred a bit by the production being a little muddy. Then the song is way overlong for what it does. The acoustic intro isn't very engaging and then when the song does get heavier it doesn't do anything that is really that interesting to me. I also don't really care for the vocals on this either. Sorry Train, but you missed the mark on this one.
5.5/10
Sacul
(UK) Burial - Loner
This song is very samey from beginning to end. Same tempo, same mood, the beat never seems to change, and for a 7 minute song that's not good in my book, especially if the music isn't very pleasing to my ears. This has a very chill vibe to it, but has more of a darkwave sound to it. Then it has these random bursts of noise that I don't like. I just couldn't get in to this song.
5/10
Soupy
(USA) Phosphorescent - Song for Zula
Oh Soupy, you were doing so well. You have sent me some of the best melodies in this whole roulette, but then you sent this song, oh this song... This song suffers from the same problem as the Burial song, same beat, same tempo throughout, only this is worse by far. This song never once changes and that's not good because the music that is there is not interesting. I kept waiting for it to pick up or break down or do something. It never did. The string arrangements that come in are pretty good and the lyrics seem deep and meaningful, but the music drags this down so much. And this goes on for 6 minutes...

I'm curious how long the playlist will be for the epic round. Even with 3 fewer people it may be the longest one yet.

Nice. Maybe if I sent different song I'd have bigger lead now :\ Nevertheless, good to see my name up there :tup
I have an idea what to send for the next round, just need to check my library, maybe there's something you'd like more.
-
Yeah boi :metal I had a feeling you'd really enjoy that track.
Next few rounds are gonna be... interesting.

Nah, if he doesn't like Lazarus I cannot imagine he would like this band at all
Can I still send Monday? Currently on a roadtrip and have very limited access to music and my laptop

:woot:
Allright... made the cut. Now to continue on with the awesomeness. Gotta check the round theme, as I hadn't been paying attention to anything after the cut - ahh... epic. I knew that was an upcoming theme, but didn't know it was this round. Well, I'll just consult my 'epic' playlist, do some sampling this morning, and have something to you by end of the day.
As for the singing parts of Scarecrow that you didn't like, it's invariably Tobi. He's definitely the least skilled singer of the three - and readily admits it. I'm always leary of sending that song in a roulette, because the middle section can be an acquired taste. If you have the inclination, check out the official live version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTyxnUZMA1k) (The Flying Opera - Around the World in 20 Days). Jorn gives a god-tier delivery.

Figured. But probably no results until Monday... I'm busy this weekend... that's why I'm here, browsing DTF :corn

I will stand behind every second of The Scarecrow, Tobias' vibrato or not. This is one of my favourite songs ever created. When it comes to power metal, this probably is my favourite song. I've seen it live twice (once with Jorn, once without). The crowd and I went crazy both times during this one. The audience reaction when these first notes begin is outstanding every time. This song alone is worth seeing Avantasia live.
Good to see my song got the score it deserves. Maybe I should've saved it for an epic round, but my goal was not to get eliminated, and it looks like I succeeded in this one, so I'm good. I'll send something in ~60 hours, probably on Monday.

I'll try to send mine tonight after I get my write-ups done.

I couldn't agree more with you Ruslan.... and I'm the same on the bolded part. Smart move to take Avantasia off the board for the Epic round - I might have gone with Let the Storm Descend (my SOTY from '16). Well played.
You prick. :biggrin:
Hey stoner-dog... how long is 'too long'? I know you didn't put a formal limit on this, but I want to be respectful. I'm not thinking Light of Day length, but I've got a couple of options in the 20-minute range. You ok with that? If not, no biggie, I've got other options I'm eyeing.
-
I'm glad Rhapsody is banned because there are no less than 17 songs I want to send by them :lol
Let The Storm Descend Upon You would've been another great choice although I would've gone for The Seven Angels.
EDIT: bit the bullet, sent mine early. Probably the best song of the roulette imo tbh

Stoner dog :rollin I kind of figured everyone would be sending something in the 20-30 minute range, so that's perfectly fine with me. I would even be ok with stuff in the Light of Day, Day of Darkness range as well. Just throwing that out there.....
For those of you that cant send until Monday, that's fine.

I blew both my very epic bands (Avantasia and Beyond the Bridge) on previous rounds. I had IQ, Seventh Wonder, Need and Sunburst in mind, but they're all banned. If what I sent gets rejected, perhaps I will have to send something obscure.
edit from two hours later: I'm going to sleep now, if my entry gets rejected, you guys will have to wait 20 hours until I can resend because sleep and work (I can't send anything from work).

i think i've got all my entries for the rest of the roulette set now, heck yeah
actually pretty damn happy with how this EP came out though it probably doesn't quite top the one I made for home (seriously that EP is still so great, if I had used something better in place of the dissona track i'd probably call it perfect...)
how does a mesh of death metal, prog metal, post-hardcore, and folk metal sound? 'cause that's what you're getting on my EP. i wanted to fit black metal in but the song i had in mind didn't quite mesh with the rest aesthetically, but to make up for it i'm sending black metal for rounds 7 & 8 instead :metal
and i'm like, 99% sure everything i picked isn't banned, i even double-checked all the albums from every artist just to make sure you hadn't rated them there :lol
i'll probably send you everything tomorrow night once i give my EP another once-over
also just wondering how strict the EP round time limit is? my EP is currently under 40 mins but i'm considering adding a brief intro track that could put it just over 40 & want to make sure before i even think about it more

i think i've got all my entries for the rest of the roulette set now, heck yeah
actually pretty damn happy with how this EP came out though it probably doesn't quite top the one I made for home (seriously that EP is still so great, if I had used something better in place of the dissona track i'd probably call it perfect...)
how does a mesh of death metal, prog metal, post-hardcore, and folk metal sound? 'cause that's what you're getting on my EP. i wanted to fit black metal in but the song i had in mind didn't quite mesh with the rest aesthetically, but to make up for it i'm sending black metal for rounds 7 & 8 instead :metal
and i'm like, 99% sure everything i picked isn't banned, i even double-checked all the albums from every artist just to make sure you hadn't rated them there :lol
i'll probably send you everything tomorrow night once i give my EP another once-over
also just wondering how strict the EP round time limit is? my EP is currently under 40 mins but i'm considering adding a brief intro track that could put it just over 40 & want to make sure before i even think about it more
I'll allow it.

And I find both them and hacride to be kinda core/djenty but hypno5e also recycles themselves a lot more imo, I don't mind their sound but so much of there music blends together, especially pretty much all of the shores album. Why didn't you send Gehenne? :lol

EPIC ROUND (EPIC RESULTS)
Tomislav
Atmospheric Black Metal
(Argentina) Downfall of Nur - The Golden Age
The intro is absolutely beautiful. I love the way the track slowly builds up, adding new instruments, ramping up intensity until it explodes over with fury. I get lots of similarities to Agalloch, Coldworld, early Caina, and Paysage d'Hiver. I love the wall-of-noise-like faster sections with the vocals being used more like another layer of atmosphere or another instrument. Considering I love stuff like the aforementioned Paysage d'Hiver and Darkspace the wall of noise thing works for me. It's more ethereal than heavy, even though its fast and aggressive. The instrumentation isn't extremely technical or anything, but it's good enough to do what needs to be done, but it isn't like early Falls of Rauros bad (which this also has some similarities to) as far as technical ability goes. The instruments are played for the song. The quiet section in the second half does go on a bit too long and doesn't change up enough, but that is a minor issue. The rest is pretty fantastic. I'm tempted to give this a 10, but it's not quite perfect.
9.5/10
Parama
Progressive Death/Black Metal
(Germany) Venenum - Trance of Death Part III: There Are Other Worlds...
Like the majority of the songs you have sent in this roulette, this one took some time to really understand. It challenged me, made me think. This is kind of what I wanted from this roulette. New sounds to expand my horizons. This works both against you and to your advantage. I may not realize the brilliance of the song in time for writeups. That almost happened with the Esben and the Witch song you sent. And like that one, I initially hated this song. Almost from the very beginning with the first two hits of the hi-hats, which sounded so off time to me, I thought the whole thing sounded like a mess and the blast beats sounded almost sloppy. I eventually came around and understood what was being accomplished. The vocals aren't the greatest, but they aren't terrible and most of the song has no vocals, so plus there. The instrumentation reminds me of Mid-era Opeth at times (which is a good thing), but with more black metal sounds and their own special blend of what I like to call off kilter dissonance (not too unlike Deathspell Omega). The whole second half of the song just absolutely slays, with great guitar leads and keyboards that add tons of great atmosphere. It also uses the Post-Hardcore-like loud to soft to loud concept to great effect throughout. There are also so many memorable parts to this song and they keep running through my head throughout the day. Like the Downfall of Nur song I wanted to give this a 10, but again it's not quite perfect.
9.5/10
TAC
Progressive Metal
(USA) Lor - Eidolon
You are back in my good graces with this one. I could nit pick little things here and there with the vocals, some sections that don't flow well, the mix, etc etc...But this song does so many things right and has so many cool parts to it, that I can overlook those other things. There's some tasty guitar riffs, great drums patterns, awesome fast sections, and to top it off, EPICNESS! This song fits my definition of epic pretty well. The harsh vocals caught me off guard at first, but seemed to fit more when I listened to it again. I also love the fact that the bass is audible and has some interesting bass licks. Then probably my favorite part is the guitar solos. They are melodic, technical, fast (sometimes), and full of emotion, which it's hard to nail all of those things in a solo. The slower solo that starts when the song breaks down around the 7:30 mark is a nice contrast to the rest of the song. Then from the 10 minute mark on the song closes out in epic fashion, bringing the whole song home. Great great song. THE FOGEYS STRIKE BACK!
9.5/10
Jingle
Progressive Rock
(Canada) Mystery - Shadow of the Lake
This may not be metal, but it sure kicks all kind of ass. It just further goes to show that Canadians know how to make good music. The lead guitar parts are face melting and the riffs are fantastic. This kind of reminds me of Arena at times. The lyrics are interesting and tell and intriguing story. A dark story. I love when bands use field recordings to good effect and this song has some great ones at the end, a bonus! The one thing that kind of bothers me a bit is the singer's voice. It's not the strongest or the best sounding. It has a bit of that rasp that I don't particularly like, not quite Sass Jordan bad though. Overall it's a fantastic prog rock song.
9/10
KTLX
Symphonic Power Metal
(Brazil) Aquaria - Judgment Day
First I need to say that this band sounds very Brazilian Power Metal. I don't mean that in a bad way though. There's just little things here and there that I hear throughout that would immediately tell me they are from Brazil. Bits that remind me of Angra, Almah, Hangar, etc. This is definitely epic. The guitar solos are awesome. I love the speedy drums throughout. The keyboards keep it epic sounding throughout and don't fall in to the extreme cheese trap that a lot of power metal like this falls in to. The only real issue I have with the song is the middle part where the song breaks down with the falsetto vocals....I tried to enjoy them, but I just couldn't no matter how many times I heard it. The rest of the time the vocals are good enough. It does end on a pretty epic note though. Another strong track from you.
9/10
Home
Stoner Metal
(USA) Elder - Compendium
When this song started, it was not at all what I was expecting based on the bands genre. This kind of sounds like a mix of Pallbearer and Mastodon. Only this is better than anything those 2 bands have put out recently. Maybe if you took the best parts of those bands. Now, the intro sounds slightly out of place or like maybe they should have started the song a different way and pulled those intro licks to be used for a transition in the song somewhere (like they did at about the 2:30 mark). That intro made me not like the song initially. The rest of the song is very good psychedelic/stoner metal. Nice heavy riffs, some cool lead guitar work (that reminds me of Steely Dan for some reason), and vocals that don't annoy me. Full of win!
8.5/10
Train
Progressive Metal
(France) Hypno5e - East Shore
This sounds like a metal-core version of Gojira. The intro track doesn't really do much for me. But overall the song is pretty enjoyable. The problems really have to do with the transitions from the softer to the louder parts, they aren't the smoothest. The individual soft parts and louder, heavier parts are all pretty good though. Also the vocals seem unnecessarily harsh for the music. There's lots of head bang worthy parts to the song. I find myself nodding my head involuntarily when listening to it. The faint/subtle keyboards are nice too. They add an additional layer to the music that I think elevates the song above just average. I could have done without the spoken word parts (mostly because I don't understand the language). I do want to check out more from this band though.
8/10
Soupy
Power Metal
(USA) Kamelot - Memento Mori
It took a while, but I was finally able to pick out a lot of subtle cool things this song does. The cool sound effects and keyboards and orchestral instruments throughout are really nice. I also like the singers voice a lot. One of the better voices I've heard in power metal. There's a cool drum pattern that starts just after the 2 minute mark that is really cool. I love drum patterns like that. It's fun to play along to on my kit. The softer parts in the verses kind of reminds me of something that Rush might have written (minus the vocals). Me comparing something to Rush is always a good thing. The song falls off the rails a bit after the 5 minute mark, with the spoken word bit, the female vocals, and the weird scream that all just feel kind of tacked on, but the song picks itself back up a couple minutes later. I'm also missing the "Epic" quality in this song that I'm looking for. Not to say it isn't at all epic, it's just not as epic as most of the other songs this round. Still a good song.
7.5/10
Evermind
Power/Thrash Metal
(USA) Dark Empire - From Refuge to Ruin
This is power prog with some thrashy elements. I've always liked when bands incorporate that thrash sound in to other metal sub-genres, especially this genre, black metal, and death metal. I think the song suffers a bit because of the vocalist. Something about his voice doesn't sit right with me. I do like the thrashy bits that are thrown in and the soft middle section is really cool with the flute, but I don't think this is quite as epic as the rest of the songs this round. Don't feel too bad about not being able to send that Kamelot song, it would have netted you the same score you are getting for this song.

