Hi folks, welcome to my new roulette! It's been a handful of years since the last iteration, and I promise this one will be quite a bit more pleasant :lol . Similar to current roulettes, there will be a small twist to this one: no prog. I just can't really get anything more out of it, even from bands that I used to love, I can't connect with their new stuff most of the time. And there's a huge world of beautiful music outside it so I don't really have any interest in the genre these days.
Format- 4 regular rounds, 1 final EP round
- Each submission is a set of songs from a given artist, no more than 20 mins total. That's a hard limit. No maximum nor minimum amount of songs per artist.
- You can include from a side project if it's basically another moniker for the same band/artist, but those will be banned for future entries as well.
- Scores will be given in a scale of 1 to 5, with half values. So only 4 and 4.5 but no 4.3 nonsense :P .
Rules- No prog is allowed, neither in rock nor metal form.
- Any banned artist cannot be sent.
- Any artist whose submission gets rated 4 out of 5 or more, is banned.
- I prefer spotify but youtube playlists are fine too. Send me files as a last resort.
- No eliminations except for the EP round, in which the everybody will compete against each other from bottom to #1. More info on the third post.

Tastes
This is usually the most confusing part of my roulettes so I'll split it in two:
What I dislike
Power Metal, Black Metal, Death Metal, Grindcore, and whatever The Apologist is, just don't do it for me at all. I just can't connect with any of these genres for some reason, and I've tried quite a lot. Most Prog Metal I just find uninteresting outside of some artists I'm fond of, yet people insist on sending me stuff anyway, which usually results in meh scores. I'm also not fond of Dad Rock although there are some fine exceptions, so be very careful with this. For reference, some bands that I don't like at all:
Death
Opeth (except Damnation <3)
Angra
Pearl Jam
Weezer
Leprous
What I like
These days my tastes are all over the place but I'm really enjoying Electronic Music, Synthpop, Industrial, Art Pop, Drone / Dark Ambient, Alternative Metal, even some Gothic, Drone, and Doom Metal. I've been getting into Hip Hop and some Jazz lately. Metalcore and Hardcore Punk are stuff I want to get into more, just beware it doesn't get too chaotic like TDEP most of the time. Post-Rock I love although I'm quite picky as most of it is a bland copy of Explosions In The Sky, which I'm not very fond of. For reference, some of my all-time favorites:
Converge
Anathema
Steven Wilson (anything)
Deftones
Nine Inch Nails
Nils Frahm
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Massive Attack
Portishead
Have a Nice Life
Burial
Devin Townsend
Ulver
Riverside

Banned list
It'd be way too long, I've got more than 1.3k records listed on my Rateyourmusic profile, so just look there to see what's banned and what I've been listening to lately. If you're unsure if a certain song / artists is allowed (e.g. haven't rated it on RYM or was sent in a previous roulette), send me a PM with all the submissions you'd be interested in using and I'll tell you if they're safe to send.

EP Round Rules
- Hard time limit: 35 mins (34:59)
- At least 2 different artists
- At least 2 songs
- Everybody can send an EP, it will be a fierce competition from the bottom up: the last player's EP will compete against the second to last player's EP, the winner competes against the following player up in the leaderboards, etc. In case of a tie, a quick tiebreaker will happen, in which each player involved will send only one song.
- Score will be out of 20 plus flow and your current roulette score. Flow will count up to 5 points.
- If in doubt if any of your artists are banned, send me a PM.
- You can PM me a single mp3 file with a tracklist with edited transitions if you fancy.
-
In. I have absolutely no strategy for this, but I want to play.

Btw, did you listen to my EP for Rich's roulette? If by some miracle I make it to the final round, I'm definitely going to try and recycle that one.

Sacul, you've been nice enough to play in mine. If you'll have me, I'll play.

Nope, and I'm only familiar with Kishi Bashi so you may have to find a replacement for those :P
Sacul, you've been nice enough to play in mine. If you'll have me, I'll play.
Sure!

When are we getting the EP round rules?
Probably during the weekend, but don't worry, they'll be pretty simple as usual. Likely a hard limit on 30 ~ 35 mins and a minimum set of artists and time.
Also is that a 20:00 limit or a 20:59 limit? :lol
The former :P

I'll take that as you're playing then :2metal:

I'll join. Looking forward to sending some things I don't normally send! :coolio
-
You're in!

All right, this may be something I could be interested in, but I never participated in a roulette before so I want to make sure I get the submissions right. We can just PM you a link to a song that can be opened from Spotify correct?

Yup, good luck! :) :corn

Generally you have to do the ritual and the blood pact first, but I dunno Sacul might let you off easy if this is your first roulette.
-
All right, I'm in. These rounds aren't themed correct? They just need to be a list of songs from an artist/band and the list cannot go over 20 minutes and have nothing to do with prog? I think I can work with that.
-

It's his first time, the ritual is always for the second roulette to reaffirm your commitment.

I mean, for a newcomer to roulettes, this is the usual initiation step.

Don't go as a virgin to an old fogey's roulette. We ask for so much more.

Can lurkers join? I’ve got shitty music you’ve probably never heard somewhere in my collection. :biggrin:

Fresh blood :metal

Ah a new victim, please join :metal
Also anybody who's signed up can start sending now.

Ah what the hell, I wasn't sure I'd have time to get things sorted for both this and Adam's roulettes before going on holiday, but I'll get it done for round 1 before I go. I'm in!
EDIT: And sent!
-
Sent

Also sent!

All right, sent. I hope I formatted it right.

Sent. You may have heard of these guys. Lemme know if they’re banned, but I didn’t see them in your lists.

I'm a little sad there are going to be eliminations for the EP round. Those are typically the most fun to participate in. :sadpanda:

Huh, haven't received anything yet. Did you send them to me? :P

I'm thinking of a little variation to eliminations for that round, likely Indi's brutal elimination thing, from the bottom to the top player. In case of a tie, I'd go with a single song tiebreaker. Whatcha think?
-

Probably not. Looking into it :lol
EDIT: Sent an email, apparently. I’ll send a message in a bit.
-
Just saw your message, happy to join if I'm not too late to the party!
-
You're always welcome :metal
Tomorrow's the last day for signups, and I already have some submissions. No rush, I'd just prefer to have them all by Wednesday :corn
I'll begin listening of what I've got... :soon:
-
Alright you've persuaded me, I'll take a crack at this. :tup
EDIT: Wait wait wait, you don't like death metal OR black metal?? Maybe I can potentially find something to change that, hahaha.
-
You're more than welcome to try although you might end up disappointed :lol
-
i forgot to think about this at all for the entire weekend but i'll throw some crap together and send all four rounds at once
-
Okay I submitted in an overdramatic fashion
Having a lot of fun sending submissions in a non-conventional way tbh
I was half-tempted to add two more to the list and let you pick 4 of the 6 but I was too lazy to make two more playlists so w/e might save that for my EP if i need to make one
-
In if you'll have me.
-
Of course.

No rush

Sent over Facebook. I was thinking of sending you Indie Rock but saw you rated Car Seat Headrest a 2.5, so you're not getting any of that :lol

Once I get everything. Just missing on Elite and Heretic - don't worry guys, you've got until tomorrow to send, we're on track.
I've given almost everything a listen already, lots of variety on this round and some surprises for me. Hopefully we'll have first impressions and hangmanen soon :2metal:

Gotcha, just missing on Heretic. If I don't get his entry by tonight, I'll start hangman and add it when he sends it :P
-
We get Saculed even when Sacul is running the roulette? Come one!

On the brighter side, I've given everything so far at least 2 listens. I aim for 4 in total, which should be enough for almost 4 hours of music :lol. So hangmanen and impressions will come :soon:
-
You'll be pleased to know I updated the Sacul Dump Playlist.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooorry, been super busy with teaching stuff this week. Sent! Also working on getting all my writeups finished, haha.

All correct guesses. I'll update soon.
-
Well, someone sent Arcane Roots.
Come on, that is borderline prog
-
yeah it definitely is but tbh one of the artists i sent also could be considered borderline prog? i would argue that they're not and any progressive elements are a side-effect of the genre they're actually part of but it's definitely not "normal prog rock/metal" prog anyways
i allowed a lot of stuff that was "technically not metal" in my metal-only roulette though, so :lol
-
Arcane Roots is experimental definitely, but there's no way it's "prog rock" in terms of genre. I'm pretty sure Lucas isn't saying not to even send anything experimental.
-
they definitely take elements from prog metal but they're fringe
-
I sent Polyphia first and that got rejected. I'd say they're more experimental as well, although they do take elements from prog, but they're definitely not that in the traditional sense.
-
Polyphia is 100% math rock, I wouldn't call them prog either.
-
Polyphia sounded like Tesseract without the djent and it's tagged as progressive rock everywhere :P.
Arcane Roots is definitely alternative rock with some electronics from the tracks ariich sent, with maybe some fringe prog things? But that's about what I'd allow, borderline things at most.
Arcane Roots is experimental definitely, but there's no way it's "prog rock" in terms of genre. I'm pretty sure Lucas isn't saying not to even send anything experimental.
I am a big fan of the word experimental and anything tagged as such.

Well, Stadler already went with Harry Styles, so TAC in this position would be the logical answer.

Yes. I'll update soon.

Looking at this song list, the one song of my list that you guys might have gotten is Into the Sky. No way you guys would have gotten these weird names of the other three.
Also, OpenYourEyes311, interesting song names for Linkin Park. Those are from their reanimation album correct?

Yes, went with all Reanimation tracks. Love that album, and I wanted to keep the 20 minutes to feel similar. Kind of like a mini-album or EP.

First impressions!
If there's "sacul music" then this is "[player] music"
Started being quite underwhelmed by it but there's something captivating in its strangeness
Warm and lush, but does it stand out? We'll see
Bombastic, intense. Good stuff.
Some tracks have quite a bit of a [70s band] flavor but it goes into another direction, I like them
I've had one of these riffs on my head for a bit
Sounds nice, but feels like background music for YouTube ads
Feels sort of generic in general
Definitely has an anime sort of sound
Sounds a little different from what I usually dig in the genre but it's not too far, it works
Quite lovely, although it might go on for a bit too long
Although it's nothing groundbreaking, it's quite well executed
Reminds of a bit of this other artist on the genre although I dunno if it's as original
A bit more varied than expected, has a nice warmth to it
Stronger songwriting than what I was expecting
Lovely and intimate but doesn't feel very unique imo
I love the strings here

Results 1/3
TAC: Alice Cooper
First impression: Some tracks have quite a bit of a [70s band] flavor but it goes into another direction, I like them
Some songs have a definite Pink Floyd influence, like the beginning of The Sound of A. Well most of it sounds quite influenced by The Wall, but that's not a bad thing, I love the Floyds.Lyrics are quite simple although a tad repetitive here, talking about how meaningless noise is what everyone likes. Ok boomer? Clones (We're All) is quite simple but fun, I love the sounds here. The track itself is nothing spectacular and doesn't have much variety but works. Perfect is cool, has some pretty silly lyrics about about this imperfect girl he loves anyway - a simple hard rock tune. And we're back to another Floyd-ish tune with Pass the Gun around, although the influence is a bit less obvious. The main solo is quite nice and emotional. I'm not sure I get the lyrics though, maybe it needs more context - is this a concept album?
Overall I liked these songs, not quite dad rock I you said but I'd argue only Clones would fit that label. If I end up exploring more of his work, I might go with that album.
3.5/5
Buddyhunter1: Psychedelic Porn Crumpets
First impression: I've had one of these riffs on my head for a bit
Yeah Cornflake has some very cool riffs :metal. Then it goes into these ethereal vocals, only to build up to the riff again. Kind of a Porcupine Tree approach, I dig it. I also love the progresssions and how the last chorus is the most bombastic. Simple and effective. Cubensis Lenses (the heck are these names :lol) also has a very cool riffs. The chorus might not be as memorable as the previous one but it's got a lot of energy in the guitars. The instrumental bit at 3:30 tho, :metal. The following track is the one that's kinda borderline prog on its main melody but that's ok. I love the strings and how it doesn't follow a strict structure. My only complaint is that it may go on for a bit too long.
All in all, 3 very solid tracks. Well done.
4/5
The Walrus: ATTLAS
First impression: Sounds nice, but feels like background music for YouTube ads
Ok that was a harsh first impression, but it really felt like I had heard one of these tracks on some ad, in particular the first one, Ryat. November has a pretty nice piano and some cool synths but it kinda goes nowhere. A Ray of Light is definitely more focused and I like where it goes but it doesn't really wow me despite it's climatic ending. Half Light is definitely the highlight for me though. Cool pop song if quite by the numbers.
I get why these tracks appeal you a lot but to me they sound a little generic and that's usually a big detriment for me, in particular with electronic music since you can create any sound you want instead of going with presets :lol
3/5
Shadow Ninja 2.0: Architects
First impression: Sounds a little different from what I usually dig in the genre but it's not too far, it works
I tipically like my metalcore quite raw and relentless, so this having more of a melodic twist is interesting. The Distant Blue starts quite heavy and intense, then has a pretty pleasant breakdown and ending. I like the electronics during Memento Mori, I also was surprised to hear some very fitting samples on the middle. This is also the most varied song of the bunch going thorugh different sections and with plenty of varied instruments at the same time. Hereafter is the heaviest track here, with some banging riffs and ethereal vocals mixed in the chorus.
Pretty solid entries, I just wished the guitars had a bit more of character instead of that typical chugging sound reminiscent of djent. Would give them a bit more of personality imo.
4/5
ariich: Arcane Roots
First impression: If there's "sacul music" when this is "[player] music"
Yeah I can see how this can be borderline prog for some but it'd be quite a stretch tbh. These guys are definitely an alternative rock act with some electronics here and there. In a way I'm kinda reminded of Oceansize a bit in that sense. These tracks have a very ethereal quality and curiously I tend to prefer the instrumental sections - no that there's anything wrong with the vocals, but they tend to overtake some songs with their presence. For instance the ending of Indigo is just gorgeous, the riffs on Off the Floor are killer, and the synths on Arp are lovely. That last track in particular being my favorite of the bunch, having a bit of everything mixed in.
I like your selection leaning a little more towards the subtle electronics and synths. I can't say I'm in love with this band just yet but I could see them growing a bit more on me.
4/5
Nekov: Lung
First impression: Started being quite underwhelmed by it but there's something captivating in its strangeness
What genre are even these guys? It kinda reminds me a bit of Bent Knee and Diablo Swing Orchestra on their weird moments. I'll admit I was initially put off by their weirdness but it's been slowly growing up on me, these tracks are just so damn catchy and fun. I love the unusual instrumentation like the (electric?) cellos on Control and Abuse being the main drive of the songs. These tracks kinda remind me of a metal-less version of some of öOoOoOoOoOo's Samen. I also love the vocals and the harmonies she makes.
I find it kinda hard to describe these tunes since they're pretty unusual yet very accesible. Very intriguing band.

Nice, a solid start - glad you liked it! I think you'll really like Melancholia Hymns. Their previous albums are slightly more straightforward post-hardcore in terms of style but they're also great.

Sacul, even though you like some weird shit, you've managed to surprise me a couple of times with some older stuff, so I know you have a bit of an old soul in there...somewhere.
I've been listening to plenty of old stuff lately, mostly from the 60s through the 80s. Haven't liked everything, but some stuff has stuck like Tears for Fears, Charles Mingus, Iggy Pop, The Beach Boys, Sonic Youth, and some Beatles tracks.
Nice, a solid start - glad you liked it! I think you'll really like Melancholia Hymns. Their previous albums are slightly more straightforward post-hardcore in terms of style but they're also great.
I'll definitely check that album! I think this time I'll do an actual post-roulette thing showing which bands I've dug the most.

