Title: SN's Homestuck roulette: jpeg hero (final results)
Post by: Shadow Ninja 2.0 on July 25, 2020, 12:00:11 PM
Hello friends, I have decided to succumb to peer pressure and run the kind of roulette all the cool people are running now, in the hopes that it will fool others into believing I am cool.


FORMAT

Submissions are in the form of a number of songs from a single artist, totaling 20 minutes or less in length. 20 minutes (20:00) is a hard limit; if you send me a submission one second over 20 minutes you will be publicly executed I will ask you to resend. Note that there is no maximum number of songs, as long as it is under the total length requirement. You can send a single song if you want, as long it's under the maximum length, and there's no need to force submissions to reach 20 minutes if you don't have the songs for it. The minimum submission length is 1 second I guess, although I'll go ahead and say a submission like that will probably not receive an ideal score.

Right now I'm thinking there will be 9 rounds, although I may adjust that down if each round ends up taking a long time. There are no themes or requirements for submissions other than the ones outlined above, although there will be STRONG recommendations down in the TASTES section. Did I just stick an advertisement for one part of my post in a different part of my post? Yes. You can't stop me.


RULES

Any artists on the banned list cannot be sent at all. There are other artists I've heard a few songs from, but am not familiar enough with them to ban them outright, and those artists are free to be sent provided you don't send one of the songs I've already heard. So, for instance, if Stadler decides to join this roulette and wants to risk sending KISS, he can do so but he can't send 'Rock and Roll all Nite,' because I've already heard that one. Listing every song I've ever heard so people don't accidentally send them sounds like a fucking nightmare, so we're just going to assume it won't happen often and when it does, I'll just let you know and you can swap the song out for something else.

Submissions can be in the form of youtube or spotify playlists. You can also send me files directly if you need to, although that should be a last resort because it sounds like a bit of a pain.

Scores will be between 1 and 10. I will refuse to use decimals in this scoring scheme unless I decide to stop refusing to do so.

There are no eliminations in this roulette, so send whatever the hell you want with wild abandon. There aren't any prizes, either, so really, what the hell are you losing?


TASTES

So I liked The Walrus's idea of the lead-free roulette to avoid the more typical prog metal submissions, but I don't really want to filter out metal entirely, because I love metal. I do, however, want to strongly caution against prog metal. There's a ton of that stuff on my banned list, because I listened to a ton of it years ago, and while I still enjoy a lot of my favorites, I very very rarely find anything new in that mold that excites me at all. So, don't send it. At this point I'm not going to reject submissions, but you're likely to get a pretty weak score and hopefully that will be sufficient deterrent.

So enough about what I don't like. What do I like?

Interesting question.

I love metal. I like pretty much all forms of it, death, power, melodeath, metalcore, etc. etc. and so forth. Metalcore and tech death are two genres in particular that I've been really into lately and finding a lot of stuff I enjoy.

I also like a lot of indie music, from almost invisible stuff like múm to something more rambunctious like Modest Mouse's most energetic moments. I love really good post rock, although I find the majority of that genre to be perfectly pleasant but mostly uninspiring. I like bits and pieces of pop, rap, jazz, etc., but haven't explored the genres that deeply so far.

I like a lot of just straight-up weird shit. I mean, I'm a guy who listens to Devil Doll and unironically thinks it's amazing. I'm not going to say I'll like anything weird that you send me, but it's generally unlikely that the weirdness itself is going to be offputting for me.

^ Is this helpful? Maybe, maybe not. If in doubt, you can always just ask me how I feel about a given genre or artist and I'll try to give a useful answer. Ideally I'd like everyone to be pretty adventurous in their submissions in this roulette, because the main idea is to get me into music I wouldn't have found without your help. Does that mean submissions outside my wheelhouse will necessarily score better? Well no, but they will earn my respect, and isn't that worth more anyway???


Participants

Finally. After reading through all that shit up there, your moment has arrived. Your time to shine. Your opportunity to add your name to the list of daring explorers diving into this morass of bullshit. You could walk (or sink) among them. You must act now. You have no other choice. Sign up now.

There's no limit on the number of participants. All are welcome here!


BANNED LIST

Note: Even though majority of these are groups that I like, not all of them are. This is a list of groups I've heard enough material from to feel like I've made up my mind on their music one way or the other. And as I said, it leans heavily towards progressive metal, but don't use that as a guide because it will lead you astray.

I'm glad you like East of the Wall so much that they're on your banned list twice

I have a frankly ridiculous number of artists to select from here so I'm gonna try to only send the best of the best (4/10)
i don't know what it says that there's been like a dozen artists i was tempted to put on the list and then didn't and then going through comparing my picks to the banned list almost every single one of those artists was already on the banned list anyways lol

I assembled the banned list from several sources into a spreadsheet and then ran a sort script, intending to go back and eliminate redundancies but I forgot I meant to do that. Whoops. Ghost Brigade was on there three times.

Should be fixed now.

Maybe not that huge but mine's way bigger than expected too. In this for sure.

Also I welcome this as the new definitive roulette format; the only reason I wouldn't do it for my own is because I don't have enough time to listen to that much music each round

I'm also such a goddamn trend-setter, apparently. I did the first album roulette a few years ago, and now my up-to-20-mins-from-the-same-artist format is taking off as well.

And as I said in Katt's roulette, I'm delighted and honoured to be copied.

That was way too confusing so I made a spreadsheet two roulettes ago and have been amending and expanding it each time.

I've thought about making a roulette without a banned list where the scoring is based entirely on how well you can make an interesting story and make it flow well. All artists can be used.

Kind of like making me see artists I know in a new light.

Quick question for Shadow Ninja. What kind of equipment are you listening to these submissions on?

Only reason I ask, is if you are listening on some cheap Headphones/Earbuds/Airpods (yes Apple's Airpods are cheap(ly built) and sound like shit, as do all of their imitators......I will die on this hill) or cheap PC speakers a lot of the subtlety of some of the stuff I want to send would be lost. Not judging if you are listening on cheap equipment, just curious.

Every song on the album is great because it doesn't have you

Reuptake is great and Low and Beholden is great (I'd rank both of them above The Devil You Know) but I did not have time for any other songs besides The Devil You Know and On Your Laurels after picking the three best songs on the album and I like the former more so

One of the songs is Call Me Trimtab - I'll be able to figure out the others if nobody else does.

2:   Nothing technically wrong or bad, but it's leaving me kind of cold (Evermind, iamthemorning)
3:   Thank you bean (Sacul, Refused)
4:   I really like the harsh sections (Cyril/ariich, Actor | Observer)
5:   Did Jari finally get that studio built? (TAC, Euphoreon)
6:   Great music, mush production (wolfking, In Flames)
7:   pretty weird  (Buddyhunter1, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum)
8:   The clean vocal melodies seem lacking (Cyril/ariich, Actor | Observer)
9:   Pretty much every part of this is working for me (Tomislav95, Arcane Roots)
10:   I love a lot of the music but the vocal lines feel uninspired (HOF, Fernando Perdomo)

This one is not yours, but I'm amused by the idea that there are several submission in this roulette that could be mistaken for a Björk-fronted metal band.

Did someone say first impressions??

1:   This has elements of what I dislike about [insert genre], but it might be musically adventurous enough to make up for it
2:   Nothing technically wrong or bad, but it's leaving me kind of cold
8:   The clean vocal melodies seem lacking
9:   Pretty much every part of this is working for me
10:   I love a lot of the music but the vocal lines feel uninspired
11:   Vocals really let down some pretty groovy music
12:   This is a strange mix of styles that melds together really well
13:   Energetic and pretty varied

Not saying all are equally likely, but any of these could be.   I would bet on 1, 2, or 11.  Outside shot of 13.

OK all impressions are now revealed, and results should be coming sometime tonight, in local shadow ninja time.

Also a note on scoring: since I've decided to eschew decimals and since it's basically unheard of for someone to send me a song I actively dislike, I'm going to be using the scoring scale more liberally. So some of these scores may appear pretty vicious on first glance, but they're really not. For instance, a 5 in most other roulettes would be brutal, but here a 5 is just something I like aspects of but am not crazy about the whole thing.

ALL THAT TO SAY don't worry if your submission gets a low score, because there's much less difference between a 6 and 9 than you might think and it should be easy to recover (or do the opposite of recover).

I've done that sort of thing before (trying to make scoring more relative rather than absolute) but I distinctly made the scores out of a number other than 10, because I find it impossible to score things out of 10 differently to how I'd simply rate how much I like them in absolute terms.

my "out of 5" scoring system is an attempt to ensure the whole range of "thing i dislike" is scored equally because 95% of the time i don't use scores below 5/10 anyways and it essentially means a 0/10 and 4.75/10 are equal

i think it's kind of bent a little bit to the point where i feel like i've started giving like, 4.5ish/10's a score of 1 instead of 0 and some 6.75ish songs a 3 instead of a 2 (or well the reverse-scoring equivalent in my current roulette) but i've mostly kept it consistent i feel?

Yeah, I can see what you mean. I'm hoping that after the first round it'll be pretty easy because I'll have established a baseline for what each number means.

Yeah, that's sort of what I was thinking. It didn't make sense to have a scale that I never even touch the bottom half of. There are hardly any songs I've ever heard that I would rate as 1 in absolute terms, honestly. Maybe that song that was getting played back when I still listened to the radio that just said 'like a g6' over and over for three minutes? That was pretty bad. Or something with Gwen Stefani. Note to participants, don't send Gwen Stefani.

That said if Buddy and Sacul really want to go the shitpost route, I will breach the number line and start using negative values.

Fernando Perdomo
Flying to Utopia
The Light
Smile
Sonja
Amicable
Arturius
4 points


This one is a bit of a mix. I find most of the music quite nice, and, on The Light especially, I think it’s great. That main riff with the bend? Just really sublime. My issue with the vocals remains, unfortunately. And I agree with you actually, I think he’s got a pretty nice voice, it’s the vocal melodies themselves just really don’t work for me at all. The instrumental tracks are pretty nice, but I think they’re less interesting musically than the vocal tracks, and the synth on Arturius I unfortunately find really grating.

So yeah. I like parts of this a lot, and other parts of it not much, which averages out to something that I’m ok with overall.


Stadler
KISS
Only You
Under the Rose
Shout Mercy
4 points


So yeah, my first impression still pretty much stands. Musically, Only You and Under the Rose are enjoyable enough, if not particularly exciting or ambitious, but the vocals really let it down. The melodies seem pretty underwritten, and the delivery feels uninspired. The big choir-y section in Under the Rose is actually a pretty cool idea, even though it doesn’t totally work for me, and nothing here is bad or unpleasant to listen to, it just doesn’t leave much of an impression either. Shout Mercy is more what I was expecting from KISS, pretty rocky and fun and it’s my favorite of the three. I don’t know if it’s the same guy singing here, but if it is, this grittier rock vocal style definitely suits him a lot better. The vocal melodies still aren’t doing much for me, but the delivery’s a lot of fun.

I basically dared you to send this band, so I appreciate you being a good sport and doing it anyway. :lol  And as I said in my earlier post, low scores here don’t indicate dislike. I’m no convert, but I can rock out to Shout Mercy at least.

5 points


This actually has grown on me a little since I wrote my first impression, Lighthouse especially, but it mostly still stands. It’s perfectly competent, well-performed music, with nothing in particular that I find offputting, it just doesn’t really strike any chords with me. As I said though, Lighthouse has grown on me, and I like the main melody and it’s a really cool moment when Mariusz comes in.


Puppies_On_Acid
Negură Bunget

Hora Soarelui
6 points


This is a very interesting submission. It’s got some elements that tend to turn me off in black metal, the sort of mushy production where vocals disappear behind the instruments, there’s a lot of musically adventurous stuff happening here that improves it for me. The harsh vocals are ok, but they’re not great and those sections tend to interest me the least, but even though the clean vocals are pretty odd, I actually enjoy them most of the time when they show up, and the music is really engaging, especially when it stops riffing and roaring and just goes into weird, bass-driven flute-y sections. I’ll also say, even though not every bit of this appeals to me, the way the compositions are put together is really exciting; it kind of reminds me of maudlin of the Well, where you really never know what’s going to happen next. Hora Soraelui is probably my favorite of the three songs here.


Buddyhunter1
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
Sleep Is Wrong
Powerless
6 Points


Yeah, so this is definitely pretty strange. It’s all over the place, with weird melodies, abrupt changes, and an overall sense of unease. There seem to be two main vocal styles here, a deep, harsh nearly-growl and a falsetto. The former I really really like, but the latter unfortunately I find a bit offputting most of the time. I really love Sleep Is Wrong, as all of the disparate elements work together to great effect and the first vocal style seems to be predominant here. Powerless doesn’t do as much for me, it seems too long for the ideas used, and I find the falsetto bits to be kind of grating. There are still a lot of good things there (the heavy “POWERLESS”, and the weird downtuned-sounding bass part) but to me it doesn’t exactly come together to a cohesive song and pulls the score down a little.


TAC
Euphoreon
Zero Below the Sun
The Grand Becoming
7 points


TAC, if you don’t listen to Wintersun, you should, I think you’d really like them.

This is just really good, hard-hitting metal. It’s not groundbreaking, really, but if you execute something well you don’t need to be. I don’t usually get into solo sections that much, but the solo in Zero Below the Sun made me scrunch my face in the universally understood symbol for ‘listening to disgusting guitar work.’ (might have been a keyboard though? Can’t really tell) Some of the vocal sections are surprisingly catchy for being entirely growled (ZERO BELOW THE SUN) and honestly I’m entirely convinced Jari isn’t doing them, although I do think they could have done with a bit more variety as they can feel a bit monotonous by the end.

I think The Grand Becoming isn’t as strong as Zero Below the Sun, and both songs suffer a bit from running longer than the ideas in them justify, but it’s still really enjoyable music overall.

I have no solid reason why I’ve never listened to In Flames. The only thing I can think of is that I dismissed them years ago before I got into harsh vocals, and just never revisited that decision, because frankly this is exactly my kind of music. Great riffs, ferocious vocals, good songwriting, just nice all around. From what I recall of In Flames lore, The Jester Race is generally considered their best or one of their best, but I actually like the Colony song Embody the Invisible the most of the five here, though they’re all enjoyable. Unfortunately, all of the songs also suffer from sound issues. I don’t know if it’s an upload artifact or the production, but there is some serious mush going on here, which makes it harder to listen to. Honestly, absent that issue, this would be an 8 easily or maybe a 9. It’s choice stuff.

