Welcome to The TAC Anonymous Roulette v.3 Opposites Attract
OK...Here we go!
Looking for 8-10 victims. I may go to 12 if there's enough interest.
This is an Elimination-Free Zone.
I'd rather close off sign ups than eliminate anyone.
Submissions:
The scoring will be done anonymously. That means that I will have no idea who sent what.
I'd like you all to meet my secretary:
(https://i.imgur.com/cIrgDhu.jpg)
Please submit all songs to Stadler and he will forward them to me.
Just send him the band names and the song names. I will be making Spotify Playlists so the only condition is that the song must be available on Spotify. This will be necessary to keep this thing on time.
Also, I'd like to keep most of the songs 8 minutes or less. Certainly under 10 minutes. Again, just want to keep this moving. If you have a 15 minute song that you really believe in, then that is fine. It just may run the risk of my ears glazing over. You may send the same band in the same round or you may send two different bands.
If a band scores LESS THAN 5 points, it may be used again by a DIFFERENT participant. But anything that scores 5 or higher will be banned during the roulette.
Each round , you will be submitting TWO songs.
So for Round 1, the theme is Night and Day. That means that one of your songs will have the word "Night" in the title, and the other will have the word "Day" in the title.
Scoring:
I will group all of the "Night" songs together, and will Stack score those. Then I will take all of the "Day" songs and stack score those. Your score for the round will be the average of the two songs. Understand?
Round Themes
1. Night And Day
2. Man and Woman
3. Right and Wrong
4. Sun and Moon
5. Black and White
6. Love and Hate
7. Dark and Light
8. Life and Death
Again, for each round each song must contain one of the opposites. So for Round 2, for example, one song must contain the word "Man", in the title, and the other must contain the word "Woman" in the title. I may allow for variations, so instead of "Woman", I may allow "Lady" or "Girl". I'll cover variations at the start of each round.
The TAC Roulette Wild Card™
As always, The TAC Roulette Wild Card™ is in effect. That means that once during the roulette, if you are torn between two songs, you can submit both, and I will pick the one to score that I like the most. So for example, in the first round, if you are torn between two "Night" songs, you can send both, and I'll pick the best one. But it can be used only once in the roulette.
Tastes
My favorite bands are:
1A..Dream Theater
1B..Iron Maiden
1C..UFO
2..Alice Cooper
3..All Things Dio
4. Thin Lizzy
Just a quick thing on growls. I've opened up to them in the past couple of years, and I like everything I've sent in various roulettes, but growls are still a buyer beware kind of submission. Oh, I do NOT like Screamo. Female vocals are also OK, but I do not care for operatic vocals. I don't like Nightwish.
Participants:
1. Stadler
2. Kingshmegland
3. Evermind
4. Indiscipline
5. Kattelox
6. Lethean
7. Puppies On Acid
8. senecadawg2
9. Elite
10. Wolfking
11. Parama
12. Kwijibo
That's it!

I'm in. Love the themes. This is going to be fantastic.
Any bonuses for the first post in the thread not counting yours?
Just send him the band names and the song names. I will be making Spotify Playlists so the only condition is that the song must be available on Spotify. This will be necessary to keep this thing on time.
This rule is a bit weird though. So if I really want to send a song and it's not on Spotify because Spotify somehow sucks, it's banned then?
-
I promise I'll behave.
A little.

No, I certainly don't want to be discouraging. My convenience is preferable though. ;D

It's honestly just the damnedest thing. I'm running a roulette right now (unexpected, right?) and I use that Russian Yandex.Music streaming platform (also paying for a premium account there because it's quite good), and they have that phone app that works really well for my commute. And each round there's always one or two songs that aren't there, so I just have to make do with those. Your Lost Domain song in the last round was one of those.
So I'll honestly try my best, but don't be put off because my songs might perhaps not be on Spotify, as it's not even working in my country and I have to use VPN to log in. :biggrin:
-

You can add files on your computer to Spotify playlists, incase you weren't aware, so it's possible to keep everything in one place even if people want to send songs that aren't on Spotify itself. Just have Stadler forward any files to you that he receives.
-
Immediately found 2 I wanted to send :2metal:
EDIT: actually went with another one. Hope TAC likes these.

Ruslan, don't sweat it. Everything is pretty much on Spotify. Just send Stadler the band name and song. I'll figure it out. No worries at all, man.

Statler: We're on it!
Waldorf: We can do it!
Statler: I'm sure we can!
Waldorf: Maybe with a little help!
Statler: More than a little!
Waldorf: Might need a technical advisor!
Statler: And maybe two of them!
Waldorf: And that might not be enough!
Statler: Yeah, it's not likely!
Waldorf: Odds are slim!
Statler: Not a shot in hell!
Waldorf: Zero chance!

Does or does not have to be the same band for both songs in a round?

Yeah. Out of the 325 songs in my roulette I think maybe 20 of them aren't on Spotify, at least they weren't when I was making each round's playlist. I think most of Ev's were on there so he should be fine.
-
Does or does not have to be the same band for both songs in a round?
It doesn’t matter. Can be the same or different.
-
Does it always have to have the word in the title, or could it be in the lyrics?
I know the first round says title but then the general rules just say "in the song."
-
Also - I'll give it a shot. :)
-
The title. I’ll reread and adjust for clarity after work.
Awesome. Glad to have you!
-
Can I just say? The people I listen to must be fucking vampires. :)
-
Also - I'll give it a shot. :)
Lethean sent What a Wonderful Day and Stare Into The Night by Voyager :biggrin:
-
i'm gonna break this roulette by sending stuff that's so obviously paramacore you won't help but hate it :metal
in though for sure
-
Cool idea, I'd like to play. I just need to double check that im going to have enough options.
-
are all the themes just "literally has to be in the song titles" though
'cause that feels like it's gonna be super limiting and i might not play if that's the case, tbh, i'd never be able to actually send bands i want to send .-.
-
IN!

Don’t be a pussy. ;D You’re the last guy I would think would be limited. Other tan “The” and “A”, these are the most common words in the English language.
-
IN!
Awesome!!
-
For Round 7 I'm just going to send Light of Day, Day of Darkness.
-
it's not that i won't have songs to send as much as it is i won't be able to send the songs i want to send
which is the easiest way for me to have absolutely zero fun in a roulette :lol
sorry but i'm gonna skip this one

There are two glaring omissions from the banned list.
Opeth is allowed, but anything off of Ghost Reveries (which I like) is banned. Also the Rainbow inspired tune on Heritage is also banned.
Porcupine Tree is allowed, but anything off of Deadwing (which I don’t like) is banned.
I do not care for Michael Akerfeldt or Steven Wilson.
-
Michael Akerfeldt
:corn
-
What about songs containing "Daylight?"
-
What about songs containing "Daylight?"
So I’ll allow that. “Nighttime” too.
-
What about words in foreign languages that translate to Day, Night, etc
-
das wäre schön.
-
Sent!

I have this great song called "The Celtics Suck Monkey Ass & Balls" by an artist named EM PEE.
I think it's a must for you.

:lol
Sorry that’s banned. I’ve been listening to it a lot over the last few months. Quite familiar with it.
-
Can I send the same band each round? :lol
-
So, what's the 'anonymous' thing in the title? Will sending to Stadler ensure that you have no idea who sent what? When/How will that be revealed to you and the other participants?
Also, can we send already? I'd like to know which words I can use in round 1, so I can check all my libraries.

So I will score the songs anonymously. Stadler will send me who sent who once the scores are locked in. Then I’ll post the write ups.
Yes send!!!! The theme in Round 1 is Night and Day. One title has “night” in it and the other title has “day” in it. Send to Stadler.
-
Betcha can't guess who I sent for round 1!! :lol You're always gonna know which songs are mine.
-
Let me in dammit!
-
Can the band consist of the words in the themes? Or just the songs? Don't have anything lined up yet, just wanted to clarify.
-
I'm gonna actually check thru my library to see if I have enough songs to meme with for this and if so maybe I'll join but you can't blame me if some of them suck :corn
-
Sent! (to Stadler)
-

Well, my idea was the song title. I hadn’t considered the band name though. Do the song title for now.

No probs.
-
A shame Redemption is banned. I'd just send Long Night's Journey Into Day.
-
Is an artist automatically banned once it's been used?
-
If it scores less than 5, it can be used again. Otherwise, it’ll be banned.
-
If it scores less than 5, it can be used again. Otherwise, it’ll be banned.
Less than 5!? Tough but fair.
-
OK, got it narrowed down to 6 potential candidates for round 1. Maybe you should do 6 songs per round :biggrin:
-
Narrowed it down and sent! :corn
-
If it scores less than 5, it can be used again. Otherwise, it’ll be banned.
Less than 5!? Tough but fair.
Well, in most roulettes, once a band is used, they are banned. But this will give a band a second chance. But for obvious reasons, it's a risky proposition.
-
So I have exactly half of the submissions.
Haven't started listening yet, but some interesting submissions.
As far as bands go, I have heard 3 of the 5 "Night" bands and 5 of the 6 "Day" bands before. Seems someone already blew their Wild Card™ in the first round.
So what'll happen is I'll give the Wild Cards 1 listen each and decide. It usually only takes one listen to decide.
Excellent. Looking forward to a couple of these and well, not looking forward to a couple of these. ;D

Oh, so that reminds me. Here's what I want to say about themes.
Not speaking AT you personally Parama, but just sharing thoughts on the subject....
Personally, I am not a fan of totally open roulettes. I don't know. I find them boring to participate in. The thing is, you may not like a song you send because of the theme as much as you would had it been an open round, but to me, there's equal chance that I'll like or dislike either. Meaning, it's all the same to me. Personally, I'm thrilled to hear anything you recommend/send.
-
Oh, and whoever used their Wild Card™, it was an easy choice. One song was awesome and the other I literally couldn't make it halfway through.
Please don't react publicly to these comments. Take it up with youknowwho.

So first immediate impressions of the 5 "Day" songs I have so far. After ONE listen.
"I've sampled them before on youtube a number of times, and honestly, it's always been putrid. But I liked this. Most of it anyways."
"I have literally never heard a single song by this band. It wasn't bad."
"I'm not totally unfamiliar with this band. I've never loved them, but I did like this song"
"As expected...yawn."
"I was thinking about this band while putting together my Banned List. A kind of premonition. I appreciate getting this song very much."
-
I'll send something in ~11 hours.

okay, sent some br00tal paramacore :metardica:

Listened to the 5 Night songs in the way to work this morning. Here are my One Listen first impressions.
“I’m trying. I’m really trying.”
“This was really gloomy.”
“This somehow got in the back door, and that’s a great thing for you.”
“It’s likeable enough”
“This band needs Anthony Keidis”
-
Hmmm I'm hoping “This somehow got in the back door, and that’s a great thing for you.” is mine since my band was suspiciously missing from your lists...

That's a focking offensive piece of unacceptable ethnic profiling. It's a malevolent stigma we have endured for centuries but I'm not willing to bear it any longer. Pay attention, focking stereotype-mongers, because I will not repeat myself:
Italians ARE NOT mindlessly addicted to coffee.

Umm sugar.

“This band needs Anthony Keidis”
I don't think I've ever wanted to hear a song as badly as I now want to hear the song that made my boss buddy actually YEARN for the worst vocalist to have a platinum album in YEARS.
-
Hmmm I'm hoping “This somehow got in the back door, and that’s a great thing for you.” is mine since my band was suspiciously missing from your lists...
So here's the funny thing. If you sent who I think you sent, you must have freaked when you saw them not listed. But the bad news is if you sent who I think you sent, then that comment is not for you. :lol

OK...here's Hangman Pt 1.
A couple things...Once hangman runs its course, I will post the link to the playlist.
Once it is complete, you can guess who sent what. What I want you guys to do is the quote the hangman and send your guesses to Stadler. I will dole out the TAC Points when I post the Results.
Please NO CONFIRMATIONS!
What I'll do will be to tally up who has the most right guesses.
1st Place Guesser will receive 500 TAC Points
2nd Place-250 TAC Points
3rd Place-100 TAC Points
So we'll have one guessing competition for the "Night" songs and then another one after the "Day" hangman is completed.

Here are the other 7 First Listen impressions:
"This is pretty decent. Safe. But decent"
"It had its moments but I was expecting a bit more, to be honest."
"This was ok. Not great"
"It was pleasant enough. I need another listen"
"Kind of an odd song amongst the others, the last minute was really good."
"I got 3 songs from the same band in this round. This was by far the worst and is the type of song that has kept me from really diving in to them in the first place"
"I was intrigued to hear this. Wasn't what I expected"
-
Do I see Stratovarius - Night Time Eclipse?

Wow, Tim doesn't know Startovarius? I did send one band with the Day category that I'm surprised wasn't banned either.
Tim, for the Bodom song, you've got Deadly instead of Bodom.

Looking through Spotify for round 2, man/woman. Haven't looked at physical collection yet but I have a whopping 60+ tracks with 'man' in the title, and... 3 with 'woman.' A Cat Stevens song, a Queensryche song, and a Britney Spears song. TAC, I apologize in advance.
EDIT: Out of curiosity, would a song called 'Maniac' count? Or does it specifically have to relate to the base word, ie 'man' or 'woman'?

I prefer my night song a bit more but that's because I have barely spun the album I sent my day song off of yet, but I like both a lot

I suppose I should start putting something together for round 2 as well. Overall I like the idea of these themes. Helps me focus on specific songs. Considering I have over 8000 albums to sift through for roulette's, the themes help me narrow it down a bit.

Ok, let's try guessing impressions. Mind you, this is not an implicit critique of your submissions. It's an explicit critique of TAC ;D:
“I’m trying. I’m really trying.” Asia
“This was really gloomy.” Enslaved
“This somehow got in the back door, and that’s a great thing for you.” Machine Head
“It’s likeable enough” Vandenberg
“This band needs Anthony Keidis” Agent Fresco
"Fucking Awesome" Kingcrow
"This band was sent in the "Day" Round, and this song is a lot better than the other one" Stratovarius
"Excellent tune" Enchant
"I had zero idea what to expect. I like this." Children of Bodom
"Oh hell yes, this is excellent." Closure in Moscow
"There was a lot I liked about this song. And there was a lot I didn't." Katatonia
"Thin Lizzy, Meatloaf, and Kenny Loggin's Danger Zone in a blender. I must say, the Phil Lynott ghost gave me goosebumps" The Protomen
-
You got Four!
200 TAC Points for you!
-
"I'm trying. I'm really trying." could also be Children Of Bodom
-
Actually..........nope.

Hopefully, I guessed which ones Indiscipline was right about:
“I’m trying. I’m really trying.” Machine Head
“This was really gloomy.” Katatonia
“This somehow got in the back door, and that’s a great thing for you.” Asia
“It’s likeable enough” Kingcrow
“This band needs Anthony Keidis” Agent Fresco
"Fucking Awesome" Children of Bodom

"Thin Lizzy, Meatloaf, and Kenny Loggin's Danger Zone in a blender. I must say, the Phil Lynott ghost gave me goosebumps" The Protomen
-
Lethean, you got 5 right, 3 of which Indiscipline got already.
So you get 250 TAC Points, but I’m giving Indiscipline an extra 50.
-
I have the perfect scam!
Anyway, as much as I love to get points ... [jingle mode] maybe you should award guessing points in a single post after everybody has guessed, so nobody has any trial and error advantage and/or you don't need to award extra points to the poster guessing first [/jingle mode]
... Or not! C'mon, people, make me rich!

I'm surprised no one sent Ayreon. Anything from The Human Equation qualified for the theme, technically.

Here are the First Impressions again..
"I've sampled them before on youtube a number of times, and honestly, it's always been putrid. But I liked this. Most of it anyways."
"I have literally never heard a single song by this band. It wasn't bad."
"I'm not totally unfamiliar with this band. I've never loved them, but I did like this song"
"As expected...yawn."
"I was thinking about this band while putting together my Banned List. A kind of premonition. I appreciate getting this song very much."
"This is pretty decent. Safe. But decent"
"It had its moments but I was expecting a bit more, to be honest."
"This was ok. Not great"
"It was pleasant enough. I need another listen"
"Kind of an odd song amongst the others, the last minute was really good."
"I got 3 songs from the same band in this round. This was by far the worst and is the type of song that has kept me from really diving in to them in the first place"
"I was intrigued to hear this. Wasn't what I expected"

Guess away! Just posted the full Day list and first impressions.
You can redeem then at TAC Mart.

Every time i Read TAC points I can't help hearing Tom Heinsohn screaming: ba-da-boom, here's one Tommy Point for ya!

Tommy points. Lol

So I've made some major headway today. I pretty much have the Day songs ranked. I've got the Night songs pretty much roughed out, but there's a bit more bunching up because it's a much stronger round.
How strong? The 7th best Night song would rank at #2 on the Day list.
I apologize up front to the person that is in last place for the Day songs. Finishing last is disappointing, but I think this may be extra disappointing. You probably thought you sent something strong, and you did. And I liked a lot of it on the first listen, but subsequent listens have proved that I look forward to listening to it the least in the entire round.
-
Indiscipline, when are you gonna guess the Day impressions? :)
-
I am contemplating posting the Day First Impressions in the Results order.
-
als osorry i skipped out on the whole game thingy going on here, tbh too busy dealing with other crap and i don't know if tac points actually matter for anything so :P
-
I'm in last I bet because I chose the wrong songs :metardica:

If you sent who I'm pretty sure you sent, then you're not in last.
Or first.
i don't know if tac points actually matter for anything so :P
Are they essential for life? No, probably not.
-
I'm curious to know who you think sent what. Will you be posting that before Stadler reveals?
-
I'm curious to know who you think sent what. Will you be posting that before Stadler reveals?
So, I'm no different than anyone else here. I see the songs, and have no idea who actually sent.
But I have an idea on a few of these. A couple of you, I have no idea.
I have run through each playlist 4 times. I am pretty sure the rankings are locked in. I am going to start writeups tomorrow. There is still a possibility of slight movement over the next couple of days. Once I send the scores to Ivanka for quality control (basically so he can vouch for the anonymity) , I'll post my guesses. Then I'll post results.

tac we wanna see you guess :corn

As you can see, things moved after the first listen.

Hmm; I made that guess before reading the order - I didn't think the one I ascribed to mine was as favorable as it seems to be - I hope I was right!

You got 3 right!
150 TAC Points!

Yeah Katatonia is obviously Lethean but a lot of the rest look weird to me :corn
-
Since Indiscipline won't help ...
Sorry, mate. Hell of a day and no time to listen to the tracklist. Happy to see you get points, though!

Ms Maples sent me the goods. Results shortly.

Devin Townsend-Parama
Stratovarius-Elite

Are you surprised?
-
Are you surprised?
On a few, very. Especially yours!
Lacuna Coil?? Honestly I had no idea what you sent for the Day. Your Night song is pretty obvious though.
-
For sure. My wife is the fan of Lacuna Coil but I've listened with her so many times so I thought I'd throw a curve ball at you.
-
to be fair, I do have 4 different devin songs as potential entries in this roulette, just not for this round :P
though it depends on how well earth day scores whether or not i get to use any of them
-
For sure. My wife is the fan of Lacuna Coil but I've listened with her so many times so I thought I'd throw a curve ball at you.
Yeah, after I matched what I thought, I looked at the list and thought WTF did you send? :lol
-
:corn :corn :corn
-
I'm very surprised Elite sent Stratovarius.
EDIT: Wait, you're saying he didn't send them? I'm surprised at whoever else sent them, whatever. :lol
-
I'm very surprised Elite sent Stratovarius.
He didn't. The above posts are MY guesses.
-
Yeah I'm a bit slow. :lol
-
elite sent devin it looks like, since obviously i didn't send stratovarius
-
My next post will be the results for the Day songs. I have also basically finalized the Night songs as well, but I have to do the writeups.
It's possible they get posted tomorrow night, but more likely Wednesday night.
Would like to get the Round 2 songs by Friday afternoon. If so, we can keep this pace.
As a reminder, Round 2 themes are Man and Woman.
Off the top of my head, I'll accept:
Mankind
Lady
Girl
My writups are not War And Peace. They are a few sentences. Remember the score for the round is the average of the Day and Night scores. If you bombed the Day songs, but knocked it out for the Night songs, it should average out to...average. :lol
-
i didn't send stratovarius
I honestly didn't know what you sent, but I KNEW you didn't send Stratovarius. :lol

Day Results
12. Indiscipline-Jethro Tull-A New Day Yesterday
"I was thinking about this band while putting together my Banned List. A kind of premonition. I appreciate getting this song very much."
I have literally only heard 4 Jethro Tull songs in my life..the classic radio hits. I have never disliked anything I've heard. But I have never taken the time to investigate them. I'm a metal guy, not a flute man. But I loved this old school sound and feel. Some fantastic drumming too. And I never knew Ian Anderson had such a soulful voice. This song was quite different than anything else in this round. This was easily the best song in this round, but would probably rank 5th or 6th against the Night songs. This song really took me back big time. This was a risk, but it paid off.
11. Wolfking-Evergrey-Recreation Day
"It was pleasant enough. I need another listen"
So how is Evergrey not banned? Easy. I'm not crazy about them!
I've sampled them and I'm not in love with the vocals, and I feel like the guitars are tuned on the low end on my enjoyment spectrum. So when the song started and I heard the tone, I was quite concerned. But almost immedeately, the tone brightened up. And the vocals didn't bother me either. They sounded soulful. And holy shit that instrumental break in the song. Damn nice, with a piano leading back to the song. This song would give me a reason to give Evergrey another chance.
10. Puppies On Acid-Amorphis-A New Day
"I was intrigued to hear this. Wasn't what I expected"
I really dug this song. What a wonderful opening. Loved the verse. I actually loved the chorus too. If I had an issue, and it's a major one that held this back a couple of spots, was that the transition from verse to chorus was really jarring and lets the song down. I just feel like the song needed another step before it dropped down to the verse. Now when I sampled Amorphis a LONG time ago, they were a harsh vocal band, right? Like I said, this was not what I was expecting. Very enjoyable, and I would definitely follow up with this.
9. Kattelox-Stratovarius-When The Night Meets The Day
"I'm not totally unfamiliar with this band. I've never loved them, but I did like this song"
So how is Stratovarius not banned? Easy. I'm not crazy about them!
I feel like I get their type of music in much better places. And while I like a speedy double bass drum style, I am usually loathe to mid tempo plodders. But This song moved along pretty consistently. I really loved the solo. No shredding needed to be effective. This is a truly quality track. I wouldn't say I loved this, but I couldn't really find anything I disliked about it.
8. Evermind-Eden's Curse-Judgement Day
"This is pretty decent. Safe. But decent"
Can't really complain about this one. Checks a lot of boxes. Good pace. Good vocals. Good guitar. Catchy chorus. I can't really bash the song for being safe. It was a good choice. As with the Stratovarius, there was nothing I disliked about the song. I feel like it's propped up by a weaker field though. I think going forward, a song like this may struggle. I don't want a bunch of these types of songs. If this was in the Night batch, it'd be the 10th best song.
7. Kwijibo-Magnum-On Christmas Day
"It had its moments but I was expecting a bit more, to be honest."
Great old school hard rock. It should be right up my alley. It plods along to start, and then picks up around the 3:00 mark. Problem is, it's about 2 minutes too late. the rest of the song is pleasent enough. But if I could chop two minutes off the front end, I would like this a lot more. The whole middle of the song was really nice. And Bob Catley always sound nice, if unspectacular.
6. Parama-Closure In Moscow-Happy Days
"Kind of an odd song amongst the others, the last minute was great!"
What's cool about roulettes is that sometimes a song in a vaccuum can stand out. This is one of those songs. I genuinely liked this, even though it's not really my thing. This would be a great band to see in a club. I found it interesting enough. Reminds me of Fun that Parama sent me. The singer has a unique style, and it fits the bands sound very well. Not sure this song would get me to check out more from them though.
5. Stadler-Asia-Daylight
"As expected...yawn."
I had the first Asia album when I was a kid as part of a Columbia House haul. I quickly moved on to heavier music from the jump. I also hear Heat Of The Moment everyday over my work intercom. I actually love that song. This song does not live up to that. I honestly never understood a band of virtuoistic musicians making music like this. It is so blah and pointless. The only thing really saving this was John Wetton's silky smooth tones and a damned chorus that was so bad, it grew on me like a fungus.
4. Kingshmegland-Lacuna Coil-Daylight Dancer
"This was ok. Not great"
My first thought was that I thought Lacuna Coil had a female singer, so I was surprised to hear the male voice. I'm not necessarily a true lover of female vocals in my metal. I feel like switching to a female voice holds this song back. That's only my opinion. The song doesn't blow. But it just doesn't stand out, even in this batch of songs.
3. Lethean-Katatonia-Day And Then The Shade
"I have literally never heard a single song by this band. It wasn't bad."
So, I feel like this song had potential, but it just never had "that moment". Not sure what type of mood you need to be in to listen to Katatonia, but I'm not sure I'm in that mood very often. Pretty sure there's no way I could get through an album of this. I will say that they do seem like a thoughful band, and if there's something a bit more climactic or upbeat, I wouldn't mind hearing it.
2. Senecadawg2-Stratovarius-Halcyon Days
"I got 3 songs from the same band in this round. This was by far the worst and is the type of song that has kept me from really diving in to them in the first place"
My First Impression should tell you all you need to know about why I never got into Stratovarius. I've heard plenty that I like from them, but there's something about their music that holds me back. It's weird, because I like the speedy riffs and double bass beginning. The verse has a good pace. But this song doesn't have nearly the breadth and soul of the other Strato song in this round. A nice catchy chorus, but it's a lot like eating cotton candy. And the video game keyboard effects blow. That kills this song for me.
1. Elite-Devin Townsend-Earth Day
"I've sampled them before on youtube a number of times, and honestly, it's always been putrid. But I liked this. Most of it anyways."
After the first impression, I kind of liked this. But I grew to dislike it more and more with every listen. This would be a great instrumental. That lead in is fantastic, even the vocals in the beginning. Maybe I just don't get Devin Townsend. I didn't like the lyrics, the vocal delivery. I'm not sure what he's trying to say. He sounds like a dick, to be honest. But again, I may have totally missed the point. Musically this had everything going for it, but this was the one song I literally dreaded having to listen to, and for that reaon, it's in last place. Sorry.

My next post will be the results for the Day songs.
i didn't send stratovarius
I honestly didn't know what you sent, but I KNEW you didn't send Stratovarius. :lol

All right all right all right, I shouldn't have second guessed myself with that one.
But Halcyon Days is an amazing song. :loser:

-
Surprised at Devin Townsend pulling up the rear. Also would have thought Asia would have done better.
-
Sorry Seneca. Hopefully you have a strong Night song to off set it.
Regarding Stratovarius...I have heard quite a fair bit by them, though not in the last 12-15 years. I sampled them pretty heavily, but they just never hooked me. There was plenty that I liked, but I just found them way too inconsistent. I just couldn't bring myself to part with any cash.
Wolfking sent me Elysium in my first roulette, and it was strong enough.
But I definitely appreciate getting the tunes.
-

The Devin really turned me off. But musically it was excellent. But honestly, it was the only song I didn't want to listen to.

You shame me young padawan.

so for woman:
2 "woman" songs in my library, one of which i loathe, the other is not very good
5 "girl" songs but one of them is the reticent, which is banned, the other four i range from not caring for to kind of liking but none of them i think you'd like
4 "lady' songs but one of them is fractal cypher, which is banned, the other three are pretty weak tracks from their respective artists
well, odds are i'm not gonna even like one of the songs i send you this round :metal
"man" is super easy though i have several good ones here :P

"her" pulls a few good ones too
they're all generally the same concept :corn

Absolutely! I only guess the "yawn" impression for Evergrey because TAC expressed his lack of enthusiasm for Evergrey and Tom in the Redemption thread. Recreation Day is a great song.

The only thing really saving this was Geoff Downs silky smooth tones and a damned chorus that was so bad, it grew on me like a fungus.
I have that effect on people.
Oh, and I think I vote nay on "he" and "she" but yay on "lady", "girl", etc. They are different (one's a pronoun, and one is a synonym).
What a fuckin' geek. :)

So, I feel like this song had potential, but it just never had "that moment". Not sure what type of mood you need to be in to listen to Katatonia, but I'm not sure I'm in that mood very often. Pretty sure there's no way I could get through an album of this. I will say that they do seem like a thoughful band, and if there's something a bit more climactic or upbeat, I wouldn't mind hearing it.
They are indeed a thoughtful band, and although "upbeat" certainly isn't a word you'll hear to describe them often, they do have more upbeat songs than this one. Unfortunately for you, the night song isn't really one of them. :P But I'll be more than happy to send recommendations after the roulette. In the meantime, Stadler told you that I should get bonus points, right? :P
-
When can I send for round 2? :corn
-
TAC - he and she would be a lot easier for me, but you decide since it's your roulette. Just let us know. :)
-
I like the challenge of restricting to Lady, Woman, or Girl.
Whether you'll like what I come up with is another matter...
-
give me a definitive answer and i'll send something off to stads :P
-
I thought about sending Evergrey but I thought Tim already had an Evergrey round in one of his roulettes? Or I may be mistaken.
Also thought of sending this exact Devin song, glad I didn't do it. :lol
-
I would pay to see a roll off.
*Kraft thumbs up*
He said "roll", not "rub".
I see a bunch of whiners, bitching about the rules after ya signed up. Ya'll complain about how Bishop only moves diagonally when you play chess too? Sheesh.
In b4 TAC response.... "What's Chess?"
-
Yeah nice. Saw Recreation Day second with an 11 next to it and thought it was second last haha.
I will probably even it out with my night song though lol.
-
Well that wasn't too bad, let's see how my night song worked.
-
I mist say I’m kind of disappointed at Devin Townsend’s Earth Day coming in last place. It’s regarded as one of his best songs. I thought I had a homerun here :lol then again, there probably was a reason why he wasn’t band. He’s somewhat of an acquired taste, for sure.
-
should send something off deconstruction
except well there isn't really a chance to do so here i think lol
-
How about The Mighty Masturbator for "man" theme?
-
How about The Mighty Masturbator for "man" theme?
:lol
this is how you'd get rule 6'd
-
oh damn i just realized a song that should've been in my library somehow was not that coincidentally fits the theme (keeping to woman/girl/lady)
and i forgot to check earlier and like my top 3 picks for "man" were all banned, rip :lol
anyways sent round 2 to stads
-
Thank goodness for the Wild Card!
I had hopes for that 100% Iommi riff, but didn't expect it to score so good.
On a sidenote, I still can't understand what Kraft has done wrong, except frustrating his NFL competitors.
-
Ok after sleeping on it, here’s what I think.
If you guys are truly having trouble finding a song with Woman, Girl, or Lady, (which I have a hard time believing considering who is playing) I will allow She or Her for Woman. But please in good faith only use it as a last resort. If it’s just “I like this song better than that one” , I’d rather you just stick with the theme. Cool?
But you cannot use Him or He for Man.
-
I found two crunchy grooves for ya using BOTH the requested main words. So I should get bonus points for not begging for alts :neverusethis:

fine, both my man/woman songs are inferior to the him/her/he/she tracks i want to send but oh well :P
-
Bet mine scores better. Wanna make a wager? :biggrin:
I don't know; it was starting to be overwhelming, so what I did was make a table of the themes, and go through the bands that I can/want to send, and list all the songs for each (so that I don't send an average song from Band A in round 2 and find out that they have an AWESOME song for round 5 and I blew my wad; it's already happened. I have just in the last hour or so found both a "night" and a "day" song that I wish I thought of...).
I think I have a winner for this round, we'll see (and I would suggest there's no danger of anyone mowing my lawn on this one).
-
Thank goodness for the Wild Card!
Brother, it was literally the difference between first and last place.
In case anyone is wondering, Indiscipline sent the Jethro Tull with Soundgarden - The Day I Tried To Live.
For the record, I cannot stand Chris Cornell. I respect him immensely, but I simply cannot to listen to him screeching.

How do you feel about jazz?
-
That's good to know, because I had Soundgarden as an option for future themes. The Day I Tried to Live is a great song.

I am doing writeups now. Not quite half way through. I'm meeting my wife after this afternoon to look at cars due to last week's accident.
Slight chance results get posted tonight.

"Sister" too much of a stretch for "woman"? Asking for a friend.
-
"Round 2: Just Fucking Send Male or Female" :lol
-
"Sister" too much of a stretch for "woman"? Asking for a friend.
Yes, because I was contemplating "Madame" and discarded it. :biggrin:
-
Yeah, Sister is a stretch. This isn’t the Brother and Sister Round.
I actually don’t have a problem with Madame.
Which reminds me, Styx is banned.
-
I doubt I have any good madame songs anyways
Evermind told me he was considering the woman song I sent and that he thought it would bomb
He's right that it will but it was better than trying to send Algiers in this roulette lol
-
I had one great madame song which I'm sure would've been also decreed boring. :lol

Here are the results by First Impressions:
"Fucking Awesome"
“This somehow got in the back door, and that’s a great thing for you.”
"Oh hell yes, this is excellent."
"Excellent tune"
"I had zero idea what to expect. I like this."
"This band was sent in the "Day" Round, and this song is a lot better than the other one"
"There was a lot I liked about this song. And there was a lot I didn't."
“It’s likeable enough”
“This was really gloomy.”
“I’m trying. I’m really trying.”
I pulled these two out because both Indiscipline and Lethean got these correct, and I feel like they'd be obvious. I'll show their placement for the actual results, which will come tonight.
“This band needs Anthony Keidis”
"Thin Lizzy, Meatloaf, and Kenny Loggin's Danger Zone in a blender. I must say, the Phil Lynott ghost gave me goosebumps"

Night
12. Wolfking-Children Of Bodom-Silent Night, Bodom Night
"Fucking Awesome"
From the first note, this song was the song of the round. Holy shit, this fucker rips. Yeah, the vocals are the vocals, but this music more than makes up for it. Great middle section and nice transition back to the main song. Everything about this was perfect. I will be diving into this band for sure.
11. Indiscipline-Vandenberg-Waiting For The Night
“This somehow got in the back door, and that’s a great thing for you.”
I had the first Vandenberg back in the day. I found it very underwhelming. I never followed up with them. There was just something missing from their music. I never bothered to get it on CD, so I literally haven't listened to Vandenberg in 30 years. But this song is fantastic. Back in the day, a song like this was the token rocker. It's a great precursor the the original European Power Metal movement, which I am a disciple of. I was shocked to see Vandenberg come in, but I loved this song from the first listen and I knew it would be scoring high.
10. Senecadawg2-The Protomen-Light Up The Night
"Thin Lizzy, Meatloaf, and Kenny Loggin's Danger Zone in a blender. I must say, the Phil Lynott ghost gave me goosebumps"
So when this song started, I was like, WTF'nF is this? 80's Kenny Loggins? Eletcric drums, bad 80's music? And then the chorus started and I thought, hmmm the phrasing reminds me of something a certain someone. And then BAM! Holy fucking shit THERE HE WAS!!!!! I freaking had a heart attack when I heard the ghost of Phil Lynott literally appear right in my ears. And then the middle of the song goes full on Thin Lizzy. Talk about knowing your audience..Nice job.
9. Evermind-Kingcrow-Night's Descending
"Oh hell yes, this is excellent."
This song is excellent. Really moody and captivating. I feel like this song has the qualities missing from the two Katatonia songs in this round. Love the vocals. I really can't say how much I enjoyed this. Not sure if this is what Kingvrow usually does, but I'd be interesting in hearing more. I've seen them mentioned around here, but I have never personally checked them out. That is going to change.
8. Kingshmegland-Enchant-Nighttime Sky
"Excellent tune"
I think I've dropped the needle on Enchant a couple of times, but nothing has ever jumped out at me. Well, this song definitely did. This is a bit on the long side, but it goes by quick enough. Feels like a mix of late 80's Rush and mid Alder Era Fates. Love the rat-a-tat-tat of the snare, and the drum sound over all is really warm. This is a really interesting tune, and it sounds like Alex Lifeson himself closing out this song. Definitely going to check them out further. Not sure if they'll ultimately be heavy enough for me, but I'm intrigued.
7. Puppies On Acid-Enslaved-Queen Of Night
"I had zero idea what to expect. I like this."
I have literally never heard an Enslaved song before. I just figured that were all growls and that was it. This song was fantastic. Lots of different parts. The vocals were more than fine. This music had kind of an old school feel to it. Some Sabbath, some Fields Of the Nephilim, some Death. A weird mix for sure, but this song has so many levels it's working on. Checking them out as well, for sure.
6 Parama-Closure In Moscow-A Night At The Spleen
"This band was sent in the "Day" Round, and this song is a lot better than the other one"
This song was really cool. Not my thing at all, but sometimes a song on its own kind of stands out. Loved the lead guitar in this. I liked this song a lot more than the song in the other round, even though they scored the same. I'm a metal guy and every now and then an out of genre song will catch my ear, and I can appreciate it on its own merits. Yeah, this song stands up for sure.
5. Kwijibo-Machine Head-Descend The Shades Of Night
"There was a lot I liked about this song. And there was a lot I didn't."
There was a lot of meat on this song's bone. I liked it a lot. I know it's in the 5th spot, but this would be like the 3rd or 4th best song in the other round. I liked some of the old school influences. But the new school influences were evident too, and that tore me apart. Loved the accoustic opening and the mid section, but the 90's/00's influence ultimately wore me down. There's a tone to that music, that is on my low threshold of enjoyment. Machine Head does do a good job of masking that. But it was there. I think that was all that held this back for me. But I defintely enjoyed this. I'd check out more by them. Probably 50/50 that I'd like them though.
4. Kattelox-Stratovarius-Night Time Eclipse
“It’s likeable enough”
The ranking here doesn't really do this song justice, I'm afraid. I liked this. I did. I mean it wasn't great, but there wasn't really anything I didn't like about it. But it just didn't stand out amongst the others here. Plenty to like though. I love that middle instrumental part. You can see how it influenced Theocracy, which I love. The song is a bit long, for what it does. I wish i could've scored it higher, but the competition was stiff.
3. Lethean-Katatonia-New Night
“This was really gloomy.”
This is like John Mayer on his period. I think I liked this more than the Katatonia song. But I still didn't really get it. I kept waiting for this song to pick me up and take me somewhere, like the Kingcrow did, but it just never delivered.
2. Stadler-Asia-Midnight Sun
“I’m trying. I’m really trying.”
Carl Palmer, Steve Howe, John Wetton, Geoff Downes? Nah...
1. Elite-Agent Fresco-Yellow Night
“This band needs Anthony Keidis”
Started off pretty funky, but it just seemed to lose itself. Vocally, it needs an upgrade, say like Anthony Keidis to give it some real personality, which it severely lacked.

