JAMESMAN ROULETTE 3.0 IS HERE
The rounds will be the same as last time. 9 rounds covering each year from 2015-2023 plus a final round to send anything from any of those years.
Remember, I missed out on a ton of music between these years. Get me up to date! I love hard rock and metal, but I really do love a lot of stuff beyond that as well. Harsh vocals should be well-suited to the song and not too much. I do like them but not always.
Points: I will use TAC's system as mentioned here: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=43449.msg3047697#msg3047697
Banned list: The following artists are banned. I might update this within the next few days as well.
Dream Theater
Thrice
The Warning
Devin Townsend (newly added from the last roulette)
Frost* (newly added from the last roulette)
Power metal (I'm kidding, but good luck if you send it :lol)
I am not banning any other artists, even if they were sent previously. After seeing Caligula's Horse become one of my absolute favorites from the whole roulette, and then feeling just okay about "Graves", who knows if trying to strike gold twice with the same artist is the best strategy?
As I have said before, longer songs are not my jam unless they are a few very specific bands. I will stick with the 8 minute mark as a limit, but I was a little loose with this last time and it worked fine, so try to hit that but going a bit over is okay, just don't get crazy with it.
Additionally, here is the link to my spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/highaerials36?si=73c6c42cf6484661
That link has a folder with all ten rounds from the last roulette, in case you want to see what was already sent.
Here is a link to my last roulette if you want to see how songs did from any round: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=58443.0

My butt is in here!
Same format as last roulette?
-
In terms of rounds? Yes!
Might not double the points in the end, though. Ariich sent me a, well, let's say it was a very emotional letter (yes, on paper) stating how it was unfair that he might lose to Litho.
-
Sounds like he killed a tree for no reason if you ask me.
-
Still in.
Also a list of songs that were sent in the last roulette in the OP would be helpful :corn
-
Ok in this time then?
-
Iiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn.....
-

Yeah, this definitely happened. :lol Not to worry, I think Tomi's was my only winning roulette. 2nd or 3rd seems to be the new permanent ceiling now, Luke spoke it into existence. :biggrin:
And because it's ineluctable now, congrats ariich!
-
Sent for round 1. Probably going to go for more lesser known bands this time.
-
I’m stuck at home all week with the Rona, so I’m in.
-
In terms of rounds? Yes!

:lol
Written with my favourite fountain pen and everything!
In to defend my title.
-
In.
-
If there is space I think I still have some artists I can send :corn
-
And sent... Intentionally tanking the first round so I can have a little freedom in my song choices going forward.
-
In.
Now to read the OP.
-
In if you'll have me! I think I have a lot of nice stuff to send and I didn't play in your previous.
-
Oh go on then, can't win my magic third roulette if I don't participate.
-
Spot open?

Woo! Just got home from work. Please check this list in case I missed you.

Sent let's goooooooooooooooooooo

James, as we have the same format as the last roulette, is there a chance you can post (on the OP) what was sent for each year, in the last roulette?
I would find it helpful to refer back to so I know what is off the table.
-
Sent let's goooooooooooooooooooo
Get off my back!!! It ain't Wednesday yet. :biggrin:
-
Ok, sent. Since 425 went MIA, I'm going to use that strategy here - only sending acts that I've never used before in a roulette.
-

Or just paste the link of the post revealing the scores. Or you lazy bums could take a few seconds and just do it yourself! Don't unnecessarily task a hard-working teacher and parent of two younglings - dude's gotta take care of enough brats without you all adding to his burden. :lol :lol
There's a compliment in there somewhere, isn't there?? :D

I just need Mr. Stadler. I am starting listening today! I will get hangman up soon (and I will add Stads later if he doesn't send by then).