:metal
you already have my SPEED round song, which just shows how speedy it is :corn
-
I'm legitimately happy you enjoyed that track, and that section is exactly the part I knew you'd have trouble with. Hell even I took a long time to come around to it. Genuinely surprised at a 9, I'll take it. Love how I've come back from potential roulette death.
Speed's gonna be another tough round. Will send tomorrow.
-
No write-up for Mr. Bungle or SRO?
-
No write-up for Mr. Bungle or SRO?
Oh shoot, I actually was going to do a joke writeup for both of those, but forgot/ran out of time/was too lazy. Oh well. I already gave the SRO song an 11/10. Mr. Bungle gets a -∞/10
-
No write-up for Mr. Bungle or SRO?
Mr. Bungle gets a -∞/10
Why? :o
You can't dish out such scores without a write-up!
-
Elite: Mr. Bungle - Sleep Pt. 2: Carry Stress in the Jaw
Spicy.
6/10
there are you happy elite
-
No, because I honestly believe that song is way better than 6/10, even though it’s not really ‘epic’ for this round.
-
i haven't listened to it i'm just memeing
-
I just realized which epic I could've sent, that would've probably earned me more than last place in this round. Oh well, I'll use it in the EP round maybe.
-
That's kind of disappointing in this round even though it's an 8/10 :lol oh well, still pretty close to #1 unless I keep screwing up.
Sent meme metal
-
Wow, I did not expect 9.5 :lol Great to be first :tup
Don't know what to send for the next round, need to check my library...
-
My journey down the standing continues - and now here come my two weakest rounds ;D
Spending something for the speed round this evening - I reckon it has the chance to be the lowest scoring song so far.
-
I have no idea what to send in the speed round, but I'm listening to the first draft of my EP and I love it already. You can certainly expect a huge pretentious writeup from me.
-
I'm really kicking myself for that Roswell Six submission now.
Say, I know you said that any "classic rock" song is instantly banned, how about 80s hair/glam metal acts? Those banned too? I mean, they are classic. :biggrin:
-
Nice. I'll take that. Lor's Eidolon is a Top 5 track from last year for me.
Sent something fast and :metal
-
Nice. I'll take that. Lor's Eidolon is a Top 5 track from last year for me.
Guess I need to check that out.
BTW Puppies, and just so that I get a chance to have TAC accuse me of being a kiss-ass, I like that you do a bit of research into the bands while listening/writing up. There's certainly nothing wrong with ONLY listening to the music, but I get a chuckle when some hosts don't know the first thing about the band or album. I once sent a song that had 3 female and 4 male vocalists, and (I forget who the host was), the comment of 'the male singer' and 'the female singer' got a bit of a giggle from me.
Sampling today... will send tonight/tomorrow - after I get an answer to my query.
-
I'm one point ahead of you, jingle boy. Best make it a good one :biggrin:
-
Nice. I'll take that. Lor's Eidolon is a Top 5 track from last year for me.
Guess I need to check that out.
It's on Spotify, Chad. the album is called In Forgotten Sleep. The vocals are just OK, but consistent, and fit the album well. A few long songs, but they merge different styles. I love the album.
-
Alright, I mean, it's a crime not to send cheesy power metal in the speed round. Here we go...
-
after I get an answer to my queery.
Yes, you are queer. There's your answer. ;D
-

Have you sent something Kiske-fronted for this round? Because I just did.
-
Eagle Fly Free? I considered it.
Went with something else. You'll definitely recognize it.
-

Sent you a PM so I don't completely spoil hangman for other people. :biggrin:

If it's not a Kiske-fronted Avantasia track like Wastelands, Where Clock Hands Freeze, or Shelter From The Rain, you chose wrong.
Do I send the fastest stuff I know or stuff that is slightly less fast but way cooler? Decisions decisions.

I love doing research in to the bands I'm listening to, I'm a huge music nerd. To answer your other question about 80's hair/glam metal, I thought about putting a hard ban on that as well because I know most of that stuff too and it comes close to being classic rock at this point. Most of the popular bands of that era I know front to back as well as quite a few of the less popular bands. I would say send me a PM and I'll make a ruling on it. Just don't be surprised if I ban it.
No, because I honestly believe that song is way better than 6/10, even though it’s not really ‘epic’ for this round.
I tell you what, if I have some extra time this weekend I'll do a proper writeup for it. Maybe for SRO as well :biggrin:

But Avantasia is now banned for the duration of the roulette. :corn

I would send Avantasia every round, if that was up to me, but yeah, it's banned after The Scarecrow unfortunately.

Oh, right. Hmm.. oh no, not Unisonic, I hope :lol

Not that it matters, but what's wrong with Unisonic? I have both albums and there are some great songs on both.
It's just a really milquetoast, boring album to me, way too lite rock for what I was expecting from Kai Hansen and Michael Kiske (and co.). Never Too Late is the only song I recall enjoying and even that wasn't very compelling. Not my cup of tea but of course I haven't followed them at all since that album.

Jesus people ... "strike out" in the sense that he rejects the song/band. Not "if you don't like it, take the next song". Though, that would be a good deal if I could negotiate it.

I've already got 6 songs for the speed round, nice! :metal :2metal: :metardica: :xbones :yarr :natalieportman: :|

john cage him
anyways i worked on my ban list for my upcoming-ish roulette (both katt and puppies should be going into their final rounds in at most a month?) and it's just shy of 500 artists & i know i missed a lot of artists where i previously checked them out but didn't end up making a purchase so, that'll be a thing
-
john cage him
I've seen this John Cage thrown about several times, but I'm not really sure what it is. Enlighten me... :corn
-
Guess I'll start listening without his submission...
-
If one gets John Cage, their pending submission is filled with the infamous 4"33 by John Cage and receives a score based on that song.

- The verses are a little lack-luster

You can only fuck another man
In the sack, hop on the back
Honey you and me is out of track
You've been gone, baby
Who's spinning around and around and around
Should've been gone, scream and shout
Hold me baby, turn me inside out
Throw in lyrics that sound like Oktoberfest "ziggy ziggy ziggy ziggy / OY OY OY!" and man that's gold.
"Get this mic out of my fuckin face!"

I'm trying to decide if the bitching/whining refers to some of the lyrics, or is a fill-in for his thoughts on it. Personally I think that whole album is a masterpiece. I thought about sending For Sale? earlier in the roulette because it's my favorite on the album, but For Free is great, too.

Speed Round Results!!!
TAC
Power Metal
(Brazil) Hibria - Millenium Quest
Good ol Brazilian power metal. It always has that distinct sound that all Brazilian power metal bands have (I think it has to do with the way the guitars are played and the tone, maybe...). Lets see....Soaring vocals? Check! Almost constant double bass drumming? Check! Face melting guitar solos? Check! Dueling Guitars? Check! Lyrics straight out of the Power Metal Lyric Generator? Check!! This song may contain all of the cliche's of power metal, but damn if it doesn't kick ass. The vocalist hits notes that typically can only be hit with your marbles in a vice :metardica: This is one of those bands, on a very long list, I always meant to check out, but never got around to. This one beats out the other power metal songs in this round pretty easily. It never gets boring. It has some proggy bits that help it a lot, which seems to be another trademark of Brazilian Power Metal. The bass is audible and very well played which is always a big plus in my book. That cool synchronized bass and guitar part in the second half that leads in to the dueling guitar solo's is epic! I already said this, but it bears repeating, this song kicks ass!! Enjoy the round victory, old man!
9.5
Parama
Progressive Industrial Black/Death Metal
(Norway) Khonsu - Inhuman States
First time I listened to this I thought it was Keep of Kalessin and after looking in to it I come to find out the guy who plays all the instruments in this band is the brother of the guitarist in Keep of Kalessin. This guy also co-wrote some songs for Keep of Kalessin. So that makes sense. This song is extremely fun to play along to on the drums. It's so fast, so full of blast beats and double stroke double bass drumming, it's tiring LoL. I like the subtle keyboards interspersed throughout the song. They bring a nice atmosphere to the chaotic speed! The backing vocals that show up occasionally also do a good job of adding variety. The middle section can get a little tedious, but it's saved by the keyboards. Nothing really big to complain about. A fantastic, speedy song.
9/10
Train
Progressive Death Metal
(UK) Slugdge - War Squids
This submission is going to make Parama possibly rage quit :D. The whole idea and concept of this band is amusing and intriguing to me. It's not exactly as comical as I thought it would be, they seem to be super serious about it. I mean they write about slugs and Malacology and stuff, so it's still kind of funny. This song is not quite as fast as I was expecting for the speed round, but still lots of quick double bass and tremolo picked guitars. I noticed Alan Cassidy is in this band, the current drummer of Black Dahlia Murder, and he is a beast, although I'm not sure if he actually played drums on this album. Either way, the drums are pretty good. This also gets pretty heavy in the middle section with some slugdgy (see what I did there? :neverusethis:) bits in there. The second half is where they really shift it in to high gear with some awesome dissonant guitars and keyboards. The whole song is really cool though.
9/10
Soupy
Pirate Metal
(UK) Alestorm - Shipwrecked
Pirate Metal! It finally makes an appearance. It's basically folky power metal. I like it. The vocals aren't the greatest (they sound almost punk at times) and the individual instruments aren't anything to write home about, but it all comes together to work is some weird way. I found myself banging my head to this and singing along every time it came on. Not the most complex drumming, but this one was also really fun to drum along to. Just a fun song to listen to all around.
8.5/10
Jingle
Hard Rock/Glam Metal
(USA) Warrant - Inside Out
You had me worried when you said you were sending Warrant for the speed round, but Glam metal with double bass.....? This is not what I was expecting from the band that did Cherry Pie....I'm confused. Where did this come from? This has an almost Judas Priest Painkiller vibe to it. Although Jani Lane has nothing on Rob Halford's vocal prowess, he does try though. Seems like a very angry song too, based on the lyrics. It's fast, aggressive, and heavy. Thanks for changing my opinion on Warrant. I'm definitely going to look in to more of their stuff now.
8/10
Tomislav
Power Metal
(Finland) Sonata Arctica - Sans Sebastian
It's fast paced, cheesy power metal. Enough said. NEXT! Just kidding. It took a while for the face melting guitar solos to kick in, but they were deliciously face-melting. Then there's the cheesy guitar and keyboard back and forth section. The verses are a little lack-luster and samey, but the lyrics are interesting. I have no idea what they are about exactly, but they are poetic. The second half is definitely better than the first, what with the cool guitar solos, cheesy keyboards, nice short breakdown, better vocals, and cool lyrics. The gang/choir vocals give the ending a bit of an epic quality.
7.5/10
Evermind
Heavy/Power Metal
(Germany) Unisonic - Your Time Has Come
This song utilizes the power metal boot-camp-booty-camp drum pattern (Example (https://youtu.be/wpe8eNdpAiM?t=3m12s)), a tried and true drum beat. This is also the 2nd Michael Kiske fronted song I've been sent in this roulette. I know I said in my last writeup that he sounds a little like John Arch in the higher register, this song not quite as much. He still has that John Arch-esque quality in the higher register, but I still think John Arch is better. Unfortunately for Evermind the other power metal songs sent this round were better, but this is still a pretty good song. I like the audible bass and the quickness of the middle section. It falls apart in some of the vocals. There are parts where Kiske sounds flat and it bother me. Then there are parts where he sounds really good. A bit polarizing....
7.5/10
KTLX
Melodic Black Metal
(Sweden) Naglfar - Black God Aftermath
After all the spouting of how much you hate black metal vocals, I never would have imagined in a million years you would send me a straight up black metal song (well, melodic black metal). This confuses me. I'm sending you Deathspell Omega in your final round of your roulette now :neverusethis: You must be a secret massive closet black metal fan, haha! This goes through some pretty cool shifts, but the vocals aren't the greatest (and the vocalist never shuts up) and there isn't a whole lot of variety. It may not be as fast as some of the other songs this round, but it is fairly speedy through most of it. That middle section would have been much better without any vocals over the top of it. There was some really cool slowed down guitars and drums, with some cool synths, but it couldn't breathe. The song as a whole doesn't have much to draw me back in, though. This is your first misstep since the second round.
6.5/10
Home
Hip Hop
(USA) Kendrick Lamar - For Free
................................I don't think Kendrick Lamar is my thing. I've heard other stuff from him after this album exploded a few years ago and I didn't think he was anything special. The jazz instrumentation is good, but it's ruined by the "spoken word" of the woman bitching about something. Then the rapping.........it's fast......that's about all it has going for it. There's no melody, he almost sounds like he's whining, just talking really fast. It's just......it's just bad...at least in my opinion. I like some hip hop, but this isn't it. This is a huge swing and a miss.

poor homeboy :lol
glad you liked my khon-su i just sent you a different song for round 8 since i can't ever make up my mind but it's a good one
also odds are i'm gonna send you a second EP of scraps/cool stuff that i didn't get a chance to send anywhere else, but i'll do that during the final round (if i make it there, which i mean looks reasonably likely at this point but who knows)
-
:metal :metal
Tomi get out of my way damnit
I have consistently been sending pretty damn heavy music, so not sure if I will be able to send my heaviest, but I'll sure try.
-
if the goal is to send the heaviest possible thing then maybe i should change back but i reeeeally like the song i just sent & am kicking myself for not sending it earlier tbh, but the other song i sent before is objectively heavier so i dunno
i think khonsu might have them both beat regardless, though :lol
-
I think I sent my heaviest entry yet? It's one of my favourites of my submissions but I'm not sure Puppies will agree :lol
-
:corn
-
I sent Sandstorm
-
sandstorm is..... brutal
-
I should've sent Sandstorm
Shame you didn't like, I guess it was a bit of a gamble anyway. I don't completely agree about the rapping being melodyless, besides his flow is so amazing on this track.
-

Get off my back :getoffmylawn:

Better than being the king of 4s! :lol
Will send shortly - knew what I was sending right from the moment I saw the theme.
-
Oh man I'm going to struggle on this round......does Adele count as 'heavy'?
-
BTW... glad to see Hiberia take the top slot. I was thinking about sending them, but thought it would be too much of a risk - clearly one that paid off for TAC.