(i wanted so badly to have these not be on different lines but i've spent so long messing with the formatting and i just want it to end)

Since these two submissions are from the same artist and also have two songs in common, I’m going to talk about them together. Stylistically, this group is exactly my kind of thing; I love the way that these sorts of post-hardcore/metalcore band use an aggressive sound to put across something very emotional and how it compliments the softer side of their music instead of really contrasting with it. And I love the screamed vocals here, I think they’re pretty much perfect for the style. As I mentioned in my first impressions though, a lot of the clean vocal sections seem lacking to me. In Your Ways (a song you both sent, interestingly) kind of exemplifies this the most; it’s got a really nice buildup at the start, but when it gets to the chorus the melodies don’t seem to hit as hard as they should. One song where the melodies really do work for me, though, is in Pareidolia; the fragile almost-crying tone in the ‘maybe that’s why she asked’ is perfect.

Pareidolia is my favorite song out of the ones you guys sent (probably number 3 in the round overall); even though I wasn’t sure about the vocal/lyrical style at the start, it turned out to suit the song perfectly, and then the clean sections into the furious finale to the spacey ending are amazing. This song bumps Cyril up to 8 points instead of 7, even though Reuptake and On Your Laurels - the two unique full songs in Rich’s submission - I would rate higher than The Devil You Know or the two common songs.

I did consider giving you both the same score just to be an asshole and let the debate rage on though. :P



romdrums
22
Inspec
Staying Embodied
You Are Creating
Call Me Trimtab
8 points


As I said in my first impression, this is a really energetic and surprisingly varied submission. The first song, Inspec and the Call Me Trimtab have a Mew-like feel to them that I really like, with the fast tempo and high-register vocals but have some surprisingly heavy riffing as well, You Are Creating has a really cool Strokes-style swaggering groove, and they pull it all off really well. No one instrument is taking the spotlight here, but they’re all extremely tight and all have something interesting going on if you listen. The vocals are one of the big assets here for the most part, soaring over the music and taking a lot of different moods across the four songs, although some of the harmony sections (like the chorus to You Are Creating and in the second half of Inspec) don’t quite work for me, which pulled the score down a bit.

I think you said in your message that the band had broken up recently? If so, that’s a real shame because there’s a lot of talent here and some great songs.


The Walrus
Enya
Caribbean Blue
Wild Child
Orinoco Flow
Dark Sky Island
8 points


I’m vaguely familiar with Enya via cultural osmosis, but outside of Only Time (which I really like), I don’t know that I’ve ever listened to any of her music. It’s beautiful, gentle, ethereal stuff. I know I’ve Devin Townsend mention that Enya was a big influence on him, and I can definitely hear that in the way she builds soundscapes out of her voice. Caribbean Blue and Wild Child are wonderful, lush songs that are really just a joy to listen to. Orinoco Flow, I have to admit, doesn’t really work for me, the quirky staccato instrument and vocal approach just get a bit of a shrug from me, but…

Dark Sky Island is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. It’s my favorite song of the round, and would easily be a 10 by itself. It’s the song that made me break my self-imposed ‘only listen to roulette songs during scheduled roulette listening’ rule because I wanted to keep hearing it. Orinoco Flow is a bit of a miss for me, but overall this is a fantastic submission.

You don’t have to worry about sending me bad stuff yet, because I really like this. When I first listened through these songs, I really had no idea what the fuck was going on. It’s metally? But the vocalist sounds vaguely like Bjork, and half the time her vocal approach is just sort of yelling? But damn, I really got into this. The music is fast paced and hard-hitting, the vocals are compelling and emotional, and it’s really not like anything else I’ve listened to. It’s not my favorite submission of the round, but I think it is the one I was always most interested to listen to again, because it fascinates me. Fire and Carry are my favorites of the group (Carry especially), but Horde V and Sugar Dragon have a lot of good in them as well.

This is an odd mix of styles that somehow manages to feel coherent. It’s got the cascading guitars, frenetic drumming, and production style I tend to associate with black metal, but then it’s got Mew-style vocals and there’s a sort of post-rock-y feel to a lot of it. I think the production actually works to the benefit of the music here, building a sort of ethereal atmosphere that the songs sit in. The songs feel almost peaceful somehow, even though the guitars and drums are really tearing it up most of the time. I know I’ve been picky throughout these writeups on vocals, but I gotta say these are just really working for me, they act almost as instrument or a texture, but they stand out when they need to and the melodies are lovely.

I was not at all expecting the brutality of this. The riffs are punishing whenever they’re not groovy, the vocals are throat-tearing and relentless, and the quieter sections in between are both unexpected and perfectly placed to build the tension before the onslaught unleashes again. It’s surprisingly musically inventive, too, with the violin section at the beginning of Tannhauser and the accordion wtf section at the end.

Honestly, I just really fucking like this. The only bits that don’t exactly work for me are the kind of spoken bits that crop occasionally in between furious outbursts, but they don’t detract much from the overall effect. Servants of Death is a bit less good than the other three songs, but it’s still great and has an enjoyable groove to it.

I don’t know what kind of music this is, but I love it. Progressive indie rock is the best term I have for it, which is a thing I don’t even think exists. It’s adventurous and exciting musically, moving from lush atmospheric synths to some pretty heavy riffs, but nothing ever feels out of place. Since I’ve talked a lot about vocals in these writeups, I really need to mention these here, because they’re nearly perfect as far as I’m concerned. The melodies are wonderful, the delivery is beautifully sincere and emotional and even though his voice may not be the strongest in the conventional sense, it suits the music and melodies perfectly. Belief is my favorite song of the set, and is number 2 overall.

Send for round 2! So I realized I didn't mention anything about submission deadlines in the signup rules. What does everyone think about three days from the time results are posted? I wouldn't kick people out or anything after that point, I'd just go ahead and start listening to whatever I have, and if you get in late your songs may just not get as many listens. Does that seem fair? Too aggressive? I'd like to keep this on a pretty quick timetable so we don't have huge lulls, but I don't want to rush people either since some of you exist outside of this forum. Let me know what you guys think!

I can accept that score, anywho  :metal
I would also agree that Reuptake is better than The Devil You Know. Unfortunately, I only had 20 minutes.
I was considering swapping out one of my songs for Low and Beholden, which is also really damn excellent. Probably #4 on the album for me. But it's an incredibly good album.
the clean vox are great tho ur objectively wrong lul

So happy you like that song. That song brings me to tears and I have a hard time listening to that album these days. I revisited Dark Sky Island recently because I got the sheet music for the album, and it's just a magical song. You would like the whole record if you enjoyed that song so much.

You'll have my submission tomorrow. Loads of choices to pick from.

Awe man, couldn’t beat out Kiss! ;-) I’ll make a mental note that you don’t care for the vintage synth sounds. I almost sent something else for the last song, but figured I’d try a curveball and that one always makes me smile. Different strokes.

Sending something totally different shortly.

I apologize, I will update your score immediately!

I'm actually planning on buying an album from all the artists that scored 7 or above. Not for every round because I can't afford it, but this is my CD buying month so what the hell.

You can consider your CHRVCHES dept repaid, and you are now free to send whatever you want.

Which, uh, was probably what you were doing anyway, so keep it up.

I sent Gothic Death style Metal for Round 2..

The top 5 scoring entries are actually all quite different, so don't lose hope yet. Your belief in the impossible makes it slightly less impossible!

Stadler usually doesn't log on until Monday, so I can move your entry above his if you want. :P

And yeah, it always sucks when music you like doesn't hit other people for whatever reason. I always respect people for trying something different though, even if my respect cannot be redeemed for cash at any locations so its value is indeterminate.

Nice, 9 points. That album feels like one of those cases that could spawn a new subgenre, if others artists ever pick up on something similar.

Sent.  Unpredictably predictable.

FYI, the vocals on "Only You" are mainly Gene Simmons, up to the "I can't believe this is true..." bridge, which is Paul.   Both sing the outro chorus.  "Under The Rose" is all Gene Simmons (except for the choral).  The vocals on "Shout Mercy" are Paul Stanley.

This is a lot of detail for a round that scored a four.   ;) :) :) :)

Is Paul Stanley generally the main singer? I like his style honestly, I could listen to an album of him.

I put your remaining picks into a randomizer on my spreadsheet and let it choose the order for me. If someone tries to steal your thunder again though I'll advance whichever group it is to the current round and push the others back.

Paul and Gene share vocals, but if I had to guess, I'd say "60-40" Paul, or "55-45".    For a period there from about 1983 to about the reunion (1996) he called all the shots in the band (still does, if I had to guess).   Gene was off doing movies and investments and TV shows, and Paul kept the juggernaut going.   He's got most of the singles, certainly all of the ballads.   If you like his voice, DEFINITELY check out the '78 solo album.  It's probably the most "Kiss-like" and on any given day, it's my favorite.   "Take Me Away (Together As One)" and "Goodbye" are as good as any Kiss song.

I'll put it on my list of albums to check out once I finish this roulette, and then get back to you guys in five years or so when I finally manage to get through all of it.

On a related note, all submissions are now locked into place and ready to start wreaking mayhem, (can you wreak anything other than mayhem or havoc?) which should put us in a good position to have results on Saturday again, or possibly Sunday. I'll post the hangman sometime tonight also.

Boooooo

I picked one track not from Mantiis, but that album really is the sum of its parts as far as I’m concerned. Last time I did a top 50 albums list here it ended on #10. While I don’t think I’d place it that high nowadays, because of more discoveries since, it would still be in the upper half of the list.

File under 'series of words that should never be used as a song title'
Followed directly by the song, Breakfast in Bed   ;)

DUDE!!!!!!!!   You're reading my mail!    I love that song; I LOVE it.  I think the main riff is excellent, and that second riff that Blackmore plays at the end - da-DAT, da-DAT, da-DA-da-da - is really cool.   Musically, it's one of the better songs on that record; BUT.... worst title in the catalogue.  I'll sing along with this song and I refuse to sing the title.  I was listening to this over the weekend and I almost started a thread about "bad song titles", I kid you not!  And the funny thing is - not that the rest of the lyrics are Shakespeare, but - the title doesn't even make sense with the rest of the lyrics! 

By the way, One Man's Meat isn't as bad as the title suggests, though at one point, he DOES mean exactly what you're thinking.

My internet has been down all day so there's no telling when I'll actually be able to continue listening, but in the meantime and by dint of some witchcraft, I have procured first impressions.

1:   I don't listen to anything like this but I really like it
2:   To be honest I don't have any strong feelings about this
3:   Seems like it would be right up my alley
4:   Riffs are good, vocals are there
5:   At times a bit chaotic but the quieter moments are really nice
6:   Heavy, but not as heavy as I expected
7:   The harsh vocals aren't really working for me (wolfking, Omnium Gatherum)
8:   I would play this video game (Buddyhunter1, Anamanaguchi)
9:   Part of this strongly reminds me of another band I really like (Cyril, Mithras)
10:   This avoids the shortcomings of [tributary genre]
11:   Interesting stylistically but not as much musically (TAC, Tribulation)
12:   Hogarth?  (HOF, Talk Talk)
13:   This should be my kind of thing but it's not doing much for me
14:   I could see how the vocal style might be a turn off but it's working for me
15:   Great guitar work

14:   I could see how the vocal style might be a turn off but it's working for me (Tomislav95, mewithoutYou)
15:   Great guitar work (Stadler, Deep Purple)


And now let's do some results.

Elite
Obsidian Kingdom
Oncoming Dark
Through the Glass
Cinnamon Balls
The Polyarnik
Answers Revealing
Last of the Light
4 points


Unfortunately my first impression of this hasn’t changed much. The riff at the end of Oncoming Dark is amazing, Through the Glass has some pretty cool moments, the ambience of The Polyarnik is nice, but I just don’t get what they were going for with the vocals at all. The clean vocals aren’t very interesting either in delivery or melody, and the harsh vocals are kind of actively offputting. The music is pretty good, but outside of a few standout moments it’s not really enough to overcome the vocals.


Evermind
Portishead
Mysterons
Sour Times

Glory Box
5 points


I swear I’m not giving all your submissions 5 points just to fuck with you. :P

I enjoy a lot of trip-hop, so this seems like the kind of thing that should really appeal to me, but for whatever reason it’s just not really hitting me. Musically I dig the sparseness of it and the atmosphere, but that really relies on having the vocals to carry it, and the vocal melodies here just don’t really do anything for me. I do actually like her voice and style a decent bit though.


TAC
Tribulation
Melancholia
Strains of Horror
Lacrimosa
5 points


Like I said in my first impression, stylistically I find this pretty interesting. The sort of gothic tone, echoing vocals somewhere between death and black metal, the classic style guitar work, it’s a pretty interesting sound. And though it has grown on me a bit since my first listen, ultimately my opinion hasn’t changed too much. I enjoy listening to it, all the sounds are pretty nice and well-performed, but nothing stands out too much either, and none of the songs make much of an impression on me after I finish listening to them.


wolfking
Omnium Gatherum
The Second Flame
Gods Go First
Frontiers
Living In Me
5 points


So this is some pretty standard melodic death metal. Musically it’s quite good and the guitar work is enjoyable to listen to, but I find the singer’s harsh vocal style really strange and kind of offputting which makes it hard to get much out of the music (which I do actually think is quite good). Interestingly, I think the clean vocals that appear very briefly in The Second Flame are fantastic, I really wish he’d done that more often. His idiosyncrasies do seem a bit toned down on Frontiers, which is my favorite song of the bunch.


Stadler
Deep Purple
Lick It Up
No One Came
Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming
6 points


I’m pretty sure the only Deep Purple I’ve heard up until now is the Smoke on the Water riff, but this is probably about what I would have expected from them; pretty enjoyable hard rock. Lick It Up and No One Came both fit this mold, the songwriting and melodies don’t really stand out to me, but they’re fun and the vocal performance is great. Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming is definitely my favorite track here though, and kind of breaks from the mold. The guitar work is amazing, both the acoustic at the beginning and the electric solos throughout. The rockier parts are actually the weakest parts of the song, the moody sections with a more restrained vocal performance and the emotive guitar solos really carry the song.

So, mixed impressions, but if your goal was to impress me with Blackmore, you can consider this a success.