BOO YAH! 5th place so far, I'll take it. Although Bodom placing 1st and Strato and Asia placing last means I need to tread lightly from now on. Know thy host. :lol
Already sent my round 2 so it's nice to 'get the poison out' so to speak with Strato.
EDIT: I must be missing something, but Elite's average is 2 even though he had 1 with each song. Is that right?
-
I like how you score Tim! Try the early Enchant and see if it's your cup of tea.

These were Stadler's guesses at the rankings:
12 Stratovarius - Night Time Eclipse
11 Vandenberg - Waiting For The Night
10 Katatonia - New Night
9 Enchant - Nighttime Sky
8 Machine Head - Descend The Shades Of Night
7 Closure In Moscow - A Night At The Spleen
6 Enslaved - Queen Of Night
5 Kingscrow - Night's Descending
4 Asia - Midnight Sun
3 The Protomen - Light Up The Night
2 Children Of Bodom - Silent Night, Bodom Night
1 Agent Fresco - Yellow Nights
He got Vandenberg and Agent Fresco correct. Was off by a spot on Enchantand had Enslaved/Closure In Moscow inverted.
Pretty good!
350 TAC Points for Marla!

I'm glad you liked Enslaved. I'd say if you want to check them out further listen to the whole Below the Lights album and then work your way forward in their discography. Their albums before Below the Lights would probably be progressively less appealing to you, although you may find some stuff to like on Monumension and Mardraum, but I would save those for after you've checked out all the more recent stuff after BTL.

-
I like how you score Tim!
Cool, Thanks!
Personally, Stack Ranking is not something I'm crazy about. I'd hate to get a 2 and another guy get a 9 for a marginally better song. But I think having 2 scores averaging out kind of squares it up a bit.
-
yeah i don't dig stack ranking either but tbh because of the meme-y themes i don't have the intention of being super serious in this roulette, but i'll continue to send 6-scoring stuff until the end for sure
-
Knew you would enjoy the protomen, it was just a matter of whether to save them for a later round. That album is bad ass.
-
okay i finalized my submissions - two songs you're gonna hate :metal
i was gonna save an artist for a later round but i don't have options here matey

-

I don't want you to be super serious. I don't want anyone to be super serious. I'm happy to get anything you send me, whether you think something else might be better. It really doesn't matter. It's all new to my ears, and it's all appreciated.
-
i do dig me some enslaved but riitiir is the only album i've heard from them i really loved
and i wasn't really considering black metal for this roulette tbh :P
I wouldn't consider that song Black Metal though. Unless I don't know what Black Metal is.. :lol
Honestly, their early stuff, starting with their first album and going through Eld, was their straight black metal stuff. Even though they kept a lot of black metal elements to their music, starting with Mardraum, they started adding in lots of 70's style progressive elements, which I think they perfected on Below the Lights. Since then they've added more Mid-era Opeth in to their sound to go along with the Prog and black metal.
If you do start making your way through their discography, I do have a bit of a disclaimer. The album Isa may be a bit hard to get in to at first, but it is a rewarding experience with repeated listens. It tends to have a bit of a harsher/colder sound to it.
-
Yeah, I'm going to check them out. That song was really cool.

Alex, I thought for sure you sent The Protomen.

I am so wracked with indecision. I have a chance to send what I literally think is the greatest three minutes in my entire CD library, but given the reaction to Asia I feel it's not going to work roulette-wise. I have a replacement that will likely score well, but... ah me.

Don’t send Genesis.
Do not send Genesis.
HAHAHAHA. I showered late today, in fact right after I posted that, and I'm standing in the shower... thinking, and I had a moment of "F***, I was WAYYYYY too obvious with that last post!". I guess I was right.

Just keeping things on track. I need music!

I'm really coming for the snake eyes this time, btw, so watch out y'all

I'm missing one and a half. One is MIA, one sent a song that someone else had the good fortune of getting in first.

I should probably start looking for songs for the 3rd round.
I dare someone to send Swim to the Moon for the Sun & Moon round. :corn
Question: Would words like Lighten, Lighting, or Lightning work for round 7

-
round 7 is probably the single easiest round here, i highly doubt you need to cheat for it
i have 12 songs on my light list without any cheating :lol
though two of them are foreign language
which just shows how prevalent the word "light" is in metal
(and dark too obviously)

I had one specific band in mind to send to TAC when I signed up for this roulette and that's the only way I'm going to sneak it in. Either way is fine, because you are right, there is a prevalence of songs with the word light and/or dark and I have many back ups.
-
Question: Would words like Lighten, Lighting, or Lightning work for round 7
Lighten and Lighting would be fine.
I probably would NOT allow LightNing.
I actually considered a Thunder and Lightning round.
Maybe I'll use that for a tiebreaker...

Hatebreeder,

Fair enough.
Also I was thinking you missed a few good themes for rounds. Thunder and Lightning was one. Also Fire and Ice, Create and Destroy, Earth and Sky, etc etc....
-
I actually thought of Fire and Ice after I posted the OP. yeah, that would've been a good one.
I also considered Earth and Sky or something like that when coming up with the themes. I think that's where I went with Sun and Moon.
-
Oh, and I have new music. Round 2 officially starts...

I know what I'll send for round 3.
Spin Doctors - Little Miss Cant be Wrong :|
-
Just ran through the first 6 Woman songs.
Here are my First Listen impressions:
"I have literally never heard of this band. I like it though. It's a cross between Blondie and Deep Purple"
"So wonderful. I feel like I'm going to hell if I'm critical on this"
"Progressive. Very pleasant"
"So three people sent this song? Two of you may have lucked out by sending late."
"Oddly, I've never checked this band out. I should have, they're right up my alley. This song was solid, as expected."
"What motherfucker sent this?"
-
:rollin

curious what the three-person-sent song was now
probably not mine but who knows

The last one. :lol
-
I've chosen my "man" and "woman" tunes already, but please let me share with all of you fine folks the Greatest Man/Woman Titled Songs Ever Written I Haven't the Balls to Submit:
Man (the fogey brigade will recognise it immediately) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzMSfaNXYZg&t=52s)
Woman (there's a chance our wonderful secretary has actually sent this) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIRHTBvZRzU)
I saw this earlier today. Just checking the links now.
I know both, obviously, but goddamn, The Hulk Theme is so amazing.
-
I know what I'll send for round 3.

I also suspect the last one for my song. :lol

Or mine, or someone had the guts to send Winger :metal or Genesis :biggrin:
-
Jeez, finding a song that's worth sending with woman in the title is harder than I thought.
-
Jeez, finding a song that's worth sending with woman in the title is harder than I thought.
Yep. Especially metal doesn't tend to have just "woman" in song titles, it's always brides, daughters or Melindas ;)
-
Sent a couple of songs that I'm pretty happy with considering the theme and the bands available, but not sure if Tim will appreciate. Although I'm looking to push the boundaries each round on at least one song if I can.
-
Just ran through the first 6 Woman songs.
Here are my First Listen impressions:

Apparently this was a Wild Card submission. Good thing.

I definitely know who sent that :corn
It was actually on my short list for this round
-
Updated!
That's a weird title for a song.
-
Did someone send Alabama?
-
Someone sent something that sounded like Alabama. :lol
-
I totally missed my opportunity to send Flight of the Conchords - Ladies of the World :facepalm:
-
This a really average group of songs...
-
tough luck, you told me not to send he/him/she/her songs unless you absolutely had no options so you get second-tier music from me this time
neither of the songs i sent are songs i'd send from the respective artists in any other roulette, meanwhile my other picks were actually top-tier for the artists in question but i can't send 'em :P
-
Hah!
I was going to try and dig up your quote from yesterday. :lol
That's OK.
Today was a long day for me, so I only have one listen in on the Woman songs. Gonna spin the Man songs after work tomorrow, but just looking at the list, it looks much stronger....I think. :lol
-
This a really average group of songs...
Serves you right for having such limiting themes/restrictions :P! I had a quick perusal in my library of chick-songs that would meet the theme, and had 1 single song I'd rate 4* or higher.
-
I actually really like both songs I sent this round. Are they both 5* songs? Not quite, but they are still solid in my book.
-
Oh and give me an S
-
btw, since i can't send them in any other rounds either my ideal picks would've been:
Leprous - He Will Kill Again
Pain of Salvation - Her Voices
two killer tracks right there. can't send 'em. your loss :corn
-
But - and I mean this as an observation, not a criticism - logic says that there should be plenty of songs, especially with "man" in them. The limiter for me is more the banned list. TACs list literally took out 3/4 of my CD collection.
"Woman From Tokyo"
"Tarot Woman"
"Country Girl"
"When A Blind Man Cries"
"Man On The Silver Mountain"
"A Self Made Man"
I just wish I could have sent "Torpedo Girl".
-
This a really average group of songs...
This was almost impossible to find something I wpuld want to share with you.
I stuck with the word woman too. Not a fan of other pronouns being allowed honestly.
-
The themes are fun but are sometimes very limiting, as others have said. And when I find a good song to submit, I see that it is banned, or someone else sent it first.
This round was hard and looking at the first impressions, I think I know which song is mine, and it isn't a really favorable comment. :D
Oh, and give me an E.
-
Yeah having them banned is the kicker. Was gonna send WASP as tgey have a couple of excellent eligible songs but are banned.
Oh well, I find it good fun and challenging.
-
But - and I mean this as an observation, not a criticism - logic says that there should be plenty of songs, especially with "man" in them.
Yeah, I’m surprised it was so hard.

Based on what I’ve heard from both of these bands, I wouldn’t assume so.
Maybe I’ll ghost rank them....

It might have been the only option.
But - and I mean this as an observation, not a criticism - logic says that there should be plenty of songs, especially with "man" in them. The limiter for me is more the banned list. TACs list literally took out 3/4 of my CD collection.
I've got almost 20k songs in my iTunes library alone - others have bigger libraries. When I filter for "woman", I literally have 73 songs left over to chose from - and that includes album and band names. Let's scratch 13 from Shania Twain's "The Woman in Me", 16 from DT's bootleg "The Not So Silent Woman", and 19 more from Classic Rock / banned artists. I'd have been left with 25 songs to chose from. That's limiting. Fact trumps logic in this case.
If the "man vs woman" theme was opened up to anything masculine or feminine (pronouns, proper names etc... ; allow band names and/or album titles to be applicable), that brings about a lot more options.
It's Tim's roulette so he can set it up however he wants - but methinks this won't be the only round with an average / mediocre group of songs.
-
Since it clearly wasnt sent, how would you have responded to Dire Straits, Lady Writer?

Not sure. No one sent it.

Re:Chad....
Yeah, I’m surprised at the lack of choices for Woman. I really am. Obviously I didn’t expect it.
But everyone is in the same boat and I’m happy with the songs, even though the first impressions may not give that ...impression.
Hopefully the other rounds go smoother.

All good my man. It's your roulette, and as long as you're getting what you want out of it, that's Cool and the Gang (Pulp Fiction was on the TV the other night... damn what a fine movie)
-
I had a hard time in the same vein as Stadler. All the great songs for Women, I knew Tim already heard. So I hope mine rises to the top of the toilet bowl.
-
I saw Pulp Fiction in the movies and I have never seen it again. It was fine but it is overrated.

Wolfmother - Woman

Bite your tongue!!!
I guess Girl, You'll Be A Woman would've been a playable song then. Not that you would've enjoyed it. :lol
-
Since it clearly wasnt sent, how would you have responded to Dire Straits, Lady Writer?
I was very close to sending this song, and then I did sent another which is probably vastly inferior. :omg: :D
But all the complaining that the themes are limiting aside, it is fun and challenging. I will send songs from artists I wouldn't have thought about otherwise.
-
Hopefully the other rounds go smoother.
like i've called out - i have absolutely nothing good for "Right" or "Hate". Like, the only songs that get pulled up in my library are pretty bad or mediocre as hell lol
-
Wolfmother - Woman
oh btw this was one of the songs i originally considered because it's a solid guitar hero tune but it'd do awful in this roulette
this might also be the one like 3 people tried to send :P
-
I saw Pulp Fiction in the movies and I have never seen it again. It was fine but it is overrated.

Same. I figured if Dire Straits wasn't banned it was probably because he disliked them.
-
I only know the Dire Straits hits. Evermind sent me Telegraph Road in my last roulette, and I thought it did pretty good.
In a roulette, you just never know. I had only heard the Jethro Tull hits and have never heard an album track by them, but it won its grouping in Round 1.

Cool, thanks!
What I liked about Stadler's themes was that it allowed me to literally sent my favorite bands. Bands I would've never thought to had it not been themed. Themes sometimes puts me back in touch with some forgotten songs/albums in my collection.

-
I knew a few songs from Day and Night playlists, like Evergrey, Devin, Katatonia, Stratovarius, but this time I only know my song and Parama's. :lol
-
How do you know which one is Parama's? :)
I don't think I know any of them except mine, but I did know at least a few in the first round.
I didn't have many man options and only a few woman options, but we're all in the same boat here. I don't mind the themes at all.
In Stadler's however, I would have had trouble with some of them for sure. I didn't know who "the red rocker" even was, for example.
-
Other than Jason Becker and Labyrinth, or dropping the needle on The NFO, I’ve never heard a single note from any of these bands.
I might have gotten Oceansize in my last Roulette. Or The Ocean.
That said, I have ZERO idea who sent what this round.
-
i literally told ev what i sent because he told me he was considering it too

"I don't think so.."
"The beginning reminds me of Tesla's Solution. This rocks!
"This band would be a lot better if I was baked."
"I've seen this band mentioned on DTF. I liked this. Nice and heavy."
"I'm hot and cold on this band. This being cold."
"I've heard a lot of hype about this band, but you know what..this was pretty good."

Can anyone match the First Impressions?
First Listen Impressions for the Man songs:
"This was cool and all, but to be honest, I was expecting more."
"Sounds like a cross between the Joe Perry Project and Styx."
"I didn't really like this."
"Roll down the windows and crank it up!!"
"I don't think so.."
"The beginning reminds me of Tesla's Solution. This rocks!
"This band would be a lot better if I was baked."
"I've seen this band mentioned on DTF. I liked this. Nice and heavy."
"I'm hot and cold on this band. This being cold."
"I've heard a lot of hype about this band, but you know what..this was pretty good."
"A lot to chew on. I like it!"
"What is this? The Blues Brothers?"
-
I would try but I know like 2 of these songs. :lol
Blues Brothers = Volbeat?
Heard a lot of hype = Greta?
-
One of those might be right. Maybe..
-
Impressions game, women first:
"I have literally never heard of this band. I like it though. It's a cross between Blondie and Deep Purple" = Avatarium
"So wonderful. I feel like I'm going to hell if I'm critical on this" = Jason Becker
"Progressive. Very pleasant" = ACT
"So three people sent this song? Two of you may have lucked out by sending late." = Wolfmother
"Oddly, I've never checked this band out. I should have, they're right up my alley. This song was solid, as expected." = Labyrinth
"Well... it's better than Rap, which is what I thought I might be getting." = H-Blockx*
"Holy 80's, Batman" = Crazy Lixx
"I had higher hopes for this" = Glen Hansard
"Hmmm...I don't know" = Rival Sons
"Well, it's better than the piece of crap you sent with it." = Oceansize
"I was worried at first, but this has some kind of cool parts." = The Night Flight Orchestra
"How many licks to get to the Tootsie Roll center? Too fucking many!" = maudlin of the Well
*A blast from my teenage past! I actually bought the shark album when I was 15 or something. I believe I know who sent it, and I thank him 'cause it brought cool hanky panky memories back!
-
Wow!
I think you got like 7 right!!
Amazing.
When I get home, I will send Women rankings to Stadler for quality control. Once he approves, I will post Woan Results tonight!
-
I'm absolutely curious what "piece of crap" was sent and who sent it and if it's really a "piece of crap". :biggrin:
-
Woman Results have been sent!
-
:corn :metal :corn
-
Here's my guesses.
No this is not the order of the results (or the reverse order ;D)
Oceansize- Women Who Love Men Who Love Drugs Parama
The Night Flight Orchestra-Lady Jade Wolfking
Jason Becker - Magic Woman Kwijibo
Maudlin Of The Well-Girl With A Watering Can Lethean
Crazy Lixx-Hell Raising Woman Indiscipline
Glen Hansard-Why Woman Elite
Avatarium - Girl With The Raven Mask Evermind
A.C.T. - Lady In White Kingshmegland
H-Blockx-Little Girl Seneca
Wolfmother - Woman Puppies
Rival Sons-Lucky Girl Stadler
Labrynth - Lady Lost In Time Kattelox
-
maudlin is probably elite btw
right on me tho :metal
glen handsard could be seneca since he's the one who started the whole bird of sorrow wave a few years back
-
Incorrect on me, fella, but it's a perfect guess and a song I absolutely should have sent because it's a great one. I think I know who actually sent it...
-
Got me partner!
-
Incorrect on me, fella, but it's a perfect guess and a song I absolutely should have sent because it's a great one. I think I know who actually sent it...
I thought for sure that was you. Or maybe Indiscipline pimping an Italian band. ;D
-
Got mine and Parama right, yeah. Not sure if sending female vocals was a good idea, but I didn't send Lady in the Lamp by the same band, which is way slower than this one. This one rocks.
-
maudlin is probably elite btw
:biggrin:
come on, Bath is a top 10 album for me
:|
-
never found a copy of bath so i never got it but i didn't like leaving your body map that much anyways so EHH
-
I sent something completely different.
-
Got mine right.
And I sent back the correct pairings...
-
I sent something completely different.
I was way off on you.

Post it up, kill me dead :metal

I told my doctor I got two Oceansize songs in my Roulette and he promptly hooked me up. ;D

So other than a common sense of course, I suppose that’s a line from a show?

Does king have to smack a bitch?
From an 80's video.

granted, the song i sent isn't even one of my faves from the album it's on, and it's not even my fave oceansize album anyways, pretty much anything on frames tops it

Woman Results
12. Evermind...Avatarium - Girl With The Raven Mask
"I have literally never heard of this band. I like it though. It's a cross between Blondie and Deep Purple"
This song gets my blood pumping. I love the female vocals on this. Reminds me a lot of Plastic Letters Era Blondie. It's as if Debbie Harry replaced Ian Gillan in DP Mk2. The solo is Blackmorish in the beginning. I definitely am going to check this album out. This was easily the song of this batch.
11. Kingshmegland..A.C.T. - Lady In White
"Progressive. Very pleasant"
This song is probably the most interesting of this batch. There's a lot crammed in to it's 4 and a half minutes. There's nothing I didn't like about this. The song remained fresh throughout and kept me guessing. My only worry is that I thought it may not be heavy enough, but it stays a consistently strong level throughout. Another album to check out for sure.
10. Lethean...Labyrinth - Lady Lost In Time
"Oddly, I've never checked this band out. I should have, they're right up my alley. This song was solid, as expected."
This song has grown on me during the round. It was always in the upper half, but has risen the last couple of days. It's not a great song, but it certainly hits the spot. The more I listened I found new things to like about it.
9. Kattelox...Wolfmother - Woman
"So three people sent this song? Two of you may have lucked out by sending late."
Sounds a lot like early Lucifer's Friend. I was waiting for the french horn anytime. Love the retro feel on this. This could be taken off any early 70's prog/hard rock album. What I like about this song is its simplicity. It's a bunch of dudes just winging it.
8. Indiscipline...Jason Becker - Magic Woman (with Uli Roth and Chris Broderick)
"So wonderful. I feel like I'm going to hell if I'm critical on this"
So beautiful and inspirational. Incredible. No way I can critique anything Jason Becker does. He's an amazing man that does not deserve his plight. I am blessed to have seen him live, playing in DLR's band in 1991.
7 Wolfking...Crazy Lixx-Hell Raising Woman
"Holy 80's, Batman"
What year are we in? 1988? I honestly don't know anything about Crazy Lixx. I wouldn't touch a band with that name with 10 foot headphones. It's actually not bad, especially for a 50 year old guy reliving the good ole days. This sounds so familiar. It's good quality late 80's popular hard rock.
6 Puppies On Acid...The Night Flight Orchestra-Lady Jade
"I had higher hopes for this"
What year are we in? 1978? Kade's been pimping these guys hard over the last year or so. Probably sent them.. The chorus is so 70's. I like it. I'd be interested in hearing more from them. Pretty cool tune.
5. Stadler...Rival Sons-Lucky Girl
"Hmmm...I don't know"
The good news...this reminds me of something from Alice Cooper's Love It To Death. The bad news...it reminds me of Yeah Yeah Yeah and You Drive Me Nervous, the two weakest tracks from that album. That said, I appreciate the influence, and I definitely didn't dislike this song. Another retro song this round.
(Pain Of Salvation-Her Voices)
4. Elite...Maudlin Of The Well-Girl With A Watering Can
"How many licks to get to the Tootsie Roll Center? Too fucking many!"
The only reason this beat Oceansize was I liked its heavy section much better, and it lasted longer.
3. Parama...Oceansize- Women Who Love Men Who Love Drugs
"I was worried at first, but this has some kind of cool parts."
This rounds Katatonia...but longer.
2. Senecadawg2...Glen Hansard-Why Woman
"Well, it's better than the piece of crap you sent with it."
This was pleasant enough. Can't really ever envisioning myself revisiting Glen Hansard. I mean, any song in a vacuum can be effective in a roulette (Steam Powered Giraffes, fun), but this didn't really get me going.
1. Kwijibo...H-Blockx-Little Girl
"Well... it's better than Rap, which is what I thought I might be getting."
Oof.. I actually liked the verse, but that chorus screamed 90's rock. Like Nickelback or something. The chorus was the most umpleasant moment of both rounds.
-

POS would've caused you to swap spots with Elite.

Emilie Autumn - Fight Like A Girl
-
Oh well, at least I tried :D
While I really like this song, I asked myself why I sent it, immediately after I sent it.
And at least I made Indiscipline happy.
-
Nice!!!!
-
I was hoping to do a bit better than that with The Night Flight Orchestra. Oh well. Hopefully the other song did better.

4 times higher than last round!!!
(I was one of the people who sent Wolfmother as well - what a shame)
-
The first impression on Wolfmother doesn't jive with its rankings. I wasn't crazy about it on the first listen. But it grew on me.
-
About what I expected.

They are a german crossover band, don't know if they were/are known in the US as well. Marco Minnemann played drums on their debut.

Emilie Autumn - Fight Like A Girl
When I came across it, I knew I had to send it, even if it meant wasting the wild card.
It was the single most un-TAC song in my entire library.
-
for the record for the Man round I also was considering King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man
would that have been banned tho
-

No it wouldn't. Would've been fine.
I actually rented one of their CD's from my town library. Not sure which one, but it has Elephant Talk on it, which absolutely blew big chunks.

I did miss that mate. Roulette mission accomplished. When you were first dabbling in growls ages ago, COB were the first band that came to mind that I thought you would like.
Are You Dead Yet? is worth a purchase too. Mixed reviews but I always liked that one.
-
Hey hey hey. Not bad. I'll take it.
-
And at least I made Indiscipline happy.
Which is what we all should strive for, really.
Speaking of, I'm very happy about the result! Old Uli is absolutely stunning on that tune.
-
TAC what are the accepted words for round 3? give me some leeway or you're getting genuine crap i don't even endorse :corn
-
Glad Labyrinth did well. They have some really nice stuff.
-
TAC what are the accepted words for round 3? give me some leeway or you're getting genuine crap i don't even endorse :corn
I would have to think after this round, it should get easier..
Right and Wrong are the accepted words.
I'll also accept Correct and Incorrect. ;D
-
Also..
Rightful/Wrongful
Rightfully/Wrongfully
-
yeah I have two available "right" songs in my entire library and one of them is hot garbage so you're getting the mediocre one off a forgettable album from an okay band
-
I have no problems with this round, so that means I should automatically place better than Perma :biggrin:
When mansults?
-
mansults
I definitely read this wrong the first time
-
:lol
I'm shooting for tomorrow night. I have the rankings. Just have to do the writeups.
-
mansults
I definitely read this wrong the first time
I'd like to see those rankings you thought of :lol
-
i'm definitely not sending this for the Right round but I figured I'd just leave these here so you can tell me how much of a 1 this would've gotten https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrOeGCJdZe4
what i actually send is like a 5/10 song in my book. the other option i had is even worse though.
i had two solid picks for Wrong but one of them is an artist i want to save for a later round with a better song, so i'm sure someone is gonna snipe them from me before then
-
That's pretty bad! Wrong, actually.
-
yeah I have two available "right" songs in my entire library and one of them is hot garbage so you're getting the mediocre one off a forgettable album from an okay band

I bought the first two really cheap, but it's a third party from Europe. It's already shipped though.
I got the other three today. Haven't opened them yet. Been a long day.
-

plenty
i have a lot of options include 1 that's incredibly TAC and incredibly unlikely to be sent by anyone else, and a handful of other really good ones i probably won't need
-
Nice!
Don't buy the album just yet, the rest of it is quite different from this song, and overall I prefer their first one, which is also quite different from this song.
-
I hope someone sends White Walls for round 5 :metal :corn
-
for a second i thought you were talking about the band
but it'd be really funny to send TAC BTBAM, i agree
-
At the same time it's such a good song. :hefdaddy
-
yeah
tbh i still think i like sun of nothing best off Colors but I'm not fully wild about any song there, some of the heavier elements on colors are too lacking in melodic value to work
i love TGM for basically fixing that almost entirely
-
I've got some songs lined up for the next rounds.
Would sunrise or sunset be ok for sun?
And dead instead of death?
-
yeah

I fully agree. TGM is my favorite. Although Colors blew me away when it first came out. Such a step up from Alaska. And I thought Alaska was a massive step up from The Silent Circus.
-

Sure, i’ll do it. Why not? :corn

Ooh, sorry to hear that. I really liked that song, so I'll definitely check them on Spotify while I wait for the next round to come in.

Mansults
12. Lethean...Communic - Becoming Of Man
"I've seen this band mentioned on DTF. I liked this. Nice and heavy."
I was worried when I saw the length, but that quickly subsided. Love mix on this and actually hearing the bass is always a plus.The instrumental section leading into the mellower part is cool, as is the mellow part. But this song hooked me on those tight rhythm/bass/double kick runs.
11. Evermind...All Seeing Eyes-Medicine Man
"The beginning reminds me of Tesla's Solution. This rocks!
Holy shit, does this song rip. Love it. Love it. This isn't even on Spotify. Not sure what the rest of their stuff is like, but this was great.
10. Kingshmegland...Cell 15-Man With A Gun
"Sounds like a cross betwen the Joe Perry Project and Styx."
All sorts of goodness going on here. It beats out the Arena with its heaviness. Lots of progressive influences. This song is a journey. Love how it goes from full on prog right into the Joe Perry Project at the "I was thrown into the population" part. That hits a spot for me, big time. Definitely going to check this band out.
9. Puppies On Acid...Arena - The Butterfly Man
"A lot to chew on. I like it!"
This song has a weak second half, reminds me of Marillion, but the first half is so damn strong. Like listening to JP. I liked this and would definitely investigate further. Quality track though. This band has a lot going for it. Great sound and very enjoyable.
(Leprous-He Will Kill Again)
8. Kattelox...Greta Van Fleet - Age Of Man
"I've heard a lot of hype about this band, but you know what..this was pretty good."
This guy has a really unique voice.yeah I hear Robert Plant, but when he's really letting loose, he reminds me a bit of Noddy Holder. Lots of hubbub in the other thread about Led Zeppelin. Based on this song, I don't really get it. I mean I can see the influence, but it's not overstated in this song at least. A very pleasent surprise.
7. Elite...Volbeat - Sad Man's Tongue
"Roll down the windows and crank it up!!"
I have literally never heard a Volbeat song before. Sounds kind of country to start out, but then is rips to shreds. Crank this motherfucker up! I liked this. I might check them out based on this. At least drop the needle on a couple other tracks.
6. Indiscipline...Racer X-Dead Man's Shoes
"This was cool and all, but to be honest, I was expecting more."
Paul Gilbert sounds cool on this, but these are some boring AF drums. The vocals aren't all that strong either. Another average song. This is just Mr. Big redux. Racer X is supposed to rip aren't they?
5. Stadler...G/Z/R-Man In A Suitcase
"I didn't really like this."
Really average tune. For Black Sabbath completists only.
4. Parama...Oceansize-You Can't Keep A Bad Man Down
"This band would be a lot better if I was baked."
I think I'd just rather listen to Pink Floyd. What placed this above Mastodon was at least I could chill to this.
3. Wolfking...Mastodon-Burning Man
"I'm hot and cold on this band. This being cold."
I actually have Crack The Skye. Not really familiar with early Mastodon. This song was just kind of noise though. Last 20 seconds were amazing and easily the best part of the song.
2. Kwyjibo...Burning Water-Yes Man
"What is this? The Blues Brothers?"
Seems like a good time party song, not unlike anything being played at every frat party across America. Not really my kind of thing, though.
1. Senecadawg2...Damien Rice - It Takes A Lot To Know A Man
"I don't think so.."
This song is too long. It's fine It would've been fine to cut it at about 4 and half minutes. It really lingers too long. And even at that, it doesn't really stand up to the rest of the round.
-
Fark yeah. Doing better than expected so far. Glad you liked those tunes, I thought you would. I would suggest both those albums to you because they're just good fun rock albums, no frills.

OK, 100% more points than the woman song. :biggrin: But seriously, Blues Brothers? I can imagine a lot of associations to that song but Blues Brothers isn't one of them.
And believe it or not, I first sent that Communic song, knowing it would score great but Lethean beat me to it. :facepalm:
-
11.5! Nice.
Also I told you some of my stuff won't be on Spotify. :lol
The album is all over the place from prog to hard rock as far as I remember, but there are some great tunes. I remember winning a round with a song called Hunted by the same band. It's also like 100 minutes long, I think, so there is some filler too.
Shoot me a PM if you're interested further.

Well, it struck me as a good time party song, and that made me think of the Blues Brothers. OF course, I've never actually seen the Blues Brothers.. :lol Maybe I was thinking Animal House..

i already sent my round 3 songs to stads :metal
should've let me send the leprous obviously
here at least listen to this one more single short oceansize song

Jesus, finding a decent 'right' song is harder than the man and woman theme.
lol yeah i know, like i said i literally have nothing good for this one, so no whining allowed from TAC :P
-
I'm actually fairly pleased with my ranking on the Arena song. I'm off to a decent start with plenty of time to take the lead :corn
Sent off my round 3 songs to Stadler. This was the round I had the least amount of stuff for. We shall see how this goes.

*sends mathcore for round 3*
TAC: "this sounds like Katatonia 2 points"
Editor's Note: I did not actually send mathcore as I am not that stupid yet
-
I will probably send something ridiculous, I have next to nothing for this round.
-
I have literally never heard a Volbeat song before. Sounds kind of country to start out, but then is rips to shreds. Crank this motherfucker up! I liked this. I might check them out based on this. At least drop the needle on a couple other tracks.
Rock the Rebel / Metal the Devil is a pretty good record and Guitar Gangsters... is alright, but the stuff after that is mostly boring radio-friendly hard rock.
-
Elite, I'm coming for you!
-
Sent for round 3. I have a feeling my main choice has been taken for the Right song... so literally my only other possible choices are a funky dance number or a sexy chill-pop tune. Diving on the last place grenade for half of next round for sure!

I must say that you're one of 2 or 3 people here that would get that reference. I actually thought of you while writing that.

For me heads is 2 points tails is 6 points but for others it's like heads is 11 points tails is 12 points
-
here at least listen to this one more single short oceansize song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoi_35EKAjk
At least this one was upbeat. Their vocals blow though. :lol
Love where it goes around 1:55 and again at 2:30.
I hear some Rush in them for sure, especially in those rhythms at around the 3:05 mark, and even earlier.
Cool, thanks for posting!
-
11.5! Nice.
Also I told you some of my stuff won't be on Spotify. :lol
The album is all over the place from prog to hard rock as far as I remember, but there are some great tunes. I remember winning a round with a song called Hunted by the same band. It's also like 100 minutes long, I think, so there is some filler too.
Shoot me a PM if you're interested further.
Email sent!
-
How is the pace so far, boys?
Stadler will be sending me half of the round tonight so I can get started. Hopefully everyone else can send tomorrow.
Just a quick note...
Thank you so much Stadler for helping me.
Even for the guys that haven't scored that great. I appreciate what you've sent me, but more than that, I appreciate your participation.
Still lots of game left, and with the Stack Scoring, send two killer songs, and you'll be right back in it.
-
Bugger.
-
After this round I have some genuinely good crap you'll at least like for most of the rounds from here on out
But I literally have like two "Hate" songs and I'm not huge on either of them so that's gonna be crap too sorry that's like the only hard one left
-

I'd accept Hateful or Hated.

Good! Its the scores that im concerned about... :smiley:

I have none of those, nor do I have Hatred :P
-
Pace is good, sir, though I lost track of time the last week what with the flu and all. Fun roulette. when next results
-
i have no clue how you get results out this fast tbh with 24 songs each round :P
though it's easier to stack rank than assign scores on a 1-10 scale to be fair
-
I think Stack ranking is harder TBH.
Usually, there's an easy Top 2-3 and Bottom 2-3 right off the bat, but 4-9 are all pretty close, generally. It's tougher to assign one an 8 and the other a 4, whereas on a 1-10 scale, you're looking at an 8.6 vs an 8.3.
I listen to each playlist 5 times. By the 4th listen, I pretty much have it ranked. I do writeups as I listen to the 5th listen. If I'm stuck on a couple songs that are close, I'll listen to those an extra time or two only to rank them against each other.
And obviously, I'm not wasting much time on writeups. :lol
-
Yippee yay! :)
I wasn't sure how well Communic would do, but I hoped you'd enjoy it. I didn't expect both this and Labyrinth to score highly though - which is probably silly cuz I like them both, so why not someone else? :)
Will send either late tonight or tomorrow.
-
I loved the machine gun underbelly of the Communic. :metal
-
Pace is good. My scores not so much. :laugh: From now on I will send only killer songs.
-
Pace is Clive Burrish, and the Stack Standings make things unpredictable until the end. Good times overall.
-
So thankfully my original 'right' song wasn't taken, but unfortunately, although it was the best option I had, I think TAC is still going to hate it. The 'wrong' song however is pretty fun and I think he'll dig it. Hopefully that'll balance out to a (fingers crossed) pleasant score.
-
I hope none of mine were already taken because it's definitely slim pickings. :)
-
If everyone's right song sucks maybe I won't get a terrible score just a mediocre one
Mine is a completely unmemorable song off an album I haven't listened to in at least 5 years, from a band who I like but don't love that have better albums full of better songs that don't have "right" in the name
-
That's what I'm hoping for...
-

This definitely, 100% sounds like the song I sent, because this is how I'd describe it, except I do love the band :lol
-
Oh btw the literally only other option I had was Right in Two by Tool which friggin blows
-

I also considered that song, but if I remember correctly, it isn't on Spotify, so that's a no go.
-

I mean this as well, but if I'm gonna send a tool song it better at least be a good one, a 3 pointer instead of a 1 pointer
There's also one instance I have where I am absolutely gonna upload the file myself because the band decided to pull it from spotify for no good reason but we'll get there when we get there
-
Sent.
Tim, gotta say, strange rule about first in gets the song in the round. Just my opinion though.
-
Are you saying I should accept the same song from two different people? I don't think that's ever been an accepted roulette policy.. :)
-
I actually took my time since I have to dig through my songs, identify the ones most went send, will Tim like it at all, procrastinate about Tim liking it or not, get to the fuck it. He'll like it to the, he'll hate this so much to sent!
-

I know there was some roulette where two people used the same Beardfish song on their EPs and both were accepted
-

-
I know it's been a slow day here in the thread,
I worked 7-4 and then we just got in from picking up our new/used car because of the TACcident a couple of weeks ago.
My secretary called in sick today anyway. He did manage to send me half of the round last night, but I sent back two songs as I was already familiar with them. And in case anyone else wants to send The Beatie Boys, my college roommate almost lost his life for playing them knowing it would annoy me. ;D
Regarding Tool..I really only know their first single, the one with the little clay guys in the video. I liked that song a lot. But I've dropped the needle on them a couple of times, and I found them too devoid of melody, and kind of monotonous. But I would happily accept a cool Tool song.
-

I've accepted the same bands in rounds but not the same songs..
I'd change it but how should I address the Wolfmother from last round? Two others wanted to send it. It did well...should I bump their scores? Which I'm fine with..
Is everyone cool with that?
If two songs are sent that are the same, and in the stack ranking they fall in the 6th position, meaning there's a 7 above them and a 4 below them, then since they fall at 6 and 5, do they each get a 5.5??
Please advise! ;D
-
Being that I sent the Wolfmother and got the nice score I say fuck 'em, find a different song you wankers, there's a wide wide world of music out there :lol
-
Curious, what songs did you send back :corn

No no, don't change mate, I don't expect that. To be honest, I'm working 14 hour days so I'm not really following everything here too closely so I didn't even notice the Wolfmother thing, so excuse my ignorance. I sent two songs anyway to attempt a wildcard but looks like I get to save that for next round now. :D
Feel like I've already kind of won with Children of Bodom mate so it's no biggie.
-

If you are going to procrastinate and someone else sends the song you wanted to send first, you have no one to blame but yourself.

for the record i am not saying i support allowing two people to send the same song (as i don't myself)
however i am just pointing out that there is some precedent for it :corn
-
Curious, what songs did you send back :corn
I sent back The Beastie Boys-You Gotta Fight For Your Right (To PAAAAAAAAAAARTY)
and:
Supertramp-Bloody Well Right....which I assumed was Stadler himself ;D But I've heard the song a million times.
I have Breakfast In America on CD too..