First impressions yo
1 reaperkk We still vibing in this roulette. I dig it.
2 Puppies This is some metal shit! Wasn't expecting those harsh vocals at first though.
3 faizon This is prog metal through the eyes of a madman.
4 ??: This is a cool song. Some might even say cold. That said, the keyboards are great here.
5 lonestar These girls have fun with this music, it's so evident. Wild stuff.
6 jingle.god The energy here is good, the typical prog metal but it satisfies, and the instrumental in the middle is delicious.
7 ??: Thank you for keeping a song as metal as this under 5 minutes. It'll be a grower.
8 LithoJazzoCube Smooth and effortless vocals, didn't expect that instrument in the second half, though maybe I should based on your username.
9 ??: Short and sweet, beautiful guitar tones as you would come to expect.
10 TAC If you stay in this space this time, you're going to get higher scores, at least I would think.
11 ??: I want more stuff like this to balance out the metal (I love metal, but not just metal).
12 ??: I got a song by them in the last roulette, and it was a surprising grower in that round. I think I really like their sound.
13 ??: I definitely prefer the singer's other bands more, but this is still good.
14 Sacul Haunting with beautiful female vocals, gets me lost in it.
15 King DolphinsWhore Great atmosphere, this band can do a lot of styles!

#4 or 6 for Paralydium Project

You think the song is wild, the music video only adds to the ludicrousness..

1 or 11?

I initially ruled one out that maybe I shouldn't have. Could it be #8?

Wow, it sure does :lol
-
Just gotta love them...I mean who else could rock an ice cream cone guitar and get away with it :lol
-
Yeah, straight jazz doesn't feature violin very often, so the impression threw me at first, but you might think of jazz-fusion when you hear "jazz", and it's somewhat more common there. Of course the song itself isn't jazz, but I love the microtonal Indian inflections in that solo.
-
Probably 7 or 13. Although I'm not sure 5:00 technically counts as "under" 5 minutes. :P

Yes, I don't know enough to distinguish between the two, but it is smooth.
Probably 7 or 13. Although I'm not sure 5:00 technically counts as "under" 5 minutes. :P
My bad, I think I was looking at how long the song had gone on for (4:57 when I had typed it) instead of the listed time!

14 Sacul Haunting with beautiful female vocals, gets me lost in it.
Hell yeah, ready for bottom of the round again :metal

Oh right! What did I decide on scoring? I will update tonight.

So you guys would prefer just rating out of 10? I'm open to it. I guess I was wary because I thought that it was too open-ended.
And, out of 10, do some people not use decimals and some do? I actually am unsure since the time I have been back, I have only looked at my own and Tim's, both of which use the stacker.
I don't typically use the stacker though. I usually rate out of 10.
7.5...if I basically like the song. I'll rate lower the moe I don't like it.
8.0... if it's good
8.5... if I really like it
9.0...if it's fucking A awesome.
Those are my basic..steps. But from there, I'll use tenths of a point to further differentiate.
Here's an example of how I scored my 2023 round in my last roulette..
8.8 Wolfking Hellripper – Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags
8.7 Twosuitsluke Celestial Wizard – Ice Realm
8.6 Lithojazzosphere Conspiracy Of Zero - Ahthos Arouris II
8.5 Puppies Imperium Dekadenz – Memories… A Raging River
8.5 DragonAttack Robin McAuley – Stronger Than Before
8.5 Jingle Boy The Raven Age – Parasite
8.5 Crow Witch Ripper - Enter The Loop
8.0 Tomislav Paramore – The News
8.0 Vmadera Galneryus – Bravehearts
8.0 Lonestar The Hu – This Is Mongol
7.9 Ariich The World Is Quiet Here - Impetus I:Torrid Sands
7.9 Buddyhunter The Enigma Division – The Age Of Discovery
7.8 Kingshmegland Anasazi – Trapped
7.7 Romdrums The Enigma Division – Echoes In The Deep
7.5 Faizoff Peter Gabriel – Panopticom
7.5 Stadler Steve Vai – She Saved My Life Tonight
7.4 Elite Haken – Lovebite
7.4 Reaper Jakub Zytecki – Wait
I am basically going to do this for scoring. I suspect most scores will fall between 7 and 8.5 with a few above 8.5. I also plan to use the ranking engine to help me sort this out, because, like the current round, I like ALL the songs and the engine will at least give me an idea of what ranks against what, and then I can score accordingly.
I am stealing everything Tim does in roulettes.