(https://www.shape.com/sites/shape.com/files/styles/slide/public/adele_0.jpgadele_0_0.jpg)
Yup.

:spitcoffee:
Jon Oliva is heavier. Yngvie too.
-
Oh shoot, that IS Jon Oliva. I meant to post a pic of Adele. My bad. ;D
-
Darn, a dud. The vocalist is half the reason I like the song so much haha. Guess I'll have to find a better heavy track!
I also enjoy the lyrics to that one a lot. But it makes sense that if it's black metal I like, it wouldn't click with you :lol
-
"I know I said in my last writeup that he sounds a little like John Arch in the higher register, this song not quite as much. He still has that John Arch-esque quality in the higher register, but I still think John Arch is better."
I've been saying this since last summer and everyone keeps laughing at the comparison!!

Not me, I hear it as well.

FYI, my suggestion for Warrant would be to start with this album, Dog Eat Dog. It's heavier and more raw than the first two 'glam' albums (Cherry Pie; Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinkin Rich). Go forward from there at your own peril. :biggrin:

I originally had it in third place, but it kept growing on me. It is so good!

Or Karl Sanders, or Gene Hoglan :biggrin:

Just to be clear, it wasn't terrible. Just not great

How perilous will the peril be? :biggrin:
-
How perilous will the peril be? :biggrin:
I pretty much stopped following them after Dog Eat Dog. Just re-listened to the subsequent album this morning for the first time in forever, and remembered why... it's not that bad, but in '95, a lot of the bands of this kind tried to be more 'grunge-y' ... and failed miserably. Don't actually know anything after that - other than the release from last year (without Jani Lane :sadpanda:). That was an enjoyable album imo, but I haven're replayed it much.
-
Gotta admit I'm shook. I sent wolfking the same song so it'll be fun to see how he reacts to it, but honestly I was expecting Naglfar and Aquaria to have each other's scores, haha!
edit: Sent some more heavy freaking metal.
-
Sent some epic power death metal or whatever the genre is.
Probably the least heavy song in this round, too.

You'll have to send again. You sent the same band that tomislav did in the first round... :rollin

I would offer you to exchange songs in PM, but knowing how you basically hate growls and screams (is that right?), and my song has no cleans at all, I don't think you would enjoy my song at all.

I do, but I enjoy some older stuff I grew up with, hence sending Naglfar :lol Mine doesn't really have cleans either... technically.

I have 7 songs in for the Heavy Round now. Just need 2 more.
Also, as a reminder, hopefully everyone is already putting together themes and a tracklist for the EP round. I have 2 EP's submitted so far. 1 of them had to make a couple changes already. Just to kind of expedite things so there isn't a delay in starting the the EP round, maybe those that haven't submitted anything for the EP round yet can get a tracklist to me as soon as possible, that way I can make sure there are no duplicate songs or nothing that I missed on my banned list. :tup

Don't forget about the EP round!
Just need songs from Soupy and Home for the heavy round.
-
How much pressure is there on the EP? I have a (quite odd considering your tastes) idea for an EP but I'm in Spain for the weekend, away from my computer pretty much the entire time. Hope the rush isn't that big, but I tend to be quick with making EPs so it shouldn't be a problem for me to have it ready on Monday/Tuesday
-
I am much excite for EP round :neverusethis:
-
I can't quite work on my EP and writeup now because, well, I'd like to know my score for this round before I finish my EP. If I get something like home got in the previous round, I may take some risks. I also kinda need the score to judge if I should include more songs like these or if I should avoid this genre.
I mean, it's your decision as a host, and I already have some ideas and possible drafts of my EP, and I'll be fine with whatever you decide to do, but I think a slightly wider timeframe for sending entries should be set for this round.
-
Sent mine already. Spent last weekend fleshing out my ideas, and I doubt any of the submitted songs from this round, or any of the players that have already submitted their EP would use the bands I did. I didn't bother checking each band on your RYM, just against the banned list. Hopefully they're all good-to-go.

I sent a list of ten (I think?) potential bands I'd like to send, and I think if they're all allowed I may go ahead and put something together this evening and send it in advance too, maybe. I'm not sure. :)

There will be a wider time frame. These are just reminders that it's coming up. So no worries. If you want to wait til you get scores for this round, that's fine. I understand.

In fact, I decided that if the bands I sent you via PM are allowed, I'll send either in a few hours or tomorrow.
Also, I'm not sure how pretentious was Parama's writeup, but mine is going to be like 13/10 on a pretentiousness (is that a word?) scale, seriously.

On another note. I do have 3 EP's submitted so far, although Jingle is going to need to swap a song. On that note, I need to apologize to all the participants for not making my banned list thorough enough :facepalm:. I thought checking my RYM page would be easier than typing out all of them. Oh well, for my next roulette (whenever that will be) there will be a much longer, more thorough, banned list.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
In regards to the EP round. I've been asked by PM about editing the songs with fade outs or crossfades, etc. to make the transitions work better. You are all welcome to do that. One of the EP's I've received so far was edited in to a single mp3 file, so feel free to let your imagination run wild. Just either let me know where the transitions take place (via timestamps) or send the individual songs with you ep so I can figure it out, because I will be rating the songs individually as well as the EP as a whole.
this public service announcement was brought to you by the letter q...
-
The EP round is giving me a rash because Rhapsody is banned and I want to include them so badly. :lol This is going to be so fun.
EDIT: Transitions! Yes! I am definitely going to work up something cool...

Done, thank God.
Yeah, J Boy, your writeups probably aren't necessary. :P

I don't know what Parama wrote (but I would like to know), but my writeup for my EP don't sell the songs at all. I'm having a lot of fun doing it though, I'm at 2.5k words already.

The writeup I did for Slugdge was just the :metal emote basically
I had to write a new one for the song I replaced it with tho

That was the only one that was short
And tbh puppies is exaggerating, i only said the title of the EP was super pretentious :P
-
In the spirit of fun I'm going to be cocky as hell and say that if a certain artist isn't banned I have this EP round on lock. It'll be the maraschino cherry on the delicious sundae that is my EP. :hat
-
I mean, I have the same kind of artist in mine, one which even Parama likes. Was really surprised that it was even allowed.
My other songs could score pretty low though. :biggrin:

Some interesting developments in the standings this round.....
HEAVY ROUND RESULTS :metal :2metal: :metardica:
Parama
Atmospheric Black Metal
(Greece) Spectral Lore - A Rider Through The Lands Of An Infinite Dreamscape
Atmospheric Black Metal is probably my favorite sub-genre of metal lately. It has everything I'm looking for in music. So I'm pretty easy to please if you send me something in this realm of music. This comes out of the gates running. No foreplay, no preamble. Just go! I typically prefer a bit of build up or intro with this type of music, you know, warm me up a bit first :D. Anyway, it isn't a bad intro. Wait is that a harp or harpsichord, where did that come from?? There is a lot going on here. Spacey synths, jangly tremolo picked guitars, lot's of fast drumming, echoey vocals. Reminds me a bit of Darkspace with a clearer production, although I love the murky production of Darkspace, this is still good and it fits the song. At about the 4:30 mark the song goes pretty much full heavy atmosphere with an almost funeral doom approach. It's super heavy and slow. This is one way that music can be super heavy (the dense atmosphere) and I love it! It slowly picks up pace to a magnificent climax. Which then drops in to the final outro of the song. I always find it amazing when just one person can come up with music like this. I'm not sure how many of the instruments this guy actually plays and how many he programs, but the song writing in general is spectacular. The lyrics are also pretty interesting. This is the type of music I love to drum to as well. Overall not quite perfect, but a fantastic song and it gets you a round win!
9.5/10
TAC
Thrash Metal
(USA) Testament - Throne of Thorns
An interesting song choice for this round. I know of Testament, but never listened to them. I know they are Thrash Metal. I know who Chuck Billy is. I'm familiar with other things that Alex Skolnick has done. I also know that Gene Hoglan and Steve DiGiorgio (although Steve didn't play on this album) are in the band, two of my favorite musicians at Drums and Bass respectively. I suppose me listening to Testament was a long time coming. This is really good Thrash metal. It's actually pretty heavy for Thrash. Not necessarily the heaviest stuff I've heard, but still... The song is pretty enjoyable for the most part. The breakdown in the middle is really cool, with some of the best riffs in the whole round leading up to it and during the breakdown, which then breaks in to a nice guitar solo section. The solo is what I like to call a Painkiller solo (after the Judas Priest song), it keeps evolving and changing, it's long and awesome. That whole section reminds me a bit of Death too. The only major issue I have with the song is the fade out at the end....it makes absolutely zero sense. The song feels pretty short, even though it's 7 minutes long. They should have just played the song out instead of fading it out. I don't get that recording decision at all. It seems completely random. Just when you think they are going to go in to this awesome buildup to an epic outro it just.....fades out and ends....lame...Otherwise it's a really cool song. Docked a point for the stupid fade out.
9/10
Tomislav
Melodic Death Metal
(Sweden) Hypocrisy - Roswell 47 (Live in Sofia)
First live song I've received in the roulette. There are some bands, for me, that are more enjoyable live than studio recordings, but a lot of really heavy bands tend to lose that heaviness live. This though sounds huge! I've never listened to Hypocrisy before, but I am familiar with Peter Tägtgren. He's done guest spots for a bunch of bands. So there's that. This song though, it just works so well live. It's not fast, but it doesn't need to be. It slowly and methodically works through numerous heavy riffs and crushes you with some heavy atmosphere as well. And the harsh vocals are some of the best in this round. It's not an overly complex song, but the song writing is superb. I'm not sure what it is about this song, but it really just works for me. The sound, the instrumentation, the vocals, the atmosphere, it all just comes together and gels so well and makes an epic, heavy song.
9/10
Home
Sludge Metal
(USA) Old Man Gloom - To Carry the Flame
This song is one of the genres I had in mind when I think really heavy! Good old heavy, doomy, sludge. This starts off quickly out of the gate with heavy dirty guitar riffs, pounding drums and a heavy mid pace tempo. I love the bass tone throughout. It has that growly, crunchy sound that works so well in this style of music. The song also gets its point across quickly and doesn't overstay its welcome. My favorite part is at about 1:30 in the song goes to just drums and 1 guitar, then 2 guitars, then bass, and just builds back up to more heavy riffage. Really cool song. I'm familiar with most of the musicians in the band, 2 are from Cave In (which I like) and then there is Aaron Turner from Isis (one of my favorite Sludge/Post-Metal bands of all time), so I figured I would like this. This is a good turn around from the last round for you.
8.5/10
Evermind
Post Black Metal
(USA) So Hideous - Yesteryear
The beginning of this is not quite what I was expecting for the Heavy Round. It kicks in pretty heavily about a minute and a half in, though, and it doesn't really let up, except in the middle. This has a lot of Post-Rock elements to it with some bits of Post-Hardcore. There's a lot of guitar layers. The atmosphere is good, but it's not a heavy, crushing atmosphere. The parts where the song slows down with just piano and strings/synths serve as a good contrast to the heavier bits and they are really beautifully played. I really like this kind of music with the loud/soft dynamics (like most post-rock/post-hardcore). It definitely follows in the footsteps of the recent Post-Black Metal bands. There's a lot to love here and I'll be checking out more of this stuff.
8.5/10
Jingle
Progressive Metal
(Germany) Flaming Row - Rage of Despair
This is pretty heavy for prog metal. Some of the vocals don't lend themselves very well to a heavy song and some I don't particularly like (some of the male clean vocals for example). There's some really heavy guitar sections. I like the riffs here. There are spots that remind me of Dream Theater's Systematic Chaos album. I get some Ayreon vibes here as well. Which I guess makes sense with the massive cast of musicians on this album. I suppose if you took Dream Theater and Ayreon and mixed in a bit of Epica and Pain of Salvation you would get this band. The bass solo is cool. The keyboard patches don't really fit the heaviness of the song, in my opinion. I just don't much care for this type of keyboard playing. I typically prefer keyboards to be used for more atmosphere than a lead instrument. There are exceptions, but for the most part atmospheric keyboards is where it's at for me. I think this song would work much better in the context of the whole album, though, so I'm going to end up giving it a listen. Another pretty good song from you, with just a few things that held it back a bit.
7.5/10
KTLX
Thrash Metal
(USA) Testament - D.N.R.
A lot of what I said in the writeup for TAC's song applies to this song, for obvious reasons. With the exception that Gene Hoglan didn't play drums on this song and this song isn't as good :neverusethis: . This probably would have worked better for you in the Speed Round :P maybe. This is still fairly heavy Thrash Metal. It borders on Melodic Death Metal at times with the harsh vocals and blasts beats, except it seems to be missing a face melting guitar solo or two. I kept waiting for one and it never came. There were spots where I thought, oooh here is comes, bring on the face-melter, but it wasn't meant to be I guess. I was a little disappointed by this. And more disappointed every time I listened to this. It would have easily got a better score with a guitar solo or two to break up the song and add some variety. It's not a bad song, it just made me upset is all, so much potential wasted :P
7/10
Soupy
Melodic Celtic Metal
(Switzerland) Eluveitie - The Call of the Mountains
The folk/Celtic instrumentation is a bit too cheerful to be heavy and a little too cheesy for my tastes. They are a bit in your face too. The female vocal style doesn't help. She has a decent voice, but it feels somewhat out of place. Then the ?children? singing at the end loses all heavy credibility for the song :P. I know you mentioned you were probably going to struggle in this round and then posted about maybe messing up when you changed songs. Perhaps you did, I haven't listened to the other song you sent yet, but I have heard the other band before and didn't care much for them, so who knows. I keep thinking this sounds a bit like Nightwish with some folk instruments thrown in. Unfortunately for you I just don't much care for this song.
5.5/10
Train
Djent
(Netherlands) Hibakusha - Kowloon
Holy Bats Djentman! Down tuned guitars, Meshuggah like vocals (not my favorite).....Meshuggah like music, only not as complex. Breakdowns everywhere. Some (very minor) Trance metal trappings and crab-core breakdowns... I don't know if there is enough variety here to make the song interesting for its six and half minute run time. I mean the song does go through different chug patterns and some different riffs as it goes on, but none of it was very interesting. It is pretty heavy, I'll definitely give you that. The part that starts at about 1:45 and goes through to about 2:25 seconds is really cool. Unfortunately most of the rest of it is just chug chug chugga chugga chug chug. The bass player does some cool things from time to time to stand out. After about 4:30 minutes they do kind of change things up a bit for the better. It just feels too much like I've heard this all before and done better.