Results 2/3
Puppies_On_Acid: Imogen Heap
First impression: Lovely and intimate but doesn't feel very unique imo
Ok that first impression is sort of inaccurate as I confused it with the next bunch of songs. There's a nice variety here, from the synths and electronics on 2-1 mixed with the acoustic instrumentation, to the xylophone and beats on Have You Got it in You?, and the more minimalist The Moment I Said It, ending with a very pop-ish track, I'm God. These are very nice songs that somehow I don't find particularly memorable for some reason - they're not generic at all, yet I find it hard to remember any of their main melodies after listening.
So yeah, pretty cool songs, but I don't feel they resonate that close to me.
3.5/5
Tomislav95: Phoebe Bridgers
First impression: A bit more varied than expected, has a nice warmth to it
I've seen people rave about her last record, which I listened to a song from but wasn't blown away. So this was a nice surprise, maybe I'd dig her with a closer listen. The first song, Smoke Signals, is quite nice and minimal, kinda has a bit of a Twin Peaks vibe to it. Motion Sickness is definitely more into indie rock territory while keeping the warm, almost ethereal atmosphere. Funeral has some pretty sad lyrics and the instrumentation goes along really well, might be my favorite of the bunch. But Kyoto is quite close there, and also seems to be most bombastic of your selection. I love the trumpet there, and the chorus is very memorable.
I think I'd score these a little higher had it had more songs in the vein of the last two, but these are all pretty nice tracks. I might check out Punisher in the end.
3.5/5
Anguyen92: SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]
First impression: Stronger songwriting than what I was expecting
These could also qualify as having an anime sort of sound, considering the guy seems to write soundtracks for those chinese cartoons. These are mostly pop-rockish tracks with different singers, and from your description I expected something a bit less well-crafted but all of the tracks are pretty solid. My fav track is probably Into the Sky for the lovely vocals and the electronic instrumentation, but I also dig the energy the other songs bring. I like how Glory -into the RM- brings both the guitars and the strings in a way that feels kinda unique actually.
Nothing I'd really listen much on my own these days but might have dug a lot during my teens.
3.5/5
OpenYourEyes311: Linkin Park
First impression: I love the strings here
Well I think I prefer these to the originals, at least the ones I'm familiar with, which are... Crawling, basically :lol . There's plenty of cool beats and glitchy vocals here, and surprisingly, strings. And it really kind of works quite well. I quite like H! Vltg3 as it feels like a regular hip-hop track with good beats, I wouldn't know it's a remix of these guys
Not much to say, never been a big fan of Chester And The Linkin Parks but this was very cool to listen to. Might make me check out Hybrid Theory though, never listened to it in full.
3.5/5
kingshmegland: Fleet Foxes
First impression: Warm and lush, but does it stand out? We'll see
I'll admit that these tracks seemed deceptively simple at first but a closer listen reveals plenty of layers to their songwriting - the many vocals harmonies interspersed with the muted guitars on Montezuma, the vague but colorful lyrics of White Winter Hymnal, the lovely piano and more vocal harmonies on He Doesn't Know Why (my favorite of the bunch), and the many parts of The Shrine / The Argument. All of the songs have a very lush quality, an almost ethereal yet very grounded feeling. I think only the last track drags on a bit much but it's forgivable.
I've meant to listen to these guys for a while and I can kind of see why they're so influential, as I can hear bits of this style in more modern records. Good stuff.
4/5
Cyril: Mae
First impression: Quite lovely, although it might go on for a bit too long
I'm always a fan of lovely piano pieces, as it's one of my favorite instruments, and this hits the right spots most of the time. I mean, it's not the most unique piece ever, and it is kinda too long for what it's trying to achieve, but it's pretty lovely and goes through several moods - exuberant, joyful, melancholic, sad, adventurous. It'd fit quite right into an emotive indie game.
Not much to say, it's a pretty song.
3.5/5

Oh I forgot to comment in here. Totally fair assessment of Architects, although personally I never read it as djenty, I guess because djent to me tends to be associated with a sort of sterility of emotion, like the band is just loud because the amps they bought happened to go to 11, but Architects are loud because they're furious.
Will send something else sometime.
-
seasons is an interesting case where i like it mostly for its context, in the middle of the last of a three-set of EPs that essentially put the band on hiatus for nearly a decade later, it's like the end credits music but then there's a really effective two-song coda after it that all just... works well together
and of course the track listing was, for no good reason, rearranged on the rerelease that completely ruins that flow, but ::)

Oh I agree, just made the comparison to their guitar sound, their music definitely has more emotion than most djent out there.

Nice variety in the scores so far. :lol
In retrospect maybe having quarter points would have been a good idea but I'm way too used to this scoring system, so expect most entries to score 3.5/5 :lol

ONLY THREE ROUNDS UNTIL THE EP ROUND :dangerwillrobinson: :dangerwillrobinson: :dangerwillrobinson:
You should post those rules so I can put mine together in case I make it that far. :biggrin:

Oh yeah I'll make a post about that a little while after I post results :P

Results 3/3
Stadler: Harry Styles
First impression: Although it's nothing groundbreaking, it's quite well executed
I'm surprised by how well crafted these songs are - they're simple and with a contemporary sound, plenty of hooks, and a nice amount of diversity. Watermelon Sugar is funky and lots of fun, with a infectious chorus. Then we go into a White Stripes-ish rocker with Kiwi. Not the most original song on the world but it's fun and catchy. Golden is kind of an ethereal pop track with some very cool vocal harmonies and guitars going on. Ever Since New York starts quite similar to a certain Porcupine Tree song I can't quite put my finger on, and it's the ballad of the bunch. Nothing to wow me but it's pretty and easy to listen.
Didn't really know what to expect but got some very interesting tracks from this guy. I think I'll check his second album, that's the one that had the songs I liked the most.
4/5
rondrums: Andrew Bayer
First impression: Reminds of a bit of this other artist on the genre although I dunno if it's as original
You said this is what if BT brought some sunlight to Massive Attack, and I kind of feel it's more like the other way around, as it feels a lot closer to what I know by BT (which is almost nothing :lol ). Andrew seems to make some pretty nice glitch hop and downtempo stuff, with some modern classical and IDM mixed in, which is usually a combo up my alley. And while all these tracks are very well written, they don't stand out very much in terms of style. I was vaguely reminded of Jon Hopkins here and there but Bayer is definitely a lot more melody-driven. My favorite is Need Your Love, as it goes into a bit of a different direction than the other tracks.
So yeah, a very cool listen, but not one that leaves a lasting impact on me.
3.5/5
home: Backxwash
First impression: Bombastic, intense. Good stuff.
Now this is the surprise of the round, 6 very intense tracks about religion, demons, and black magic. This is some weird hip-hop stuff as it mixes samples of Black Sabbath with very cool beats. This guy has an excellent flow too. I like that some tracks like Black Magic have these calm sections, gives them more room to breathe which is sort of what I find missing in older hip-hop. Yeah this is just very original, I love it.
Seems you've catched on my love for clipping. and this does not dissappoint at all. Stigmata and Black Magic are among my favorites of the round, but your choices are just banger after banger :metal
4.5/5
Heretic: Athletics
First impression: Feels sort of generic in general
I had good hopes for these, seeing our tastes have a very good overlap, but this just ain't it. It feels like typical post-rock that only builds to epic crescendoes and barely more. Sure it's cool when it reaches the climax, but none of the 3 tracks stand out in particular at all for me. It's pretty much emo with some epic guitars, but not in a very creative way as all tracks follow a very similar formula.
Sorry for the low score, I'm just very demanding with my post-rock :lol
3/5
Elite: Gackt
First impression: Definitely has an anime sort of sound
Eh I'm not very sure about these, Last Song is a pretty standard ballad but Illness Illusion is kinda cool with the accordions and the guitars. Lu:na has an alt rock feel to it, almost grunge-y, it's nice. Mizerable is ok I think? I don't remember much from it other than it had cool strings.
I dunno, I don't find anything very memorable from these tracks, they feel like ok songs on an ok anime. Which is fine, but not something I'm into these days.

Nice! Yes it's dense music with so many layers to unfold. Glad you liked them!
-
I'm happy with the comments about SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]. I've said it for some time now. This guy knows how to compose solid JPop/JRock songs and if those songs has lyrics in them, he'll work with the right vocalist to compliment the songs well for the most part.
Anywho, I've submitted round 2.

Driving to Vermont tomorrow and I'll be using this drive (3 hours one way) rework out my next submission.

ONLY THREE ROUNDS UNTIL THE EP ROUND :dangerwillrobinson: :dangerwillrobinson: :dangerwillrobinson:
You should post those rules so I can put mine together in case I make it that far. :biggrin:
I've updated the third post after OP with the EP Round rules:
EP Round Rules
Hard time limit: 35 mins (34:59)
At least 2 different artists
At least 2 songs
Everybody can send an EP, it will be a fierce competition from the bottom up: the last player's EP will compete against the second to last player's EP, the winner competes against the following player up in the leaderboards, etc. In case of a tie, a quick tiebreaker will happen, in which each player involved will send only one song.
Score will be out of 20. Flow will count up to 5 points.
If in doubt if any of your artists are banned, send me a PM.[/li][/list]

Interesting :corn
I'm imagining smooth transitions between songs are important for the flow score - can we edit the transitions ourselves and send the EP as an mp3?

That's the only way to make a proper EP. :corn
-
those rules are essentially "the best EP wins the roulette regardless of the performance in the first four rounds" but okay :lol
-
Oof, that's a super-acclaimed album in the post rock / hardcore realm, I'm surprised it hit you as so generic. Ah well.

Glad you enjoyed it so much :D I will send something tomorrow :angel:

Yeah that's fine for me, I'll add it to the post.
those rules are essentially "the best EP wins the roulette regardless of the performance in the first four rounds" but okay :lol
Four rounds ain't enough to have much of a gap between scores so it's anyone's game I think. But that's a fair point, I'll think of a way to have the roulette score influence who wins.

Yeah I can see it being quite a niche love, but it just doesn't do it for me, sorry :lol

I have a friend who thinks Gackt has some of the best pop songs he’s ever heard. Especially arrangement-wise, I find them quite good too. Shame you didn’t like them.
-
I feel like my first date was with Margot Robbie, and now everything after is going to be down hill! :) :)
-
today I learned that a 3/5 is a 'low score' even though it's literally in the upper half of possible scores
Will send a replacement for my first round 2 submission sometime today
-
You'd have to send hot trash for me to rate something lower than 2.5/5 so it's kind of low for me :P

Yeah I can see some folks loving Gackt quite a bit, I guess j-pop just doesn't do it for me.

Sending hot trash for round 2! :metal

Sent. I also have a pretty good idea for what my EP is going to be and might have to buy a new album in order to edit it together. :lol

Will send probably tomorrow.
Re: Linkin Park. If you check them out, check out the rest of Reanimation along with Hybrid Theory... and the other albums I have to recommend are A Thousand Suns and One More Light. All 4 albums are completely different and have some great songs to offer.
High Voltage was originally released on their independent release "Hybrid Theory EP" and then a newer version was released as a B-Side to One Step Closer. And then the Reanimation version came out. All three versions are great and being re-released in October on the Hybrid Theory 20th Anniversary album.
-
A Thousand Suns is still by far the best thing Linkin Park have done, in my opinion.
Also, sent for round 2.
-
Breaking the Habit is the best Linkin Park song imo, but honestly outside of that song and the first 8 tracks on Hybrid Theory, I pretend they don't exist :lol but those particular songs are classic imo
-

Whoa, what about Meteora as well which includes of their bigger songs outside of Breaking The Habit? Faint, Numb, Somewhere I Belong.

Whoa, even Meteora as well which includes of their bigger songs outside of Breaking The Habit? Faint, Numb, Somewhere I Belong.
Yeah, honestly I can't stand Meteora outside of BTH, especially Somewhere I Belong, I strongly dislike that song. And actually let me rephrase that; the first 8 tracks on Hybrid Theory rule... except Crawling which is horrendous. But I think that has to do with the chorus becoming a huge meme online in the 2000s, as well as it being super emo. But man, Breaking the Habit was sweet, I really always wanted more like that from the group but never ever got it. That song was one of the very few musical things me and my brother had in common, we would play that song aaaall the time at home.
I did like that one single from A Thousand Suns, I forget the name of it but it had a lot of really distorted vocals, I think, and very little if anything else from the rest of the band beside some synths? Linkin Park was always a band of extremes to me: whatever they put out, I either loved it, or hated it. One Step Closer is a JAM.
-

Definitely, it's not even close.
But yeah Breaking the Habit is also an amazing song.

Think I've got my EP nailed down already. Can I send you a PM and confirm / reserve some artists for it? Don't wanna get cucked in the next few rounds and have to re-do it. :P
-
Sure! Reminder that the TAC rule is implicitely in place so go ahead.
And about EPs, so your performance in these short 4 rounds is meaningful, now your roulette score is added along with your EP and flow scores. Since I don't expect a huge range of scores across the bord it should add a nice plus.

For those that stated that Poets of the Fall's Carnival of Rust is their best song, I like the song, but I don't enjoy as much as everyone that listens to their stuff does. Therefore, I opted to not through it in the song list for this round.

Ok now to the actual first impressions. Might do comparisons on Friday.
Definitely expected something different from their name but I ain't mad
Ethereal and warm, more on the original side of things
Feels like dad rock
A lot more dissonant than I normally dig
A little on the generic side but quite well executed
Not sure it's got enough substance
For some reason I expected something a lot calmer, this is cool
I need quite a bit of time to digest this but I like it so far
Ethereal and warm, if a little on the generic side
Quite better than I had expected
Now this is the kind of stuff I was expecting you to send
Lots of energy here
Quite intriguing atmosphere, it kind of drags tho
Pretty and heartfelt
I totally expected this from you /s
Pretty fun and radio-friendly, I like it
One of these is a dud but the rest are bangers
-
"Ethereal and warm, more on the original side of things"
"Ethereal and warm, if a little on the generic side"
"Quite intriguing atmosphere, it kind of drags tho"
the first one if any of them though :P
-
Hot damn so many could be mine.

I'm thinking this.
A lot more dissonant than I normally dig

Crap. How about this?

Seems my attempt at Sacul music failed. :lol

Sacul can you tell me which is mine

I'm not guessing any further, because I'm not yet mentally prepared for "Dad Rock". :) :) :) :)

You might want to get ready for that :P

(The sad thing is, I went and saw them right before COVID - my last show before the lockdown, actually - and was front row. During the show I looked over and my local weatherman was there... with his kids rocking out. I should have KNOWN!

I feel like mine is pretty and heartfelt.

Hope it's lasagna.

Note that these are not final, and I've gone with a lower comparison in case of doubt. So there's definitely room for some of these to grow when results are out. Which will likely be on Sunday in 3 batches like before - with almost 5 hours of music and 17 players is the only way I can handle this :lol.
-
my songs are only going to get progressively spicier
-
Huh, I would have thought my songs this round would be a lot less spicy than last round.

Hoping that the signs sink in a little more before your write ups.