Let's get this done today, results hopefully tomorrow (slow start to this roulette and a wacky week as well).
1 reaperkk We still vibing in this roulette. I dig it.
2 Puppies This is some metal shit! Wasn't expecting those harsh vocals at first though.
3 faizon This is prog metal through the eyes of a madman.
4 ??: This is a cool song. Some might even say cold. That said, the keyboards are great here.
5 lonestar These girls have fun with this music, it's so evident. Wild stuff.
6 jingle.god The energy here is good, the typical prog metal but it satisfies, and the instrumental in the middle is delicious.
7 Ariich Thank you for keeping a song as metal as this under 5 minutes. It'll be a grower.
8 LithoJazzoCube Smooth and effortless vocals, didn't expect that instrument in the second half, though maybe I should based on your username.
9 Stadler Short and sweet, beautiful guitar tones as you would come to expect.
10 TAC If you stay in this space this time, you're going to get higher scores, at least I would think.
11 ??: I want more stuff like this to balance out the metal (I love metal, but not just metal).
12 ??: I got a song by them in the last roulette, and it was a surprising grower in that round. I think I really like their sound.
13 vmads I definitely prefer the singer's other bands more, but this is still good.
14 Sacul Haunting with beautiful female vocals, gets me lost in it.

Ding ding ding!
-
Probably 7 or 13. Although I'm not sure 5:00 technically counts as "under" 5 minutes. :P
I'm doing my write-up for this and listening to it, and the progress bar lists the song as 4:59, so that's what happened.
-
Here are my first impressions! Write-ups are almost done, and I think the scoring will be more pleasing than the stacker. The lowest score is a 7.8 and the highest is an 8.8. The mean of the scores is 8.306. Write-ups by tomorrow night is the goal.
St. Germain – Forget Me Not ReaperKK We still vibing in this roulette. I dig it.
Enslaved – Building With Fire King Puppies This is some metal shit! Wasn't expecting those harsh vocals at first though.
Between the Buried and Me – The Coma Machine faizoff This is prog metal through the eyes of a madman.
Lonely Robot – The Boy in the Radio romdrums This is a cool song. Some might even say cold. That said, the keyboards are great here.

Round 1 Results!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lonely Robot – The Boy in the Radio romdrums 8.8
Gorgeous song, the restrained verses have great atmosphere while the chorus is nice. I get the Frost* vibes and, funnily enough, I like this more than the actual Frost* stuff sent in my last roulette. I really enjoyed everything about this.
Riverside – Caterpillar and the Barbed Wire King Postwhore 8.8
Ok, Riverside has been sent 3 times now and it's been gas every single time. This is very different than the other two tracks previously sent, and this one might be the best one yet, but maybe not. Still, I enjoyed the slow build of the song, it just hit all the right spots.
Dead Lord – The Bold Move TAC 8.6
You need to send more rocking stuff to me. It doesn't have to be this exact style, but I feel you might have a good reservoir of stuff in this realm. The emotion drips from those vocals, and the guitars and the band let that feeling flow. Then it rocks, and it rocks on. Even the ending, as simple as it is, finalizes the song nicely.
Eidola – Humble Ledger Tomislav95 8.5
I enjoyed how this song started slow and ramped up a bit. Its spot in the playlist was also great - there is a ton of metal right before it, which is good, but I like rock just as much (and maybe even more than metal). The guitar part at about 2:40 is smooth. I get some slight Thrice vibes as well, which will earn it some points.
Puscifer – The Remedy vmadera00 8.5
Geez, the tone of each instrument in that intro is the stuff. The good stuff. This song was stuck in my head a lot. Maynard is obviously just an amazing vocalist. I wasn't a fan of the cursing, I usually dislike that but it grew on me because the message of the song almost necessitated it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soilwork – Death in General Ariich 8.4
I really like intros like the one in this song. It lingers and builds into the main thing very well. The vocals have an emotion behind them that elevate this song. The chorus is really something else (I typed that in a good tone). I was keen on the harsh vocals at first, but they grew on me through the week.
Above the Earth – All Our Dreams LithoJazzoSphere 8.4
The vocals and music work surprisingly well. This is metal and...pop? But it's really good. The violin comes in so smoothly in the middle, followed by some beautiful soaring vocals. The song is straightforward enough, like a pop song, but with a good instrumental middle. Solid song.
Leprous – Third Law twosuitsluke 8.4
In theory, I shouldn't like Leprous as much as I do here and from the last roulette. But yeah, Leprous has a certain sound that I can only describe as "Cenobite metal". It's otherwordly in a way that feels hopeless and ruthless. It intrigues me, and it still is musically great to listen to.
St. Germain – Forget Me Not ReaperKK 8.2
This is some good stuff, especially under an influence. The artist description describes this music as house and jazz. I can't say that I know what that would sound like, but if this is it, yeah, I will take it. This also was a nice contrast to the metal, letting the playlist catch a breath.
Gacharic Spin – Music Battler lonestar 8.2
This song has a killer intro. I like the slapping bass, the keyboard sounds are on point as well. This was the first song on the playlist, and I like that the intro just said "we are here to fucking rock." I like j metal, dude. I don't know if it will ever crack the top of a list or score the highest, I think it has a ceiling on my end, but I enjoy everything you send.
Enslaved – Building With Fire King Puppies 8.1
This song is good, but I wish it didn't veer into the heavier metal parts. I don't know, it's a long song (in terms of my guidelines) and the harsh stuff goes on for too long for me to score it higher. But the parts around those harsh parts range from great to beautiful (especially at 5:30ish).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
David Gilmour - And Then... Stadler 8
I like the guitar over that ambience. It's some soulful stuff. It's a good song that does its thing, but it's not anything more than that to me.
Chelsea Wolfe – After the Fall Sacul 8
I always appreciate something different. It will always be hard for songs like this to get higher scores, though not impossible. It's got great atmosphere, and the dark music underneath is cool. And Chelsea is obviously talented and conveys the emotions well.
The Paralydium Project – Bringer of Life jingle.boy 7.9
The song is good, kind of standard metal but it checks the boxes above average. The music around 5:00 is the highlight. It seems the song could use something else to make it stick out more from the mold.
Between the Buried and Me – The Coma Machine faizoff 7.8
What a schizophrenic song. I think that is BTBAM in general, it's all over the place. I think this song is good, but this stuff sometimes feels like it is too out there for me. I appreciate the ideas, I don't dislike it, I just don't fully connect to it. I am giving a few extra decimal points (above a 7.5) for some really cool parts toward the end right before it goes back to the piano refrain.
Overall impressions: Every song was at least good and scored above a 7.5. Good start to the roulette. I enjoyed this playlist.
Also, I had never shared the playlist, whoops: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1hEJSwRdriwzfJ0y8ORm7A?si=d73b913358464cfd

