Hi, guys! It's been more than a year since my v2 ended and I wanted to run one more roulette. To be honest, I didn't like my second roulette that much because I didn't have that much time and near the end it just felt forced near the end, it took too much time for me to do the writeups etc. And also, I think I got much better songs in v1 :lol But enough of the negative stuff, let's make this one great!
I still haven't decided on number of participants (thinking 8-12) but I'd like to have some new people, feel free to join. If there are „too many“ people we'll just do one elimination round or let everyone play. The more the merrier! ;)
(I know some of you already signed up in Roulette thread but please do it here as well, just to make sure)
Participants:
1. Cyril
2. Lethean
3. senecadawg2
4. FlyingBIZKIT
5. Puppies_On_Acid
6. Evermind
7. TAC
8. Kattelox
9. Sacul
10. home
11. Kwyjibo
12. wolfking
13. Stadler
Roulette format:
So I decided to do something else this time. I didn't like elimination roulette at all and I don't like to play in those that much because I tend to play safer and that's less fun. This won't be elimination nor the usual, 1-10 points roulette. Instead, it'll be like this: the most points you can get in round is N where N is number of players, the least you can get is 1, and two songs can't get same score. But… it's not really ranking based yet something in between ranking and rating system because there are half points increments. Let's say there are 12 participants: if round is crazy good, the best song will get 12 points and the worst will get 6.5 (any other song will get something in between). If the round is really bad, the best song could get only 6.5 points. I think this way you could dominate if you really get my tastes but still get back on track if you fail miserably in 1 or 2 rounds. Also, the points you get are influenced by how good or bad others' songs are, yet not that much as in simple ranking roulette.
To make it even more interesting and give you a chance to redeem yourself in case you get low score (or just for fun): you can send me a song you think is tastebreaker and that way get 1-3 points more that you would otherwise, potentially shifting your rivals down by a few points (but you can't get more than maximum number of points). Few examples: jazz would probably get you a point since I like it but don't really listen to it that much and do not consider myself a fan. You'd get 3 points for something like reggae (I hardly ever heard it and I'm not sure if I want :lol ). Hip-hop is somewhere in between. You'll have to make a case (a sentence or two), why you think you should get those bonus points and I'll consider it after I hear it for the first time (and you'll get a chance to resubmit if I don't think it's tastebreaker).
Other rules:
- 8 open rounds
- you can just send me artist – song name in pm and I'll find song on Spotify but you can link me file, youtube or anything else for special version or if you know song is not available on Spotify
- once sent, band is banned in future rounds
- no time limit but beware, I'm not too keen of super long songs and I usually need some time to get into them
- send on time! (48h after results at last)
Tastes:
(banned artists in second post)
Lately, I've realized I stopped exploring new music and this is the chance to get back on track with that. As of my favorite genres, I guess it’s all the same as it was in v2 with few changes. Prog is still my favorite genre, followed by indie rock/folk. New addition to my favorites is synthpop, both older (Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, New Order) and newer (Ulver, Gunship, Carly Rae Jepsen). I don’t appreciate extreme music that much anymore, other than black metal which I hold in high regard. Can’t say I’m listening to it that much but started to like more straightforward rock and metal more than I did before. Iron Maiden somehow returned to my playlist, after not listening to them after I saw them live last year (that usually happens to me after live shows :D ).
And yes, I still love depressing music :lol

If I'm allowed to send mostly 70s/80s/90s shit and
if I'm allowed to send some stuff in advance because I'm away for 2-3 weeks in July and I don't know if I find the time and internet connection while I'm away
then I'd like to participate.
-
Sent some (non-metal) grooviness.

You're allowed everything as long as I have your submission by the time I want to start listening (2 days after results)
-
Alright, then I'm in
-
Did anyone send you Beyond the Bridge before? Just curious.
Meanwhile, sent for Round 1. I've reread the first roulette (where I participated) and boy did I not know what I was doing at the time. Playing for the win this time around.
-
Did anyone send you Beyond the Bridge before? Just curious.
I don't think anyone did but it was sent so many times in other roulettes I had to check it, should be banned.
-
90% times it was probably sent by me, too. Other 9% is RJ. :lol
-
i'm in if you'll have me...
-
Up to how many tastebreaker points might i get for sending some country, assuming you like it of course?
-
Sent some music.
Can I get tastebreaker points only once?
Can I still get tastebreaker points for genres that were sent by others in previous rounds?
-
What are Tastebreaker points? Are these real?

Sure :tup

Probably 2-2.5. And I don't have to like it, you'll just get 3 points instead of 1 :loser:
Can I get tastebreaker points only once?
Can I still get tastebreaker points for genres that were sent by others in previous rounds?
You can get it in every round. You just need to send something I rarely listen to, doesn't matter if the same genre was sent before.
-
So is something that you rarely listen to everything but:
Prog, indie rock/folk, synthpop, and black metal?
What about: straightforward rock and metal - you said you were starting to listen to it more, so would it not qualify?
Just curious, though I don't expect I'm going to get many taste breaker points. :)
-
Oh no, you wouldn't get any bonus points for almost any kind of metal, more popular genres of rock, indie, certain types of electronic and pop music etc.
More examples: mainstream pop would probably get you 1 point - not something I usually listen to but I'm familiar with.
3 points - if it's something I even hear very rarely and never listen to on my own
EDIT: in the end, all you can do is try and send me something you think is unfamiliar to me
-
Alright, I guess I'll play too mate if you are still taking people.

-
How about some TACbreaker points?
-
Alright, I guess I'll play too mate if you are still taking people.
Glad to have you :tup
And that's it, guys, there's 12 of you. Send me something, those of you who didn't, I'm starting round 1 today.
-
How about some TACbreaker points?
I’ll take some of those!
-
So am I in or out? (Don't get me wrong; I'd love to be in, and I threw my hat in, but if you want to cap it at 12, I fully understand. Completely. Fucker. :) ) I'm kidding of course; you're call but I don't want to send music if it's not wanted or it confuses the issue, but I'm not on the list on page one.

Sent

Started listening and will post first impressions sometimes today. I guess you're interested in hangman :biggrin:
Fun fact: There are two bands I received in my previous roulettes and one band I checked once before and forgot about. Never listened to anything else before and even didn't hear of some bands. So I'd say I like how it's going, not to obvious submissions so far ;)
-
fairly confident the artist i sent is not any of those
-
FIRST IMPRESSIONS!
Combining elements of old and new, sounds really fresh and not predictable at all, even though influences are obvious.
Reminds me of a band that's on my banned list a lot but it lacks something that other band has, at least I don't hear it yet. Enjoyable song nevertheless.
I just don't hear it (yet). It feels just bland and kinda boring.
The best way to describe this song is that it's just sounds, don't like production that much but it'll definitely grow on me once I pick up everything that's happening.
Now, this is not what I expected at all. And that's good thing.
Something I'd probably like few years ago, now: not so much.
Sounds a bit older than it really is. I don't know what other to say, it was uninteresting on first listen.
Not the most original but still good piece of music.
Do not love it right now but I know it is going to grow one me, it just seems too much to take from just one listen.
This piece will be stuck in my head for a long time.
Sometimes something just hit me for unknown reason, I can't even say what it is, I just feel it even though it has elements I wouldn't otherwise like.
The thing that stands out the most are the vocals and given how important those are for me that's great thing. Sadly, quite forgettable otherwise.
I expected it to be more unique, this is just... I don't know, familiar, but in a bad way.
-
No idea what mine is, could be almost all of them.

Maybe those are 13 tidbits about one song ;)
it's not
EDIT: but seriously, I'm really bad at this because I don't want to be too specific and then impressions get not enough specific. Hope it'll get better.

As I said, playing for the win here.

I suspect mine is one of these and I really hope it's the first one. There's a massive, obvious influence in the song I sent.

I could be any of those. I feel like I'm going to be assuming my usual roulette seat; not back of the bus, but close enough to hear the cool kids talking. :)

If you want to know which song match which first impression :hat
Combining elements of old and new, sounds really fresh and not predictable at all, even though influences are obvious. (Subsignal - Finisterre)
Reminds me of a band that's on my banned list a lot but it lacks something that other band has, at least I don't hear it yet. Enjoyable song nevertheless. (Idle Hands - Dragon, Why Do You Cry?)
I just don't hear it (yet). It feels just bland and kinda boring. (Phoebe Bridgers - Funeral)
The best way to describe this song is that it's just sounds, don't like production that much but it'll definitely grow on me once I pick up everything that's happening. (Communic - Conspiracy of Mind) (tbh I lost a word there, ca't remember what I wanted to say :lol )
Now, this is not what I expected at all. And that's good thing. (Daft Punk - Touch)
Something I'd probably like few years ago, now: not so much. (Cobalt - Gin)
Sounds a bit older than it really is. I don't know what other to say, it was uninteresting on first listen. (Broken Bells - Holding On For Life)
Not the most original but still good piece of music. (Bjorn Riis - The Waves)
Do not love it right now but I know it is going to grow one me, it just seems too much to take from just one listen. (Perturbator - Vantablack)
This piece will be stuck in my head for a long time. (Waylon Jennings - Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got Out Of Hand)
Sometimes something just hit me for unknown reason, I can't even say what it is, I just feel it even though it has elements I wouldn't otherwise like. (SIAMES - The Wolf)
The thing that stands out the most are the vocals and given how important those are for me that's great thing. Sadly, quite forgettable otherwise. (Pyramaze - Back For More)
I expected it to be more unique, this is just... I don't know, familiar, but in a bad way. (Odesza - Line of Sight)
Results later today!
-
poo :(

I was hoping that would be my first impression, and I think it applies to Subsignal as a whole. Here's hoping it continued sounding good to you. :)