Puppies_On_Acid
Enslaved
Ethica Odini
Neogenesis
6 points


This is another one that has grown on me. The vocal style in Ethica Odini is a bit odd but I’m pretty into it now, and musically both the heavier and softer sections are really good. The clean vocals I’m not so hot on; the melodies aren’t very interesting and they just don’t really seem to add anything to the songs, but they don’t come up that often and the song is still pretty enjoyable overall. Neogenesis is more of a mixed bag, though. The clean vocals still don’t work, and the sort of staccato riff and barked vocal section just doesn’t do anything for me at all. On the other hand, the long instrumental/guitar solo sections are really great. If I did awards like Rich did in his roulette, I’d give you the ‘Mixed Feelings’ award.


Sacul
Converge
Concubine
Fault and Fracture
Hell To Pay
Dark Horse
Eve
6 points


Yeah, so I’m being a little tricky with some of the first impressions this round. Obviously this is pretty heavy, but the guitars and vocals seem to be very treble-y for the most part so it’s not the crushing onslaught I was expecting. This is probably the main drawback here for me; the fuzzy, phone-speaker-style effect on the vocals really lessens the impact of the songs, even though I really enjoy the frenetic energy of the music. I should also note this these effects seem to be mostly confined to the Jane Doe tracks; Dark Horse, my favorite track here, is fantastically ferocious and most of the vocal effects seem to be absent, and Eve has a totally different vibe going, a sort of plodding, ominous build where the more sporadic appearances of the effects actually works really well.


HOF
Talk Talk
Happiness is Easy - 1997 Remaster
Ascension Day
Wealth - 1997 Remaster
7 points


This is a really interesting submission, and I think is probably one of the ones that grew on me the most. At first it didn’t make much of an impression on me, maybe because a lot of it is really understated, but further listens really brought out a ton of depth that wasn’t immediately apparent (to me, at least). What I love is how restrained and subtle a lot it is; there’s a burst of acoustic guitar, here’s a trumpet, but don’t let them overstay their welcome, now they’re gone. There are tons of little licks and sounds that hide in the background. Steve Hogarth (I’m convinced it’s him) does a great job with the vocals, but he’s not oversinging and he’s not anywhere he doesn’t need to be. The drumming is tight but doesn’t draw attention to itself. The keyboarding in Wealth is just beautifully subtle all the way through.

The only real issues here are that I think Wealth goes on maybe a little too long, and just when Happiness is Easy seems like it’s going to go into a great chorus, those damn kids show up and start singing. I’m sure they’re nice kids, but they can’t sing at all. Get ‘em outta here.


romdrums

Transmissions of Static
This Space Between Us
7 points


This feels like it’s a mixture of post rock and post metal, but it manages to avoid the major shortcomings of both; the former tends to feel a bit repetitive and the latter like songs that someone just forgot to put vocals on. These songs move from typical post-rock guitar cascades to some pretty heavy riffing and are pretty varied throughout, and every change feels like a natural progression from the last one. There’s nothing here that stands out quite enough to bring this up to an 8, but it’s still a really enjoyable style that can function as background music while also being interesting enough to work as a focused listen as well.


Luoto
Be’Lakor
Countless Skies
The Smoke of Many Fires
7 points


This is another submission that grew on me a lot over the round. Initially I was pretty ambivalent towards it, especially the vocals, but the music really opened up on subsequent listens, and while I’m still not crazy about the vocals, I think they work well enough for what they do, particularly on The Smoke of Many Fires, where they’re almost melting into the guitar riffs at times. There’s quite a lot of variation here instrumentally, from piano to heavy riffing to quieter almost post-rocky sections, and the unpredictability of the song structures makes it an engaging listen.


Cyril
Mithras
When the Stars Align
Howling of Distant Spaces
On Strange Loops
7 points


In case you’re curious, the band this reminds me of is Alchemist, in terms of the tribal chanting style of the vocals. The artwork even looks kind of like Alchemist, weirdly. I think you said this was the submission you were least sure about, and I guess I can see why, but it’s mostly working for me. The robotic drumming, deep monotone vocals, and guitars form a unique sort of cacophony that strangely manages to be enjoyable music. I think it could do with a bit more melody to soften it some and break up the onslaught, but this is still an interesting and definitely unique submission overall.

This is like the more relaxed brother of Anamanaguchi. I’m not even completely sure what kind of music this is since I don’t listen to anything that’s particularly comparable, but I really enjoy it. The gently blooping synth melodies of the first two songs create a calm, relaxing atmosphere, and Half Light is some very nice synthy pop music. I don’t actually have much to say here other than that I’m enjoying this a lot.

Like I said in my first impression, I could see how this dramatic sort-of-talking vocal style might not work for some people, but I’m enjoying it pretty well and I think it fits really well with this kind of punk-ish/post-hardcore music. There’s also a surprising amount of variation here, in terms of music and vocals as well, going from the declarative style to screams to very smooth, clean singing. I see there are several albums represented here, so I don’t know if this is indicative of the way they’ve developed over time, but it makes for a great listen. Julia is my favorite song in this group, and I think it’s probably my favorite song of round 2 altogether. You are really cleaning up in this roulette so far.

Theon, the Fox
8 points


This is just some really lovely music. It definitely feels very indie, but there’s a lot more going on musically than is typical with a lot of indie stuff, and the song structures are much more inventive and unpredictable. The vocal harmonies and piano in Overture are beautiful, I love the banjo in From Outside the Cellar, the instrumentation in general is quite varied and interesting, and the vocals are (mostly) perfect for the music.

Like I said earlier, I was a bit tricky with the first impressions and yours was specifically about the song Three Tigers, where there are few sections that seem to have half a dozen different things happening at once, and initially it didn’t seem to work together too well and just came across as kind of noisy, but on further listens it’s grown on me quite a bit and I really enjoy it now. The only real drawback for me is the chorus of Theon, the Fox (the ‘billy goat’ section), where the vocals just sound really thin and don’t have enough power to them. It’s a minor complaint though, given how well I think the vocals work throughout the rest of the songs.

Oh hell yes. This is incredibly fun, upbeat, joyful music. I’m usually not too into music that leans heavily into video game-y sounds, but they manage to make really engaging songs with it. The melodies are good, the bloopy synths are great, the energy is ridiculous. The one song with (significant) vocals is a bit less good than the others and the ending section of Lorem Ipsum seems unnecessary, but altogether I really enjoyed this.

I would also advise you to listen to the full album since tbh it's very hard to take individual songs from this album out of context, it's meant to be experienced as a full 56ish minute piece and definitely ebbs and flows a lot better that way (and there's probably more of the melody in some of the other tracks too tbh, i just picked some of the stronger cuts but it was hard to pick for this set lol)

Gentlemen, I have faith in you. It may be ill-advised and misplaced, but it is there.

Yeeeeeeah, first place! Almost makes me wanna forgive you for saying Sunset By Plane is the weakest song of that bunch. Almost.

Well, I liked all of them. I should probably note though that the order within a point score doesn't indicate preference. All 8s are pretty much equal. (now I really won't be forgiven)

And sent! :corn

Watch out or I'll give you a 5. :P

HOF
Talk Talk
Happiness is Easy - 1997 Remaster
Ascension Day
Wealth - 1997 Remaster
7 points


This is a really interesting submission, and I think is probably one of the ones that grew on me the most. At first it didn’t make much of an impression on me, maybe because a lot of it is really understated, but further listens really brought out a ton of depth that wasn’t immediately apparent (to me, at least). What I love is how restrained and subtle a lot it is; there’s a burst of acoustic guitar, here’s a trumpet, but don’t let them overstay their welcome, now they’re gone. There are tons of little licks and sounds that hide in the background. Steve Hogarth (I’m convinced it’s him) does a great job with the vocals, but he’s not oversinging and he’s not anywhere he doesn’t need to be. The drumming is tight but doesn’t draw attention to itself. The keyboarding in Wealth is just beautifully subtle all the way through.

The only real issues here are that I think Wealth goes on maybe a little too long, and just when Happiness is Easy seems like it’s going to go into a great chorus, those damn kids show up and start singing. I’m sure they’re nice kids, but they can’t sing at all. Get ‘em outta here.


I’m glad it grew on you. They are not an immediate band, which is one of the reasons I love them. They reward repeated listens. I think both of your criticisms in the last paragraph are fair. I like what the children’s choir adds as far as the overall message of the song, and I just tend to think of it as another unique sound in the pallet (like with the trumpets or organs or whatever). But I can see how they might be a little off putting. Happiness is Easy is the first Talk Talk song I heard (apart from It’s My Life), and it might still be my favorite. That bass line/rhythm is so cool. Wealth is a little long and I was hesitant to send it for that reason. It’s a mood piece and also the conclusion of a challenging album (Spirit of Eden) so in that context it’s perfect and I wouldn’t cut it down at all. But as a stand-alone song without context it does go on. All I will add is that I have drifted off to sleep several times while listening to it, and that’s actually a really nice experience. It has a very calming effect.

Mark Hollis does have a tremendous voice. It’s an instrument as much as anything, and in some ways it doesn’t need words. But some of the words in these songs are really moving. He was a brilliant singer and writer who accomplished what he wanted to in a few albums then called it a day to have a normal family life (from what I can tell). He left at the height of his creative output, and unfortunately died young, but there’s a completeness about the Talk Talk catalog that I love because of that decision.

Will send round 3 in a little bit.

Thanks for the info, and yeah I can definitely see how the extended length of Wealth would work a lot better in a full album context.

I'm glad I checked in on that album just in time to send some of the songs to you  :biggrin: You'll have my round 3 tomorrow, I'll be spending tonight narrowing down my options based on the results.

The first song actually made me think of múm a bit at the start, so I was going to give you a hard time for not scoring them higher, but the rest wasn't all that múm-like at all. I do like the idea of there being 'ninja music' out there, to exist alongside 'zantera/sacul music.'

Well I expected a little more tbh but I'll take it. Yeah you'd probably love Axe to Fall, the production on that record is insane :metal

Although I'm glad Talk Talk and Anamanaguchi scored well, 5 points for Portishead is not forgivable though >:(

I'll admit, not getting much out of Portishead caused me to start questioning my own tastes and personality. Am I really who I claim to be? Or am I just a trip-hop hating imposter? We may never know.

Be'lakor seems to always grow on everyone who's generally into that kind of stuff, so I'm not really worried about any lukewarm first impression towards them. I would agree the vocals have improved since Stone's Reach but the music easily makes up for it in my books.

Also I find it weird that it's often the clean vocals people nag about in Enslaved's music. Axioma Ethica Odini is a fantastic album and clean vox have a lot to do with that.

If it's any consolation, a 4 in this roulette isn't really equivalent to a 4 in any other roulette.

Austral Alien is my favorite, but I agree with Puppies that the bands don't sound too much alike apart from the vocalist and the chanting vocal style.

And with that, the first cheat of the roulette (though I figure I'm in last place, so it could just as easily be considered "ineptitude").

Nice, really glad you liked it so much! Write-up all seems completely fair. I guess I see why you said chaotic - not that I think it warrants such a strong term but I agree there's a lot going on. It's an incredibly varied double album and while there's some filler, the variety keeps it interesting and there are amazing songs throughout. I think you'll like it.

And yeah he doesn't have a particularly powerful voice, but as you say it's a perfect fit for the music for the most part, although I appreciate there is the odd section where stronger vocals might have been a little more effective.

I'm on holiday next week, so I guess I'll try and put together the next two rounds before I go.

Ruby Pool is pleasant, but I wouldn't rank it in the top half of that album. Veritgo is the better chill breather track, IMO.

First record ain't bad but it pales in comparison to After the Disco. IMO After the Disco is one banger after another. The only songs on that album I'm not crazy about are the last 3 but even those are good. All the others, I love  :biggrin:

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I like After the Disco but I definitely prefer the debut (and was considering sending Shadow some songs from it - shame we didn't team up!).

I honestly didn't think anybody else would sent BB (I think I'm the only person who's sent them in roulettes since I showed up here) so that's actually really nice to know. Now you got me wanting to play the first album again, which I'll probably do today  :biggrin:

Oh snap!

I didn't discover them until sometime in 2014. I think it was late summer. Me and a friend were baked and he put on Holding On For Life and I instantly fell in love and got the album. Turns out After The Disco came out on my birthday that year! I still listen to those songs all the time.

prog metal band with 2 monthly listeners on spotify so probably a TAC special?  :lol
Presumably those 2 listeners are him and Shadow. That was the case for one of the bands he sent in my roulette (he and I were the only listeners), can't remember which though.

EDIT: Actually I think it was Cloudbreaker.

also i never commented on it before but those are some mostly good 22 picks except I'd have picked Sum of Parts and Autumn Stream for sure
those albums (or single album if you listened to it like I did) are super inconsistent and the best songs are pretty obvious lol

Go to the artist's page and in the top right it tells you the number of monthly listeners. Click that and it tells you where people are listening from.

Don't you need to like, listen one month and listen again next month to be considered a monthly listener? Showing up on there for just listening once doesn't seem right. Tried listening to a band with 13 monthly listeners (that I haven't listened to on Spotify recently) to see if it would go up to 14 but it's not happening yet. Though I guess it could just take some time to update.

update: this is garbage, none of the individual tracks are even in sync (the vocals are always slightly early, the bass falls out of sync regularly), the production is an utter mess, the synth strings sound hilariously cheap, aaugh i could only make it through one track lol

Yeah could be something like that. You definitely need to be listening in that month/in the last month/however it works in order to be counted. For example I'm no longer showing as a listener for Cloudbreaker whereas I was when I was listening to Tim's EP.

Yeah there are several that are titled with 'Remastered.' I probably didn't need to include it in the title, but I wasn't sure if the remasters differed significantly enough from the originals to change it. Plus it's in there now, and changing it would be a pain.

Also, my internet is finally back. Fingers crossed I can make it through my full listen for today.