I hope I did all my math correctly :|
-
I knew I should have sent Amon Amarth. Fudge. (Only I didn't say fudge.) Curse you Sons of Seasons for that 5.5.
On razor thin ice now. I hope my EP does well. :| In fact, I think I'll take some extra time and work up a couple others and mull it over tonight.
-
i know my EP will do well :metal
maybe i should just remake it as a black metal EP tho the last three songs i've sent were all black metal-y to some extent and all scored great so i dunno :P
i'm really happy with the EP I did send though, ready for the 4 out of 20
oh btw this can help with the sums https://www.miniwebtool.com/sum-calculator/
i checked them all and they all look right
-
Nice! :metal
EP time!
-
Ouch. Oh well, you can't kill it all the time. Hoping to make it thru to the album round, but there goes any chance of the mother of all comebacks.
-
By striking the (jingle) boy down and surpassing him, I shall make it through to the final round. :hat

my album round submission goes out to you, katt :metal
-
Evermind tagged his EP mp3 file with the genre of Shower Singing :rollin
-
Oh boy LOL :facepalm: disagree on the variety aspect, but no accounting for tastes :'(
I will probably be out of the roulette at this rate considering the risk I'm taking with the EP I sent, but I'm sticking with it!
-
Train of Naught's Crab Jamboree
also don't feel bad, i also thought hibakusha sucked when i listened to it a while back :metal
-
But you don't even like Meshuggah to begin with so I wouldn't even consider recommending it to you (I wasn't sure on acid_on_puppies' stance on Meshuggah but probably am now)
-
djent suck :tup
it gets easier and easier to decide that the EP opener i ended up going with was the right choice, picking the black metal tune over the vaguely djenty prog metal tune, yeah
-
Ah well.
I originally sent 'Old' by Machine Head to Puppies, as I was really struggling to find anything heavy I owned and liked! After a few minutes from sending that I realised maybe Eluveitie might be just about heavy enough for this round and sent that as a replacement. Based on the rather lackluster 5.5 score, I reckon I should have stuck with 'Old' afterall - what you guys think? ???
Oh and sending on EP tomorrow - need to go for broke just to make up points I need to survive the cut. ;D
-
Lolll I completely forgot about Machine Head, I even put it in my puppies playlist :facepalm: I would have sent Wolves or Halo though
But I also remember wanting to go with something heavier because this round was especially meant to be heavy, so I picked the heaviest band I could find out of my current favourite bands that aren't banned
-
I have confidence that you will all pull it together for the EP round and force me to keep you all for the album round :|
-
I sure hope you like cheese of the most pungent varieties, puppers. Going out with a bang :biggrin:
-
I made my EP without sparing any thoughts about Puppies' tastes, I just threw in the songs I loved trying to also fit the theme I chose. :biggrin: Combine that with my writeup and I think I will get like 9/20 for the songs and a few points docked for the wall of text I sent.
-
This is fantastic! Maybe I do have a chance. I skipped the writeup, putting my effort into a cool theme, and songs I thought would appeal to the Baked-Beagle. ;)
Seems like no one else cares as much as I do. :biggrin:

This is an extremely accurate description of my EP too
By the way are we doing the biggest hangmanen in history or can we share EPs amongst ourselves? I vote biggest hangmayne in history!!
-
I'm all for hangman. I'm going to spoil one song from my EP while we're waiting.
In case anyone was curious, my writeup goes like this (that's for one of the songs, not the whole thing):
Your vision slowly comes back. You find yourself looking at a beautiful, serene village, set at the base of the hill, from a distance. The trees are all green with leaves, and people are lazily walking the streets in the heat, for it is the middle of summer. You look around and see the sea surrounding the island you’re on, murmuring its quiet greetings with the minuscule waves created by a soft wind blowing west. The sun is blazing overhead. The hill you’re standing on turns into a slope as it descends to the village. Looking the opposite way, you see that it ends abruptly, becoming a steep cliff hanging over the welcoming sea. Standing on the edge of the cliff, there are two people, one tall, one is a boy in his adolescent years. There’s a thing that immediately draws your attention—they both have feathered wings attached to their backs.
The tall one places his hand lovingly over the boy’s shoulders and quietly speaks to him, but as the wind blows west, it brings you the words on a gentle breeze:
‘Oh, son, please keep a steady wing. You know you’re the only one that means anything to me, right? Steer clear of the sun, or you’ll find yourself in the sea.’
The boy nods enthusiastically.
‘Well, off we leap, then!’
The man takes the boy by the hand as they both leap down from the cliff, and for a moment you’re sure they will fall and break their bones on the coastal reefs beneath. Yet their wings carry them safely into the freedom of the open air, and as both father and son let out their excited, exultant cries, you’re swept away along with them into the open skies, the kingdom without frontiers and mercy.
The island is away at this point, a distant point at the horizon, and endless plains of sea and sky are stretching beneath and above the three of you. The father stops to determine the direction in which the mainland lies, while the son, excited beyond belief, living the best moments in his life, feeling overwhelmed with a sudden freedom and all-powerful new, amazing ability the wings—meticulously made by his father over the years—granted him, rises up towards the sun, the warnings all forgotten in the spur of this spectacular moment.
The father, jerked out of his train of thought, notices this and begins to fly after the boy, shouting warnings and begging him to turn back. The sun turns its merciless gaze on both of them, and as the older man is unable to reach any further without damaging his wings, his look of awe and pride for both his fearless son and his invention—which miraculously worked and allowed them to flee their island—is replaced by sheer dismay and desperation. You both are unable to turn away from the small, lonely figure flying towards the sun, wings splitting at the seams, feathers burning, wax at the melting point, flying up, up, reaching the highest point of his arc… and then beginning to tumble down, down, towards the welcoming blackness of the vast sea all around him, losing control, spinning, turning, falling, screaming in unison with his father, who is pleading to the gods, eyes widening in disbelief and denial, watching the boy, the jewel of his life, the most sacred person of his life, the treasure of his life, plummeting down to be swallowed by the ever-hungry, ruthless sea.
:lol

wow yeah i could never be that pretentious even ironically congrats :hat
we better be doing hangmeme also this is like the first time in history i've sent an EP with more than 5 songs on it
my EP is a mixture of puppies' tastes and mine but mostly it's a lot of really good music
also rather than hangmanen let's spoil what my very first draft of my EP that I sent puppies looked like, but not spoiling the good parts:
1. ???
2. ???
3. Slugdge - The Spectral Burrows
4. ???
5. ???
6. Subterranean Masquerade - Kippur
7. ???

I mean, the host asked for it, so I delivered the goods. :biggrin:
Okay sent out my updated EP & stupidly pretentious writeup, I'm now 100% set for the rest of the roulette unless one of you jerks snubs me in the next two rounds (which I think is unlikely but what do I know :()
Just so y'all know, I now expect an equally stupidly long and pretentious writeup to go along with each of your EP's when you send them. Just a head up :biggrin: :corn

Either you missed the sarcasm, or I missed that post - or both!
-
I like to think that I took that sarcasm in stride and then responded with my own 3k-words version of sarcasm, but in fact, I had so much fun with the writeup that I started to take it seriously after an hour or two I spent on it. I'm genuinely proud of the result, that's got to be one of the most spectacularly foolish things I've ever done on DTF. Still no regrets though. :lol
Regarding the excerpt I posted, that was probably the least pretentious part of my writeup, so there's that.
-
Wait. That was an exerpt??

I hope so too, because people will have a difficult time beating this song.
-
i already did, but, alright

Well even if you did, my writeup will surely give me some bonus points. :rollin
Seriously though, if you sent the same artist, share the song via PM if you want to.
-
I wrote nothing nearly as cheesy as all of you.
I saved my cheese for the music. :hat

There will be an epic hangman! I'm still waiting for a couple EPs

You should give us the E and P for starters.

I can PM you my email. Unless you just want to upload it somewhere and provide a link.

I was hoping to get the hangman up tonight, but still waiting on the last EP.

I use a Notepad file and manually edit because I have no life and am an old man in a young body :natalieportman:
-
The weird thing is I haven't had a problem with Sacul's until this round. I'm not sure if it's the amount of songs or what...
Any unusual characters in the artist names or song titles? Sacul's script doesn't like those.
-
Make sure all your entries are respecting the format:
Player: Artist - Song
And that the text files are saved using UTF-8 encoding (it's on a little menu when saving, it's usually ANSI by default). In a related note, was trying to make a version exclusively for EP rounds but ended up overly complicating things and fucking up :lol
-
It's weird, nothing is different from any of the previous rounds, with the exception that there are a lot more songs. The format is correct, there are no special characters, and it's saved in UTF-8.
-
I figured it out. I was missing 1 song title.... :facepalm:

it looks like soupy hasn't been on the site in a few days but if he takes too long i say just start without him & he can send later dunno
EP round will probably take a while as-is, anyways

still missing a Bear Ghost and a Closure in Moscow :lol
Bah! :facepalm:
Yep, that's my reaction to hearing as much as one second of either of those bands too.

The Bear Ghost doesn't seem that bad. I mean it's not my thing, but it's interesting.

I think they're horrible. What's even the point of making music that is not angry, depressing or dark, or a combination of those?

Oh..
:lol I love both of them, the latter thanks to the homeboy who sent them to me in my last roulette! I think I give bad karma by complimenting other songs to be honest, any time I call something a great submission or 'definite round-winner' they tend to fail bigtime, so I'm trying out the opposite right now. Starkiller fucking sucks and Seeds of Gold is a cheap attempt at a disco-influenced rock song.

While Heaven Wept is probably Tomi
that song is 16 minutes long so that's probably the entire rest of his EP :lol
moron police is probably train? and probably the last song on his EP. i'm fairly certain home's EP is full up too, by now

The Mad Sailor and The Furthest Shore look like they're in line with Evermind's other tracks.

Ahh. Nils Frahm is Keep. Good stuff.

Words in the Water is Parama's. Wasn't going to spoil this, but after he said it's mine I decided to do it. :lol
-
well hmm i think tomi's entire EP is full actually, based on the track lengths of those songs
forgot that the thy light song was 13 mins and the october falls collectively is like 15 too, there's maybe room for one shorter song there but maybe not
kingcrow could be ev's? i did the math on his and with the songs guessed he has about 5 mins left in there & seems like something he'd send
i say this but then all the songs i sent add up to over 40 mins in total, i just did a lot of crossfades mostly involving thrice tbh, almost all the ambience had to get overlapped with other tracks :V
let's see.
rishloo is TAC?
tyr is almost certainly katt's based on the cheese theme
maybe wuthering heights and lorenguard too
affinity i think is tac's too

Confirmed - there's still one left for my EP after those, though.
-
I mean, amon amarth then?
i figured that was too growly for your EP (it's on TAC's if not yours since he's the one fogey who's okay-ish with growls) but in terms of titles it fits
i'll also say that my EP is still missing a few tracks but you could prob figure that out by adding up the times
-
:neverusethis:
-
Can't it be tomislav's?
Also Amon Amarth is more on the mythical and Scandinavian folk side of things which may be something Katt enjoys more with his growls than some crazy German extreme metal band like Der Weg Einer Freiheit or some shit
Also think Rishloo has to be home's, but I'm too lazy to add up EP times so I'm also not sure if that's possible.
Yes Stomp That Goomba is mine but it's not the last track, unless you mean as in my EP is complete now, then you'd be right
-
yeah that's what i meant by "the last track" :P
y'all should fill in my EP some more so i can post it we're doing a full up EP sharing party in here bois
-

-
yup that's all of it :lol
also the EAPZ album i have is like 50% excellent stuff 50% kinda bland mathcore-y stuff i forgot about
seeds is actually the best song though. you rated that too low
i think this is the link to the latest version but here we go (https://mega.nz/#!DZtUQJ4Y!T5j5hkJR5yPUOlVucZe5AdK1KoTwG_8VRnIeyTCppOY)
-
Their 2 best songs are actually on the album with the ugly cover of a mouth with some kind of branch looking shit coming out of it (Apis Bull and You Make Wonderful Pictures), but that album you send songs off seems like the better album overall.

i've spun this one several times & probably would've bought it in the past if i could find any place to buy it for a reasonable price but i don't really find it as interesting
anyways
guessing A New Life is on jingle's and Tribulation is on TAC's, that should be about it
Party Sleepy People?
train put up his song names so:
Ladies and Gentlemen, Train of Naught is Floating In His Happy Space
Funkle Phil
Howl
Happy Days
-
Updated the above post.
I have a feeling these EP's will take me a while to fully digest. Although I do have an early favorite. Don't expect results until next Sunday at the very earliest. Because of my work schedule next week I won't get much listening in Monday through Wednesday. I'm also hoping Soupy sends his in at some point. We can have a bonus Hangmanenen round for his if he does :tup
-
yeah take your time with the EP round, you're listening to about 50 songs as is even before soupy sends his stuff :lol
-
my review of train's EP: happy music isn't really my thing for extended periods of time but i mean i didn't dislike any of these songs either. both closure in moscow songs were probably the best two here tho. would probably not get instantly eliminated out of 10
-
This hangmanen was solved ridiculously quickly, wow!