Results 1/3
Cyril: Porter Robinson
First impression: Pretty and heartfelt
Sea of Voices has this lovely atmosphere slowly buildin up that I wish had exploded with more intensity but it's pretty nice anyway. Fellow Feeling is very interesting as it starts as a nice synthpop song with lovely strings then has this crazy electronic breakdown, then some cool glitches and just electropop bliss afterwards - really up my alley here. Finally, Goodbye to a World is more of a slow burner - takes a little to get going but it's worth, I love the synths here.
3 very cool electro/synth pop tracks that have grown quite a bit on me. I have to check this out.
4/5
TAC: Meursault
First impression: I totally expected this from you /s
No really, TAC sending me indie folk? WTF (Winger Theater Forums) indeed. I dunno why you thought this wouldn't appeal to me at all, I like folk music. Although these tracks are not particularly outstanding they're quite nice to listen to, with interesting if somewhat grim lyrics. The firts two songs are pretty regular indie folk, nothing special but cool stuff. One Day This'll All Be Fields has this very lo-fi vibe and a pretty weird ending, I dig it. I WIll Kill Again is my favorite song tho, as it breaks from the previous songs, featuring drums, a lovely piano, and some sampled strings - and that climax, damn - it's really lovely, one of my favorites pieces of the round.
Never thought you'd be into this nor send me this sort of music. I'm quite intrigued by what else you've got.
3.5/5
Nekov: Gordi
First impression: Ethereal and warm, if a little on the generic side
I don't have much to say, these are all pretty nice indie pop songs that feel a bit generic. Kinda reminds me of Daughter and similar stuff that has this sort of atmospheric, kinda ethereal quality. Sure these songs are catchy, but I feel they lack personality that makes them unique, which is something I look forward in my pop. They sort of blend into each other, and while it's a pretty pleasant listen, I can hardly remember any of their main motifs.
3.5/5
kingshmegland: Shudder to Think
First impression: A lot more dissonant than I normally dig
I think my favorite tracks are the less dissonant ones. I love a little dissonance in my music here and there but I'm afraid some of these songs are just too much, like Hit Liquor. But Red House for instance is pretty cool, with the right balance of distortion and accesibility. Yeah I don't have much to say other than some tracks where a chore to get through, sorry :lol.
Although all your songs are pretty short and within the time limit, I couldn't wait for them to be over most of the time
3/5
Heretic: MONO / World's End Girlfriend
First impression: Quite intriguing atmosphere, it kind of drags tho
You said it had a similar post-apocalyptic atmosphere, akin to F#A#Infinity and I sort of see the similarities. There's a dark vibe with very prominent strings and that already feels promising. And then it's just that for 12 minutes.... No epic guitars or heart-wrenching samples about the end of the world, or mysterious field recordings - only sad strings and some subtle guitarts for a long while, repeating the same motif. Which it pretty fine actually, and I guess the rest of the record might have something else, but as it is, there's not that much here.
Shame, as what's here is cool but just feels overtly long and sort of incomplete, as it's the first part of a bigger piece. I'm curious to listen to the rest.
3.5/5
The Walrus: Grimes
First impression: Quite better than I had expected
Well color me surpised, I was sort of expecting these tracks to blow as I've had negative experiences with Grimes in the past, particularly her personality which I found just disgusting. But this is pretty neat and weird electropop. 4AM is quite weird, has a bit of a tribal vibe to it but with high pitched vocals and fun beats. My Name is Dark is infectiously catchy, and I love those distorted guitars. IDORU is nice, it's got a cool atmosphere, but it's my least favorite of these tracks and I don't understand a single word of what she says here :lol.
You were about to resend but I'm glad you stuck with her stuff, good choices.
4/5
-
As I expected :) I personally love IDORU and thought you'd love that one haha. Glad to surprise you! The rest of the album is really good too. I will send tonight
-
I figured that much when I read your 1st impressions. At least,moving forward I know better now.
-
Spicy.

:corn

also Dacul go to Earth next then Fire last tbh
-
I'll take 3.5. I know it's not high by your standards but it's fine. I'll send something tomorrow.
-
Ooh, glad you liked it for the most part. It's a very strange album. It's incredibly slow, vast, and the theme evolves over the course of the tracks -- it all adds to the dreary, bleak nature the album is trying to depict for me. This review says it all for me: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/41611/Mono---Worlds-End-Girlfriend-Palmless-Prayer---Mass-Murder-Refrain/
But yeah, cool. On to the next round.

I'm afraid you'll have to wait until tomorrow, I've had a very long day. I'll do a few writeups then hit the hay.

Yeah, sorry about that, really should have gone with quarter points for this :lol. My scores for albums are not super varied either:

Second batch coming :soon:
-
my RYM scores look much the same but moreso because I only review albums I own and I'm pretty good about not buying albums that completely suck balls
(the 0.5s are for downvoting nazis and abusers btw)
(https://i.imgur.com/8s6RjGW.png)
-
I have tons of albums in the 2.5-3.5 range and I think that's largely from rating old albums in my physical collection that I fell out of favor with years before rating them but also because I just listen to a lot of dreck or average stuff out of curiosity and never go back

Results 2/3
Anguyen92: Poets of the Fall
First impression: Pretty fun and radio-friendly, I like it
Four very solid pop rock tracks with a bit of alt rock mixed in. The standount might be Lift, it has a very cool chorus, with lots of energy. I don't have much to say, this sort of music ain't usually my cup of tea but it's always a pleasant listen.
I guess you wonder why I haven't given this a higher score despite my good impressions, and the reson is simple - a 4 and upwards means I really want to go listen to an album by the artist submitted. And while I dig these tracks, I feel no rush to go back to them nor check them out further. I'm just not much into this sort of music these days.
3.5/5
Buddyhunter1: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
First impression: One of these is a dud but the rest are bangers
Quite an interesting selection here: a very energic garage rock infused with crazy psychedelic vibes on Robot Stop, an ok at best thrash / stoner metal tune called Planet B, then Slow Jam 1 being a very chill and cool tune, almost reminiscent of Tame Impala. And closing with Am I In Heaven, another great, noisy 7 mins of psychedelia and garage rock. Ok Planet B isn't that bad, the more stoner bits are pretty cool but man I just don't really like thrash for the most part - sure I dig some Megadeth tunes but that's about it.
Wished the mastering wasn't so loud, you can barely distinguish instruments and not in a very pleasing way. Planet B aside, these are some very solid tracks all the way through.
4/5
Puppies_On_Acid: Kiss Kiss
First impression: Definitely expected something different from their name but I ain't mad
Yeah I guess I was expecting some pop music but seems I'm getting some interesting art rock. Janet starts pretty calm then explodes into a nice section with pianos, guitars, intense drumming, and vocals that are just about to go post-hardcore. Machines is what happens when the local circus is around - sorta reminds me of Diablo Swin Orchestra but gone indie. Plague 11 follows similar but not as silly, and for some reason feels a bit more chaotic. Innocent 1 I like how it goes from mood to mood, although I'm not big into any of them in particular. I think Innocent 2 might be my favorite track here as it's the least chaotic for the most part, it's got an excellent buildup and climax, I love the ending. Hate feels like a mix of everything else, chaos included - I like when it gets a little dissonant with the strings near the end.
These tracks make me think of a sort of hybrid between Mr Bungle and Diablo Swing Orchestra with some post-hardcore and indie rock in the mix. I can totally see why you'd love this as I'm sure folks more into those bands will dig them. I personally didn't find many particularly memorable melodies and I have a bit of a hard time recalling these tracks apart from Innocent 2. Long writeup but only cuz you sent me 6 songs damnit :lol.
3.5/5
romdrums: Photek
First impression: Not sure it's got enough substance
I really like that you're sending me something a little different, however this partcular choice didn't pan out that well. The Hidden Camera and Modus Operandi start ok but they kind of repeat a neat beat, with a subtle bass over it, and spacey synths or a mysterious piano, but there's not a lot of variety in terms of composition - sort of reminds me of what I've heard of squarepusher. Junk on the other hand is a lot more interesting, it's quite a banger and easily the best track here. It's got a pretty cool beat, some vocals interspersed, and I really dig those synths that pop here and there. Quite groovy.
Sadly I have to average these, so while Junk is a 4/5, I'd say The Hidden Camera is 2.5, and Modus Operandi 3.5 at best if it didn't go for so long. I'd be interested in more stuff like Junk tho.
3.5/5
Elite: John Coltrane
First impression: Now this is the kind of stuff I was expecting you to send
These tracks are a lot more chill than I expected - for some reason I thought you'd send me crazy stuff like Giant Steps. In particular A Love Supreme, which I tried listening a long time ago and wasn't big into it but that was before I got into jazz. Now I'm digging it a lot more - the sax solos, the piano, the drumming, even the bass and the vocals, they're all pretty hypnotizing. Naima is sort of ok, a pleasant 4 mins of pretty chill jazz that doesn't do much but doesn't bother at all either. Equinox feels similar but with a bit more meat to it, there's more energy in general.
Yeah this seems more lined up with what I was expecting from you, I'd be interested in more jazz or other weird stuff you may have.
3.5/5
home: Mount Kimbie
First impression: Ethereal and warm, more on the original side of things
Four Years and One Day has some looovely synths and the atmosphere is very nice, lots of original sounds here. Blue Train Lines and Marilyn have these guys doing some sort of weird vocals which I kind of dig, and simple but cool beats - again, the atmosphere is wonderful here. You Took Your Time I'm not as big on as the other tracks but it's still very warm and has a cool vibe overall. Although short and a bit unusual, I'm really digging We Go Home.
I like that you're sending me hipster contemporary music, keep it coming.
4/5
-
Nice! That did better than I was anticipating. Definitely check out Nonagon Infinity and I'm In Your Mind Fuzz :metal You can probably avoid Infest The Rats' Nest if you don't like Planet B but rest assured that's their only metal album, hahaha.
I also think the clipping is actually just how they recorded the instruments and not the mastering, but I could be wrong there. It's pretty bad on Nonagon Infinity because of how muddy the mix is but I'm In Your Mind Fuzz has a much brighter and dry mix which suits the noisiness a lot better in my opinion. And Infest The Rats' Nest just sounds fucking filthy but this time I 100% say that as a compliment.

Awesome! Have you ever heared James Blake's latest album (the singer on this song)? I saw you listened to his self titled, but he evolved quite a lot.

I'll def listen to those two albums! And yeah I like some dirty production, like Boris usually do, but not when it's compressed as hell (which Boris also do).

John Coltrane is a fucking hero despite being a 3,5 / 5 in this roulette :)
-
He is, I've got a lot of admiration for him - he once said in an interview he wanted to be a force for good, and I find that very inspriring. Don't worry, I'll def check out A Love Supreme, it's been on my list for too long.

Results 3/3
Stadler: Squeeze
First impression: Feels like dad rock
Dad rock is fine, I like some of it. These are some fun tracks that I wouldn't mind listening on the background while doing something else. Actually Hourglass is very cool, love the sax there. And Black Coffee in Bed has a very memorable chorus.
I dunno, I feel this is definitely the jams of a different era that aren't resonating with me as much as I wanted them to.
3.5/5
Tomislav95: Frightened Rabbit
First impression: For some reason I expected something a lot calmer, this is cool
Yeah dunno why I thought I'd get an acoustic folk album instead of a sort of indie rock folk thingy. The Modern Leper is filled with energy and builds to a very nice climax. Then My Backwards Walk takes a step back but not too much. Keep Yourself Warm follows on a similar vibe but I dig it more, and the lyrics are pretty insightful. And Death Dream closes things rather nicely with a very dreamy atmosphere.
I think these are lovely songs, and although they don't leave a huge impact on me, they're very pleasing to listen to whenever they're on.
3.5/5
ariich: Thomas Giles
First impression: I need quite a bit of time to digest this but I like it so far
Ok so this is a little cheating since a) I love me some BTBAM, and b) someone sent me one of this album's songs on a previous roulette I think? I've got the feeling someone did at some point. Anyway, these are some pretty varied and cool tracks, with a strong electronic vibe to them - Sleep Shake is probably the closest it gets to Thomas' prog metal band during the chorus, but the rest of the songs are pretty different. Like Catch & Release goes into a more aggressive synthpop direction with those thick and dissonant synths. But then Scared calms things down with just an acoustic guitar - it's a nice little ballad. OK Hypoxia is also a littel BTBAM-ish, and borderline cheating again, but I like how it slowly builds up and reaches a nice climax.
Yeah dunno why I never checked his solo output, this is very solid stuff. I probably wouldn't have appreciated this years ago but now I can dig it.
4/5
OpenYourEyes311: The Lone Below
First impression: A little on the generic side but quite well executed
So yeah, 4 tracks of indie folk with hits of americana here and there, theu make for a pretty pleasant listen, even if I don't find any of them particularly unique. There's plenty of nicely written vocal harmonies and each song is quite catchy, very melodic. It's quite old fashioned music that it's nothing groundbreaking but executed with enough confidence.
3.5/5
Shadow Ninja 2.0: Cloud Cult
First impression: Lots of energy here
Even more indie folk! I usually forget which song is which when watching the live video you sent me as it is such a blast of energy and they all flow one after the. I like how they all sing, and that there's a guy painting while they play :lol. All songs are pretty simple but so energic and passionate. I love all the instruments at play, the banjo, the piano, trumpets, violin, drums, and the crazy guy with the guitar. Beautiful lyrics too. Complicated Creation might be the most unique track, and probably my favorite here.
I think the live aspect is what elevates your submission from most other indie folk in the round, plus I think these guys might have the edge on the personality department. Cool stuff.

Why are you making an EP already when there are two more rounds to go still and only the top 5 players get to play the EP round anyway?
-

Sacul changed the rules so that everyone submits an EP. I think. He's changed the EP round rules like three times now. Are we still doing the fight from the bottom thing or was that scrapped? :lol
-
Huh? The OP still says 'top 5 players', which is where I looked.
-
Everybody can send an EP, it will be a fierce competition from the bottom up: the last player's EP will compete against the second to last player's EP, the winner competes against the following player up in the leaderboards, etc. In case of a tie, a quick tiebreaker will happen, in which each player involved will send only one song.
Sacul update your OP :lol
-
This is saculfusing
-
It's so confusing that I see that a Walrus can type.
-
The walrus nation takes offense to such remarks.
-
I send a formal apology via on a fish.
-
Tim never sent any fish. I'm gonna kick his ass.

:lol
Buddy is right, and I've updated the OP. Third post contains all the EP round rules.
-
Oh shit, I've actually got to make an EP now.
-
man i still don't understand the bottom-up rule in this case because it's not like people are making new EPs every round :lol
essentially all that says is that the best EP wins!
-
Basically but also your roulette score matters now so it's more balanced. Yeah people won't be making new EPs every round, I don't want to die from so much music :lol
The bottom-up thing is just a fancy way to post results :P
-
Basically but also your roulette score matters now so it's more balanced.
Where does it say that?
-
EP Round Rules- Score will be out of 20 plus flow and your current roulette score. Flow will count up to 5 points.
-
Gotcha.

If you've got more doubts about the EP round guys, please ask. In the meantime, we continue with our scheduled hangmanen.

Today's my birthday so I'll give you a little present: some of the bottom participants sent their best stuff so far, some of the top players sent some duds. This should make things interesting :corn

I predict I will be near the top this round and that will be my apex for this roulette
-
Hey Sacul, you've got My Funny Valentine spelled wrong for Miles Davis.
-
there's literally two points between the top and the bottom atm i think that means everyone is simultaneously winning and losing at the moment anyways

Happy birthday!

You liar :'(

Sorry, got lost playing The Wolf Among Us :lol
TAC Dad music, but the good stuff
I love the 2000s but not this kind of stuff
I can't say it's generic, but I don't find it quite memorable either
Sometimes chill, sometimes intense
Sounds mostly like something you'd hear on the radio in the 2000s
I'm definitely not interested in 2000s alternative rock
Expected something else, ain't disappointed
Maybe a bit too long? We'll see
Reminds me of [band I dig a lot] but it's it's own thing
Quite complex but I'm slowly digging through it
More dad music, and quite good
Shadow Ninja 2.0 More sacul music, good so far
Very diverse selection, I like it
Mostly chill, I'm starting to grow into these songs
It's quite good for its genre but overall it's not much of my thing
Exactly how 4'33" sounds
The Walrus Pretty much sacul music, but is it good enough?
-
Sorry, got lost playing The Wolf Among Us :lol

nope, I suck, hell yeah
That's your impression alright.

Trip-hop / downtempo is definitely sacul music.

Hope it's not this.

Nope.

I can't say it's generic, but I don't find it quite memorable either
Expected something else, ain't disappointed
Mostly chill, I'm starting to grow into these songs
well it's gotta be one of these three then

Not the last one :P. It's the first one.