Here's hoping it has grown on you. ;D

ROUND 1 RESULTS
TAC: Idle Hands - Dragon, Why Do You Cry?
This one wasn’t my favourite song from the start but it has grown on me quite a bit. Even though it’s pretty short I find it to be very deep and has enough for me to come back to it again and again. It hits that sweet spot between being heavy and emotional, it can’t really go wrong if you send me such song. Guy’s voice reminds me of David Gold (Woods of Ypres) a lot (my girlfriend actually though it was him). I can’t decide my favourite part of the song, there is epic chorus, that countdown and guitar solo, verses are cool as well. This is pretty damn close to being perfect song for me and score reflects it.
12 points
Lethean: Subsignal – Finisterre
Neoprog is the genre I like but don’t listen nearly enough. To be honest, I’m sick of all DT and SX copycats, prog metal stuff. The thing about this song and most neoprog I heard is that it most often has element I love in my music (you’ll read it million times in course of this roulette): emotions. And also, while still being pretty technical and on occasions wacky, it breaths much more. I had hard time rating this and it hit me pretty late (actually, as I’m writing this I bumped its score a bit), in the end it deservedly ended up as the second best. P.S. I love love love that chorus, keep it up.
10.5 points
Cyril: SIAMES - The Wolf
Contrary to other songs, this one wasn’t really a grower. Still, as you see it’s up there among my favorites. Unfortunately for you, it used to be my favourite at the beginning. I guess it’s due to not having much to offer, it’s pretty straightforward and the more I listened it got less and less enjoyable. Not to be negative, it’s awesome song and props to you for sending pretty upbeat song after me saying I love depressing stuff. The thing I started to appreciate as more as I listened to it are vocals which, in my opinion, exceed most mainstream and more mainstream sounding stuff. His voice sounds pretty strong. Don’t have much more to say about it, I enjoy it and hope their other stuff is this catchy.
9 points
senecadawg2: Phoebe Bridgers – Funeral
Probably the biggest grower of the round. On my first listen it was really meh, just simple guitar and ok voice, nothing I didn’t hear before. I guess you have to thank the circumstance of me being nostalgic these days (as I said, I’m probably moving to the other side of the country in few months) and it really hit me. This part hits me hard:
And I have this dream where I'm screaming underwater
While my friends are all waving from the shore
And I don't need you to tell me what that means
I don't believe in that stuff anymore
To me, it means he/she is suffering from depression and keeping it to himself/herself, not letting friends to find out. I’m in that place myself so it speaks to me from a different level. All in all, it’s good and meaningful song. I’m not sure if I’d like to listen to full album of stuff like this though, especially if I don’t want to feel like crap afterwards.
8.5 points
Kattelox: Broken Bells - Holding On for Life
First of all, I want to say this reminds me of the band I like, Editors (check them out if you don’t know them). You got it right away, this is kind of music I’m drawn to lately (synth/indie pop). The thing, however, is that it usually doesn’t work for itself, at least for me. When I’m in synthpop mood, I listen to it all day long even though some songs might be less good so I will definitely check them out. This way, the song gets lost among some better songs individually (look above lol). Said that, I still find this very interesting and catchy, vocals are also better than in most similar stuff. Like the old school feel.
8 points
Stadler: Waylon Jennings - Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got Out of Hand
This is one of two songs that deserved bonus points for being tastebreaker and it was the only one where I had no idea what to expect. As I started to listen to it, I realized this kind of music pretty much influenced all of southern rock, even some metal (Metallica, as you mentioned but stuff like Corrosion of Conformity as well). I liked it alright and would listen to it during hot summer months. However, there’s not enough interesting stuff that would make me come back to it or want me to listen to it for hours, few songs and I’m fine. Still, thank you for opening my eyes about this genre, will check it out further.
5.5 + 2 bonus points = 7.5 points
FlyingBIZKIT: Daft Punk – Touch
Yeah, I obviously heard of Daft Punk, they had some radio hits if I’m not mistaken but I didn’t know they had stuff that sounded like this. Both vocals and some instrumental sound like newer David Bowie stuff. Also, I enjoy his timbre a lot, great voice. It’s fluctuating between nostalgic and chill feel, contrast I most often enjoy. Sax part always make me dance/move. Sadly, I think the song overstays its welcome for quite a bit and near the end feels kind of disjointed. Of course, that doesn’t make it any less of a good song but I had to score it a bit lower.
7 points
Evermind: Bjorn Riis – Waves
I almost feel bad for rating it this low as it should be right up my alley. And it is but it just lack that special element to rise above other songs in this round. As you said, it sounds similar to Pink Floyd / David Gilmour and I can listen to their stuff most of the time, at least as background music so I’m glad you send it. Unfortunately, other than the solo, the rest of the song is just ok to me. Vocals are nice, there are emotions present, lyrics are depressing (but not too creative). Guitarwork is best thing about it, really. In less good round you’d probably get more points for this but sadly, it fell in the lower part of the rankings.
6 points
wolfking: Pyramaze - Back For More
Another popular DTF band I heard a lot about but never checked out. My first impression was that it sounded pretty generic and similar to other power-prog stuff that is popular here. Fortunately, vocals exceed it above other similar bands. The singer sounds a lot like Russell Allen (Symphony X), one of my favourite metal singers. Other than that, song is pretty catchy, it’s pretty interesting throughout but sadly I don’t hear the appeal as I’m not the biggest fan of power metal. It’s enjoyable but not more than that.
5.5 points
home: ODESZA - Line Of Sight
Unlike my previous roulette, you didn’t start this one as well. Sadly, I don’t have much positive to say about it. It just sounds like something I would hear on the radio, one of those summer hits. And I don’t hate those, they just don’t hold my attention for nearly enough and feel too similar to one another. There isn’t enough to hold on and the song itself is pretty forgettable even though I enjoy it just alright as I listen to it. However, this sound like something my girlfriend would like, I’ll play it to her :tup At least you got some bonus points :D
4 + 1 bonus point = 5 points
Kwyjibo: Communic - Conspiracy in Mind
Unfortunately for you, you decide to keep this in even though I received one of their songs in my first roulette. Back then, I believe they won the round but I didn’t like the album so I didn’t ban them. Well, I liked this song less than the first one. The question is, why? Well, the biggest problem of this song is that it never stops with riffing and heaviness. And that would be okay if some of those riffs were memorable. Here, I just can’t remember any of them at all as they sound pretty generic. The sad thing is, it really feels like something I should like in theory and it actually sounds similar to Nevermore, band I like (even the vocals). My favourite thing about the song are those operatic vocals, especially in chorus. Just to be clear, I still like the song alright but I felt the need to justify the score as the song, as I already said, sounds like something I should love.
4.5 points
Puppies_On_Acid: Cobalt – Gin
As I said, I got them in my first roulette and didn’t like it back then, do not like it that much now. The biggest reason for it is that it lacks the breathing space I like to have in my heavier music. There’s the song with same characteristic in this same round but at least it has some calmer parts. I’m not saying death or black metal should stop being that just for sake of it but 7 minutes of heaviness is just too much for me right now. Also, even though I quite enjoy most parts it’s just forgettable after the song finishes. It’s not my kind of black metal, I guess.
4 points
Sacul: Perturbator – Vantablack
Oh, the Perturbator. I heard this EP once before when I was checking new music but I didn’t remember it so I allowed it. Again, this sounds like something I should like. But I don’t, at all. It is different from the similar stuff I like (Ulver for example) in a way it’s not catchy, I don’t hear any hooks that make me keep checking them out. This sounds pretty repetitive in a bad way and there’s isn’t much about it I like, other than that change around 2:38. I don’t hate it, to be clear, but I don’t like it either. I would like to check some of their other stuff if it sounded a bit different, I’ll see.

Nice! Didn't expect 1st place, but I thought you might like it given how you mentioned you love The Smiths. I've referred to Idle Hands as a hard rock version of The Smiths.
This is actually my AOTY so far.
The singer, and a couple other members were part of a more classic heavy metal band Spellcaster. their album is very good, but quite different to this.
Sent depressing music in Round 2.

Tomislav - what Sieges Even have you heard that they're banned? If you haven't listened to their 2000s albums, definitely do - it's the same singer and guitar player from Subsignal.

I know only The Art of Navigating by the Stars. And I'm not too familiar with it but I didn't want to receive bands I already know, even if by only few songs.

Guess it's time to send depressing stuff.

I think Katt will vouch for me on this, but if you're interested in the "outlaw country" genre, dig further into Waylon (that man can play guitar for real), but if I was to recommend one album, it would be "Kristofferson", his debut. More mellow than Waylon, but it's an intense listen and really has the philosophical roots of the genre. It's also got the original version of "Me And Bobby McGee" before Janis Joplin made a mockery of it (Interesting fact: there is a version before Kristofferson's, by Roger Miller, and Janis came to know the song when Kris played it to her directly. They were banging at the time.)
Hank, Jr. is always good, too, but he's got a LOT of filler in his catalogue. I'd stick with "The Pressure Is On" for an original album, or a greatest hits package.

I totally agree with this. Stads sent me the Kristofferson album in my album roulette, and the same Waylon Jennings in my last roulette, and some Hank, Jr. I can't recommend that Kristofferson album enough. Really good stuff.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
This builds up nicely but I actually like the stripped down part better.
Emotions make it more interesting that anything else.
Totally boring and forgetful, can't even think of anything else about the song lol.
Even though the song is not too long I feel like I'll need some time to really get everything that's happening and eventually like it. Now it's just blurry thing in my head.
Just some really powerful stuff. But hoped for something „big“ to happen and it didn't.
To be honest, the song could be cut in half and I wouldn't miss anything. Other than that it's fine.
Heavy and beautiful at the same time. Love the soaring guitars.
I guess you get me, this is like me in a song.
Stylistically, probably the most interesting song I got so far, has that “classical” feel.
Sounds too generic, I don’t think it’ll grow on me but we’ll see.
Not nearly the best thing this genre has to offer and while being ok song I don’t think I’ll ever see it as more than it.
If I didn’t know, I’d say this song is much older. Vocals reminds me of older bands and that’s a bit of a turn off.
Not the first time I’m hearing this band but this is the most memorable thing of theirs I heard. Accidentally or not, it’s also the most melancholic.
My first impression about this round is that there is even bigger gap between the best and worsts songs...

Here's your song rankings by round. Of course, in some cases it doesn't mean much. In others, you can figure it out yourself ;) BTW in terms of actual points, it doesn't actually mean you'll get more points than in round 1 as it largely depends on how much I liked other songs. Results probably tomorrow, I still feel tired.

So you rank my song better than last round, which was ranked near the bottom, and I have to consider that it's maybe because of the tastebreaker points only. Yeah, this doesn't really tell me much. :lol

No no. It doesn't mean anything in terms of points. It's just which song I liked more. Yes, I liked your song more which potentially and most possibly means you're getting more points than last round. And you're getting bonus points on top of that.

ROUND 2 RESULTS
Cyril: Julien Baker - Hurt Less
And you managed to send the song of the round even though I was partial about it at first. It’s short for sure but there’s a lot going on and there is a lot of stuff I fell in love with later. BTW how is this happy song? I’m afraid about other songs on album then tbh. One of the things I didn’t realize at first are lyrics. When I listened more closely it really hit me, such a beautiful message. As with Funeral in round 1, this one resonates with me as well, it’s about realization we’re not the only ones in our world, that our actions matters and we should think and care about each other. Really powerful stuff. One subtle thing I fell in love with is her pronunciation, she says some words in really special way that made me appreciate her even more. In the end, instrumentation falls in second place but it is also really nice in the second part of the song and male voice fits her really well and adds another dimension to the song making it more powerful.