That's um..interesting. :lol
-
post links to your eps so I can make fun of them, cowards
I mean I already know like half of tomi and home's but whatever
-
Sure thing, here you go. With the whole writeup too. I've nothing to be ashamed of! :lol
This is not the actual writeup for my EP. This is a foreword.
First of all, I feel I must apologize to you as a player to a roulette host. I must admit I kind of half-assedly (that’s probably not a word) participated in your roulette. I chose the songs I liked or loved, alright, but between my job, my D&D campaign I’m running and therefore having to prepare material every week, my personal life (which, apparently, comes after the job and the D&D thing), most of my submissions were an afterthought (which is reflected on the scoreboard, I suppose). I barely did any write-ups, too. I’d like to apologize for that. I think it’s a common courtesy for the player to show interest, and I suppose there wasn’t a lot of that shown on my part.
Because of that, when I realized I’m going to actually make it to the EP round, I realized that, while I slacked during the rest of the roulette, I need to, for a lack of better word (I used all of them in the actual EP writeup), get my shit together for this one round and actually show you that I was interested in your roulette, I was passionate in choosing my songs. Regardless of what you think of my EP contents—some songs may be up your alley, some songs might be not even close—I’m hoping that after this message, and after reading my writeup, you’ll be assured that I cared about your roulette. Or, well, at least for this round. But if I didn’t give a shit at all, I wouldn’t be bothered with the EP either, so there’s that.
I don’t want to put the musical details in my actual writeup, so I’ll just say that I tried to go with “short epic opener – a slower song that builds up towards the emotional climax – a beautiful and tearjerking ballad – an all-out epic closer”. With the writeup, I tried to explain a bit on the title and EP’s theme, and then went into a storytelling mode—because (gosh, this is going to sound as pretentious as I imagined it all along) my EP, as every good piece of art, is telling a story. What you take out from the story, well, that's up to you.
I apologize for any mistakes I've made in the writeup in advance—English isn't my native language, so I'm sure there are some mistakes, both in grammar and punctuation, and I might've used wrong words for some of the expressions.
The last and fair warning: when I decided I would go full-pretentious-mode for this writeup, I decided I would go down with it to the bone, no half-measures. What follows below is the result. :lol
Anyway, now that I’m done with the foreword, here’s the actual writeup. It begins beneath the line.
As a person, I’m highly influenced by the things I’m currently watching or reading (and also by the things I’ve read and watched in the past); and as I’ve made known in General Discussion subforum, I’m reading The Dark Tower series by Stephen King now. Well, strictly speaking, I just finished the fourth book, Wizard and Glass, and now I’m taking a short break from the series, but you probably get the meaning. It's no coincidence that my EP title is one of the figures of speech from those series.
The theme of ‘The Path That Ends in the Clearing’ is death, but more importantly, the journey that came before it. The Clearing is the place at which everyone arrives in the end of their lives, however different their Path might be in life. But regardless of what actions a person took on their Path, it ends in the Clearing all the same. A serial killer, who ended many innocent people’s Paths, or a heroic figure, who struggled to save the world from damnation and reached the end of his Path in pursuit of his glorious quest, they may both meet at the Clearing… and no one knows what’s there. And people who came to the end of their respective Paths… they’re not there to tell anymore.
So hit the “Play” button and see with your own eyes…

“You will die. You will not live forever. Nor will any man nor any thing. Nothing is immortal. But only to us is it given to know that we must die. And that is a great gift: the gift of selfhood. For we have only what we know we must lose, what we are willing to lose... That selfhood which is our torment, and our treasure, and our humanity, does not endure. It changes; it is gone, a wave on the sea. Would you have the sea grow still and the tides cease, to save one wave, to save yourself?”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Farthest Shore
“Go now. Our journey is done. And may we meet again, in the clearing, at the end of the path.”
― Stephen King, The Dark Tower
”Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.”
― Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings
As the first acoustic arpeggios begin to worm their way into your mind, you begin to get lost in the music, and suddenly your vision warps. What you see before your eyes is… a corridor of some sort. Two men in jailer uniforms are walking towards the far end of it, their faces serious, their jaws set.
Your vision speeds on towards the turn the jailers are walking to. You make the turn, fly ahead, passing a few intersections before finally reaching a prison cell. The only window in the cell is dark. A man in his forties sits there, back to the wall, blankly staring at the bars. Suddenly his facial expression changes into a wild, feral, bloodcurdling grin, but as you drift closer, you see the blank, emotionless face of a man who lost his hope in the world. His lower lip twitches, as if fighting the expression that threatens to overrule his calm composure. Then he looks right at you, and with a nauseating swirl, you feel you’re being drawn inside his head.
The barren landscape arises before you, the gray cracked earth with fires dying out around you. Flakes of ash fall from the sky. There are no living creatures around, and the sky is hopeless gray with no hints of sun or moon anywhere. And both in the earth and the skies, there are two vast unseen forces fighting each other. You can feel a wave of sanity and rational thoughts invading your mind at the same time as the immense rush of madness—the desire to maim, to kill, to torture, to see the fresh, beautiful crimson blood spurting out of the human body and exult in a warm feeling of it—is trying to sweep both you and the sane presence away. You feel its violent nature and manage to withstand it, as does the rational part of this sick, withering mind—for now, for this moment. You sense that this conflict has been happening for a while now, for a few years, perhaps, and with mixed results.
You hear voices now, coming from everywhere, overlapping, trying to drown each other out, urging to murder, to confess everything, to lick the blood from the victim’s throat, to finally end this misery, to fight this insanity with all they’ve (you’ve?) got. As this furious, chaotic battle rages on, you’re drawn back into the corridor, seeing tears flowing down the struggling face of the prisoner.
His eyes focus on something behind you. You turn around and see two jailers coming down the corridor towards this cell. You glance at the window and see the first hints of dawn creeping through the glass, softening the dark, stone cell with almost an ethereal light. Yet the most striking are the prisoner’s eyes—there is stark fear in them now, as palpable as the first rays of sun on this fine morning.
You stand there and watch a convicted serial killer—responsible for at least seventeen deaths, nine children among them, and, potentially, thirty-two unaccounted persons in the last six months—being dragged towards the gallows (or, to be precise, an electric chair or a hot-shot, if you will, as they use these in this particular world). You watch him walking the last steps on his Path, and soon he will reach its end in the Clearing.
The cell and the corridor fade away, and you see only darkness before you.
Your vision slowly comes back. You find yourself looking at a beautiful, serene village, set at the base of the hill, from a distance. The trees are all green with leaves, and people are lazily walking the streets in the heat, for it is the middle of summer. You look around and see the sea surrounding the island you’re on, murmuring its quiet greetings with the minuscule waves created by a soft wind blowing west. The sun is blazing overhead. The hill you’re standing on turns into a slope as it descends to the village. Looking the opposite way, you see that it ends abruptly, becoming a steep cliff hanging over the welcoming sea. Standing on the edge of the cliff, there are two people, one tall, one is a boy in his adolescent years. There’s a thing that immediately draws your attention—they both have feathered wings attached to their backs.
The tall one places his hand lovingly over the boy’s shoulders and quietly speaks to him, but as the wind blows west, it brings you the words on a gentle breeze:
‘Oh, son, please keep a steady wing. You know you’re the only one that means anything to me, right? Steer clear of the sun, or you’ll find yourself in the sea.’
The boy nods enthusiastically.
‘Well, off we leap, then!’
The man takes the boy by the hand as they both leap down from the cliff, and for a moment you’re sure they would fall and break their bones on the coastal reefs beneath. Yet their wings carry them safely into the freedom of the open air, and as both father and son let out their excited, exultant cries, you’re swept away along with them into the open skies, the kingdom without frontiers and mercy.
The island is away at this point, a distant point at the horizon, and endless plains of sea and sky are stretching beneath and above the three of you. The father stops to determine the direction in which the mainland lies, while the son, excited beyond belief, living the best moments in his life, feeling overwhelmed with a sudden freedom and all-powerful new, amazing ability the wings—meticulously made by his father over the years—granted him, rises up towards the sun, the warnings all forgotten in the spur of this spectacular moment.
The father, jerked out of his train of thought, notices this and begins to fly after the boy, shouting warnings and begging him to turn back. The sun turns its merciless gaze on both of them, and as the older man is unable to reach any further without damaging his wings, his look of awe and pride for both his fearless son and his invention—which miraculously worked and allowed them to flee their island—is replaced by sheer dismay and desperation. You both are unable to turn away from the small, lonely figure flying towards the sun, wings splitting at the seams, feathers burning, wax at the melting point, flying up, up, reaching the highest point of his arc… and then beginning to tumble down, down, towards the welcoming blackness of the vast sea all around him, losing control, spinning, turning, falling, screaming in unison with his father, who is pleading to the gods, eyes widening in disbelief and denial, watching the boy, the jewel of his life, the most sacred person of his life, the treasure of his life, plummeting down to be swallowed by the ever-hungry and ruthless sea. As the boy reaches the Clearing at the end of his Path, you can still hear the father’s ragged screams, and you follow Icarus to the depth of the seas…
…until complete darkness engulfs you.
At first, you don’t see anything, but as your eyes begin to adapt, you realize you must be deep underwater. Perhaps you’re still following the boy who dared to fly too close to the sun and burned his wings? But no, you see the grains of sand at bottom of the sea, the shells and other sea creatures either scattering over the sand or darting in all directions. And there is something else… a huge, long black mass just at the brink of your vision.
As you’re approaching it—the ragged screams still echoing in your head—you begin to recognize the shape of metal in front of you as a submarine. It’s lying at the bottom of this (sea? ocean?), broken, forgotten and abandoned, with no signs of life coming from it, except for the little fishes scurrying around the impressive metal construction. As you swim into its confines, bypassing doors and metal walls, you find the drowned bodies of people inside—this was not some decommissioned vessel, apparently—all bloated and staring sightlessly at the indifferent ceiling. You know exactly where to swim to find the master’s cabin, and there is it, with a pressurized door swung open on its hinges, full of salt water, as is the rest of this miserable vessel. There is a dead man inside, probably in his thirties, strapped to the chair with his own belt, eyes closed, a peaceful expression on his face. This peculiar expression puzzles you, but before you can do anything but wonder about it, you’re drawn inside his head with another nauseating swirl.
This difference between the view you’re experiencing now and the one in the madman’s head couldn’t be more striking. This time, instead of barren, ashen landscape, you see the endless, rolling fields of green grass under the benevolent spring sun, vibrant and full of life and vitality. The submariner you’ve found drowned in the chair is standing tall in the grass, dressed in a rancher’s clothes, his eyes sparkling with kindness, the broad smile lighting up his weathered face. The girl is running towards him, not older than six, her arms outstretched in the anticipation of a hug, matching the smile on the man’s face with her own fierce grin, her hair fluttering and streaming in the mild spring winds. She is running, running, finally reaching him, and he hugs her and lifts her up in the air, spinning her around, and their mingled laughter of joy resounds all over the field, and there is no person or force in the world who can ever tear these two apart… or so the captain dreamed as the water began to fill his own cabin on Relentless, the vessel he’s been guiding for eight years before she finally met her demise. You realize that he walked the end of his Path and stepped into the Clearing with his last fond thoughts and wishes of safety to his one and only beloved daughter.
Then you feel being pulled upward, but before you manage to see anything, the darkness once again descends upon you.
Your visions comes up even as you’re hovering above the raging sea in a storm, huge waves churning and travelling past you wherever the relentless wind guides them. Lightning flashes in the deadly gray skies, and the deafening thunderclaps follow soon after. Each lightning illuminates the foaming sea, and after a particularly bright flash you notice a small vessel fighting against these enormous waves, intent on surviving the storm, trying to move against the wind despite the raging storm.
As your vision swims closer to the vessel, you see that it’s a simple boat with two oars. A gaunt man with gray streaks in his long hair stays straight-backed in the boat, holding a staff in one hand, the other outstretched towards the upcoming waves, muttering words under his breath. The oars lay abandoned in their locks. You see the waves coming apart when they reach the small boat, reacting to the incantations this man is weaving as his vessel slowly but surely progressing to the south-west. This struggle against the forces of nature continues for a while, and you watch the lines of exhaustion show on the wizard’s face, as his shoulders gradually sag; but the storm keeps hitting, and it looks like the winds are getting more vicious, waves growing bigger and bigger. As the last sliver of hope leaves the mysterious man in the middle of the storm, you see a dark shape of land on the horizon… and then another gigantic wave swallows the vessel and the man in it.
The storm passes, the sea stills, and the sun begins to shine tentatively, finishing its arc in the west… and as you travel to that distant shape of land you noticed earlier, you see the broken body of a man who succumbed to the Sea of Sorrow before your eyes, now washed ashore. Waves are lapping at it as its glassy, lifeless eyes are seeing the sun set for the last time. Somehow you are able to feel his thoughts brushing your consciousness, and you feel him finally being content after suffering during these long years on his quest for farthest shore. Knowing that he faced impossible odds and almost overcame them; knowing that others will come in his place, trying to succeed where he failed; knowing that he died fighting for a worthy cause; knowing that he walked his Path and was true, and knowing—deep down inside, in his very soul—that he has nothing to fear in the Clearing.
As your vision fades, you begin to hear the notes of a guitar solo playing in your world, and you also hear three voices, one female, two male, overlapping and speaking simultaneously in your mind. You’re unable to follow everything they say, but you manage to make out some phrases from the rising noise.
‘Nothing is immortal.’
‘Life before death.’
‘You will not live forever.’
‘Nor will any man nor any thing.’
‘Journey before destination.'
‘Go now. Our journey is done.’
‘But only to us is it given to know that we must die.’
As the other voices cease speaking, you hear the last sentence in full clarity, ringing out in your mind as a clear brass bell.
‘And may we meet again, in the clearing, at the end of the path.’