Results 1/3
TAC: Hothouse Flowers
First impression: Dad music, but the good stuff
Ok I thought this was a little older than the 90s hence my dad music comment, but these are a pretty cool bunch of pop rock tracks. Isn't It Amazing is quite soulful and emotional, with a wonderful atmosphere. Although it's not the most original sounding track ever it's very well written, and I just love the constant vibe going on and the sax. Lovely vocal harmonies too. Then there's a chance of pace with Love Don't Work This Way, a funkier tune with more sax and other brass instruments. Some of the vocals sound like something Moby would definitely sample (and maybe has?). Don't Go doesn't hold my attention so well, I feel it's more of a by the numbers kind of track than the previous two, but still has some cool moments here and there. Luckily Spirit of the Land makes things interesting again, with some pretty sick piano playing. Then some weird vocal chantings near the end, very cool.
So this is an interesting entry - very well-crafted songs, wasn't expecting such solid songwriting and playing from these guys at first. Well done.
4/5
The Walrus: Mariusz Duda
First impression: Pretty much sacul music, but is it good enough?
This is some clever, massive cheating - I love Riverside, and Mariusz' solo project Lunatic Soul. And I was planning on checking out this record eventually. So, the songs, they do vary in quality quite a bit. There's certainly a sense of isolation and almost claustrophobia here, which fits the theme quite well. Isolated is a nice instrumental piece, albeit a bit too long for my taste. Lockdown Spaces is an interesting experiment but it's also kind of annoying with the sounds he chose and repeating "1,2,3,4" all the time - at least it's a short track. Then Thought Invaders is another instrumental but uuhhh it's ok, there's not much of interest going on tbh. I can barely remember it once it's over. Pixel Heart has some lovely synths overall, I think it's my favorite of these tracks. It doesn't do that much but it's pretty pleasing. Finally Screensaver, well, it certainly exists.
I've got a feeling Mariusz put all of this together in a couple of days and released it, since everything feels so underdeveloped unlike his usual output. Sorry to disappoint you Mr Walrus, but these songs ain't doing much for me despite being in theory up my alley.
3/5
Nekov: Polyenso
First impression: Expected something else, ain't disappointed
When the first song kicks in I almost thought I was listening to Radiohead, there's quite a similarity in style of singing. But then it slowly turns into something of its own, with the pianos and the lush atmosphere, closing with some cool robotic vocals. Then Neon Mirror has these lovely guitars and a pretty ethereal atmosphere. Bastard is more of a regular art pop track with nice electronics and trumpets I think?
I'm sort of conflicted, these tracks nail the diverse and creative instrumentation I dig in this sort of music, but I think they sort of fail at making compelling, memorable melodies. I can't even recall any of the choruses once these songs are over. At least they're quite pleasing to listen to.
3.5/5
Buddyhunter1: Kauan
First impression: Maybe a bit too long? We'll see
Well seems that people really want to get me into Kauan, since I was sent a song on my previous roulette :lol. This is like doom metal with hints of post-rock and nice violins. Äidin Laulu is an 11 minute piece with an interesting atmosphere, heavy guitars, and both harsh and ethereal vocals that feels qutie like winter. It goes through various sections and ends with a mix of serene and heavy. IV follows in a similar fashion but in a more folk-ish fashion rather than going heavy, although there are some harsh vocals near the end. It certainly has a cool atmosphere it mantains throughout the 8 mins it lasts but it never feels like it drags.
I feels that long songs don't catch my attention that much these days. Dunno if it's just me falling out of taste with them or my ADHD getting worse with time :lol. But while these tracks were very enjoyable and I don't have much to say about them, I don't feel the need to check this band out further, hence the score.
3.5/5
Puppies_On_Acid: AFI
First impression: Sounds mostly like something you'd hear on the radio in the 2000s
About the first impression, I say that mostly as these songs have that distinct 2000s punk rock sound to them, mostly on the choruses, but with some interesting twists. The Prayer Positions gives me Refused vibes in general, which is always a good thing, although I find the chorus to be kinda generic and not as interesting as the rest of the track. The Days of the Phoenix sort of reminds me of early Brand New, it's a cool track, with some interesting buildups here and there but along with Girl's Not Grey, they feel like the more generic songs of the bunch. Not bad, just not feeling in a rush to listen to them again. However Death of Seasons is like the opposite of that, starting quite raw and heavy, and then going into a short electronic breakdown that's cool as hell, wished it lasted longer. The chorus is ok, he does that sort of dumb voice that seemed popular back then, but at least it doens't last too long. Then in the second half it goes into this very interesting ambient section with strings and distant screaming, very cool. The Great Dissappointment certainly doesn't follow it's name, as it is a pretty cool song, going into a more melodic hardcore route.
I've never been too big on punk rock, not even during it's peak while I was growing up. However these tracks have a pretty pleasing and interesting twist to them that make them stand out from that era.
3.5/5
Anguyen92: Big Wreck
First impression: I'm definitely not interested in 2000s alternative rock
Wait I confused your first impression with Rise Against, sorry :lol. Yeah these tracks sort of remind me of Alter Bridge but with some folk to them I think? They're pretty cool for what they are, post-grungey tunes with some hard rock mixed in, mostly following on Soundgarden steps. I don't have much to say, they're pleasing to listen to but not quite memorable to me tbh.
3/5

My first 3.5, what a momentous occasion :blush
-
Yeah in hindsight I probably sent that as a kneejerk reaction after my first run through it, but I figured it was the most Sacul-y thing I could send, so whatever, you're getting Walrus music next round :lol
-
Keeping up with the average!
-
How does Tim even know about Hothouse Flowers? :lol
I kid Tim! I kid!
-
Well, so much for that. I might as well try and go off the deep end in the next round if Big Wreck couldn't get the seal of must-relisten again.
Also, about that Alter Bridge connection, Myles Kennedy is a huge fan of Big Wreck and Ian Thornley's guitar playing. In fact, I think that's probably how I heard their name in the first place back around 2014 or so.
-
How does Tim even know about Hothouse Flowers? :lol
:lol
No, that's a fair question.
When I was in college I lived in a 6 man suite. One of the kids assigned to my suite was an English guy from South Africa. He was familiar with them. They played at the Living Room In Providence. This would've been late 88/early 89... And a bunch of us went to the show.
I remember the place was PACKED. I mean, I had never heard of them. But holy shit, they were amazing. Not my style of music, really, but we had an amazing time. What a great atmosphere.
I think about them every now and then. Sacul is kind of hard to pin down, but I thought I'd find a couple of decent tunes and try my luck with it.

Results 2/3
romdrums: Hiromi
First impression: Quite complex but I'm slowly digging through it
These are certainly 2 long, very complex pieces that have taken me a bit to get into and slowly understand what the motifs are. I've gotta say that the drums and piano are just insane but never going fully over the top like say in prog usually. Wished the bass had a bit more of presence overall since when it's upfront it's really cool. Alive goes with this sort of cinematic, energic theme and varies it with this darker, king crimson-esque one. Warrior goes in a similar fashion but this time the variations feels a bit more like old school jazz from what little I know. The bass has more presence here, and adds a very nice texture.
So yeah, dunno if my assesment makes any sense as I'm still quite new to jazz music overall. These two tracks are very fun and easy to follow after a few close listens, I'm looking forward to listening to more of her work as I've had it pending for a while.
4/5
Stadler: Duran Duran
First impression: More dad music, and quite good
I've got no clue why I've never listened to these guys, guess it was my aversion to 80s music in general that put me off from checking them out, but lately I've grown a bigger appreciation for it. I quite like the variety you picked here, with Ordinary World having this beautiful energy and the overall atmosphere being very cinematic. Then Lonely in Your Nightmare is cool, sounds a bit like typical 80s pop rock but it's fun anyway. Girls on film is a simple but very fun song, with lots of groove. And finally, a live track with The Wild Boys, which I wouldn't have guesses was live if you hadn't told me. Very cool, lots of energy, if a little repetitive.
Very solid selection, I'm now interested in checking out these guys a bit further, at least their classic albums like Rio.
4/5
Shadow Ninja 2.0: Second Person
First impression: More sacul music, good so far
Yeah this is pretty much the sort of stuff I dig, sort of trip-hop / downtempo music was quite my jam a few years ago and still is. Some of these tracks have more of a contemporary electronic sound to them, which I find pretty pleasing, while others go into a more old-school style, which I like as well. They might be a little repetitive, like Spilt Milk, but they are pretty catchy and short so I can accept it. The Wishbone is my favorite of the bunch, got some lovely piano and lo-fi beats.
5 very simple but effective, catchy tracks that are quite up my alley. Nothing that wowed me but they still made for a very solid listen.
4/5
kinghmegland: Eels
First impression: Very diverse selection, I like it
I actually know one song from their second album but can't remember it's name :lol , so I was a little pleased to see you sending me these guys. This is certainly a varied selection, with a nice indie pop tune in From Which I Came / A Magic World, the simple but nice Novocain For The Soul (are those sampled strings?). Flyswatter reminds me of a children's fable with the xylophone and the lyrics about mice. Peach Blossom is weird, as it sounds quite 90s despite being a recent song, but it's got a very cool energy to it anyway. The Deconstruction is an interesting and simple ballad about the guy about to break apart - it's quite interesting if a little repetitive.
I dunno, I feel I should be digging these tracks a lot more since they got personality and are pretty catchy. But maybe it's the emotional element that's not connecting with me as much as I'd love to.
3.5/5
ariich: Broken Bells
First impression: Reminds me of [band I dig a lot] but it's it's own thing
Yeah these kind of reminded but of Gorillaz a bit but the more I listened the more I realised how these guys are their own thing. I love the chill nature of these songs and the use of acoustic instruments along with the more electronic elements, like the piano on The High Road or the guitars on Vaporize (there's a section that has strong Porcupine Tree vibes, nice). The Ghost Inside sounds quite inspired from Demon Dayz though, and not in a bad way, it's a pretty cool track.
These tracks have grown quite a bit on me as I've come to appreciate them for what they are. Well done.
4/5
OpenYourEyes311: Rise Against
First impression: I love the 2000s but not this kind of stuff
Yeah I don't have much to say, I'm not very interested in 2000s punk rock / melodic hardcore stuff like this. While these tracks are totally fine and an easy listen, with cool riffs and plenty of energy, it's a style I never found very appealing and have little desire to go back to. Plus, I find this sort of derivative, with not much of a strong personality imo - I just have a hard time distinguishing one song from another to be able to give a more detailed commentary.

Results 3/3
Cyril: Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
First impression: I can't say it's generic, but I don't find it quite memorable either
Well this is curious, wouldn't have expected you to send me americana / alt country stuff. So I don't know that much about the genre so I can't say this is generic at all, and is quite well written actually. I like the energy on tracks like Cumberland Gap and Overseas (this one has some pink floyd vibes, nice). If We Were Vampires feels pretty inconsequential and is frankly a boring ballad. Be Afraid is a nice song, but I think it's got some pretty unoriginal melodies overall. Finally, Letting You Go is a better ballad than the vampires one but it's not a very original one either.
Yeah these songs are a nice listen but they're not terribly memorable imo, they just lack something that grabs me personally.
3/5
Elite: Miles Davis
First impression: Sometimes chill, sometimes intense
More jazz! I actually have already listened to 2 of Miles' albums, Kind of Blue and Bitches Brew. While I quite like the former, I couldn't wrap my head around the other, so I didn't explore much of his work afterwards. So, the tracks: My Funny Valentine is a very pretty piece, with some lovely piano playing and a very smooth trumpet. Feels perfect for a bar at night. Airegin is a lot more interesting however, and more energetic, with some pretty sick drumming and trumpet-ing. I like the main motif here and how it's developed, definitely my favorite of your choices. I'm actually familiar with All Blues but not this version, and when I realized it was too late to ask you to resend so I just let it pass. Pretty energetic performance here, I wasn't too big on the original but this is a nice improvement on it, Miles does some pretty crazy things.
So yeah, I'll admit I was ready to give you the 3.5 you wanted, but upon a final listen I found myself really enjoying these songs, so have a 4 instead.
4/5
home: James Blake
First impression: Mostly chill, I'm starting to grow into these songs
I love James' Limit to Your Love but couldn't get into the rest of that album and haven't really tried the rest of his work. Now that I've gotten into similar stuff, I think I'm growing into his style slowly. Retrograde is a slow burner with very beautiful vocals and synths. Can't Believe the Way We Flow has some interesting samples that are a little repetitive but has a gorgeous chorus that makes up for them. Then there's this pretty interesting approach to half-sung, half-rapped vocals on Where's The Catch? I just love the piano samples here, and the multiple sections this track has. Finally, You're Too Precious is a nice little low-key song with muted pianos, distorted sampled vocals, and some minimal percussion, it's quite pretty.
Yeah these songs were ok at first but have grown a lot on me, I'll definitely check out more of James' stuff.
4/5
Tomislav95: Wintersun
First impression: It's quite good for its genre but overall it's not much of my thing
Yeah so uuhhh, I've never been too big on melodic death metal and symphonic metal stuff, as I find the former sort of boring, and the latter quite cheesy most of the time. And seems this track is both genres at once, welp :lol. I see the point here, but it just doesn't really do it for me. The guitar has a pretty bland sound to it, the same riff is repeated throughout most of its duration and it's not even that good of a riff, vocals are ok, the lyrics are fine I guess, but the track just feels sort of... well, empty. Guess it matches the theme? Maybe it's the production that's pretty weak, but I also don't find any of the melodies that memorable.
So yeah, sorry, but these sort of songs just have never been my cup of tea. It's fine for what it is, just not for me.

If you mean on RYM, if I've rated at least one of that band's albums 4 or higher, they're banned, anything else is fair game - for instance a player just sent me something from an artist that I gave a 3 in the past, but their submission is from a different album. If you mean artists sent on the roulette, sure, as long as they're not banned.

I'll definitely check out more of James' stuff.
Goal achieved ;D
I'll send soon! It might be indie after all as I'm saving my hip hop for the EP. Edit: nevermind, you have explored this genre so little that I can easily fill up an ep with all different artists and still have left over :D

Dang it, OpenYourEyes. You went with Switchfoot as well in a roulette round? On top of that, all the songs you picked are from Vice Verses? I don't blame you. That's probably their best album.

Vice Versus and Hello Hurricane are definitely their best. I went all VV cuz I felt it just flowed better that way. Were you gonna use them in your EP?

No, I had Switchfoot in a current round for another roulette that's ongoing here.

The prog metal is the friends we made along the way.
Before I post first impressions, here's two quick thoughts: a) 4 of you have sent me instrumental jam music, 1 of which is pretty gud, and the others range from good to meh. b) this is probably the weakest round so far overall :lol

Oh, nice. Just looked at the songs you sent. N&HL is one of my favorite songs of all time. Unfortunately I can't really listen to it anymore. It was a wedding song and I'm not married anymore, so it comes with tough feels. Also, MTL is fantastic as well, obviously putting them on the map way back in the day.
No, I had Switchfoot in a current round for another roulette that's ongoing here.

First impressions :corn
Quite ethereal and dreamy yet focused and memorable
Quite a banger actually
Old-school yet seems to be slowly working on me
Kind of weird but interesting jams here
Got some lovely production but also some cliched melodies and lyrics
Gets better with each track
I was sort of familiar with them but this is nice
Really lovely production and melodies, but it's kind of ruined by the singing style.
Cyril Not very memorable, and the singing style doesn't help either
I'm not sure how to feel about this
Most of these are nice, but there's a big dud here
I dunno, it's quite fine and well-written but I don't find it appealing to me
Maybe it will grow on me as there's quite an emotional thing there
I'm sort of struggling with this one
Bored me at first but it's slowly growing on me a bit
More interesting that what I expected from them

OH boy...

Honestly, I'm completely fine with a more leisurely pace. I'm really enjoying the roulette.

It's a Sacul roulette, what the fuck did you guys expect :lol
I'm okay with the slower pace too. These rounds have all just been a warm-up for the EP round anyways :corn

This thread is over 2 months old. The EP rounds are going to go until spring

I'm fine with the pace of all these roulettes; just remember that when I take the weekend to prepare my submission! :) :)

Thanks for the support guys, it's been hard to keep any pace these days. I'll get you some results today at least.