Evermind: Karmakanic - Eternally
Did you ever get lower score because song was too much? It may have been case here, I’m not sure. Loved it from the first listen, it’s beautiful. Period. But part 1 is just too much. On every listen I couldn’t wait for it to be over, it’s really just piano, nice piano, but ruining the mood in moments. The second part doesn’t actually have anything bad to it. I liked it from the start, even expected it to grow on me even more but it didn’t. It’s up there but not above it. It is really special though, I never heard accordions in prog rock before. It sounds like rock version of Leonard Cohen (older stuff at least). Accordions are popular where I’m from so it sounds like something Bosnians would like (I played it for my mother and she agreed). Guitar solo and closing part are the best part of the song and probably the best few minutes I got in this roulette. Can’t wait to check this album out, it was on my wishlist even before and moved to the top now.

home: Frightened Rabbit - Keep Yourself Warm
Ah, the band I received in my second roulette. Actually, it won the round it was sent. I checked one of their albums and didn’t like any other song than the one I was sent so I decided to keep them off banned list. If I had to decide if I liked Death Dream or Keep Yourself Warm I couldn’t because these two are so different. The tone of this one is much more bright even though it’s actually melancholic song (duh!), probably due to all those instruments which make it on moments sounds even muddy and too full (something that’s usual in indie music). I like how it’s really bold in its statement: “It takes more than fucking someone, You don't know to keep warm”, and I agree with it. Finally, it’s really fine song but miss something else to really rise above other songs in this round.

FlyingBIZKIT: Thomas Giles - Milan (feat. Kristoffer Rygg)
Call me shallow but I started to like the song better automatically as I recognized Kristoffer is Ulver’s singer :lol really, it took me some time to realize that. They opened my eyes toward synthpop with their latest releases and I started to like their electronic albums as well. On the other hand, BTBAM was always somewhere there but I never really loved their music. And I never loved Thomas’ growls. On the other hand, his clean voice is really nice and it is even better here than I remember it from BTBAM. My thoughts on the actual song: it’s emotional, short, melodic piece with great vocals. What else is there to say? It is nothing really special but I’d like a full album of these two guys with this kind of music.

senecadawg2: Copeland - On Your Worst Day
Really, the first thing I noticed is effect on the vocals. I heard that before in Bon Iver’s music but I think it works better here, I find it fits well with strings. My favourite part of the song is that before chorus and the chorus (“I just want to make you smile…”), especially when that beat drops. Sadly, I don’t feel the lyrics or the song as a whole as much as you do even though I like it a lot. The ending reminds me of The Antlers, the band I actually found out through you (then you sent Palace in Ruslan’s roulette). I listened to it many times (as I did any other song) but I still keep finding things I like about it so maybe I’ll eventually like it even more. For now, it gets the score it gets, I hope you’re ok with that.

Kwyjibo: Tower of Power - Soul with a capital S
The only tastebreaker of the round came in cool style. I ever really listened to much soul or funk and on repeated listen I started to like it, it grow on me. However, the same things I didn’t like about it at first stayed until the end. It’s really not the smartest thing to sing about, it’s about why he likes soul and why it’s best genres of them all. Second thing I don’t like is that everything that’s to hear happens in the first part of the song, the rest is all same so even 5 minutes seems to long for this song. Other that that, I hear some really interesting playing there, it seems like it’s challenging for both playing and singing. Don’t need to even say it, it’s catchy and fun. All in all, fine song but I don’t think I’m hooked to the genre.
5 + 2.5 = 7.5 points
Sacul: Talk Talk - Living in Another World
I was ready to start with how I already got one of their songs in my v1… but I didn’t :lol it was Talking Heads, I always mistake those two bands. I tried some Talking Heads and didn’t like it a lot. This thing is a bit better though. I like new wave lately so you really hit me with it. I especially like when it’s this melancholic and rhythmic and the same time, there’s always something interesting going on. Love that double change of key in chorus, first one is maybe predictable, second one is just awesome. It took me some time for this song to start to grow on me and I’m still not sure how to rate it, especially as I like a few songs just a bit better so it looks as I like this one a bit less than I really do. Nevertheless, it’s much better than your round 1 submission and I expect you to send even better stuff. (actually, in the end I bumped it up in front of 2 songs but I'll leave this last part ;) )

wolfking: Nailed to Obscurity - Black Frost
Before even listening to it I checked their pages on few web sites and saw they are compared to early Katatonia. While I like that style, I never got into that particular era of Katatonia. And while listening it even more reminded me of early and latest Paradise lost, especially the vocals. When it comes to harsh vocals this style has become my favourite over the course of the last few years so I’m definitely looking forward to checking them out further. That ominous guitar is the style I like as well, vocals and guitars match really well, sound evil and like death. Unfortunately, I have a big objection: it’s that most of the song sounds generic to me, like a heard it before (in before mentioned bands’ music). Nevertheless, it offers something new in form of nice melodic guitar solo. As far as I’m concerned, doom metal bands sometimes lacks this kind of soloing.

Stadler: Duran Duran - Lonely in Your Nightmare
You correctly noticed synthpop is one of my new favourite genres. I even heard some of Duran Duran’s music as they are/were really popular. So it’s impossible for me not to compare them to bands like Depeche Mode and Tears for Fears. Unfortunately, both bands sound much more interesting to me and have more distinct sound and Duran is more poppy than I like and there’s no atmosphere other bands have. After I stopped comparing them I actually started to appreciate it more. What is it after all? Good pop music. Not really the best I heard but it is just fine and I believe I’ll discover their songs I like more.

Lethean: Sound of Contact - Pale Blue Dot
To be honest, I never heard of Sound of Contact but I feel like I should as we’re on prog forum and John Wesley and Simon Collins are members of the band. First thing I noticed is that they sound pretty similar to bands like Spock’s Beard and Enchant (but less metal), maybe even too much. At first I didn’t like it because it sounded too generic for my likings. After that I started to like the verses more and more and until now those stayed my favourite part of the song. But sadly, contrary to most songs, this one hit anti-climax on chorus, at least in my opinion. It feels really bland coming after those cool and catchy verses. Due to that song just left not so good taste in my mouth. Also, it feels kinda cold, I guess it’s because of production. It’s just ok but nothing more, as if it would be lost in the sea of the much better prog bands.

TAC: Mask of Prospero - This Road Leads to Desolation
Now there’s a song I had hard time getting into but at the end eventually quite liked. It actually has every element I should like: nice voice (really like his timbre), melancholic note, great guitar solo. But sadly, other than guitar solo nothing stand out to me that much and in the end it’s pretty forgettable. It’s one of those songs I lost memory of as soon as I finished listening to them, even the worse scored songs had something I could remember (if that’s a good thing lol).

Puppies_On_Acid: Lantlos - Pulse/Surreal
There was a time I was big into this kind of music. Don’t get me wrong, I still love it but it gets a bit samey at times. If I’m not mistaken it’s one of Neige’s bands so I must’ve heard it years ago. There’s a nice contrast I like and it works very well, with being ballad and then atmospheric black metal with grows while still staying kinda ballad-y and emotional. The problem I get with it is that it goes nowhere really and 8 minutes fell like even more. I feel like if I tried more I could like this more so I’ll check out the album but right now it’s just same thing I heard many times before with this kind of music.

Katellox: Sons of Seasons - Cassus Belli I: Guilt's Mirror
This song actually starts as if it’s folky atmospheric black metal. Sadly, it’s not that but prog/power metal. There’s not much I like about this song to be honest. I guess chorus is pretty catchy, I like the melody. However, I find singer’s voice really repulsive, it’s really the kind I can’t enjoy. Also, it’s type of riffing I don’t like that much, the side of bands like Symphony X I don’t like. After all, it’s not unlistenable but it’s not something I’d listen to on my own. Sorry.

I'll take it! I think you might enjoy the album quite a bit. A lot of people dont rate that as one of the better songs on the album.
Also, by the way, i dont know if parama mentioned it, but Julien Baker and Phoebe Bridgers collaborate on a project called boygenius

Should've just went with Part 2 then, but hell, I love that piano intro. Glad you liked it! I played it for Train in plug the other day and he also liked it. :P

Alright, I can live with that score, no risk no fun.
Like I said before I'm not really into soul and funk too, but Tower Of Power just rule with that horn section and Francis Rocco Prestia is the master of groovy bass playing.
And the singer singing about why he likes soul is the equivalent of metal bands singing about the power of metal. :D
Edit: sent some 90s stuff

Awesome! I hope it makes you check out the album. :angel: I also actually like how the singer explicitly uses "fucking", it makes it sound even less romantic (though I'm not sure yet if the album's title is a more positive word for the same thing)
I'll send shortly :azn:

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Liked the groovy part much more than the overly complex part. It sounds like three songs played at once…
I don’t think I’ll ever like these two styles combined together.
Love it when songs are this bittersweet – it seems like it is in one moment depressing and in other optimistic.
Singer sounds a bit burned out here, to be honest.
There are many hooks, I just hardly get caught to them.
Heavy and atmospheric at the same time, something I like in my music.
Feels really dreamy, both because singer’s timbre and keys. Love the atmosphere.
I didn’t know what to expect here but it greatly surprised me, my favourite indie/emo bands definitely like this band.
Beautiful and painful.
His vocals hardly fit the music but it kinda gives it special and interesting sound.
I absolutely love how with less distortion this could definitely be a non-metal song.
Catchy but a bit uninspired and samey. Still, I’m the sucker for this sound.
Satisfies my melody addiction, something I missed in this roulette so far.
inb4 any of these could be mine :P
-
Nah, I only see one that could be mine ;)
Beautiful and painful.