Well duh... I'm not that much of a douche to suggest you should be ashamed of your whole life. TAC on the other hand ... :biggrin:
jk, pal... you know the ones we tease the most are the ones we love the most - IN THE MANLIEST / NON-HOMO WAY POSSIBLE!
Here's a link that has mine, KTLX's, TAC's and Ev's - less what I can't get on Spotify Canada (Kingcrow, Wuthering Heights, Knopfler)
https://open.spotify.com/user/jingle-boy/playlist/7w6VjonXXe0xF1aJGhaZHR?si=qzAYuSAXTe-0YypROMO1Bw
Sorry to the rest, but I'm about 97.7% confident that I wouldn't last 35 seconds with any of those playlists.
-
It seems to me that Wuthering Heights isn't on Spotify and Father Time - one of Strato's most legendary, popular songs - is inexplicably unavailable on Spotify (in the US) except for live versions. (The randomness, and frequency of removal/addition of their catalog on Spotify, is baffling, and incredibly frustrating)
I better place higher than jingle. :lol
-
You actually may like most of mine (except Knopfler's probably too boring for you—it's a beautiful ballad though—and I guess don't really bother with Thrice). So, like, half of mine. :lol Really curious about your thoughts on While Heaven Wept track.

My writeup ended up being exactly as cheesy as I intended, so I say job well done here. :biggrin: And I suppose I'm not afraid or ashamed to look and act foolish around my friends, and that's what I consider most of the DTF crowd in GMD these days.
-
No judgment from me, I thought it was hilariously cheesy (as intended) and shows off your writing skills. :)

The last three tracks on my EP are probably fogey-safe but yeah the first half is pretty heavy :metal
I'll read evermind's wall of cheese when I'm home but dang man :B

Looking at those, Pup likes 2 and a half EPs. :lol
Lots of :| :| :| :| :|
-
Pretty sure the first one is ev's
Hoping for 4 cause it kinda fits and is like the most positive of them all :lol
-
- :2metal: :tup :| :corn :|
I feel like this could be mine. It has the same number of songs. The third song represents Death, and the 5th song represents Despair.
If this is mine, hoping the emojis convey the feeling, and not the fact that Pup hates them. :lol
My 4th song is an instrumental, hence the :corn, methinks.
-
Hmmm.. maybe 4 or 7?
-
oh the third one is 100% home's imo
chill most of the way through then post-metal at the end :lol
-
I think metardica fits the start of my EP :metardica: its upbeat, fun and a bit metal, so maybe #4? Not sure tho
-
Well, I got 6 songs, and none of those are 6. So, if I had to guess, I'd go with 1 or 4.... everyone's gonna want 4.
FYI, I just noticed the song order you have listed on my EP isn't right - Born With A Broken Heart is track 2; Kingcrow is track 3

Constituted is one song, at least in my opinion.

EP ROUND RESULTS!
Evermind
The Path That Ends in the Clearing
This EP rules! I love the concept you created. I like how you represented different types of people all making their paths to the clearing. It's everything I was hoping to get for the EP round. Before even reading your writeup on it I listened through it once and read through the lyrics and pretty much came to the same conclusion that you did as far as the story goes. By the way, that writeup may have been pretentious, but it was good reading! Each song has it's own spectacular moments. Fear of the Night was a great way to start the EP, but I think the 3 songs following it were the stars of the show. Daedalus has great lyrics and a ton of emotion in the music and overall atmosphere of the song. This is one of 2 Thrice songs I received in this round and they are both fantastic. I will need to give their albums a good listen. Then Dream of a Drowned Submariner was a perfect way to bridge the first and second halves of the EP. With it's gentle acoustic guitar and soft vocal melodies and heart-wrenching lyrics. Then the epic conclusion that brings the whole thing home with The Furthest Shore. This song is so good. From head banging riffs to epic guitar solos and fantastic vocal delivery and lyrics. It's a long song, but it flows so well and is so awesome that it doesn't feel long. That outro is the perfect way to end this EP.
The flow of the EP is pretty good. The only issue is Dream of a Drowned Submariner. It's music style was a tad jarring at first, but I did eventually get used to it the more I listened through.

Remnants of Our History Left to Rot in the Scars of War
This is how you mash up songs to create a coherent EP that flows really well. Even with the various genres (black metal, prog metal, post-hardcore, alternative metal) it works very well. I've spent significant time pouring over the lyrics of these songs and listening to them to try to come up with a narrative for the theme, but I think it works better shrouded in a veil of mystery. Left to the listeners discretion as to the story these songs tell. On to the songs themselves. It starts with the 2 heaviest tracks. First with Oneirdynia. So, what's with metal bands suddenly using saxophone in everything these days. In this song it works very well and sounds super cool. This flows really well in to Constituted. This song gives off some serious BTBAM vibes, from the guitar riffs to some of the vocal deliveries. I'm definitely checking out this album. Then Saviour comes in and I know I said before it was my least favorite of the EP. Well, I'd like to amend that. After listening to it a few more times since, it's become closer to my favorite. There's only 1 part that bothers me, the small bit of harsh vocals in the middle. They just don't sound that great. The EAPZ and Thrice songs work together really well for some less aggressive more moody/atmospheric music that allows the EP to build up to a great finish with the Amendfoil song.
The flow is almost perfect from start to finish. Probably helped a bit from some clever use of fadeouts/crossfades/editing.

The Cycle of Life
This is another EP that the concept/theme is hard to decipher from the lyrics, but that's ok. There is a lot of references to life and death. The lyrics for the most part are pretty good. So this starts with a band that I had never heard of before, The Paralydium Project. The Bringer of Life is an awesome opener for this EP. It jumps right in with a great prog metal tune. The vocals are good, the guitar solos are nice, I even like that piano melody that goes on throughout the song. The bass player is killing it. The only thing I don't like are the unnecessary harsh vocals that pop up in a couple places and the needless guitar/keyboard back and forth battle. I feel like I've heard too much of this in Dream Theater's music. Born With a Broken heart is next which is a decent rock ballad, but the vocals seem like he is trying way too hard. I'm not liking the vocals much. The Kingcrow song though, that's a cool track and works well as a bridge between the first and second half of the EP. It's mostly instrumental and the few lyrics that are there are light-hearted and happy and uplifting, before the EP takes a turn down darker paths. When Death Comes Knocking is next and sets the tone for the rest of the EP from the get go. This is far superior to the other Primal Fear track here. The vocals are much better, still not fantastic, but good. The riffs are rockin'. The chorus is awesome. The song sounds huge! But it pales in comparison to the next song, Ghost of You. This is like a mini epic. It may only be 9 minutes, but it packs a lot of awesome in those 9 minutes and I feel it's the star of the EP. This is heavy metal of the highest caliber. Incredible riffs that make it so easy to bang your head to. It shifts so effortlessly from the softer verses to the epic sounding chorus. Then amazing guitar solos and drum work. I cant believe I had never heard this band before, especially since I have heard of almost all the musicians associated with this band....The drummer is the original drummer of Brutal Death Metal band Wormed, the vocalist is the current vocalist of Rainbow, the guitarist has done stuff with Freak Kitchen and Richie Kotzen. I wish the EP had ended with this song. It would have been almost perfect. The last song A Ghost from the Past feels almost like an afterthought. I'm not sure what it is about it, it's not terrible, but I just don't like it and it kind of ruins the flow of the EP. Maybe its the keyboards. Or the vocals. Or both.
Speaking of flow, this all works pretty well together, lyrically, musically.....except that last song.

Legends of A Shattered World EP
What's that line from the movie Tropic Thunder? Never go full cheese? Well you went full cheese on this and for the most part I like. This starts with Twilight of the Thunder God. I've heard Amon Amarth before (just a few songs), but never really liked them. This though, is a great way to start your EP. I'm also a bit surprised you put a melodic death metal song on here. There's great melody here and has the right amount of heaviness and some cool riffs. Then it ends in epic fashion with a killer guitar solo and the chorus outro. Next is where the full cheese comes in with The Price and Pariah. This is some great power metal with some nice symphonic elements. This continues the EP with some more great head bangin riffs. Next is Rainbow Warrior, this is like neoclassical doom metal. Which seems like an odd combination but it works really well. At first I hated this song. After a few listens, though, I found myself singing along to it and I realized how good it is. The Mad Sailor was another song i had a hard time with at first, but eventually saw the light. It starts off really cool and has some great riffs and synths. The lyrics are a little goofy in spots, but I cant help but sing along through most of it. It also has some cool harmonized vocal parts. Tower of the Queen is what I would call Minstrel Metal :P It's not a bad song, I just never enjoyed it as much as the rest. The vocals almost seem kind of lazy and I don't really like the chorus. Father Time kicks things back up again. More cheesy (in a good way) power metal. Also back to some great vocals. More sing-a-long chorus'. Great riffs (i'm starting to sound like a broken record on your writeup). You saved the best for last, though, with Children of the Dream. This song may be the cheesiest of them all, but I don't even care. The keyboards are super cheesy, the vocals and lyrics are super cheesy, the chorus is super cheesy. And it all works fantastically! There's parts of the song that remind me of Triumph (vocals and guitar tone mostly). It's also super fun to drum along to, even though it's not the most technically difficult song to drum to. It also has a really cool (and cheesy) guitar solo. You turned the cheese factor up to 11 with this one and I love it!
The flow on this EP works pretty well. They don't flow seamlessly, but are more a collection of songs that share a theme

The first 2 songs here are incredible. Rishloo here sounds like the love child of The Mars Volta and Tool and then given a traditional prog metal makeover. Then Iris Divine has tons of great riffs and the synths add a lot of great atmosphere to the song. Easily the best song here. This is followed by my least favorite song on this EP, Lacrimosa. It's not a bad song, but the style doesn't gel well with the rest of the EP, in my opinion, and the production on it sounds really muddy/muffled compared to the rest of the songs here. I do like the old school death metal sound, but they didn't have to keep the old school production values...The middle section of this song is awesome though. Anyway the EP picks up with the instrumental track Reanimation. I like the use of an instrumental to drive the story forward (more on that in a moment). It's a really moody track with some great technical brilliance and works really well for the point it's trying to get across. And that guitar solo starting at about 3 minutes in is FIRE! Then The Mire kicks in to finish out the EP to wrap up the story. Speaking of the story, this is one of the more coherent stories of all the EP's (not that they were all supposed to be a concept album), but it does tell a story and it feels like these songs all go together lyrics wise. The end finds the main character of the story kind of back where he started.
The flow of the whole EP is pretty great, especially lyric wise. The only misstep may have been Lacrimosa. The change in production value is pretty jarring in the middle.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Train of Naught is Floating in His Happy Space
This EP is just plain fun and puts you in a good mood. Which I think was the point of the theme. Fun, happiness. This is evident from the very first song. Funkle Phil is super catchy, and fun to listen to. With some fun lyrics and vocals and a cool little guitar solo. Stomp that Goomba is pretty cool musically, but it doesn't quite grab me as much as the rest of the songs, and the lyrics are kind of dumb. It also doesn't fit with the rest of the songs, and ruins the flow a bit. I really like Love Don't Go, not as much as the next Family Crest song, but it reminds me a lot of The Dear Hunter, which is a really good thing. It's a feel good song and works well with the theme. I know the next song wasn't your first choice for this EP, but I guarantee you it works better for me than the 22 song you wanted to send. Romancing a Stranger is a cool Jazzy indie rock tune. The next song Howl works great. This song is just plain cool and makes me want to listen to this whole album right now. This is the kind of stuff I like in Indie rock. Next is more rockin fun with Starkiller. This song just puts a big smile on my face. Easily my favorite of the EP. This song shows how to make a technically proficient song sound fun. The last 2 songs are by Closure in Moscow and they both kind of go hand in hand. They have a bit of a different vibe from the rest of the EP. They still have a bit of that fun vibe to them, but they seem to be trying to come up with really catchy sing-a-long chorus'. Which works pretty well. I love the guitar work in both of these songs. There's also parts that remind me of Muse.
The flow here is great except for Stomp the Goomba. The songs don't exactly flow seamlessly from one to another, but that isn't the point. This is just a collection of songs that share a stylistic theme.

Crush My Soul
I love me some black metal. Some sub-genres better than others. I never was a big fan of the depressive/suicidal black metal sub-genre, although there is still some good stuff. This EP's last 2 songs fall in to the DSBM category and they are actually not bad (more on that later). The first 2 songs are by October Falls and they couldn't be more different. The first is Folky Black metal. A favorite genre of mine. It reminds me of Agalloch a lot. However, it doesn't have quite the same variety of Agalloch's music so it does kind of drag a bit towards the end. I'm also really hard to please when it comes to music similar to Agalloch. It's still a really good song and the band is definitely worth looking in to more. The second October Falls song is acoustic folk music. Lots of atmosphere. It's a great way to wind down before the onslaught of the next 2 songs, but it has the same issue of the other October Falls song. It's missing variety to keep it interesting. Enlightment is next. The piano in this song really makes this track I think. This almost comes across as a post-black metal song. I think what bothers me most about DSBM, is I really cant relate to the lyrics at all, but lyrics are a minor thing in most black metal for me. I do like how there are more than one vocal style used here. Last is ...and I Finally Reach My End. This works great as a continuation of Enlightment. This is basically an instrumental with some random wordless screams in a few places, used as atmosphere. Some more great piano and some guitar solo's that are really cool, which you don't hear much in DSBM. This song does overstay it's welcome a bit and the production could be a little better. On the other hand it's a great way to close out this EP.
The flow is pretty damn good here. It could have been better with some cross fades and edits to the beginning and end of a couple tracks.