Round 2 is open, send a song from 2016!
-
Aaaaand sent..
-
A decent enough start. That version is a reworked arrangement of the song from their 2012 self-titled debut EP. The violin is a big part of what makes it stand out to me, but if you're curious about a slightly heavier arrangement of it check out that earlier one, which instead has a cool solo from Nolly of Periphery, plus a few blast beats.
-
Sent for round 2. Technically speaking this will probably be the roulette debut for this artist.
-
Nice!!! I love that Riverside album.
-
Solid score :metal
-
So, I'm just going to give him grief here cuz he's my bestie... but fuck Joe - Riverside got a 9/10 in the 2015 round in his last roulette (ie, #2 song). Big fucking shocker it would score well again. I mean, I know you didn't play in his first one and all, and James explicitly stated re-sending artists was ok, but geez!
I'm just going to pre-shame anyone who sends Periphery or Oceans of Slumber this round. :P
Step it up people... send James new music he hasn't been exposed to - that's the point of a roulette!!!
-
I mean, Lune is completely different to anything else on that Periphery album so it would be a high risk strategy!
-
Chad, I didn't look at his last roulette before I sent my favorite song from 2015. Just got lucky.

I considered an Oceans Of Slumber song for this round, but then I noticed it received a 9 last time, and I didn't want to be that guy.
-
Apparently Joe didn’t mind! :D :P
-
Apparently Joe didn’t mind! :D :P
You bastard! Lol. I didn't even look at his last roulette! :lol
-
I'm literally just sending my favourite songs from each year that aren't already banned. If the band has scored well before then that's just because they're a great band.
-
It's tricky, because I want the good stuff, I rarely like whole albums by bands anyway (unless they are 1 of 15ish bands). Wasn't sure if banning stuff would be I want, and it's always risky.

Looks like I have 8/15 submissions, including Stadler! Please send by tomorrow if you can.

OK, OK, I sent.
-
Ah. I didn't know that.