Really thinking my song is one of these two. I hope so, anyway, 'cause if this song bombs I literally have no idea what to send in future rounds. :lol

ROUND 3 RESULTS
Sacul: The Cardigans – Erase / Rewind
I think I heard some of their songs somewhere, probably here, and liked it but completely forgot about it. Let me say, this is the kind of stuff I want to get from you, really catchy and at the same time haunting, really quality pop music. I love, just love her voice. If it wasn’t for its smokiness it probably wouldn’t have had the same effect on me and I can’t imagine it without her voice. I like how haunting the chorus sounds, it’s been stuck in my head for days. Unfortunately, unlike most songs this one wasn’t really a grower for me. It’s like I heard everything there is to hear in first two listening and I was just relistening it later, it could get boring with repeated listens. But still a great song and the best in this round.
10.5 points
Cyril: Illyria – The Carpathian Summit
The longest song I got in this roulette so far and definitely worth it. I like it when black metal sounds so epic and mellow at parts, they definitely know how to make great music on both parts of the spectrum. On moments, during a heavy part, it even feels like it could be some other genre if it wasn’t for growls and heaviness, the melodies are quite prog sounding. I just absolutely love the melodies in this piece. The part I’m not too keen on is when the growls start (verses, I guess), it just loses the charm a bit but it gets it again with its melodic guitars later. It really reminds me of Agalloch and you know how much I like them. Sax part loses me a bit again, it doesn’t work that well here imo but it’s fine. After all, it’s a great song but a bit still overlong.
10 points
senecadawg2: Ben Howard – All Is Now Harmed
Ben Howard is one of those artists you can’t not hear of if you’re into indie folk. But somehow I never really checked him out. Actually, I think I did but only one song and didn’t like it so I didn’t try further. With this song I can see it is a grower, I like it more and more every time I listen to it and I think I will even more in future. Too bad there are two songs I like a bit better because this would get a point more otherwise. Production is kinda different than I’m used on but I like it. The thing that won me is definitely that chorus which sounds really beautiful. Can’t wait to check him out further.
9.5 points
TAC: Branch Arterial – My Curse
Right from the start this reminded me of Artificial Language, the band I heard in one of the roulette, but it’s less wacky and I like that. The weird thing about this are the vocals. I kinda like them but still can’t connect this music with his voice. I guess it would work a bit better with less heavy music. I don’t have much to say about it, it’s nothing too original but it keeps things interesting during all 5 minutes so I like it and enjoy it every time I hear it.
9 points
Lethean: Angra – Upper Levels
Somehow I managed to never hear a second of this band even though I’m familiar with the name. I have to admit I didn’t hear much interesting at first. The only thing I liked from the start were the vocals and vocal melodies which really reminded me of Symphony X, the band I like for the same qualities. The more and more I listened to it I started to appreciate other elements of the song and it turned out to be real grower. I’m not sure if it good or bad thing, at the middle it kinda turns into different song, even sounds more like older progressive rock which doesn’t go well with really metally riffing at the first part of the songs. All in all, it’s a good song but doesn’t sound too original and middle part sounds a bit disjointed. Will check out though.
8 points
Stadler: Jane’s Addiction – Three Days
I really didn’t know what to expect from this band, it sounds familiar but I didn’t even know which genre it is and I was quite surprised it’s alt rock from 80s/90s. The first thing I noticed is that it sounds quite similar to later indie/emo bands. But of course, it wasn’t Jane’s Addiction who copied the influence :P there’s not much I don’t like about this song other than it’s a bit too long and I’m not sure how I feel about vocals. Other than that I like the bass, tempo changes, guitar solo, vocal melodies, it’s really one of the best alternative rock songs I heard lately.
7.5 points
Evermind: Amadeus Awad – Lonesome Clown
Finally this band. I was interested in it since I first saw the album art in “What album are you listening to?” thread but it got lost in my to-check-out list, I guess. You probably know Anneke is my favourite female singer, even though she is everywhere I have a feeling I will never get tired of her. I was always fan of her more folk-style singing and it is (fortunately for me) in this style here. I’m not too keen on instrumental part, it’s just not too original, I’m afraid. I’m also not into keyboard-driven music that much. Anneke and Marco Minnemann both shine on this song and I’m afraid if it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t like this so much so I’m not sure I’ll like the album…
7 points
Puppies_On_Acid: Liturgy – Harmonia
Finally my type of black metal from you. Yes, it’s harsh and heavy but it also sound beautiful. The thing I like in some black metal and it applies here is that they are not afraid to use more conventional riffs and melodies. Some riffs sound pretty much like something from classic heavy metal song. Production is quite muddy and I can understand if that’s intentional but I’m not into that, sadly. Growls sound really painful even if I don’t understand one word of it but I still like them. I guess you would get better score If this round wasn’t this good. Will check this band out.
6.5 points
wolfking: Persefone – Spiritual Migration
It seems everyone here is baffled I’m not into this band already. I got them in my second roulette and I didn’t hate it but I neither liked it that much. All elements I like are there but it still lacks something to make me love it, I guess I just don’t feel it. Sadly, it crosses that boundary of wackiness and chaos I like but clean vocals make up for some of it. My favourite part of the song is atmospheric part in the middle until the end but I don’t think they sound like that most of the time.
6 points
home: Frank Ocean – Nights
It was bold move sending me R&B/hip-hop considering I’m not into it but you get some bonus points so it turned out ok. Actually, it turned out more than that. At first, I just couldn’t get into it, didn’t really hear the appeal. I started liking it more and more later, especially the first part. Second part isn’t really my cup of tea so you’re getting slightly lower score than you would if it sticked to the style of the first part. Still, I’m pretty interested in his music, given how well this album is rated on rym and it has grown on me quite a bit in the end.
4 + 1.5 = 5.5 points
Kwyjibo: Soundgarden – The Day I Tried to Live
As you know, I love Chris Cornell. The reason I never checked out Soundgarden is that I started to listen to Audioslave fairly recently and never came to listen to this band. The only song I know is Black Hole Sun which I like. Here, in my opinion, Chris sounds I bit burned out during chorus and it is definitely too high for him, it’s straining his voice and that takes some enjoyment from the song. Other than that, it’s fine hard rock song but not really something I listen to all the time.
5 points
Kattelox: Magic Dance – In Their Eyes
So yeah, this sounds like something I would like. But… it also sounds a bit generic, both music and vocals, something you could hear during credits of not so good movie. Still as I said, I like this kind of music but it’s far from perfect synthpop and there’s nothing that stands out. Even though it’s catchy, in the end it just falls flat and it’s there, not great, not terrible.
4.5 points
FlyingBIZKIT: Nine Inch Nails – Ringfinger
The band I expected to receive for a long time, given how often I see it in other roulettes. I never checked them out because I don’t like this style that much and sadly it turned out it did not grow on me with this song. I just think this combination doesn’t work well for me. I can’t really describe it, it just get boring for me after same time, I don’t like repetitive music.

Im really happy with that. The other Ben Howard song you heard mayve come from his first album(?), which is more acoustic. Theyre both fantastic for my ears, but I think this one may have more immediate appeal to new listeners.
Anyway, ill have to think this next submission over for a few hours. Something sad and suggestive of moving on.

Right from the start this reminded me of Artificial Language, the band I heard in one of the roulette, but it’s less wacky and I like that. The weird thing about this are the vocals. I kinda like them but still can’t connect this music with his voice. I guess it would work a bit better with less heavy music. I don’t have much to say about it, it’s nothing too original but it keeps things interesting during all 5 minutes so I like it and enjoy it every time I hear it.
9 points
Nice, 4th place for the round.
Glad you liked it. I thought you might. The lyrics are a bit twisted for such an upbeat song. The rest of the album is worth a listen, but this is easily the best track.

Yeah mate. All good, don't stress.
-
Still missing a few songs, keep sending!
-
who besides dacul?
-
Will identify them if they don't send in around 12 hours :)
-
Sent, but may have to re-send.
-
Still waiting for Sacul and Stadler
-
c'mon stadcul
-
Unfortunately, I have to start listening without Stadler's submission because I don't want this round to last too long as well. Picking up pace from now on.
-
I wanted to wait for Stadler but it seems like he won't send this round. I just hope everything is ok.
For the rest of you, first impressions:
A bit weird but riffs are pretty cool.
This one got me scared.
Too bad the rest of the song doesn’t keep the epicness of intro.
Feels sedated and bland at first.
The weirdest thing I received so far but also pretty interesting, has a growing potential.
Over the top, I don’t think I’ll ever get into it…
Gets better when it picks up pace.
I think I will need special state of mind to enjoy this but I can see myself getting lost in it.
Other than the solo it’s pretty generic song.
I like how it sounds both traditional and modern at the same time.
Totally boring and forgettable.
Pretty soothing song but other than that not too interesting.

Mine's probably one of these, the possibilities for scoring low again are there. :metal :biggrin:
-
The forecast looks grim. I have no read on which mine could be. Have mercy. :corn
-
I'm scared.
-
Yeah, this is the worst round so far. Only two songs I'd say I really love, some are ok and some meh. But I'll take few more days.
-
I bet I'll get a score

I sent him the album in his last roulette and surprisingly he really liked it. If he does like it more than me that's freaking awesome because I do really like it. I haven't updated my RYM in quite some time though. I have it at 3.5 which is 'pretty good' to me but I might need to put it at 4...

Hey, I was traveling and didn't have access like I thought I would (plus, New Orleans, and there were Hurricanes and Hand Grenades involved). I leave my fate to the host and the group as to whether my submission is accepted or not.
-
... Hurricanes and Hand Grenades ...
That would make a cool song title. ;D Edit: just saw that there is a song called Hurricanes and Hand Grenades, were you refering to that or was it coincidence?
I'm not the host and I'm not speaking for the group, but if I was I would say: send asap.

He did and I accepted it. As I said, I most often need a lot of time to get into the song and I don't want to have another 2 week long round so I'll just deliver results when I'm ready considering other songs.

ROUND 4 RESULTS
Evermind: Loch Vostok – Expiry Date of the Soul of Man
I’m surprised I never hear of this band because it’s definitely my style. You compared them to Wolverine and Katatonia. To be honest, I don’t hear a lot of Katatonia but it definitely sounds similar to Katatonia and there’s some of Dark Tranquillity. DT is most of the time faster and has growls in many if not all songs but there’s this gothic feeling, chugging of low tuned guitars and, of course, melancholy. Singer’s voice reminds me of Chris Cornell a lot, that’s probably the reason I like it even more. Even though it’s not the most original song I don’t have anything bad to say about it and it’s my favourite of the round.
9.5 points
Cyril: My Chemical Romance – Welcome to the Black Parade
As I said, both my brother and sister knew this song by heart and were surprised I never heard it. Firstly, that intro is super epic. It’s one the best things I heard in this roulette so far. Secondly, the rest of the song isn’t really in my taste, I was never into pop-punk other than some Green Day and that was years ago. Nevertheless, I got into it, especially the ending which reminiscent of the intro in epicness department. And of course I got chorus stuck in my head for days :D So you still didn’t fail in this roulette.

senecadawg2: Glen Hansard – Bird of Sorrow
Yeah, this song is pretty simple. As you said, just a man and his piano. I was afraid it will be just a boring song with sad lyrics but it’s much more than that. At first, it was kinda boring because the beginning of the song is instrumentally and vocally simple. But after that comes the guitar and strings and vocals get more interesting. The thing that actually won me are, as is case with music I love, the vocal melodies which are catchy and anthemic but full of pain and regret. It still isn’t one of the best songs I heard in this roulette but it is one of the best of the round 4.