They're not on my radar right now, but I've downloaded it to Spotify. Maybe I'll spin it Friday on my way back home.

Have you guys heard the new/recent song by some hip hop dude that samples Breakfast In America? I hear on my work intercom all the time. Holy shit are the hip hoppy lyrics ridiculous.

That's Steely Dan you silly ninny.

Supertramp-Bloody Well Right....which I assumed was Stadler himself ;D But I've heard the song a million times.
This was on my shortlist and I seriously considered sending it for a while.
-
I also sent the Communic song that won the man round, but I was a little bit too late. If TAC would allow the same song from different people I would have scored 10 instead of 2.
But fuck it, first come first serve and the rest can see what else they got. :)
-
Steely Dan?
A hip hop band used a Steely Dan sing unauthorized and got sued. That was a long time ago. I forget the song.

Being the guy in last place who also sent Wolfmother last round, I’d say it’s more than fair that you only accepted it the first time. It’s an incentive to send quickly, because your options are limited as is. Keep it like it is, definitely don’t bump my score (and in future rounds, keep on punishing people for sending late(r)).
-
Cool, thanks..
No one has sent late yet! Hopefully everyone gets in today. I think Stadler mentioned on Tuesday night that he was still waiting for three submissions, plus the rejected songs.
Hopefully I can start listening tonight and keep this thing on schedule for everyone.
-
Supertramp did that Bloody Well Right song?! I think I dislike that song more than School, which Chad sent in my last roulette. :lol

OK..
I won't be at my laptop until about 9:00pm tonight. I'll try to get it posted tonight.
Oh....and I accepted the same song twice this round. It was a song that could be used for either, and it was submitted as a Right song and as a Wrong song. So I'm interested to see how it fares on each list.
-
That's interesting :corn
-
Intriguing :corn
-
Mysterious. :corn
-
Not really, I'm fairly sure I know which song that is. Not gonna spoil it though.
Tim, would it be alright if I send you Stadler Rounds 4 and 5 in the next few days? Not because I want to, like, reserve my songs, but because of my work situation. See my roulette thread if needed.
-
Mysterious. :corn
Inconceivable! :corn

Outrageous!

TAC - what are the rules about bands that were sent in previous rounds? In some roulettes, if a band scored lower than a certain threshold, you could send them again at your own risk. Do you have that for this roulette?
-
If a band scores LESS THAN 5 points, it may be used again by a DIFFERENT participant. But anything that scores 5 or higher will be banned during the roulette.
So no Katatonia isn't banned
-

:lol Who said anything about Katatonia? :P
Sorry for the stupid question - I scrolled through the OP but obviously didn't look very hard.
-
The sky is blue, the earth is round, Lethean sends Katatonia
-
Even though I’ve kept this on pace for the first couple weeks, the last two weeks have actually been pretty hectic in TACland.
My plan is to update the bands used and the bands that can be used again.
-
Sadly Amorphis can't be used again, Daughter Of Hate is such a great song.
-
Sadly Amorphis can't be used again, Daughter Of Hate is such a great song.
I actually debated whether to wait and send that song, but I didn't want someone to ninja me. Plus I found a (subjectively) better song for the Love Hate round.
-
Without public comment, whoever sent Amorphis this round has to resend to Stadler. It was already used in around 1.
-
I would have sent Wrong Direction too if Amorphis wasn't banned.

Edit: Never mind, already guessed.
-
OK..I think I'm all updated.
-
OK, just ran through the RIGHT sings. After one listen, here are my first listen impressions:
"This is some heavy shit"
"What is this? Space Dye Vest II?
"In their genre, I find them kind of..um..solid. But here, it should do well."
"Wow, that was really nice."
"Well, I asked for it, didn't I?"
"This band is crazy."
"Wow, this was really great."
"Gee, that was really vanilla."
"More like Vanilla Bean. Too long for what it is."
"This didn't work."
"This song would've been much better after a few beers."
"What the motherfucking fuck? You in the wrong roulette, brah?"
-
Gee, that was really vanilla.
-
This might be me.
"In their genre, I find them kind of..um..solid. But here, it should do well."
-
This might be me.
"In their genre, I find them kind of..um..solid. But here, it should do well."
If you sent what I think you sent, it's not you. :lol
Gee, that was really vanilla.
There is no way on earth that you sent this song. I don't know what you sent, but I know it wasn't this. :lol
-
Oh fudge. Lol
-
I could be one of the vanillas, I could be the nice or the great one, but I could also be the one that didn't work. The rest doesn't really fit.
-
Oh fudge. Lol
I think I've picked 3 out your 4 songs. We'll see.
I could be one of the vanillas, I could be the nice or the great one, but I could also be the one that didn't work. The rest doesn't really fit.
I think I had a general idea of the type of songs you'd send me, and you've surprised me. I was way off.
-
I was just looking at my last roulette. I also got Katatonia there too.
Here's what I wrote:
Katatonia...Old Heart Falls
I found this song interesting. It was easy on the ears. I didn't not like it. I'm glad it was only four and a half minutes. I definitely couldn't have taken 8 minutes of this, but it was compact enough. A solid track. A pretty decent tune.
7.0
:lol
-
Glad I surprised you, but looking at my scores, I was way off. :D
And for the sake of the Hangman, give me the H before I go to sleep.

So I was updating most of yesterday on my phone, which is a pain in the ass. I did the same thing with Oasis. I mean, if it was so obviously that the next post after the update would be the correct band name guess, it was easier to just post it in one update. If I was home sitting on my ass, I'd have probably left it unsolved.

Wrong Frist Listen Impressions:
"I'm not unfamiliar with this band. Not really a fan when they play in this style though."
"Well, there's no way I could call that unpleasant."
"Not sure... We'll see, but this has lower rankings written all over it."
"How old do you think I am?"
"This got in the back door too. I liked it. Wait, wut?"
"This was risky."
"I had no idea what to expect from this, but it certainly wasn't that."
"I had no idea what to expect from this, but it was very cool."
"Dude, you're killing me. Still, this was better than I expected. Don't get your hopes up just yet, though."
"I've never heard this band before, and I was expecting something a bit more powerful. This was kind of disappointing."
"Yeah, I think this person knows me pretty well."
The Royal Hunt First Impression was listed in the last batch...
TAC Points for:
Matching the song with the First Impression
Correctly guessing the correct Rank
Matching the Song with the Sender...(NO PUBLIC CONFIRMATIONS!)

Well, I finished my RIGHTups. Got 4 listens in. Gonna run through them one more time after work tomorrow. There could still be some movement in the middle, but I think I have it straight. Then I'll shoot them off to Stads. He should be fresh after a weekend at the spa.
Gonna spend the rest of today with the Wrong Songs.

TAC for next round how many of these words are acceptable:
Sunrise
Sunset
Sunlight
Sunday
Moonlight
Moonshine
I already have a Moon song 100% picked out but what I send for Sun may vary in quality depending on allowed words
-
All are acceptable except for Sunday.

rad, the only Sunday song I was considering was a mid-tier devin song I wouldn't have sent anyways :P

Well it is Tim so it has to be a certain genre. Lol

Damn, you caught me. :lol
I don't even know if I have a song with 'brown' in my library...
-
Joe, did you see the Kiss Revenge club tour in ‘92? They had a great band called a shooting Gallery. One of the best live performances I’ve ever seen. They were led by Andy McCoy, the former guitarist for Hanoi Tocks. Anyway..,,,,,,,
They did a great cover of BROWN Eyed Girl on their album.
-
I did. That was so fun seeing them so close instead of a big stadium.
-
Do you remember the opening band at all?

I have my brown song. First single off of Primus' excellent album "Tales From The Punchbowl", about a girl named Wynona and her pet.

Is that the one they opened for Rush? If so, so did I. That was a good show.

Right Results have been submitted!
Here are my guesses:
David Gilmour- Evermind
Anathema-Parama or Puppies
Tool- Kwyjibo
Ordinance- Puppies or Parama
Sonata Arctica- Kattelox
Kayo Dot- Elite
Our Lady Peace- Kingshmegland
Pretty Maids- Wolfking
Sammy Hagar- Stadler
Steve Earle-Seneca
Suicidal Tendencies- Indiscipline
Royal Hunt- Lethean
-
You may or may not be possibly correct
-
I mean yeah Gilmour's mine, it's a good song that's going to tank in this roulette probably.
-
You get as much points guessing what I sent as I get for the songs I sent. Not many ;D
-
I did send Kayo Dot, but you must know that my options were extremely limited and you would have hated the other song.
-
Yup. Good Call.
-
I did send Anathema ftr
Off when they sounded more like Katatonia
And not even one of the good or memorable songs off that album
We're Here Because We're Here is a great album tho
-
Now that the results have been submitted - I sent two Right songs that were rejected, and I didn't have anything left, so I went to the metal archives and searched for songs with right in the title. I could have sent bands with names like Disfigured Corpse and Nostril Caverns... :P
But Royal Hunt is a band I've heard of and they didn't suck at ProgPower, so I went with that instead.

Rightsults
12. Kwyjibo...Sammy Hagar-Who Has The Right
"Wow, this was really great."
Obviously, I'm aware of Sammy Hagar. Saw him a half dozen times with Van hales back in the day. But I'm honestly not crazy about him, and other than his 80's hits, I know none of his solo work.
I must say that this song is fantastic. It's quite powerful. Great lyrics and performance. This actually gave me some goosebumps. It's about 30 seconds too long, we get the picture OK, but other than that, this song is all win.
11. Indiscipline...Suicidal Tendencies-Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right
"This band is crazy."
Classic Suicidal is such a weird mix of Metal, Punk, and Surf. I never really became a fan because I was all metal. But I liked them in small doses. This song is really cool. Has a great arrangement for such a short song with some nice transitions. Way more talented and thoughtful than most people gave them credit for. A great pick for this round. Appeals to my Old School side.
10. Wolfking...Pretty Maids-King Of The Right Here And Now
"In their genre, I find them kind of..um..solid. But here, it should do well."
Classic metal here. I've always found Pretty Maids fairly underwhelming. And this one doesn't really jump out at you, but it has some subtleties that really round off some edges. Not sure this song really stands out with stronger competition, but here it's good enough to secure the third spot.
9. Evermind….David Gilmour-Dancing Right In Front Of Me
"Wow, that was really nice."
I knew this would be one of the top songs. Nothing you could really say negative about this song. It's quite strong. I wished I liked David Gilmour more than I do. He has a great catalog. I'm a metal guy and I don't think I could really get into a long stretch of Gilmour, but I'm sure he has a number of songs that do what this one did...impress.
8. Senecadawg2...Tool-Right In Two
"Well, I asked for it, didn't I?"
This song is way too long for what it does. Great rhythms but so devoid of melody, it makes it sound kind of monotonous. I mean, this song did not suck. Parts of it were really cool, but I had trouble staying into it for almost 9 minutes. It was kind of a "just miss" though because I liked a lot of it.
7. Puppies On Acid...Ordinance-Divine Right
"This is some heavy shit"
First thing that jumped out at me was there is some great drumming going on here. If there's going to be growls, then the music better make it worth it. This song king of does that. Not a bad song. Not a great one. But this band has some chops. Loved the solo at about the 3:45 mark. Decent tune.
6. Parama...Anathema-Make It Right
"What is this? Space Dye Vest II?"
Love the LSOAD/SDV style keyboards. Really nice. Unfortunately there's not much else going on to keep me interested. Anathema has been used before in my last roulette, and that song had such a climax. This doesn't really come close to that.
5. Stadler...Steve Earle-The Devil's Right Hand
"This song would've been much better after a few beers."
Pretty neat tune. Not exactly in my wheelhouse, but I liked it. Can see this being played in a bar with drunken fools.
4. Lethean...Royal Hunt-So Right So Wrong
"Vanilla Bean. Too long for what it is."
This song is only marginally better than the Sonata Arctica. It's not nearly as monotonous, but this could also use a testosterone boost. Why this had to go longer than 5 minutes is beyond me. I wouldn't write off Royal Hunt because of this song, but I'm not likely to go exploring either.
3. Kattelox...Sonata Arctica-I Have A Right
"Gee, that was really vanilla."
Just when I think this song needs some balls......suddenly female spoken word section begins. :lol
It was the best part of the song.
2. Kingshmegland...Our Lady Peace-Right Behind You
"This didn't work."
Oh boy. Checked the year on this. 2000. Yup, I can tell. Honestly, this is one of my least favorite styles of rock. I don't mind changing lanes for a song in a roulette, but I've heard too much of the style to know it's not going to work.
1. Elite...Kayo Dot-Right hand Is The One I Want
"What the motherfucking fuck? You in the wrong roulette, brah?"
There. That's my writeup. ;D
-
I wouldn't have sent Right in Two even if I thought you would like it because I think it sucks so a 6 is fine for a song I literally have no investment in, lol
-
I should have been faster. Tool was my first choice and Anathema second; both would have scored better. I'm sure the Royal Hunt song is better than Disfigured Corpse though. :)
-
Yeah that's about what I expected :lol
-
:metal :metal :metal Wow, that was unsuspected. I like that song but I would never have sent it in a roulette if it weren't for lack of other good "right" songs. And then I feared it would be rejected, because how could you not have Sammy on your banned list.
And now watch me blow it all up with the wrong song (pun intended).
-
I think your ears are broken. Lol
-
Yeah, so that was really the best I could do here :lol
-
Yeah, so that was really the best I could do here :lol
That was pretty bad. :lol
:metal :metal :metal Wow, that was unsuspected. I like that song but I would never have sent it in a roulette if it weren't for lack of other good "right" songs. And then I feared it would be rejected, because how could you not have Sammy on your banned list.
No shit was it unexpected.
I'm just not a big Sammy guy. I know basically none of his solo material. It was a great song.
I thought for sure Stadler sent it. :lol I would've been thrilled for him for doing all of this hard work. If he sent what I think he sent, I think he should do OK next round.
Speaking of Stadler, his weekend at the spa wasn't a complete waste of time. Seems he had some work done. Apparently watching KISS videos between Trump posts! What do you guys think? Not bad..

Who is the actual chick in that pic?
Also, the Pretty Maids song isn't one of their best Tim and I can see why you would think they are quite underwhelming. Although their last few albums have been really strong and worth a listen. Everything from Pandemonium forward is great, especially Pandemonium.
-
That's Stadler of course! ;)
Every time I've dropped the needle on Pretty Maids, they've never blown me away. Again it's a "Too many bands..." situation.
-

I'll check it tonight, bro.
Finishing the Wrong Writeups tonight as well.

I guess it's for the best
By the way, TAC, I'm going on vacation starting Friday. So I will send to Stadler for rounds 4 and 5 tonight.

When does Pandemonium get good? I'm 5 songs through. The title track is really good, then the next two songs blow. I.N.V.U.? ...W.T.F?
One World One Truth is passable, but The Final Day Of Innocence knocked me off the train. Oh well..
-
I put my letter to your secretary for round 4 in the email post and he should have it... well right about now.
-
Awesome. I'm gonna post the WRONGsults tomorrow afternoon. Gonna have a busy weekend at work, so hopefully I can get some new music tomorrow night and start listening.
-
Good to see Gilmour scoring well.
For the wrong round, I pretty much had only one song to send, and I'm quite sure it won't go that well. :lol
-
Stadler's hot. I never thought I'd type those words but here we are.
They're real, and they're magnificent.
-
Sent something for round 4.
-
Someone is using Sonata Arctica again for the Moon round, right? Because I don't want to bother to change the songs I sent.
-
I certainly hope not. They have wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better songs than that.
-
Than Full Moon? Wrong, so wrong. Full Moon is top tier power metal :metal
-
Someone is using my favored moon song and I think it's evermind.
-
Stads didn't yell back at me so I assume my preferred sun and moon songs are good to go
I don't even know if TAC will like one of them but I have high hopes for the other and I can see TAC liking both anyways
-
Just got home. Have half of the writups to finish, which obviously shouldn't take too long!
Have to get the results in to Stads before quitting time!

Yeah that was mine. I think it can go either way from your end and I'm a VERY casual Devin and SYL fan but I like quite a bit of what Devin did with SYL. That song in particular is a fav of mine. Wonderful guitar work with some brutal stuff but great clean melodies too. I wouldn't be surprised if you hated it though.
-
I haven't gotten the results back, but they are submitted. So yes, it's OK to confirm my guesses.
If you didn't send At Vance, then I would probably guess Evermind. I really didn't have a song for him.

Well Tim. You may be right, you may be wrong.
I may be crazy.

Wrong for mine. :) Which is (maybe?) good since Royal Hunt didn't do so well in the right round. Of course what I did send might not have done so well either...
-
Oh I think you've got me pegged as the wrong man
Is what I'd say but you're right :tup
Btw even if you don't like that white walls song it's not one of the best on the album and you'd maybe still like the rest more

Did you not see my 28 year old concert picture on the last page? Of course I know them. I saw them twice in 1991. I bought Facelift when it came out. I loved We Die Young and bought the album after hearing the song. It's a good album, and it reminded me of Armored Saint, but not as good.
I never followed them after that. I did buy their Unplugged album and promptly sold it. I did not know the song submitted so I allowed it.
-
Awesome. I'm gonna post the WRONGsults tomorrow afternoon. Gonna have a busy weekend at work, so hopefully I can get some new music tomorrow night and start listening.
:corn

They have been submitted. Stadler is not online tonight (NO WORRIES STADS!).
I am working tomorrow and have the drafts ready in my PM's. Once I get the matches, I should be able to post from work on my phone in the morning.

Or we could just confirm what we sent for you now... ?
I sent Samson (out of desperation).

You should change that. "Dream Weaver" is the big hit, but "Love Is Alive" is just as good.

Sorry! The girls in the steno pool went out for mojitos, and we got carried away!
All in, for now.
Almost sent that Alice song even though I know it was a risky pick. Thought about a two-fer with "Right Turn" and "Got Me Wrong", but I'm to understand Chris Cornell is not welcome here, and he has a solo spot on Right Turn. Unfortunately, both pale in comparison to "Brother", where Ann Wilson just elevates the whole shooting match to another plane entirely.

WRONGsults!
12. Puppies On Acid....At Vance-Right Or Wrong
"Yeah, I think this person knows me pretty well."
I knew as soon as this started, it'd do pretty well. In the wheelhouse for sure. I have never really given At Vance an honest chance. It's more of a "Too many bands..." kind of thing. I'm going to follow up with them for sure, based on this.
11. Parama....White Walls-World Gone Wrong
"I had no idea what to expect from this, but it was very cool."
Now this tune is cool. Lots of influences. Love the old school vibe it starts with. It gets modern and even has some harsh vocals which I don't even mind. This song packs a ton of shit in and was easily the most interesting song of the round. I am definitely checking this album out.
10. Lethean...Samson-Wrong Side Of Time
"This got in the back door too. I liked it. Wait, wut?"
Obviously, I've heard of Samson, but only the Dickinson albums. I have actually never heard this before. I love this old school vibe on this. It really reminds my of becoming a music fan in the first lace. Like early UFO or Scorpions.So simple, but effective.
9. Indiscipline...Gary Wright-The Wrong Time
"How old do you think I am?"
Similar to what I said about the Samson tune. These songs were really close. I think I preferred the NWOBHM vibe over the true 70's rock vibe. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I enjoyed this song immensely. I had no idea what to expect here.
8. Stadler... Oasis-Where Did It All Go Wrong
"Dude, you're killing me. Still, this was better than I expected. Don't get your hopes up just yet, though."
When I saw Oasis come in, I eyerolled this big time. This wasn't at all what I expected. I've never heard an Oasis song in my life. But I found this very soulful and engaging. This was quite surprising. The guitar was simple but very effective. I liked this.
7. Wolfking...Strapping Young Lad-Wrong Side
"This was risky."
OK, now this was metal! This was risky considering the beatdown Devin took in the first round. But this lasts only 1/3 as long and is much better than Devin sounding like a douche. I really appreciate his talent. Not unlike many artists, I'd probably find a lot of landmines throughout his catalog, but I'm sure there's a ton of tunes I'd like. This kicked ass.
6. Kingshmegland..,Toad The Wet Sprocket-Something's Always Wrong
"Well, there's no way I could call that unpleasant."
Very nice tune. Sometmes I think it takes balls to send something so mainstream and understated in a roulette full of songs trying to stick out. Unfortunately mainstream is just that. Average. Enjoyable, but average.
5. Kattelox... Skyclad-The Wrong Song
"I've never heard this band before, and I was expecting something a bit more powerful. This was kind of disappointing."
This is a quirky little tune. Even though it didn't score all that well, I liked it a lot more at the end of the round than I did at the beginning.
4. Evermind...Royal Hunt-So Right So Wrong
"Vanilla Bean. Too long for what it is."
ESPN Sportscenter goes Power Metal. I can't believe I had to endure this song twice.
3. Kwyjibo...Alice In Chains-Got Me Wrong
"I'm not unfamiliar with this band. Not really a fan when they play in this style though."
I'm no stranger to AiC, and they've never been able to stick with me. The reason is songs like this. I really don't get this. I do love the fact that I can hear the bass. Unfortunately I can hear the vocals and guitar..
2. Elite...Sublime-Wrong Way
"I had no idea what to expect from this, but it certainly wasn't that."
This is a strange song.
1. Senecadawg2...David Gray-What Am I Doing Wrong
"Not sure... We'll see, but this has lower rankings written all over it."
What are you doing wrong? Singing. That's what you're doing wrong.
-
I’ll update scores/Standings at lunch.
-
Who would have guessed that Parama and I would be the top two spots for results for this round (or any round for that matter) :lol
When you dig in to At Vance some more, definitely give the rest of that album a listen (The Evil In You) and the album Only Human.
-
aww yeah i got a score :metal
the whole white walls album is pretty good, like i said i don't even consider that one of the better songs on the album at least compared to the best stuff there
elite is responsible for giving that one to me so woops :P
as stated round 4 is already sent and it's sure moonly sunnish alright
-
And now watch me blow it all up with the wrong song (pun intended).
Called it :biggrin: and I thought that you'd hate it, but there was only one other option and that was Filter - The Only Way Is The Wrong Way and you would have hated that more than AiC.
-
Who would have guessed that Parama and I would be the top two spots for results for this round (or any round for that matter) :lol
Probably why it was called the WRONG Round. :neverusethis:
-
A bit disappointing; I was hoping that song would rank at least a few spots higher. Oh well! I think I'll do much better in the next round. I need to get 1st place at least once!
-
aww yeah i got a score :metal

And you beat me to it, because I sent the exact same song.
-
Wait, TAC, you've never heard Wonderwall?
-
A bit disappointing; I was hoping that song would rank at least a few spots higher. Oh well! I think I'll do much better in the next round. I need to get 1st place at least once!
Honestly like I said, that song and it’s quirkinesses really grew on me, but I just couldn’t score it higher than what was above it.
And No, I don’t know Wonderwall.
-
I thought I present the scores to my PMs. I didn’t. I’ll do them tonight.
-
I have the correct score sheet. K-LOX gets a 12 on both songs. Wow!
-
Lol. I figured I'd be in trouble. Not a lot of songs to pick that Tim didn't hear and also in the style he loves.
-
It’s funny but when I put the list together I never dreamed that songs would be tough to find. I figured these were everyday words.
Anyway, I expect the bellyaching to end and the quality to ramp up here in the next few rounds. ;D
-
I broke even this round. Unlucky with the right songs - both Tool and Anathema did way better than Royal Hunt. But I was lucky in the wrong round, because I first tried to send AiC.
-
That was a huge stroke of luck.
-
1. Senecadawg2...David Gray-What Am I Doing Wrong
What are you doing wrong? Singing. That's what you're doing wrong.
:rollin :rollin :rollin
Figured Royal Hunt won't do that well after the Right results, oh well. Still 6.5 though, not that bad, and hopefully next round will prove to be more successful for me.

There's probably not a lot you'll find that you like, a lot of their stuff is pretty fucking extreme, but some cool stuff nevertheless. THey are more of a band for me that you can't listen to a lot of at once.

I'm usually a procrastinator with roulette submissions as a lot of you know, but these type of themes are really working for me. Just limits your choices down and just makes you go with what you have and really makes you send stuff that you normally wouldn't.

Same. I look up a list of potential candidates, immediately boil it down to a small selection, and go from there. Easiest roulette ever and I like that. Choice paralysis is a real thing, folks!

-
I took some BIG risks this round, but I literally took 5 minutes to pick 2 songs.
-
Your’s were easy to spot! ;D
-
It was the easiest for me too, until I had no right songs left and had to go searching through the metal archives for one. :P
But from here on out I should have enough choices to send songs I at least know. :)
-
Your’s were easy to spot! ;D
Yeah, cause they are so fucking awesome!
-
Just so I'm clear, Sonata Arctica is banned right? Or not? Did someone send Full Moon this round? I hope TAC likes it so I'm not wasting time sending White Pearl Black Oceans. I might send it anyway just because I feel that strong about it. :lol

I thought TAC had a list of bands that were eligible for retries but I wasn't sure if Sonata made the cut. I sent IHAR but it tanked :lol They're not on the list so I wanted to be sure. I suppose we'll find out if someone sent Full Moon this round!
-
Now I don't feel so bad for asking this question a few pages ago. :P
(You can reuse bands that score less than 5)
Also, isn't this supposed to be anonymous? :P
-
Yeah saying what you plan to send should disqualify you from sending that imo :corn :metal :corn
-
Anonymity!!!!!
Any band that scores less than 5 can be sent again.
So if a band scores a 1, 2, 3, or 4 it can be used again.
Your’s were easy to spot! ;D
Yeah, cause they are so fucking awesome!
:lol
We’ll see.
Yeah saying what you plan to send should disqualify you from sending that imo :corn :metal :corn
Yes it should.

Someone send maudlin of the Well or Kayo Dot again :corn
-
Why? There's like a collective three good songs across Bath and Leaving Your Body Map and I've listened to one of the Kayo Dot albums before and it really blew
They suck, is the point :corn

Man everyone knows I'd send Sonata Arctica anyway. :rollin
No, I actually have other ideas in mind... WPBO is too sugary for TAC.

First Listen Impressions:
"It was OK. Gonna need some more listens."
"Excellent"
"Geez, I got up and grabbed a beer and this song was still playing!"
"This was better. A bit too long though."
"Not sure this will stick out. You're likely to be disappointed with its score."
"I'm sure it was pure coincidence that I am listening to this at the same time I take my insulin each night."
"This is fucking cool."
"This was..um..solid."
"This is a strong tune. I can see why you sent it."
"Best George Thorogood song he never released."
"Not sure this will stick out. You're likely to be disappointed with its score."
"Holy motherfucker! What in the fuck? I like it!"
And yes, I'm aware the same comment is listed twice. Two songs deserve it.

Nvm, just realized I may give away what song I sent. I'll ask later.

TAC, how would Into the Sun by Vanden Plas have done if not banned? Not necessarily against the other songs, just curious how you like that one.
-
Not sure. I have both of the Chronicles Of The Immortals on my iPod, and I think I have a copy of Christ O around here.
Honestly, I'd have to hear the song because I have no memory of it by name.
I would generally say that I find Vanden Plas extremely underwhelming.
-
Just finished the first listen. I'll post impressions later tonight.
Suffice to say that this was EASILY the BEST round so far. EASILY.
I know what's coming in last, but other than that, this will be very tough to score. It's the longest round so far as well. 80 minutes.
The Moon songs should be easier to grade out, but this round will take some extra listens.
Of the 12 songs, I feel like there's five 9's, six 8.5's, and a 7.

That'll be the Norwegian Bear himself, Mr. Jorn Lande. Fucking TUNE that song is. High five to the sender. Bet it's wolfking. No confirmations, but that's my guess. :2metal:
Also I'd totally send Elton John before that annoying af Animals song! Although it is one of the only songs I can play on guitar. :lol

First Listen Impressions:
"Unimpressive, as expected."
"Yeah, this was pretty damn good. I was expecting the worst."
"I feel like this will need more listens. I did like it, though."
"Very cool, man. For the most part, anyway."
"No idea what to expect on this one. Really cool musically."
"Much better than expected. Not sure how it's going to score though."
"As expected. Pretty solid"
"I'm on record as not being a fan, but this was......awesome!"
"Nice. This hits the spot."
"I'm glad someone sent this band. I liked it the more it went on. "
"Sometimes if an obvious band is not banned, it's because I actually don't like them."
"Much better, thank you."
-
the 7 is Katatonia also
two of those sound pretty negative even though you said there was only one song you didn't like much :P
-
the 7 is Katatonia also
It is not..
Not sure how it'll translate scorewise, but it was a much better song than the previous two. Hence;
"Much better, thank you."
-
"Sometimes if an obvious band is not banned, it's because I actually don't like them."
I'm guessing Yes for this one.

sent my round 5 early since all the songs for this one are revealed :corn
there's a band on the iPod list that isn't bolded but i assume if you know them you'd know the album i was sending off of anyways so i didn't bother sending them, i like my pick for what i sent instead better anyways
for those playing along in my roulette i have one writeup to do and i'll do it tomorrow morning shut up i'm tired it's been a long week :tup

Nevermind! :)

@Puppies there's one artist for this round that i really expect you to send and I intentionally avoided cockblocking you on 'em so i better not be wrong :P
(granted i like what i sent more anyways, personally, so it wasn't a hard decision to make)
-
Ten bucks on at least three people sending the same "welcoming" song in the next round.
-
Sent some
Winger Nickelback 90s Nu Metal stuff TAC probably won't like, cause I'm away for most of next week and don't know if I have internet access when I need it.

Kwjjibo, you might want to send Stadler back ups just in case one is needed and you can’t be reached.
-
I've sent him two black and two white songs, just in case. Could send some more black songs, but if both white songs are not usable I'm fucked anyway, because then I could only sent Marillion. :eek
-

Ok. Perfect. We would never want it to come down to Marillion! :lol

Yes Stadler. We’re all up to date. Thank you!!!!!

I have three of their 80’s albums.
Script is awesome!!!
Misplaced I have no opinion of.
Straws blows.
Anything else by them would be fair game.

Have you seen my score? It's part of the roulette really. Basically all songs that got scored were not my first choices to send. I think it's not really cool to send stuff ahead of time, especially since bands can get banned when someone else sends them a) first or b) in an earlier round.
-
I agree tbh
-

I had the impression that Marillion was a no go for you, okay I'm partly wrong, but my third and last song with white in the title would be White Russian and that's from Clutching At Straws.
-
Do you have a fourth choice? :lol
-
So here's my take on sending early...
I do it. So I'm OK with it. Everyone had the themes in the OP. If you think you have a song that fits a theme, by all means, get it in. With people literally all over the world in this, it's not fair to wait to send until I post results when Kwyjibo is sleeping, but Puppies is online.
We are in Round 4. If say..Parama sends something early for Round 7, but Elite sends it in Round 6, Elite trumps and Parama has to resend.
-
A freaking ton of good stuff on both sides. I going through the MOON songs for a second time, and there's going to be some tough choices here, with even tougher ones for the SUN songs.
Because of the Stacking, some very good songs will likely not get the scores they anticipated.
-
We are in Round 4. If say..Parama sends something early for Round 7, but Elite sends it in Round 6, Elite trumps and Parama has to resend.
yeah i mean obviously since i'm sending it to stadler i would assume he won't send it along to you just yet anyways, until after the previous round is done

Since no cuts are taking place, it's good enough for me that you enjoy something new you hadn't heard before, regardless of the score it gets.
-
Yeah, Pup, I am personally dead set against cuts. That is my first rule of hosting a roulette.
What kind of party host am I if I throw three people out at 8pm, three more at 9pm, etc...
We are in Round 4. If say..Parama sends something early for Round 7, but Elite sends it in Round 6, Elite trumps and Parama has to resend.

Right, Stadler is sending me nothing early. I've been basically getting the songs in two batch groupings which is good.
And by sending early, you are reserving a band for a future round, which is moot should someone send it in a preceeding round. But it's cool. Especially with themes, I, too, like to send early.
-
Since no cuts are taking place, it's good enough for me that you enjoy something new you hadn't heard before, regardless of the score it gets.
I totally appreciate that.
-

I mean to me that's the spirit of roulettes. The only reason I had cuts in my roulette was because I knew I might get burnt out on listening to 12 albums constantly every week. If I had to run another roulette it would probably be similar to Parama's current roulette. Fewer rounds and fewer people.
-
it'd be completely infeasible for me to do 10-12 EPs every round and anyways i don't think cumulative scoring with a total of 4 rounds is a very smart idea tbh :lol

12 albums in one go would be brutal.
Last year when thinking about doing my 3rd roulette, I was stumped on how to do it. I definitely wanted to do an EP roulette. I even PM'd J Boy and Kingshmegland to bounce some ideas off of them.
My thought was of having 2 divisions of 6 people each for 3 rounds, and then the Top 3 in each division would advance for the final three rounds.
But I was having trouble figuring out how to do it. Like what are the 2nd 6 people doing while I listened to the first 6. It didn't make any sense. :lol
-
On my 3rd listen to the MOON songs. Starting to scratch out some rankings. Some really tight calls.

the other 6 are working on their EPs

Yeah, I suppose that'd be true.

It's fun but we would all need to be patient. I know Rich ran one but he had to listen to them all 24/7 with a newborn. Very tough.
-
yeah i'm not doing an album roulette again, it's way too time-consuming to try and keep up with augh
-
Just finished the MOON writeups. The top 6 were easy to slot, but the bottom 6 are pretty tough. Some good songs getting jobbed here.
It's gonna be worse next round.
I have to loosen a couple of logjams, but the MOON results will be posted tomorrow when I get home from work.
-
:corn
on that note i guess i should post my results now
-
Pretty sure this will be the MOON rankings by First Impression:
"This is fucking cool."
"Excellent"
"Best George Thorogood song he never released."
"This is a strong tune. I can see why you sent it."
"I'm sure it was pure coincidence that I am listening to this at the same time I take my insulin each night."
"This was better. A bit too long though."
"Not sure this will stick out. You're likely to be disappointed with its score."
"This was..um..solid."
"Holy motherfucker! What in the fuck? I like it!"
"Geez, I got up and grabbed a beer and this song was still playing!"
"Not sure this will stick out. You're likely to be disappointed with its score."
"It was OK. Gonna need some more listens."
-
"It was OK. Gonna need some more listens."
:metal :metal :metal
-
"It was OK. Gonna need some more listens."

Maybe this is the round I get my first place score. :corn
-
There is no way you sent the first place song. No way!
-
confirmed: first place has growls
-
There is no way you sent the first place song. No way!
Well fuck, it was fun while it lasted :lol
-
:lol
-
Pretty sure I know which one is mine and I could totally live with that score. :metal
-
Mine's definitely the beer grabbing one. Cheers.
-
I’d be surprised. That’s not the one I have you down for.
Gonna pass the results on to Stadler at lunch time. Last time I waited, he was out having mojitos.
-
I think I'll be disappointed in the score. Was torn between two songs to send, picked one, but the hangman featured the other one. :lol So after a chat with Stadler, I decided to go with the one Tim included in the hangman.

Yeah, my bad for not listing them in the banned list. I thought for sure I had them on my iPod.
I have three of their albums and coincidentally, that song was on an early version of my Indiscipline EP.
-
Oh, so they were banned in the end. I feel better about my score already.
-
Pass the results on to me so I can verify that my song did well before giving them the OK :biggrin:
-

I wouldn’t go that far. :lol

Just for everyone's benefit, there will be cake in the breakroom at noon, and we're cleaning out the fridge at 5:00 and if your tupperware is in there, it's going to get tossed!

Turns out my trip is cancelled, so I could join the party. But only if there's vegan beer.

results when grandpappy?
Just sent them.
-
Here are my guesses.
Asia- Stadler
The Firm-Indiscipline
Last Tribe-Evermind
Parius- Parama
Leprous- Elite
Star One- Kingshmegland
Dark Moor- Lethean
In Flames-Wolfking
Joe Satriani- Kwyjibo
Nevermore- Puppies
Kardashev- Seneca (or Puppies)
Rhapsody Of Fire- Kattelox
-
Yay on me, capn
-
You're god damn right.
-
Swing and a miss.
-
Oh Last Tribe had to have been wolfking, c'mon. I'll eat my boots if it wasn't him. :lol
-
Correct on mine. If anyone's curious, the other (banned) song was Pantommind - Moon Horizon.
Oh Last Tribe had to have been wolfking, c'mon. I'll eat my boots if it wasn't him. :lol
:corn
-
Also I know for sure Kardashev is puppies, definitely not a Seneca band :rollin
-

So the entire round, I was thinking that was Puppies.
-
Correct on mine. If anyone's curious, the other (banned) song was Pantommind - Moon Horizon.
Oh Last Tribe had to have been wolfking, c'mon. I'll eat my boots if it wasn't him. :lol
:corn
I hope Kattelox is hungry...
Wrong guess for mine, btw.
-
Mine is correct but I was sure Evermind sent Star One. So someone else was faster than me.
-
There is some very very fine print under that statement clarifying that is a non-binding expression and that I also lack the suitable equipment required for frying work boots.
If Lethean sent Last Tribe I would be gobsmacked. :lol
-
Star One was my #3 choice, I'm not crazy about this particular song.
In fact, Leprous, Sonata Arctica and Casualties of Cool are probably my favourite moon songs that weren't banned, but I thought someone else were going to send Sonata, I didn't want to try Leprous with Tim and I don't think this side of Devin would go great with him, so yeah. Prepared to enjoy my 2.
If Lethean sent Last Tribe I would be gobsmacked. :lol
Nah, I sent it.
edit: just realized Kamelot - Moonlight apparently wasn't banned, oh well.
-
There’s a reason Kamelot isn’t banned. ;D
Swing and a miss.
Other than maybe Asia, I figured you might be Chad inspired.
-
The Casualties song is really dang good and I might have sent it if I didn't already have both a good Moon and a good Black song lined up I have more confidence in
-
I mean, if I'm getting a low score anyway, I would've rather gotten it with Kamelot than Last Tribe, but too late now. :)
-
Just save Memento Mori for the death round
-
For the record, the Asia that was sent doesn't exist in my world. In my existence, there is Asia with John Wetton, and there's this group of poseurs and pretenders that used the name.
-
Just got the results back. Apparently another Mojito Monday! ;D
Even my secretary was questioning my rankings!