Ok James...seems the Japanese stuff won't win me this thing, so I'm curating a list of some deep dive stuff, see if I can pull off an upset here. (still got one Japanese submission, I just can't help myself :lol )

You've made me a fan, but yeah, nothing may top the first one you ever sent (Thrill).

I considered an Oceans Of Slumber song for this round, but then I noticed it received a 9 last time, and I didn't want to be that guy.
Intentionally or not I feel kind of called out, since I sent an Oceans of Slumber song last time after one had already been sent a few rounds earlier. I had it planned from the beginning of the roulette already though, and was kind of annoyed when one showed up earlier. Can't say I'm shocked since the first one is one of their more popular ones, but the one I sent later is a different type of song and is always overlooked. Didn't score as well either, which is fine, I just wanted to put it out into the ether. I don't normally like sending artists that have already been sent, but it felt like a good time for an exception, since unlike most roulettes it wasn't banned, and since a number of people were doing it with other artists anyway. V2 was one of the few roulettes I've sent much DTF-core anyway.
Also, it doesn't even cosmically balance out since I lost 10 points because unknownst to me, someone beat me to sending the song I was going to send in one of the rounds. Duplicate artists later in the roulette, that's fine, two people sending the same song at once, absolutely not. :p

You'd probably only have remembered it if it had gotten a 9 or a 10. ;)

Have some impressions!
1 ??: DAT. DIRTY. ORGAN. Yum.
2 ??: Good energy, has a very old-school feel.
3 ??: I am learning there are a lot more female fronted metal bands than I would have guessed.
4 ??: I love a few songs by this band, I am hoping this one gets on that level, not sure yet.
5 ??: I thought I was listening to Coheed and Cambria. It's pretty good.
6 ??: Let's rock and roll! This song is grooving.
7 ??: Reminds me of old school Brand New, with a more modern sound or evolution.
8 ??: Synthy and 80s but feels modern. I think this will grow as I get more familiar with it.
9 ??: That is some of the most original stuff I have been sent between both roulettes.
10 ??: The music feels polished and the vocals feel raw.
11 ??: There are some beautiful metal moments here, the fast and high guitar riffs are mesmerizing.
12 ??: This is manly rock music, good workout music I think.
13 ??: This is what Dream Theater sounds like if you imagine them in a dream. Or in a theater...?
14 ??: This such light-hearted stuff compared to what is usually sent. I think I am good with it.
15 ??: Whoa dude, save some brutality for the rest of us! That said, that was a very cool intro to lead into it.

Motherfucker... I had them slotted for 2020...and why would someone not send Pisces for 2016...
Just to address this. I actually like I Speak Astronomy more. Pisces is great, but it kind of got overplayed for me and it seems to be the obvious pick from the album.

Fair enough... but at some point we gotta make sure James watches a few Pisces reaction vids...they are the best of them all.

13 is likely DGM
4 is either Cult or Alter Bridge. I'll say the Cult
Which leaves Nth Ascension as 1 or 2. There is some organ in there, and it's also got good energy and old-school vibe. Probably the organ one.
Which leaves Alter Bridge as #2.

Close enough!

I don't know any songs by The Cult (besides what dadler sent me)