Update on the Spotify monthly listeners conversation from earlier: I checked Aleolias today and now they're up to 5 monthly listeners, and I see my city in there. :lol Guess the "monthly" term is complete bullshit. Kinda depressing actually, as now those numbers are actually higher than I would expect them to be, even for bands with hardly any. :sadpanda:

Well the thread title changed so it's time to do stuff. Get a load of this:

1   I really like the dramatic vocal style (wolfking, The Tea Party)
2   SN roulette first: love the vocals, not sure about some of the music (Cyril, Planetarium)
3   Good but maybe not very memorable (Stadler, Rainbow)
4   Yeah I'm having fun with this (Evermind, Ensiferum)
5   Really beautiful music (Sacul, Sufjan Stevens)
6   Energetic and catchy (Buddyhunter1, Pendulum)
7   Best vocals of the round? (Elite, Agent Fresco)
8   I really don't get what the vocals are doing here at all (TAC, Aeolias)
9   This may be your redemption (Puppies_On_Acid, Darkest Hour)
10   This is a style I don't listen to much but like whenever I hear it (Tomislav95, The Cure)
11   This is giving me flashbacks to the dark times (romdrums, VOLA)
12   Nice of Devy to provide some vocals (ariich, Black Peaks)
13   Nice but I think the vocals should be stronger than they are. (The Walrus, Broken Bells)
14   Well performed but not making much an impression on me (HOF, Steve Hackett)
15   All good but one song really overshadows the rest (Luoto, Maraton)

Maybe it's just because I've never heard anyone other than Devy do those kind of fry screams, but they sound distinctly Devin-ish to me.

So this is something. I honestly have no idea what the vocals are doing at any point in this. There don’t seem to be any melodies really, just sort of aimless, occasionally melismatic wandering, sometimes she does a kind of half-spoken thing that doesn’t work either, and the harmonies are pretty brutal. Musically it’s not terrible, but the songs feel incoherent, like there’s no real direction or reason for anything that’s happening and nothing builds on what came before it. There are some cool bass runs I guess? But they feel like they’re totally disconnected from everything else that’s going on around them. Sorry man, this really doesn’t do anything for me.

So you figured this probably wouldn’t be up my alley, and I guess you were more or less right about that, with caveats. It’s definitely well-performed, as I said in my first impression, and to its credit, where I’d expect a guitar player’s solo work to be mostly just guitaring with the other stuff as a background, these do feel like pretty complete compositions. The guitar is definitely the lead in most of it, but it’s not just aimless soloing with an instrumental backdrop, which is pretty neat. The songs don’t really do much for me personally, but I can certainly appreciate the performance.

So this is indisputably some great guitar playing. I don’t listen to a whole lot of instrumental music as I find most of the compositions aren’t quite strong enough to stand on their own, and this probably isn’t going to change my mind, it’s definitely a nice listen. In addition, Vielleicht das Nachster Mal is just a beautifully melancholy guitar solo. I feel like I’m hearing some Petrucci here? (By which I guess I mean I hear Blackmore in Petrucci) Or maybe it’s just because I don’t listen to a ton of classic rock guitarists. Either way, it’s fantastic playing and a great piece and is the clear standout here.

As a side note, I’ve been trying to learn German lately, and I’m pretty sure it ought to be Vielleicht das Nachste Mal grammatically. Maybe we can get some Germans in here to correct me if I’m wrong.

6 points


I was pretty into this on my first listen, as is reflected in my first impression, but I’ve actually cooled down on it in subsequent listens. A Paradox with Flies and The Misery We Make have a really cool mix of almost punk-y energy with the anthemic vocals with the heavier death metal influences, and I really enjoy those two. The ‘gargly’ (sorry, don’t know a better way to describe it) of harsh vocals aren’t exactly my kind of thing, but they work pretty well in this context. Your Every Day Disaster is a pretty standard death metally instrumental and is nice enough but doesn’t leave much an impression on me, and the last two songs seem to drop the clean elements in favor of being straight-forwardly heavy, which is less interesting to me in isolation.

Also, Your Every Day Disaster is super quiet for some reason, which causes Fire in the Skies to deafen me every time it comes on. That didn’t affect the score though.

6 points


Look, man, I was there in the 2010s when the djentpocalypse happened and suddenly everyone started tuning their guitars down to absolute zero and chugging so hard it shook the universe. And while this isn’t pure djent, it leans pretty heavily into it, and my reaction is about the same as to most djent, which is: It’s…OK. There are some heavy, off-kilter riffs and nonoffensive rhythmic vocal melodies, but it all feels pretty sterile to me. The Same War and Stray the Skies are fine listens but nothing really grabs me. Still is a bit less djenty and I like the melodies although overall the song doesn’t move me much either.

That said, Ruby Pool is an absolutely lovely song. Fantastic vocal melodies and harmonies, nice sparse instrumentation, beautiful restrained guitar solo, just great all around. I’d listen to an album of this. I’d listen to an album that was just Ruby Pool repeated 10-15 times.


wolfking
The Tea Party
Fire in the Head
Bazaar
Psychopomp
Cathartik
6 points


So like I said in my first impression, I really dig the vocalist’s style and his voice. Reminds me pretty strongly of Jorn, actually. He’s got a really cool dark, dramatic delivery in Bazaar and the slow buildup of Psychopomp, and a sort of vague looming menace in Cathartik. Musically nothing blows me away, but it’s varied enough to stay interesting and creates a pretty compelling atmosphere. Fire in the Head is kind of a miss for me; both the angular riffs and the vocal melodies are kind of grating to me and pulls the score down a bit, but the other three songs I like quite a bit.


The Walrus
Broken Bells
After the Disco
Holding on for Life
The Changing Lights
Lazy Wonderland
6 points


I like the pseudo-80s sound and style of this pretty well, but it’s not really resonating with me much beyond that. It’s a nice listen and I enjoy it while I’m listening to it, but the vocal melodies aren’t very compelling to me (I do really like the verses of Lazy Wonderland though), and the music, while cool and stylish, doesn’t really stand up on its own if the vocals aren’t working. Honestly this seems like it should really be my jam but for whatever reason it’s not totally clicking.


ariich
Black Peaks
Glass Built Castles
Say You Will
Hang ‘Em High
6 points


This is another submission that ought to be exactly my kind of thing, but that I’m only kind of lukewarm on overall. The harsh vocals are great and there’s some pretty good variety there from the low yells to the fry screams, but as has been a trend in this roulette with post-hardcore stuff, I find the clean vocal sections to be kind of underwritten in Say You Will and Hang ‘Em High, although I think they’re stronger in Glass Built Castles, which is my favorite song of the three (and pretty strong overall). Instrumentally it feels pretty standard, which isn’t bad, but isn’t particularly compelling either.


Cyril
Planetarium (James McAlister, Sufjan Stevens, Nico Muhly, Bryce Dessner)

6 points


I still have mixed feelings about this. The vocal oriented sections I love (excepting the vocoder ones, which I don’t really get it) and I think they’re incredibly beautiful. The symphonic-ish sections are pretty nice, although I don’t think they mesh super well with the vocal parts and they’re not particularly compelling. The electronic sections parts (like most of Mars), I feel similarly about. Not actively bad, but just kind of there. At the very least, though, this has convinced me I ought to listen to Sufjan Stevens.

Also, just as a point of interest, I didn't move this submission up because Sacul had sent one of the Planetarium songs, this was where my randomizer had assigned this submission from the beginning.

This is some really fun folk-y metal. Jari (this is Jari, right?) has definitely grown a lot as a singer since then in terms of clean singing, some of the sections in Lai Lai Hei are kind of iffy (although I dig the presumably-Finnish sections a lot), but his harshes are great and they seem dominant over throughout the other songs. It’s strange, but these sorts of medieval-sounding melodies combined with heavy riffing just really works. Plus there’s just something funny about a brutal metal song dedicated to drinking beer. The wonky bits of Lai Lai Hei pull the score down a bit, but I had a lot of fun with this. In retrospect, the ‘this might be your redemption’ impression should have been yours, probably.

HOLY SHIT BLOOD MUSIC IS SUCH A GOOD SONG. Seriously, strong and emotive vocals, huge chorus, and cool electronically-influenced-metal sound. It’s just great all around. It’s so good that it’s kind of surprising that the other two songs are just all right. Prime has a really cool main riff and the verses are nice, but the chorus is a bit off and doesn’t work too well, and Spectral Friends is pretty nice on all fronts but nothing really stands out.

I don’t even know what this style is. British new wave, I guess? Whatever it is, I really like it and I don’t listen to it enough. There’s a really great emotional quality to all of the music and vocals here, and even though no instrument really takes the spotlight here they’re all supporting the songs perfectly. Nothing here is quite good enough to bump this up to a 9 or a 10, but there’s nothing weak here either. (and, I mean, you’re doing pretty well score-wise anyway)

So yeah, the vocals are amazing here. He’s got a high register that slides beautifully into floaty falsetto and he seems just as comfortable in big choruses as in the more pensive moments. Musically I’m enjoying this a lot too; it’s like someone took a hatchet to all the excess of progressive metal and only left three-minute runtimes and inventive song structures. There’s the odd bit I’m not crazy about, like the subsonic riffing in Destrier or the staccato bits in See Hell, and Yellow Nights as a whole doesn’t do much for me, but overall I’m really enjoying this.

This reminds me a lot of Celldweller; catchy, poppy, electronic-leaning music with a lot of high energy rock influence. The result is something that is just a hell of a lot of fun to listen to. The melodies are catchy. The beats are hard. Steven Wilson is here. That’s a party if I ever heard one. There’s enough variation, with piano and acoustic bits cropping up throughout to keep it from feeling one-dimensional. The score is only this low because the dubstep in Dusk isn’t really my thing. It’s not terrible, but I’d probably never listen to it of my own accord.


Sacul

Fourth of July - Live
Moon (from Planetarium)
9 points


You know, I’m not sure why, but I didn’t expect Sufjan’s music to be this beautiful. And that’s really the best word here, beautiful. There are really no harsh sounds here at all; gentle, smooth instrumentation, his fragile-sounding voice that suits the songs, and the melodies are always lovely (even when the lyrics get pretty dark). Fourth of July is the first live track someone’s sent in this roulette so far, and honestly if it weren’t for the applause at the end, I wouldn’t have guessed; it sounds flawless, although I think the ‘we’re all gonna die’ section at the end is a bit much. The Planetarium song is a bit stranger and while I’m still not sold on the project as a whole, Moon works pretty well here as a quiet coda to the other songs.

Hackett is definitely more of a composer than a flashy performer, which is one reason I think those early solo albums of his hold up well decades later. But not even the great Richie Haven could salvage this one I guess.

Damn, coulda gotten a 9 if it weren't for Dusk. Oh well, good enough. :) Definitely give that album a try, there's not much dubstep stuff on it except for a couple songs.

I'd also recommend the second VOLA album, it's a lot less djent-heavy than the first.

amusingly i know every song off dacul's sufjan disc since i've been sent two of the four, one's off planetarium, and i already knew chicago from elsewhere

based on my current trajectory i'm expecting a 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0 in the next six rounds

 :lol I noticed that about your scores as well. I'm confident you'll rise from the ashes soon.

Hackett is definitely more of a composer than a flashy performer, which is one reason I think those early solo albums of his hold up well decades later. But not even the great Richie Haven could salvage this one I guess.

Something different coming your way soon.

Richie Haven is the singer on the last track? I actually did like his voice quite a bit.

Damn, coulda gotten a 9 if it weren't for Dusk. Oh well, good enough. :) Definitely give that album a try, there's not much dubstep stuff on it except for a couple songs.

I'd also recommend the second VOLA album, it's a lot less djent-heavy than the first.

Will do, and I can overlook a bit of dubsteppiness.

Blood Music is indeed a banger, and I can see the other two not being as impactful to someone. Maybe Mosaic would've worked better instead.

I sent... well, a band.

Bold choice, we'll see if it pays off.

Poopjuice.

I'll try to get something to you tomorrow. Feeling awful right now and going to doctor Monday likely going to have surgery so might not be active as much

Hope everything turns out all right for you, man. Don't worry about the roulette if you've got real life stuff, you can always make up a round later if you miss one.

Well, at least I'm being consistent(ly bad). Sent for round 4.

6 is actually pretty good. I'd rank it right under the threshold of 'I will probably buy this at some point,' but I still enjoy it for the most part. Your submissions are always interesting, if nothing else, I think Negura Bunget is probably the strangest thing I've been sent so far (maybe Sleepytime Gorilla Museum is stranger?).

Wow, glad you liked that!

Agent Fresco are probably one of my favourite bands. Eagerly awaiting a third studio album. I specifically like the way you describe their music; "it’s like someone took a hatchet to all the excess of progressive metal and only left three-minute runtimes and inventive song structures." That's awesome. I think you'll at least enjoy the rest of the two albums those tracks came from!

I sent two non-metal entries and got a 5 each time. I sent a metal entry and got a 7. :lol

I just sent another non-metal entry so I guess I'm getting a 5 again.

Just out of interest, looking at the entries that have scored 8 or above, we have:

Post-hardcore (2)
Metal (4)
Enya (not sure about genre  :lol) (1)
Punk (1)
Rock (1)
Electronic (3)
Indie (2)
New Wave (1)

So it seems metal is not a death sentence but nor is it a guarantee. I should probably look at each round with the number of metal entries that scored 8 or above compared with the total number of metal entries. And then breaking down the pretty broad 'metal' into subgenres might be telling. Now I'm getting excited about doing statistics on this.  :lol

But really, I think metal can go either way. On the one hand, it might be a safer bet because you already know I like metal, but on the other, I've listened to so much metal that a lot of bands will just end up being 'thing I already like, but not done quite as well,' which tends not to score very well.

ALL THAT TO SAY there is no way to know, and we will all perish.

So you were right, I don’t dislike this as much as the other Boris song you sent me (although I think it’s actually getting a lower score, since my scale is a lot different this time), but I’m still not really liking it. Foremost, the production just makes everything so damn noisy. It’s almost painful to listen to. It kind of makes a cool garage-band kind of vibe on the rocky Ibitsu, but the rest of the time I just have to wonder why. Clearly it’s an intentional choice, but it baffles me. Then the vocals. Man. Again, they’re all right and kind of fun on Ibitsu, but the rest of the time I can’t seem to find any melodies, he’s just yelling. Farewell starts out pretty solid with some post-rock-y chiming ambiance, but then the vocals show up and start doing… whatever they’re doing and I don’t get much out of it.

Sorry man. Ibitsu is pretty cool at times, and there are good ideas elsewhere, but the vocals are pretty offputting and the sound is so abrasively noisy it’s hard to even enjoy.