Party Sleepy People!
This EP goes through a lot of ups and downs. Mostly ups. On the other hand, at least to me, the lyrics tell a depressing story, well maybe not depressing, but definitely sad. To me the story is subtle and could be interpreted a couple different ways. The first 2 tracks work really well as an introduction to the rest of the EP. I really like these two Ólafur Arnalds songs. I like how they go from chill/relaxed to happy then to sad which segue's perfectly in to Tonight, Tonight, Tonight. This song has a haunting quality to it and it gets the story started. The noise at the end goes on far to long though, almost a minute too long. Dissensions continue the story with the consequences of what played out in the previous song. It has a pretty cool atmosphere with some catchy moments, although not the strongest song on the EP. The first of the Nils Frahm songs comes in with Keep, to try to keep the mood a little more light hearted. Change in Time keeps up the lyrical theme of change that was started with Dissensions. It's a pretty subdued, but moody track. I'm still not sure how I feel about the vocals of Sleep Party People. I like it most of the time... The second Nils Frahm song Unter is just kind of there and really only serves the purpose of a bridge between Change in Time and The Conference of the Birds, but it kind of upsets the flow for me. The Conference of the Birds, though, this song is amazing. I'm not sure it fits stylistically with the rest of the EP, but damn if it isn't an awesome way to end it. The lyrics are few, but they tie everything together for the EP in a very subtle way that could be interpreted in a variety of ways. I love post rock...and post rock like this is my favorite style.
Flow wise, this EP started well, flowing from one track to the next, but kind of broke down the last few songs. Lyrically I like how it all ties together a lot.

Despite valiant efforts from KTLX and Home in the EP round, it just wasn't enough to not get cut :sad: You guys both provided some great songs all roulette. Thanks for participating :tup
Also as a side note. I couldn't decide between 2 songs which was my favorite, so I gave half a point to EV and Jingle for The Furthest Shore and Ghost of You respectively.

Well, OK..
I couldn't get past the Martyrs/Lacrimosa transition. The Tribulation actually has a decent production, but the Iris Divine is so crisp and loud. But I wanted to keep the story in tact.
The Tribulation is actually my AOTY for 2018 so far. I had considered that and Thoughts Factory for the album round, but I just wanted to make sure I got there.

You forgot to add these points in! :neverusethis:
You already have my album for the next round. I think you mentioned you were a drummer. Prepare to be amazed.

I'm already pretty damn confident you'll like my album round pick tbh so heck yeah :metal
Also curious about individual scores of the songs here and poor soupy never even sending but eehh glad you liked the tunes :metal
Also Aenaon is less a band using a sax and more a band built around it, they have this weird semi-concept thing going on and tbh it's maximum cheese but I love it :lol
On the subject of drums I still have never gotten the time to sit down and study the drumming on the album I sent but it's like, the exact level of tastefully complex I adore so I hope you'll appreciate it too
Also yeah I'll freely admit the transition between Aenaon and cryptodira on my EP isn't great but you know exactly why that is :P shaking my fist at train
-
Noooo!! I got cut AND lost a bet with jingle :lol Congrats to everyone who made it.
Fourth place this round wasn't bad though. If nothing else I'm glad you enjoyed Children of the Dream so much, because it's one of my favorite songs ever. Good roulette Puppies, thanks for letting me play :biggrin:

Thank god for the 1/2 point bonus! I see what you're saying about Ghost in the Past, but I still think you're full of shit. :lol It was the closing track from the album it was on for Pete's sake. Meh... TASTES!!!
Pretty sure I know what album I'm gonna send, one listen tomorrow to the two I've narrowed it down to, and I'll fire my choice over.

Thank god for the 1/2 point bonus! I see what you're saying about Ghost in the Past, but I still think you're full of shit. :lol It was the closing track from the album it was on for Pete's sake. Meh... TASTES!!!
But you gotta admit that Ghost of You is a way better song. :metal
-
This is how you mash up songs to create a coherent EP that flows really well. Even with the various genres (black metal, prog metal, post-hardcore, alternative metal) it works very well.
also in response to this i had julia holter and vektor on the same EP in an EP I sent to trainy and he said that somehow ended up working too so i'm basically just the best at completely adhocing these things
-
But you gotta admit that Ghost of You is a way better song. :metal
Oh for sure...like I said - it was my #2 song of the year from 2016.
-
All those ghost songs and no Ghosts of Youth?
-
I think this is the first EP round I've ever won. :lol Ironically, it doesn't really matter in the long run. If the album round is scored out of ten, there's almost no way to beat Parama by 2.7 points unless he sends total crap of an album.
But still, it feels good to win this particular round. Even got the additional points for EP name! See guys, that's why good writeup matters. :neverusethis:
-
I could've made roulettes great again, but Picky Puppies wouldn't let me! Sad! :neverusethis:

unless he sends total crap of an album
well some people would say that :neverusethis:
i'd be surprised if the album round was scored out of anything less than 20 tho

Album round will be a 20 point scale again. Also an additional (half)point is up for grabs again for my (2) favorite song(s) of the round.

fortunately i sent a 5* album and expect my score to reflect as such (22/20)

I regret using Beyond the Bridge earlier, would've sent it now. But I was sure I'll be eliminated somewhere along the road.
Nice to hear there's still a chance though. I'll think on my album for a bit.

I love that power/prog has equal chances with black/death metal to score well in this roulette.
Not expecting much score-wise for Helloween, but I really needed to send that album once I knew it wasn't banned.
-
Some tidbits after a couple listens
- Not much stood out
- This is pretty cool, but perhaps a bit over long
- I feel I should like this more than I do
- I like the vocals, they remind me of another band
- This is really cool and moody and I love how the band lets the music breathe
- Some of the coolest riffs all roulette

I'll fight you for it... mine is 12 tracks / 74 minutes. I was worried about the thought of it 'dragging on', but since I wasn't in contention for 1st place, I went with it anyway.
Otherwise ...
- Not much stood out - I hope I'm not this one ... the album is pretty diverse (imo)
- I feel I should like this more than I do - potentially, but I'll bet it's Keepers
- I like the vocals, they remind me of another band - Skid Row?
- This is really cool and moody and I love how the band lets the music breathe - doubt it's mine
- Some of the coolest riffs all roulette - doubt it... maybe Daydream XI?
-
My album is 34 minutes I think? I found that I don't really care about the score it gets (it was the opposite for the EP, I really wanted my EP to score well), because I know this album is great. Maybe dated, maybe not for everyone, but it is for me.
-
I mean I know what I sent is great but if it scores bad I lose the roulette and I actually have a shot at winning for once so
-
I don't think it's really possible to lose by 2.7 points in this round unless you send total crap or some controversial album, especially when you had a streak of 9 and 9.5s and your tastes align with the host. And I consider Keeper pt. 1 to be controversial because older albums often get shitty scores in roulettes for production and other stuff.
-
If the round was out of 10, yeah
But it's out of 20, the difference between an 8 and a 9.5 in a normal round is 3 points in this round :corn

On this topic, I'm planning on revisiting pretty much every song that was sent in the context of their respective albums and seeing if the ratings change and providing new scores. It will probably be a few months after the roulette ends, since I have a ton of 2018 releases to catch up on. I've fallen behind running this roulette.
-
tbh I would think you'd like the exist album a fair bit, the first half of writhe is just the heaviest part of the album and all lol
I really should've just sent If or When I'd be like, 3 more points in the lead than I currently am :corn
-
But Writhe is like the best song :omg: or at least second best
-
I'll agree with that tbh but puppies hated the heavy :V
If or When is basically Writhe if it didn't have the heavier stuff tbh though it also doesn't have that great outro
-

I wouldn't go so far as to say I hated the heaviness. It was just executed poorly, in my opinion. The outro is great though.

What I wouldn't give to hear that album for the first time again. I remember buying the tape (which is fogey speak that only J Boy would know) and put it in the deck as soon as I left the record store. I got halfway through I'm Alive, and I literally pulled over into a nearby park and just sat in my car and listened. Mind blown.

I'm with ya... considering the K-9 asked what my other album submission might have been, I've got a future paycheque that says Absence of Empathy did not hit the mark... or didn't even hit the board at all.

Here it is. The final results. Thanks everyone for playing. I have received so much awesome music that I will definitely be looking in to more......as soon as I catch up on my 2018 albums. I had to break up the extra point for favorite song again. Couldn't decide between 2 songs... so half a point for Evermind and Tomislav. Also had to split the post because I surpassed the 20000 character limit per post.... :yeahright
Album Round Results!
Helloween
Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I
Evermind
I've heard Helloween before, but never really listened to an entire album (with the exception of maybe Gambling with the Devil).
The intro song is pretty cool, and it leads right in to I'm Alive. That's a hell of a riff to start the album off. Oh and look who makes yet another appearance in my roulette, Michael Kiske, the John Arch wannabe :D But seriously of all the Michael Kiske stuff I've heard this roulette, this is the best. That guitar bit starting at about 1:36 is fire! This whole song just kicks ass. A little time isn't quite as ass kicking as I'm Alive, but it's a great follow up track, more of a slow burner, with some great vocals, including the straight out of the 80's call and response chorus, which is actually quite enjoyable. Another great guitar solo followed by an interesting break down section starting at about 2:30 in. Twilight of the Gods kicks in with a sweet guitar lick and some fairly cheesy spoken word, but at least it's brief. I think the bass guitar steals the show in this song. I love the way the production allows for all of the instruments to breathe and be heard. I miss albums that are produced this way. Most stuff is so brick-walled these days. There's also some cool harmonized guitar parts in the second half as well as another awesome solo. A Tale that Wasn't Right is probably one of the weaker songs here. There's some questionable vocal melodies in quieter parts, but overall it's still a pretty good song. Michael Kiske's upper register here is better than any of the other Michael Kiske submissions that were sent earlier in the roulette. Future World keeps the album moving along with some cheesy 80's heavy/power metal, kind of reminds me a little of 80's Judas Priest, sort of. The verses are probably the weakest part of the song, they are a little awkward sounding. Then the weird slapped in sound effects in the second half are really out of place to me. The obvious star of the show is next in Halloween. It's epic, it has some of the tastiest riffs of the whole roulette, it has face melting solos, it makes me want to bang my head. I mean seriously, that opening riffs right before the first verse is so awesome. How can you not bang your head to that. I really enjoy Ingo Schwichtenberg's drumming here. He really brings some great energy to this song. I was sad to hear he committed suicide when I was looking him up to see what's he's done recently. The bass player also stands out in the middle instrumental section. I like how everyone gets a chance to shine on this song.
Everything on this album is on point. The song writing, the melodies, the instrumentation, the singing. There's a ton of raw energy. They must have been fun to see live back in their heyday. It may have a few flaws, but it's still an amazing album. I now need to check out the rest of the Helloween discography.
Favorite Song: Halloween
Worst Song: Future World

Daydream XI
The Grand Disguise
TAC
More Brazilian metal. This time in the Power/Prog flavor. I typically love metal from Brazil. So how does this compare to the other Brazilian metal I've got in this roulette?
The intro to Keeping the Dream Alive is awesome, but it quickly drops in to a fairly standard power/prog verse/chorus/verse song. That's the only thing keeping this song from being amazing. Everything is played well. Nothing to complain about. I do like the Iron Maiden-esque galloping drum and guitar rhythm. The rest of the album kind of follows this same formula, sometimes to greater success and sometimes not so much. Although there are quite a few standout moments throughout the album though. First is the vocalist. He has a fairly powerful voice reminding me at times of Russell Allen, except he doesn't go quite as deep or growly, mixed with some Dio. He hits some nice highs and has a clear voice that is easy to understand the lyrics. I really like this vocalist. He really seems well suited for metal like this. Like Darkness Rules the Night has a cool guitar solo that flows in to a cool little heavy instrumental break before the song ends. Watch me rise is a cool speedy power metal song, with some awesome melodic guitar solos. The Guts of Hell kind of falls in to some modern metal trappings with super low tuned chugging guitars that, for me, don't work well in this style of music. The singer does his best modern Russell Allen impression on this song. The second half of the song doesn't really work for me at all. It's not entirely un-listenable, but it isn't the best song on the album, not by a long shot. The next song is a huge contrast and almost ruins the flow of the album with the almost ballad like The Age of Sadness. This song really shows how this guys voice can really run the full gamut, he has great range. I also like the use of keyboards in this song, and actually I like the keyboard use throughout the whole album. There isn't any Jordan Rudess style noodly keyboard solo's. The keys are used mostly as a background to add another layer to the song or for atmosphere (what keyboards are supposed to do, in my opinion). Wings of Destruction is another fairly standard power/prog number, although with another cool melodic guitar solo. I really like the way the guitarist chooses his notes when soloing. I don't much care for the riffing as much though. There's also a cool little bass solo here as well. Overall the bass is noticeable on the whole album, with a few standout moments/solos. I wish the bass had a bit of a meatier tone though. The next 4 songs all follow a similar pattern with some random standout moments in each. With Phoenix probably being the best of the bunch and maybe even the second best song on the album and Alone being a ballad. The last track, The Grand Disguise, is a whole other beast though. This kind of reminds of the epics from Symphony X (Divine Wings of Tragedy and The Odyssey). It has a lot of the same vibe. It goes through many different moods and intensities. This is easily the best song writing on the whole album and my favorite song on the album. There's so many cool things going on here.
Overall this album is basically awesome with one clunker and few amazing songs including an epic 23 minute song. This album continues the trend of amazing Brazilian metal bands. I look forward to giving their other material a listen. I have to say the real star of this show is definitely the vocalist, even though everyone else in the band does their jobs well. Another great submission from you TAC.