Round 2 Results!
Volbeat – Seal the Deal TAC 9.2
When the chorus comes in, it takes what's already a fantastic song and just becomes elite. This song would be the 10 from the last roulette. The energy is all there and it makes me want more.
Volbeat – The Devil's Bleeding Crown faizoff 8.8
So I guess I like Volbeat :lol I also liked this song a ton and it's pretty much what I said in TAC's blurb. I liked Seal the Deal a bit more because of the build-up to the chorus and the release it gave.
Nth Ascension – So, That Was the Apocalypse jingle 8.7
Sometimes, we all need a nice instrumental to take the edge off. Add in some chunky organ riffs and (I think) on the low end, and it's just a fun song to listen to. You might be the instrumental king of roulettes, jingle dot man.
Djelmash – Incredible Litho 8.6
This song stands out for its sound alone. The music is tight in all facets. The vocals have a lot of raw emotion, which is what I was trying to say in my first impression. It is kind of otherworldly and grand, while feeling really honest in the lyrics.
An Abstract Illusion – Drop This Planet of Dust ariich 8.6
The intro for this is full of some moments where I go "Wow, that just sounds cool." There is a lot of atmosphere here among the metal, and it is a really good balance.
DGM – Portraits romdrums 8.6
Yeah, this sounds like DT in a way that isn't trying to rip them off, just more influenced by them. I dug a ton of this, the instrumentation was on top of the game and the vocals were good too.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bent Knee – Leak Water King 8.5
Between the different sections, melodies, and lyrics, this song is the most original thing I think I have gotten among both roulettes. That doesn't mean it gets the most points necessarily, but I wanted to point out that that alone stuck out. I like this a lot, it was an interesting ride every time I listened.
Anciients – Incantations lonestar 8.5
The intro is the sorta stuff I really dig. You know it's leading somewhere and there is nice build-up, into the full band playing in this case. It sounds kinda Mastodon-ish with the clean vocals, which I really liked. Harsh vocals were fine, and this song is great.
The Hotelier – Soft Animal tomislav 8.4
I dig the indie sound on this, I some Brand New songs and this gave me some of the same feelings. This genre isn't always my first choice, but when I find songs I like in the indie world, man do I like them a ton. This song is there, I like it a lot.
The Cult – Dance the Night Stadler 8.3
Fun song, it's simple and easy to listen to, and we need songs like that sometimes. I like a lot of the different little things the guitars are doing on the verses and chorus, this feels like a bunch of people having fun writing a rock song. Nothing groundbreaking, but a jamming good time.
Jinjer – I Speak Astronomy Puppies 8.3
First, really cool song title. The song is above average, I like what the guitars add to the overall mood, kind of like what Mastodon do on The Hunter. The woman is a great singer, she feels perfect for the song.
The Black Queen - Ice to Never sacul 8.3
This is a cool song, I dug the electronic sort of vibe the drummings and synth provided. Well-written and well-sung song.
Alter Bridge – The Last Hero vmads 8.2
I like a few Alter Bridge songs, specifically Blackbird, Before Tomorrow Comes, and Metalingus. This song isn't quite at the level of these songs, but it's still above average while definitely sounding like Alter Bridge. I didn't mind it when it was on, but it also felt a little bloated toward the end. Nice song overall.
Mandroid Echostar – Hypnos luke 8.1
It's a good song but nothing that sticks out to me. It sounds nice but also sounds like The Dear Hunter or Coheed to me, which are two bands that are very hit or miss for me.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Little Tybee – Loaves of Bread reaper 7.9
This isn't my full style. It's interesting enough that I wanted to see what it was about every time it came on, and it certainly sounds nice and not bad, it just doesn't fit in my wheelhouse so I don't know if I would ever rank it higher than this.

Well, after 2 rounds, Tim's already starting to create some separation.
Also, maybe I should RJ it up, and go all instrumental :justjen
Maybe not.
Will send by the end of the weekend. Got some 2017 sampling to do.

Wow, wasn't expecting that!

Oh yes, send by this weekend please! I have the week off for Thanksgiving (which actually doesn't change how much I can listen due to little kids lol).

Hmm, Tim started off strong but there are also 8 rounds to go.
I like instrumentals a lot, so I wouldn't be sad about that.
Wow, wasn't expecting that!
The song grew on me like crazy. You nailed it perfectly.

Since I constantly push Volbeat to TAC maybe I should get some extra credit in the score :biggrin:
-
So with that Anciients album, I was limited by the max time allowed...while the whole album is solid as fuck, hands down the two best songs, Ibex Eye and Buried in Sand are the strongest. I highly advise spinning the whole album, they're so good.
Sending now.

I should have done this a while ago, I'm making a playlist called "Roulette Extras" to add stuff like this. I added those two songs.

Djelmash – Incredible Litho 8.6
This song stands out for its sound alone. The music is tight in all facets. The vocals have a lot of raw emotion, which is what I was trying to say in my first impression. It is kind of otherworldly and grand, while feeling really honest in the lyrics.
So this was sort of a stealth second try for an artist I sent last roulette, David Maxim Micic. On the track you heard last time, "Cry", it was written by David, and Aleksandra Djelmas (Djelmash) did the vocals in the middle section, with Vladimir Lalić doing the vocals you didn't like as much near the end (and also nearer the beginning). On "Incredible", this time Aleksandra wrote it and did all the vocals and keyboards, with David doing the guitars/bass, programming and production. Good to see it worked better this time. Aleksandra and David's best work together is Destiny Potato's LUN, which unfortunately comes a year before the timeframe for the roulette, 2014, but is definitely worth investigating.
Sent for round 3.