I’m strangely ambivalent towards this. It’s got a lot of stuff I like, heavy riffs combined with quiet acoustic sections, present but not overpowering death and black metal influences, strong clean vocals, but even though I enjoy listening to it, it doesn’t make much of an impression on me. The swelling clean vocal sections in The Means to Preserve are my favorite bit here and I enjoy them quite a bit, but the rest weirdly leaves me a bit cold.

This is pretty nice music that feels like it’s sitting somewhere in between post rock and post metal. There are some pretty meaty riffs as well as cascading guitars and spacey ambient sections and they move pretty seamlessly between all of them. Unfortunately, for me it kind of falls into the trap I feel most post metal does, which is that the music doesn’t feel full enough to stand on its own without vocals. It’s nice while I’m listening to it, but none of it sticks with me afterwards.

Based on the artist name and the song names and the fact that you sent this, I was expecting it to be power metal. But instead it’s some very 80s-inspired electronic instrumental tracks. And it’s got a really cool vibe and atmosphere, sounds like it would be a soundtrack for a really stylized video game (maybe it is?). That’s kind of the weakness here too, though; it feels a bit too empty to stand on its own as pieces of music. It’d be a cool backdrop for a game or just to listen to going about your day when you want to feel like you’re in TRON, but on its own it’s not quite enough.

(and less I realize this is a strange opinion coming from a guy who listens to Bohren & der Club of Gore)

First off, I gotta say that I appreciate you sending me weird stuff. Sometimes it hits and sometimes it doesn’t, but it’s always interesting. This, for instance, has so many things that ought to make it a slam dunk with me. The dark, dramatic, half-spoken vocal style, the weird lyrics, the shifting styles of the music, the Tom Waits-esque delivery in 197. It’s all interesting and it comes really close to working for me, but for every melody and vocal line that I like, there seems to be one that falls completely flat. The opening lines to Impermanence are spectacularly bizarre; the female vocal lines in Madeleine Crumbles don’t work for me at all. The verses in Heart Machine I seem to both like and dislike at the same time.

Honestly, this is probably the most difficult entry to score so far in the roulette. It feels accurate now, but it’s possible I’ll come back to this in a few months and be completely in love with it.

It was funny reading Heretic’s writeup for this song, because the clean vocals are actually my favorite part here. The gritty-but-still-clean ones used in the heavier parts; the style is pretty cool and the melodies are interesting. The harsh vocals, conversely, I find to be ok but not particularly compelling. Musically, it feels like competent, maybe above average proggy/blackened metal; the riffs are crunchy, solos are blistering, and it’s fun to listen to, but there’s nothing really to set it above a lot of other stuff I’ve heard in this style.

I’m not really sure what kind of music this is? Progressive stoner sludge is my current diagnosis. There’s a lot of nice stuff here, spacey, atmospheric sections, groovy drumming, some pretty heavy riffs, but overall it’s not quite connecting with me. It’s something I can definitely see the appeal of, and it’s a nice listen, but for me I feel like it spins its wheels a bit too often for too long and I’m left waiting for a while for the next interesting part to come up.

(also I like the vocals pretty well, since that often seems to be my sticking point on stuff)

This is some pretty solid thrashy metal. The vocals are a bit further into the harsh spectrum than I generally expect from thrash, and they’re a bit monotone but still work fairly well. All the instruments are tight and well performed, the solos are good, and I enjoy listening through the songs, but ultimately nothing stands out too much to me. That is, with the exception of the lyrics to Glorious End. I’m not generally a big lyrics guy (as you folks can probably tell, I barely ever mention them in these writeups), but I found these to be pretty compelling and perfectly suited to the vocal style and they end up really elevating the song.

Once again, I have mixed feelings about one of your submissions, which I guess is fair enough because there’s a pretty strange mix of sounds here. The sections with less busy, more electro-indie-ish (just made that up) instrumentation really work for me, along with the accompanying quirky smarmy indie vocal style (another term I just made up), like most of classic j dies and goes to hell part 1, especially the first half, and the verses of cold weather. The more busy/hardcore-y sections, though, I feel are kind of a miss most of the time. The production is really paper thin which reduces the intensity that ought to be there and the sound just sort of turns to mush a lot of the time. The bits I like I think are really good, but the ones I find offputting pull the score down.

OK, first thing, these vocals are disgusting. They’re disgusting in a really enjoyable way, though, and I think they work really well, with the exception of the five-year-old-girl-screaming style, which is just… why? But that aside, this is really fast, heavy, relentless music, though they’ve got enough slightly calmer sections to keep it from being overwhelming; I don’t have much criticism instrumentally. The bass in particular is just utterly absurd. To be honest, I don’t have much to say about this other than that (with caveats) I’m enjoying it.

Your submissions were close enough (like, 66% the same :P) to give them the same score. I’m not totally sold on the clean vocal bits at the end of Charging the Void, but the other hand it’s longer than Oblivion, so overall there’s probably more there that I like just in terms of minutes of music. Anyway, super close. I’m almost convinced you guys coordinated this. :lol

You know, on the surface there’s nothing particularly strange about this, but if you asked me to describe what type of music it is, I really have no idea what I’d say, except that it sounds British to me. :lol  There are a lot of multi-part harmonies, unexpected song structures and instruments (cellos and flutes?), pretty catchy melodies, and tight instrumentation. I guess it sounds a bit like what the Beatles sound like in my imagination (the Beatles in reality tend to bore me). There are some things that aren’t working for me; the verses in Disappointed are super shaky, and I don’t really get that point of It’s Okay to Change, but the majority of this I’m enjoying quite a bit, Working to Work and Give It, Lose It, Take It especially.

This is a really interesting sound. I love how they seem to incorporate stringed instruments (violin, maybe a cello?) as a primary part of their sound, along with keyboards and acoustic guitars. The music and melodies have a really great minor, melancholy, sometimes-bordering-on-ominous sound that really appeals to me. Vocals are restrained and suit the music perfectly, excepting a few moments that don’t work for me (the harmonies on Sunday Morning, and I’m not totally sure how well they work with the more forceful instrumentation on Shades). Overall I enjoy most of this, but Lover is the best song of the bunch, and probably the best song this round.

There’s something hilarious about giving you your highest score so far for an artist I explicitly told you I didn’t really like. :lol  Musically this is both more varied and more heavy (Accident of Birth) than I was expecting. Songs move from clean picking to heavy riffing to ripping solos seamlessly, and avoids one of the other things that bugs me about Maiden (namely, that their production makes their music sound like mush). But these songs are mainly about Bruce, so let’s talk about Bruce. In the past, it’s been his wailing that hasn’t done much for me. And yeah, that hasn’t changed too much here, but everything else he’s doing is really working for me. The softer, dramatic style he uses in the verses of Jerusalem is great, and the grittier growl in Accident of Birth is right up my alley. All this has the result of making me appreciate the wails a bit more when they come up, particularly in Tears of the Dragon, where it’s really clear he’s putting everything he’s got into his vocals (reminds me of Tobi from Avantasia in that way), which makes it pretty compelling even if his timbre isn’t quite working for me.

This probably won’t make me a Maiden fan, but bizarrely it seems to make me a Bruce Dickinson fan, who is one of the main reasons I don’t like Maiden. :lol  I recommend that you continue to ignore my recommendations in the future. :P As a side note, I knew Tobi was a huge Bruce fan and based his singing style on him, but it’s still crazy to me how much Metal Opera I & II-era Tobi sounds like Bruce. Stadler, have you heard those albums? I’ve never been a huge fan but you might find a lot to like there.

I’m similarly baffled as to how to describe this style (maybe I’m just bad at identifying genres :lol), but I am really into it. The music is all over the place, energetic to pensive, rock to pop to math rock, the bass is always doing something interesting, from support to counterpoint to crazy little runs, guitars and drums are always in motion, but everything always fits and never sounds forced. The vocals are just flawless. They’re kind of poppy/jazzy (maybe this is just what ska sounds like? My only experience with ska is Detective Jake Peralta saying he’d never abandon it), they’re gentle, they’re soaring, the harmonies are amazing and I just really have no complaints at all about them. (a staggering achievement :P)

I’ll take my 7 on that one. So I really am only familiar with their Open Here album (the one with Time in Joy), but I figured I should check out some of their other stuff to see if there was something interesting to send. So these were pretty much chosen based off my first impression, then I listened back a few times and decided I really liked it. I’m surprised you didn’t like the verse on Disappointed. I thought that was one of the stronger hooks. It’s OK To Change Your Mind was just filler really. I guess the two touch points for me with Field Music are Talking Heads and XTC, but that would involve a Beatles influence as well. Kind of a nerd rock meets prog outfit maybe.

I'm still kind of undecided if I'm going to do first impressions for the rest of the roulette. I don't feel like I usually have anything interesting to say at that point so they're all pretty similar. I was thinking about coming up with some other fun things to do in between listening and scores, but I haven't settled on anything in particular yet. Maybe I'll just change the thread title three times a day.

So my first impression of this was that it was all right, and that’s still kinda where I am. There are cool moments throughout, like with the Spanish-style acoustic guitar in Night on the Petrified Sea, and both songs create an interesting atmosphere, but none of the vocal sections are really working for me, and the songs feel like they spend most of their time wandering kind of aimlessly instead of building towards something. I also think there’s too much time spent on the French (some of it also sounds Spanish?) spoken-word sections. I don’t speak any French (or Spanish, clearly, since I can’t tell the difference) so I don’t get any meaning from it, and I don’t feel like the delivery is really that interesting on its own, so it just feels like filler.

This has got a sort of 2000s rock/post-grunge sound to it, in terms of the song structures and the vocal melodies. The vocalist reminds me a lot of the guy from The Smashing Pumpkins, actually, which is a bit unfortunate I suppose, since I have a lot of the same problems with him. His timbre and delivery definitely have their moments, like in the beginning of Starseed when he’s going for a more straight-ahead rock grit, or the mid-2000s-mainstream-rock stylings on Somewhere Out There, but most of the rest of the time he’s leaning into that grunge/post-grunge nasality, which is a miss more often than it’s a hit for me. Instrumentally I enjoy a lot of what’s going on here, but as is usually the case the vocals tend to be the make-or-break for me.

To be honest, I just can’t really get into this that much. Vocalist definitely has a lot of talent, but none of the melodies really work for me, and the songs seem kind of meandering. Musically there are some pretty nice moments, but nothing really stands out much to me either. It’s not a bad listen really, I’m just not getting much out of it.

So there’s some things about this I really like. The first two songs from the Reality Vs. The Optimist album have a softer post-hardcore sound mixed with pretty unconventional instrumentation that’s quite cool, although there are a few moments where there’s just too much going on at once and it becomes a bit noisy. The other songs from The Meek Shall Inherit What’s Left seem to lean into the noisy part a lot more heavily. They’re also really spastic and frenetic, with the songs changing randomly. I actually like that kind of thing in general, but I don’t care much for the busy/noisy sections when they appear, and then I don’t feel like I get long enough with the more subdued ones to fully enjoy them.

So I’ve heard a few Primal Fear songs over the years, and generally enjoyed them, but never enough to check them out much beyond that, and I get pretty much the same impression from these songs. No doubt, Ralf Scheepers is a fantastic vocalist, and listening to him is the highlight here. Outside of that, the songs are just all right. Melodies are usually pretty good, there are some nice solos, but nothing really stands out as exceptional. The best parts really just make me want to go listen to Judas Priest’s Painkiller again. (Speaking of JP, the ‘condemn to hell’ in Evil Spell is definitely a reference to Sentinel, right?)

One of the main issues I have with pure black metal is the ‘recorded using a cellphone in the middle of a forest’ production. This isn’t pure black metal but it seems to be using that same ethos; there are some really lovely sections here, like the middle of Against the Moonlight, but I have to chop through a mile of staticy paper-thin guitar to get to it. I like the beginning of Those Who Linger At Night, although it’s a bit long, and the clean vocals afterwards I think are really cool, but they’re obfuscated by the production again. Mixed feelings overall, I suppose.

This reminds me a lot of the band 3, in terms of the heavy-riffing, lightly-proggy music combined with the alt-rock style vocal style. My impression of this group is kind of the same; they’re clearly good musicians, the songs have a nice mix of riff-centric heaviness and more atmospheric moments, the vocals are competent and pretty well performed, but there’s nothing that pushes my impression beyond ‘pretty nice.’ The vocal melodies are good for the most part, but don’t really capture my attention, apart from the chorus to The Grand Delusion which I do really like.

I wasn’t really into this at all on my first listen, but a lot of it’s grown on me since then. Stylewise they seem to be somewhere between indie and post-hardcore, and has been a trend with me in this roulette and post-hardcore-ish stuff, I sometimes find the vocal melodies a bit lacking, like the chorus and ending section of Piano Player, but at other times, like Your Deep Rest, they really hit the sweet spot and work really well for me. Most of this isn’t blowing me away, but it’s still a nice listen overall.

I’ve heard about this band here and there, but never listened to them because I thought their name was bad. I still do, actually. How the fuck are you supposed to pronounce that? But anyway, let’s talk about music.

So, what kind of music is this? There’s a lot of black metal influence here, from the relentless drumming to the vocal style to the production, but there’s a lot of weird electronics and other sounds happening as well, and most of the song after the first few minutes until the end is a sort of spacey, stream-of-consciousness trip hoppy progression. A saxophone shows up for a few seconds, and then there’s a flute melody that reminds me of Caprica for some reason, and then suddenly the band goes back to rampaging mode as the harsh vocals and heavy guitars reappear. The clean vocal sections near the beginning of the song I find pretty obnoxious, and I’m not convinced it totally holds together as a coherent song, but the majority of what’s going on here I really like.


Sacul

The Sound
Lunacy
7 points


I remember reading some description of Swans years ago as being incredibly heavy, and I checked out some of their music, and presumably being disappointed with the lack of heaviness I never went any further with them. I still have no idea what that person was talking about because this isn’t particularly heavy, but it is quite good. They do the typical post-rock slow crescendo on The Sound, but they do it well and the sparse addition of the deep, old-country style vocals works really well, and Lunacy has its own sort of ominous build and eerie vocal harmonies that remind me of Low. I think both songs - particularly The Sound - go on a bit longer than is necessary, but this is still a very enjoyable listen.

This is a really interesting stylistic mix of a sort of indie/folk, some post-rock, and black metal, and all of the sides of their sound are executed really well. The songs are varied enough that they never became boring, but the transitions between sections feel really natural even when they happen very quickly. The vocals are handled really well too, the cleans as well as both the black-metally shriek and the more death metal-esque growl.