FlyingBIZKIT: OSI – Radiologue
Given how much I like Fates Warning and Kevin Moore you won’t be surprised when I tell you I tried to get into OSI a few years ago. But as you can assume I couldn’t get into it. I guess it was the combination of metal with electronic music I had problem with. Still, it’s not something I enjoy that much and I couldn’t get into NIN last round either. But with time, I kinda got into this song and I could definitely get into this band if I tried more. Moore’s vocals would probably put some people off but I find his voice so soothing I love listening to him. Other thing I like about this song are actually drums (if that’s not electronic beat but I definitely hear some tasty double drums). So as I said, I got into it but it still didn’t fully won me over.

Katellox: Kardashev – Between Sea and Sky
I’m glad I did not check anything about this band before listening, otherwise I would get scared as fuck when those growls kicked in :lol I have to say you finally (kinda) got my tastes. I just love it when the song is at the same time super heavy but also really emotional. Atmosphere in this one is on point as well and there are few headbangable moments. My only objection is that it’s not that original. But it’s enjoyable and in my style alright. Your best song along with Broken Bells one, it’s close.

Puppies_On_Acid: Monica Heldal – Boy from the North
I heard a lot of indie folk artists but most of them still sound more like pop or rock and this really reminds me of traditional folk, even has country twang, especially in vocals. Everything about this song is alright. Too bad it’s never more than that. Her vocals are just fine, it’s atmospheric and that’s something I like in my music. Have nothing more to say about it honestly.
6 points
Kwyjibo: Ultravox – Vienna
This one certainly sounds familiar but I’m not sure if I ever heard it. Never heard of the band tho. Right away it reminded me of Depeche Mode but vocals fits better with music. It’s my favourite of older syntpop songs I got in this roulette. But that doesn’t say much :P The catchiness is definitely the element that rises it above them and it is definitely not forgettable song. Vocals seems really fresh for the time and the genre yet I can’t say I find the song that good. I mean, it is good but it’s not like I couldn’t start listening to it. So it’s in the middle of the park, nothing more.

Stadler: The Claypool Lennon Delirium - Amethyst Realm
You were a bit late with this one which meant I didn’t give it that much listens as I did with other songs. However, I’m glad you did send and you got quite a good score given the before mentioned thing. In PM, you wrote this music is not for everyone but we’re on DTF and this seems like a pretty good progressive rock piece, I can’t see why you wouldn’t send it before :D I heard of Les Claypool before but his playing always seemed a bit over the top for me. Here, however, he goes along with the groove and sound great. The song as a whole is at the same time chill but kinda scary. I like it, will check the album.
5 points
Lethean: Cynthesis – Incision
The song I got hard time getting into which is weird because it’s not too weird or anything. I guess it’s because of more of a recited than singed vocals in some parts of the song. Once that’s out of the way I like the song a bit more. Vocals sounds really powerful and bass lines as cool albeit a bit over the top for my taste. In the end, it’s one of those forgettable songs I enjoy quite a bit while I’m listening to them but can’t recall one thing about when I’m not.

wolfking: Pendragon - Skara Brae
This song is full of nice guitar riffs and licks so it quite got under my skin and in my head. Sadly, I don’t like vocals at all, it just sounds not special in any way. And vocals are really important to me. Vocal melodies got a bit more in my taste near the middle of the song and I like reprises of the main riff. But the worst thing about the song and the one that ruins it for me is guitar solo. Those natural harmonics are just wtf, unnecessary thing. All in all, it’s fine song but nothing more than that.

home: M83 – Wait
I heard some M83 with Susanne Sundfor and maybe sometimes else but I expected it to be more electronic, less rockish and definitely less dreamy. My sister recognized this song from Fault in our stars movie when I played it but I did not even though I saw it (not really a fan tbh). The song itself is really sad but unfortunately a bit samey and (sorry) boring. I feel like typing same thing over and over but it is just a fine song but not anything special.

TAC: Dreamgrave – Black Spiral
Oh god, this song! It’s everything I find wrong about this type of music in one song. It’s balls to the wall for the whole duration, just let me breathe :D I guess I would be fine with it but I find both growls and female operatic vocals to be subpar. When they stop singing it’s alright but only the guitar solo is really great part of the song for me. That part on its own got you bumped few points up. Yeah, don’t send me something similar again :lol

Sacul: Fishmans – Weather Report
I don’t know if I’d find this so weird if it wasn’t for Japanese. And I don’t like weird music. At all. I even can’t say why in particular I don’t like this. It’s just that every listen of this was feeling more like a chore and less like something I enjoy to do. I have to say it’s pretty dreamy and sounds is really full and nice but I didn’t like music that much and vocals at all, sadly.

Struggling to stay in the middle of the pack, damn. Glad you enjoyed that Kardashev song (it's the only song I know by them) - and for the same reasons I do, too. Unfortunately I don't really have anything else like that, so... gulp!
EDIT: Sent a tastebreaker. Have mercy.
-
Really low top score for a round, lol
Also thanks for saving me on the M83 score haha wow oof

Nice. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
It's only a matter of time before Cyril slips up, and when he does, I'll be waiting there.

Sent something uplifting, finally.

ROUND 4 RESULTS
Evermind: Loch Vostok – Expiry Date of the Soul of Man
I’m surprised I never hear of this band because it’s definitely my style. You compared them to Wolverine and Katatonia. To be honest, I don’t hear a lot of Katatonia but it definitely sounds similar to Katatonia and there’s some of Dark Tranquillity. DT is most of the time faster and has growls in many if not all songs but there’s this gothic feeling, chugging of low tuned guitars and, of course, melancholy. Singer’s voice reminds me of Chris Cornell a lot, that’s probably the reason I like it even more. Even though it’s not the most original song I don’t have anything bad to say about it and it’s my favourite of the round.

All I can say is, we have a lot of overlap in bands we like, but I still have no clue what it is about music that you like..... :lol This was the case in your last roulette. Oh well.
-
I'm lost with this roulette. Will send something completetly random yet again tonight.
-
hey seneca no worries i sent something tomi will hate this round so you're guaranteed to pass me now
-
Where are your feelings my boi
-
For each round you say that my song is better than the last one, but I still don't get more than a handful of points. You should've listened to Stadler:
I just realized Ultravox Vienna is in this roulette. F***. That song is a 12, maybe a 13.
;D ;D ;D
Edit: send some "Gothic rock, alternative rock, post-punk, dark alternative" according to wikipedia for five points. :metal

Bill, Midge Ure bailed out Thin Lizzy in the middle of their 1979 US tour when Gary Moore quit in the middle of it.
-
Considering what Midge Ure did musically with Ultravox and solo, that Thin Lizzy job always seemed like an odd pairing for me.
-
Okay, you'll get my song in the next hour.

Anything released from that? I'd listen to that in a heartbeat. (I still have to listen to the playlist you gave me; I got to get on that.)
-
Nothing released. I'd have to check if I have a boot from that tour. Pretty sure Mark Nauseef was playing drums for this tour as well.
He ended up playing keys after a bit, as they got some other dude to play guitar.
Ultimately Snowy White (last seen playing in Roger Waters' band) joined for the Chinatown and Renegade albums.

ROUND 5 RESULTS
Evermind: IQ – The Road of Bones
I heard a lot about this band here, don’t know how it didn’t get sent yet or how I never decided to check them out myself. As you said, this hardly feels like 9 minutes, it’s really enjoyable throughout and buildup isn’t forced, comes naturally. There are some catchy bits I just loooove, especially on those keys melodies and of course vocal melodies are great. Singer’s voice is kinda creepy, even more when I know what the theme of the song is :P Tbh I didn’t expect it to get this heavy near the end, always though this is more just prog rock but it sounds metal :metal Your best song so far and one of the best song of the roulette.
11 points
Kwyjimbo: All About Eve – Road to Your Soul
You finally did it! Your best song so far, easily. Reminds me of Sacul’s submission few rounds back (The Cardigans) even though this is a bit older, darker and maybe even more dreamy. I was lost in it from the first time I heard it, it’s catchy, emotional, dreamy and I like her voice. The break in the middle of the songs wasn’t necessary imo and that’s my only bigger complaint. Can’t wait to hear more of their song, hope it’s in same style.
10.5 points
Puppies_On_Acid: Teramaze – Anhedonia
Usually, I don’t like it when progressive metal doesn’t breathe but it works here. I guess because the riffing is great and vocals are a bit better for this style than it is usually case with progressive metal. His voice is pretty high but still maintains a healthy dose of edge. If you’d like, check the Croatian band Chaos Addict, it’s more thrashy but kinda reminds me of this and their (ex-) singer is the best Croatian singer (Russell Allen meets David Coverdale). I like how catchy this is as well, will definitely check them out further even though I’m not into this style lately.
9 points
senecadawg2: Kevin Gilbert – Song for a Dead Friend
Is this song sent in every roulette? Because I definitely saw it multiple times, not sure if I ever listened to it before. Firstly, this is really an emotional song. Is there anything more emotional than a song about the death of a friend. Some lines really hit it hard. However, I had hard time getting into it, like there was something missing for me. In the end, I really enjoyed the song but not as much as I’d like or you’d expect me to. It’s unexplainable, I still miss something. You’re still getting a nice score but I think you expected better, sorry.
8 points
TAC: Moonrise – Flying in Empty Lands
This definitely hits that sweet spot for me in terms of the style. It actually sounds like something I heard before , not just the style but actual melodies, can’t really say what it sounds like. Other than that, it’s really enjoyable song, even though not the most original. I especially like this kind of vocal melodies, almost musical-like. Instrumental break isn’t my favourite because I don’t like keyboard solos so I feel like rewinding most of the time lol. But yeah, pretty nice song.
7.5 points
Kattelox: Chris Joss – Tune Down
This jazzy piece took some listening to get into for me. After all, it’s actually less jazz and more funk. The thing about funk is that while I appreciate its musicianship and technicality I most often find it a bit cheesy if instrumentals can be cheesy. Bass in this one is super cool, loud and not at all over the top. Some subtle brass is great addition and guitar nice as always in funk. Why I don’t enjoy it even more? Because this always seems like a background music for me and nothing more. Would like to try an album in this style though.
6 + 1 points = 7 points
Stadler: Keane – Bedshaped
Definitely reminds me of band Travis. Big time. Travis seems a bit more poppy (maybe too poppy in a bad way) and also, I like this singer’s voice better. Is this the most original thing ever? No. But it’s emotional and nice enough piece with great chorus and great singing. Have nothing else to say tbh.
6.5 points
wolfking: Soilwork – As We Speak
Ah, Soilwork. The band that was always kinda out there as it was pretty popular around some of my friends but I don’t think I ever heard one note of it. However, I heard singer in some other stuff (sent you Chaos Addict in your roulette). Don’t like his growls that much. Melodic singing in chorus is much better, more in style I usually like. Chugging guitars isn’t my thing as well but anything that isn’t that is better :lol nice solo and nice song, but nothing more than that, sadly.
5.5 points
Lethean: Voyager – As the City Takes the Light
I got Misery is the Only Company in my v2 and didn’t like it that much. This one is a bit more in my style. However, I can’t get into singer’s voice, there’s just something off putting about it. I guess it’s his timbre, doesn’t work for me. Also, I most often have hard time getting into this style of progressive metal but I actually enjoy some of it so I think I’ll check these guys further, can’t promise I’ll like it.
5 points
Cyril: Amy Shark – Drive You Mad
Let’s start with negative: it’s easily the least enjoyable song you sent so far. I don’t like the instrumental. Her voice is fine, just fine, a bit on a dark side, I like that. Chorus is really catchy, other parts not so much. This one is either forgettable or I need more listens to get into it. But when it comes to pop I most usually get into it right away.
4.5 points
Sacul: Darkside – Heart
This one’s much better than some of your previous submissions but still somewhere in the middle of the park. It’s that type of song where I can’t really find a thing I hate/don’t like about but still feel like it’s forgettable. And if few days of listening isn’t enough I don’t know what is. However, as I said, it’s not bad at all. I like grooviness during some parts more than atmosphere, too bad this is mostly built on atmosphere. In the end, a bit bland, but not that bad.