I totally agree, but for the record, the original Asia doesn't exist in my world. ;D
Chris Slade played on two songs this round. But he is no Carl Palmer, not that you'd ever know that by listening to Palmer era Asia.
-

My man. :tup

So does that mean Stadler sent... hmm. The Firm?
-
MOONsults
12. Parama...Parius - Crashing Black Moon
"This is fucking cool."
I think right off the bat, I knew this would win the round. It's pretty intense, and has this really cool interlude before it gets intense again. It has a great last 90 seconds that seals the deal. I'm gonna check this album out between rounds. I have no idea what to expect though.
11. Wolfking...In Flames - Moonshield
"Excellent"
Really happy with this one. I sampled In Flames back in the early 00's. I just remember their vocals being unlistenable. I see this is from an even earlier album. These vocals are doable. Musically it hits the spot. Weird but I could totally see Dave Murray playing this.
Really enjoyed this.
10. Kwyjibo...Joe Satriani - Big Bad Moon
"Best George Thorogood song he never released."
I'll be honest, this was the biggest surprise. I don't know very much Satriani. My ears sometimes glaze over on guitar hero instrumentals. But this song had vocals. But it also has Satriani ripping to shreds guitar playing. Love how the verses set up the ridiculous guitar lines.
9. Elite...Nevermore - Moonrise
"This is a strong tune. I can see why you sent it."
So....I actually have this album. I allowed this because I bought the album when it came out, and I literally haven't listened since the first and only listen. So this is basically new to me.
I'm gonna revisit this album. This is a great tune. The vocals remind me a bit of Blaze Bayley. I knew this would be top half of the round right off.
8. Kattelox...Rhapsody Of Fire - Age Of The Red Moon
"I'm sure it was pure coincidence that I am listening to this at the same time I take my insulin each night."
I expected this to be cheesy, but it's not at all. This song kicks ass. Reminds me of Fabio's work on Vision Divine's Destination. Love the energy throughout this song. Great playing and this really hits the spot. I feel like every time I've dropped the needle on RoF, I was far from impressed. But this song totally works.
7. Kingshmegland...Asia - Blue Moon Monday
"This was better. A bit too long though."
I liked this so much more than the other Asia songs I got earlier. I feel like this one actually had a purpose. Kind of odd that it's still called Asia with just the original keyboard player left. This has a really cool Pink Floyd vibe that really grew on me as the round went on. This really grew in me.
6. Stadler...The Firm - Midnight Moonlight
"Not sure this will stick out. You're likely to be disappointed with its score."
Been over 30 years since I've heard this tune. I was worried when I saw it come in. Yet I really enjoyed this. It was so chill in this otherwise very upbeat round. This song is very subtle, but it is so comforting. My memory is that The Firm blew, but this is a powerful and soulful song.
5. Evermind...Last Tribe - Full Moon
"This was..um..solid."
This was a good track that I think has trouble standing out here. I definitely liked it and the score does not do my enjoyment of this justice. I just feel like it had a hard time standing out, and ultimately the chorus dragged this down.
4. Puppies On Acid...Kardashev - Beyond Sun And Moon
"Holy motherfucker! What in the fuck? I like it!"
Oh Boy..The first half of this song is like a two minute car accident. I liked it on first listen, but with each subsequent listen, I couldn't wait to get to the second half of the song, which was quite enjoyable.
3. Indiscipline...Dark Moor - The Moon
"Geez, I got up and grabbed a beer and this song was still playing!"
I don't know that I'm in love with the blatant Beethoven part. But other than that, this reminded me a lot of Heavenly, and band that I am a huge fan of their first three albums. So while I love that style, the symphonic elements bring this down. But this song, while too long, was certainly a pleasant journey.
2. Lethean...Star One - High Moon
"Not sure this will stick out. You're likely to be disappointed with its score."
I think the problem I had here is that this is a victim of stiff competition. Nothing in this song really stood out. I hear Damian Wilson and Russel Allen, but I'm not a huge fan of either of them. To overcome that, the music had to offer a lot more. I will say that I loved the Zero The Hero riff after the chorus.
1. Senecadawg2...Leprous - Moon
"It was OK. Gonna need some more listens."
I think most of you will be shocked by this, but I have to be honest, I enjoyed every other song in this round more than this one. Another band I've dropped the needle on, but I just don't connect with Leprous at all, I guess. Parama ghost sent me a tune a couple of rounds ago that was really good, but for me, they just don't work. This song really isn't that bad, but the competition has increased in this round.
-
I ...got .. a nine!? :eek
:victorydance:
-
I'm as shocked as you are! :lol
-
Dang, whoever sniped me on White for the next round - damn you! Tall Poppy Syndrome Leprous is the kind I figure is most up TAC's alley :getoffmylawn:
Ahh well I sent a good song too that TAC will hate
Also hell yeah knew you'd dig Parius
The rest of the album isn't as good IMO but it's basically in line with that song
-
I must be the secretary for Don Draper. John Fucking Payne scored higher than Jimmy Page and Paul Rodgers combined. :)
I'm kidding. Though I am surprised by the Star One; not that I disagree with it but I would've thought that was a slam dunk. I even checked the list as I assumed it was already banned.
-
If I was giving actual scores, The Firm and Asia would've been tied. But I had to make a decision for the stack. I really went back and forth.
Frankly, I'm surprised I enjoyed The Firm as much as I did.
When I was writing the OP, I distinctly remember thinking that some wanker is going to send me Midnight Moonlight for one of the rounds. I even almost posted in the OP that I better not get it. :lol
You might remember in my PM back to you that I made a comment about The Firm.
Honestly, that's the only song that I remember being decent by them. I thought they really did blow. I actually had tix to see them twice and never made it. I think they cancelled in '85, and the following year, they were coming to Providence on a Friday night. Except I can home way too late from the Aerosmith show three nights earlier, and my father told me I couldn't go to The Firm.
As far as the Asia, I enjoyed it. Reminded me a bit of Pink Floyd. Yeah, it's not the classic lineup, and I can't believe they even called themselves Asia. But I consider "classic" Asia to be one of the all time biggest musical wastes of time.
-
Nice :metal :biggrin:
Flying In A Blue Dream is the only Satriani record with vocals. And on most songs they don't work, because Satch isn't really a good singer. But this one song just totally rocks and his vocal lines lay the ground for some ripping guitar solos.
Good thing that Lethean sent that Star One song first, that would have been my choice. And seriously that song should be much higher. :o ::) :laugh:

Correct on mine. If anyone's curious, the other (banned) song was Pantommind - Moon Horizon.
Yeah, that was my bad.
Indiscipline, check this song out. It's pretty cool. It was on an early draft for your EP round. Actually, I cut it fairly late I the process.
-
"Take that 3, Beethoven, you deaf bastard!!!"
I'm actually relieved, I was doing too well for my standars. :D
I dig that Pantommind song. Excellent singer, nice Awake keyboards.
-
The blows dont stop.
-
"Take that 3, Beethoven, you deaf bastard!!!"
I'm not a big symphonic metal guy. At all. And the Beethoven thing was way overkill.
But I liked the power metal stuff in it, and as I said, it reminded me of Heavenly, who I love their first three albums.
-

You're having a tough go. I'm sorry man. I know Leprous is really popular with the kids and all, but I just don't get them. You need to pull an Elite, because he got himself right back in this.

I have a clear Number #1, and a clear bottom 2, but that's it. I got home at 2:30 and have listened to the playlist three times today/tonight. That's 80m X 3. Still have no idea how this will shake out.

Hey, I love power metal. But I'm also super picky about it. I just don't think Heavenly is very interesting. I tried getting into Dust To Dust even back in my heyday of listening to nothing but power metal and still couldn't find anything that was interesting. The singer isn't very interesting to me, and I don't recall any cool piano or synth bits. Generally speaking, if a metal band doesn't have kickass keyboards or vocals I love (especially vocals, those are make or break), I'm not gonna dig it. Generally.

Except for the last part (because I'm hampered by having seen the Payne-Asia live and it was worse than Wang Chung, which is saying something) I can't argue with that. For what The Firm SHOULD have been it's woefully disappointing. Sad day when my favorite song from that band is a live b-side that was never released on CD (their version of the Paul Rodgers song "Live In Peace").

Not at all captain
First time you got me wrong I think :metal
-
Results are back. Seems I got 6 straight up.
And I mixed Pup and Parama; and I mixed Kwyjibo and Kingshmegland.
And @Wolfking..I was way off on you. I'm embarrassed. I thought for sure you sent Dan Swano and considered Vanishing Point.
-
I think I even commented about the specific BTBAM song somewhere back in the thread :metal
Didn't want to wait to get sniped on white walls (and anyways I already sent white walls :neverusethis:) so here we are
The Great Misdirect is the better album tho and technically I could've sent swim to the moon but it's way long and my least favorite on the album anyways so
-
Yup, I'm the Jornsender.
-
Bolded the correct ones. 250 TAC Points!
Not sure if a single one of these are right 'cause I don't know every song, but, hey:
"Unimpressive, as expected."
Behemoth- O Father O Satan O Sun
"Yeah, this was pretty damn good. I was expecting the worst."
Sevendust-Blackout The Sun
"I feel like this will need more listens. I did like it, though."
Perihelion Ship-New Sun
"Very cool, man. For the most part, anyway."
Jorn-Sunset Station
"No idea what to expect on this one. Really cool musically."
Pillorian - By the Light of a Black Sun
"Much better than expected. Not sure how it's going to score though."
Dan Swano-Sun Of The Night
"As expected. Pretty solid"
Vanishing Point-Distant Is The Sun
"I'm on record as not being a fan, but this was......awesome!"
Between The Buried And Me-Sun Of Nothing
"Nice. This hits the spot."
Age Of Artemis-Under The Sun
"I'm glad someone sent this band. I liked it the more it went on. "
Down-Three Suns And One Star
"Sometimes if an obvious band is not banned, it's because I actually don't like them."
Yes- Heart Of The Sunrise
"Much better, thank you."
Katatonia-Ghost Of The Sun
-
Pretty sure mine is "glad someone sent this band" :corn
Mostly because I think the first bits of the song would be the hardest sell for you but pretty much the entire back half feels more up your alley

SUNsults
12. Elite...Perihelion Ship - New Sun/New Sun?
"I feel like this will need more listens. I did like it, though."
So there was some confusion on my part. Apparently the song submitted was New Sun with a "?". Unfortunately when I went on Spotify, I saw New Sun without the "?" and pout that in the playlist. I was corrected, but I felt bad because New Sun was the instant Round winner. But I checked out New Sun? and guess what...that wins the round too! I honestly couldn;t decide which one I liked better, but each of them, on their own, wins the round.
This album is on the list! Fantastic stuff.
11. Kattelox...Jorn - Sunset Station
"I'm on record as not being a fan, but this was......awesome!"
Wow, I really enjoyed this. And I am not a Jorn fan. But this song rocked and had a great pace. He really does have a great voice. Sometimes I feel like he's cursed because he really does sound like so many classic vocalists, conjuring David Coverdale and Paul Rodgers here. Maybe I'm too rough on him. I've always felt that he tries to hard to sound like certain people. Maybe it's not his fault.
10. Senecadawg2...Dan Swano - Sun Of The Night
"No idea what to expect on this one. Really cool musically."
I liked this song. Love the keyboards on this, and all of the instrumentation. I also like how the vocals didn't feel like a car accident. They were harsh, but not too harsh if you know what I mean. Not much else to say, but this song kicked ass.
9. Puppies On Acid...Pillorian - By The Light Of A Black Sun
"Very cool, man. For the most part, anyway."
Wow, there's a lot to chew on here. It's not that I didn't like it, which I did. It's just that I'm not sure it was nearly as pleasurable to listen to as a number of other songs in this round.
8. Evermind...Vanishing Point - Distant Is The Sun
"As expected. Pretty solid"
This song is really easy on the ears. I like the melodic chorus. It's pretty straight forward when compared to a lot of other songs here. A song like this can be hit and miss. But this one hits. When I compare it to the Age Of Artemis, I find the vocals on this so much better. Overall, it's a very solid song, and I mean that in a good way.
7. Kwyjibo...Down - Three Suns And One Star
"Much better than expected. Not sure how it's going to score though."
This song was a pleasant surprise. I honestly don't know the first thing about Down, but in my mind, I link them with the 90's-00's bands. Not sure if that's even fair. This song oozes Black Sabbath. There's a point at about the 2:52 mark where this mad Iommi riff comes in and totally changes the pace of the song. Very cool.
6. Stadler...Yes - Heart Of The Sunrise
"Sometimes if an obvious band is not banned, it's because I actually don't like them."
So ...Yes...where do I start? I have this song on the DT Uncovered CD. Apparently that's not the full version. This one has the fairy imp singing. The reason I like this is because I can clearly hear the old school drums and bass.
But my problem with yes is that I'm a metal guy and ...they are not. The musicianship is top notch, but the vocals and overall lack of heaviness will always drag them down for me.
5. Parama...Between The Buried And Me - Sun Of Nothing
"I'm glad someone sent this band. I liked it the more it went on. "
This song as a whole is a bit much to digest. I could honestly skip the first 5 minutes of this. Kind of like Kardashev in the last group. Love the mellow part around 8:00 mins in, and the outro is great. I would've loved to have heard a lot more of that kind of instrumentation rather than the onslaught of vocals.
4. Lethean...Katatonia - Ghost Of The Sun
"Much better, thank you."
This was miles better than the first two Katatonia songs I recieved. I really liked it until I got to the chorus. Honetly, I found it kind of off putting with the F bombs. Though musically, the chorus lets the song down too. But there's enough here to give them an honest shot post roulette.
3. Indiscipline...Age of Artemis - Under The Sun
"Nice. This hits the spot."
So this song had a lot in common stylistically with the Vanishing Point. But this song ultimately lacked the hook and the vocals weren't as strong. The breakdown and solo were ripping. I did like this song, but I think this will be buried by some of the competition. I'd check out more from this band though.
2. Wolfking...Behemoth - O Father O Satan O Sun
"Yeah, this was pretty damn good. I was expecting the worst."
So it's not that I didn't like this song, because I definitely did. But it reallt seemed kind of one dimensional. I was waiting for some really cool musical interlude to step in. Unfortunately the spoken word part at the end, while cool, wasn't nearly enough to really lift this song.
1. Kingshmegland...Sevendust-Blackout The Sun
"Unimpressive, as expected."
Cool ending, bro.
-
What's weird with the Moon and Sun songs is that my First Listen impressions don't really jive with the final standings.

I fully expected that. I think I've pinpointed the type of growls you like Tim and I knew this wouldn't be one. We are very similar in the growls we go for it seems. Behemoth though especially that album The Satanist is something I normally wouldn't go, but for some reason I fucking love. One of the more extreme bands I like, which is rare.

I didn't. I had you with Dan Swano from the start. I was SHOCKED when Stadler sent the results back to me. Shocked!

Edited my post too to give you a little more info. I do really like Dan Swano though.

-
The Jorn was actually my third in line of songs to send. But I still wanna keep pushing the boundaries here.
-
I didn't even see results. Second place! Fark yeah! My standing in the ranks seems to have improved a fair amount with these two songs.
I'm telling you, Jorn's solo stuff has some of my all-time favorite Jorn songs. Much more of a rock vibe, but if you like Sunset Station, I strongly suggest checking out the song Gate of Tears, it's one of his earlier and faster songs that's a solid headbanger and I think you'd love it. Maybe even the song Worldchanger which will be stuck on your brain. No matter what I'm just glad you really liked Sunset Station - that is my #1 favorite Jorn track.
Gonna send stuff for the next round tonight.
-
haha, wow. What song did you think I almost sent?
And @Wolfking..I was way off on you. I'm embarrassed. I thought for sure you sent Dan Swano and considered Vanishing Point.
-
Well the bad news is that I didn't score so well.
The good news is that I can still send Katatonia in a future round... :neverusethis:

You can easily prevent that by revising my score... After all, if it was "much better" then it should have gotten a much better score too. :P
-
Sorry Lethean. It just ain't Jorn. :metardica:
-
I more than doubled my score :metal
-
So we are at the halfway point.
You guys have sent me a ton of great stuff. Really diverse, and the last round was especially challenging to stack. I'm expecting you guys to make it even harder.
Looking at the standings, it's still wide open. Elite, if you can pull another round like the last one, you'll be right up there.
Seneca, a few more songs like the last one, and you'll be right back in there.
Watchout for potholes...
I can't stand Chris Cornell. I hate 90's-'00's mainstream hard rock (Sevendust).
If a song has growls, which I can tolerate, and even like sometimes, the music must be stellar.
I hope you all will also join me with this:
Thank you Stadler!!!
(https://i.imgur.com/KvS7Nq9.jpg)
Great job, man, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your work.
Hopefully it hasn't been too taxing. 4 more rounds!!!
-
Yeah that's more like it baby
Jokes aside I didn't expect to do as great with that one but it's a killer tune and I didn't have anything I liked half as much for Sun
Next round should be interesting :corn
Hope i outscore leprous
-
I now have conclusive evidence that Tim had a "Deliverance" moment in the 90's.
It's the only explanation.
-
Tim, Between the Buried and Me was the song I almost sent, and as I said with Jorn third. I would never send that Vanishing Point song, even though I love the band.
-
Thanks for helping out, Stadler.
Also I don't think the MS Paint/photoshops of Stadler are getting enough credit. I f'ing love it.
-

Massive fail on my part. :lol I've seen you mention Vanishing Point before.

:rollin
Like a pin prick you..... ;D
-
Still first huh? I'll send tomorrow.
-
I'm good with that score and not at all disappointed by the songs that out scored me (well maybe Jorn). I wish I had stuck with my gut and sent that Perihelion Ship song. I had that one earmarked for this round since the beginning and switched to Pillorian at the last second. Oh well. I had a feeling Elite would send it if I didn't. That whole album is fantastic!
Still first huh? I'll send tomorrow.
I'm gaining!! :corn
-
^^ That album really is good. It's not normally a style of music I'm into but I checked it out a while back (man, last year? really? wow) and it's dope.
-
Perhelion Ship I remember like, not "get"ing at all and I listened to the whole record at least twice trying to figure it out :lol
Oh well
-
Perihelion Ship won that round of my roulette, but it definitely wouldn't have if I'd done my rankings after two listens. :P
-
TAC - for some of the end rounds, there are a lot of word varieties.
For Dark, would you accept: Darker, Darkest, Darkness, Darken/ed/ing, Darkroom?
For Light: Alight, Moonlight, Sunlight, Daylight, Firelight, Twilight, Lightening, Lighthouse, Candlelight?
Something that starts with life and is usually two words but they made it one? (example, Lifehouse)
What about dead for death?
-
I took the easiest freaking possible route with this next round, but I do have backup in case the songs have already been sent. Sent to the lovely secretary!
I see Lethean is pushing the boundaries with light :)
-
How about Darklight :neverusethis:
-
I see Lethean is pushing the boundaries with light :)
I don't really think so... maybe Lightening is. But if moonrise, moonlight, and moonshield were in the last round, I'm assuming different forms of light would be too. But I thought I'd better ask just in case. And if something is out, I can cross it from the list.
-

Oh for sure. I'm just poking fun 'cause I stuck to the basics this round. Partially out of laziness. Partially out of lack of selection. :lol

I already sent for round 5, and since I never heard back from Stadler, I assume I'm good to go... :corn

For Dark, would you accept: Darker, Darkest, Darkness, Darken/ed/ing, Darkroom?
Yes to all.
For Light: Alight, Moonlight, Sunlight, Daylight, Firelight, Twilight, Lightening, Lighthouse, Candlelight?
I'll accept these...but Lighthouse?? Which reminds me..Shadow Gallery is banned. ;D

i'm not actually i just found a super TAC-cellent song with one of those words in it like a week ago
if you won't let me then w/e what you'll get instead is still good but i wanna be able to send The Best

I don't know. There should be plenty of songs with Death, no?
Yes, but maybe there's a better Katatonia song with dead in the title than death... :angel:
Seriously - if you want to limit it to death; that's fine; I just wanted to know so I don't add "dead" songs to my list of potentials.
-
Shadow Gallery has been added to the Banned list.
Pretty sure Lifehouse blows. :lol
-
Goodnight people!
Get the next round into Stadler. I'll start the next round tomorrow if the songs are in!
-
My question is why the fuck are we thinking 4 rounds ahead?
Because I wanna? :P
I'm going to be traveling a bit and it's easier to narrow down songs on my computer than it is on my phone. Plus, I need to make sure no one steals a Katatonia song from me because I know TAC will be soooo soooo sad if I don't send one each round. ;)
-
Boy I sucked this round, BUT I'm sincerely ecstatic seing Asia and Yes doing good in the TAChouse!
I'm having trouble with the Black and White themes. Would, say, Turnip and Raccoon be acceptable? ;D
-
7. Kwyjibo...Down - Three Suns And One Star
"Much better than expected. Not sure how it's going to score though."
This song was a pleasant surprise. I honestly don't know the first thing about Down, but in my mind, I link them with the 90's-00's bands. Not sure if that's even fair. This song oozes Black Sabbath. There's a point at about the 2:52 mark where this mad Iommi riff comes in and totally changes the pace of the song. Very cool.
They are a 90s band in the sense that they were formed in the 90s, but their music is more doom and sabbath influenced metal with a lot of bluesy and southern rock influences. Their first three records are all good, I love the third one (Over The Under), where this track comes from the most. They also have two EPs which are mostly forgettable.
If it weren't for Phil Anselmo being such a tool, I would enjoy this band probably a lot more.
-
Oh, is that Phil Anselmo?
I thought they were a 90’s band, but they surprised me. Loved the Sabbath vibe.
-
Would, say, Turnip and Raccoon be acceptable? ;D
If I say yes, you’ll probably send me carrot and poon.
That will likely lock the thread.
-

Nah, I don't think I qualify for young anymore.

Compared to Kingshmegland, everyone qualifies as young.

Thank you all (well, actually, just TAC and KTLX; the rest of you can kiss my panty hose, you ungrateful assholes); this is actually fun as shit. I think I'm enjoying this as much as any roulette I've been in, with the possible exception of my own.
For "Black and White", I think I'm waiting on THREE TWO.

It's funny, because I get what TAC is saying about Yes. I love them, but what I love about them is Chris Squire and Alan White; they are the heaviest of the sort of "vintage" prog bands; I think Squire always wanted to be in Zeppelin but knew where his strengths were. I picked Heart of the Sunrise because it WAS so heavy; I would have sent South Side Of The Sky if there was no "restriction", but even then, the middle section is so... twee.
I still maintain that the best music is that where genres clash, where there's tension, and that was Yes. Heavy, heavy bass, with lyrics like "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you!" (SOOOO not metal).

No they made a movie out of his biography and he played himself.

I own every Toto album and seen them 5 times the 1st on The Seventh One tour.

I am, after all, a very likely candidate for sending Toto. I think of them every round. :lol
I've only seen them once, though. That was in 2013 at a freaking casino in St. Louis. I'm pretty sure I was the youngest person there, at the age of 23. Whole lotta gray hair in that audience. Anyway, it was one of the best shows I've ever seen despite everyone sitting in those classroom style foldout chairs. Those guys are incredible live. Joseph Williams was amazing. I need to see them again.
Also, give me O.

Angel Witch - White Witch

Dark Tranquility - White Noise Black Silence so TAC has it wrong

The Juliana Theory - White Days

It was on the short list (which was about 23 songs), but got cut rather early. Same with White Walls and a couple other songs I see in this round.
-
I'm just glad I didn't need my cheesy Breaking Bad related song I lined up for the backup. :lol
-
btw was expecting Messa - White Stains from puppies for some reason :corn
I almost did send this.
-
I go to sleep and there's nothing, I wake up and the whole hangman is solved. Sometimes I hate this different time zones. :D
-
Look on the bright side..You'll be the first to see the First Listen Impressions:
"I liked this a lot, as expected."
"I know we are fucking around a lot in this thread, but when I discuss a band, people should pay attention."
"Musically, this is so fantastic. Musically"
"This needs more listens. Could go either way."
"Old school classic!"
"Nice solo, smoking outro, but this band underachieves."
"This isn't going to do well"
"Wow, that really wasn't that bad."
"Strange chorus, but damn, this is some old school metal done right."
"Man I was worried, but then it picked up a bit, which I liked. But then I got worried again. It's a nice song.."
"Wow, I like this a lot."
"I was never into this band back in the day. But this was awesome!"
-
Almost all of these impressions could be my song, but I fear it's one of the not so positive ones. :eek :corn
-
"Man I was worried, but then it picked up a bit, which I liked. But then I got worried again. It's a nice song.."
Yeah that's probably me.
-
Yeah, the impressions "Wow, I like that a lot" and "Wow, that wasn't bad" tell almost nothing at all.
I'll go with "musically, it was so fantastic" one.
-
Yeah, the impressions "Wow, I like that a lot" and "Wow, that wasn't bad" tell almost nothing at all.
I'll go with "musically, it was so fantastic" one.
"Wow I like this a lot" was my first thought. It's a heavy song and it will score well.
"Wow, That wasn't bad" refers to a band that was resubmitted.
Of course.."I know we are fucking around a lot in this thread, but when I discuss a band, people should pay attention." refers to the same band..
-
Heavy song, huh. Could be Ensiferum or Dark Tranquility based on what I've heard from these bands.

Stumping for some TAC points....
"I liked this a lot, as expected."
"I know we are fucking around a lot in this thread, but when I discuss a band, people should pay attention." MARILLION
"Musically, this is so fantastic. Musically" THE CULT
"This needs more listens. Could go either way."
"Old school classic!"
"Nice solo, smoking outro, but this band underachieves." TOTO
"This isn't going to do well"
"Wow, that really wasn't that bad."

Stadler, you are 1 for 4.
And speaking of paying attention, you should check my post on one of those a few posts before yours. ;D

Although that comment could certainly apply to Marillion. :lol

Well, that's just it. I was THISCLOSE to sending "White Russian", but I read your detailed and nuanced review of Clutching At Straws ("It blows") and thought better of it. So I kind of looked at that quote with blinders on. In fact, it was the quote that made me decide to try for the points, and I just filled in the other three because I thought I should. :)

I'm ambivalent towards the first part of White Russian, but the quiet part and the ending are just majestic.

Tim does his homework. "It's a 90's song it blows!"
Someone points out his song is from the 90's that got a high mark.
Tim's response: *crickets* :lol
-
I think there’s a 90’s song that’s gonna do pretty good though
-
HangBlack when
Compete with evermind! Whichever hangman gets solved first gets TAC points
-
I’ll get it up tonight. Wait wut?

We all appreciate you for doing this.
Well, thank you, but I hope you all know I'm busting chops. I'm not looking for any accolades here. It's all in fun, and I'm sure every one of you would have done it too.
No fucking chance.

TAC, you should add bonus rounds where people send songs based off Marvel's Infinity Stones. Power, Mind, Soul, Time, Space, and Reality. I have all of mine already picked out! Also 'cause it's much too soon to even think about me running another one. It'll be specTACular :lol

Black First Listen Impressions. I tried to jazz them up a bit for Evermind. ;D
"This was solid enough, but I was expecting a bit more."
"This got in through the back door, and hits a lot of sensitive areas."
"I've checked this band out a few times. This was quite different. Growls? really"
"A non bolded Spotify band. Now I know why they're not bolded!. Kidding maybe..."
"Heavy and cool."
"This song was just alright. It didn't really standout against the competition here."
"I had high expectations and it did not disappoint."
"Contains one of the best parts of the entire roulette, but this song will likely be in the bottom half."
"I can see why you sent this to me. Not sure I'm crazy about it though. It's very wordy."
"Wow, lots of versatility in this song. It's really good. Smoking guitar."
"Wolfking sent this!"
"What in the fuck?"

None of these scream Parama to me tbh.
The first one that came to mind was
"Wow, lots of versatility in this song. It's really good. Smoking guitar."
I had also considered this one:
"A non bolded Spotify band. Now I know why they're not bolded!. Kidding maybe..."
But you made a comment earlier that makes me think you didn't send this one.
-
My song could be any of those. When I hope it's "heavy and cool" it's probably "what in the fuck". :D
-
i don't know what a non-bolded spotify band means so i can't comment on that one :lol
-
My song could be any of those. When I hope it's "heavy and cool" it's probably "what in the fuck". :D
I have no clue what you might've sent in this round. :)
i don't know what a non-bolded spotify band means so i can't comment on that one :lol
In the OP, I have my iPod List, which is banned, and my Spotify Saved list, which only the bolded bands are banned. One of the non bolded bands on that list was sent.
-
oh, i figured dreamgrave was outright banned since you'd likely heard the album in question if you'd heard anything from 'em before :lol
i did consider that one but nope
-
I don't remember the circumstances of Saving them on Spotify. I may have sampled them and "saved" them to revisit later, but it seems I never did. I mean, just to open the non banned bands up a bit, I didn't want to ban everything I had on my Spotify list. If I Saved something, but never really revisited it, then I figured I'd open them up to be sent.
-
fair, i dig what i sent more anyways so no big loss to me, i would've gone with it regardless :corn
-

Could be! Actually got three writeups left. I'm going to have dinner and then do them, so I guess results will be up in 2 or 3 hours. Very satisfied with this round too, and pretty sure about all of the scores—and I'm deliberately avoiding looking at the scoreboard, so I have no idea who is eliminated yet.
As of your roulette, I want to post my backup songs, but I'm not sure if it would broach the whole anonymous thing—did Stads send you both songs at once or only our first choices?
-

It might broach it, so don't do anything with that. I actually have a PM out to Stadler regarding this very point. Nothing to worry about.
But don't give anything away until after results are posted.

So due to an error in Accounting..on my part, Leprous-White will be REPLACING Sonata Arctica-In Black And White for the White round.

confirmed: leprous is better than sonata arctica :metal
hope it scores well though, i really think you'd like TPS and Bilateral a lot
the later just has literally no songs eligible for this roulette, so
-
confirmed: leprous is better than sonata arctica :metal
:lol
i really think you'd like TPS
I Saved it on Spotify and will check it out.
Maybe I was just extremely unlucky. I spent one afternoon months ago dropping the needs on a number of tunes, and they were all slow mellow noodlely things. I was begging for something upbeat.

did you listen to malina. that might be why. malina sucks.

completely useless album. i preordered it and then instantly regretted it the first time i listened to the album in full

I think that's the one I did.
Is that the one I described?
-
that is exactly what you described :tup
i don't think you'd dig coal or the congregation as much as they're less "prog metal" and more a turn into a kind of percussive/catchy/darker style
albeit i still think The Valley is their best song flat-out
-
did you listen to malina. that might be why. malina sucks.
Malina is a good album. I can't fathom why you'd say it sucks ???

Now I know it sucks! :lol

Switching the songs in the middle of the round. What a dramatic turn of events.
I love Malina - don't listen to Parama. :P
-
Malina is .. different. And very good. But not if you expect the even better Leprous from previous albuns.
-
really euphemistic way to say it sucks but go off :neverusethis:
most all the songs are 1. weak b-sides of the congregation 2. complete and total messes that don't work 3. boring crap like that 7 minute nothing of a closer
there's like 2 or 3 good songs on the album period and none of them come remotely close to the best material on any of their prior albums
-
I am not listening much to Malina anymore, but the song I enjoy the most from that album lately is Coma. I got bored of most of the other songs, and Coma has never been one of my favourites when the album came out, it's weird.
-
They probably should've just called the album Coma.
-
:lol
Coma is one of the songs I just can't get into. I'd say half of Malina is great, half is meh.
Tim would probably like TPS and Bilateral though, yeah.
-
The only thing about Malina that I might not completely love is The Last Milestone, and even then, I like it. I just don't always want to listen to it, and I can kind of understand the idea that maybe it's an underwhelming last track. Especially when compared to some of their others. But it's really quite beautiful and in the right mood it's a nice way to finish off the album.
Otherwise, I really enjoy everything else. Even the bonus track. And live, the songs were killer.
-
Spending this afternoon ranking the White songs.
I have to say there really aren't any standouts. The round truly is:
(https://www.wegmans.com/content/dam/wegmans/products/299/15299.jpg)
The rankings are so close, it's really just splitting hairs.

i hope i get a 2 :metal

i hope you're wrong about which one is mine :lol

For your sake, so do I! :lol

Glad we all did so well this round :rollin
-
The rankings were all close last time too, and that didn't work out so well for me...
-
I really should've sent that cheesy Breaking Bad song, and to hell with it. Oh well.
-
Vanilla? BS. Clean those ears and rewrite the results :neverusethis:

By the way I just wanted to say that I hate the Hate round and it must be the most difficult one for me so far. I'm not going to send Celesty but that's legitimately the best song I have for it. That and Don't Hate Me by PT which I'm obviously not sending either.
I have a few other songs lined up, but this is going to be the first time I'm sending something I'm not 100% behind.
-
The Hate round is the worst one yeah
Can't wait to see who got stuck sending one of the crappy eligible porcupine tree songs
-
The WHITE Results have been submitted.
If Stadler returns early from the weekend in the Hamptons, we could get results tonight.

The Flight Of Sleipnir Parama
The Cult Kwyjibo
The Juliana Theory Seneca
Ensiferum Evermind
Sonata Arctica Kattelox

What was weird about this round is that after the second listen, I usually have a pretty good hierarchy of songs. Not this round. There was a lot of movement up and down.
-
Swing and a miss!

Swing and a miss!
Actually, I should've known that and had pretty much decided you wouldn't send Toto to me, knowing how I feel about them.
The only other bands I could see you sending would be Marillion of The Cult. I'd be shocked if you send Toxik.

Nope.

White
12. Evermind-Ensiferum - White Storm
"I liked this a lot, as expected."
I wasn't in love with the vocals in the beginning of this song, but once I got past that, this was fantastic. It has some folk elements, but no overly so. Love the way this song develops in such a short time frame. Very enjoyable. I've sampled them before, and have generally liked what I've heard, but as usual..so many bands too little time. But I will indeed make some time for them after the roulette is over.
11. Puppies On Acid-Dark Tranquility - White Noise Black Science
"Wow, I like this a lot."
Here's another song where once you get through the vocal barrage in the first part of the song, the payoff is immense. This band is officially on The List. I thought this was excellent. Musically, there are so many great qualities on display. I could easily take another 3 or 4 minutes of this.
10. Stadler-The Cult - White
"I was never into this band back in the day. But this was awesome!"
I had a couple of friends who were really into The Cult. I only knew them from their radio hits, and they never did anything for me. I saw them twice opening for Metallica in 1989, but my attention was fixed on Matt Sorum, who rules. This song lingers a bit in the end, but it was surprisingly very enjoyable.
9. Kattelox-Sonata Arctica - White Pearl, Black Oceans
"Wow, that really wasn't that bad."
I can't really say anything bad about this song. Has lots of elements I like. Love the power metal chorus on this. It's a tad long but it's a pleasant enough listen. I consider Sonata Arctica rather bland, but I liked this song a lot.
8. Wolfking-Between The Buried And Me - White Walls
"Musically, this is so fantastic. Musically"
I'm honestly not in love with the growls, but this is musically this is technically amazing. But this song is really missing a hook to keep me engaged. The last four minutes of this are beyond words, but it feels like such a long and arduous journey to get there. Still, this stood out in a rather weak field.
7. Elite- Toxik - Black & White
"Strange chorus, but damn, this is some old school metal done right."
Reminds me a lot of Killing Is My Business era Megadeth. Which of course is all win in my book.Old school thrash with pretty decent vocals. The prechorus is amazing which dumps you into an awkward chorus, but that leads way into an amazing solo section. Just went to Save this on Spotify. 1989 huh? Totally kickass.
6. Lethean-Leprous-White
Yeah, so pretty much all of this is pretty good. Musically, it's quite a journey and never boring. By far the most interesting track I've heard by Leprous. Gonna check this album on for sure. For the life of me, I cannot believe someone couldn't decide between this and Sonata Arctica.
5. Parama-The Flight Of Sleipnir - Falcon White
"This needs more listens. Could go either way."
Interesting track. Starts off mellow, then sounds like Bruce Dickinson being tortured, to some great music and guitar, then back to tortured Bruce. Ends with a nice chill outro. I don't know if I'm all that crazy about this song. I don't dislike it, but it's too long for what it does.
4. Indiscipline-Angel Witch - White Witch
"Old school classic!"
I love me some old school metal. I never really got into Angel Witch. They were just a bit too obscure at the time for me. But these early metal songs evoke so many emotions in me. It was such a time of musical discovery for me, like no other. Unfortunately this isn't a great song, but my interest is still piqued.
3. Kwyjibo-Toto - White Sister
"Nice solo, smoking outro, but this band underachieves."
I've commented a few times about songs where by surviving a vocal barrage, they open up to virtual masterpieces. Well this song is similar, where it absolutely blows for three minutes, and then absolutely slays for the next two and a half. Unfortunately, there's nothing here that piques my curiosity any more about this band. I know they are great musicians. I just wish their music was better.
2. Kingshmegland-The Juliana Theory - White Days
"This isn't going to do well"
I really wanted to like this song. I thought the verses had a great pace. I needed the prechorus and chorus to build on that and it just never gets there. I didn't actively dislike it, but I don't think this would be something I'd further dig into.
1. Senegadawg2-Marillion - White Paper
"Man I was worried, but then it picked up a bit, which I liked. But then I got worried again. It's a nice song.."
I understand and totally respect that whoever sent this likes this song a lot and is meaningful to them. I appreciate people sending stuff that THEY like. To me, roulettes are about sharing. But if I'm honest, I'm probably not coming back to this.
-
yeah i'll give you that that flight of sleipnir song is a bit long
also i love "can't believe someone would have trouble deciding between sonata arctica and leprous" alongside "sonata arctica scores higher than leprous" :lol
at least i only lost one point to sending what i sent instead of leprous :P
-
Kickass.
WPBO was played on repeat for hours when I was a young teen, shortly after its release. Man. Good times. Glad you liked it. It's considered one of their very best.
Also White Sister isn't even the best song on Hydra so please do not write off Toto or even that record. It's funky, but also unlike the rest of all their albums. Trust me on this. Although I saw WS live in 2013 and it freaking rocked...
-
also TAC you'd like TGM so much it's a lot more melodic than colors and most songs have a decent hook to them too
just
the only eligible song for any of these rounds was, again, a 17-minute epic :lol
you'd probably like any of their post-colors albums really, since they consistently got more melodic with each new album
-
also i love "can't believe someone would have trouble deciding between sonata arctica and leprous" alongside "sonata arctica scores higher than leprous" :lol
:lol
I know right. I saw that and read it and thought :facepalm:
But the other SA song was originally ranked at 3 and Leprous was originally ranked at 9.
The SA song K-Lox sent was really good. I don't think they're all that great, but I enjoyed K-Lox's song a lot.
The Sleipnir song just needed another element to it. I mean it had my attention and just because it ended up at 5 didn't mean I didn't like it. I thought it was cool, and I plan on checking them out.