Results 1/3
home: Mac Miller
First impression: Really lovely production and melodies, but it's kind of ruined by the singing style.
I'm not the biggest fan of Mac's vocal style, I don't know why but he sounds a bit like an asshole for some reason :lol. But the music is really nice, I like the groove of Dang! and Anderson's vocals there. Self Care's got a lovely production but I don't enjoy it when Mac sings slowly ugh makes me wants to punch him. At least in Good News it's a bit more restrained and enjoyable, cool tune. Blue World is also very nice, got some actual good flow going on there.
So, pretty cool songs, meh vocals. Thus, you get your first 3.5. Welcome to the club!
3.5/5
Cyril: Senza
First impression: Not very memorable, and the singing style doesn't help either
Yeeeah so... Uh... I'm not the biggest fan of this. On the one hand this is pretty chaotic and dissonant but not in a way I find cathartic or epic but rather annoying, particularly on Born of Dirt and Even a Worm Fill Turn. There are moments here and there throughout the songs where it actually comes together rather nicely then to be ruined by seemingly random spurts of chaotic Cyrilcore. But while all that could be acceptable or listenable anyway, then there's the vocals, oh boy. Why the hell is the singer screaming the same high pitched note or two all the damn time? It gets tiring quite fast, and hurts any chance of bringing dynamics to the table. Plus it's not the most pleasing sort of scream I've heard tbh.
So yeah, I'm not that big on the music, and definitely not at all on these vocals.
2.5/5
Nekov: Portico Quartet
First impression: Quite ethereal and dreamy yet focused and memorable
I have actually checked out a few songs from these guys but it was years ago, from a different record, and I don't remember much anyway - this is definitely quite up my alley these days. I love how the music just ebbs and flows, instruments come and go yet nothing feels out of place, like the sax and strings on Objects to Place in a Tomb or the very pleasing percussion and synths on Beyond Dialogue. I also like how each song has a different structure and almost sort of an improvisational vibe.
Very chill tunes to study and relax to, yet with enough substance and personality to make them memorable.
4/5
The Walrus: Johansonn
First impression: I'm sort of struggling with this one
I mean, these are ok jams, but not ones I find terribly original. They're fun for sure, and quite funky. But I don't find any of this very memorable either, there are no wow moments or melodies I can recall easily. It all feels very meandering and not in a very good way. It kind of just... is. I dunno, maybe I'm kinda hard to please with my instrumental jams, sorry.
3/5
Puppies_On_Acid: Höstsonaten
First impression: Bored me at first but it's slowly growing on me a bit
More jam music! Yeah I was sort of bored with these tunes on a first listen but now I've warmed up a bit to them. I like the variety of synths here, and whenever the guitar makes a cool solo, like in Prelude of an Elegy and Outside. There also some cool wind instruments here and there. I also like how you decided to theme your submissions based on the seasons, although there seems to be an outsider - Outside feels like something from a springy Mario Kart track instead of cold winter, come on :lol.
Cool tunes, nothing mindblowing here but pretty nice tracks.
3.5/5
Buddyhunter1: Baroness
First impression: More interesting that what I expected from them
Yeah I wasn't the biggest fan of Blue, so I was curious to see how these newer tracks performed. To get it out of the way, let me say the production is terrible. Like, compressed as hell :lol. Anyway, the songs are pretty cool and catchy, I like the progression and use of synths in Shock Me, the layered guitars of Tourniquet, and the relaxed atmosphere at the beginning of Chlorine & Wine. They all are interesting and have good riffs, but I feel there's something missing in order to wow me and make them really standout from most stoner / sludge music other than having a unique style.
Cool stuff, I don't really get the hype for the band though.
3.5/5
-
Yeah! Above average baby! :lol
I'm glad I was not wrong about that kind of music being your thing. I know I sent a couple of songs from the same album but I encourage you to check them out, they actually have some variance from record to record.
Now, to finish the EP
-
m i d d l e o f t h e r o a d
-
gotta be honest i don't think i've ever once even noticed the vocals on senza like yeah they're there but they're so buried in the mix :lol
fair tho. i've got a 2.5, a 3, a 3.5, and a 4. time to get either a 2.0 or a 4.5 to complete my straight
-
Sadly, totally expected that
Not sure what I have planned for my EP is gonna work but I'll probably be knocked out after one, so, I'm leaning into it hard
edit: okay sent! organized it and named it on a total whim so hopefully the flow works, not writing up a concept or story, but it should be somewhat cohesive
-
Should we be sending EPs already? Mine's all set as well.
-
idk, I sent mine because I'm probably gonna be the first out lol
-

I'll definitely check that album out and maybe more stuff by them.
gotta be honest i don't think i've ever once even noticed the vocals on senza like yeah they're there but they're so buried in the mix :lol
Yeah maybe we just have different audio setups, I've got some studio headphones so I could notice the vocals quite clearly :lol
Sadly, totally expected that
Why did you send it then :lol
Should we be sending EPs already? Mine's all set as well.
Send it if you've got it ready, there's no rush until all results are out.

So, next round is the EP? Does everyone send one or only the top however-so-many?

Everybody sends! Rules in the third post.

Results 2/3
Anguyen92: Owl City
First impression: Got some lovely production but also some cliched melodies and lyrics
I think I prefer the first tracks a bit better than the other ones. The Technicolor Phase has some really lovely synths (I'm really a sucker for those retro sounds) and the atmosphere is very lush and fun, and the processed vocals work quite well, it's definitely my favorite of your submissions so far. Vanilla Twilight goes in a similar fashion, albeit with some silly lyrics which I don't mind, they're innofensive, and the same happens with I Hope You Think of Me. Beautiful Times I feels I've heard it somewhere? Or maybe it's the sound presents that feel like typical Youtube background music. It's nice anyway, and I like Lindsey's contribution here. Up All Night is alright, I like the guitar sounds and the pianos, but am not a big fan of the cliched lyrics.
I feel maybe I'd be more into these guys had I started to listen to them back when these songs were released, as the lyrics and part of the music feel geared towards a younger audience. But they're all pretty fine tunes.
3.5/5
Stadler: The Cars
First impression: Gets better with each track
Another sort of iconic band I've been meaning to check out for a while, nice. I feel this selection of songs just gets better with each track, as it starts quite nicely with Since You're Gone and ends with the climatic All Mixed Up. The former is quite a nice slow burner, I like the guitars, they remind me of Robert Fripp in sound. Then you have these lovely synths on It's All I Can Do and a simple but catchy chorus. Moving In Stereo steps up quite a bit, with these menacing synths and the singer going from one channel to the other, quite fitting, and other cool effects going on. But then we get to the real thing, All Mixed Up. I love how layered this track is with plenty of different sounds and how each chorus gets more and more exciting. I love the ending, when these lovely synths and sax appear, wished they had more presence throughout the other songs. Also this ends too soon with that fade, but I'm sure there must be some awesome live performances of it.
So yeah, pretty cool tracks here, been meaning to check out these guys for a while and it doesn't disappoint.
4/5
Shadow Ninja 2.0: Low Roar
First impression: I was sort of familiar with them but this is nice
I think somebody sent me a song by these guys in my first roulette ages ago, it was fine but never checked them our further. These are lovely, very atmospheric and layered tracks. They sort of blend together into one another so I can't really make a per-track review, but they all offer a very nice warmth, I feel like sitting in front of a fire in the middle of the woods. I feel the standout track is Friends Make Garbage (Good Friends Take It Out), with its very nice and subtle synths and the harmonica sounds.
I was ready to give you a rare and unique 3.5 but these songs have grown on me quite a bit, so have your 4.
4/5
ariich: Alkinnos Ioannidis
First impression: I'm not sure how to feel about this
Even after all these listens I still have a hard time recalling the music of Alkinnos. When I'm listening to it, it's fun and pretty varied, from simple strings-driven tunes to heavier tracks. I dig the mix of choirs and classical melodies with the folkier bits, and also the ocassional electronic percussion. I don't think it's a language issue, but maybe I feel the music, while not lacking at all, doesn't have anything to quite impress me. Maybe it's the vocal melodies that I find pretty boring? That'd explain why I can't remember any of them :lol.
So this is sort of frustrating, as some tracks are pretty good actually, but I don't really feel engaged enough to give this whole thing a listen.
3.5/5
Tomislav95: Villagers of Ioannina City
First impression: Quite a banger actually
Now for something a little less varied but that ended up growing on me quite a bit, from Greece as well! Although it's sung in English, nice. These tracks are pretty cool stoner rock mixed with a little bit of psychedelic rock, folk, and other genres, but still mainly stoner stuff. At first I wasn't very impressed by these two songs but I'll admit they're quite good, I love the riffs and how they integrate the folk instrumentation into the heavier parts.
Not much to say, two very solid tracks here. Time to get that EP ready!
4/5

Glad you found Owl City good enough to be 3.5. It's actually only a one-man band (Adam Young) and he brings touring musicians when he does shows.
Anywho, the stuff from the Maybe I'm Dreaming and Ocean Eyes albums (which the first two songs of my list came from) leans more towards whimsical and atmospheric spectrum of the catalog while the albums after that leans more towards the poppier/alternative side of things. Definitely suited for a younger audience.
-
I can't even put into words how thrilled I am you liked "All Mixed Up"; probably my favorite song by the band, period.

Results 3/3
kingshmegland: Rooney
First impression: Old-school yet seems to be slowly working on me
Yeah there seems to be a mix of old school and modern pop rock sensibilities here and although at first they stroke me as a little generic, I can't deny the solid songwriting beneath these tracks. Very solid arrangements, quite catchy songs. I'm not that big on some of the lyrics but they don't detract that much. The first two songs are the ones that have the most contamporary feel, and I Should've Been After You has a strong Boston vibe, in particular with those organs at the beginning. I think I prefer the tracks from their debut a little more, there's a bit more variety of sounds and styles for my taste - Blueside being my favorite of them all.
So, 5 pretty solid and catchy tracks. Well done.
4/5
romdrums: Jean-Luc Ponty
First impression: Kind of weird but interesting jams here
Oh seems this guy was in Mahavishnu Orchestra, nice! Although I was never quite huge on them tbh. Ok so there quite some styles here, and although RYM says it's mostly Jazz Fusion, I have a hard time wrapping my head around that, as these tracks are pretty varied. Compuer Incantations for World Peace is mostly synths and violin? It's got a pretty hypnotic vibe. Then In the Fast Lane is more fully formed with other instruments going on but still mostly synth-driven, it's quite a fun track. In the Kingdom of Peace goes into a more ambient direction, with just an electric violin? What's he even playing :lol. Finally, Egocentric Molecules goes into quite some Jazz Fusion territory, and it's pretty fun. Although the production seems to be lacking here, everything sounds quite flat, which is a shame since there's lots of energy and good jams here.
Fun tracks, none of them really blew me away but where quite nice to have as background music.
3.5/5
OpenYourEyes311: Switchfoot
First impression: I dunno, it's quite fine and well-written but I don't find it appealing to me
Yeah this is pretty fine and it's solidly written, but it also feels like most other alternative rock that came around that era, which is not a genre of huge interest for me. I quite like the use of bass throughout here tho.
I'm sorry I don't have much to say, most of these tracks sound pretty similar to give it a per-track writeup, but I like them all quite equally.
3.5/5
Elite: Brutus
First impression: Maybe it will grow on me as there's quite an emotional thing there
Female-fronted post-hardcore? Cool. I feel this should work a bit better with me, as the post-rock guitars paired with punk vocals sound like a good combination for me, but I find it's... just fine. Not really doing anything much groundbreaking or super interesting musically in general, which is fine sometimes. But the drumming is very flat and boring, and detracts from the impact these tracks could have, particularly in Horde V. At least the singer is quite intense, I like her.
So yeah, these are just ok songs that I'm afraid couldn't grow on me.
3/5
TAC: Joan Osborne
First impression: Most of these are nice, but there's a big dud here
Yeah I'm not a fan of One of Us at all, sorry :lol. It's got pretty lame lyrics and quite mediocre music. But the rest of the songs are quite nice: I like the groove of Ladder, and its use of piano and organ, Pensacola has this very nice vibe and plenty of instruments that pop up here and there, and Man in the Long Black Coat goes for a more relaxed mood, quite nice ballad.
Pretty catchy tracks, kinda surpised you sent me this. Could have worked better without the corny One of Us, as the rest are pretty solid. Oh well.

But the drumming is very flat and boring, and detracts from the impact these tracks could have.
At least the singer is quite intense, I like her.
They're the same person! :neverusethis:
Seriously though. The noise this band makes with three people is quite impressive.

But the drumming is very flat and boring, and detracts from the impact these tracks could have.
At least the singer is quite intense, I like her.
They're the same person! :neverusethis:
Seriously though. The noise this band makes with three people is quite impressive.
Yeah that's pretty cool, thought they were like 4 or 5 people at least.
Cyril will beat my ep so hooray I've already done my last work
The Walrus can rest in peace now. Long live The Walrus.

TAC: Joan Osborne
First impression: Most of these are nice, but there's a big dud here
Yeah I'm not a fan of One of Us at all, sorry :lol. It's got pretty lame lyrics and quite mediocre music. But the rest of the songs are quite nice: I like the groove of Ladder, and its use of piano and organ, Pensacola has this very nice vibe and plenty of instruments that pop up here and there, and Man in the Long Black Coat goes for a more relaxed mood, quite nice ballad.
Pretty catchy tracks, kinda surpised you sent me this. Could have worked better without the corny One of Us, as the rest are pretty solid. Oh well.
I know the guy who wrote "One Of Us". We're not friends, but our daughters went to school together for a time (they're actually friends). I went to a school thing where the kids were going to sing, and I got there early. This guy is tuning this thing up that looks a bit like a big mandolin. So, I'll talk to anyone, and I go "oh, accompanying the kids?" "Yeah, my daughter is singing." And I'm "yeah, I play too; it's so much fun to see the people's faces light up". Full disclosure: I suck. No one knows who I am, and while I was in a band at that point (I was a Mummer, with Avalon String Band), I suck, and no one knows me, or has heard any of my songs. I just figure we're Dads, reliving high school glory.
So the kids sing, and at the end, the principle says "wow, those kids were great, and it's such a treat to have Mr. Eric Bazilion from the Hooters here to fill out their sound. I'm sure he's so proud of his daughter!" I wanted to die. They opened LIVE AID for Pete's sake, and I'm telling him how good it feels to play in front of people.
:tup :loser:
-
:lol damn that's an amazing story
-
Ha! Do you know the Hooters was Cyndi Lauper's band for the 1st album. Both Erik and the keyboardist Rib write and play with her off and on?
I saw her live at a free radio show and she was dynamite.
-
Oh great.
Hooters trivia hour!
-
You suck at it I bet.
-
I hope I do well in the EP round.
-
I dare you to say that tomorrow at the dinner table.
-
Sure,. My wife'll be.."What's an EP?"
-
:metal
I hope I do well in the EP round.
I hope I don't.
-
I know very well that I'm not going to match up well in the EP round, so I might as well go off the wall. If I can win one matchup in the EP round, I call it a win for me.
-
Yeah, I don't really 'get' how the EP works, but sure, I slam something together over the weekend. I have the songs figured out already.
-
My EP is finished and I love it!
Seriously though, I still want to know how the EP round works.
-
Just a fancy competition from bottom to first, I think it'll be easier to understand once we start it :P
-
OKAY SENT!!!
-
So basically, in this EP round, whoever has the lowest points, so far, has to win all faceoffs against everyone elses' EP to basically win this roulette. Am I getting it correct?
-
I think so :lol
-

That is what would make the most sense. :corn

:yarr
-
i still don't see how that's functionally different from "the best EP wins" but aight
-
It saves me from having to wait until all EPs are rated to start posting them :lol
-
I mean whoever has the top spot right now only has their EP be compared to only 1 person's EP compared those at the bottom that has to contend against 15+ EPs. It's a good edge to have after having the best score after four rounds.
-
I'm wrapping up my EP right now. I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. :metal
-
All right, submitted. I decided to go all over the place with various bands/artists. Don't think I can win a EP matchup, but ehhh. I enjoyed my time here.
-
I hope my EP will do well. I’m proud of the result :)
-
my EP was thrown together two months ago and roughly arranged into something that flows but i'll probably be out first and that's fine
-
EP Hangman when?
-
I've got around half of EPs already, I'll begin hangman on Monday with whatever I have. It will be massive :metal
-
Sent!
No idea what Lucas will think but I'm really pleased with my EP in terms of quality, flow and theme.
-
And Sent! :corn
-
I want to listen to all of them. I’ll post mine once it’s time as well.
-
And sent!
-
I really doubt most people here would like the style of my EP but I'll share it anyways. :biggrin:
-
Just waiting on 4 EPs, hope they're on time by tomorrow, but I'll start listening anyway and preparing hangman since it's a shitload of music :lol
I'll do 1, maybe 2 listens to everything, then focus on the EPs that are competing against each other.
EDIT: It's recommended your EP has a title for extra spiciness and another hangmanen, so in case you forgot to give it one, send me a PM.
-
my EP's title is Cyril's Magical Mystery Tour Of The Actual Worst Music Ever Created, In The Key Of C# Min-Major At 18.9 BPM Precisely (New! Funky Mode!)
-
My EP has a title
-
My EP has a title
Mine too. And yeah I'll also share my EP once hangman is done (or at least once all my stuff is solved).
-
At first, I didn't want to submit a title, but I changed my mind. Submitted.
-
My title is spoken by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
-
EP sent
-
My title is spoken by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"Get to the chopper!"
"Get down!!!"
-
:lol
It will sound like that. Or maybe him in Red Heat.
-
Ok it's Monday morning and I'm waiting on Nekov, Stadler, and OpenYourEyes311 :corn
-
Holy fuck how long do y'all need?
Sacul is it too late to make a new one? I sent mine a while ago so it's fine but at this point it almost feels like old hat and I want to play with making another :lol
-
Well if you can send it before the other guys, sure :lol
-
Frankly, I've been trying to get on with this for a couple of days but I've had other things to do and when I did have the time I just did not feel my head was in a place to put this together. At this point I think I'm just going to quit. Sorry.
-
I need at least another day; I lost my paper with the bands I've sent and the options to send in the future, and I can't access RYM from work.