Celtic influenced Atmospheric Pagan Black Metal....On paper this should be right up my alley. Plus the album cover is awesome.
This starts off with Children of the Mist. Right off the bat I love the atmosphere this evokes, kind of murky and foggy. I also love the way that the guitars, bass, and drums kind of serve as a base for the string instruments, the tin-whistle (which is fairly prominent throughout the album, more on this later), and the echo-y vocals (which I like). The middle section where it breaks down and then slowly builds up again is amazingly well done. From about the 9 minute mark on the song is just pure bliss to listen to. This song is about as perfect as it gets in the Atmospheric Black Metal world. Aura then kicks in with some ethereal choir-like vocals. It's peaceful and beautiful. It transitions in to a nice guitar melody along with the drums that kick in. Then the problems start to rear their ugly head. The tin-whistle comes in again which is nice, but I feel like this sounds exactly like the tin-whistle section in the first song. The strings that are layered in with the guitars is also eerily similar. The drum patterns also seem similar. Now don't get me wrong, none of this sounds bad, but with the exception of how the song starts, this seems like a carbon copy of the first song....Where the song does differentiate itself a bit is with the minimalist piano and then the nice acoustic interlude in the second half that builds up to another nice outro, although not as nice as Children of the Mist. The Awakening has a nice acoustic intro with a slathering of violins and some tribal-like drums. It's a pretty cool way to start the song. Ah there's those same drum patterns again....There's that Tin Whistle again (still samey sounding)....but this time it's accompanied by an awesome epic choir vocal part. The second half does have some different and awesome drum parts. Farewell is probably the most different sounding song on here, at least the intro. It starts off with a bit of a Post-Punk drum beat and guitar riff, not unlike something you would hear from Amesoeurs, but then that same Tin Whistle melody comes in again. This album is getting derivative. Pillars of the Earth has another similar intro to the rest of the songs, with acoustic guitars and tribal drums, only this time there's some electric guitar and piano in there as well. The middle section of this song shows a lot more variety than the middle 3 songs. Where Aura, The Awakening, and Farewell all felt very derivative to Children of the Mist, I feel Pillars of the Earth can stand on its own as an original song. Even this middle section where they break it down incorporates some new ideas with a bit of a jazzy lounge feel which goes in to a doomy section with more of the (admittedly similar) tin-whistle. This is the only thing keeping this song from being as good as Children of the Mist. The outro, though, is amazing and a great way to end the album.
Overall this album is pretty amazing, but the middle section becomes more and more derivative of itself, but it redeems itself in the end. Not a perfect album. This band really seems like a love child of Moonsorrow and Agalloch that was then raised by Drudkh and accidentally dropped on its head a couple of times.... It could have been a recipe for greatness, but they will have to settle for merely good.
Favorite song: Children of the Mist
Worst song: Farewell

East of the Wall
The Apologist
Parama
I have to admit this album took a while to get in to. At first I thought it was nothing special, nothing really stood out and I was ready to tell you your favorite album is boring. It's a grower, though, and quite a roller coaster ride. There's a plethora of styles and influences interspersed throughout this album. I hear Between the Buried and Me, hints of Fall of Troy, some Isis, bits of Cult of Luna, Oceansize, Tool, and even some influences of some of the more jazzy technical death metal bands. They seem to mix all these genres and influences to make a sound that is all their own though. It doesn't really sound like anything else out there.
The album starts with Naif and immediately it's apparent that the bass is very prominent, front and center in the mix. This song basically serves to set the tone for the rest of the album. It flows right in to Linear Failure. It should be noted that each song flows seamlessly to the next. I like this. I'm not entirely sure if this is a concept album, I haven't looked in to the lyrics much, but the flow is fantastic. I wish more bands would do this. There's a cool little jazzy guitar solo in the middle of this song. My Favorite Society Guy is next, which is a cool little interlude with some nice pounding drums and bass to make a cool rhythm leading in to False Build. This song has a nice buildup to a groovy drum beat in the middle. I need to bring up the bass again. It has that thick dirty tone, similar to what Geddy Lee used in the later Rush albums. I love that tone. There are times where I could imagine Geddy playing these bass licks. This guy is good (not as good as Geddy though, lets just get that out of the way :D) and he works well with the drummer to lay a nice foundation for each song. Precious Memories is entirely instrumental with some nice guitar melodies and solos. It leads nicely in to the title track, The Apologist, which starts off as a beautifully moody piece. This has some of my favorite vocals on the whole album. (Speaking of the vocals, they aren't the strongest part of this band. For instance, the harsh vocals seem a little forced and don't always work for me, but overall they are functional and don't drag the album down.) This song also ends in a similar fashion as it started. All the intensity leading up to it makes it stand out, in a good way, and it's a nice halfway point for the album. Running Tab of Sweetness picks up the pace again. The drummer really finds a way to kind of play off something either the guitarist or bass player is doing and make it sound awesome here and throughout the album. Horseback Riding in a Bicycle World (which is a cool track name) is another cool little instrumental. This leads to A Functional Tumor. For some reason this song reminds me of Coheed and Cambria in the beginning (minus the vocal style). I think it's the guitar tone and melodies. Overall this song isn't the best on the album, but it's short, so it doesn't overstay it's welcome. Nurser of Small hurts has some interesting bass lines and spacey guitar riffing and melodies, which all seems to serve as a segue to the final two tracks on the album. Whiskey Sipper has some good ideas, but goes on slightly too long. So while it's still a fairly strong track, it probably could have been better. The finale Underachiever is anything but an underachiever. It goes through some awesome changes and may be the most technical song on the whole album. It has this controlled chaos about it. There also seems to be some subtle horns at the end too. Cool!
To conclude, I'm not sure how this band passed under my radar. They also have 3 other albums for me to check out. So I have some catching up to do. Overall this album is great. There are a few little issues I have with it. The aforementioned issues I have with the vocals and a couple of songs need some fat trimmed and don't really live up to the standards of the rest of the album. And to think this album started at the bottom of all the albums I received for this round....
Favorite Song: The Apologist
Worst Song: A Functional Tumor

I wasn't sure what to expect from this album, since I had never heard of this band before. I usually enjoy Metal-core infused Post-Hardcore. So how does it stack up?
First thing I noticed after the first listen was the vocals. This guy reminds me of the original vocalist from The Human Abstract at times, just quite a bit rougher around the edges and not as much emotion in his cleans. The music has a heavier more aggressive bite to it though. Sweet Machine starts it off decently enough. Not a fantastic song, but nothing to really complain about. Blemish starts off pretty cool, but starting with this song the vocalist starts doing this weird whiny/sort-of-falsetto/breathy thing with his voice occasionally that makes me cringe every time I hear it. This is also where some of the obvious Sikth influence comes through as well (it's just not executed well). Echo & Dust Pt.1 has some really heavy Human Abstractness to it. I really like this song. I like the back and forth between the heavy sections and the clean sections and the clean vocals are the highest quality on the whole album here. Mortality Rate sees a drop off in quality. It seems a fairly standard run of the mill song for this style, with more of the annoying clean vocals. Ten Dogs - Red Heaven and White Lighters is much better. Better vocals, better riffs, better melodies. That drum pattern in White Lighters is also really cool. Kappa (River Child) and Day is Gone are both pretty inconsistent for me. The opening riff in Kappa is cool and the music is neat throughout, but the vocals get in the way of the song again. Especially at the end. Then Day is Gone is pretty much the same although there are some better vocals in parts of this song. The second half of this song sounds like something The Human Abstract would have done. The feedback at the end is unnecessary (I will never understand why bands do this). Broadcast Network tries to do some interesting things, but ultimately is fairly forgettable. Echo & Dust Pt.2 is a really good album closer.
This album is kind of a cock-tease. It has some really good songs and then some rather bad songs. Both the Echo & Dust tracks really show what this band is capable of if they focused their sound. The inconsistency really killed this album. It could have been so much better. Songs like Blemish, Mortality Rate, and Broadcast Network drag it down. Perhaps their next album will be better.
Favorite song: Echo & Dust Pt.1 and 2
Worst song: Mortality Rate
Score - 13.5

I went in to this thinking I would love this. After the first listen I thought maybe I need a couple listens to really let everything sink in. The more I listened, the more I realized that this is just a fairly mediocre album. I had heard the first Frameshift album years ago (the one with James LaBrie) and remember liking it somewhat. This album doesn't have the same effect though. I'm not sure if it's any one thing. My immediate reaction was to blame Sebastian Bach's vocals (which I don't really care for), but he isn't the sole problem. On the other hand there are some cool bits here and there.
It starts off with a pretty cool guitar riff in Human Grain Part 1, but the album becomes kind of monotonous and the songs all kind of start to blend together and not really do anything that stands out from one song to the next. Sure there are some cool guitar solos, but most of them seem to kind of be tacked on for the sake of having a guitar solo. Although the guitar solo in Just One More is pretty good. This song also reminds me of FWX era Fates Warning a bit. Just not as good.... The song I Killed You seems like it's a pivotal song as far as the story of the album goes, but it lacks any kind of intensity or power or emotion in any aspect (with the exception of the short bit with harsh(ish) vocals). The vocals seem lackluster and uninspired. The music feels lazy. Then the split vocal lines are just annoying and awkward. I found myself wanting to skip this song after a couple of times through the album. And the song goes on for 9 minutes. This Is Gonna Hurt is another song that I wanted to skip after a couple listens, the vocals kind of ruin it a bit for me. Push the Button has a really cool intro. I like the build up of adding instruments until it breaks in to the meat of the song. Unfortunately I don't really like the call and response vocals very much, but the music is pretty cool throughout the song. The rest of the album kind of follows the same patterns; cool riff, awkward vocal melody/line/lyric, nice guitar solo, boring instrumentation, cool organ sounding synths, etc etc. Like, In An Empty Room is just kind of awkward throughout, Outcast is just kind of there, Blade has a really cool tribal-like intro and perhaps some of my favorite vocals on the whole album, and then there's When I Look Into My Eyes....This song is completely ruined by the extremely annoying ear piercing sound effects throughout the song, especially during the chorus.
So to sum up, this album does have slightly more good than bad, but I don't think this is an album I will revisit in the future. Maybe a few songs here and there. And it may seem like I hated the vocals entirely (not quite), but I do think Sebastian Bach is a talented vocalist, I just don't really like his tone and I think his voice is suited for other styles of music and perhaps his voice wasn't used properly here. Sorry Jingle this was your second big miss in the roulette.
Favorite Song: Blade
Worst Song: When I Look Into My Eyes

Congrats to Parama on the roulette win!!!

Not bad for a fogey!!! Cracked the century mark! :metal :metal :metal
Great choice Evermind and appripriate scoring, Pup. You have to remember that Kiske was 18 or 19 when that album was recorded.
-
Congrats to me for finishing last!!
-
See, even winning the round and getting half a point for favourite song wasn't enough to overcome that 2.8 points gap, as I said. But I'm glad you liked Keeper pt. 1, that's a fantastic album indeed. I started off weak but finished strong.
Congrats Parama, nice job Tomi and Tim cracking the 100. That was a fun roulette!
-
we did it bois :metal
also yeah it's definitely a grower, my experience with it was that i liked it at first & didn't think too terribly much of it and then like a month later i randomly checked it out again and it turns out i loved it? and spun it like, a dozen times in a week? so yeah

this is pretty close to my story with The Apologist
-
Actually I'm just really happy Helloween won the round. This is well-deserved. Doesn't matter I didn't win. These results bring me joy. :biggrin:
-
also congrats we have the exact same favorite and least favorite tracks on the album :lol
i'd honestly call the album a perfect 10/10 if a functional tumor wasn't such a non-event. it's not bad at all but it's so vanilla compared to the rest of the album
and yeah the bass tone is s i c k
i actually think the bass tone is even better on their previous album ressentiment, but that one is a bit inconsistent in terms of quality (still has some killer stuff though)
-
That Helloween album rules but Gambling is soooo much better in my opinion, easily their #1 album. Worth checking out.
East of the Wall's album was easily the worst in my whole roulette :lol
-
you just weren't the right audience for it tbh :P
but i also had literally nothing to lose
-
My own personal opinion of Absence of Empathy is about 180o from yours (it placed #4 in my Top 50v2), but them's tastes for ya! It's all good. I was hoping to go for a diverse and somewhat eclectic set of prog-metal tunes... I have now idea how these songs sound like they blend together - they all have a very unique and distinctive approach and style imo. But I can certainly see how they don't appeal to everyone.
No matter, I wasn't getting a sniff of the top of the leaderboard, so I took a chance with this one.

Nice to see Daydream XI get some love - not enough exposure for them around here. :tup
Well run roulette Pups. 11.3/20; would play again. :lol
-
Broadcast Network and Blemish are both among my favourites :lol

Figured I would do a little follow up on this roulette. Especially since my next roulette should be starting within the next month. I have to thank you all for introducing me to a ton of new music. Some bands I had heard of before, but either didn't get around to investigating further or didn't like what I had heard enough to bother. A few of the bands I had never heard of before.

-
Excellent... I'll take credit for Teramaze, Spirit of the West, Dimension Act, Epysode, Lords of Black, and ... Warrant :omg:

What can I say? I buy a lot of albums. It's the one thing that my wife gives me leeway on to spend money.....well that and food. :lol Music is the biggest thing I get enjoyment out of. I even snagged a few collectors editions in that lot.
You magnificent bastard! You bought both Aquaria albums! I'm so happy :biggrin:
I haven't listened to the 2nd one yet, but their first album is pretty dang good.

I had already bought the Spectral Lore album before the roulette started, but I never listened to it. Same with Thrice, I have 4 (?) of there album I think, but never listened to them beyond a song or 2. And I did buy The Apologist along with the album they released before that, I forgot to mention that. I even found their limited edition colored vinyl of The Apologist in a local record shop of all places. Ressentiment I could only find on CD.

Seconded. :)
-
Ressentiment is pretty good too, stuff like salieri and fleshmaker is up there with the best stuff on the apologist but i wouldn't call it as consistent
Also damn I sent you stuff you already had, that's funny :lol I listen the hell out of any cds I buy myself