Sending SA was playing with fire. Glad it worked out for you.

The only way it rocked was if the singer called in sick and they started at the 3:00 minute mark.
-
They played it with a different singer! :lol
-
I'm stoked you liked that Dark Tranquillity song that much. I was a little worried since it was from one of their weaker (imo) albums, but it was the only song that qualified that wasn't going to take the spot of a better song (again imo) later in the roulette. If you want to look in to them further I highly recommend the albums Character, Fiction, and The Gallery. Fiction is my favorite, but Character is a super close second. The Gallery is their second album and has more of an old school feel to it.

It should have stayed at 9. ;)
Very glad you liked it enough to check out the album though. :). Also nice to see that Stadler's back from the Hamptons.

Boo
Hiss.
That's the ballad of the album. There's some cool rockers on that album Tim. Not as heavy as you like but I think you'd dig it at least.
-
I need a few words with my brother :D
-
Happy gambling with BTBAM again. Solid score. Tim, they are a band and that album in particular is a very slow grower. At first I too found it a struggle and exhausting to get through but I got hooked and loved sitting through the whole thing. Such an amazing band.
-

3. Kwyjibo-Toto - White Sister
"Nice solo, smoking outro, but this band underachieves."
I've commented a few times about songs where by surviving a vocal barrage, they open up to virtual masterpieces. Well this song is similar, where it absolutely blows for three minutes, and then absolutely slays for the next two and a half. Unfortunately, there's nothing here that piques my curiosity any more about this band. I know they are great musicians. I just wish their music was better.
I just quote Kattelox:
That's a good song regardless of what you'll write about it, damn you! :lol
He knows what's up.
I almost feared that you don't like it, but this was for me the best song I sent so far. Most of the others I sent I think are good but not the ones I would have sent for the respective artists, if it were not for the themes. This Toto song is just a top 10 tune for me, so you fail big time if you don't like it. :biggrin:
Okay, up for black now, I sent the opposite from Toto, let's see how that doesn't work also. ;)
-
I almost sent this song by melodic black metal band Naglfar for the black round, but thought there'd be too many growls. Maybe I should've sent it.

I nearly sent this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rtebislZEA), thankfully I went with Ensiferum instead. :lol I'm sure this chorus would've tanked hard.
Edit: listened to the Naglfar song, yeah, a little too much for me.
-
Oh jeeze :lol And I almost sent you that Naglfar song in the tiebreaker, haha!
-
I’ll be home in a couple hours. Too busy at work to DTF today.
Take the weekend off and all hell breaks loose.

Yeah I liked the song right away. You love to hear more instrumentally from them.
Boo
Hiss.
That's the ballad of the album. There's some cool rockers on that album Tim. Not as heavy as you like but I think you'd dig it at least.
I didn't NOT like the song. It was actually very pleasant.
I need a few words with my brother :D
Don't be too hard on him. It was a good choice. The song actually started out fairly high, but seemed to sink over the weekend. Loved the vibe, just maybe not the song itself.
Happy gambling with BTBAM again. Solid score. Tim, they are a band and that album in particular is a very slow grower. At first I too found it a struggle and exhausting to get through but I got hooked and loved sitting through the whole thing. Such an amazing band.
Yeah, they are amazing. I'll be checking them out for sure.

The first half of that song was so bad, especially compared to the second half. If this is a Top 10 Toto tune for anyone, then I know this band isn't for me.
-
Oh i got that Tim. I had so many to pick from that you heard all of them. So points or not, I'm send stuff you never heard. And like you said these were all very close.
-
They really were close.
The Black round is worse in terms of closeness. But it might be my favorite round so far though. The Black songs rule!!
Going to settle into them again this afternoon.
-
The Black songs rule except for parama's*
-
Just out of curiosity, what's so bad about the first half of White Sister? You don't like Bobby Kimball singing, his voice? Or is there something else?
-
Just out of curiosity, what's so bad about the first half of White Sister? You don't like Bobby Kimball singing, his voice? Or is there something else?
I don't have a problem with his voice. It's just too poppy. Like Asia. I know they can play better music.
-
TAC, Toto has a ton of stuff that sounds nothing like that. Keep in mind that's only their second album, and it admittedly has some of their corniest stuff especially in the vocal melodies. Much of their 80s stuff falls victim to that too, but Toto IV my single favorite album of all time and has none of WS's groove, in my opinion, and it sounds polished and clean and contemporary even today.
In fact, I'm going to send you 10 Toto songs from all over the map alongside the Rhapsody list. No rush. Less poppy. More rockin'. But I want you to hear them eventually. :lol
-
Yeah, go for it. I'm sure Kingshmegland would like to suggest some songs too.
-
Just banged out the writeups for the Black songs.
Not sure I can't get results up tonight because I have to listen to these a couple more times for stacking. Might be my favorite batch of songs so far.
-
Yeah, go for it. I'm sure Kingshmegland would like to suggest some songs too.
There's a few I know your like but they are not up your alley

I was about ready to hit 'send' on my message to TAC's Stadlertary. Then I double-checked, and discovered that Testament was banned (I would have sent True American Hate). And the worst part is I was so cocky, thinking I had a great song.
Looks like I'm sending something from a genre TAC ain't gonna like. :lol

True American Hate
I'm not even crazy about that song.

OK, the Black Results have been sent for tabulation.
If Stadler checks in tonight, I'll post them right away. If not, it'll be the morning.
Here are my guesses:
Axenstar - Kattelox
Angel Dust - Evermind
Soilwork - Wolfking
Vektor - Puppies
The Dreadnoughts - Indiscipline
Spires - Parama
Thrice - Seneca
Dreamgrave - Elite
Frost - Kingshmegland
Angra - Lethean

It's pretty dope. Take a pee break before listening.

Mine is correct :metal
-
popped off all my songs to stadler for rounds 7 & 8 :corn
only one i'm not super confident about is my Dark song but the one I picked is semi-cheating, Light is the band I've been waiting to send literally all roulette but never got a chance until now, Life is another band that I had pegged from near the start and no chance to send, Death is a band I literally found out about a few weeks ago and instantly filed as perfect TAC-core :metal
and there's a wildcard in there somewhere for one of these, but i refuse to specify which for obvious reasons :corn
anyways if i die in a targic accident somehow you'll still have my songs

I did send Dreamgrave, indeed. The non-bolded Spotify band.

Next round the hate songs are gonna be the worst bunch yet :metal
That's how it's gonna look:
Iron Maiden - The Thin Line Between Love and Hate ... Wolfking
Foghat - Hate to See You Go ... King
Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - I Hate Myself for Loving You ... Seneca

Ethel Merman - I Hate Man ... Indiscipline

Slayer - God Hates Us All ... Lethean
The Clash - Hate and War ... Kwyjibo
That post has a lot of hate in it. ;D
-
I wouldn't send Rob Halford or Priest if you paid me.
-
I'm pretty sure some of those would also feature Hatred, if that's allowed.
Sucks that Primal Fear and DragonForce is banned, I would've used one of those.

Black Results
12. Elite..Dreamgrave - Black Spiral
"A non bolded Spotify band. Now I know why they're not bolded!. Kidding maybe..."
I actually have this album Saved on Spotify. I couldn't remember anything about it, so I must've saved it for later and never went back to it. So it remained unbolded on the banned list. Wow, this song really grew on me. I will be diving into this album for sure. This song had a great pace to it and had kind of a swing feel in parts. Loved the rhythms and how the harsh and female vocals played off each other. Very cool.
11. Kingshmegland..Frost - Black Light Machine
"Contains one of the best parts of the entire roulette, but this song will likely be in the bottom half."
So I hate the John Mayer vocals on this. Hate the style. Hate the production effects on them. Luckily, the music on this is absolutely phenomenal. The instrumental section that begins around 1:30 and goes for 4 minutes before the John Mayer comes back in is simply incredible. The guitar tone is ridiculous. Thankfully it's only another minute of vocals before the instrumentation kicks in, with the smoking guitar returning for the end.
10. Evermind..Angel Dust - Black Rain
"This was solid enough, but I was expecting a bit more."
This song is good. Love the vocals and the verses. Great instrumental section. Not crazy about the chorus, and i feel like it holds the song back a bit. But definitely a solid choice.
9. Kwyjibo..Opeth - Blackwater Park
"I had high expectations and it did not disappoint."
I can see why Opeth is so popular here on DTF. Musically they are so top notch. It comes down to the vocals of course. I'm way more open to these than I was before. This was a great pick. Lots to chew on here, but this was excellent.
8. Stadler...Wild Horses-Blackmail
"This got in through the back door, and hits a lot of sensitive areas."
Brian Robertson's guitar goes right up my ass and tickles my innards. This was Robertson's stop between Thin Lizzy and Motorhead,. This band also was Jimmy Bain's stop between Rainbow and Dio, and this band also touted future UFO members Neil Carter and Clive Edwards. This was a clever submission that I allowed after much consternation. But it was a targeted and thoughtful entry. Lots of memories with this one.
7. Puppies On Acid...Vektor - Black Future
"Heavy and cool. Reminds me of Killing Is My Business era Megadeth."
After more listens, this probably reminds me more of Slayer. A cool old school style trash tune. You'd think is was 25 years older. Cool instrumental part. The vocals are tolerable, but not great. Defintely Metal.
6. Parama...Spires - In Black Ravines
"Wow, lots of versatility in this song. It's really good. Smoking guitar."
Interesting tune here. Another one where if you can survive the first half, you are rewarded with some really great music. Not in love with those early vocals. Ultimately, I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm likely to check them out as this is different but that doesn't mean I love the song.
5. Wolfking...Soilwork - Black Star Deceiver
"Wolfking sent this!"
Solid tune, likely middle of the pack here. Not sure this song would be the one to draw me into Soilwork though. Like I said, it's solid. I don't have a lot to say about this...
4. Lethean...Angra - Black Widow's Web
"I've checked this band out a few times. This was quite different. Growls? really"
I never knew Growls were part of Angra's thing. I see this is a 2018 release. Is this something new for them?
The song itself is solid enough. I don't think it was really one of my Go-To songs of the round. I didn't dislike it though and was very surprised at what I heard.
3. Kattelox...Axenstar - Blackout
" I can see why you sent this to me. Not sure I'm crazy about it though. It's very wordy."
Solid Power Metal. I've checked Axentstar out before. This album cover looks familiar. Love the speedy double bass. Really sits in the pocket for me. A little generic though. That will count against it.
2. Indiscipline...The Dreadnoughts - Black Sea Gale
"What in the fuck?"
Party down at the dock, mateys! This song really grew on me. Not sure how that translates points wise, but it was definitely a hoot.
1. Senecadawg2...Thrice - Black Honey
"This song was just alright. It didn't really standout against the competition here."
A pleasant song. Reminds me of my mid 90's personal Ice Age where I might have tolerated this. Not really sure what to do with this though. Not really in my wheelhouse.

Sounded just like it. Gorham? It's the same guitar sound on Bad Reputation. If it was Neil, then he was playing through Brian's rig.
-
Not super surprised dreamgrave scored that high but I probably would've sent spires anyways :metal
Also pretty much the entire album sounds exactly like that song, there's one tune that's got a triplet groove to it and the big 17 minute epic isn't as heavy as most of the rest of the album surprisingly but it's. Good, but a little samey
Anyways stads has my crap for round 6 already so

No, no, it was; I was making an off-color joke about your innards. :)
More seriously, I'm a HUGE fan of Robertson's playing. That Motorhead record is BY FAR my favorite one, and I like a lot of both the Wild Horses records (though the first is the only real collaboration; I understand there were problems on the second and I think it's more a Bain solo record if memory serves.)
-
Y'know, based on a lot of the (don't take this the wrong way) "generic" sounding speed/power metal sent in my last roulette, I had honestly expected Axenstar to rank higher, because I thought that fit right in the pocket. No worries though, still doing good! Next round I have very few options but won't complain, I know I'm gonna tank. :hat

Round 6 already sent. Fully expecting it to be my bane for reasons.

Wow, the songs I'm sure will tank score high and the ones that I think are right up your alley don't do good at all. Still I take that 9 points. :metal
You wrote that you had listened to Ghost Reveries and liked it. I highly recommend that you check out Blackwater Park as well, imo it's even better.

Wow I won a round :lol
Still in the bottom, so let’s do this again!

I just sent two songs I haven't even heard before. :lol

So this is my third roulette, and I've already bought more albums due to it than my first two combined. Not only that, but I have followed up on a number of albums as well.
To steal from Parama and his mid roulette album reviews.....

Made a COB haul after the first round. Still haven't listened to Follow The Reaper. I like this. The vocals are still a bit much but if I bite off small chunks, it's very rewarding musically. Of the one's I've heard so far, I'd give the nod to Hatebreeder. I think I actually like Something Wild over HCDR. But really only one listen each. The songwriting is so strong. Lots to chew on musically.
Wolfking :tup

Since today is like a roulette off day, I listened to this album today. This is really f'n solid. I will definitely be getting this and then some. I love this band. Great vocals and heavy as shit riffs. Stone Carved Eyes is ridiculous.
Lethean :tup
-
As I said in the Evermind roulette thread, Conspiracy In Mind is also a strong (imo even better) record by Communic. Give that one a spin also.

Dammit, Katt. This is supposed to be an anonymous roulette.
Anyways, Stads sir, I just sent a couple of jewels in your inbox ...
I mean, a pair of big ...
Aw, fock it.

You're telling me that's not my junk? I must have been drinking.

Giving Seneca some love...

This album was actually weirder than I expected. :lol
Kind of like Fields Of The Nephilim meets Cats. There's like 4 or 5 songs that would've qualified for this roulette. But man, you picked the right one.
I realize points have been tough to come by, but please take solace in the fact that you sent me literally one of my favorite songs in this roulette.
Seneca :tup

i'm gonna start working on a post-roulette EP of "stuff i'd have sent but the artists literally were never eligible" now

Listening to the White Walls album now.

This album is fantastic. I love it. Lots of variety, but overall, it rocks pretty good. Some growls but they are relatively few and far between.
My Amazon account is at $0 thanks to my Children Of Bodom haul, but with multiple holidays coming up, once I get reset, I'm buying this.
Parama :tup

COB :tup
Getting pretty tough finding songs now to be honest.
Honestly, that's one of my least fav Soilwork songs. I'm spewing I forgot about Spirits of the Future Sun. It would have crushed the Behemoth, check it out Tim. Still kicking myself when I realised I missed that one.
One band I was just going to send I see got used in that round too. Fuck.

That's the one. Cross of Hatred, fucking killer. Tim should love that one.
-
Fucking hell, even Mystic Prophecy are banned.
-
Sent some shit that I like, and I think one of them should be to Tim's liking, so it will probably not score well. ;)
Wanted to send Amorphis - Daughter Of Hate for this round, but Amorphis was already used.

SO many good bands have been eliminated just from this roulette. It's funny how I listen to mostly metal, but the word Hate, I'm really struggling with, possibly the most so far.
Would have also sent Engines of Hate from Nevermore and of course Hate Me! from COB. Tim hasn't listened to Follow the Reaper yet, maybe I could sneak that in! :lol
-
I sent Stadlertary (I like that K-Lox) the Black results last night. Waiting for him at the office.
UDPATE:
Security has alerted me that he is with a special client this morning. They sent me a CCTV still capture. Look at your own risk.
(https://i.imgur.com/ppUUq2H.jpg)
I don't want to litigate this in the press, but I want it known that a) my breasts are fabulous, and b) I didn't take a dime for this. Who would?
-
Is everyone in for the next round yet??
-
In like Flynn.
-
Same.
Or I should say, "In like Kraft."
-
Submitted the best hate song:

Give me 10 minutes.
-
So, Stadler sent me 6 Love and 6 Hate songs this morning. Seems he was still waiting for a couple of people. Hopefully they have sent and I'll get them tomorrow.
Suffice to say, this will be the weakest round yet. Yeah yeah, I know the themes..right?
Just want to remind everyone that the themes were not Sucks And Blows.
Of the 12 songs I have, I think I actually like 2 or 3 songs. There are 4 or 5 that I don't even want to listen to again. :lol
-
I think I may have better songs for Sucks and Blows.... :corn
-
Tim you are such a bitch. :lol
-
I think I may have better songs for Sucks and Blows.... :corn
After hearing what I just heard, I believe you. :lol
In the last round, I think Axenstar got a 3 and Angra got a 4. Those unfortunately are not great scores, but I still legitimately liked those songs.
I feel like in this round, a song could get a 9 and I'll be indifferent towards it.
Anyway, waiting for the next half in the morning.
-
Tim you are such a bitch. :lol
:lol
I am shocked at one song I got. How on earth did someone think it would be OK to send that? :lol
-
I think both songs I sent are okay but I wouldn't have sent them in most roulettes
one of them actually forced me to use a band i was trying to save until next round
-

Parama, you pay attention to what people say. I'm not worried about you in this round.
-
I know at least one person sent you porcupine tree, yes
my songs for all the future rounds are genuinely killer though, had a lot of room to work with those themes
-
Oh God. And that's not even in the batch I have. :facepalm: :lol
-
i'm honestly just guessing/making a point to discourage people from sending them
i'm helping
-
Tim you are such a bitch. :lol
Almost choked on my beer reading this :lol
I have no investment in my submissions so I hope they're the ones that don't totally suck.
-

I seriously considered sending this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxwrAWk2A4U), but I figured 36 minutes might be a little much....plus it's something that definitely leans more towards Parama-core.
-
save it for your concept album in my roulette
if you make it
-
save it for your concept album in my roulette
if you make it
It was on my short list, but ultimately didn't make it on any of my EP's or concept album. You will probably receive something by Elysian Blaze in my post roulette submissions.
-
I sent a pretty good Hate material and amazing Love material, so I expect a 3 for the latter at best.
-
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Suck My Kiss
Manowar - Blow Your Speakers
-
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Suck My Kiss
Manowar - Blow Your Speakers

Hangman solved!

Swans - I Love You This Much
Ulver - Hymne III: Of Wolf and Hatred

Oh god, TAC would hate Swans! :lol
-
don’t underestimate that Ulver song. He would hate it even more probably.
-
Sent Kayo Dot!

Impossible for this round

I have their secret unreleased demo album nobody else has ever heard about :corn
-
All entries are in at this point. Buns in the oven, as they say. I'm stepping out to get a spray tan and have my nails done. Leave a message.
Ooops, got to go! Bobby sent a car and its here!
-
Watch out for your carpal tunnel!
-
Want sure you could get that on your mouth...
Yup, got everyone.
Hangman 9:00 Boston time tonight.
Probably doing the LOVE round first. Gotta purge it from this roulette as quick as possible. :lol
-
:lol
What about love Tim? Don't you want someone to care about you?
-
No Love

How can I face this alone?

I really stayed true to the Love theme by the way. :lol

Good thing WPBO did good enough to ban anyone from trying that garbage song :lol

Is anyone actually confident about their picks? I had literally tons of ‘love’ songs to choose from, but my hate pool was very shallow indeed.

Same with me but knowing how bad this round sounds for him makes me think my pick will do well.
-
I don't have much confidence or stake in either of my picks this round :corn
Next two rounds I have nothing but bangers though
-
Nevermind!
Just so everyone knows, there's a slight exception in the Hate Round. Seems someone sent the word Hate from another language in the title. Apparently I OK'd it last week. :facepalm: Based on this new information, if anyone wants to change their Hate word to it's version of a foreign language, then that's OK. Just has to be in tomorrow.

OK..I just finished the second batch of LOVE songs..
I mean, everyone was bitching about how tough it was to find a song with Hate in the title. Seems like finding one with Love would've been easy.
All I have to say is...you guys should be ashamed of your self.
(https://media.giphy.com/media/bQ4qx1qT28rHG/giphy.gif)
I mean, I should've just had a Winger round. I have been enjoying the music in this roulette so much you guys have no idea. But how can EVERYONE send absolute shit all in the same round. There is only one song that I kind of like.
If you are reading this and thinking, OMG he hates my song..the answer is YES! I do! :lol
I should make all of you listen to this playlist before I post results.
I is disappoint!
Here are my first listen impressions.
"I don't even like this band, and this song did not change my mind."
"Ahh metal. You guys do know that I'm a Metal fan. And this isn't even that good."
"I know this band is capable of much more. Great guitarist but what a horrible guitar sound."
"No offence, but I cannot fathom why you would send this to me. No disrespect"
"This band is a just miss for me. This song was no different."
"This song seemed a bit deep. I will not say it sucks on its own, but it's not even close to something I would ever listen to though. "
"You gotta be kidding me. How could anyone think sending this to me was OK?"
"Wow, that was a really nice song. It held my attention...unexpectedly."
"It's just another crap song"
"Oh Boy. This band gets a lot of love around here, but it can't be because this song."
"Literally the worst vocal in this roulette...and that's saying something."
This song rocks a little, but does not deserve the score it'll probably get."
-
hey, wasn't my first pick :corn
the real answer is because love sucks and metal bands aren't about love
-
These 2 could be mine.
"Oh Boy. This band gets a lot of love around here, but it can't be because this song."
This song rocks a little, but does not deserve the score it'll probably get."
-
I know you're not the second one. And I'd be shocked if you were the first one.
-
I'm heading to bed. Hopefully I'll have some letters to update the hangman at work in the morning.
I'm gonna have nightmares..

Probably one of these for me. :metal

I'd say this is mine and I still insist my song is great. Just because you only listen to metal doesn't mean other music sucks. :biggrin:

"I don't even like this band, and this song did not change my mind."
"This band is a just miss for me. This song was no different."

"This song rocks a little, but does not deserve the score it'll probably get."
Probably one of these is mine, so my chances of not scoring well are at 60%
And give me O for "Oh, I love that" ;D

:P

Could there be Tony Iommi in there? But if, there's an I instead of an O. And if it's Iommi, that's the song with the horrible guitar sound
And Coheed And Cambria, and that could be the worst vocal song.
Pain Of Salvation - Second Love, great great song that will almost certainly score low here. ;)
And there's a song called Modern Love?
-
I called it early on.
It's Tim's roulette so he can set it up however he wants - but methinks this won't be the only round with an average / mediocre group of songs.
Clearly this round didn't even live up to the average/mediocre level.
All due respect to the host, you made your bed; lay the fuck down. To paraphrase a Batman movie, you didn't get what you need, but you got what you deserved.

Holy shit! That actually looks like my dog. GTFO.

This song rocks a little, but does not deserve the score it'll probably get."
Any one of these could be mine, but I'm going all in on the second one. But... without giving too much away, I had a reason. Yeah, there probably were better songs with "Love" in the title, but a lot of them were cliches, a lot of them were the "hit" that wasn't really indicative of the rest of the album/band, and a lot of them just flat out sucked. But I went deep, hoping to awaken a subconscious connection... :)
-
Hurry up and flunk us so I can get back to sending good music.
-
All updated above. Even Tiny Iommi.
And that is not the song with the bad guitar tone.
I thought it was Tiny Iommi. Tony's younger brother. He put out a couple albums in the late 70's. Auditioned for Whitesnake and lost out to John Sykes. ;)

coheed and PoS were both bands I was totally aware had songs that qualified for this round, and I absolutely wasn't gonna send either :P
coheed is Three Evils (Embodied In Love And Shadow) btw
The Dark Sentencer was also a song I considered for the next round, but I didn't consider it for very long
-
The Tony Iommi featuring Black Sabbath is No Stranger to Love.
Wait, no it isn't. Was going yo say i thought Sabbath were banned.
Edit: Just Say No to Love. From his solo album.

I'd have thought Firewind being generic would've been the bigger problem :neverusethis:
I'm a fan. However, I really really like that album BUT, the production is terrible and almost ruins it. The bright powerful production of Allegiance and Premonition was completely gone when this came out. At first I wrote it off and also thought the songwriting was subpar, but went back to it and really enjoyed it. Gus has become one of the coolest guitarists in recent years IMO but yeah, his tone on this album was shit. This song is top 3 on the album though, the change in the chorus after the solo is excellent, but one a whole the whole thing is your pretty standard metal affair.
-
I like Gus's guest spot on Kamelot's Hunter's Season a lot but that's about it. And a couple songs with Chity Sompala on the Forged By Fire album. But overall they never interested me enough to listen to another album. Actually I don't think I even finished FBF :lol
-
Firewind is not a band I follow or am into. A few years ago, I figured I'd jump and buy their brand new album. It was Few Against Many, and it was literally the worst album I bought that year. I've only listened to it once.

I think they rebranded and pulled their last album off spotify for some reason actually
They rerecorded it and released it under the name Palehorse and I think that might be up on spotify? But it probably sounds worse than the original and that wasn't one of the better songs to begin with :P
Dunno who actually sent them though, but if you absolutely can't find em anywhere else

Oh OK. Yes, the Palehorse is available!
I was considering just grading that song if I couldn't find Amendfoil. :lol

See I thought the first one was Eldritch but it didn't fit in the hangman spot
The whole Amendfoil/Palehorse debacle is so baffling to me, just seems like a stream of stupid decisions all around
I was actually considering Darken Waters for the next round (went with something else tho) but that song is genuinely killer whereas I don't even remember which song on the album Odious is :lol

Why was ‘odious’ accepted?
Cuz I'm dumb.
Just so everyone knows, there's a slight exception in the Hate Round. Seems someone sent the word Hate from another language in the title. Apparently I OK'd it last week. :facepalm: Based on this new information, if anyone wants to change their Hate word to it's version of a foreign language, then that's OK. Just has to be in tomorrow.

I cant remember if this was addressed earlier in the thread, but can we send the same band for both parts of a round?

I said songs, not artists! Within the last couple days in this thread I mentioned I have Forged By Fire and like a few songs on it, and of course I was sent a Firewind song in my last roulette. :biggrin:

Yeah, pretty sure you got me and Parama swapped.

Yeah, I sent the Lizzy Borden. Not expecting much but I love that song and album.

Halford not banned? Missed that one. That's a cool song but very generic and really something they must have come up with in 5 minutes. It's cool hearing them together though.

Kade, the only Halford I have is the Live At The Saitama Arena.
I've only listened to it a couple of times.
It's....solid. ;D
Honestly, I need to check out more of Halford. I'm not a Judas Priest freak, surprisingly.
-
I did send Queens of the Stone Age indeed. How did you figure that out?
Educated guess.
For some of the guys, their songs are easy to spot. Once I clear them out, I usually have about 4 or 5 songs where I have no clue. Then I just try and match the best I can.
-
Yeah, I thought that was the case with Priest. Resurrection is an absolutely stellar metal album, loved it ever since it was released. Still remember buying it. Funnily enough, The One You Love to Hate is one of my least favs, and IMO drags it down a bit. The whole think is just a novelty to showcase Bruce really, I just wish he was utilised on a better song.
I can't remember a thing about that live album, but Live Insurrection is the only live Halford that is needed.

I knew PoS was yours because it was matched up with Dire Straits. I did not care for the Dire Straits song at all though.
The funny thing is that as long as I have been doing Wild Cards, there's always a huge discrepancy between songs. 99.9% of the time, it's a quick choice. I'm often wondering how people could be torn between these two songs. One of the usually blows. :lol

Seems like too much love overshadowed the hate, cause this isn't finished.
Is there an Orion Child?
And give me an F for my second favorite f word.

Here are the Hate First Impressions:
"I have no idea where this will rank. It's really not that great."
"Nice and heavy I like it."
"Boy, and I bet you think you're a slick motherfucker, don't you?"
"Well, that was a big bucket of nothing."
"I don't even know what to say about this. That was weird."
"I find it hard to believe that someone actually listens to this band. It's actually not bad considering the competition."
"Mediocris, which is Latin for "meh"."
"Yeah, this song is excellent. One of my favorite musicians is present."
"This sounds like something I would've recorded in my buddy's basement when I was 14."
"Nice and heavy. Great melodic outro"
"Indiscipline sent this."
"With no prejudice whatsoever, I don't think I like this."
-
aww yeah i see mine :metal

"Yeah, this song is excellent. One of my favorite musicians is present."
This will be the Halford I'd say. Surprised at the comment. It is a good song I admit but yeah, like I said earlier. I guess when it's up against a lot of the other stuff, it's always going to sound good.

You guys are icky!

Wow. I saw them on 1-31-89 in Providence. House Of Lords opened and they had the most cringeworthy singer.
The HoL singer was cringeworthy, or Cheap Trick's? In my view, Robin Zander is one of THE most underrated singers in the history of rock. I love Cheap Trick all around (compare Kiss's "See You In Your Dreams" and Gene Simmons' solo version with Rick playing and it's night and fucking day. Wow, that would make a good roulette theme!) but they'd have faded long ago if it wasn't for Robin Zander. He's been doing this live for 45 years, and while he doesn't sound EXACTLY like he did in '77, he's as close as any of the big names out there, and he's likely done twice (or even three times) as many shows.
Plus, they're cool; they played my Spring Break at Uconn, and basically hung out at Huskies (one of the two bars right on campus) all afternoon.

LOVE
12. Kattelox...Firewind-Kill In The Name Of Love
"I know this band is capable of much more. Great guitarist but what a horrible guitar sound."
Pretty decent song here. It's obviously right up my alley. But holy hell, does this production suck! Still it's good metal and easily win this round.
11. Evermind...Pain Of Salvation-Second Love
"Wow, that was a really nice song. It held my attention...unexpectedly."
This is the surprise of the round. I really liked this song. Very mellow and melodic. Very nicely written. I have never really checked out Pain Of Salvation. I should probably change that.
10. Wolfking...Lizzy Borden - Lovin' You Is Murder
"Ahh metal. You guys do know that I'm a Metal fan. And this isn't even that good."
I must say, I was not expecting Lizzy Borden in this roulette. It's as if jjrock88 suddenly joined in. Even though this song isn't really that great, it actually grew on me. I may check this album out.
9. Lethean...Eldritch-Love From A Stone
"This band is a just miss for me. This song was no different."
I have one Eldritch album, Portrait Of The Abyss Within. I haven't heard it in a long time. I remember liking half of the album, but for some reason I never really got into them. I've dropped the needle on them a few times, but nog=thing has really stood out. This song is no different, but in this round, it's strong enough.
8. Kwyjibo...Thunder - Does It Feel Like Love?
"This song rocks a little, but does not deserve the score it'll probably get."
For some reason, I have never checked out Thunder. This has kind of a country feel to it. This wouldn't entice me to further dig in though. But in this weak round, it does ok.
7. Parama...The Receiving End of Sirens - The Salesman, The Husband, The Lover
"This song seemed a bit deep. I will not say it sucks on its own, but it's not even close to something I would ever listen to though."
So, this is an interesting song. It's really not something I'd listen to, or follow up with. But one thing this song has that the ones below it don't have is a certain amount of depth in the songwriting. I have a respect for this song, even if I didn't find it all that enjoyable. I can at least recognize it for its own merits.
6. Stadler...Peter Gabriel-Modern Love
"You gotta be kidding me. How could anyone think sending this to me was OK?"
I hate Genesis, especially the Gabriel era. I have never had a problem with Gabriel solo hits on the radio. But his voice is annoying here. But at least it's still better than Peter Steele.
5. Elite...Queens Of The Stone Age - Another Love Song
"It's just another crap song"
The only thing I could think of to say something nice about this is that it reminded me of early pre Ezrin Alice Cooper. And that was pretty bad.
4. Puppies... Coheed And Cambria - Three Evils (Embodied in Love and Shadow)
"Oh Boy. This band gets a lot of love around here, but it can't be because this song."
I didn't like this song at all. The vocals absolutely blow, and honestly this song made me feel uncomfortable.
3. Indiscipline...Tony Iommi-Just Say No To Love
"Literally the worst vocal in this roulette...and that's saying something."
Pretty sure this IS actually Tiny Iommi, Tony's suck ass little brother. I don't know who in the hell Peter Steele is but he blows.
2. Kingshmegland...Kings X-It's Love
"I don't even like this band, and this song did not change my mind."
This song is absolutely terrible. The only thing that keeps it above Kate Fucking Bush is some decent guitar work towards the end.
1. Seneca...Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love
"No offence, but I cannot fathom why you would send this to me. No disrespect"
See First Impression.
-
I question everything about you not liking King's X. Hot damn man.
-
:o
I mean I love this song dearly, but I expected to score like nine places lower. :lol
-
I can’t stand King’s X. It’s like. Rock n roll boy band was way overproduced vocals.
They are so boring.
Seems Seneca points are more important than TAC points!
-
:o
I mean I love this song dearly, but I expected to score like nine places lower. :lol
It was a real nice song and blew the Dire Straits out of the water. The competition was pretty weak here.

I love this result. I'm afraid I'gonna hate the next one :D

Figures I finally ace a round when I stop sending stuff I like! I know what that says about my tastes. :lol

I wish Seneca would send me something he didn’t like.
I’m kidding. I appreciate it.
-
What would the headspace have gotten if it wasn't secretly banned? :P
I'll accept that tho. Middle of the crap pack :metal

Airball, my friend.
-
Alright, I can live with my score. And I'm pleasantly surprised that Pain Of Salvation got a good score. But on King's X you're just wrong. ;D
-
You said one of those other shitty songs was like "Pre-Ezrin Alice Cooper". That's EXACTLY why I went with Peter Gabriel. I know yuo hate Genesis, but it's an upbeat song and it sounds like almost NOTHING else in the Gabriel's (or Genesis') catalogue. It's all Ezrin. Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner (I don't know if Wagner is on that particular song) are all over that record and it shows.
-
I wish Seneca would send me something he didn’t like.
No you don't. That's exactly the problem that you're dealing with.
Songs I don't like enough to send in a roulette, and never thought I would:
Stratovarius - Halcyon Days
Glen Hansard - Why Woman
Emilie Autumn - Fight Like a Girl
Tool - Right in Two
David Gray - What Am I Doing Wrong?
Leprous - Moon
Thrice - Black Sun
Marillion - White Paper
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
Definitely the song I sent for Hate (the worst one yet. I'll be offended if it doesn't come in last!)
That's 10 out of 13 (including the wild card). And it's not that I think these are all bad songs. I think the Tool, Glen Hansard, Leprous, and Thrice songs are all pretty solid. Just not great for a roulette introduction. I mean look—I've definitely sent some of these artists in the past, but never these songs :lol
-
Yeah, TAC, you complain about the quality of songs in the roulette but that's a problem your themes caused, as I called out on literally the first page of this thread :P
-
i'm not sure I necessarily agree with that. I've struggled with the themes a little, but only because 98% of my CD collection overlaps with TACs. I'm having FAR more trouble with every band I like being on the banned list than the theme thing. Look, no offense, but about half these bands were sent in my roulette too, and I can vouch: some are not very good. Or let's be diplomatic: they aren't for everyone's tastes.
I went on my iTunes and searched "Love"; I got over 4,000 hits. Then I narrowed it to "song only" and realized that it was including album titles, band titles, and even players, so I got everything that Roger Glover - G-LOVE-R - wrote, and I STILL got over 1,500. If you can't find one decent song out of 1,500 that you stand behind - even if TAC hates it - then I'm not sure what to tell you.
-
I've definitely had to send some duds that I otherwise would never have sent in a roulette.
@Stadler: I have lots of songs with love in the title that I love. The problem is, TAC likes heavy metal, and you add in the banned list, and, well... not very many picks left. My collection spans over 20k songs from all sorts of genres, but if it ain't metal or at least hard rock, TAC's probably gonna dislike it (see the writeup for Kate Bush, although she's weird enough in her own ways). I don't think I have a hundred songs with 'love' in the title, nevermind 1500.
-
Well that's the fun part of roulettes. You send the song you love, then call the guy hosting it a fucking idiot, or you blame his secretary for forwarding on the wrong song.
:D
-
You also gotta realize that you've had decades more time to build up a music library than some of us :P
-
Forgive me Stads, but I'm not going to comb through a thousands songs on iTunes until I discover one that works for TAC. I just don't have the time for that. I'd much rather send songs that I'm not wild about from artists that I think are quite good on the whole. Because I do vouch for the artists, even Kate Bush.
All I'm saying is that it's silly to diss the songs as if they were my first choices. I could easily come up with ten songs for each of the artists listed above. Would they score well? Probably not. But that's just a taste issue, like you said.
-

Nah, I'm saying his taste sucks.
Love you Tim. :lol
-
You also gotta realize that you've had decades more time to build up a music library than some of us :P
oh SNAP!
Now get off my lawn!
-
Also, on the topic of taste, TAC won my last roulette handily!
-
I kinda agree with Parama and Seneca in the sense that TAC shouldn't be pissed off at what he gets. But at the same time, I think the themes are fun, and something different. I wouldn't want every roulette to be like this, and there are certainly songs that I would have preferred to send over the ones I did send, but I think this is fun.
But to Stadler - I disagree that not having enough songs with a certain word in the title is something that you need to say "I'm not sure what to tell you" about. You have that many songs with Love in the title - great! Mine was less than 100. And so? That doesn't really say anything about either of our collections other than you happen to have more songs with love in the title.
-
Nah, can't figure TAC pissed off. He's busting chops.
'Cause it's fun
And a game.
-
Yes it's a game and no he's not pissed off. BUT I AM >:(
I all seriousness though, I'm looking forward to the last two rounds. I'll be sending lower scoring songs that I really love, similar to the Damien Rice song earlier.
-
Nah, can't figure TAC pissed off. He's busting chops.
'Cause it's fun
And a game.
He is busting chops. What I like sometimes is his thing.
I just think he's been hit in the head a few many times.
-
Well, I think every musician in the 70s was obliged to release at least five songs with 'love' in the title, so Stadler got it easy there. But I want to see just how many songs he has with 'dragon' in the name! Good luck, Gene! :loser:
(I also want to be clear I love the themes and this roulette is very fun.)
-
The last two rounds are me coincidentally getting to send a lot of the kind of stuff I've wanted to send all roulette
This round is the last sucky one
-
Also, on the topic of taste, TAC won my last roulette handily!
I believe I won the first one a few years I ago. I believe you juts held one when you returned and I think I got eliminated fairly early. :lol
Yes it's a game and no he's not pissed off. BUT I AM >:(
I all seriousness though, I'm looking forward to the last two rounds. I'll be sending lower scoring songs that I really love, similar to the Damien Rice song earlier.
No of course I'm not pissed off.
I hear you Nelson,. Seems we may not be connecting, that's all. I totally appreciate your entries despite the scores. I'm thrilled you signed up to participate.
…..not directed at Seneca...but I have a
Newsflash
I don't hold roulettes to discover music. I hold roulettes to interact and meet people.
My first roulette was all my metal regular friends. These guys I consider my DTF circle. In fact Wolfking won it!
For my second roulette, I told them to stay out, and I only accepted guys that I had basically literally no interactions with before. Total strangers. But after that, and then playing in their respective roulettes and doing pretty well generally, it's been a fantastic experience, getting to know them a little.
What I like about this roulette, which is easily my favorite, is that it's a great mix of my old school friends and my new school ones. Plus a few guys that hadn't participated in either of the first two roulettes.
This has easily been my best roulette in terms of music sent, albums already purchased, and yuks had.
-
Furthermore! ;D
I know there were a few words that some of you have been trouble finding songs for, but I don't remember anyone complaining that LOVE was one of them. I was just surprised that it was such a weak round. My chastising is indeed, all in good fun.
I've definitely had to send some duds that I otherwise would never have sent in a roulette.
@Stadler: I have lots of songs with love in the title that I love. The problem is, TAC likes heavy metal, and you add in the banned list, and, well... not very many picks left.