This is where I'm at as well. This is currently not my top priority in life. Sorry dudes.
-
That's understandable dude, don't worry.

Ok I'm still missing Stadler's EP, so let's begin with hangmanen! I'll split it into 3 parts since it's a lot of music.

Ok I realised that scoring out of 20 was difficult and it also didn't change things that much so I chose to go with regular scoring and try quarter points and yeah I definitely should have had them since the beginning of the roulette, would have prevented the 3.5 madness :lol . Now...
(https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/forumavatars/avatar_1436_1558127461.jpeg) vs (https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/forumavatars/avatar_11167_1604893387.jpeg)
Cyril: GROOVE
Ariana Grande - no tears left to cry
At first I thought it was a bit too generic but with enough listens I realise it's only a bit. And while it's not terribly original, it's still pretty catchy, and I quite like the synths here.
3.5/5
Taylor Swift - Cruel Summer
Another track that felt a little generic at first, and while I still can't totally shake that feeling off, I've come to appreciate it more. There are some pretty interesting elements here, like the synthetised vocals on the right channel, and the lovely synths. It's also very catchy.
3.75/5
SIAMES - The Wolf
Now this one is interesting since I've listened to it once in a plug session long ago but never revisited it. Also these guys are from my country, nice! This among favorites of the EP, it's got a unique sound, lots of groove, and very catchy and layered melodies.
4.25/5
Dua Lipa - Break My Heart
The main bass melody here reminds me of another track I can't quite put my finger on, but with a different twist. Damn this has got style and groove, I think there's a theme here mnnn. I quite like the chorus, it's pretty infectious and fun, the but pre-chorus it's kinda generic for me.
4/5
Daniel Olsen, Jonathan Eng - Mine
I was about to ban this since I've played the game this comes from but since I never listened to the soundtrack on its own, I allowed it. Short but pretty sweet, sugar-rish synthpop like most of that game. Kinda wished it was a little longer and had more room to develop but it's pretty nice as it is.
3.75/5
fun. - Walking the Dog
After 4 roulettes, you finally send me fun.! So yeah this lives up to the band's name, it's a lovely little song. Maybe a little repetitive for its length?
3.5/5
Bruno Mars - Versace on the Floor
Oh so this is the Bruno Mars my mom can't stop talking about :neverusethis: . I wasn't expecting such a good synthpop track from this, I like how it slowly builds up and gets to this very nice climax with those uuhhh guitars I think? It's also a pretty catchy tune. I'll admit this has grown quite a bit on me and I think it deserves its score now.
4/5
OneRepublic - Love Runs Out
I've never heard of these guys and didn't know what to expect. Damn this slaps hard. Vocals kinda remind me of Depeche Mode a bit, but this one is pretty different, more piano-driven. Infectiously catchy, quite original, quite looking forward to checking these guys out.
4.5/5
The Weeknd - Starboy
This has grown quite a bit on me, I love the main melody and the beats are so good. My only complaint is that it might be a bit too busy at times, and not that engaging at first, but it definitely gets better and better as it goes.
4/5
Post Malone - Circles
Nice, catchy little song. Kinda feels a little generic for my taste but it's a nice listen as background music.
3.25/5
Flow
I think that with a different arrangement this would have made the EP even better, as you have a mixture of styles that change abruptly, like the first two pop songs followed the SIAMES or fun. feeling very out of place in the middle of the EP. Nothing too disruptive overall, but still a little confusing.
3.5/5
Final Thoughts
Very interesting EP, many of these songs grew on me quite a bit. Although our tastes in general don't tend to line up, I think that in this ocassion they did just enough to get you a good score. Thanks for playing!
Final Score = Song Average*4 + Flow + Roulette Score = 3.85*4 + 3.5 + 13 = 31.9
The Walrus: New Playlist for Make Happinesss Great Roulette Host Leader Sacul
Taylor Swift - State of Grace
More Taylor Swift! The drums and chord progression slightly remind me of Blackfield's Once but it's a very different song ofc. This is a pretty nice track, maybe a bit too long for what it has to offer, but it's catchy, and has got some sime but great drumming.
3.75/5
The Weeknd - Hardest to Love
I was about to check this album out but refrained in case you wanted to send something off it. Pretty cool synthpop tune, with nice beats and melodies. It kinda misses something to make it more memorable to me, but it's quite well produced tbh.
3.75/5
LeBrock - Runaway
At first I was a little put off by how synthpop-ish this was, almost to exaggeration, but I've come to embrace it. Catchy, bombastic, and pretty emotional. I dig it!
4/5
Britney Spears - How I Roll
Now I didn't know what to expect from her but this is definitely very interesting. Pretty creative use of synthetised vocals along with the unusual beats. It's also pretty catchy and fun.
4/5
Britney Spears - Till the World Ends
Now this feels a bit more in line with what I'd expect from her, and definitely nails that early 2010s vibe I miss so much. I like that it's pretty catchy and fun, although it's not nearly as original as the previous song.
3.75/5
The Weeknd - Blinding Lights
Now this track I prefer to the other Weeknd one. Catchier, more bombastic, with some lovely synths, and a great vibe overall.
4/5
At 1980 - Missing You
More synthpop! This one I feel ends up feeling a tad more generic imo, nothing bad, it's pretty enjoyable, but I feel no rush to check these guys further.
3.5/5
Future Islands - Hit the Coast
I has to look up the singer to make sure he wasn't in his 60s, he has such an old man voice :lol . This track grew quite a bit on me, I'm quite digging it on my final listen! Quite lovely and catchy, the guy sings with such a passion.
4/5
Flow
Seems you wanted to make a mostly synthpop EP, but also really wanted to include some Britney, which kinda ruins the flow you got going with Hardest to Love and Runaway, going from full synthpop to weird electropop is kinda jarring. But for the most part these songs flow well into each other and it's a pretty cohesive listen.
3.75/5
Final Thoughts
Pretty solid EP with only a couple of just nice tracks and a bunch of very solid tunes. I'm glad you wanted to rework it, as I gave your original a listen and wasn't nearly as cohesive and strong as this one. Thanks for playing!
Final Score = Song Average*4 + Flow + Roulette Score = 3.84*4 + 3.75 + 13 = 32.11
Congrats The Walrus! You win the first matchup, let's see how far you can get with your EP - the next matchup is against Aguyen92 and then Elite (I'm going in alphabetical order when there's a tie in roulette score).
-
break my heart very specifically samples INXS's Need You Tonight, yeah :P
and this is about how I expected this to turn out, works for me :metal
-
Wow. I'm surprised! I'm glad the retooled version worked better. There's kind of a loose story concept buried in there with the flow if you think about the lyrics and sequence of songs but I didn't think too hard about it. I feared you would hate How I Roll so that's a pleasant surprise. Good play, Cyril, nice batch of pop there.
-
Interesting scoring!
-
Good luck, Walrus. I opted to go for a JPop artist, instead of the western pop artists you brought, in addition with a country band, a nu-metal band, and two modern bands.
-
Not sure I understand the scoring. The original rules said score out of 20 + flow + current roulette score?
-
^^ He made a change-up.
Ok I realised that scoring out of 20 was difficult and it also didn't change things that much so I chose to go with regular scoring and try quarter points and yeah I definitely should have had them since the beginning of the roulette, would have prevented the 3.5 madness :lol. Now...
-
Okay, but with that new scoring system, it’s going to be impossible to beat all the EPs above you, since the previous roulette score counts for so much more now. Also, if you’re going to score separately, my EP will probably tank hard.
Oh well.
-
yeah it's completely and totally flawed in terms of scoring because now flow is half the EP score on top of the previous round score counting for more than the actual EP score itself but
hey, i'm already eliminated, i don't care :loser:
-
Yeah I don't really get it either but oh well :lol
-

Ah, ok I missed that.
Ok so on musical quality, the EP is worth the same as each of the previous rounds, but just an additional score for flow which is also worth the same amount. That's fine, it's pretty much what I did although my flow score was less dominant.
Although I just gave an overall score for each EP rather than averaging individual tracks, I can't really comprehend that way of doing things particularly when flow is important. :lol
-
Fellas, my apologies, in the rush of things I forgot to consider these things and the maths had made sense in my head for some reason :lol. I'll fix it now and use a scale out of 20 for the final result so the EP has quite some weight in scoring. This should make this round more interesting.
Although I just gave an overall score for each EP rather than averaging individual tracks, I can't really comprehend that way of doing things particularly when flow is important. :lol
I'd have ended up giving both EPs a 4 if I didn't average songs, that's why :P
-
But what about interlude tracks? They can still tank your average (:
-
Well just tell me which are interludes and I won't score them :P
-
Well just tell me which are interludes and I won't score them :P
All my tracks except for the highest scoring one are interludes :P

“Good Morning!" said Bilbo, and he meant it. The sun was shining, and the grass was very green. But Gandalf looked at him from under long bushy eyebrows that stuck out further than the brim of his shady hat.
"What do you mean?" he said. "Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?"
"All of them at once," said Bilbo

Anguyen92: Anguyen's House of Randomness
Aimer - Polaris
Pretty lovely and nice J-Pop stuff here, I like the use of xylophones (I think it's that?) here. Pretty catchy and easy to listen as well.
3.75/5
Aimer - Stars in the Rain
More J-Pop, this goes into a bit of a power ballad route with some rock flavour. I don't feel this is as original as the previous one, and kinda feels a bit by-the-numbers in its melodies, but it's got some nice moments like the synths at 3:30.
3.5/5
Zac Brown Band - Goodbye in Her Eyes
Oh some country / folk, cool. I dunno about this one, it feels very generic to me, like something you'd find in a film about the American countryside, which doesn't interest me either. I like that it gets a bit more intense in the second half and some violins appear but it still doesn't appeal me much. It's just nice.
3.25/5
Disturbed - The Infection
House of Randomness indeed! Now to some focking metal, right? Well, it's metal indeed, but it feels kind of uninspired and dull to me, mostly because the production is pretty lame I'll be honest. But it's also the main melodies and overall structure that feel so predictable and sort of boring to me. It's a fine song, just not what I look for in my metal at all.
2.75/5
STARSET - Halo
Alternative rock with some electropop leanings? Cool combo, definitely Anguyencore sounding. This one has a pretty nice energy and sound to it. The main chorus is a little derivative to me, but the rest is a bit more original and pleasing. I like the use of piano and strings here as well.
3.5/5
STARSET - ECHO
This one has definitely a better chorus and some cool synths going on. It's also better structured if that makes any sense, I like the variety in the different sections it has.
3.75/5
Nothing More - Fade In / Fade Out
I think I was sent a song by these guys in a roulette, but I'm not sure. I like the section at 2:30 when it gets a little darker and heavier, kinda reminds me of Alter Bridge I think there, but the rest of the song is very different ofc. The string use is pretty interesting wished it was more prominent but it works as it is.
3.75/5
Flow
Well, it's definitely a random EP and I think a change of order wouldn't have made much difference. There are jarring transitions from J-Pop to Country to Alternative Metal to Alternative Rock, and while I don't mind that when I hit shuffle on my playlists, it makes no sense for an EP.
2.5/5
Final Thoughts
Well you got some interesting tunes here, and as with the normal roulette, I'm afraid our tastes didn't overlap too much but I still appreciate you participating on this one. Hope you play in other roulettes and maybe even host one - I'd definitely play on it. Thanks for playing!

I'm tempted to just share my EP here, without anything about it having been guessed.
I believe it's a more fun listen if you have no idea what's coming :)
Anyone interested at all? :lol
-
I am interested in listening, Elite! :corn Gimme moRe!
-
Here's the exact PM I sent to Sacul. Since my EP is up next, I figured there's no reason why I can't share this :biggrin:
A world in turmoil finds two people attracted to one another, both unsure how to go about approaching the other. Though they are both looking for comfort, the world around them is in rapid decline. When finally they have no choice but to give in to their desire, knowing it might be the last thing they'll ever do, it's already too late. The applause of the realisation that the world as we know it ceases to exist, signals the beginning of the end. Almost 34 minutes of longing, against a backdrop of uncertainty, doubt and finally, the end times; here's the soundtrack to the impending doom, brought to you by different voices from the past, the present and the future. Travel back in time, hopefully we'll figure out how to do it right now.
I give you "The Dearest Things I Know Are What You Are": https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ag0Y0Zf-NtHtgZ01ko6w8wO4Y4kv7g?e=R3gDNj
---
While I really hope you'll enjoy this regardless, I'm not giving you the artists/songs list (and why I chose the songs!) until later. I want you to go in unbiased and I thoroughly checked your banned list to make sure there's nothing on there you'll know. That said, there is a possibility you might actually know something on here. Please don't mind, it took me a long time to get these songs together, both thematically and musically and I'm personally really happy with the result. Even if you do know some of the tracks, I hope you can appreciate them in a new, different context.
Enjoy!

Elite: The Dearest Things I Know Are What You Are
Andrew Pralow - Outer Wilds OST - Travelers
Very nice intro with the banjo and the whistling. I like how it slowly builds up and adds layers of instrumentation until everything meshes together, quite lovely. Makes me want to play this game.
4/5
Charlie Parker & Miles Davis - All the Things You Are
Some lovely jazz! I quite like the sax here, it's so smooth. Mile's trumpet also sounds quite nice. I like the main motif here.
3.75/5
TOTO - Pamela
A sort of funky and cool track about love. I like the pianos here and the brass parts. Pretty fun song, it's quite a vibe. So from the theme's, this is the guy's POV, confessing his love to her, nice.
3.75/5
Alanis Morissette - Uninvited
Another song about love but this time from the female perspective, feeling insecure about her feelings and closing herself. Musically this has a pretty grandiose energy overall that I dig a lot. A menacing aura if you want, with the strings and the distorted guitars.
4.25/5
Manic Street Preachers - IfWhiteAmericaToldTheTruthForOneDayIt'sWorldWouldFallApart
Some punk! Continuing with the story, I think this song just describes the world sort of falling apart around them, right? Cool tune, I don't have much to say as this style of music doesn't apeal me much but it's pretty listenable and fun.
3.25/5
Blue Oyster Cult - We Gotta Get Out of This Place
Now the guy tries to warn her about the world, or the place they're in, it's collapsing and should get away from there. All backed by some spicy dad rock :lol . Nice riffs and drumming here, I'm not a huge fan of thie style of music either but this was pretty fun.
3.5/5
Cartographer - 17:04 - Now Yours, Not Ours, Not Mine
The transition from the live audience clapping and the intro to this track is excellent, well done. This a cool post-rock tune, kinda takes a bit a of time to get going, but ends with a pretty satisfying climax. According to the story, this is likely when they both realize it's sort of too late for giving in to their desires.
3.5/5
Andrew Pralow - Outer Wilds OST - End Times
Another excellent transition here, there's some really lovely synths on this one. Short and sweet. Epilogue time, the world has collaped.
3.5/5
Flow
It's sort of weird, the first songs don't really go along that well musically speaking, and the transition between Andrew Pralov to Charlie Parker to TOTO is quite jarring, but the rest of the songs start flowing better and better, with the last two being a great combo. But it's helped by the fact that there's a pretty good narrative / lyric coherence so bonus for that.
3.5/5
Final Thoughts
Very interesting concept for the EP, hope I interpreted it correctly. Some pretty good songs here as well. Although you've been all over the place in terms of scoring, it's always a pleasure to have you in my roulettes. Thanks for playing!

And good job on the story interpretation, that's basically it; There's a little caveat with 'End Times', but that one will probably make more sense if/when you've played Outer Wilds, which you should totally play because it's an amazing and outstanding game.