This is exactly the level of absurdity I like in my power metal. I never listened to Rhapsody of Fire much because I didn’t care for Fabio’s voice, but this guy is my kind of singer. You can definitely hear the opera influence, but he doesn’t have the really heavy vibrato that put me off of Fabio’s style. He can also deliver catchy melodies and shriek out high notes beautifully, which is a requirement for all power metal singers. The music is just as ridiculously over-the-top and dramatic as the vocals, from symphonics to light speed guitar solos. I think the songs could probably benefit from being a little more focused, but it’s a relatively minor complaint.

I wasn’t totally into this at first, I think probably because it’s pretty different from anything else I listen to, but every time I listened through I liked it more. The music is really quirky and funky, from acoustic and clean guitars to synths and I think I heard a ukulele somewhere? And then the vocalist. Damn. She’s the clear star of the show here; she’s got this really dynamic, vaudevillian style that’s always interesting and pushing the song forward. I also get the sense she doesn’t like rich people?? I would have a really hard time picking a favorite out of the songs here, but I agree that Nothing to Lose is absolutely a worthy addition.

Also, whenever I get to the ‘avocado’ part, I always think of ‘try the papaya’ from Empath.

The 80s have a really distinct style of production, that huge, echoing sound, and I really love that when it’s done well. I’m not totally sure all these songs are from the 80s, but at the very least they sound exactly like the 80s. The instrumentation feels really rich, there are lots of synths, strings, a trumpet somewhere I think, and there’s a ton of variation both between songs and within each song itself. The vocalist has an incredibly smooth voice and an impressive vocal range (if the singer on Goodnight Song is the same as on the other songs? I’m honestly not sure). Woman in Chains is my favorite song here, but they’re all a real pleasure to listen to.

This is the kind of black (ish, I suppose) metal I love. It’s that enormous wall-of-sound in the heavy parts, but the instruments are still clear in the mix, the vocals are a brutal kind of Ihsahn-style roar, and the riffs hit like fucking sledgehammers. I love how the saxophone is used even in the incredibly heavy parts; it adds a really interesting texture to this kind of music. The calm sections are really nice and they make the heavy sections feel even more brutal when they reappear.

Honestly, I have zero complaints about this. Everything is on fire here.

Woooo! Glad you liked this. Two of the songs are from 1989’s The Seeds of Love (Woman in Chains and Famous Last Words), but the other two are actually from the 90s. But they’re an 80s band at heart. Those four songs are all sung by Roland Orzebal, although Curt Smith also handles some lead vocals for them (and sounds almost identical, but Roland has a stronger voice). Roland is a really great singer and songwriter who maybe doesn’t get as much recognition as he deserves (unfortunately hasn’t released much music in the last 20+ years though).

The Seeds of Love is a really great album, one of my favorites by anyone. Extremely diverse with super high production values and just really great songs. Definitely one of those albums everyone should have in their collection IMO. They just announced a super deluxe reissue that’s remixed by Steven Wilson. I’m not sure what he can possibly do to improve on the original though.

Nice, I'll take that score. Swans were one of the originators of the "long crescendo" post-rock thing back in the day and they still do it pretty well. Both those albums (Soundtracks for the Blind, and The Seer) are excellent, I'd recommend the second one for getting into them.

Glad to see Tears for Fears getting such a high score, even if I'm not familiar with those particular tracks.

I mean I obviously completely disagree, but his scoring system is based on using the full range of scores so it's more of a relative score. From his description of it, it's more in in range of what I would have given 7-7.5 in my roulettes. Which again I think they're much better than that but, you know, TASTES.

Stadler, your inbox is currently full so I'll just let you know here. The file you sent won't open in my iTunes because I guess it's got Apple's copyright voodooware on it. Betrayed by technology yet again, Information Age MY ASS. I'll look around and see if I can find it elsewhere, otherwise I'll just stick with the other songs.

Can you open it in Audacity and re-export it? Or just listen to it in quicktime or VLC or something?

Hey, it’s not a 4. Don’t say I never did anything for you. :P

Honestly, I just really don’t get this gargly harsh vocal style at all, it always sounds pretty gross to me. The clean vocals Acacia Crown are actually really good though, I wish they utilized that style more often throughout these songs. Musically it’s all right, but I think it tends a bit too much towards a sort of thin, sonically flat aggression that doesn’t do much for me. The beginning of Caveat Lector with the saxophones is pretty cool though. Crestfallen is also the first song I’ve heard that uses the word ‘genuflect’ in the lyrics, which has gotta be worth something.

This is some decent neo-proggy rock with some metal leanings. It’s performed pretty well, as you expecy from prog, but it really takes something exceptional to impress me in the genre these days, and this is just all right. The vocals especially feel pretty uninspired, where they might have elevated the songs if they’d been really good.

It’s definitely not bad, and I don’t mind listening to it, but it’s also not something I ever see myself reaching for of my own accord.

OK, this is some pretty crazy stuff. It’s like if the Diablo Swing Orchestra swallowed a black metal band and did a ton of cocaine. In principle I’m pretty on board with the frenetic craziness of the second-to-second style changes, and there is good stuff around in these songs (the a capella bit in No Guts = No Masters is fantastic), but unfortunately the chipmunk/anime vocal style (that’s the best way I have to describe it) that pops up regularly I actively detest, and the other vocal styles and melodies utilized throughout seem to run from great to lackluster. Most songs here have at least something I really like, but I’m not actually able to enjoy any of them all the way through.

This is some pretty decent black-ish death-ish metal. It’s a nice listen and there’s nothing I dislike here, but there’s also not much that stands out to me. There doesn’t seem to be much variation in either the vocals or the music, which can make the songs feel a bit monotonous. There are a few interlude-y moments with the clean guitars, and those are actually my favorite bits here.

I have a similar sort of impression of this as I did to Wormwood. It’s pretty good, clearly well performed, and there’s nothing about it that I dislike, but I also can’t really seem to connect with it at all. The vocals aren’t exactly my style but they work pretty well, the music can get pretty heavy but still has a lot of variation, but none of the individual parts seem to capture my attention much.

I will say though, since I’ve been down on spoken bits generally, British Bible guy actually adds a pretty nice atmosphere to Anti-Life Saviour.

This is some proggy melodeathy metal that, like a few other submissions this round, is pretty all right but doesn’t really appeal to me much beyond that. There are some nice instrumental pyrotechnics, but that stuff often doesn’t work for me these days, the vocals are serviceable and nice enough but not very engaging, and I don’t find the songwriting to be particularly coherent.

One thing I do really like that pulled the score up a bit is the marching beat/anthemic guitar intro to The Makeshift Conqueror. I just wish they’d developed that a bit more, it feels like it gets sort of left behind until the end of the song when it reappears.

I’m kind of vaguely familiar with a few Type O Negative songs, and apart from Everything Dies which I like a lot, my reaction is usually, this is ok, and that’s kind of still where I’m at. Peter Steele has an amazing voice, no doubt, but I’m generally lukewarm on what he does with it. I’ve always found their distorted guitar sound kind of offputting as well. Everyone I Love is Dead is probably the song I enjoy the most here, the vocal melodies and Peter occasionally using a more standard metally grit makes the song pretty engaging, although the ending section doesn’t do much for me. The other two songs are nice enough, but don’t make much of an impression on me, except Peter’s screams at the end of Anesthesia which I do quite like.

Mixed impressions on this submission. Re Run is definitely technically impressive and has some cool parts, but runs a bit too heavily into aimless noodling territory for me to get much out of it. Clair de Lune on the other hand is just soothing and lovely all the way through. There’s something really sublime about the saxophone and trumpet harmonies. There’s some soloing in this one too, but it’s much more restrained and takes up less real estate in the song which ends up working in its favor, at least for me.

I honestly love all of the music here. The synth-driven beat in the second half of Empire Ants, the echoing, shoegazey clean guitars in Aries, the brilliant use of a siren as part of the beat in El Mañana, there’s always a really full, interesting soundscape going on. Unfortunately though, the vocals are just super super weak. I’m not crazy about most of the melodies, but moreso than that the delivery feels totally flat and uninspired. It’s really a mark of how good I think the music is that this is getting the score it is. Do they have any instrumental albums? I would be all over that.

The vocalist of this group has a really interesting voice. It’s kind of indie-esque, I guess? It tends to a sort of a nasality that works sometimes and doesn’t othertimes; on Warflower I think it works incredibly well, but on Aim For the Sky I’m pretty ambivalent about him, and Beauty and the Beast is somewhere in the middle, which I guess leads to a middle-of-the-road score, even though there’s some stuff here that I really like.

I wasn’t totally sold on the vocalist when I first listened to this, but he’s grown on me a bit since then. I still don’t think his voice is super strong, but in the more upbeat, harmony-laden sections (which is most of the music here) it works really well. The parts where he’s not multitracked (verses of Steady With You, most of When the Highway Ends) I think his weaknesses are more apparent and I don’t enjoy those bits as much. In terms of the music, pretty much all of the songs have a really rich, energetic warmth to them that compliments the vocals.

The two songs from Welcome to the Real World (Is It Love, Kyrie) have a really cool, anthemic 80s pop rock vibe to them. They’ve got that huge 80s echo on the drums and vocals, a nice mix of guitars and synths, a big catchy choruses. Kyrie especially gets stuck in my head.

The other two are sort of similar, but they sound closer and thinner, and even though the vocalist is still doing a great job in terms of delivery, most of the melodies on these two don’t really do much for me. I’d guess this album (Go On) was released in the 90s, it has that kind of sound to it, although I could also be completely wrong about that.

One of the strange rules I’ve imposed on myself in this roulette is that I don’t look up anything about the artists that are submitted, so I’m not sure when this was released, but to me it sounds like somewhere between the late 90s and the mid 2000s, from the guitar and vocal style. There’s a really nice variety in the songs here too, from the straight forward hard rock of Teahouse of the Spirits, to the grungey Bloody Mary, to the ballad-y Outsider, and they’re all done really well. A lot of this comes down to the strength of the vocalist, I think; he’s got a lot of grit in his tone when he needs it and can really belt, but he’s really strong in the softer moments as well. Really, there’s nothing necessarily groundbreaking here, but it’s all executed incredibly well.

(sorry Loop Hole didn’t end up making it into the listing, but you did pretty well anyway :P)

This feels a bit more like traditional power metal - as compared to your submission last round - less orchestration and more chugging guitars and straight forward songs, but that’s fine because I like that too. What’s his name (I actually can’t remember his name) continues to do a great job on vocals, both in terms of delivery and the catchy melodies themselves (both as absurdly dramatic as you expect from quality power metal). Musically, this doesn’t separate itself much from most power metal, you’ve still got your keyboard patches and light-speed guitar solos, but when the songwriting is strong it doesn’t have to, and these are all great, fun, catchy songs.

The narration bits are just silly though. But they don’t detract much the songs for the few seconds they show up.

I’m pretty much only familiar with Rock You Like a Hurricane, and Klaus Meine from the one Avantasia song he was on, but this is about what I expected Scorpions to sound like; riffy hard rock/metal with catchy melodies and great vocals. As has been a trend in the top scorers of this roulette though, you don’t have to be an innovator if you’re really good, and these are just really good songs. The power ballady The Best is Yet to Come is a nice bit of variety as well. I don’t actually have too much to say here, I’m just really enjoying this.

So I wasn’t gonna say it beforehand, but sometimes he sounds kind of like a muppet. The voice is workmanlike but it works with the harmonies for sure. I’m new to this band and there isn’t much info about them online beyond their website which is several albums out of date. But they are a fun listen and I’ve really enjoyed getting into them. Great songwriting and hooks, and I’m glad you liked it.

Do they have any instrumental albums? I would be all over that.

No, but albums like Plastic Beach and especially Humanz have a lot of songs that have guest vocalists handling the majority of if not all of the vocals, so those might pass your vocal suckage filter depending on who the guests are (though I for one quite like Damon's voice and delivery and prefer having mostly him over a ton of guest artists) :P

Ok well at least you liked it alright, but for roulette standards that didn't go too well. Of my 6 submissions, the 3 non-heavy ones have done really well while the 3 heavy ones have got progressively worse with each one. :lol Perhaps foolish but I'm not minded to give up on the heavy just yet, I'll probably try at least one more from the final three rounds.

I'm curious and bored and we've got enough submissions and scores now for some statistical analysis, so I think I'll try and get a look at how heavy/non-heavy submissions are scoring relative to each other and then make a graph or something.

This is going to be the new mid-round entertainment, btw. Charts and graphs. Get pumped.

It's also a Boris/10, if you prefer to look at it that way.

Here's a graph showing the breakdown of submissions that scored 7 or greater based on heavy or non-heaviness.

(https://i.imgur.com/hoI8WxU.png)

This might be misleading, though, since we don't have the exact same number of heavy submissions versus non-heavy ones, so one may be overrepresented here, simply because there were more submissions to possibly get a 7 or higher. So for this next chart, I normalized the heavy/non-heavy submissions based on how many of each were submitted; i.e., this is what it would look like hypothetically if heavy and non heavy things had been submitted in equal numbers.

(https://i.imgur.com/GGEUmAs.png)

And here we can see non-heavy submissions are actually outperforming heavy ones, albeit not by a large margin. I think it would also be interesting to break this down further beyond heavy/non-heavy, because as it is I've just designated almost anything hard rock or heavier as 'heavy,' which may not be the most advantageous way to parse the data. I'm going to try to break it down a bit further by genre and see what that looks like, but it'll probably take a while so don't get too excited yet. :P

All of the above are correct, except Luoto didn't send Falls of Rauros.

Also, I'm always partial to bands named for fantasy novels. Well, actually, I only know Caladan Brood, but I like them, so there's some evidence for a trend.

Sending Anomander Rake next

RESULTS



























sometime today
Title: some of these scores aren't real
Post by: Shadow Ninja 2.0 on September 13, 2020, 05:56:56 PM
ROUND 7 RESULTS


TAC
Falls of Rauros
New Inertia
Memory at Night
-7 points


This is really cool stuff. The calmer instrumental bits in particular I find to be sublime. The songs move through different styles pretty seamlessly, from the calm to pretty heavy, although they never go into a full-on black metal bludgeon and the instrumentation stays really melodic throughout which I really like. I do think they should have titled the balance a bit more towards the soft sections, as the heavier ones can get a little monotonous. Also, weird complaint, there are some sections in New Inertia where the bass is just way to fucking loud. It’s strange. It happens a bit in Memory at Night as well, but it’s not as noticeable. I would have given this 7 points, btw, if not for the dark alliance with the Walrus.