I don't think I have a hundred songs with 'love' in the title, nevermind 1500.
Yeah, you never know. In a vacuum of a roulette round, you just never know how a song will touch someone. I got Steam Powered Giraffes in my last roulette and I thought it was great. :lol

I hear you Nelson,. Seems we may not be connecting, that's all. I totally appreciate your entries despite the scores. I'm thrilled you signed up to participate.
And I'm glad I chose to participate, too. I really am. Bring on the Hate :biggrin:
-
Yeah, TAC, you complain about the quality of songs in the roulette but that's a problem your themes caused, as I called out on literally the first page of this thread :P
I shared this initial thought, but once we got going, I found the themes even though limiting choices quite a bit, made me explore more and send much more interesting stuff then I normally would. If this was a normal roulette, I would probably send Tim Firewind type basic metal over and over again and we'd both get bored. Never would I have ever thought to send Children of Bodom in a roulette and look how that panned out.
Also as Stadler said, so much of our catalogs overlap which limits the choices anyway.
That Firewind song winning the round shows the level. Very surprised with the POS ranking and happy with mine. That album is worth a listen Tim. There is some slightly more metal type stuff on there. Nice Alice Cooper Generation Landslide cover also to boot.
-
I kinda agree with Parama and Seneca in the sense that TAC shouldn't be pissed off at what he gets. But at the same time, I think the themes are fun, and something different. I wouldn't want every roulette to be like this, and there are certainly songs that I would have preferred to send over the ones I did send, but I think this is fun.

You have that many songs with Love in the title - great! Mine was less than 100. And so? That doesn't really say anything about either of our collections other than you happen to have more songs with love in the title.
I disagree, would make things boring as fuck if he did the old 'at least you guys tried.' approach. Fuck that, I love how he gets into it. If people are getting pissed for Tim getting pissed because of the themes limiting choices then you shouldn't be playing. The songs getting sent are still songs and they should at least have some level of standard. Yes it's hard but it's still easy enough to find something that he would remotely like if you try hard enough. That's my 2 cents.
-
Yeah, and I'm not even pissed! :lol
-
I didn't mean pissed off as if he's buying copies of the cds these songs are on just so he can rip them out of the cd player in his car and then throw them out the window! :P
I was just in general agreeing with the "don't complain" sentiment when we have some limitations. And note - I'm not complaining about said limitations; I think it's different. It's just that sometimes, you're going to get a Royal Hunt song that I've never even heard. :P
-
It's all good, man.

Even though I don't have thousands of love songs like Stadler, I didn't really have too much trouble with love - I had way less songs with hate. And I really like the Eldritch song I sent you; I might not send it in a normal roulette, but I quite enjoy it. Death on the other hand, I'm struggling with - it'll be fine... either I'll find something I like well enough, or I'll send the band that you *didn't* mention a few pages ago.... ;)

Also, how awesome was the show? :)
The show was great!! Bummed we got Paralyzed instead of FITL though.
So I took yesterday off from the roulette for the concert. My plan is to get going on the writeups and maybe get Stadler the rankings in the morning. So Hate Results will be tomorrow.
-
I'm gonna hate these results :metal

I hate the wait to learn my fate. I'm not a rapper

Major Announcement
So with all of the bellyaching about the restrictive themes I have decided to do.....
I have a MAJOR ROULETTE Announcement this afternoon.
BONUS ROUND!!
:jamaritard:
Have I been fired? I've been fired, haven't I.
Can I at least clean out my desk? Don't put that stuff in a box! And every picture ought to be there, right where I left them! I'm not kidding!
Your contract has been extended for another week!
I couldn't decide on what to call this Bonus Round. I was torn between the Crybaby Round, or the Blue Balls Round.
In the end I decided I'd call it a....
Bonus Round
As with the previous rounds, you will send TWO songs.
There will be TWO catagories:
Crybaby and Blue Balls
This is an OPEN round. No Themes!
Also, you CAN send any band that was previously sent in this roulette regardless of the score it received.
BUT, NO Wildcards™ will be allowed for this round.
Just tell Stadler what song you want to be included with the Crybabies and which one of your songs will be Blue Balled.
-
This is an OPEN round. No Themes!
But then, who or what do I blame for scoring low?
-
Called it. :2metal:
Is this the next round then?
-
So just send whatever? Rad. Was just gonna do that at the end anyways :metal
One more round gives me a chance to think I stand a chance and then lose anyways :metal
-
Called it. :2metal:
Is this the next round then?
No fool. There's two more rounds and then we'll have a 9th (and final) Bonus Round TACked onto the end.
-
How TACky. :lol
-
Gonna send atTACk atTACk :metal
-
How TACky. :lol
;D
That was pretty bad, I must admit. :lol
-
Tim was not very TACful with this. :lol
-
Wait, so you mean I can send Behemoth again? :hefdaddy
How do the categories work if it's an open round?
-
They're just because TAC will be stack ranking each category as usual, I assume, no other meaning
-
They're just because TAC will be stack ranking each category as usual, I assume, no other meaning
I accept this challenge to find songs that are about crying babies and blue balls.
-
They're just because TAC will be stack ranking each category as usual, I assume, no other meaning
I accept this challenge to find songs that are about crying babies and blue balls.
Songs about your youth?

:lol
How do the categories work if it's an open round?
Just send two songs. No Themes. Just designate which song will be grouped with the Babies for scoring and which will be grouped with the Balls.
-
So random, but I like it. Shame you purchased all the COB. ;D
I might actually look at bands I used that might have missed the mark. Do potentially a redo of 2 of the previous categories with those bands, but obviously putting them under the new categories. Or say it was tough to choose between two 'moon' songs, send the other one. something like that.
Or just send two more Behemoth songs.
-
Or just send two more Behemoth songs.
:lol
I would also encourage anyone that has not used their Wild Cards™ to use them in the next two rounds. No sense letting them go to waste.
-
yup, i got my wildcard used and i hope it makes you make an actually tough call for once since both the songs i sent are ones i've had pegged from the start for this roulette :metal
-
I'll be shocked. The Wild Cards always seem to be very easy choices. I hope you're right though.
-
both of the songs are near crashing black moon-levels of "up your alley" in my opinion, though one of them is my top pick from the album it's on while the other, i wouldn't say is the top pick but it's a good one regardless
-
I'll be using mine eventually.
-
Results have been sent to Stadler. I'm off tomorrow, so as soon as I get them back, I'll post them.
If anyone hasn't yet sent for the next round, please do so.
Remember the themes for the next round are:
Dark and Light
Gonna ponder who sent what for the Hate songs. Will post guesses (and I do mean guesses) shortly.
-
Manilla Road-Elite
Norther-Evermind
Electric Wizard-Seneca
Halford-Wolfking
Steve Lukather-Kwyjibo
King's X-Kingshmegland
Sepultura-Indiscipline
Cheap Trick-Stadler
Orion Child-Lethean
Palehorse-Parama
Angra-Kattelox
Dark Empire-Puppies
Totally clueless on these. you guys did a great job masking your entries.
-
Nope, but that's a very good guess. I am amused.
-
yeahp
i have never actually listened to the version you were apparently listening to, though? i sent an mp3 copy of the amendfoil version to you which i can only assume sounds better than what you were listening to since every other song off that album i've checked out sounded better on the amendfoil record but
-
Nope, but that's a very good guess. I am amused.
Gee..that's too bad...for you. ;D
Wolfking would be my second choice for Angra. Or maybe Lethean. :lol
yeahp

I didn't have an issue with how it sounded. Unless the song or arrangement was actually different, I don't think it would've made much difference.
-
fair :P
it's just rerecorded to my understanding so i doubt the difference is huge
it was either try to slip that one in or send a porcupine tree song for me, tbh
-
I'm assuming Temple of Hate did well. That's a fantastic song especially with Kai Hansen on vox. I thought about sending them but I was under the impression Angra was banned. Whoops. :lol
-

"...…... One of my favorite musicians is present."
-
Wrong on mine.
I haven't sent yet, will do so in ~15 hours.
-
I'm glad someone sent it, but it wasn't me. It's definitely better than what I did send. :)
(Referring to Angra)
-
I'm glad someone sent it, but it wasn't me. It's definitely better than what I did send. :)
(Referring to Angra)
It was me!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA :xbones
It's my favorite Angra song, no contest. I hope it actually did well.... :corn
-
oh wow i somehow never saw you already had sunless dawn banned
hell yeah :metal but that was like one of the top picks i was saving for post-roulette submissions turned bonus round. oh well i got others :corn
edit: nvm the last bit of this i'm gonna be stupid
-
I'm glad someone sent it, but it wasn't me. It's definitely better than what I did send. :)

I hope so too. :)
-
obvious one is obvious
now destroy me with your Lukather rant ;) :metal
-
sent for next round
TAC, do you know the movie From Dusk Till Dawn?
-
Manilla Road-Elite
Never heard of this band
-
I thought from my comments that it would have been quite clear that I didn't send the Halford. I'm really bot into reverse physcology shit.
-
I will have to send in 24 hours. I totally forgot about the wildcard. It's just for one song hey?
-
Manilla Road-Elite
Never heard of this band
A total guess. I couldn't tie anyone to any band. Nothing stood out to me.
I thought from my comments that it would have been quite clear that I didn't send the Halford. I'm really bot into reverse physcology shit.
Yeah, I thought about that, but I didn't bother searching through the thread for the comment. The only other song I considered for you was the Sepultura. But I had convinced myself that Indiscipline sent that.
The Love songs were easy. I got 10 out of 12. I'm probably going to get 2 out of 12 for the Hate songs.
I will have to send in 24 hours. I totally forgot about the wildcard. It's just for one song hey?
yeah, if you are torn between two songs, send them both and I'll pick the best.
-
TAC, do you know the movie From Dusk Till Dawn?
I don't. I just googled it. Looks horrible. Vampire strippers? :lol
-
Just got the results back from Stadler. I'll post them shortly.
STADLER-CLEAR OUT YOUR INBOX!
-
They're just because TAC will be stack ranking each category as usual, I assume, no other meaning
I accept this challenge to find songs that are about crying babies and blue balls.
That was my first thought. :0
-
INBOX ALL CLEAR! INBOX ALL CLEAR!
For some reason, I had like twice as many PMs for the Love/Hate round as for any other. Just for the record, Kwyjibo and Senecadawg2 are fast becoming my favorite posters here. In six rounds, I've literally gotten six PMs from each, and they are as sparse and spartan as a new set of bed sheets (speaking of which, thanks Bob, for the nice gift!)
(I'm kidding; I love the behind the scenes interaction. Seriously!)
-
Is Seneca PMing you everyday to say "TAC is an asshole!"? :lol
-
HATE
12. Puppies On Acid...Angra - Temple Of Hate
"Yeah, this song is excellent. One of my favorite musicians is present."
Easily the song of the round. Some great guitar playing on this. And damn! Kai Hansen. I love that guy. The only thing that would make this song better would be if Michael Kiske sang the chorus. This song rocks though.
11. Evermind...Dark Empire-What Men Call Hatred
"Nice and heavy I like it."
I really liked this song. I will absolutely be checking this album out. The growls aren't too intrusive. Really nice guitar playing
10. Wolfking...Norther - The Hate I Bear
"Nice and heavy. Great melodic outro"
This song started off pretty good. Not a fan of the vocals, but damn, there's some great guitar playing on this. I like the music very much here.
9. Lethean...Halford-The One You Love To Hate
"Boy, and I bet you think you're a slick motherfucker, don't you?"
This song actually grew on me a bit. At first, I didn't really think it as anything special. Bruce sounds great here and in this style, Bruce and Rob sound a bit alike. Kind of threw me for a loop at first. Not a great song but quite enjoyable nonetheless.
8. Senecadawg2...Sepultura - Stronger That Hate
"Indiscipline sent this."
This was a great choice. Nice old school thrash. I've never gotten into Sepultura because of the vocals. But I may have to go back and give them a solid look. This is rifftastic.
7. Stadler...Cheap Trick--I Love You Honey But I Hate Your Friends
"I have no idea where this will rank. It's really not that great."
I closed my eyes and pretended I was listening to Aerosmith instead, and it seemed to enhance my enjoyment.
6. Indiscipline...Manilla Road-Sword Of Hate
"I don't even know what to say about this. That was weird."
This song needs a better production. It was like listening to old Black Sabbath, but hell, even that sounded better. I really enjoyed the drumming in this song. If you get past the sonic issues this song has, it's actually pretty good.
5. Kattelox...Orion Child-The Hatred Of My Race
"I find it hard to believe that someone actually listens to this band. It's actually not bad considering the competition."
Lots to chew on in this song. They sound Japanese to me. But this is really solid, and I actually liked it with each listen. Add this to the list of albums to check out. Very interesting.
4. Parama...Palehorse - Odious
"Mediocris, which is Latin for "meh".
This song has a degree of fun in it. It's fairly easy on the ears. I like the little section that starts around 3:50. A little Angus Young-like. Also right after the "Meet you maker, bow down" part. Even though I like a couple of parts, overall I'm not in love with this song though, but this band seems interesting.
3. Kwyjibo...Steve Lukather - Love The Things You Hate
"With no prejudice whatsoever involved..I don't think I like this."
For a guy who is supposed to be really good, he makes really crappy music. Plus I think he's a douche.
2. Kingshmegland..Kings X-Hate You
"Well, that was a big bucket of nothing."
This is really bad. I'm not sure which King's X song I dislike the most. The best thing about it is that it's only 3 minutes long.
1. Elite..Electric Wizard - We Hate You
"This sounds like something I would've recorded in my buddy's basement when I was 14."
I can't say I was too crazy about this.

TAC, do you know the movie From Dusk Till Dawn?
I don't. I just googled it. Looks horrible. Vampire strippers? :lol
Doesn't matter if the stripper is Salma Hayek ;D :metal :hefdaddy
I thought about sending that song from that movie but thought you'd probably know it. But that song just works better with the video and you would probably hate it anyway, it's not metal enough. ;)
-
That's a '96 movie. I don't know anything or any song from any movie from 1996 on. :lol
-
3. Kwyjibo...Steve Lukather - Love The Things You Hate
"With no prejudice whatsoever involved..I don't think I like this."
For a guy who is supposed to be really good, he makes really crappy music. Plus I think he's a douche.
No surprise there, goes in line with the Toto score. Just shows that you have no heart and no taste. But he's not supposed to be really good, he's really great, but I sometimes think he's a douche too.
-
:lol
No heart LOL
Ah Tim. Alright. I'll send tonight.
-
Just for the record, Kwyjibo and Senecadawg2 are fast becoming my favorite posters here. In six rounds, I've literally gotten six PMs from each, and they are as sparse and spartan as a new set of bed sheets.
My boss always told me to keep away from the secretary and that stuck. She had maybe as much face-paint as you, but you've got a better body. :D

Consistency is the way to win. :biggrin:

Oh of course, the band I have never heard before and don't like is the one you say you'll check out :rollin
Not bad. This was the worst round for me as far as submissions, so it's nice to be over that hill, next round will be very fun. Firewind helped me big time this round. But TAC... why do you think Luke is a douche??

Witn now 3 rounds to go, it looks like it's Evermind's to lose. He's got a Pup and a Wolf nipping at his heels (see what I did... ;D)
I saw that when I was doing the scores.
-
:lol

OK..so here's my Toto and Lukather rant...
The thing I hate about Toto is this. .now granted, I am not aware of any of their album cuts.
But apparently they are all supposed to be amazing musicians right? Well to me, I would never know that from what I've heard of them.
Kind of like hearing how great Dream Theater is but all you know is Forsaken and Wither.
To me I just feel like, from what I've heard, they play music that is frankly beneath their talent levels. I hate that. And I don't mean they need to play something heavy. They just need to play something interesting. Again, it's likely not my style of music, so perhaps I am missing it completely, but I feel like a band with virtuosic musicians should be stretching boundaries. Maybe they are. I have no idea, but nothing I have heard by them makes me feel that way.
As far as Lukather goes, I remember watching him crash a video of JP at NAMM a couple of years ago. My only thought was what a douche!
Here's the video I used for this round. I watched it once, but for the other 5 times I listened to the song, I couldn't look.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTbi57wXa6E&list=RDnTbi57wXa6E&start_radio=1
He looks like he wants to be some cool rocking dude. Well, don't play such pussy music.
I am sure it's a ME problem.. :lol
-
I disagree that just because a musician is ultra talented they need to stretch boundaries, but! that's an argument for another day. Also you know that NAMM video was in fun and good spirits right? Wtf :lol
TAC... since your themes don't allow this... please please listen to this if you want to hear them actually doing something a bit over-the-top and almost proggy.
Jake to the Bone
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtb-wg5Silw
P.S. "Pussy music" - I'm not even going to start. You like Thin Lizzy, motherfucker! :lol
-
I'll listen to that song. Remember there is an open round added to the end of this roulette too!
Thin Lizzy was the real deal, man. They weren't virtuosic musicians masquerading as pop stars. One of the things I like about them was their musical integrity.
-
Yeah but this way I get to squeeze this in without wasting a round. :neverusethis:
And Thin Lizzy is for dads whose doctors told them they can't headbang anymore.
-
Improvement!
Sending in seconds, trying to smuggle in your favourite musician.
-

All is right with the world in this round. I'm glad you won it Puppies. :)
TAC, there's awesome guitar playing to be found in a ton of Angra songs. I hope you explore them after the roulette is done.
-

I think I will. I'm not crazy about bands that change singers. I've heard some of their stuff, and I guess it's just a matter of Too many bands, So little time kind of thing. I'm going to start with this album though.
-
Dude, I think you might have been right after all... I don't even know who Sepultura is!
Also, I enjoy that you guessed Electric Wizard for me, presumably on account of it being your least favorite :lol

Toto is not about showing off their technicality, although ironically they often get accused of being too technical by the "music press". :D So if you want flashy, you have to look somewhere else. And before someone makes that comment, that is not a judgement about what is better, it's just that it's different.
Their musicianship is much more subtle, some things sound simple enough till you try to recreate it, and it just doesn't work. I've heard a million drummers play the Rosanna shuffle groove but only a handful come close in groove and feeling.
Steve Lukather isn't on the technical level of JP or other guitar heroes, but his ability to play almost every kind of music and still sound like himself, his phrasing, his sense of melody and improvisation, his vibrato, the countless memorable solos etc. make him my guitar player number 1a (1b is Eddie Van Halen). But I know that all of this comes down to tastes, so if you don't like it, you don't like it and it's okay.
-
I'm going to drag Tim to the roof.........
-
I'm going to drag Tim to the roof.........
Just can't get to Tim.

"Plus I think he's a douche." made me snarf coffee.
I don't know that Luke ISN'T at the level of JP. The man can play ANYTHING, and if you dig in and look at the catalogue of music that he has participated in (outside of Toto) it's almost unbelievable. But having said that, I get the criticism.
-
I'm going to drag Tim to the roof.........
Just can't get to Tim.
Taint Tim's World. :lol
-
King - did you consider Born to be Loved instead of It's Love? TAC probably wouldn't like it either but maybe a live version of that would have gone over a little better... For me, King's X is a better live band than studio.
-
Dude, I think you might have been right after all... I don't even know who Sepultura is!
Also, I enjoy that you guessed Electric Wizard for me, presumably on account of it being your least favorite :lol

Don’t worry. I’ll be here to take the bad score.

Oh it's all good. I don't know anything about him really. I am more than willing to concede he's a great guitar player.
One of my favorite guitar players is Michael Schenker, but more than half of his catalog is garbage.
I want my guitar players PLAYING!!!!!
"...for the sake of the song.." is fine for a bit, but fucking PLAY will you!!!!
That's how I feel about Lukather.
-
Lukather achieved notability in the 1970s and 1980s as one of the most sought-after session guitarists in Los Angeles,[20] playing with a wide range of artists from Aretha Franklin to Warren Zevon.[20][21] He has performed on over 1,500 records spanning 36 years.[15] Music journalist Jude Gold noted, "It's hard to name a guitarist who has had a more prolific and fulfilling career than Steve Lukather."[20] Lukather credits fellow Toto members David Paich and Jeff Porcaro for getting him exposure in the industry—although he lamented in an April 2011 interview that opportunities for session musicians have curtailed in recent years: "There is no 'session guy' thing any more—not like it was. It's not like the old days when I was doing 25 sessions a week. All the studios are gone. The budgets are gone. The record companies are all gone."[15] His own output as a session musician has slowed along with the rest of the industry—as of 2009, Lukather stated he was only doing a few sessions a year.[14]
Named by Gibson Guitar Corporation as one of the Top 10 session guitarists of all time,[22] Lukather has performed on many notable tracks. He performed the guitar solo for Olivia Newton-John's popular 1981 single "Physical", which was Billboard's Number One single of the 1980s. Other notable session performances include Earth, Wind & Fire's Faces album soloing on the tracks "Back on the Road" and "You Went Away",[4] two tracks from the Lionel Richie album Can't Slow Down, and the Richard Marx album Repeat Offender.[23] Lukather and Jeff Porcaro were heavily involved in the recording of virtually all of Michael Jackson's Thriller.[4][14] In addition to recording guitar tracks, Lukather has also written or produced music for Lionel Richie, Richard Marx, Chicago, Donna Summer, and The Tubes.[23][24] He won a Grammy award in 1982 for the George Benson song "Turn Your Love Around".[8][24]
He played the rhythm guitar on Beat It. Eddie played the solo.
-
Guitarists who don't STFU are the worst. Serve the song, damn it. Hey, I think TAC's getting Rusty Cooley and Joe Stump next round :neverusethis:
-
No matter what I do, I can't seem to catch Evermind! :yeahright
That's because PoS suddenly scored an 11. I was sure I would tank with my love songs, even mentioned that to Stadler when I sent them.
Let's see if I have something good for this round though.
-
hell yeah we going for the low low scores :metal
-
He performed the guitar solo for Olivia Newton-John's popular 1981 single "Physical",

-
You do understand a role of a session player don't you Tim? :lol
-
Of course.
BTW, I pulled up that video and I'm still gouging my eyes out.
-
As a session player in the 80s he was kind of a music whore and he played on a lot of shit. But also on some really good records.
And now back to the roulette, I will not send Toto or Steve Lukather in the next round. But maybe Tears Of My Own Shame for the crybaby round. :laugh:
-
Focusing on Olivia Newton-John in workout clothes is understandable but misses the point. Yeah, he did that solo, but also appeared, uncredited, on at least three Van Halen albums. He's played with all of Asia and half of King Crimson. He's played on Steely Dan records. Toto was, essentially, the backup band for all of Thriller, not just Beat It.
Electric, acoustic, rock, metal, jazz, funk, blues... I wasn't kidding, he can play ANYTHING.
-
Yeah, he can play, but does he remember that time over at Johnny's place, where this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face?
-
Man, we fell about the place.
-
As far as Luke goes, if that chick don't want to know, forget her.
Oh, wait....
-
Luke is guitar royalty, and I get Tim.
The man doesn't shred, hence he often sneaks under the not-guitarhead lstener's radar, but his command of the instrument (and its expressive potential) is simply total. He moves inside a genre not providing obvious outlets for a guitar hero, just like other unsung guitar masters like Brian Setzer or Johnny Marr.
-
Sometimes when I want to walk in Tim's shoes I'll go to my music collection, strap on horse blinders and then pick an album I can see right in front of me in that metal section of my CD's. Then I'll get yelled at by my wife because I am not paying attention to her.

Guys, it's all good, if he don't like it, then he don't like it.
You could tell me 127 reasons why The Beatles are great and I would acknowledge their influence but would still find them boring as fuck.
That's just how tastes work.
-
I'm just busting Tim's chops.
I always joke that my tastes for beers are refined but I can't stand Starbucks. To each his own. Tim got me at the DT concert. It's all in good fun. I'm just hoping to catch him with something he'd never expect to like but does.

Sometimes when I want to walk in Tim's shoes I'll go to my music collection, strap on horse blinders and then pick an album I can see right in front of me in that metal section of my CD's. Then I'll get yelled at by my wife because I am not paying attention to her.
haha
With the NHL playoffs starting tonight, I told her I'll just see her in June! :lol
-
Get those blinders on! Lol

Kingshmegland suddenly regrets sending King's X twice in the same round...

Not the first time this has happened to me. Lol
-
I'm sure! :lol
-
That's such a perfect face on the Stadlertary :lol
-
I don't rate Lukather at all. Never understood the hype or his status in the guitar world. IMO, he's not that good.
-
Wolf man. If other guitarists throw accolades his was and so many use him on their songs I'd say the hype is real.

Everything I've heard from him from a guitar point of view has just been underwhelming and sloppy. I hate his tone too. I'm not saying other guitarists are wrong, I just clearly don't see what's so good about him. If anyone wants to post vids to try and change my view, I'll gladly check them out.

This has always been a favorite song to see live from Toto.

Apparently Toto is metal!

Sent for the Dark/Light Round
-
This has always been a favorite song to see live from Toto.
https://youtu.be/WajpbhY6CE4
Yeah, that didn't change my opinion. The ending solo was all over the place, sloppy and really didn't fit IMO. Crap tone and his shredding is very stiff and not very fluent. I don't know, I guess I just don't see what others do.
Man, I never realized Work of Art basically rip Toto off directly with every song. Wow.
-
When I die, I'm haunting all ya'll with a boombox on my shoulders that blasts Lukather tunes.
-
You're already haunting us, so you must be the first dead DTF member to participate in a roulette.
-
So the Light/Dark Round is officially underway.
Stadler sent me the half the songs, 6 in each round, as he has been doing.
Seemed two people used Wild Cards for the Light Round.
One set of two were fairly close. The other set of two...I eliminated the first one before I even listened to the second. :lol
What I love about you guys is the diversity, because these two sets of songs could not be more different. I was literally laughing out loud.
Please don't anyone allude to sending Wild Cards.
-
You know it's not me, since I already used my wildcard up. My songs were really different, but for me it wasn't a case of "these songs are so close I can't possibly choose between one." It was rather "I'm afraid TAC might hate this one, so let's send this other one too." :)
-
I was made an offer to use my wildcard some rounds ago I couldn't resist. :D
-
That's such a perfect face on the Stadlertary :lol
I laughed out loud at the Principal, peering out from behind his desk! THat's hilarious!
As for Lukather, I'm not an expert, but I do like that recent live set that Toto released from... Poland or some shit, released, I'd say about two years or so ago.
-

35th anniversary show in Poland! That's one of their best. Awesome show, awesome set.

Everyone in yet?
-
I'm in for every round left already :metal
-
Waiting on three, by my count.
-
Waiting on three, by my count.
Please excuse the bad form of quoting myself, but it's actually two and one half. Someone sent in a dupe for one of the theme words, and I asked them to resend.
-
*fist pumps the air*
I was afraid my 'dark' submission would already be taken, and apparently I lucked out. Sweet. Hope TAC digs the dark side of the tunes.
-
My light tune is darker than my dark one, tbh :P
Light was a really powerful word, I spent all of the last plug session just lpaying rad tunes with light in their name :lol

You're like that one dentist out of 5 that doesn't recomend Colgate.

:rollin
I know right. :lol

Pretty sure I'm in, unless I accidentally sent my PM to the wrong person.....
-
Like sending a text and then freaking out when you sent it to the wrong person. Lol
-
Pretty much, except I have no idea who I sent the PM to because I forgot to check the little box. I'm just hoping it went to Stadler....
-
Well, hopefully I get the rest of the songs in the morning. I'll be home at 2:00, so maybe hangman by 2:30.
-
All sent; sorry for the delay, I had a peel this morning and a slot at the tanning booth opened up.
-
Do bangman
-
I literally just sat down with my laptop so it should be up shortly.
-
:corn :corn :corn

We're going to do Dark first because someone has to resend a Light song. I missed it this morning.

Here is the Dark Playlist:
https://open.spotify.com/user/tacdtf/playlist/39USwtN09Va7E929Akdc6z?si=w4RClNCORNyt0WV3q7pm5A
Here are my on the spot instant first listen impressions:
"A bit long, but it ends pretty strong."
"This song is..um..solid."
"Gee, not much to this one."
"Gee, too much to this one."
"Now that is Old School."
"I'm not crazy about this, but I'm still not convinced I couldn't get into this band."
"Some great classic guitar rock."
"This is..um..solid"
"This was pretty moody. It's going to need some more listens"
"Short and sweet"
"The reason I tolerate growls is because of music like this."
"Not my style of metal. At all."
-

Nope.
And I would like to add that this is an excellent round. There is no song that I dislike. After three listens there is a hierarchy starting to form, but I's going to be pretty tough to stack these.
-
hope you love my light song :metal
lightman once you get the resubmit?
also:
hangman early guess:
the protomen - the state vs. thomas light

Protomen are banned. Seneca sent an awesome tune by them in the first round.
Lightman tomorrow afternoon/evening.
-
oh :corn
i haven't listened to the album yet but it's on the docket after i get through the other stuff on my list atm
-
I highlighted it earlier in the thread. I didn't love it. But Light Up The Night was a great song.
-
Mine is probably the last one, or one of the others.
-
Mine is probably the last one
That’s what I was thinking. ;D
-
When do we get resluts :corn
-
Dark Results likely tomorrow and Light Results in Wednesday.
I need a couple more listens and I’ll do writeups hopefully tonight. Then I’ll send Results off to Stadler.
Light Hanging tonight.

what did i tell ya
also
Persefone - Aathma Pt. III: One With the Light
I listened to this album literally this morning! Spiritual Migration is a lot better. Nothing on it is eligible for any round though so fair. I'm pretty sure you were sent these guys in your last roulette and I thought they were banned because you really dug that song but guess not :P
-
wondering if someone sent Last of the Light in the other round too :corn that's a good one
Last Of The Light was not sent, but I am still waiting for another song..

I know who sent Damnation Angels. And White Lion... FFS, whoever sent that might as well have sent Poison while they were at it.

Just sent the Dark results off to Stadler for verification.
Here are my guesses:
Obsidian Kingdom Elite
Thrice - The Dark Seneca
Killswitch Engage Kwyjibo
Magnus Karlsson's Free Fall Lethean or Kattelox
Serenity Kattelox or Lethean
Khonsu Parama

Pretty sure that's too bad for you. ;D
Unless you sent one of the Wintersun songs..
I didn't see anything else there for you.
-
Also Khonsu features members from Keep of Kalessin IIRC, they're basically just the space metal version of that band :corn
I really like the first khonsu album (there are lots of songs better than the one I sent on the album, tbh) but the second one is kind of eehhh

I like what I've heard from KoK.
-
I bring it up cause you sent me them in my album roulette :P
They're cool too. The two albums I have both have a fair number of bangers
-
I don't even know how you remember that someone sent me Persefone in my last roulette. That's amazing.
I think that roulette was the start to really opening up to harsh vocals. I didn't really follow up on much, but it was the exposure. Over the past year playing in all y'all's roulettes, It's really opened my eyes and ears.
I'll definitely be following up with them, which should make Wolfking very happy. ;D
-
I only remember because I remember it scoring real highly :lol
Also really interested in the Light results especially bcuz that was the one where I'd be floored if you didn't like what I sent
-

nah that's not true, i've voiced my lack of confidence in plenty of songs this roulette but this was a case where i got to send an artist i've been dying to send all roulette :metal
-
Got mine right! :tup :corn

Apparently not hearing back from Stadler tonight. We'll likely do Dark results in the morning and Light results tomorrow night.
See what I did? ;D

Here are the Light First Immediate Impressions
Not sure if they shed any light :neverusethis:
"This is definitely a cool tune. Kind of Pink Floydish. Not sure how it's going to stack up though."
"I find symphonic elements very distracting and unnecessary. This song was decent enough on its own."
"This song kind of won me over in the end, but damn, it took forever to get there."
"This is a really cool song. The competition is tough though."
"Oh, that reminds me, I have to go to the bathroom"
"So the best thing I could say about this song is that it reminds me of when I was young."
"Gee, I thought Chad wasn't playing."
"This song is pretty chill, bookended by some serious noise."
"Definitely a solid tune. I should like this band more than I do though."
"This is kind of uneven. I generally liked the instrumental part. But those vocals.."
"What really makes this song is the last four minutes of instrumental bliss"
"Wolfking sent this."
-
"Gee, I thought Chad wasn't playing."
"Wolfking sent this."[/i]
one of these :metal
-
Bathroom tunes :2metal:
-
Nope, I didn't send Wintersun.
-
I'll definitely be following up with them, which should make Wolfking very happy. ;D
Indeed :metal
And yes, I sent Wintersun, but not the one I wanted to send. Someone got in first.
-
Nope, I didn't send Wintersun.
I reckon you sent Magnus?
-
Yep on Killswitch Engage and no idea what impression could be my light song.
These could all fit

Didn't even come into my realm of thinking. I guess when I'm focussing on growls it wouldn't.

I did send Darkness by Obisidian Kingdom indeed.
-
why that and not oncoming dark? :corn
-
ooh, good question
-
Is 'live' or 'living' accepted for the next round? I'm guessing not.
And is 'die' allowed?
-
I'll definitely be following up with them, which should make Wolfking very happy. ;D

Dark Results
12. Wolfking...Wintersun-Awaken From The Dark Slumber
"A bit long, but it ends pretty strong."
This song is fantastic, and will get me to check this band out. An epic tune in every way. I actually thought the clean vocals were fantastic. It never felt like a fourteen minute song. I could really get lost in this. Song of the round for sure.
11. Evermind...Magnus Karlsson's Free Fall - Out Of The Dark
"This song is..um..solid."
A solid track that doesn't have anything to really talk about. It's pretty straightforward and very enjoyable. I really like the vocalist.
10. Lethean...Serenity - From Where Dark Is Born
"This is..um..solid"
I liked this song. I may have to revisit this band. I have fallen Santuary, and remember really liking it when it came out. I never really followed up with them. I may have to change that.
9. Parama...Khonsu - Darker Days Coming
"Gee, too much to this one."
There's a lot going on in this song. I really like pretty much all of it except the chorus (I guess you would call it..) where the guy in the harsh voice comes in with the song's title. It's like Sinister Dropkick Murphys. Productionwise, I love the drum sound, especially the ride cymbal.
8. Stadler...Nektar - Crying In The Dark
"Now that is Old School."
I love old music like this. Nektar is famous for their connection to Iron Maiden, both in the King Of Twilight cover as well as the Hallowed Be Thy Name lawsuit. The instrumental part in this is fantastic.
7. Puppies...Woe Of Tyrants - Kingdom of Might (Dawn In The Darkness)
"The reason I tolerate growls is because of music like this."
I loved the music on this. My biggest complaint is that it's a bit dense. I feel like the singer needs to STFU for a bit and let this amazing music breathe. It's not so much the growls as it is the percentage of growls to music.
6. Indiscipline...Mountain - Traveling In The Dark
"Some great classic guitar rock."
Really awesome tune. Old School. I only know Mississippi Queen from Mountain. I wasn't really sure what to expect here, but this was fantastic. Real cool guitar work. Slightly repetitive vocals, but who cares.
5. Kattelox...Wintersun - Beyond The Dark Sun
"Short and sweet"
There is some mad riffing on this. This one gets right to the point. The only problem with it is that there's no depth to it and it never breathes. Once it ends, my ears are just tired, and there's really no lasting feeling.
4. Elite...Obsidian Kingdom - Darkness
"This was pretty moody. It's going to need some more listens"
With a name like Obsidian Kingdom, I couldn't wait to hear this. It's a cool enough song, but nothing in it really jumped out and grabbed me. It seems to linger a bit too long in the middle with no real climax.
3. Kingshmegland...Thrice - The Dark
"I'm not crazy about this, but I'm still not convinced this band is not for me."
Another Thrice song...seems someone is a glutton for punishment. This band just doesn't stand out in a roulette style format. I would have no problem investigating them further, but I get the feeling that they are a more album based band. It just not a style I gravitate to. But I think this band has a lot to offer.
2. Sececadawg2...Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Follow You Into The Dark
"Gee, not much to this one."
This is definitely a pleasant little song. It's pretty simple and there's not much to say about it. I feel like if I could connect to it, it would be far more meaningful. Unfortunately I'm not sure 5 or 6 listens enables that to happen.
1. Kwyjibo...Killswitch Engage - When Darkness Falls
"Not my style of metal. At all."
Those vocals in the verses kill me. I like the chorus a lot though. I wish the rest of the song retained some of that melody. But those verses are literally unlistenable.
-
Hey, it's all good, but boy do I disagree with that! I wouldn't have imagined a song under 3 minutes would leave your ears tired. Bit confused about the lack of depth comment, I always thought that was one of their best songs. Can't wait to be buried in the lightsults. :corn (My two cents, I f*#%ing hate that other Wintersun track, haha!)
-
definitely check out the album if you liked that one! tbh that's not even one of my favorites off the album, tracks 1, 4, and 7 are all way better but also not eligible :P

Gee, no wonder it was the winner! :lol :lol
-
I've done it again :metal
Oh, wait I was reading from the bottom. ;D
About what I expected after your comment, but believe me, if you can take growls, you can take screaming and the rest of it also, maybe it just takes some more time. ;)
-
It's really comes down to the music. There's frankly no growls I really like, but if the music is good enough, I've learned to live with it. When I say the verses are unlistenable it's the growls AND what's being played underneath it. I hate that Pantera style riffing.
-
The only thing I'm annoyed at is that Bad Modern Wintersun is going to have another fan and Good Old Wintersun got the finger. Too bad I can't fucking send Beautiful Death next round, thanks Kade. :lol :lol

"Gee, I thought Chad wasn't playing."