home: Bonobo – Break Apart
Another indeterminate song from you :lol It’s kinda nice but also a bit boring to me. I’m not that into chillout music and trip-hop tends to be hit and miss, I tried many bands and even the most popular ones get boring fast. This is just a bit better than stuff that plays on the radio tbh, sorry. Not the thing I’d listen to on my own.

FlyingBIZKIT: XTC – Making plans for Nigel
Oh, god… how to say it… I kinda hate this song. It’s that song that gets in your ear even though you hate it Yes, it’s catchy and I like catchy but I find most things here off putting. Backing vocals are just horrible in my opinion, don’t like the melodies and repetitiveness. The tone is just too happy in a wrong way for me. Sorry, it’s the least good song I got in this roulette.

Okay pop at best.
I don't think any of your previous submissions were safe :corn

Wow. That extra point actually kept me up a couple spots. Whew... sad you didn't like it more, but that whole album is tasty as hell. I chose that song because it was in an episode of Better Call Saul and it spellbound me. I would definitely suggest the rest of the album, which has more upbeat songs and a lot of compelling musicianship.
-
Yeah, thank you for sending something different. I'll definitely try to get into some new genres when tge roulette is over and this, out of all tastebreakers so far, seems most like something I'll get into.

Kwyjimbo: All About Eve – Road to Your Soul
Can’t wait to hear more of their song, hope it’s in same style.
That record (Scarlet And Other Stories) and the debut are in a similar vein with some (imo) great songs. Haven't heard their other records, not that there are many.
Edit: sent some 80s guitar studio cat.

Not sure I can top this one, glad you liked it. I'll send something later today.

Katt, I know you and I are simpatico on this, but the later model Plant solo albums - from, say, Dreamland till now - are a treasure. I love the way his voice, aged like Scotch in an oak barrel, sits over the more acoustic-oriented bands he's been using. I like it as much as anything he's done that doesn't have a backwards message on it, or an inscription to Aleister Crowley on the runout groove (i.e. Zeppelin).

I mostly prefer the 2010 Band of Joy record and especially Raising Sand which is just sublime. I did buy Fate of Nations recently because we were talking Plant briefly, but haven't put it on yet.

... but the later model Plant solo albums - from, say, Dreamland till now - are a treasure.
His earlier records didn't really vow me, mostly bland and boring, and with Page's very weak solo effort I thought they truly and completely lost it . But Plant's later records are very good and somewhat remedy that. Now if only Page had some later records. :D
-
I once brought in Plant's Band of Joy 2010 record for a coworker to listen to because he was a big Plant fan (or so he said; probably just a fan of Zeppelin-era Plant). I warned him, I said, "This is way different, this is not Zeppelin, it's much calmer but is still catchy." Came back from class that afternoon with the CD on my desk and a post-it note on it that said, "This fucking SUCKS." Never bothered introducing my local friends or coworkers to music I like after that.

I think it's so weird that you like fun. Like, it's the only outcast I've seen of your vast musical collection, it doesn't fit anywhere, I can't even link it to anything else I've read in the roulettes. :lol

I think it was mostly metal. Except for Brand New. I was just curious because I'm not familiar with them but they seem to be a staple of your roulette sending.

or how seneca got to the finals in my last roulette sending mostly singer/songwriter stuff
my tastes are not as narrow as you seem to think :P

Jeeze, I never said they were narrow, and once again, I was only talking about things *you* have sent in *other* people's roulettes, I wouldn't know what goes on in your roulettes if I'm not there! And I only pay attention to the artists I recognize that are sent; I think I've only recognized maybe a small handful of things you've sent in the roulettes we're both in. But I never said you had narrow tastes. I was just playing around :P
-
alright :metal
anyways i'm gonna send east of the wall in your next roulette

Well now you're banned from my next roulette. :lol
My next one's gonna be super simple though, and fast, like FlyingBIZKIT fast. Don't even need new music, but I want to do another just because it's fun competition.

lol that's basically what i'mma do with my next one too. just gonna be 10 players 10 rounds straight up blitzing the roulette as best as i can

ROUND 6 RESULTS
Cyril: fun. – Be Calm
You sent me the song by this band in one of my previous roulette but that song didn’t make lasting impression on me so I never checked out the album. I like this one much better though. The selling point for me were vocal melodies, of course. We both like it when it’s this catchy and still not too simplistic so keep it coming :P There are few places where instrumental become too much but it’s fine while vocals are this good. BTW my favourite part of the song is around 3:00 when singer goes high.
11 points
Sacul: Failure – The Nurse Who Loved Me
Yes, this one seemed really familiar and it took me some time to realize APC covered it. It’s been a while since I listened to that album and never got into it so I let it slide. Second thing I realized was that it sounds like something Nirvana would do. It’s my girlfriend’s favourite band (sadly) and she confirmed it as well. I don’t like Nirvana. But this is one step better than anything they did. Melodies are similar but I find this more emotional and more sincere. So yeah, I don’t like Nirvana :lol Really close to being my favourite of your submissions, maybe even the favourite.
10.5 points
Stadler: Fish – View from the Hill
I wouldn’t say I’m fan of Marillion but I know (and like) Misplaced Childhood and Clutching at Straws. This one sounds like something from either of those albums. I like how melodic this music is and at first sounds like the easy listen but it’s really layered and there’s a lot going on. Also, I like Fish’ vocals. One of your best submissions so far. Which album of his would you recommend?
9 points
Lethean: Angel Dust – Bleed
Firstly, I’m sorry about that comparison, I wrongly put this one after Cynthesis instead before it. Similarly to some other songs, this one is a bit forgetful to me, for some reason I had hard time getting into it. But once the chorus hit me it really hit me :D When it comes to power metal this is the type I enjoy a lot, it’s not too cheesy and melodies are pretty dark and emotional. BTW great vocals, I like his screaming.
8.5 points
Kattelox: Robert Plant – Harm’s Swift Way
Few years ago I downloaded Led Zeppelin’s latest live video (Celebration Day) and while listening to classics I though how good Robert Plant sounded for his age. Also, he made some of the songs even better. For example, I like Stairway to Heaven in this rendition more because he overcame some of his flaws caused by age and overturned them in his in his behalf. His voice matured really well and it alone is selling point for me. The song itself is just nice, nothing special and a bit repetitive but I enjoyed it a lot.
8 points
wolfking: Almah – Beyond Tomorrow
I’m so happy choir is not present more than it is because I’m sick of it in this type of music tbh. This song reminds me of Avantasia a bit but I guess it’s heavier and it has better singer. The song itself isn’t anything specials but it rocks hard and it’s enjoyable for the most part. I didn’t had hard time getting into it as I did with all of your other submissions.
7 points
TAC: Dreamwalkers Inc – Endless
This is one of those songs I enjoy while listening to them but forget about right after. Like I couldn’t remember a lot about it. The thing I know though is the drumming is great and I always find myself air drumming to it. And most of often instrumental parts are better, parts with vocals are kinda formulaic but not bad. Will still probably check them out.
6.5 points
senecadawg2: Bill Callahan – One Fine Morning
You might have been surprised when you saw this is your least liked song but it’s actually there with “On your worst day” which I still liked, you’re just that damn consistent. This song really reminds me of Leonard Cohen and Micah P. Hinson, the good news is that I like their music, the bad is that it took me a while to start liking it. Could imagine myself liking this, too, but right now I’m not really that into it. Don’t get me wrong, still a nice song.
6 points
Kwyjimbo: Raging Honkies – Don’t make me hate
I took me some time to start to appreciate this one. It’s has a nice groove, great bass lines and riffs, vocals are a bit of an acquired taste but I like that type of vocals. It’s nice but not something I’d usually listen to and it’s a bit boring after a while.
5 points
FlyingBIZKIT: The Aristocrats – Spanish Eddie
I heard of them before but never checked out because I though it sounds wanky. And it’s a bit less wanky than I thought it would be and more jazzy. But I’m not really into this kind of music and don’t like instrumentals. It has some nice parts though, my favourite being the most metal part (near the end). Don’t think I’ll check them out further.