The Walrus
Ages
Burn Them
Illicit State
Spawn of the Tyrants
0 points


Yeah, I like this pretty well. It’s got a lot of the elements I like about black metal, but leaves out some of the ones that bug me, particularly the production. It’s still got a wall-of-sound-y guitar and drum assault, but the instruments still come through clearly, and the vocals are distinct. I think the songs could probably be a bit stronger; they’re good fun, but it does feel like they’re missing something to really push them over the edge, apart from the main riff and vocal line of Illicit State, which is really strong. I would have given this 7 points, btw.


HOF
King’s X
Summerland
I Can’t Help It
Pretend
Charlie Sheen
Life Going By
4 points


I’ve been aware of King’s X, but not really familiar with them beyond Dream Theater’s Lines in the Sand (which I didn’t really dig). Musically it’s pretty nice, sitting somewhere close to grunge without ever going into it and there’s a pretty nice tonal variety in the songs, but nothing is really compelling to me on its own, and vocally it’s just not really working for me at all. The more soulful style used on Summerland and Pretend  is interesting as an idea, but the way it’s used isn’t really working for me, and the more harmony-driven approach on the other songs feels a bit repetitive and the melodies aren’t very strong.


Stadler
Mother Love Bone
Stardog Champion
Bone China
Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns
5 points


I can definitely see a lot of the foundational elements of grunge here. The downtempo, kind of sparse and subdued instrumentation, which I generally dig, and it works pretty well here. I’m struggling with the vocals, though. There are definitely moments where they work, but most of the time that sort of overly nasal style is just offputting to me, and it sort of holds me back from getting much out of the music.


Buddyhunter1
Obscure Sphinx
The Presence of Goddess
5 points


To be honest, nothing much about this is grabbing me. Nothing about it is bad, there are some nice riffs and ideas, but melodically I’m not really finding a lot to hold on to. It’s not a bad listen, but not much about it sticks with me afterwards.


Cyril
Exist
Writhe
If or When
5 points


This feels math-y and death metal-ish. Deathmath? Mathdeath? I guess they just call that tech death. This kind of really technical stuff can be hit or miss for me; here, I like the vocal sections pretty well. I don’t think the clean vocals are that good, but the harshes are quite good and they seem to show up more. They really lose me in the noodlement sections, though. They don’t really seem connected to the rest of the songs and I don’t think they’re all that interesting just on their own merits.


Elite
Ben Folds Five
One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces
Philosophy
Song for the Dumped
The Last Polka
5 points


My impression of Ben Folds in the past has always been that he’s a very talented musician who has no business being a singer, and that’s kind of what I’m getting from this. Musically I really like most of this; there’s a nice bit of a variety in the songs and I think having the piano as the lead instrument is really cool, but man, his voice is just not good. There’s no power in it and I don’t think he’s got an interesting enough timbre to overcome it.


Puppies_On_Acid
Moonsorrow
Jotunheim
7 points


Yeah, this is fairly epic. It’s mostly fairly heavy, but the music still feels pretty melodic, and there’s a lot of variation throughout the song, from acoustic bits to a capella and it all feels like it naturally flows together. The vocals aren’t exactly my style (the harsh ones, I mean), but they work pretty well in this context and I’m generally enjoying them. I would have given this 8 points or so, but this is really a 16 minute song with like 3 minutes of bird noise at the end. Now it’s fair to observe that most songs these days don’t have enough bird noise in them, but this feels excessive.


Tomislav95
Elliott Smith
Ballad of Big Nothing
Baby Britain
Angeles
Sweet Adeleine
Waltz #2 (XO)
7 points


I wasn’t really into this at all on my first listen, but it’s really grown on me a lot since then. His voice isn’t particularly strong, but it works perfectly with the songs and the melodies suit his quiet, subdued delivery. I’m not crazy about everything here; the melodies on Sweet Adeleine don’t do much for me and the chorus feels a bit too bombastic, but I’m really enjoying most of it. Waltz #2 is probably my favorite of the five songs.


Sacul
Beth Gibbons and Rustin Man
Mysteries
Tom the Model
Spider Monkey
Funny Time of Year
7 points


This one is sort of similar to Elliott Smith, both in terms of general style and also my initial reaction and subsequent warming to it. There’s a lot of variety here, from the quiet, 50s-esque style of Mysteries to the understated ominosity (I thought I just made this word up but it turns out it’s real) of Spider Monkey. A lot of the melodies are pretty subtle and it took me a while to get my head around the vocals, but now they’re really working for me. Funny Time of Year is bit weaker than the other three songs I think, but it still has some nice moments.


wolfking
W.A.S.P.
Arena of Pleasure
The Heretic
My Wicked Heart
7 points


For whatever reason, I assumed this group was more of hair metal band, but it turns out they’re just a metal band, which was a nice surprise. The production on these songs make everything sound huge, which adds a really great touch to the overall atmosphere they’re making. The vocalist has a great, snarly metal grit in his voice that really makes the songs for me; although the instrumentation is appropriately heavy and well performed.


Luoto
Swallow The Sun
When a Shadow is Forced into the Light
Stone Wings
Here on the Black Earth
8 points


This is some pretty nice melodic death-ish metal. I think the thing that stands out to me the most is the variety of vocal styles, from deep cleans to Agalloch-esque growls or more traditional death metal roars, and they’re all done really well. There’s a great brooding atmosphere in all of the songs here, which makes the heavy moments a lot more impactful when they come up. My only real complaint is I think When a Shadow is Forced into the Light takes a bit too long to really get going.


Evermind
David Gilmour
Red Sky at Night
On An Island
Faces of Stone
8 points


There’s really no good reason why I haven’t ever listened to Gilmour’s solo stuff. I’m not crazy about Pink Floyd outside of The Wall, but I like his voice and obviously he’s a fantastic guitarist. Red Sky at Night is a really nice instrumental, and I’m a fan of saxophone in just about any context. The other two songs are about what I would expect from Gilmour, kind of spacey, atmospheric rock with pervasive but never overbearing guitar presence. Faces of Stone also brings in the sort of quirky instrumentation reminiscent of the more theatrical parts of The Wall, which is something I tend to be a big fan of.


ariich
Petter Carlsen
Spirits In Need
One of Those Days
A Simple Reminder
Cornerstone
Home
9 points


OK, this is exactly my kind of music. He’s got a beautiful voice and a really smooth delivery that feels effortless. There’s a good bit of focus on acoustic guitar like a lot of indie music, but there’s a lot of electric guitar and piano as well that adds a lot of variety and texture to the songs. Spirits in Need builds to a really great climax, and Cornerstone is a great instrumental that builds from a fantastic distorting guitar line. Spirits in Need is also my favorite song here, although they’re all pretty strong.


romdrums
Toto
Rosanna
I’ll Supply The Love
Fahrenheit
Stop Loving You
30 points


This is just really great pop rock. Great vocals, great catchy melodies, a lot of variety in instrumentation and tone, just nice all around. Rosanna is fantastic, I’ll Supply the Love is a ton of fun although it maybe gets a bit too repetitive near the end, Stop Loving You has a really nice ballad-y chorus but kind of funky, upbeat verses. Fahrenheit has a pretty cool instrumental approach, although I don’t think the melodies there are as strong as in the other three songs. I would have given this 9 points, by the way, but The Walrus felt strongly it deserved more, and he pulled TAC into his vortex of degeneracy as well.

Morningstar and Shock Me are the other two Baroness songs

bold to only send songs off one album, especially when it's one of the ones with garbo production

Will's Song (Let the Colours Run) and All is Quiet By the Wall for the Caligula's Horse songs.

well. two out of those three are excellent at least

I think I see Athiest too. and (The Reign of) Kindo

The production's not good but it doesn't ruin the album for me. Gold And Grey is another story though. Hoping we get a remaster for that sometime in the future but I know it's pretty unlikely

uuuggh just watch shadow give that band high marks after dunking on a novelist, gonna be t h r i l l e d (i do not like imperial triumphant)
I'm sure it will tank. I've had a hell of a time pinning down what Shadowninja likes, so I've just been throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks.  :corn

Although I love Imperial Triumphant, so...... :dunno:

@TAC why the everloving frick would i sent palehorse. i'd just send amendfoil instead
So I hadn't realised this had happened to them, but what exactly is the point of this debut Palehorse album? Every single song is a only-very-slightly reworked version of a song from the last Amendfoil album, with slightly thinner production, in a different order.

Also Palehorse is a much more generic name than Amendfoil so now searching for them brings up loads of other stuff, including bands that have had that name a lot longer.

The original Amendfoil album is no longer available legally, and sending files is inconvenient for SN so I just went with these. He's aware of the better original mixes in case he likes the music.

I dunno about "so much" better, the sound here is fine, but yeah I do prefer the deeper, fuller sound of the Amendfoil album, plus it has an extra song at the end that's slower and moodier and gives the album a nice balance. Such a weird decision.

From a record label perspective it makes sense to remove that song, since it's the only one that doesn't sound like the others. Although I agree it's probably the best song on the album.

OK holy shit everyone, sorry for being an asshole and taking so long with these results. I usually wrote up results on Saturday afternoon, and it turns out trying to summon that same motivation after getting off work for the day is super fucking difficult. ANYWAY I have triumphed.

I don’t really get this at all. I guess it’s kind of doomy, in terms of the vocals? They’re echo-y and generally buried amidst the wall of noise the instruments create, which can work in some instances, but here it just kind of seems like noise. That’s my overall impression of the songs here; it’s just a bunch of stuff stacked on top of each other until it becomes overwhelming, and I don’t find any of the individual bits to be particularly engaging on their own merits, except for the occasional brass sections which I do really like.


HOF

So stylistically I actually like this kind of bluesy southern rock, it’s got a fun sort of swagger to it. Unfortunately, the vocalist is just really not working for me at all. His voice doesn’t seem strong enough to carry the songs, especially on Kalypso. I’m not sure if it’s the same singer on These Sudden Stars, but if it is, there the combination of him with the female singer actually works really well, and a lot of the harmonies in the chorus are absolutely lovely.

I’ve tried listening to CH a few times since I’ve seen them mentioned a fair bit here and over on the r/progmetal subreddit, and my reaction has generally been the same; pretty competent prog metal that doesn’t really grab me in any way. That’s pretty much what I’m getting from this, too. There are some nice moments here and there, but none of the songs are really that engaging to me.


TAC
The Absolution Sequence
Destitute
In Atrophy
Silent King
Splintered Soul
5 points


This is some alright tech deathy stuff. It’s enjoyably heavy and the harsh vocals in particular are really nice, but I don’t really get much of a sense of cohesion from any of the songs. They’re nice enough to listen to, but not much stands out or sticks with me after I’m done listening.


The Walrus
Aquaria
Expedition
Skies of Amazonia
Your Majesty Gaia
5 points


This has got all of the over-the-top elements you expect in power metal, but they don’t seem to work as well as your other power metal submissions. Both the synth driven instrumental sections and the choir-esque vocals feel a bit obligatory but not particularly engaging. The vocalist is quite good, but apart from the chorus of Expedition, most of the melodies don’t do too much for me. None of it is bad, but not much of it sticks with me either.


Cyril
Poly-math
1258 | In the Sights of Mesopotamia
Alchemy | Terra Incognito
5 points


I tend to struggle with instrumental music in general, and instrumental prog in particular is something that usually doesn’t do much for me. It’s definitely well performed and there are several really cool rhythmic ideas throughout the two songs, but overall the music doesn’t make much of an impression on me beyond that.


Stadler
Cheap Trick
Way of the World
The Summer Looks Good on You
Won’t Take No For an Answer
Voices
Takin’ Me Back
6 points


This is a case where the score probably doesn’t do a very good job of indicating how I felt about the songs. The first two I really love; Way of the World has a great driving pace and The Summer Looks Good on You has a slightly slower, arena-rock feel to it, and both have really great vocals and melodies. The other three branch out a little bit in terms of style (the Moody Blues/Pink Floyd sound of Voices, for instance), but the melodies aren’t as strong, and all of them tend to get a bit repetitive, especially Takin’ Me Back. So the score evens out to be kind of middle-of-the-road even though some stuff here I really like.

This reminds me a lot of Death, which I suppose isn’t surprising since I think they were concurrent in the death metal scene. And like Death (what I’ve heard from Death, at least, mostly from Human), it’s very enjoyable death metal with a lot of techiness to it; the bass in particular is a standout for me. The early death metal vocal style I still find a bit odd, but it works pretty well here. Nothing much resonates with me beyond being pretty good, though, it’s missing something to make it something really memorable for me.


Luoto
Palehørse
Dead Wrong
Pale Horse
Darken Waters
Quicksand
6 points


This band is an interesting mix of some more straight-forward metal/hard rock with a number of extreme metal elements. The vocalist is the real attraction here; he’s got a really powerful mid-range yell, but he handles the screams really well too. I think the band is at their best when he’s really belting out choruses, like in Dead Wrong or Darken Waters. Dead Wrong is also where I think they use all the disparate elements of their sound to the best effect, and they tend to lose me a bit in some parts of the other songs, although the vocalist is always impressive regardless.

So I’ve never listened to any kind of kpop before and I have no idea if this is representative of the genre, but it’s way more varied than I was expecting. It’s definitely poppy, but there’s these funky rap sections too, there’s some surprisingly heavy guitar riffs, there’s a lot of electronic elements, and they manage to pull all these together into short, coherent songs. I’m not sure if there’s only one vocalist here, but if so, she’s doing an amazing job handling all the different styles. Not everything works for me; I don’t really get Red Sun at all, but the majority is really impressing me.


Sacul
Markéta Irglová
Go Back
Fortune Teller
Time Immemorial
Without a Map
8 points


This is the kind of sacul music I can really get into. I tend to love bands or artists that incorporate a substantial brass presence like in Go Back. The other songs stick mainly to vocals and piano, but there are still strings and other instruments appearing occasionally, and the song structures are still interesting unexpected. The vocals are similarly varied; although she sticks to her light delivery, the inclusion of choir-esque sections and the Björky vocal noodling in Fortune Teller keeps the songs engaging throughout.