I have no idea which one I sent either :metal

I was thinking my song was one of the "solid" comments, but thought that meant the score would be worse. :)
I don't think my light song will do as well (but I like it better than the dark one).

Nothing ... I love 'em - even argued for Vito to be considered a Top-5 80s guitarist. I've used 'em before in Roulettes - and gotten promptly eliminated! :lol First, I know Tim will (most likely) shit all over them. Secondly, Light and Thunder is a pretty mediocre song.
-
A solid track that doesn't have anything to really talk about.
Look, it seems like a lot of the songs that you have a lot to talk about are being ranked in the bottom five, so I'm doing it a bit on a safer side for the most part. :biggrin:

Mike Tramp.
If I ever win the lottery, I'm going to call Vito Bratta and ask him if he would, for $1M, play an hour long set with Jack Russell singing. I'd then call Jack Russell and ask him if he would, for $10,000, play an hour long set with Vito Bratta.
-
:omg: No way.
If I ever win the lottery I'd pay Jack Russell 10.000$ if he promises not to sing anywhere near me. :D
-
I prefer Jack Russel to Mike Tramp.
-
And I prefer Kurt Russel to Jack Russel

Yeah, I liked the song. I was definitely into it, but it was surely a safe choice. I knew Kade didn't send it to me. I have the first Freefall album and thought it was pretty weak. And while this was relatively generic, it was generic in a good way.
-

Curses. Foiled again!

I have you scoring well in the next round if you sent what I think you sent.

I gotta thank Katt, I tried to send Beyond the Dark Sun but got cockblocked by you. :tup
After that, I still wanted to send Wintersun and even though it's a long one, I thought it might have been more up Tim's alley.

OK, I just sent the Light Results off to Stadler. I'll post them after dinner tomorrow night, approx 8:00PM EST.
I'm a day behind, so please try and get the Life & Death tracks in tomorrow. Stadler likes to cut out early n Fridays and I would like to be locked and loaded for the weekend.
Two more rounds to go.
Remember the last round is an OPEN round, and you may send bands that have been sent previously in this roulette, regardless of the score.
Just be sure to tell Stadler for the last round if you want your song in the Crybaby group or the Blue Balls group. Again, those are not the themes. It is an OPEN round.
Anyway, this was an excellent round which was very difficult to stack rank, especially the bottom half which is still a bunch of excellent tunes. This round hurts because I really liked all of the songs, including the ones in the bottom half. Unfortunately the stack is brutal.
Here are my guesses:
Voyager Kingshmegland or Lethean
White Lion Kwyjibo
Gov't. Mule Indiscipline or Stadler
Damnation Angels Evermind
The Smiths Stadler or Indiscipline
Obsidian Kingdom-Elite
RPWL Seneca or Kingshmegland
Persefone Wolfking
Pentakill - Lethean
Trivium -Puppies
Aquaria Kattelox
Stortregn Parama
-
yeppity yep
did you at least like the sacrificed alliance song too? curious where that'd stand in the results, you did say one wildcard was actually tough to choose which was my mission :corn
-
Wrong on mine :corn
-
How'd you know? :lol
-
Correct.
Already sent my Life song, just need to decide on the Death one. I'll send it in about 15 hours.
-
Sent for the Life & Death round, but I have a feeling I sent the same song Parama did for one of them... :corn I'll be expecting a resubmit PM from Stadler in the morning......
-
PM me :corn
i really highly doubt you sent the death song i sent
-
White Lion is mine, that was an easy guess, I guess. ;D
First, I know Tim will (most likely) shit all over them. Secondly, Light and Thunder is a pretty mediocre song.
So let's see if Chad is right on this one.
And I already sent some death metal songs for the next round.
-
Sweet! That Mountain cut is really good, and Leslie West is an underappreciated master. Speaking of under the radar great guitarists, the song has also been covered by the great John Norum.
And Vito Bratta is amazing!
-
I saw Leslie get in a fight with the drummer opening for Triumph. The drummer was slinging drumsticks off his cymbals at Leslie and at the end of the show, Leslie rammed his guitar head through the base drum head.
-
And Vito Bratta is amazing!
How would anyone know? It’s like saying Kelly Cuocco is a great comedic actress, but if the show blows, what good is it?

Stop teasing and give me my low score, I'm ready for it. :)

This was a tough round to score. I mean the song didn’t suck.

LIGHT Results
12. Parama..Stortregn - Children Of The Obsidian Light
"What really makes this song is the last four minutes of instrumental bliss"
I pretty much knew this song was winning the round. This last four minutes are fantastic. Really makes tolerating the growls worth it. In fact, the music is great all the way throughout. This is top notch. I will be following up.
11. Senecadawg2..The Smiths..The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
"So the best thing I could say about this song is that it reminds me of when I was young."
So, when I say a roulette song in a vacuum can be quite meaningful, this is an example. This song stirs so many emotions for me. The Smiths were so prevalent on College Radio in the mid 80's. Not that I was a huge fan of college radio, but I loved it's spirit. My brother (a year younger than me) was a huge Smiths and Morrissey fan, and I would hear this from his bedroom all of the time. In fact, I haven't talked to him in a few months, so I texted him to tell him about this, so Thank You Seneca.
10. Stadler..Gov't. Mule - Painted Silver Light
"This song kind of won me over in the end, but damn, it took forever to get there."
Literally the last band I expected in this roulette. But I'm glad I got them. While it takes the song a bit to really kick in, when it does, it is absolutely fantastic. Look, I'm a metal guy, but there are bands that I ruly respect, and Gov't Mule is one of them. I worked with a guy that travelled all over to see them. He hooked me up with some tunes, and I thought they were great. The final two minutes has some smoking guitar playing.
9. Kingshmegland..RPWL - Light Of The World
"This is a really cool song. The competition is tough though."
The very beginning of this reminded me a bit of Gary Moore. David Gilmour. Even John Petrucci. This band has an old soul, for sure. I've never really heard of them.
They're obviously fans of Pink Floyd. But I really like this.It has a good pace and definitely doesn't feel like a ten minute track.
8. Puppies..Persefone - Aathma Pt III: One With Light
"Wolfking sent this."
The growls are pretty harsh, but this song has so much more going for it. Parama reminded me that Persefone did pretty well in my last roulette. I'm more open this time to follow up, which I definitely will do. I really like the clean vocals too. This band is on "the list".
7. Indisipline..Pentakill - Lightbringer
"Oh, that reminds me, I have to go to the bathroom"
Yay, more Jorn! I don't quite know how I feel about this song. I like it, but it doesn't jump out as being really good. The chorus is excellent though..
6. Wolfking..Trivium - Like Light To Flies
"Definitely a solid tune. I should like this band more than I do though."
I actually have The Crusade. I haven't heard it in a while. When I got it, I called them a modern day Testament. Then Testament started enjoying a comeback.
I've stayed away from Trivium because of the grwls, but I think I'm in a better place to check them out further. their music is undeniable.
5. Kattelox..Aquaria - Spirits of Light
"This is kind of uneven. I generally liked the instrumental part. But those vocals.."
Certainly nothing really to complain about or really praise here. It's a solid track.
4. Evermind..Damnation Angels - Bringer Of Light
"I find symphonic elements very distracting and unnecessary. This song was decent enough on its own."
I think this tune is solid, but like I said in my initial impressions, symphonic elements really don't do anything for me. It feels fairly generic, a song I've heard a million times before.
3. Elite..Obsidian Kingdom - Last Of The Light
"This song is pretty chill, bookended by some serious noise."
If I could chop the first and last 30 seconds off this song that would be great. The middle 4 minutes is really nice. King of groovy, Floydish, with some sax. I just can't reconcile what comes before and after.
2. Lethean..Voyager - The Morning Light
"This is definitely a decent tune. Not sure how it's going to stack up though."
This is a real enjoyable tune. Unfortunately, It just doesn't have that WOW factor that is needed to stand out. There's some stiff competition here. That said, There's nothing bad I can say about this track. There's just nothing awesome I could say about it either.
1. Kwyjibo..White Lion - Lights And Thunder
"Gee, I thought Chad wasn't playing."
So musically this was actually pretty good. But White Lion were Bon Jovi wannabes from the start. I actually saw White Lion in 1987. What a bunch of posers. I think the actual musicianship was held back by their style. To me, White Lion was a just miss band. I very much like the extended instrumental break, but vocally, this is just brutal.

I liked The Crusade, but honestly, I'd just rather listen to Testament. I do think Trivium is a great band. I've never followed them though after that one album, which is pretty much all clean vocals. Now that I'm more tolerant, I need to check them further.
-
Cool. Not really the result I was expecting, but I was really happy to send both songs this round. I think the next two should be interesting as well.

So Seneca, I know you haven't done great score wise, but I have gotten goosebumps twice in this roulette, and both times, it was your songs that did it.
-
You can be honest—I made your skin crawl ;D
-
A come back isn't completely out of the question here, it looks like :metal
Still curious what you thought of the sacrificed alliance song though :corn
-
So the next round is the LIFE & DEATH Round.
This is your last chance to use your Wild Card™. You cannot use it in the Open Round.
Please please everyone try and get in by tomorrow afternoon Boston time. I want to get the songs before Stadler takes off for the weekend. I'm a day late here. Sorry.
-
Checking my songs now, will send soon. Surprised Aquaria got up to 5 to be honest.

Probably Shogun is the next place to go to, despite the song I sent being from Ascendancy. Or the new one, The Sin and the Sentence.

Still curious what you thought of the sacrificed alliance song though :corn
You mentioned this song earlier and I had no idea what you were talking about. :lol
But when Stadler sent me back the results, it still listed the Wild Cards sent.
I only listened to it once. It may have been the first song I listened to for this entire round 7.
I remember thinking the songs were pretty close, until Stortregn pulled away with that long instrumental part. That pretty much sealed the deal. I'll revisit it though.
Checking my songs now, will send soon. Surprised Aquaria got up to 5 to be honest.
Honestly songs 5-1 were basically even. If I were scoring on a 10 scale, they would've all gotten a 7.
-
actually okay i need to redo your scoreboard for you because it's way messed up right now :lol
OK, let me check it. I worked 12 hours today and rushed the Results and Scores out.

You also lost a round's worth of scores for Kwijibo besides that, somehow.

i ain't a secretary, i'm more of an accountant
i make the numbers good
this is especially ironic as i have run 3 of my 5 roulettes without any cumulative scoring system
-
Since I won't do eliminations, I have to have cumulative scoring.

Don't see any chance of myself or Puppies catching Ruslan. Doubt he'll drop the ball also.

Yeah, he would have to completely tank the next round.
-
yeah the scores looked better before i fixed them, but evermind would have to really screw up to lose at this point, and there's absolutely no way anyone besides you two could catch him at this point
-
Thanks Parama, I moved up a spot :biggrin: still in the top 5 somehow!
-
we're tied, actually :P
-
Don't see any chance of myself or Puppies catching Ruslan. Doubt he'll drop the ball also.
He's been very consistent, but I've pretty much had the same Top 3 since like the (checks with Parama) second round.
You've got to beat him by 3 points in each of the next two rounds.
-
Gee thanks Parama.... I need all the half points I can get. :P

I mean, I may just receive two 4 scores next round and Kade may get two 11s and that's it. I thought that Damnation Angels song was a certain 8 at least.
Also I didn't have time to pick a Death song so I just sent the first thing I thought of.
-
yeah the scores looked better before i fixed them, but evermind would have to really screw up to lose at this point, and there's absolutely no way anyone besides you two could catch him at this point
I think I know what you will send for the life category.

is it the same thing puppies thought i would send? :corn
edit: oh wait no you thought i was gonna send shade empire! they're banned unfortunately else i would have, was disappointed to see that on the banlist for sure :corn
-
Damn, Shade Empire is banned? Yeah that's the one. Brilliant song. For someone who wasn't all that big into growls in the past, there's a few bands on Tim's list that is surprising.
Like Be'lakor? Wouldn't have expected Tim would be into them.
-
I wouldn’t say I’m into them, but I have their albums saved on Spotify and have listened a few times. A lot of these bands are still relatively new to me but I’ve been trying to branch out a bit over the last year.
Also Kade, check out that Stortregn track. I think you’d like it.

Calling an 80s hair metal band posers is kind of a tautology. ;D

No shit, rite? :lol
Also, I simply cannot fathom how anyone can rate songs as highly as Tim has on occasion when the word "tolerate" has to be used to describe the tune.. I'm not knocking growls - if that's what one likes, have at it. I dig symphonic metal, and female vocals - but I can't think of any songs in that style that I go back to where I simply "tolerate" the vocals or the symphony. Doesn't matter how good the rest of a piece of music is, when one aspect has to be tolerated, it's pretty much guaranteed to be a hard pass. There's just WAY too much music out there to be discovered that is awesome from start to finish.

It took some serious sugartalk, roses, and a bottle of 2004 Chianti, but I managed to get into our lovely secretary's box:
The Beatles - In My Life ... Kwyjibo
The Eagles - Life in the Fast Lane ... Katt
Michael Kiske - Do I Remember a Life? ... Stadler
Opus - Live Is Life ... King
Iron Maiden - Still Life ... Wolfking
Frank Sinatra - That's Life ... Indiscipline
Dire Straits - Walk of Life ... Seneca
David Bowie - Life on Mars? ... Lethean
Monty Python - Always Look on the Bright Side of Life ... Parama
Skid Row - 18 and Life ... Evermind
Queen - Love of My Life ... Puppies
Iggy Pop - Lust for Life ... Elite
Bon Jovi - It's My Life ... Jingle

This is now the roulette for Bizarro-TAC
If I was actually in this (depending on the banned list and what's already been played), I'd probably have narrowed it down to Genius, Pagan's Mind, Sunburst, or Paralydium Project. Probably the latter.

I respect that opinion, but I'm not sure how I feel about that. I guess it's a matter of degree for me. Can I - or should I say WOULD I - tolerate an entire 12 minute song with growls? Not likely. But I can live with the bits and spots that Mike added to the DT tunes. I'm not a huge "saxophone" guy, but I'm not going to ditch an entire song because of one sax solo.
I don't disagree that there is a ton of music that is aces from A to Z, but there are also a ton of songs that are 90% of the way there, too.
-
I just had to scroll back through Round 5, and came across the still from my leaked tape with Bobby Kraft. I'm so much better looking than that Asian masseuse he's been filmed with since.
-
If I really don't like something I can't tolerate it. If it's not really good but the rest is stellar, I can get used to it. The singer in Haken is really not my cup of tea but the music is great so I can tolerate and enjoy it.
PS: I don't really think MP's rough vocals fit in DT, but growls is something else.
-
Just following up on the light results, I'm actually a bit underwhelmed with the writeup for Aquaria. What did you think of all the keyboard work, TAC? I'm still not really sure what your stance is on that kind of metal which is why I've been sending stuff from all over the place. I'm super big on keyboards and orchestral arrangements but I get the impression you're not.

OK. So the thing about rating songs, especially in a roulette, is that you are (I am) scoring songs against other songs. The highest rated song is the song, amongst the 12 sent, that I like the most.
In the Love Round, I literally liked the top 2 or 3 songs. That meant I had to rate highly a song I wasn't crazy about. In the Hate Round, I pretty much liked every song, but I had to rate low a song I liked. It's all relative.
In the last round, for example. I don't love growls, and I don't love symphonic elements. the Stortregn song was strong enough for me to "tolerate" the growls, but the Damnation Angels song was NOT strong enough for me to "tolerate" the symphonic elements.
Two years ago, I'd dismiss a Growlie track out of hand. If the music is good enough, I'm now open to it.
Digging into a band and enjoying (re:tolerating) are two different things. It is a rare band that is full on growls that I am really into. But I'm more than willing to experiment, and have even come across something I like. I post the playlist because I want to share my experience with everyone else. It's a varied collection of songs by a varied, musically well versed group of guys that I personally have the upmost respect for, musically. Even Seneca! :D I mean, he has the lowest score, but he is responsible foe the TWO goosebump moments I've had so far.
I don't disagree that there is a ton of music that is aces from A to Z, but there are also a ton of songs that are 90% of the way there, too.
Right. Agreed.
-
OK, all songs are in.
I'm online tonight, but I'm basically giving the roulette a night off. I've worked two 12 hour days, with another one coming tomorrow. Plus it's our TACaversary today. So just chillin' tonight...
-
OK, so maybe I'm not taking the night off for the roulette. I'm going to start my Document and playlist.
Someone sent these songs:
Aephanemer - If I Should Die
Our Lady Peace - Superman's Dead
Please resubmit with DEATH in the title to Stadler and Copy Kingshmegland.
Sorry, I should've caught these earlier.

I'm not superbig on keyboard and orchestral arrangements.
I've already said that sings 5-1 were virtually tied. I actually didn't find the song overly keyboard driven. I mean they are there for sure. I didn't not like the song.
-
Hmmm The Smiths :hat. That song is absolutely amazing.
-
EDIT: nevermind :lol
-
I wouldn’t say I’m into them, but I have their albums saved on Spotify and have listened a few times. A lot of these bands are still relatively new to me but I’ve been trying to branch out a bit over the last year.
Also Kade, check out that Stortregn track. I think you’d like it.
I just did. Very impressive, I really liked it. The instrumentation was fabulous and the growls were on point. Seems my appreciated of growls and more extreme music is also growing more and more. Bit of Edge of Sanity feel in this too. Sort of has that good crossover over pure black metal but enough melody to warrant a melodic death metal feel. Parama has some real gems hidden in his obscure collection. Cool outro.
EDIT: Epic outro.

Oh hell yes!! I'll be checking that album out for sure!!
-
that album is a in a weird place to me because i almost got it last year but couldn't find it for a decent price, then ended up not getting it and then revisiting it later and not really being too into the entire album, mostly just that one song
but then i spun it again like a week or two ago and was like "hmm this is pretty cool though"
it's like the most borderline "i want this" album
i think it's just that it's hard to find a copy of, mostly :lol
hanglife when? :corn

hanglife when? :corn
I just got home. I have two sets of wild cards that I am about to listen to, and then I'll get hangman going. Give me a bit...
I'm definitely checking that album out after this roulette. I have a long fucking list...

to be blunt, i already did and if you think i still need to it means neither stads nor king forwarded it to you, in which case i can't do anything

I ain't ever mad. :)
No, no one has forwarded anything to me. It's cool. I'm starting with Life because I'm technically missing two Death songs.
I've got a damned secretary that uses weekends for facials and handjobs and a temp worker that's getting drunk to Power Windows. :lol

that's why i asked for hanglife and not hangdeath, yeah :P

Sorry guys, running a bit behind on this round. The only work I was able to do tonight was to weed through the Wild Cards and post a Hangman.
It's amazing, but this is the third roulette where I've had The TAC Wild Card™, and again, both instances were the easiest choice possible.

Parama. I'm so sorry. I missed that you sent that. I read right through that. Tim, do you want me to forward it to you?
Sorry if this makes me a dick, but I missed it too, and I'm not apologizing. It had "CRYBABY" in the title, and since I've gotten more submissions from Parama than everyone else combined (I'm not really kidding, though that's fine, that's my job here), changing things on submissions six rounds from now, it just didn't register.
(The point isn't to rag on you for taking it seriously or making changes, that's what my job is no matter how many times you submit, but the point IS to sort of remind you that we/I can't read your mind.)

That's why I never send songs 6 rounds in advance. :neverusethis:

I'm a few days late on this round. It is starting NOW!
Last week, our major competition went out on strike, so I worked 12 hours days Thurs through Sat. Add in our anniversary on Friday and Easter on Sunday...

Here are my immediate First Life Impressions:
"Me want cookie."
"Musically, this is absolutely top notch. Reminds me a lot of Dream Theater. The singer sounds kind of 90'sish though, and that's a problem."
"This was a risky submission. It didn't pay off, I'm afraid."
"This band needs a testosterone boost. And ditch the keyboard player."
"I wish I liked the rest of the song as much as I liked the instrumental part, which was stunning and amazing."
"This song was a mouthful. Vocally and musically."
"This was a Mack truck being driven though a whole in the banned list."
"I think I've been sent this band in each of my roulettes, and this is the best thing I've heard from them."
"Some seriously solid work right there."
"Well that was very pleasant. For something released so recently, it has a very old school feel."
"This was much better than I anticipated. More than solid"
"Some great guitar work, but a bit too mid tempo. Solid though."
-
No clue :metal

I haven't even listened to my song. TAC, I hope you liked it! :lol

Spent the last hour and a half listening.
Death First Listen Impressions.
"This song was really easy on the ears and had a lot of different elements in it."
"A very good tune from a just miss band for me. I wish they were heavier."
"This was pretty chill. It just never seems to reach a climax."
"This song starts out real creepy and ends with a Schenker inspired solo which is really nice. That's basically all I remember."
"This song was pretty good except for the corny vocals in the verses."
"Wow, this was thrash-fucking-tastic!"
"Wow, that was pretty terrible. I've heard so much better from this band."
"I've been pretty vocal about not caring for this band and this did not change my mind."
"This was pretty uneven, and it's fair to say that I didn't like it."
"I never really took this band very seriously. This was cool though."
"I must say, I was expecting a lot more from this.."
"I think K-Lox found the cheesiest album cover with a Death song on it and sent it. And guess what? It's fucking cheesy.."
-
So after 2 Life listens and 1 Death listen, I feel like the Life group is much stronger, but the Death group has the song of the round I think.

The chances are high that one of these is about my song. :)

One of these I think. I'm hoping the last one. But I think it could be the second last one. Actually, it's probably the Schenker one.

One of the "set in stone" Bottom 3 Life songs has risen out of the Bottom 3.
Don't get excited Stadler, it's not yours. ;D
-
It's mine :metal
A true rise from the ashes
-
Yours might have taken its place! :lol
-
I'm kind of hoping mine is the thrash tastic one. It kicks fucking ass.

Yes it fucking does. One of the best songs of the entire roulette.
Which reminds me, I should start making some kind of list for that kind of thing.

I have no idea who sent Vinnie Moore. None.

The Life Results have been submitted.
Here are my guesses:
Gaya Epicus Kattelox
Need Seneca or Evermind
Moonloop Elite
Night Ranger Stadler
The Flower Kings Seneca or Kingshmegland
Xanthochroid Parama
Ghost Lethean
UDO Wolfking
Vinnie Moore Kingshmegland
Riverside Kwyjibo or Evermind
John Norum Indiscipline
Rivers Of Nihil Puppies

Maybe, maybe not.

Need and TFK are great, but not mine.

You are not in last place. Or first. ;D

Yeah, I'm the UDO. I'm not expecting that one to do all that well. Interesting it was taken over my wild card. I would have guessed the opposite.

-
Yeah, I'm the UDO. I'm not expecting that one to do all that well. Interesting it was taken over my wild card. I would have guessed the opposite.
What else did you send? I deleted Stadler's email. I think there were two wild cards in this round. Was it Aryeon?

LIFE Results
12. Wolfking...UDO - System Of Life
"This was a Mack truck being driven though a hole in the banned list."
Wow the beginning of this sounds just like Saxon's Princess Of the Night. I rate classic Accept as being a Top 10ish band. My biggest issue with UDO, is that I generally feel like he's missing the Accept sound, but it is evident on this. I've never bothered with solo UDO. I may have to fill in some gaps, because I really loved this.
11. Kwyjibo..Vinnie Moore - Lifeforce
"Some seriously solid work right there."
What I like about this, especially compared to the Norum track, is ...just play the damned guitar. None wants to hear you sing a crappy song. This was excellent. I've never really checked out Vinnie's soo albums. Even the old ones like this. Sounds a little early Yngwie-ish, but that's more than OK with me. This was a really nice break in the playlist.
10. Lethean...Riverside - Second Life Syndrome
"I think I've been sent this band in each of my roulettes, and this is the best thing I've heard from them."
I've had trouble getting into Riverside. Maybe it's the guy's voice. I don't know. His voice is no problem here though. I like it, actually. Musically this is top notch all the way through. There's really no part here that I dislike. This is excellent and would be happy to take suggestions. This will take more than the 5 listens I gave it, but I already know I'll be going back to this one after the roulette.
9. Kattelox...Gaia Epicus - New Life
"This was much better than I anticipated. More than solid"
Cheesy band name. Cheesy album cover. But classic heavy fucking metal. I love this song. It's riffy, it's fast, it's melodic. While melodic, it never strikes me as being overly generic. I think this is well executed and never wore out its welcome after the first listen. Very easy on the ears.
8. Evermind...Need - Lifeknot
"Musically, this is absolutely top notch. Reminds me a lot of Dream Theater. The singer sounds kind of 90'sish though, and that's a problem."
Evermind sent me Need in an earlier roulette, and I don't think I thought it was all that great. But this is 10 times better. This tune cranks for sure. I am definitely not crazy about the singer though. Sounds like a less frantic Redemption. But everything else about this is outstanding.
7. Puppies...Rivers Of Nihil - The Silent Life
"I wish I liked the rest of the song as much as I liked the instrumental part, which was stunning and amazing."
So the obvious great thing about this song is the instrumental part, sax and all. But the beginning has grown on me. There is some incredible metal drumming going on, and I caught myself headbanging to the rest of it.
6. Kingshmegland...The Flower Kings - Life Will Kill You
"This was a risky submission. It didn't pay off, I'm afraid."
This song really grew on me after that first unspectacular listen. Great vocals and real nice guitar. Quite soulful, and while I have totally ignored The Flower Kings, I may check them out. I'd take suggestions.
5. Parama...Xanthochroid - Long Live Our Lifeless King
"This song was a mouthful. Vocally and musically."
So this song had a lot of cool parts, but I really struggled following the song as a whole. I didn't love it, but I didn't not like it either. It just seems all over the place. The long quiet part was..long...and quiet..and long. I don't know, man.
4. Seneca...Ghost - Life Eternal
"Well that was very pleasant. For something released so recently, it has a very old school feel."
This song was nice enough. It just doesn't really do anything or go anywhere. I really don't have much to say about it.
3. Indiscipline... John Norum - Law Of Life
"Some great guitar work, but a bit too mid tempo. Solid though."
This isn't something I'd likely revisit. Not in love with Norum's vocals, and I hate mid tempo mumbojumbo. But that guitar solo is smoking and I didn't expect that.
2. Elite... Moonloop - A Life Divided
"Me want cookie"
For me to get through growls, the music has to really kick my ass. I've heard some Moonloop, and I think they're an excellent band. But if all I had was this song to go by, I wouldn't follow up. The ratio of growls to killer music is too high for me.
1. Stadler...Night Ranger - Big Life
"This band needs a testosterone boost. And ditch the keyboard player."
First off, I do like Jack Blades' voice. Doesn't really stand out, but he's pretty good. And I know these guitarists can play. So Night Ranger should work right? NOPE! This song has one of the worst keyboard sounds I've ever heard. Dumb lyics and bad 80's music. This was pretty terrible.
-
I did? I would've picked another band then, I forgot.
Also this is the round I lose my first place, because my death song is actually not great at all. I just didn't have time to come up with something better.
-
No freaking way. Cool. :lol
-
Fair enough! Didn't know how well sending something more black metal would've gone but I tried
At least check out Rebirth of an Old Nation from them too, that's the reeeeal banger on that album
-
No freaking way. Cool. :lol
That song was awesome despite the band name and album cover.
-
Riverside is one of my very favorite bands. I actually didn't think my song would do well, but I was sending it anyway. :)
So glad you enjoyed it, and I think you should check them out live in May.
-
I liked everything about that Riverside song.
-
STRIKE :metal :metal :metal
That Vinnie Moore song was the intro song to a german tv show called Hard 'n' Heavy with Annette Hopfenmüller (one of the most unmetal sounding surnames :D) Kind of a german version of Headbanger's Ball. I discovered a lot of metal through that show from 86 to 90, before we got MTV.
https://youtu.be/yg8jzJrxKEw (https://youtu.be/yg8jzJrxKEw)
-
I liked everything about that Riverside song.
That album is pretty good tbh
I prefer ADHD but it's a bit more electronic and I dunno if you'd be as into that as the pure prog metal of SLS
I'd expect that one and their first album to be your favorites
-
I can't complain about my score. Tim, they have a Pink Floyd vibe you might like.
-
I don’t like Pink Floyd though. :P
-
I don’t like Pink Floyd though. :P
A little more modern though. You'd like some not all but more than PF.
-
Better than a 1, I suppose.
-
It’s not that I don’t like Moonloop. I used them on my EP for Evermind . But there were way too many growls and not nearly enough music.
-
Whoa spoilers :corn
-
I was intrigued when I saw that UDO wasn't banned Tim, considering you liking for Accept. I actually didn't expect this one to win the round, but I knew it might at least be up your alley, so good stuff. His solo catalog is pretty hit and miss, and it's so extensive there's still a couple of the earlier ones I haven't gotten around to. That album that System of Life comes off Faceless World is one of my favs, it has a nice Accept style but it has a bit of a melodic rock feel at times. Great mix and styles and pretty good songs.
-
Glad you like The Silent Life for the most part. Wish I had stuck with Riverside though. I was originally going to send that, but thought you might be put off by the length. Oh well....
-
Riverside of Nihil
-
I was intrigued when I saw that UDO wasn't banned Tim, considering you liking for Accept.
While I am a huge classic Accept fan, it has more to do with the music. I love Wolf Hoffman's tone, Peter Baltes' style, and Stefan Kaufman is one of my favorite 80's drummers. Solo UDO never really interested me.
Glad you like The Silent Life for the most part. Wish I had stuck with Riverside though. I was originally going to send that, but thought you might be put off by the length. Oh well....
Yeah, that RoN song was pretty good. The Riverside was excellent. Every part was really good. It never felt like it was dragging.
Riverside of Nihil
:neverusethis: :lol

So we had a little drama behind the scenes today.
Seems because Stadler was upset about receiving a 1 in the Life Round. Apparently, I'm being brought up on charges of Musical Harassment.!
I maintain it was CONSENSUAL because after all, he did send Night Ranger.
This afternoon, we had a sit down with the Commissioner Of Roulettes, Bolsters.

That’s because I have the tapes, and trust me, Stadler does not want those to be released.
-
It’s not that I don’t like Moonloop. I used them on my EP for Evermind . But there were way too many growls and not nearly enough music.
Well, my choices for something with ‘Life’ in the title were admittedly fairly limited. I don’t blame, I don’t think it’s a particularly good song either :lol
-
That’s taking it like a man, Rich.

Your Honor Bolsters, I have but three pieces of information:
1. You are a powerful and attractive man!
2. Who DOESN'T like Cheap Trick?
3. I invented the devil's horns, not that dwarf Dio. :metal
I rest my case.
-
1. You are a powerful and attractive man!
Also a lot younger than I look.
-
:lol
-
I have submitted the results for the DEATH songs.
Hopefully I get the results back from Stads before he heads out for the weekend.
I must say that this is one of the weakest group of songs in the entire roulette. I only really liked the Round Winner, and only kind of liked the next 3 or 4. After that, it was hard to stack.
Here are my guesses:
Unruly Child Kwyjibo
Exmortus Kattelox
Nuclear Assault Indiscipline
Ghost Seneca
Kansas Kingshmegland
Venenum Parama
Kamelot Lethean
Elvenking Elite or Evermind
Agalloch Puppies
Kreator Wolfking
HIM Stadler
Alestorm Evermind or Elite
-
I'd sooner send Katy Perry to you in a roulette than Exmortus.
-
Correct on one of mine.
-
well hey you're right
and I played the song you sent back in plug.dj and everyone liked it and said you'd probably love it, so you really only have yourself to blame here :corn
and i already have stuff i want to send more for the crybaby round so i don't think i'll be sending it back there either
-
Correct on one of mine.
There's 4 places between those two songs. This was a hard group to guess.
-

Yeah, that Aeghammernoir song was pretty great, don't remember the band's name.

Aebrogatehell - If I Should Die
Might've gotten the band name wrong.

Give Me Results Or Give Me Death!
12. Wolfking...Kreator - Death Becomes My Light
"Wow, this was thrash-fucking-tastic!"
Holy shit does this song kick ass. I actually saw Kreator in a club in 1989. I was never into them though. But damn, I must check this album out. This IS Metal!
11. Kwyjibo...Kansas - Death Of Mother Nature Suite
"A very good tune from a just miss band for me. I wish they were heavier."
So this is really good. Considering it's from 1974, it's amazing really. Kansas just does not click with me for some reason. Just not heavy enough, I guess. But this is a cool song that is a bit long, and I'm not sure how much I'd come back to it.
10. Parama...Venenum - Trance of Death, Pt. 2: Metanoia Journey
"I must say, I was expecting a lot more from this.."
This instrumental really grew on me through each listen. I think for the first listen, I had much higher expectations and was not expecting a relatively straight forward instrumental. But the more I listened, the more I liked. The music really hooks you in.
9. Lethean...Kamelot - Love You To Death
"I've been pretty vocal about not caring for this band and this did not change my mind."
I've never really liked anything I've heard from Kamelot. This song actually improved as this round went on. I like it because it feel original. Kamelot really bores me but this song was cool.
8. Evermind...Elvenking - Death And The Suffering
"This song was really easy on the ears and had a lot of different elements in it."
Even after 4 listens, I could not decide if I liked the vocalist or not. I really liked the solo section.
7. Seneca..Agalloch - And The Great Cold Death Of The Earth.
"This was pretty chill. It just never seems to reach a climax."
This is really moody and cool. As I said in the First impression, I just don't feel like it ever really ...gets there. But it is cool and I definitely liked it.
6. Indiscipline...Nuclear Assault - Brain Death
"I never really took this band very seriously. This was cool though."
I love the spirit in this. I always felt that Nuclear Assault was a real messy band. Almost too much looseness in their music, especially the vocals. I was never into them though, and I really don't feel like I missed anything. But I appreciate this submission and I really enjoyed it.
5. Stadler...HIM - When Love And Death Embrace
"This song starts out real creepy and ends with a Schenker inspired solo which is really nice. That's basically all I remember."
I don't know. I had a hard time getting into this. Other than the Schenkler style solo, I could find really nothing here that i would want to go back to.
4. Kattelox...Alestorm - Death Throes of the Terrorsquid
"This song was pretty good except for the corny vocals in the verses."
There are some decent parts in this, but it's hard to take it seriously with those Pirate Metal vocals. I liked the vocals when they were a bit harsher in the second half of the song. i wish the whole song was sung like that. Also the symphonic elements are too much for me.
3. Kingshmegland...Unruly Child - Life Death
"This was pretty uneven, and it's fair to say that I didn't like it."
This has a Zeppelin vibe, especially in the verses. And again in the instrumental part. I honestly can't see me getting into this band based on this. It feels like they might be a bit too straightforward for me. They just don't feel very original.
2. Puppies...Exmortus - Victory Or Death
"I think K-Lox found the cheesiest album cover with a Death song on it and sent it. And guess what? It's fucking cheesy.."
I don't really know how to review this one. From the 2:23 mark, there's 30 seconds of instrumental goodness, but I really wanted to skip this song each time through.
1. Elite...Ghost - Death Knell
"Wow, that was pretty terrible. I've heard so much better from this band."
Terrible on the first listen. Terrible on the next three listens.