home: Mount Kimbie – Blue Train Lines
I would describe this music as harsh and so will be this write-up. I can hardly stand his voice and instrumental isn’t than interesting either. The thing I like is that they combine rapping with a bit of singing and it sounds pretty emotional. Sadly, that’s all I like about it. Can’t say I’d willingly listen to and full album of this, sorry :’(
2.5 points + 1.5 = 4 points
Evermind: Big Big Train – The Ivy Gate
Received them before and loved that song, checked out the album and didn’t like it. So I allowed this with wish to finally get into them. But I didn’t like this one, sadly. To be honest, it sounds like some folk metal band doing folk only album or something, like they aren’t on their territory and it shows. A bit boring and overlong. I don’t hate it, it’s just that I know you can do better than this. Instrumental break is nice.
3.5 points
Puppies_On_Acid: Mithras – On Strange Loops
When you said this is different technical death metal I expected it to be different. Can’t hear what’s so different though. There are still some tech death bands I listen to from time to time but I mostly don’t like this style anymore. My pet peeve about it is that it’s always heavy and it too much for me. I don’t think it’s not enjoyable though. I like the guitar solo and few calmer parts. Probably won’t check them out, I couldn’t listen to an hour of this :/

yeehaw :metal
i'll try to send something to blow my lead next round too
-
8 points, not bad. Glad I sent a good one. Will send by this evening, perhaps this afternoon.
-
That's not nearly as bad as I was expecting, though the Cyril lead is a bit daunting. Hopefully two rounds will be enough to bridge the gap.
-
Just sent mine off, actually, because I'm gonna wing it. I sent something I think a lot of people here have heard, whether they're aware of it or not. It's in a popular film from 1999.
-
sent. i kind of lined up songs for the last two rounds and i'm just gonna avoid overthinking anything and go with those two, tbh
-
Lethean: Angel Dust – Bleed
Firstly, I’m sorry about that comparison, I wrongly put this one after Cynthesis instead before it. Similarly to some other songs, this one is a bit forgetful to me, for some reason I had hard time getting into it. But once the chorus hit me it really hit me :D When it comes to power metal this is the type I enjoy a lot, it’s not too cheesy and melodies are pretty dark and emotional. BTW great vocals, I like his screaming.
Well that was a pleasant surprise! No problems with the comparison - it's much better to be "wrong" that way than to post it as a higher one and then find out it was worse. :) Glad you enjoyed it. :) Hopefully I'll be able to come up with another one you like, at least a little.
-
Okay back to 5 points again. ;)
Sent something completely different.
-
I'm going backwards!
-
Hell yeah, I think you'll dig that album a lot and it's definitely better than anything by Nirvana ;D
-
Lol. My best song and still only 7 points.

Lol. My best song and still only 7 points.
Yeah, man, but you're getting better :tup

i still don't know why you'd send mithras to tomi :P
-
After being rejected, I have sent something that is almost 30 years old.
-
i still don't know why you'd send mithras to tomi :P
Because apparently I don't understand anyone's taste in music
So I'm going to hit shuffle on my music library and the first song that comes up is what Tomi is getting for the next round. :corn
.....and of course the first one that pops up is banned.....
-
if i did that, i would've ended up sending this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY_JnzSQXAQ)
...which would actually be a pretty good pick for this roulette, i think
but anyways tomi has it in his music tastes section that he doesn't really like much extreme metal outside of black metal (and i know he's picky about that too) so i've mostly just avoided metal outright because, ehh, heck it
-
Avoiding metal has worked well for me

Well, my next song is definitely not metal. :omg:

Well, my next song is definitely not metal. :omg:

Yeah I don't think I can catch up with Cyril in two rounds with only 3.5 (wtf?) for this song. :lol
Time to send random crap!

Yeah, it's not actually that bad but most songs were at least good and your was among my least favorite.

Starting a bit late with round 7, I needed some time off forum (and music, surprisingly) but it'll probably go fast from here because I'm starting work tomorrow again and will mostly be by myself in the evening this week

Yeah I think I'm alright for this round because Loch Vostok got a 9 and this song is better, but I think it's pretty much impossible for me to catch up with that seven points gap. Not mathematically impossible, maybe you'll screw up big time that last round, but I'm pretty sure the winner here is decided already.
I'm still baffled by 3.5 for The Ivy Gate tbh :lol I'll probably send some random metal song next.

ROUND 7 RESULTS
Evermind: Galahad - Empires Never Last
You (almost) again overdid yourself! Just when I think you can’t send more epic song :D it’s just there on the line of epic and cheesy but fortunately, it never crosses it. I like how singer’s voice goes from whispery to melodic to gritty. There’s really everything in it, even great riffing, solos and great guitarwork in general.
11 points
Cyril: Arcane Roots - Half the World
Got this band already but somehow never checked them out even though I liked that song (Curtains). This one’s even better and I’m sure I’ll start listening to them now. This song is pretty heavy but at the same time very emotional. The only thing I don’t like about it is that’s it’s a bit overlong for what it is but ok, still pretty great.
10 points
Kwyjibo: Insomnium - Shadows Of The Dying Sun
The biggest grower of the round. Didn’t see the appeal at first until I started listening with better headphones. Sonically, this is great stuff. Whispered vocals are a bit of an acquired taste and I’m not crazy about those but growls are simply magnificent and melodies are catchy. Reminds me of band Hypocrisy. It’s been a while since I listened to this kind of melodeath, I guess it’s time to start again.
9.5 points
Puppies_On_Acid: VNV Nation – Perpetual
Didn’t expect this from you, to be honest :lol It’s a bit over the top electronic but that’s the way I like it. Reminds me of Editors (check them out), even the singers have similar voices. It just has great melodies, both vocal and instrumental and that’s how I like my music to be. Even though it’s electronic it’s still really heavy and rocking. I guess this might be my favourite of yours (it’s there with Teramaze).
9 points
wolfking: Frost* - Black Light Machine
I guess I expected more from this, to be honest. Don’t know what I expected but something different, I guess. It’s still a nice song, especially soloing part. Unfortunately, I find vocal melodies to be a bit tedious and not that interesting and that’s something I pay great attention to. But yeah, guitar solo is really great and lifts song few levels up. Said that, I still pretty much love the song (see the score, it’s not that bad) but I just expected it to knock me off my feet.
8 points
home: Flume – Jewel
Well, this is… different :lol But this time in a good way. It’s pretty weird but never goes too much over the top or super weird. Feels really dreamy and the sound is huge. However, I just don’t enjoy it as much as some other, more traditional stuff and your score reflects that. Still pretty good.
6 points + 1.5 = 7.5 points
Stadler: Angels And Airwaves - Secret Crowds
This is really not something I’d listen to myself these days, maybe when I was younger when I liked Green Day. Never the less, this is still a great tune. Melodies are catchy and singable, lyrics are good as well and it has a some great energy. As I said, I can’t see myself listening to it too often but I’m still glad I got some different rock music.
7 points
Lethean: DGM - Ghosts of Insanity
Another great song, maybe just a bit generic. But given I liked the latest Evergrey and this sounds similar and features Tom, I’m happy :) The other singer is good as well, their voices are different but complement each other. As I said, I find it a bit generic but this actually seems like something I’d listen to so thank you.
6.5 points
Kattelox: Burt Bacharach & Elvis Costello - I'll Never Fall In Love Again
Yeah, very romantic song, feels kinda nostalgic and it reminds me of 80s more than late 90s. I’m not that crazy about his voice to be honest, it’s too breathy for my taste. The thing that won me over and made it more than ok was actually that trumpet, love the melody even though it’s repetitive. Ear worm but in a good way.
6 points
FlyingBIZKIT: Gavin Castleton - Underestimate Me
Sounded boring at first but it has grown on me quite a bit. His voice is really nice, I like the timbre, and vocal melodies are singable, at moments almost jazzy. Reminds me of Jeff Buckley a lot. Still, at the end too samey to get better score but it’s a nice song.

So you tried to cheat and send Phoebe again :P This one didn’t hit me nearly as much as Funeral. Although, it’s more than a fine song, their voices work well together and there are some nice melodies.
5 points
Sacul: Nine Horses - Darkest Birds
Another nice song but it kinda got lost among other stuff this round, it was pretty strong. I guess I’d rate it better if other songs weren’t this good. The thing I like the most about it are vocal melodies and atmosphere, especially during the trumpet part, it sounds like something from David Lynch movie.

TAC: Fields Of The Nephilim - And There Will Your Heart Be Also
This one’s dark. Even though I like dark music I couldn’t fully get into it, like it lacked some element for me to fully click. I can’t really say a lot about it :lol it’s a nice song but nothing more than it for me, sorry

Nice. About what I expected tbh. I have 2 hours to send something so you'll get my next one very soon.
-
:lol
It was either first or last with that.
OK, one more round, right?
-
Never heard any Galahad, but I highly approve of 2nd and 3rd place, both fantastic songs.
-
alright time to pick something safe and end up losing by 0.5 :metal
-
Sent for Round 8 :metal
-
Pup, why do you have Jingle Boy as your new avatar?
-
Is that finally the first sufficient score for electronic music I received this roulette :angel: :lol
Weird, dreamy yet huge sounding is a good description of most of the songs on Hi This Is Flume! It's quite varied and experimental but Jewel definitely gives a good impression. I do feel like you will find his colab with Slowthai on it too harsh if you'd ever check it out tho.

sent
had something else planned but looked over your banned list & checked what was sent and saw a surprising hole that needed to be filled posthaste
evermind, sorry, but you're not gonna be able to pass me 'cause i'm winning the round :hat
-
Pup, why do you have Jingle Boy as your new avatar?
Somebody has to represent his beautiful bald head. :biggrin:
-
Looks like yet another second place for me. :lol Glad you liked Galahad at least, the album is pretty good.
I'll send something this evening.
-
That's what I'd rate the Frost to, thereabouts. I'm not a massive fan, but that's a good album and a real grower.

Did I send already?

Scent sand and sent

who we missing, besides dacul? :corn

I haven't sent yet because I just, like, came home from work. I'll do it in an hour or two.

Alright, make sure to send the best song of the roulette so that Tomi gives you 20 points and you win the roulette

I had one in mind, it's banned though, so I've got to actually find something now.

I quite like it. Other than vocals, I think they are too high in mix and bass drums are a bit annoying. But as a song and style, I like it.
I'm surprised nobody sent Deathspell Omega, I heard something off their latest and loved it. Heard something older as well and hated it, too weird for my taste.