Tomislav95
Villagers of Ioannina City
Age of Aquarius
Cosmic Soul
8 points


This is a really interesting sound; it’s got a Mastodon-esque sludge sound in the vocals and some of the guitar tone, but it’s quite a bit more restrained and lighter, and there’s a vague sense of folk to it as well (the flute section in Age of Aquarius). Musically it’s mostly pretty straightforward, but it changes up enough to stay interesting through the long runtimes and provides a great backdrop for the vocalist, and when solely instrumental sections come up they stay engaging without seeming out of place or just opportunities for solos.


Buddyhunter1
Baroness
Morningstar
Shock Me
Chlorine and Wine
8 points


I’ve heard a bit of Baroness here and there and generally liked what I heard, but never went much farther with them. Musically I think the closest comparison is Mastodon (I’ve compared two submissions to Mastodon this round now), although vocally they mostly stay with a stoner rock type style reminiscent of The Sword albeit heavier, and I think it works really well. There are a lot of heavy riffs here, but they pull off some really uplifting moments as well, like the chorus of Shock Me, and the slow instrumental, post-rocky buildup of Chlorine and Wine is fantastic. I can definitely understand the complaints about the production, but it’s not my favorite, I don’t think it detracts too much from the music.

These guys have a really interesting sound, it’s a sort of popish indie with a jazzy tilt (or at least from the perspective of someone who doesn’t listen to much jazz). Instrumentally the piano and the guitar stand out to me the most; they seem to work as co-lead instruments most of the time which is a very cool approach. The vocalist has a really warm tone that reminds me a lot of Casey from The Dear Hunter, and he does a great job on all of these songs.

You’re down a little bit from your 30 points last time, but this isn’t too bad. This is just really great music, from the rock of The Miracle in You, No Power Great Enough, and Fireflies, to the new agey Still In Motion to the electronic Dark Days, everything is incredibly tight and held together by consistently the consistently excellent vocal performance. I’m actually surprised I’ve never heard these guys before, this is really just my kind of music.

Big choruses have a lot to do with why I chose those songs, though I hoped the overall groove would get more points.

I also sent for the final round, and these results partly inspired the band decision.

Post by: Shadow Ninja 2.0 on September 28, 2020, 02:33:41 PM
OK all impressions are now revealed, and results should be coming sometime tonight, in local shadow ninja time.

Also a note on scoring: since I've decided to eschew decimals and since it's basically unheard of for someone to send me a song I actively dislike, I'm going to be using the scoring scale more liberally. So some of these scores may appear pretty vicious on first glance, but they're really not. For instance, a 5 in most other roulettes would be brutal, but here a 5 is just something I like aspects of but am not crazy about the whole thing.

ALL THAT TO SAY don't worry if your submission gets a low score, because there's much less difference between a 6 and 9 than you might think and it should be easy to recover (or do the opposite of recover).
I've done that sort of thing before (trying to make scoring more relative rather than absolute) but I distinctly made the scores out of a number other than 10, because I find it impossible to score things out of 10 differently to how I'd simply rate how much I like them in absolute terms.

Yeah, I can see what you mean. I'm hoping that after the first round it'll be pretty easy because I'll have established a baseline for what each number means.

my "out of 5" scoring system is an attempt to ensure the whole range of "thing i dislike" is scored equally because 95% of the time i don't use scores below 5/10 anyways and it essentially means a 0/10 and 4.75/10 are equal

i think it's kind of bent a little bit to the point where i feel like i've started giving like, 4.5ish/10's a score of 1 instead of 0 and some 6.75ish songs a 3 instead of a 2 (or well the reverse-scoring equivalent in my current roulette) but i've mostly kept it consistent i feel?

Yeah, that's sort of what I was thinking. It didn't make sense to have a scale that I never even touch the bottom half of. There are hardly any songs I've ever heard that I would rate as 1 in absolute terms, honestly. Maybe that song that was getting played back when I still listened to the radio that just said 'like a g6' over and over for three minutes? That was pretty bad. Or something with Gwen Stefani. Note to participants, don't send Gwen Stefani.

That said if Buddy and Sacul really want to go the shitpost route, I will breach the number line and start using negative values.

FINAL RESULTS

TAC
Alizarin
Elegy Simulacra
A Wreath of Temperance
4 points


This is some fairly competent prog metal. Musically they lean away from being particularly technical, but they don’t seem to replace it with many interesting ideas or catchy sections, and they fall into the trap a lot of modern prog metal bands do of writing fairly flat vocal lines. The vocalist is… fine, but not really memorable in any way. It’s not bad overall, but it doesn’t seem to offer anything that other bands in genre aren’t already doing better.


The Walrus
Cellador
Leaving All Behind
Never Again
Honor Forth
Good Enough
This Means War
4 points


I’m just really not feeling this at all. First off, I assume the first two songs are from a debut album, because the production on those is complete dogshit. Everything kind of mushes together. The production on the other songs is much better, but the songs themselves still feel a bit uninspired. There’s some typical power metal guitar and drum work, but the vocals are pretty thin most of the time, and none of the chorus melodies really work that well which is generally the lynchpin for this kind of music.


Puppies_On_Acid
Ulcerate
Withered and Obsolete
Cold Becoming
There Is No Horizon
4 points


I’ll be honest, I don’t really get this at all. It’s not bad and I don’t mind listening to it, but I can’t manage to get anything out of it either. The songs feel kind of directionless for the most part; there’s just bludgeoning drums and guitars and guttural vocals for a while and then the song ends. I do think the build up at the beginning of There is No Horizon is pretty cool, though.


wolfking
Crypt Sermon
Christ is Dead
Snake Handler
4 points


I’m not super into thrash metal in general, but I enjoy some here and there. Musically this is all right when they’re riffing or soloing, but much of the time seems to be spent on these sort of plodding sections, where the vocals are front and center, and unfortunately I think the vocals are just really poor overall; the singer’s voice isn’t very strong and there doesn’t seem to be much of a melodic sense to the lines. There is some nice guitar work in the solo sections that I enjoy, but as a whole the songs don’t do much for me.


Cyril
The Hirsch Effekt
Agitation
Cotard
5 points


I think I listened to one of these guys’ albums back when we were doing the album of the week thread, and my impression was more or less that it was fairly good prog metal. That’s pretty much the same way I’m feeling about these songs here; fairly good, but nothing exceptional. It’s the problem I have with most prog metal these days, although having the vocals in German is pretty neat. And there are definitely some really nice moments here and there, but as full songs they’re not really moving me.


Buddyhunter1
Poppy
I Disagree
BLOODMONEY
Anything Like Me
Fill the Crown
Don’t Go Outside
6 points


Offhand, I think you’ve probably sent me the weirdest submissions in this roulette, and you seem to be continuing the trend here. The sound is a mix of heavy guitars and industrial sounds with vocals that mainly alternate between light and melodic and a sort of rhythmic yelling, although there are some other styles in here as well. There’s a lot that’s interesting here, and a lot to like, but there’s also a fair bit that doesn’t really work for me at all, which results in a sort of middling score.


Tomislav95
The Pineapple Thief
In Exile
The Final Thing on My Mind
Bond
6 points


I’ve heard of this band here and there, mainly because they are (or were, I guess) on the same label as Porcupine Tree. I can see the stylistic similarities, probably derived from the common ancestor of Pink Floyd? They create a great atmosphere and sonically it’s really good, although I don’t think the songs themselves stand out much beyond being fairly good. The best part here is the finale of The Final Thing on My Mind, but it feels like they take way too long to get there.


Stadler
Night Ranger
Interstate Love Affair
Walk in the Future
When You Close Your Eyes
Penny
Sing Me Away
6 points


This is pretty fun, ballad-y rock music. It’s very smooth, both in terms of the music and the vocals, although this kind of work both for it and against it, as I think a bit more of an edge would be beneficial at points. Penny actually does, and as a result it ends up being my favorite song of the bunch. None of the others are bad, but I think most of them tend to get a bit repetitive near the second half which pulls the score down some.


romdrums
Peter Gabriel
Red Rain
Intruder
I Have the Touch
Kiss That Frog
7 points


This is a (mostly) nice set of songs. Red Rain and I Have the Touch have a 80s sort of pop/rock sound to them, and Kiss That Frog goes for more a funky feel which is a lot of fun. Intruder is the most ‘out there’ and experimental, and while I appreciate the effort, in this case the song just doesn’t really do much for me. On the other songs, though, Gabriel’s vocals are consistently excellent and the instrumentation is very nicely varied and unconventional.


Luoto
Dvne
Thirst
Scion
7 points


I’m pretty into the harsh vocals here, although I think they could have used a bit more variation. He uses the same guttural roar most of the time, but it works well, and I think the rest of the music stays fluid enough to counterbalance any sense of monotony. The slower, chiming-guitar sections are really nice, but even when the songs are staying heavy, the riffs evolve and change enough to stay engaging. I do think the clean vocals on Scion are a bit of miss though; they don’t seem very strong and I don’t know that the song would lose anything if they weren’t there.


Sacul
Glen Hansard
Bird of Sorrow
Philander
Don’t Settle
I’ll Be You, Be Me
7 points


I’ve seen this guy get sent in a lot of roulettes over the years, but I don’t think I’ve ever listened to any of his stuff. It’s an indie sound with a bit of a folk/singer/songwriter feel to it, where the main emphasis is on the vocalist. He’s got a nice, distinctive voice that goes from the low, half-spoken parts to the belting sections really well, and I think the two songs that make the most use of that contrast (Bird of Sorrow and Don’t Settle) are the best ones here. The other two are nice, but don’t really have enough variation to stay engaging.


ariich
Bear Ghost
Sickness for Nothing
She-Wrecks
Paradise
Funkle Phil
Prelude
8 points


This is a really creative sound, both in terms of music and vocals. They’ve got electronic bits, heavy bits, funky bits, and a really great, versatile vocal performance. I’ve always been a fan of that vaudevillian, Dear Hunter-esque dramatic vocal style, and this guy does it really well on these songs, as well as mixing in other styles like on Funkle Phil and Sickness for Nothing. Not everything they try works for me, but a lot of it does, and the more I’ve listened to these songs the more they’ve grown on me.


Elite
Talking Heads
Slippery People
Swamp
Once in a Lifetime
Crosseyed and Painless
8 points


OK, I guess I’ve actually heard the chorus of Once in a Lifetime before, but I didn’t remember until I heard it, so I figure it’s fine. Anyway, this is really cool, funky stuff. The vocal approach is pretty atypical and I could see it being a detriment, but I’m pretty into it for the most part, and they balance the partially-spoken parts with more melodic sections. The bass is a real standout here as well that always keeps the songs moving.


HOF
Prefab Sprout
Goodbye Lucille #2
Appetite
When Love Breaks Down
Bonny
Ineffable
8 points


These guys have a really interesting sound. There’s a very 80s-pop feeling to the instruments and production on Lucille and Appetite, but the song construction and vocal style feels new wave-y to me. The two acoustic songs are naturally a bit more stripped back but still feel pretty unconventional in the way the instruments interact, and the singer’s style is pretty different but still works quite well.  and then Ineffable is a totally different, orchestral kind of piece. I’m not totally sure how well it works with the other songs, but on its own it’s a nice bit of music.


Evermind
Mark Knopfler
Redbud Tree
The Scaffolder’s Wife
Dream of the Drowned Submariner
Wherever I Go
9 points


I’m vaguely familiar with Knopfler via Dire Straits, and have always really enjoyed his guitar work, and unsurprisingly it’s excellent here as well. He’s got a very distinct style that’s really expressive and avoids being showy at all. That said, the songs here are mainly focused around the vocals, and while I’ve just been lukewarm on that aspect of Dire Straits, his voice here has a great full sound to it that suits the songs really well. I’m not sure if he was the singer in Dire Straits, but if so, I definitely prefer him here. The second vocalist on the last song is great as well, and her voice and his complement each other quite well.

Wow those chorus melodies are actually really strong with very powerful cadences. And thin vocals? I don't get that at all, but ight

Yeah, crap on the production all you want but those vocals aren't thin.

HOF
Prefab Sprout
Goodbye Lucille #2
Appetite
When Love Breaks Down
Bonny
Ineffable
8 points


These guys have a really interesting sound. There’s a very 80s-pop feeling to the instruments and production on Lucille and Appetite, but the song construction and vocal style feels new wave-y to me. The two acoustic songs are naturally a bit more stripped back but still feel pretty unconventional in the way the instruments interact, and the singer’s style is pretty different but still works quite well.  and then Ineffable is a totally different, orchestral kind of piece. I’m not totally sure how well it works with the other songs, but on its own it’s a nice bit of music.

Congratulations Rich!!!! :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:


And thank you to everyone for participating! I have greatly enjoyed having each of you in my roulette, and you've given me a lot of music to ponder for the next few years until I do another one of these.

Hey, I’m glad you liked this! Prefab Sprout are another band that Steve Hogarth has touted in the past as an influence. Particularly the album Steve McQueen, which is what all of these are taken from (except the last instrumental track). I’ve been aware of them for years but only really checked them out this past year. They are pretty much in that same vein of 80s new wave/power pop as XTC and Tears for Fears but with a fairly unique twist.

Truthfully Steve McQueen (it was released under the name Two Wheels Good in the US due to legal reasons) is the one album of theirs that has really grabbed me, but it is phenomenal. The two acoustic tracks are from an all acoustic version of the album that was released in 2007 I think. Definitely worth checking out both the original Steve McQueen album from the 80s and the acoustic version if you can find it.

In the end, I probably shouldn’t have sent some of the stuff I had a feeling you might not like in favor of more 80s pop/new wave stuff! But thanks for hosting this and having me!

Also, congratulations Rich!

Damn, just barely missed out on the top 5 :-\ I'll gladly accept the superlative for weirdest submissions though! :metal

This was a fun roulette - hope I sent some stuff you go on to explore further!

Yay! :D

Glad I stuck with the non-heavy stuff, we seem to have quite a lot of well-aligned tastes there and less for so heavy music, or perhaps to some extent it's that a lot of the heavy stuff we'll both like we both know already. Either way, I'm glad the path I took paid out, and really happy that you liked every non-heavy submission of mine so much! Every round I only sent songs from a single album so hopefully a decent number of those albums will be up your alley.

Thanks again for having me, it was a blast!

Thanks for having me! Was pretty cool to try different things and see what stuck and what not.