The Last And Final Round
The 9th and final round is an OPEN ROUND
No Wild Cards™ will be accepted.
ANY band used already in this roulette may be resubmitted regardless of the score.
You will submit TWO songs!
I will listen to the songs in two groups, similar to the first 8 rounds.
The two groups are the Blue Balls group and the Crybaby group.
When you submit your songs to Stadler, you must designate which song you want grouped with the Blue Balls, and which song you want grouped with the Crybabies.
Remember those are not themes. Just the names of the groupings.
Please get your songs into Stadler over the weekend. I would like to have them ALL Monday morning, and we'll wrap this bad boy up next week.
-
wolfking's coming for you, ev :corn
the first perfect 12 of the roulette, damn
also i'll accept that for venenum, i also considered sending the 14 minute closer off that album but had no clue how you'd react to it
at least you dug the song i actually wanted to send for this round :P

I actually listened to the entire Trance Of Death today. It was really cool. Pt 1 was my least favorite though. Part 3 would've finished ahead of Kansas, as would have Aebrogatehell/Aeghammernoir. So in the end, it only cost you a point.
Neither would've beaten the Kreator.
-
Yeah, at most would've been a 1 point difference and I saved you 9 minutes for it :lol
-
Hey I can still win. If Evermind completely tanks this round......and if I get 2 perfect scores.....and if Wolfking finishes second to last this round....lots of if's there...
-
Yeah, that was the first real misstep from you that I can think of. It was so bad and cheesy, I thought K-Lox sent it! :lol
-
Yeah, that was the first real misstep from you that I can think of. It was so bad and cheesy, I thought K-Lox sent it! :lol
Sad part is, I had both Agalloch and Kreator in my shortlist for the round among other things.
-
That is sad. :lol
-
Sent for the Bonus Round. Time to win this thing! :metal :metardica: :2metal: :corn
-
I can't fucking stand Alestorm so I'm actually pleasantly surprised by that. Your thoughts, oddly, echo exactly how I feel about that song. Note: I wanted to send Ensiferum's Deathbringer From The Sky, but obviously that was banned. I also thought about Symphorce's Become Death but that probably would've scored even worse. Pretty psyched I'm still in 5th :lol
This roulette's been very fun, TAC - you'll get my songs tomorrow, or Sunday at the absolute latest. I'm definitely going to send you something I truly love to close this thing out. I hope you hate them. :loser:
-
I'm definitely going to send you something I truly love to close this thing out. I hope you hate them. :loser:

Sent songs that match the themes, just to spite you:
Bob Dylan - Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again
Bob Dylan - Baby, Stop Crying
-
Im really pleasantly surprisrd to see that Agalloch score. Its not my favorite song of theirs but based on your response i think theres a good chance youd enjoy their more straightforward album, Ashes Against the Grain.
-
Difficult to compete with 12/12, yeah. Also, this stupid bonus round is going to cost me the victory, it seems. :lol
Kind of letting Luoto hang around to beat me! :P
-
I could have sworn that that Kansas song will absolutely tank, because it was my fourth or fifth choice, the others being banned or rejected.
Shows me that the more thought I put in, the less I will score. And if I don't give a shit, I score really well. ;D
Let's see how that works in the bonus round. Will sent probably tonight.

Yeah, nice and close for the final round. I actually hate that it's an open round, more chance to fuck it, and I seem to perform better when I know what I'm aiming for.
I'll have 2 songs sent in 24 hours if that's not too late. That's Monday night my time, should be fine.
I toyed with the idea of resending 2 themes that didn't quite work, or 2 bands that didn't quite work, just to keep in the spirit of the game but not sure if I'll go that way.
-
Kade, I'll PM you so Tim doesn't see this.

Kade, I'll PM you so Tim doesn't see this.

I'll pretend I didn't see it.

Hah! I have no idea what you guys are talking about. :lol
Kade, Monday night (your time) is fine. That's Monday morning my time. I want to be able to get started when I get home from work Monday afternoon.
-
Got a few different options, although probably nothing really that would make me challenge Ruslan, but I don't mind. Want to keep it in the theme of the roulette of songs I should have sent, others I also wanted to send or just songs I missed until afterwards.
-
You picked up 4 points on him last round. You never know. Evermind has been real consistent.
-
Yeah no shit, it's only 1,5 points difference. You may get 12 and 10 and I may get 11 and 7 and I'm screwed.
-
Sent two bangers... had a lot to play with. Hope TAC likes 'em.

So in Round 2 Evermind sent me The Girl In The Raven Mask by Avatarium.
I loved the song and said I would definitely be checking this album out. Well, I did just that tonight. I was reminded that Evermind said this:
Don't buy the album just yet, the rest of it is quite different from this song, and overall I prefer their first one, which is also quite different from this song.
Yes, this song is definitely not representative of this album. There's really only one other upbeat (rocking) song..Run Killer Run, which is also really cool. The rest is pretty brooding. Lots of old school influences as you can clearly hear Black Sabbath and Deep Purple here. I thought The January Sea was the best of the rest. And that cover of In My Time Of Dying just doesn't work.

Parama won the Moon half of the Sun & Moon round with Parius' Crashing Black Moon.
He said this:
Also hell yeah knew you'd dig Parius
The rest of the album isn't as good IMO but it's basically in line with that song
Crashing Black Moon is the best song on this..EP? It's only 29 minutes.
I thought Into The Realm and Eldritch were a great way to start this. Eldritch is an amazing tune. The musicianship on this is amazing.
The Binding and Between Hell & I really tested my harsh vocal/music ratio. But The Boundless was much better with a great mid song interlude that was fantastic.
-
Finally, last post for the night..
Apparently Stadler knew he would get nowhere with Bolsters on Friday, and I think he was remorseful.
He called me this morning and said he had a Groupon and was meeting a friend and asked if I wanted to come along...

they consider it an album, i consider it an album, even if, yes, it's stupidly short

Did you send Behemoth?

I'll have my two songs to Stadler in like half an hour. Literally have no fucking idea what to send. I've decided now that I HATE open rounds. Tim's really made me a fan of this catergory thing.
-
Just got back from vacations. Sending in a minute a couple of tunes I want you to sample but you're gonna hate with every fiber of your being :D
-
Okay, I've sent.
I went with two of the themes again. One round I didn't do as great and after results came out I stumbled across this song and couldn't believe I missed it and would have sent this song a million times over the other one. I actually listened to it like a week before so don't know how I've missed it. I've sent it now cause I think it would do better and I'm kind of upset with myself that I somehow overlooked it.
The second theme I killed the round but again I struggled to find a song and again stumbled upon this song afterwards which has been a bit of a fav for a few years and again not sure how it was overlooked. If I realised the song prior, I would have sent this instead. Probably because the theme word is part of a longer extension of the word actually, it probably wouldn't have come up in my searches.

Everyone don’t forget to specify which group of songs you want each of your songs to be grouped with.
-

If my songs didn't do well I could blame it on the "restricting" themes, in an open round I have only myself to blame. ;)

I thought the same thing. Might use it in my third roulette.

Got TAC to like a Kamelot song. :)
-
Amazing.

I believe I'm waiting on two more submissions.
There was one that I honest to god couldn't tell the band name from the song title. I guessed, but I'll put it out there that you all shouldn't just assume that I know your boss's daughter's boyfriend's band. :)
-
Let’s go slackers!!

i mean, if it's mine, i've sent every other submission in band - song format, so :P
-
i mean, if it's mine, i've sent every other submission in band - artist format, so :P

I always specify what the artist, album, and song title is. I never assume anything. :loser:

I telepathically communicate all my roulette submissions

I'm waiting on ONE at this point.

Never thought I would say that but... Tim, can you start with blue balls please?
-

YES!!!! PLEASE!!
-
Never thought I would say that but... Tim, can you start with blue balls please?
When Stadler says half, what he means, and as how we've done this the whole roulette as we wait for stragglers, is that he will send me 6 Crybaby songs and 6 Blue Balls songs so I can at least get started.
And we will be tending to the Crybabies first and the Blue Balls will have to..um..wait. ;D
-
Darn, my blue balls song is the better one IMO
I just assigned them arbitrarily tbh
-
And we will be tending to the Crybabies first and the Blue Balls will have to..um..wait. ;D
Well, it's your call. Couldn't hurt to ask.
My crybabies song is fantastic so I'm ready for my 4/12.

I'm sending my balls to TAC as we speak.

Hah!
Well, I got 6 Blue Balls songs and 5 Crybaby songs. I had to send one song back because it was actually used in my last roulette, and scored very well.
Stadler says the last slacker is in, so I expect to have everything in the morning. I am off tomorrow, so we will definitely get the hangbaby going.
-
what crybaby song :corn

Someone trying to cheat in the last round? Must be Jingle. :biggrin:

Hmm, you know, I saw Lonestar's post this morning before I brought my kids to school, and as I was considering responses, I thought of the obvious joke about the fact that maybe we got to 80 pages because J-Boy wasn't participating, but I thought, nah..I'll take the high road. ;D
-
Fair enough. Seeing as how you missed the exit, I'll take that high road now. ;)
-
What's wrong with 80 pages of sophisticated discussion.
-
A couple of years ago 5 pages was long for a roulette thread :lol
I think roulettes are more fun now as well. This obviously means: more pages = more fun. This roulette is 80 pages so far, so that equals to 80 fun.
-
what crybaby song :corn
While Heaven Wept-The Furthest Shore
Ninja sent that to me in the Epic Round in my last roulette. Great tune BTW.
-
Call me whack but I look forward to the roulette threads more than any other. It's got everything a forum could ask for: serious discussion, smack talk, fun... I don't even care where I finish, I just like being part of the conversation (don't get me wrong, I put a lot of thought into the songs, but I'm not necessarily ONLY using "what will score the highest?" as the criteria).

Too bad you're just discovering it. This is the final round. We certainly could've used your commentary throughout, and while I didn't send out any invites, it would've been great to have had you.
One of the things I'm doing is compiling some lists and shit, so the playlists will be all posted in one spot. There's been so much great music here that I don't even know where to begin.

Pink Cream 69 is one of the grossest band names I can think of, and I came across Cock & Ball Torture once.
-
Here are the Crybabies' First Listen Impressions:
"I expected something a little more AOR, and you're taking a chance with this vocalist."
"WOW! Great song. Not the shortest by any stretch but this totally held my attention."
"I think I would've preferred Night Ranger to this."
"Cool tune by a band that was sent before , and is already on my short list of bands to check out. Although I think I like the previous song better."
"I'm a sucker for old school rock like this."
"I think I generally liked this song. It has good playing. It's solid."
"Top 5 song in this roulette. And I'm only halfway through. Scratch that, the second half not nearly as strong or interesting."
"Real progressive sound. Updated, yet classic sounding."
"Really cool song, like being on a journey."
"Solid and heavy. Right up my alley."
"This song totally rocks. But it is way too long."
"It wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting."
-

I'm pretty sure I know which one is yours. Heck, I'm 11 for 16 in picking yours!

The Crybaby round might be one of the strongest of the roulette. I absolutely love tracks 12-3. The Bottom two are set, so unfortunately I could really love your song and it may get a 4 or a 5..

So I effectively have the Crybabies stacked. I'll do writeups tomorrow night and get the results off to Stadler on Friday.
I also have Moonsorrow and An Abstract Illusion tied. I can't decide which one to rank over the other.
They are both too long. I feel the first half of An Abstract Illusion is the best half of each song, but the second half is the weakest half of each song, whereas the Moonsorrow is more consistent throughout.

I'm incredible, I know

That's a yop 3 Angra song for me.

Blue Balls First Listen Impressions:
"Great instrumental section, in an otherwise blah song."
"This tunes rocks and grooves big time."
"Solid tune. Crazy vocals."
"Solid tune. Not sure what else to say. Doesn't stand out."
"I feel like this will get better with more listens, but if you were going to send this band again, there is no way that this is their best song."
"There is a lot to chew on here. This will need more listens."
"Some great musical moments, especially the outro. Just not sure it was worth the vocals."
"This has promise, but I'm not nuts about the singer. Surprisingly good musically"
"I feel like I don't like the music enough to put up with those vocals."
"Loved the jamming solo. Reminds me of old school Blackfoot"
"I cannot even believe someone sent this to me."
-
The last one

The last one
Definitely not. :lol
I'm surprised Paramath didn't notice there were only 11 impressions..
-
I mean I did notice that
Because you already gave the impression for An Abstract Illusion, which I did not send

Well, that last impression couldn't be further from yours.

I'm guessing he sent Elvis. :corn
-
elvis costello!
-
Good Time Indiscipline might have the Blues..
-
elvis costello!
What's so funny bout'....
-
Is that an Elvis Costello joke that literally no one will get, besides Indiscipline? :lol
-
i mean i assume so
i don't know much about elvis costello beyond his existence
-
Same here.
He wears glasses. I know that.
I couldn't name a single Elvis Costello song.
-
there was one song in rock band 2 i forgot what it was called but it sucked to play

Song lyrics dummies.

It's only been played on radio forever! I shouldn't blame Parama. He didn't grow up in the radio era but you Tim? Jesus. Lol
-
But Parama had Rock Band 2 and has heard more Elvis Costello than me! :lol
-
like half the song was one single riff

Tim, you're too old for Rockband.

I feel like TAC would write the first one, but I am almost positive that the last one is really mine.

Its either you or Indiscipline. :lol
Stadler, I’ll have the results to you between 3:00 and 4:00 today. Bee on the lookout.
-
I don't want to go to Chelsea!
-
OK, the Results have been sent.
Here are my guesses..
Parama- you said you didn't send An Abstract Illusion, but I was positive you did. So now I'm not sure..
While Heaven Wept Evermind
The Beatles Indiscipline
Kingcrow Evermind or Elite
Triosphere Kattelox
An Abstract Illusion Puppiesor Parama
The Outfield Stadler
Moonsorrow Puppies or Seneca
Pink Cream 69 Lethean
Primordial Parama
Rory Gallagher Kwyjibo
Mercenary Wolfking
Edge Of Reality Kingshmegland
Total guesswork on most of these..
-
when i said that, i was referring to the other round
-
I forgot what I sent the day after I sent them but I think you're right, Triosphere was mine :lol
-
Absolutely not. :P
-
I sent the results back to Boss, and I am crying just a little bit, crying just a little bit.
-
Absolutely not. :P
That guess made me actually LOL :lol
-
Dead on with my pick.
-
No Rory from me.

12. Senecadawg2..Primordial - Empire Falls
"WOW! Great song. Not the shortest by any stretch but this totally held my attention."
This song is amazing. Seneca..? You've been holding out, man. I loved this from front to back and had me headbanging the entire time. This vocalist is great too. I have to check into this band. Nice job, Nelson. Glad you got a Round win after taking it on the chin.
11. Indiscipline..Rory Gallagher - Follow Me
"I'm a sucker for old school rock like this."
This was fantastic. I'm glad it had a melodic chorus after getting through the verses. But holy shit, the guitar playing is amazing. I could seriously listen to this kind of music all day long. A Schenkerific solo to boot. Awesome!! Nice find.
10. Wolfking..Mercenary - Through Our Darkest Days
"Solid and heavy. Right up my alley."
Great modern, yet classic sounding metal song. Fantastic solo. I've dropped the needle on Mercenary before. I think Cody sent them to me in my last roulette. Gotta check them out. Love it!
9. Evermind..While Heaven Wept - Vessel
"Really cool song, like being on a journey."
Very epic feeling song. It's quite subtle, and honestly, I was waiting to feel a bit more tension. Still, it's a great song that you can lose yourself in. Love the nod to We Got The Right at the 5:00 minute mark.
8. Lethean..Kingcrow - Phlegethon
"Cool tune by a band that was sent before , and is already on my short list of bands to check out. Although I think I like the previous song better."
I liked this song from the first note. This band scored high in an earlier round. Like the An Abstract Illusion and Moonsorrow songs, this is at least 3 minutes too long, and that's not even counting the ambient ending.
Still, this was way more accessible than the two previously mentioned songs.
7. Kattelox..Triosphere - My Fortress
"I think I generally liked this song. It has good playing."
This song really grew on me. It didn't start this high, but I found myself trying a little too hard to like the An Abstract Illusion and Moonsorrow tunes, whereas with this, it just felt more naturally enjoyable.
6. Parama..An Abstract Illusion - Skeletons Of Light
"Top 5 song in this roulette. And I'm only halfway through. Scratch that, the second half not nearly as strong or interesting."
I am so confused on this song. On first listen, I was blown away in the first half, but far less so in the second half. It's weird but as the round went on, this song kind of wore off on me. But still, there are many amazing parts of this song. Yet, it goes on and on and it is in some serious need of some editing. I feel like if they just killed it at the 8:00 mark, it would've been perfect. It's 16 minutes, but it feels like 36 minutes.
5. Puppies..Moonsorrow - Pimea
"This song totally rocks. But it is way too long."
I liked this song a lot. It really grooves on the ride cymbal. Reminds me of the last Tribulation album.
And while I love the pocket this song sits in, it sits in it for 16 fucking minutes. That's way to long for what this song does, or doesn't do. Had this been like 6 mintes, it'd have scored a lot higher I think.
4. Kwyjibo..Pink Cream 69 - Face In The Mirror
"I expected something a little more AOR, and you're taking a chance with this vocalist."
I was happy to get a Deris Era tune. I don't think I've actually heard any before. It rocked harder than I expected. I like him in this style more than I do in Helloween. Another victim of the stack, I'm afraid. It's just a little too straightforward to stand out.
3. Kingshmegland..Edge Of Reality - Teeth Of The Universe
"Real progressive sound. Updated, yet classic sounding."
This song started out pretty high actually. But with each listen, it just started to lose its luster. I found the vocalist a little annoying. I did like it though but the competition was just too strong. It has a great chorus, but its score is really just a function of the stack. Songs 7-3 were basically even.
2. Elite..The Beatles - Cry Baby Cry
"It wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting."
So I appreciate this. I really do. I don't think I've ever heard this. But I've heard enough Beatles to know that I have zero interest in them. I certainly can't take anything away from this song though.
1. Stadler..The Outfield - Every Time You Cry
"I think I would've preferred Night Ranger to this."
God. This was awful. I mean, this was an open round, bro.
-
see this is why you shuld've let met send aephememer
-
see this is why you shuld've let met send aephememer
:lol
It would've done much better. :lol
This round was tough because the An Abstract Illusion and Moonsorrow tunes were like the two giant fucking monsters right in the middle of the playlist. When I say I loved both, I mean I loved about 6-8 minutes of both. But after that, it was like Death Metal Grateful Dead.
I bet these tracks would be great if I were baked! :lol
-
Well, not happy about the score but a strong round for you hurt me. Ah well.
-
Well, not happy about the score but a strong round for you hurt me. Ah well.
A strong round means some are going to get... blue balled.
:neverusethis:
E: dammit this was the crybaby set :lol
-
Well, not happy about the score but a strong round for you hurt me. Ah well.
I know, man. I'm sorry. ;D
It just wore off on me a bit whereas some other songs got better. If I were scoring the round, songs 6-3 would've gotten a 7.5.
That said, I'm checking them out for sure, so thank you for that. Seems they also have a new song on Spotify and a new album out soon. The new song is excellent.
-
They are playing at RoSfest this weekend. Nick and Mason are there.
-
Damn just outside of the top 5 for this round. Glad you liked it though. That's about the only Triosphere song I can say I really like but they might have other stuff that's better, I dunno. They're really good live though.
-
I'm pretty sure I've dropped the needle on them before, and have liked what I've heard. That song climbed with each listen.
-
Heyy... not bad :tup
I think you'll find that album up your alley
-
Heyy... not bad :tup
I think you'll find that album up your alley
What took you so long??
That song was great!
I thought the band's name sounded familiar. I have their last album Saved on Spotify. They were not banned though so good for you. Both you and Elite picked a non banned Spotify band on my list and won a round with them.
I'm going to dig in on them for sure.
-
I sent the results back to Boss, and I am crying just a little bit, crying just a little bit.
Me and you both.
-
Nice. That album is killer Tim, I think you'd like it.
Although with Ruslan getting a 9, looks like he's wrapped this up.
-
pray for the blue balls to drop
-
I sent the results back to Boss, and I am crying just a little bit, crying just a little bit.
Me and you both.
Elite, the Beatles?? How old do you think I am?? You must have me confused with Stadler and Kingshmegland. :lol
-
Hey, Pimea is only 14 minutes. I demand a recount! :neverusethis:

I sent the results back to Boss, and I am crying just a little bit, crying just a little bit.

skeletons of light is great the whole way through, anyways
just ask the person who sent it in blue ball space
-
Hey, Pimea is only 14 minutes. I demand a recount! :neverusethis:
Well, it felt like 16! :lol
After listening to the album again, I think you may have liked Haaska more. It's still 14 minutes long, but more dynamic. I think the best song on the album is Jotunheim. The only reason I didn't send it was because of the last 3 minutes being ambient sounds and field recordings...
skeletons of light is great the whole way through, anyways
just ask the person who sent it in blue ball space
Agreed :corn
-
Pup, I'm going to check out that Moonsorrow album for sure. Even though it got a 5, I still really liked it. The Crybaby Round is so much stronger than the Blue Balls Round. Kingshmegland's song that got a 3 was another song I really liked. The Blue Balls Round drops off around 8 or so.
-
i should've sent skeletons in the blue balls round instead :yeahright
-

In the Light Round Parama submitted Stortregn-Children Of The Obsidian Light, which won the round.
To which Parama said:
that album is a in a weird place to me because i almost got it last year but couldn't find it for a decent price, then ended up not getting it and then revisiting it later and not really being too into the entire album, mostly just that one song
but then i spun it again like a week or two ago and was like "hmm this is pretty cool though"
it's like the most borderline "i want this" album
I do think Children is easily the best song on this. Nonexistence is amazing too.
Most of the Eclipsist is fantastic. Musically, this album is damned great. But there is way too many blastbeaty screamy/growlie parts on this.
I have it Saved and will revisit a couple of songs, but I am definitely passing on a purchase. Still one of the best songs of the roulette though.
-
Kade needs to score two points higher than me in the blue balls round to make it a tie, and three points higher to win this thing, it's still very much possible.
Primordial is pretty great, yeah.
-
I sent the results back to Boss, and I am crying just a little bit, crying just a little bit.
Me and you both.
Elite, the Beatles?? How old do you think I am?? You must have me confused with Stadler and Kingshmegland. :lol
Come on, it was the only song in my library that literally has ‘crybaby’ in the title. I do however agree that it’s not nearly the best Beatles song on the album.
-
Kade needs to score two points higher than me in the blue balls round to make it a tie, and three points higher to win this thing, it's still very much possible.
Primordial is pretty great, yeah.
With what I sent and based on past results, I'm not confident at all.
-
genuinely hope you two tie and TAC has to add another round for a tiebreaker
-
In this thread: I'm pretty sure Kade won, Kade's pretty sure I won. We're the shining beacons of self-confidence.
-
the real winner is seneca

except when he sends a full-blown death metal EP

I was just about to wax poetic about submitting Results for the 18th and final time, and dammit, Stadler's Inbox is full! :lol
Considering this is the Blue Balls round, it's probably appropriate. ;D
-
:lol

I think I know how to get his attention.. Gonna send out the signal..

Hasn't worked yet... maybe you should've written "Trump is deplorable".
j/k. I respect Stadler's posts at P/R and understand where he's coming from while I don't always agree with him. :) I rarely post there myself because I don't know enough about US politics to make a worthy contribution.

So in the Man Round, Kingshmegland sent Cell 15-Man With A Gun.
Man With A Gun came in 3rd in the round and has a heavy Styx influence. I decided to check this album out today. Yes, the Styx influence is huge. It's a lot more keyboard than I would've hoped/liked.
Man With A Gun is the best song here, but I also really liked Faith Without Works.
-
Can we please keep politics out of this.
Tim only knows about Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan.
:lol
-
Faith Without Works is my favorite from the album. This album is an autobiography of the lead singer who went to jail. They were great live.
Plus you've got to admit, that President joke was killer. :lol

I sent the results back to Boss, and I am crying just a little bit, crying just a little bit.

Soilwork - 12

(https://i.imgur.com/23aMeMu.jpg)
12. Wolfking...Soilwork - Spirit Of The Future Son
"Some great musical moments, especially the outro. Just not sure it was worth the vocals."
Musically, this was my favorite song of the round. I hear so much Michael Schenker in this. The vocals are pretty rough, but I got used to them pretty quickly. And for the third time in this roulette, I got goosebumps. During the outro. Again, Schenker. That's a sweet spot.
11. Parama...Wilderun - The Garden Of Fire
"There is a lot to chew on here. This will need more listens."
I liked this. Lots of riffing, but quite melodic in parts. There was a part mid song, where the keyboards come in, and you can hear a harpsichord (I think) blled through. And the mellow pasrt about 7 minutes through with the clean vocals was outstanding. I love the Irish influnce here.
10. Seneca...Helker - No Chance To Be Reborn
"Solid tune. Crazy vocals."
Holy Dio, Batman! This is another solid tune. Can't take anything away from it. I don't know though. It just feels like it's mssing something. I kept waiting for a "Holy Shit, OMG" moment, but it never delivered. But damn, those vocals.
9. Kwyjibo...Pride And Glory - Horse Called War
"Loved the jamming solo. Reminds me of old school Blackfoot."
I remember when Pride And Glory came out. I like it so much better than BLS. I mentioned Blackfoot, but that is what this reminds me of, which is a very good thing. I really enjoyed this.
8. Puppies...An Abstract Illusion - Skeletons Of Light
"Top 5 song in this roulette. And I'm only halfway through. Scratch that, the second half not nearly as strong or interesting."
I am so confused on this song. On first listen, I was blown away in the first half, but far less so in the second half. It's wierd but as the round went on, this song kind of wore off on me. But still, there are many amazing parts of this song. Yet, it goes on and on andit is in some serious need of some editing. I feel like if they just killed it at the 8:00 mark, it would've been perfect. It's 16 minutes, but it feels like 36 minutes.
7. Evermind...Trail Of Murder - Your Silence
"Solid tune"
Yeah, as I said, solid. Loved the harmonzed melodic chorus. Urban Breed has a great voice. Very nice controlled solo. Certainly nothing to not like about this song.
6.. Kingshmegland...Freaky Jelly - Nothing To Feel
"This has promise, but I'm not nuts about the singer. Surprisingly good musically"
This was really nice. Not great, but nice. The singer reminds me a bit of the guy from Odd Dimension. Will definitely check them out, but honestly I would hope they have a bit more heaviness in them. Some serious JP in that solo though.
5. Lethean...Angra - Ego Painted Grey
"Great instrumental section, in an otherwise blah song."
The only thing I really liked was the instrumental section. the rest of it is mid tempo mumbojumbo.
4. Stadler...Elvis Presley - Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues
"I cannot even believe someone sent this to me."
Elvis Presley?? Actually, this was a nice little tune. Some cool twangy guitar in this. Nice audible bass too.
3. Indiscipline...Extrema - Child Of Boogaow
"This tunes rocks and grooves big time."
This song has some moments of sick grooves. But I really hate the "Child Of Boogaow" part. This song need a chorus with more melody. It would've made it far more interesting, and less juvenile.
2. Kattelox...Voyager - Iron Dream
"I feel like this will get better with more listens, but if you were going to send this band again, there is no way that this is their best song."
I can't help but feel that this band is capable of so much more. This feels like some 80's heavy pop song, like maybe from a teen movie soundtrack or something. There is just no "Wow" factor to make this stand out though.
1. Elite...Obsidian Kingdom - Cinnamon Balls
"I feel like I don't like the music enough to put up with those vocals."
I'm not sure what the point of this song was... I've gotten a couple of songs now by Obsidian Kingdom, and despite the fantastic band name, I've been unimpressed. I do plan on dropping the needle on them because I feel like there's potential there, but this song ain't it.

That entire album is killer, one of my all time faves & considering that's the heaviest song I suspect you'd like the entire thing a lot
Yeah, crap I should have sent that :lol
At least I went with the theme in the last round! No-one else did.
Less than half the score the winner has.. that has got to be a record, right? :lol
-
Also heck yeah fourth place
Just outside of the top three so I'm the first place loser
-
Goddamned bonus round screwed the Ruskie.
I know, I feel so bad. Evermind had been so consistent, but then again, so had Wolfking. Heck Puppies was right there too through 7 rounds.
I didn't fix results obviously, because I had no idea who sent what, but I was pretty sure Kade sent Soilwork, which I'm sorry, WAS the best song in the round, and was pretty sure Ruslan sent Helker. That was the legit 3rd best track.
I sent the results yesterday (well actually this morning because Stadler's inbox was full), but the results were finalized yesterday. In my mind, we had a tie. I literally spent all night and this morning thinking of an interesting tiebreaker, and I finally came up with one.
-
Well, it seems he's getting as good at chocking away a win as I am! :lol
-
All I know is, I sent Night Ranger, The Outfield, and Elvis fucking Presley and did NOT finish in last place! :)
-
So I have a lot to say over the next couple of days but I want to start with two big thank yous.
First off, I want to thank Kingshmegland for the great Stadler photoshop pictures.
It started with an idea to put Stadler's head on a secretary's body. I was expecting actual Stadler's head, but Joe sent me the Gene Simmons head on it, and I roared. That is the pic in the OP, and then we just had fun with it from there.
I told him I wanted a few with Robert Kraft and he just killed it.
So Joe..thank you so much for adding to this roulette. Those late night texts had me laughing my ass off.
And obviously, to Stadler
You have no idea how much I appreciate what you did and all of the work I know you put in. Thank you so much for offering to do this. This roulette would not have worked without you.
Bill, thank you so much.
-
You couldn't be more wrong about Voyager but I'll let it slide since I finished in the top 5. This was a super fun roulette, TAC, thanks for letting me play, and Stadler, thank you for being a good secretary :)
-
I must say, the more I listened to that Voyager song, the less I liked it.
-
Wow. You ever heard of Beltone? :lol
-
I have never heard of Beltone. Is that a person or a character in one of your games? :lol
-

It's a hearing aid company, smartass! :lol

:facepalm:
:rollin

I must say, the more I listened to that Voyager song, the less I liked it.
On this matter, Tim and I agree.

Voyager just aren't very interesting, in my experience
-
Bah! All of you. :lol
-
Tim, nothing funnier than me giggling like a teenager making the photoshopped pictures and my wife asking me, "What the hell are you laughing at?" :lol
-

I got the same response. Trust me. :lol
"That's my friend Joe from the forums and he's sending me pictures of a Gene Simmons head for a thing I'm doing." My wife's eyes rolled so far back, I thought I'd never see them again. :lol
-
:lol
Grown up 99% of the time. Come on wives. Lol

I definitely enjoyed following Stadlertary's adventures. :corn
-
Here he is showing off for the boys at the bowling alley this weekend..

Well, I have to say, this Roulette was great fun and I finished on the podium! I kind of fizzled out towards the end with the songs I sent, though.
Thanks for having me. Thanks to Stadlertary for all his/her hard work. Thanks to King for all of the covert photographs of Stadlertary.

Congrats Kade and thanks Tim and Stadler for running this!

9. Kwyjibo...Pride And Glory - Horse Called War
"Loved the jamming solo. Reminds me of old school Blackfoot."
I remember when Pride And Glory came out. I like it so much better than BLS. I mentioned Blackfoot, but that is what this reminds me of, which is a very good thing. I really enjoyed this.
The bolded part is so true. I like some Black Label Society but Pride & Glory was way better, don't know why Zakk didn't follow that southern rock path.
But anyway:
Thanks for letting me participate, it was loads of fun, and although I complained about the themes on various occasions, they added definitely to the fun. And hey, I'm not in last place. :metal :biggrin:
And hopefully some of the music I sent is something you will investigate further.
And naturally, thanks to Stadler for being such a good secretary.
And thanks to Kingshmegland for your photoshop contributions.
And congratulation to Wolfking for winning this thing.
And thanks to all the others for their contributions and (sometimes) silly banter, I had a lot of laughs and that's all that matters. :tup

WOW!!!!! Thanks Tim, and sorry Ruslan, a great game. Very happy I managed to come out on top of this one though. Definitely one of coolest and most fun roulettes I've been involved in. Thanks Stadler too.
You can see why I was kicking myself when I forgot about Spirits of the Future Sun after I sent Behemoth! :lol Glad I could redeem that round. That album is amazing Tim and knew it would at least do better than the other Soilwork song. The Chainheart Machine just made my top 50.
-
Congrats to wolfking and a pat on the back to Evermind.
Tim, this was overly fun and engaging, and i believe you have concocted the best roulette format this side of Chris Walken.
A great bunch of guys pushed it to the top and, of course, Stadler oiled the machine like a pro and King always delivers.
I thank you all!
-
Hey, I appreciate the kind words, but it's really been my pleasure. I like this sort of thing, I liked being a part of it, and I had as much fun with the photos as anyone else. This has been a treat, and for the last month or so, was LITERALLY the very first thread I'd check on when coming on, and even got me on the board over the weekends a couple times (no easy feat!)
So, thanks Tim for trusting me with this, and thanks for everyone else's patience with me. Now, go clean out the break room refrigerator, because I'm not your maid!
-
Bonus rounds, my one weakness. :lol
I was positive you sent the Helker, and was totally expecting a tie. I thought there was a chance you sent Trail Of Murder. Trail Of Murder actually started out lower, and rose to 7.
I felt bad because you were at the top for so long.
This is why I wanted to do an anonymous roulette.
-
I sent that Helker song to Jason once. :lol But I think initially Nelson sent it to me in my first roulette so it's only fair he sent them. No hard feelings at all, I had a lot of fun playing this. Themes were great.
I was actually thinking of sending Ne Obliviscaris, decided it would be too risky. :lol
-
I should've sent Forget Not at some point tbh
-
I want to use this format for a quick roulette, without the anonymity. I love the black/white life/death etc. stuff
-
If I joined that roulette you can be absolutely sure you'd get growls from me for a lack of options
That being said there's like no roulette queue right now and I have music I need to send to someone, anyone
-
I just finished like 2 months ago though :lol
-
I suggest coming up with different words though, that'd be fun. And yeah, not that soon, but maybe in a year.
-
I wished I had used God & Devil which I would've accepted Christ and Satan too.

I liked the themes. It was something different. And even though it meant I couldn't necessarily send the best song (or even one I was familiar with in some cases), it also meant there was little agonizing over what to send.
Voyager still rules. Though I have to say I was questioning Kattelox's song choice. I like the song and thought it was great live too, but didn't think it would score well here. Then again neither did a lot of the songs I picked, so what do I know? :)
-
I LOVE the idea of themes. So what if you can't send (what you think) is the greatest song of all time. It's a way of leveling the playing field, and testing the creativity of the participants. I enjoy the crap out of it.
And the two word themes are an almost limitless treasure trove. Anything polar would work, potentially.

Y'know, I was initially going to send Randy Newman (because I sent 2 songs I really really love for the last round) but I thought, no, I want to try to score higher than a 1... and I guess I did, but only by a hair :lol :lol :lol
-
I enjoyed playing Tim, thanks for making this such a hoot. The themes certainly set it apart and I'd gladly play in another roulette with a similar structure, even though I sometimes struggled :lol
Thanks to Stadler, too, and all the rest who participated in the roulette/thread
-
As I mentioned early, I wasn't sold on the theme word idea, but by the end, it possibly became the coolest and most enjoyable roulette I may have ever been a part in.
-

I almost sent that instead of Skeletons of Light for the last round. Probably should have.
-
I would've changed my crybaby song to Aephanonymous but TAC wouldn't let me :P

Thanks Kade, and coming from you, you have no idea how much that means to me.
Honestly I thought the themes would be something to spur discussion and banter.
Kade, you made a great post in this a few weeks ago..
Yeah, TAC, you complain about the quality of songs in the roulette but that's a problem your themes caused, as I called out on literally the first page of this thread :P
I shared this initial thought, but once we got going, I found the themes even though limiting choices quite a bit, made me explore more and send much more interesting stuff then I normally would. If this was a normal roulette, I would probably send Tim Firewind type basic metal over and over again and we'd both get bored. Never would I have ever thought to send Children of Bodom in a roulette and look how that panned out.
...and again..
I don't hold roulettes to discover music. I hold roulettes to interact and meet people.
My first roulette was all my metal regular friends. These guys I consider my DTF circle. In fact Wolfking won it!
For my second roulette, I told them to stay out, and I only accepted guys that I had basically literally no interactions with before. Total strangers. But after that, and then playing in their respective roulettes and doing pretty well generally, it's been a fantastic experience, getting to know them a little.
What I like about this roulette, which is easily my favorite, is that it's a great mix of my old school friends and my new school ones. Plus a few guys that hadn't participated in either of the first two roulettes.
This has easily been my best roulette in terms of music sent, albums already purchased, and yuks had.
In my first roulette, I never followed up with anything except I bought one of the albums Wolfking sent me. I think I listened to it once.
In my second roulette, again, I didn't really follow up on much and didn't buy anything.
In this roulette, which had a great mix of participants, I've already checked out about 10 albums, and reviewed them in this thread, and purchased a half dozen albums with more to come.
I do have a couple of closing posts still to come.
-
every time i sent you melodic death metal-type stuff it scored well and every time i didn't i scored poorly, so yes, i would've basically sent the same thing but slightly different 18 times if i had the option :metal

:lol
Roulettes are funny things regarding strategy.
I think we all would like to score well, but at the end of the day, it's about sharing good music and good times.
I really liked Stadler's roulettes, because in both of them, I took the tact of not worrying about winning, but I wanted to share things that were important to me, and I thought he'd appreciate.
For you young guys, I'm not expert in melodo-death, but I've had this great period of discovery and have still scored relatively well.
I mean, Parama, in the last year, I finished 2nd and 4th in your roulettes. Two years ago, I didn't even know you except you were in a group of guys that posted in the album listening thread a bunch of albums that had no band name or titles on the cover! :lol
I remember what the fuck are these guys listening to? :lol
That's when I had the idea of having a 2nd roulette with all the people I didn't know. I am so happy I did it.
-
Tim, I will allow you to buy some pussy music. It's ok. :lol
-
Oh gee, thanks! :rollin
-
:lol
Night!

So this was going to be my tiebreaker between Evermind and Wolfking. Like I said, I was 90% sure Evermind sent Helker.
I was going to have a Small/Medium/Large tiebreaker round.
I was going to have them each send 3 songs, all open.
1. Small-Under 4 minutes
2. Medium- 6-8 minutes
3. Large-Over 10 minutes
But I was going to have 3 volunteers do the same, almost like a control group, to really hide the anonymity. I feel like I could bang out 15 more songs, but not have everyone contribute.
In the end, only Wolfking vs Evermind's scores would've counted.
Anyway, that was my idea, and I was almost positive we were headed that way.
-
That would have been a fun way to end it, if it came to that. :metal
-
I literally didn't sleep Sunday into Monday because of it. Everytime I woke up during the night I was thinking TIE BREAKER TIEBREAKER!!!! :lol
-
That would have been a cool ass tiebreaker.
-
Three more songs after the bonus round? I'm glad Kade won. :lol
-

Should we do it anyway and try and get this bad boy to 100 pages? ;D

I'm still sending TAC 10 Toto and Rhapsody songs. Just have to figure out which could possibly win him over. :hat

You'd have better luck winning him over with Endgame.

:lol He liked that one Rhapsody song plenty, and there are a bunch more along those lines! At least they're metal. Toto I fear will, somehow, be a tougher sell.
-
I’m all for whatever you want to send!
-
I may send something I've been holding onto because I deemed it unsafe after doing results in my roulette.
-
I need to send TAC a playlist of random crap I figure he might like too
-
Yes and yes!!