Tomislav95: Spicy Instrumental EP
Red Sparowes - Alone and Unaware, the Landscape Was Transformed In Front of Our Eyes
I like the layered guitars at the beginning and how the main motif is slowly built and played around here. There are a couple of buildups and small climaxes which I enjoy, but wished this track did something else to truly stand out from most post-rock for the most part. The ambient section at the end is very interesting tho.
3.5/5
And So I Watch You From Afar - Set Guitars to Kill
From the get-go I feel this has a lot more personality, and it's been growing on me quite a bit. This track is lots of fun, from the riffs to the dirty and loud bass to the clapping. Lots of energy as well, I dig it.
4/5
Russian Circles - Harper Lewins
I think this is like the third time I've been sent Russian Circles in my roulettes :lol. It starts as a pretty typical post-rock affair but then some heavy guitars appear along with some pretty cool drumming for a while. It doesn't really stray from this structure and that's fine, it's a nice song.
3.5/5
Russian Circles - Youngblood
This one slowly builds up the heavy guitars and kinda reaches two small climaxes before finally erupting near the end. It kind of takes too much time to get there tho, and it's not as climatic as I'd have liked.
3.25/5
Russian Circles - Death Rides a Horse
Cool heavy riffs here, almost sort of a jamming feel but with a post-rock sound. The heavy ending tho took me for surprise, pretty good way to close the song.
3.75/5
Flow
Flow is pretty great as all songs belong to the same genre and sound sort of similar, except maybe for the And So I Watch You From Afar, but that shares quite a bit in common with the rest.
4.5/5
Final Thoughts
Well, post-rock is complicated for me as I find most of it pretty dull and same-y, which is a shame since I've explored quite a bit and F# A# Infinity is on my top 3 ever. But you chose some fun tracks here and during the roulette. Thanks for playing!
Final Score = Song Average*4 + Flow + Roulette Score = 3.6*4 + 4.5 + 14 = 32.9

Romdrums: Floating Flashpoints
The Flashbulb - Monthly Colour
I like the quiet beginning with the processed vocals and the nice synths. There's a pretty nice buildup here, loslw adding layers and more intensity but keeping the peaceful atmosphere. The drumming in particular is excellent. Kinda wished it had a more intense climax but it's still pretty nice.
3.75/5
Floating Points - Last Bloom
This one has more of a background feel to it, with some nice and chotic beats. Pretty lush atmosphere, and lovely synths.
3.5/5
Floating Points - Anasickmodular
Some of the sounds here sort of remind me of Autechre, but of course this goes into a very different direction, with those uuhhh synths? Strings? I don't know what instrument that is but damn it got really nice at the middle.
4/5
The Flashbulb - Nextless
More flashbulb! This one seems to continue where Monthly Colour left. It feels almost like the OST to a cool videogame, sort of reminds me of Ed Harrison's Neotokyo (check it out of you haven't, amazing album). There's a nice progression here, changing ideas constantly, and ending with some cool vocals.
3.75/5
The Flashbulb - Fbox
I like the interplay between the drum machine and the synths here, makes for a pretty fun track, even if it gets a little tiring at the end, but it's a short track so I don't mind that much.
3.5/5
Floating Points - LexAlpx
Very cool beginning with the dirty bass dominating the main melody, and the drums panning from one channel to the other. There's also a very cool pad going on throughout, and some ocassional synths and vocals here and there. Pretty layered track, I dig it.
4/5
Floating Points - Bias
Starts in a pretty atmospheric fashion, then some drums appear. I quite like the snare sound, reminds me of some of the ones used in Kid A. I also enjoy how this track doesn't stay in one place and does different ideas and melodies while retaining the same beats.
3.75/5
Flow
I feel some songs could go a bit better together, like Monthly Colour and Nextless, but overall the flow is pretty good, all these songs are similar in mood and style, and that helps make it a cohesive listen.
4.25/5
Final Thoughts
Sorry for the short and lame writeups, I suck at describing electronic music in general :lol . Very cool electronic EP, I wasn't that huge on The Flashbulb tunes, but the Floating Points ones are pretty nice and layered. Your songs on the roulette have been pretty varied and exciting, and I've got some artists to explore now. Thanks for participating!

Puppies_On_Acid: Intervention of Self
The Reticent - Funeral for a Firefly
Kind of a tough listen considering the very grim subject matter, but it's pretty well realized. I like how dark and sad it is and then gets slowly more dissonant and the guitars come in and explode. And the ending is pretty nice. I'll admit I wasn't too keen on it at first, but it's been slowly growing on me.
Also, I accidentally listened to it on a Plug session with Ev but didn't think much of it back then, so I was a little surprised (and glad) you sent it.
4/5
Amesoeurs - Video Girl
I couldn't find the lyrics for this one so I'll trust you on the themes about finding a letter and uncovering who she really was. It's a pretty nice goth rock tune, kinda reminds me a bit of Type O Negative. Has a pretty relaxing yet dark and mysterious mood.
3.5/5
Julie Christmas - Bow
Now this is when things get heavy for real. I really like the main riff here, and Julie's singing / screaming is top notch. It's a very simple song but a very solid one.
4.25/5
Sinistro - Abismo
The transition to this track is so good I didn't notice until the last listen making this writeup. I had to translate the lyrics, but they seem fitting for our protagonist feeling it's in a deep depression, and the big and menacing guitars fit the abyss metaphor. Pretty cool song.
3.75/5
Crib45 - Last Breath
Another great transition, and a very interesting track, about our character fighting his wasy through the deep sadness he's in. Very heavy and intense, the growling is quite fitting of the struggle theme, and the riffs are solid.
4/5
Novembre - Reason
The final track, our character finds peace and joy in life again. Pretty positive mood here, cool and layered guitar work. I don't have much to say but I like it, solid song.
3.75/5
Flow
Brilliant, the first couple of listens I almost forgot there were different bands here, and even on this final listen, I'm blown away at how well these tracks fit together and form a pretty cohesive story. Well done.
5/5
Final Thoughts
Excellent, one of the best EPs of the round for sure. Even if I wasn't blown away by every single track, each was at least a solid piece, and they just flow well together. Although sometimes you struggled a bit to get to my appeal to my tastes during the game, you really outdid yourself here and that's worth having had you play this (long) roulette. Thanks for playing!

kingshmegland: Sacul is EP, EP is Sacul
Dada - Information Undertow
Pretty nice pop rock here: I like the enigmatic electronic intro and the bits with the electronic influence here and there. For the most parts it's a pretty cool tune, with a catchy and nice chorus.
3.75/5
Alanis Morisette - Hands Clean
More pop rock goodness! Pretty layered track, with the drum machines and the guitars, but maybe too layered - like damn, the production is really bad, everything's compressed as hell :lol . Although it's pretty catchy and well written, it kinda falls a bit into the generic side of things, and reminds me of lots of early 2000s rock.
3.5/5
Butterfly Jones - Sunshine And Ecstasy
Very cool jams here, I like these guys take on both 2000s alt rock and more classic dad rock with those vocal harmonies. There also some cool synths / almost electronic effects here and there that I find pleasing.
3.75/5
Robert Plant - Shine it all Around
I'm not the biggest Led Zeppelin fan, so was curious to see how Robert's solo work sounded like. Definitely different than what I expected! Some strong vocals here despite his age, and strong melodies as well. Bluesy but also slightly psychedellic, and plenty of energy. It took a while but it's grown on me quite a bit.
4/5
Dada - Star You Are
I think you've already sent me this song in a past roulette, oops :lol . It's pretty pleasing, with those calm guitars and simple but efective vocals. Definitely a moody track with some interesting lyrics.
3.5/5
Alanis Morisette - Excuses
I like the electronic intro here and when the guitars kick in. Pretty catchy chorus and plenty of layers here, although it may not save it from sounding a little derivative here and there. Which is not a bad thing but not really what I look for in music in general.
3.75/5
Butterfly Jones - Suicide Bridge
I really like this intro and thought it'd be a bit more string-driven in general, but I still like when they pop up here and there. For some reason it slightly reminds me of Porcupine Tree circa Lightbulb Sun, and that's a good thing. Pretty energetic tune, kinda wished it was a bit more varied in the songwriting despartment, but it's still very enjoyable.
3.75/5
Robert Plant - Ship Of Fools
Nice power ballad, there's a pretty intersting percussion work going on that give it a mysterious vibe. It sorta reminds me of Gilmour's solo work for some reason.
3.5/5
Flow
Pretty good, all the songs have a very alternative feel to them, whether they're from the 90s or the 2000s, they have common styles and fit well. Some transitions are a little confusing, but in general there's a sense of flow to these tracks.
4.25/5
Final Thoughts
An interesting and cohesive EP, with that alternative rock or old school feel that most of your submissions have had. Although only one song really clicked with me, it never became boring at all and was fun to listen to. It's always a pleasure to have you in my roulettes as your submissions are pretty varied and the theme restrictions here proved no burden to you. Thanks for playing!

Thank you Sacul! I enjoyed playing. I actually played the crap out of my own playlist. :lol I liked it LOL

King, I didn't take you for a Robert Plant fan; you made some good choices. I think I like his work from Dreamland to the present almost more than I like Zeppelin. He's really done some great things.

Thank you Sacul! I enjoyed playing. I actually played the crap out of my own playlist. :lol I liked it LOL
That's my problem with some of the EPs/albums I put together for roulettes. I still listen to the album I sent to Tim fairly often.
-
I'm glad I'm not the only one that does this!
-
I also sometimes do that for a bit once I've made an EP/concept album I really like. Definitely the case with this one.
Just looking back at some of my previous ones and holy shit, the concept album I did for Puppies' album roulette two years ago about a deadly virus that spreads around the world too fast to stop was uhhhhhh.... prescient maybe? :lol

TAC: Sacul EP
Maraton - Blood Music
The very first riff sounds pretty djenty to me but for most of the song it's mostly bass driven, which is pretty interesting. I'm not a big fan of the chorus tho, it feels sort of disruptive with the rhythm the rest of the song was carrying on. There's some cool sound on the guitars here and here, with a sort of almost electronic vibe that I dig. Vocals are ok, but feel pretty generic to me.
3.25/5
Branch Arterial - My Curse
Ok this is definitely more djenty than the previous track, with the low-tuned guitars and heavy bass presence. This is an ok track, maybe I'd have dug it more a few years ago, but to me it feels like a pretty generic 2010s prog metal song.
3/5
Misth - Future Calling
Kind of cool track with nice mix of heavy guitars and acoustic ones and lovely vocals. It feels pretty much prog rock / metal by the numbers though, with a solo included :lol. I don't have much to say, it's just fine but a bit too long.
3/5
Cereus - Ghost
It kind of takes almost halfway through to get to vocals for some reason, but once they appear it gets a bit more interesting. There's an interesting energy to the chorus here, which probably makes more sense in the album context, but it's enough to grab my attention for a while.
3.25/5
Marsyas - The Dance of the Archangels
The riffing sort of reminds me of early DT, at least at the beginning. Vocals are very forgettable for some reason. Pretty ok riffs and xylophones? Dunno what that is :lol. And this is a very long track for what it has to offer, with a meh calm section at the middle.
2.75/5
Postcards From Arkham - Happily Never After
Probably the most original track of the EP, I like the vocal harmonies at the beginning and the riffing ain't too bad. Drumming could be a bit more creative tho. I just enjoy the overall atmosphere, it feels like a closer track after an epic adventure or something.
3.5/5
Flow
Pretty decent, most songs fit quite well together as they're similar in mood and style, and there are no disruptive moments in general.
4.5/5
Final Thoughts
Well, you said you wouldn't resend, and at that point I didn't bother to ask either. This is pretty much a prog EP through and through, and there's a reason I banned prog: it just bores me, way more than the other stuff you've sent me in the roulette. I was very curious to see what non-prog you'd send me here but seems you had other plans. Anyway, it was fun to have you. Thanks for playing!

That goes for the entirety of my EP for probably everyone in this roulette, tbh
I've only heard Code Orange's most recent album and it took a while to grow on me but I like it. I'm indifferent to a lot of the more straightforward metalcore tracks but the more industrial and melodic ones are really nice; I particularly enjoy the three songs I included in the EP.

Code Orange - [deeperthanbefore]
Very cool intro track, sets the mood very well for the rest of the EP, and almost feels like a Poppy song and flows quite well into the next track. Tran...
4/5
Poppy - I Disagree
...sition! This is a very interesing mix of styles, it's got thie very cool industrial sounds mixed up with some djenty / a la David Maxim Micic guitars, and there even is a section that has strong Porcupine Tree vibes. It's also a very catchy track. Good stuff.
4/5
Code Orange - Who I Am
More industrial goodness. There's some pretty good riffs here and vocals are fine. For the most part it sounds a bit standard but the final section is really unexpected and quite cathartic.
3.75/5
Poppy - BLOODMONEY
The guitar work here is quite interesting, with lots of distortion, sort of reminds me of NIN's Year Zero. It's also paired with some calmer electronic sections and both flow well into each other. There's also a pretty cool guitar solo, nice.
4/5
Celldweller - Down To Earth
I really like some of this guys' tracks but not any of his albums enough. Excellent production here as usual, heavy electronic riffs, quite catchy vocals, cool synths. Although there are a few different sections, and the final one is awesome, it might be a bit too long.
4/5
Poppy - Nothing I Need
A much needed break! After such amounts of visceral metal, this feels fresh and not disruptive at all. Pretty nice electropop tune. I don't have much to say, it's more of a transition song that doesn't do much for me but it works very well on the context of this EP.
3.5/5
Code Orange - A Sliver
Another great transition here! This one takes a little while to get going but it's cool when it does come to the heavy guitars. Almost has a punk feel to it in the vocal melodies here and there. The beats are great when they do pop up and fit well with the rest of the track. The final section is pretty interesting and unusual tho, I like it.
3.75/5
Code Orange - Underneath
I guess this is the closest these tracks have gotten to metalcore, mostly on the harsher vocals. On the one hand there are some very interesting sounds here, on the other one the song feels a little on the generic side. It's cool enough and serves well as a closer, but it's not doing that much for me.
3.5/5
Flow
Fantastic, it feels like most of these songs belong together. Some of the transitions are very smart and well-made to the point it took me a while to realise it had changed to another band entirely sometimes. I feel my only criticism is that the last track feels like it wants to transition into another one instead of properly tying everything up, but that's a minor grudge.
4.75/5
Final Thoughts
Excellent industrial-ish metal EP, Buddy. Bunch of heavy songs, great flow, cohesive sound. Yup, it is one of my favorites of the round. Anyway, your submissions during the whole roulette have been very interesting and I can't wait to get into some of the bands you've sent me, mostly into King Gizzard. Thanks for playing!

Stadler: Melody for DAYS
Jellyfish - The King Is Half-Undressed
Off to a good start, with some energetic power pop with an old school feel on the vocals, kinda Beatles-ish. Which is fine, this is a very well-written song with several sections and a great sense of progression - I can see why MP loves this band so much. But for some reason, although I appreciate it a lot, it kinda fails to resonate with me and buy me into its sonic universe, that's why I can't score it higher.
3.75/5
Jellyfish - That Is Why
More power pop goodness: this track feels a bit more balanced than the previous one, which was sort of quite busy in the vocal department - here there's more room for the intrumentation to shine. Very lovely vocal harmonies here by the way. I think it's probably the Beatles heritage here that's culprit of why I'm not vibing as much as I should to it, I kinda wished it had a bit more of a distinctive style.
3.75/5
Paul McCartney - Jet
Speaking of The Beatles, now a track by one of their members! I'm actually familiar with asdasd but never explored the whole album so I didn't ban this. Lots of fun here, plenty of instruments come and go, from saxes to synths, to pianos, and maybe something else I'm missing due to the crappy production. Although it's a little repetitive in its structure, it's got an addictive chorus and it's overrall a fun track.
4/5
Jellyfish - He's My Best Friend
Things get a little silly and maybe goofy here, but also pretty busy and repetitive for my taste. It's a ok track that follows pretty well from the previous one, I'll give you that, but it's not doing that much for me.
3.25/5
Jellyfish - The Ghost At Number One
Here there's more emphasis on fun guitars and vocal harmonies, I like it. There's also a good sense of progression. I don't have much to say, sadly, it's a fine track, but it doesn't do anything out of the ordinary.
3.5/5
Harry Nilsson - Without You
A track I didn't care that much at first but it slowly found its way into my ears - it sort of unexpectedly became my favorite of your EP submissions for some reason, it's just quite an emotional track. It slowly gets more and intense in the chorus, and that gets me. Very lovely track.
4.25/5
Harry Nilsson - You're My Best Friend
Fun little song.
3.5/5
Flow
Pretty good, Without You serves as the climax of this old-school-styled EP, and that gives everything a strong cohesion. I found the transitions between the old and newer tracks a little strange but they kinda work.
4.25/5
Final Thoughts
The shortest EP yet one of the most effective ones, as it has one of the round's favorites. A little inconsistent in quality as I didn't find Jellyfish that appealing to my taste, mostly the songs from Spilt Milk. There's definitely a strong The Beatles vibe / influence throughout these tracks, and while I'm not the biggest fan of them (Abbey Road being the closest I've come to like their work, cool album), it works well enough for this set of songs. You've said there's probably a fogey part in me somewhere, that might be a little true as I've come to enjoy your submissions quite a bit. Thanks for playing!