ROUND 8 RESULTS
FlyingBIZKIT
You kinda fucked it up with XTC but other songs were ranging from fine to great, you just didn’t have that much luck, to be honest or otherwise you’d end up a bit higher. Thank you for playing, I will definitely check out more of Thomas Giles, OSI and Daft Punk. Possibly some other.
Total: 39.5 points
home
Your path this time was (intentionally) different this time and I’m grateful for that, you sent some things I wouldn’t otherwise know of. Sadly for you, those didn’t fare well in comparison to other, more familiar genres with me. I’ll probably check out only Frightened Rabbit and Flume but who knows…
James Blake - Can't Believe The Way We Flow
This for some reason sound pretty familiar to me even though I rarely listen to this kind of music. His voice is soothing and chill on its own but in combination with backing track/instrumental it has kind of trippy and scary vibe. Still, a nice song but a bit less good compared to others.
4.5 + 1 = 6 points
Total: 44.5 points
Puppies_On_Acid
You always complained you don’t get my tastes but actuall majority of your submissions were good. Teramaze, VNV Nation and Liturgy are definiteli to-check-out worthy, I’ll see about the others.
Dark Quarterer - Colossus of Argil
I can’t believe you really sent 80s heavy metal, a ballsy move, especially when it’s sounding this raw. At first I didn’t like it at all, like you almost got 1 point for it. But after a few listen it grew on me more and more. It’s still not up there with the rest but I still liked it. I like most of the instrumental but vocals sound really outdated and I hardly could get into them even though they are pretty good (but over the top). Yeah, nothing more to add, it’s fine heavy metal but not really my taste.
5 points
Total: 46 points
Sacul
Oh, my man. You sent some of the best and some of the worst stuff in this roulette. When in doubt, don’t send anything weird :lol Anyways, I just loved The Cardigans and Failure, can’t wait to hear more of it.
Slowdive – Alison
I heard of this band and wanted to get into them (I think home sent me one of their songs) and it sounds like something I would like, it’s dreamy and quite catchy but somehow I couldn’t really get into it. Maybe it’s timing, maybe it isn’t for me, I don’t know. Simply, it bored me. Maybe I’ll try this band anyway.

Wolfking
You seemed like you couldn’t grasp my taste. Yes, you mostly sent stuff I found ok and pretty good but unfortunately you had trouble hitting above that. Nevertheless, Almah was cool. Eternal Tears of Sorrow as well but I had some troubles with it (look down below). Yeah, if other submissions were less good you’d probably had a better time but I most often got great songs. BTW funny thing is, looking at your submissions, I could check everything out, nothing was even remotely bad :lol
Eternal Tears of Sorrow – Prophetian
I most often like dark and gothic music, this actually reminds me of a bit older Paradise Lost. They incorporated keys in this song so well, I couldn’t imagine it without it. Guitar solos and riffs are great as well. One thing that pulls this song down a bit are the vocals. I don’t know if it’s be but I don’t like this type of dry growl, it sounds like he’s vomiting. If growls were better this would actually be my favourite song of yours.

Total: 49.5 points
Kwyjibo
You sent a lot of different stuff and I’m glad I liked both older and newer out of the things you sent. Also, you sent some stuff I would hardly check out otherwise so thank you for that. Looking forward to listening to Insomnium ,All About Eve and Soundgarden, even though I didn’t like that song that much.
Extreme - Leave Me Alone
This just seemed forgetful to me, sorry. There are some cool melodies and chorus riff is catchy but there’s something in that verse riff that just irks me. Vocals seem pretty powerful but the main melody gets old fast, reminds me of grunge stuff I don’t like. So no, not the music for me.
3.5 points
Total: 51 points
Stadler
You definitely introduced me to some stuff I wouldn’t otherwise even hear of. I’m particularly happy with Jane’s Addiction, it’s right up my alley and one of the best stuff I got in this roulette. Other than that, Fish is great. I know I reanked Angels And Airwaves but there’s more chance I’ll check out Keane, The Claypool Lennon Delirium and definitely Duran Duran (I just think I’ll like other songs better).
Steely Dan - Your Gold Teeth II
This is just not my style (anymore). I usually like vocal harmonies but in this one in didn’t hit me. Piano in verses is maybe a bit over the top and that takes some focus from vocals. And that jazzy guitar solo is not something I like in my music, sorry. As a whole, the song isn’t bad but it’s not my cup of tea.

TAC
Yeah, I’ll forget about some of the bands you sent (sorry) but I definitely won’t forget some of them :metal I listened to Mana by Idle Hands multiple times and it’s already one of my favorite 2019 releases, you just me hit the right button with it. To bad it went downhill from there but some stuff (Branch Arterial, Moonrise, Dreamwalkers Inc) are good enough as well.
Structural Disorder – Drowning
Let’s start with negative: I don’t like vocals. Actually, I like some of it and that’s when he’s around his natural register and he is not most of the time. When singing high he’s straining too much and doesn’t sound good at all imo. Growls are just fine, nothing more than that. And part with growls feels a bit disjointed. Other than that, when he’s in his natural register it’s a great tune. I love the part where there’s acoustic guitar and main melody played on bass. And also the part with accordion. Yeah, this is a fine song but with a few flaws as well.

Katellox
You went all over the place, your first and last submissions were my favorites. But actually, I didn’t dislike any other than Sons of Seasons, that was just out of my taste. Kings of Leon, Broken bells and Robert Plant are definitely going on my wishlist.
Kings of Leon - Back Down South
As I already said multiple times I heard some Kings of Leon (friend of mine listen to them) before and liked most of it, just never tried to really get into it but this definitely made me want to. I like this more than their more rock song, his voice works really well with that folky guitar. And of course, you know how much melodies are important for me and this has really great melodies and unlike most stuff I listen to (sounds almost country). Yeah, definitely a band worth checking, I just hope more of their music is this folky.

Looking back at your songs, even though you didn’t really get close to winning, everything is at least listenable and I could easily check out everything you sent (maybe not right now). The stuff I’m really excited about are Subsignal (already checked it out), Blind Guardian and Angra.
Blind Guardian - Bright Eyes
I somehow never listened to Blind Guardian, maybe only heard most popular stuff if it played somewhere but I’m familiar with Hansi from Ayreon and Avantasia, always liked his voice. It’s really powerful here and selling point for me. There’s also great guitar work, as it is most often in power metal stuff. Yeah, great stuff, can’t wait to check it out further.

At first, you were one of my first contenders to win this but sadly some middle of the park songs ruined it. Still, I think I could listen to all artists you sent but ones I’ll definitely check out are Phoebe Bridgers, Ben Howard, Glen Hansard and Jason Isbell.
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - If We Were Vampires
This didn’t actually qualify for bonus points even though it’s (kinda) country because I’m familiar with this type of a modern folk and Americana. Anyways, this is my thing right from the start, reminds me Mark Knopfler but with a bit nicer voice. Also, female vocals are nice addition and they go together well. I liked the melodies as well, have country twang but with a modern twist I like. The less good thing is repetitive guitar melody and a bit of its ordinarity, I’d say, not that original.

Evermind
You had a chance to win, if it wasn’t for that fluke (BBT). I actually think I could like them, just couldn’t get into that song, sorry. Most of the other stuff was pretty good, especially IQ, Karmakanic and Galahad, all epic stuff. Already checked out Karmakanic, not what I expected but fine nevertheless.
Myles Kennedy - The Great Beyond
Given how much I’ve been listening AB this last year and how much I like Myles’ voice I was expecting this to blow me away. Sadly, it didn’t. I just don’t hear anything special in it. The thing I like, though, is guitar. There’s mix of acoustic and electric which sounds quite nice. But as a whole, it doesn’t make me feel anything (something AB does). So yeah, you definitely blew you chances for 1st spot there.

Cyril
This was almost a perfect roulette for you, congrats! Amy Shark was the only artist I didn’t like, everything else ranged from good to awesome and most of the stuff is on my wishlist. I already checked out that album by fun. BTW if I would do that, I’d bump Be Calm 1-1.5 points up, it’s pretty much my favorite song of the roulette with Dragon, Why Do You Cry?, I couldn’t stop listening even after that round ended. Thank you for all the great music you sent :metal
Ancestors - The Warm Glow
It’s weird, I hear “something” about this but I never could get that. At least not as much as I did get most of your other songs. It’s kinda formulaic for this kind of music and it’s not like I’m always into it (same goes for band Elder). I like heavier parts and guitar noodling, I must say, but other than that not too original. But yeah, it’s not bad song at all, just not as good as most of your other submissions.

:footloose:
Top 5 is pretty nice! Glad you liked that Kings of Leon song so much. The album that's on is obviously one of my favorite albums ever - #4 in my Top 50 thread - and it has some rockin' stuff but also some very mellow stuff. If you'd like I could put together a list of songs you'd probably enjoy a lot based on your review of Back Down South. Thanks for letting me play - this was a fun roulette.
-
So yeah, you definitely blew you chances for 1st spot there.
I blew it with BBG, yeah, there were no chances after that.

The only thing cats are good for is as a speed bump.

I blew it with BBG, yeah, there were no chances after that.
To be fair we both had a pretty low score in the middle and then faceplanted in the last round :lol
Anyways yeet
I'm gonna send a playlist of other stuff I was considering tonight
And I distinguish that ancestors album from stuff like elder (and all the other ancestors albums, tbh) from the level of f e e l s but if you weren't wild about that one I can't imagine the rest will do much for you either
-
Yeah I felt too I just couldn't find a sweet spot of stuff you really liked. Oh well at least I stayed off the bottom.
-
Would you guys be interested if I updated this thread with albums of bands you sent after I check them out? Just with my score and maybe 1 or 2 sentences about those...

Absolutely!

I haven't done so well in roulettes lately, so I'll gladly take 4th place. :) I have a feeling that I would have done a lot worse had I tried to send something that would count as a tastebreaker. I'm happy you enjoyed some of the songs I sent.
I'm definitely interested in hearing your updates as you check out various albums. Happy listening. :)
-
Congrats to Cyril for winning, thanks to Tomislav for letting me play, it was fun and if I sent you some music you like all is good.

Congratz Cyril!!

Yes!
Thanks a lot for hosting! I enjoyed reading your thoughts on the songs I sent even though I hoped they would've been more positive :lol
But hey if you will at least check out Flume I've successfully sent a "tastebreaker" you might like. Eventhough I'm also quite sure Hi This Is Flume contains some moments you won't like at all....

I kinda tanked in the first round a bit, and overall you were more consistent, so a well-deserved victory here.
-
honestly i based my entire roulette submission list off of tomi saying he usually doesn't like upbeat or happy music and somehow i won by just sending random crap that was generally bright in sound & completely ignored the tastebreaker gimmick altogether because i forgot it existed tbh
anyways i sent a short playlist of extra stuff via PM, if i can think of anything else to add i might add more but it's 1 AM and i'm awake for god knows why hhh
-
Yep, Cyril in this roulette is easily the most consistent participant I had in both v1 and v3, can't count v2 because it was elimination roulette and even there, home who won, didn't won a round beside last two :lol he only try when it counts :P

100%!
Thanks for running this, and nice job all around. It was fun. I wish I didn't screw the pooch at the 11th hour, but so goes it.

Congrats Cyril! Thanks for having me tomi, was fun although my performance was really all over the place :lol

Totally! I think I'll also send you a few extra songs via PM if you don't mind.