Cool cool.
If anyone's interested, here's my EP!
Alright, so these days I generally like to have a theme or narrative to my EPs, and this is no exception. The EP is based on the real space probe Pioneer 11. It was launched in 1973 and was the first probe to encounter and send back images of Saturn. Eventually, it didn’t have enough power to continue to run its equipment, so the mission was shut down and it was left to drift out of the solar system although its signal continued to be detected until 2002 when it could no longer be heard.
I’ve edited it together as a single mp3 as I really wanted to make this flow nicely. There’s a mix of styles, including post-rock, electronica and indie, but they’re all (or close enough anyway) space related, tie really nicely into my concept and all have a spacey vibe that makes them work together really well. The final thing I’ve done to fit with the general theme is also have some symmetry to the EP’s structure in terms of style, mood etc.
Anyway, here’s the link, hope you enjoy it:
https://mega.nz/file/ASoSTYRK#1V-jR3ZH0fVfdMvGcVdBxHgC9atMCs9e40JRLvvPqTk
And here’s tracklist with approximate timings and a brief explanation of each track:
Ariich – Pioneer
1. 00:00 – 02:45 | 65daysofstatic – Escape Velocity
In April 1973, Pioneer 11 is launched.
2. 02:45 – 09:00 | Public Service Broadcasting – Sputnik (Petar Dundov remix)
As Pioneer 11 leaves Earth, it passes satellites orbiting the planet.
3. 09:00 – 13:05 | 65daysofstatic – Supermoon
A few hours into its journey, Pioneer 11 passes the Moon and leaves the Earth system.
4. 13:05 – 17:45 | Sleeping at Last – Saturn
In September 1979, Pioneer 11 reaches Saturn, the first probe ever to do so.
5. 17:45 – 22:30 | 65daysofstatic – Red Parallax
Pioneer 11 gets to work capturing images and measurements of Saturn. While doing so, it flies very close to one of Saturn’s moons, almost colliding with it.
6. 22:30 – 29:50 | Ott – Adrift in Hilbert Space
After Pioneer 11 passes Saturn, its mission is complete and it continues to drift out of the solar system. By 1995, it no longer has enough power to run its equipment, and NASA shuts it down.
7. 29:50 – 34:00 | Sleeping at Last – Hearing
In 2002, Pioneer 11’s signal becomes too faint to hear. It continues on regardless, slowly making its way to another star system.

Oops got sidetracked during the weekend :lol . Let's do this.

ariich: Pioneer
65daysofstatic – Escape Velocity
Quite lovely intro track, setting up the main themes of the EP. I love the gradual buildup and how it fits perfect with the theme of the probe launching into space.
4/5
Public Service Broadcasting – Sputnik (Petar Dundov remix)
Very interesting remix here, sort of reminds me of early PT but with a modern sound. I love the production and the synths here, it's so expansive. As a song that's almost 7 mins long it goes by rather fast, taking its time to develop and explore the main motifs.
4/5
65daysofstatic – Supermoon
The transition to this track is excellent, barely noticeable that it's a different band at first. I love the use of pianos here, and the intense drumming all throughout it. And the buildup is quite good actually. I feel this has got enough personality and very good melodies in order to differentiate itself from most post-rock out there, and that's quite a win for me.
4/5
Sleeping at Last – Saturn
I swear I didn't notice this transition until making this writeup, that's how good it is. I'm digging these strings at the beginning and how they keep going along with the vocals and the piano. Then going into this very lovely and emotional buildup that I quite dig. Wonderful song.
4.25/5
65daysofstatic – Red Parallax
This is probably the closest of the 65daysofstatic tracks that come to being sort of generic post-rock. Although it's quite an intense track, it sort of doesn't do much outside being quite loud. I like it for sure, but it's not grabbing my attention that much.
3.5/5
Ott – Adrift in Hilbert Space
Interesting you send me another Ott track - I loved The Queen of Everything from the previous roulette, but found that album a bit flat. This song is cool though, as I have a fondness for Psybient for some reason. Really cool use of vocal effects and beats in general, I dig the atmosphere. I feel as though it is a bit too long for what it has to offer.
3.75/5
Sleeping at Last – Hearing
Another great track by these guys, and what a way to close the EP! Quite emotional buildup here, and lovely use of vocal harmonies and bells.
4/5
Flow
Excellent, all these songs fit quite well together, the transitions are carefully thought out, the overall length is right, and the theme just elevates it.
5/5
Final Thoughts
One of my very favorite EPs of the round, it has a unity and coherence in sound only rivaled by Puppies' and Buddy's EPs. I feel every track up to Saturn was great, and afterwards it becomes a little less consistent in quality, but still ends up on a good note with Hearing. You've managed to send me some lovely post-rock I actually dig, and that's quite an achievement. I'll be checking out some of these guys and more of the stuff you've sent me throughout the whole roulette. Thanks for playing!

the dream is dead
Congrats Ariich!

congrats ariich!

So a must listen!

By the way you fucked up your math, his final score should be 36.22 not 35.22. So, extra congratulations ariich. :lol

Congrats, though Ariich. Nice job!

By the way you fucked up your math, his final score should be 36.22 not 35.22. So, extra congratulations ariich. :lol
Wait you're right :lol. There's still Shadow Ninja and home left tho but yeah congrats ariich.
-
I was sure I'd posted yesterday, but apparently I forgot. :lol
Anyway, awesome! :hat So glad you liked it. It's one of my absolute favourite EPs I've made and you're one of the very few people I could have made it for, so I'm glad it did well and especially delighted with the perfect flow score. :D I agree with you on which tracks are weaker than the others as well, all very fair, but they fit well with my theme and flow so I don't regret including them.
Shadow and home both have a 0.5 advantage over me, so it only takes one of them to do similarly well to knock me off the top. Crossing my fingers that neither manages it!

Shadow Ninja results later

Shadow Ninja 2.0: saculplaylist
Novo Amor - Birthplace
Pretty lovely intro with the piano and the uhhh things. It's got a warm atmosphere and plenty of instruments that come and go. Kinda wished it was a little longer and the ideas presented were devloped a bit more - gimme a good climax for instance. But it's pretty nice for what it is.
3.75/5
PVRIS - You and I
Quite a change of mood, from indie folk to synthpop. Quite catchy vocal lines, in particular the chorus has plenty of energy. I like the big, full production that luckily never comes compressed like it's usual with this kind of music. Pretty fun track, but I feel it sounds a bit too much like contemporary pop circa that era (2014) and that's not quite my thing tbh.
3.5/5
PVRIS - What's Wrong
Similar feelings here to the previous song. While I love the instrumentation that mixes synths, drum machines, and guitars, there are some stylistic choices that are too reminiscent of more generic pop from that era. But it's a cool track, and I quite enjoy the buildup in the second half when she gets to scream.
3.75/5
Frightened Rabbit - An Otherwise Disappointing Life
Now back to some folk again! I think Tomi sent these guys in one of the first rounds and they did ok so didn't ban them. And while this song has good stuff going on, like the vocal harmonies and the layers of instruments, and a very lovely atmosphere, it reminds me of plenty of other indie folk artists. Which is fine, but not what I look for in general.
3.5/5
Landon Tewers - Ma and Pa
Ok now this is pretty interesting. Sort of electronic music with clean metalcore vocals? It's an interesting mix for sure. The dark atmosphere is intriguing and the vocals go from being quiet and angsty to normal and it sort of works. Even after a few listens I'm still a little unsure of what to make out of this track, I kinda dig it, but it's prob too short for its own good.
3.75/5
Landon Tewers - Findlay
A pretty weird track, with very angsty yet restrained vocals and very dark lyrics about tragedy and being unloved. It's pretty hard to listen considering both the theme and delivery, and also the fact that it's a little repetitive for its length. But I dig the atmosphere, the sad pianos and the vocals going on in the background.
3.75/5
Landon Tewers - I'll Always Be Proud
Similar to the previous track, but I find the vocals actually a bit grating here. Which makes me feel a little bad since it fits the very raw lyrics, but I'm relieved when the clean vocals finally kick in near the end. Other than that, it's got a great atmosphere at least.
3.5/5
Novo Amor - State Lines
Another lovely track by these guys. Lovely layered production here, I like how the vocals and strings play well together, and in this case there's a sort of climax albeit very short. Yup this is great.
4/5
Frightened Rabbit - Break
Yeah I think these guys are just alright. Plenty of fun, but kinda lacking in character. Cool song tho, I like how busy things get towards the ending.
3.5/5
Flow
Or lack thereof :lol. This is just a bunch of random songs thrown together and that's fine in a playlist, but it makes no sense on an EP. Yeah it's a bit of a mess, and maybe with a little of rearrangement it'd get a little better, but there's no going around the main issue that all these tracks don't belong together.
3/5
Final Thoughts
I'm afraid I didn't like this EP as much as I expected, considering how well you've done on the roulette up until this point. You've sent some bangers so I'm glad you chose to join, I've got plenty to explore now. Thanks for playing!

home: Sacul Forgive Me, I Am a Ten
A$AP Rocky - Kids Turned Out Fine
There are some strong Gorillaz vibes here, mostly circa Plastic Beach, with the soft guitars and the vocal effects. Pretty melodic for a hip hop track, I like the main melody and the vocals go quite well with it. Some of the effects, like making the vocals a little slower are not that interesting tbh, but they don't detract much. Cool opener, kinda chill and doesn't really go nowhere, but it doesn't have to.
3.75/5
Flatbush Zombies - Afterlife
There's an interesting moody, dark vibe throughout this track I quite dig. The very melodic chorus is quite good and a nice change of pace with the great rapping surrounding it, I love the piano on it. Seems it was produced by James Blake, huh, that explains a lot. Pretty good tune, I'd like to dig a little deeper into these guys.
4/5
BROCKHAMPTON - J'OUVERT
I really dig that slow, pounding bass line that's present throughout the track. Pretty angry vocals here paired up with some more relaxed one. I quite like how complex the structure of this song actually is, how it slowly evolves over its duration, with different sections.
4/5
JPEGMAFIA - Jesus Forgive Me, I Am A Thot
Pretty short but intersting track. I don't mind the processed vocals, they fit the vibe quite well. Which is a pretty chill one with quite many things going on, yet I'm not finding myself too attracted to any of them. They're just good.
3.75/5
BROCKHAMPTON - NEW ORLEANS
Not as interesting as the other BROCKHAMPTON track, but still a worthy listen. Has more of an industrial sound here, reminds me a little of clipping. I think it's a bit repetitive for my taste, there's not that much going on for most of its duration tbh, and it kind of drags a bit imo.
3.5/5
slowthai - Doorman
This one is pretty weird, sounds kinda punk / noise rock with the vocals and drums. Kinda too repetitive for me though, I kept expecting this to blow up at any moment but it just kept circling around the same ideas and ends up with some cool voice recordings.
3.25/5
JPEGMAFIA - BALD!
Interesting sort of atmospheric d&b vibes, feels quite like a transition track tbh, as it doesn't do that much, but it's fine.
3.5/5
A$AP Rocky - Fukk Sleep
I don't get the very low ratings for this album, at least for this track - although this is nothing too inventive, it's pretty chill and nice. I like FKA's vocals here, they fit quite well the relaxed yet dark atmosphere of the track.
3.75/5
Logic - Dark Place
Pretty moody atmosphere paired with very personal and dark lyrics. The vocals on the background are a pretty nice touch. The rapping is fine, nothing special but not bad at all. I quite like the Alan Watts sample here, it fits well and I like its message. Kinda wished this track did a bit more, had more meat to it.
3.75/5
Flow
Pretty good overall, all of these are hip-hop songs of quite different styles but share sort of a similar relaxed or dark vibe. The only track that doesn't feel like it fits is the slowthai one, and it kinda disrupts a pretty good flow.
4.5/5
Final Thoughts
Very interesting EP! I wasn't too keen on it at first, but many of these tracks have grown on me, and I can say it's a solid set of songs. Definitely the sort of music outside my comfort zone that I was looking for with this roulette, and you've delivered plenty of that - got loads of stuff to check out now. Thanks for playing!

Yay, I was in the top 5!
Congrats (again) Ariich!
-
Yay! :D
Again, so happy that you liked my EP so much and that the effort I put in was worth it. :lol Thanks for having me, this was a very fun roulette and honestly the delays didn't bother me at all, I'm just glad I was able to send you a bunch of stuff that interested you (and I'm glad to have won as well, obviously).

I didn't even play and the delays bothered me :biggrin:
At least you didn't open your business and disappear!

Congrats Sacul for finally finishing this thing!
No kidding it's been a pain to get this actually done :lol. Next time I'll just have a normal 8-player-1-song roulette.
-
Ok so I've finally compiled a list of everything you guys have sent me that I want to check out further, and it's exactly 52 albums long. At a pace of 5 records per week, it should take me around 11 weeks, or 2 months and a bit more than a half. So, uh, thanks for all the music :lol :metal . I'll be posting updates here as I make my way through your stuff.
-
At a pace of 5 records per week
This seems optimistic... :neverusethis:
-
Yeah :lol. But that's not far from my usual pace in a normal week, so I'm confident it shouldn't take me more than 3 months, or 4 at most.
-
Congratulations Ariich! :angel:
Definitely the sort of music outside my comfort zone that I was looking for with this roulette, and you've delivered plenty of that - got loads of stuff to check out now.
Glad to hear that ;D

Whoops, forgot to give you guys an update as it seems usual on these things. So I recently finished two batches of roulette albums, and I'm too lazy to tag who sent what, so here's that:
Arcane Roots Melancholia Hymns
Quite a bit to digest here but I enjoy what I'm hearing quite a bit. Dense, heavy, layered and dynamic, this is some good stuff. 4/5
Lung Bottom of the Barrel
Starts off quite nicely but it feels like a one-trick record to me, having very small variations on their pretty unique sound. Which is a shame as I dig their style. 3.25/5
Architects All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us
Another album that I kind of get tired of by the time it ends, it's a bit too heavy and a little repetitive for my taste. 3.5/5
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets High Visceral {Part 1}
Yup you definitely sent me the best tracks from it, but the whole thing is still pretty good and catchy. Quite a fun record. 3.75/5
Fleet Foxes Fleet Foxes
I feel this is the blueprint for most of the indie folk that came after it, and that's not a bad thing, this is pretty good stuff to copy from. 3.75/5
Harry Styles Fine Line
On the one hand this is very well produced and written, on the other one it's sort of generic outside the two songs you sent. Wished it had more of a unique sound. 3.5/5
Backxwash God Has Nothing to Do With This Leave Him Out of It
Very interesting yet short album, quite punchy and clever use of sampling. Wished it was longer but at least I'll be digging more into her other work. 4/5
Porter Robinson Worlds
Yeah I really liked the songs you sent me from here, but boy the whole thing is just not as good imo. At moments it even feels pretty generic and is kind of hard to get through. 3/5
Grimes Miss Anthropocene
This was pretty fun and catchy. Not every song is amazing, but it's way more enjoyable than her past work which I could never get into. 3.75/5
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard I'm in Your Mind Fuzz
One of my favorites so far! Lots of energy, dirty sounding, catchy, it's banger after banger. Quite a fun ride, I'll delve into their other work soon. 4.25/5