Pretty sure I sent for round 3 already. Let me know if I haven't.

I did! Can't believe no one has sent a song from this album, in this roulette or the last!
I agree with you about Reasons. It's kind of a weird pick, and although I don't dislike it, there are way better songs and it could be kinda off putting.

Did Luke send Mastodon? A great pick :tup
Whoever sent PoS - wtf? Not nearly the best song on the album :o it could be my least favorite tbh, but I still quite like it. It's interesting, I'll give you that.
I did! Can't believe no one has sent a song from this album, in this roulette or the last!
I agree with you about Reasons. It's kind of a weird pick, and although I don't dislike it, there are way better songs and it could be kinda off putting.
I'm trying to send less obvious stuff in this roulette, it worked out pretty well so far.
And for Pos, I guess the sender had reasons, the reasons, these are the reasons, reasons to send it :neverusethis:

Round 3 First Impressions
1 romdrums Big post-rock vibes, the song has a good, natural flow with an epic closing. I love post-rock like this.
2 Stadler Didn't know this band was still making music, it's epic and it's good to hear that deep organ still lives with them.
3 ??: Epic and seems like a you kind of song. The guitar at the very end is *chef's kiss*
4 ariich I can tell this spacey tune will take some time to click, it's fine for now.
5 tomislav I like the inspiring lyrics and the almost late 90s/2000s hard rock vibe I get from this.
6 jingle I love synth in the beginning. Maybe I like this guy's music more than I think I would.
7 TAC No matter how you count it, 1-2-3, the vocal lines are interesting and this song is rocking.
8 Puppies One of the easiest listening songs ever in a roulette, even when it got energetic I felt a peacefulness. I enjoyed every second.
9 Sacul Reminds me of discovering and listening to them in the 90s, good times.
10 King The angst is in full force! That may appeal to me here but maybe not.
11 ??: The middle section around 3 minutes has some really cool stuff, the rest will hopefully take root.
12 ??: The vocals are loud, they drive this prog metal song.
13 ??: This guy can write some energetic stuff! Better than what I usually give credit for.
14 ??: This is a different side of a band that I know only a bit of (mostly one album which would be a top 50 album for me).
15 ??: You are reminding me that I love post-rock instrumentation. Nice short song with good atmosphere.
-
Well, #2 is clearly Deep Purple
I'll take #6 or #8 for Pariah

9?

Yes to both. And I just listened to Kepler Ten, and it indeed is starting to click.
Edit: Correct, Puppies!

#3?

3, right?

I'm slightly disturbed that there's a deep organ in there still. That's got to be uncomfortable.
-
Is it Steven Wilson's organ?
Speaking of which, To the Bone is likely #13 (victor)
Mastadon is #14 (luke)
Vasudeva has to be 15 (Kay)
making Iris Divine #11 (faizoff)

There's some really good shit in here!

4/4, nice job!

Interesting, never thought of the vocals as loud, but hey it's a positive.
-
Maybe just a first impression observation
-
Interesting, never thought of the vocals as loud, but hey it's a positive.
Listening now..I think with full instrumentation, the vocals seem properly mixed, but when they first come in, they definitely seem above the mix. That could've been the first impression I suppose.
-
I was also very sick on these and I was tired all day, so it may have stuck out more than it would have otherwise.
-
I have given each song their points but I want to give it til Saturday to get write-ups in and make any tweaks. Here are where the songs currently are points-wise in comparison to another song, but this could change.
NIN > Pain of Salvation
Worlds Away = Barock Project
Vasudeva > Mastodon
Until Rain > Iris Divine
Kepler Ten > Steven Wilson, Steven Wilson
Deep Purple > Kingfisher Sky
Nothing More > Mr. Weather
-
interesting.
-
I should also mention that the songs all feel about the same level, so the differences in scores will be low, with 3 notable exceptions. The mean is 8.41, the median is 8.4, the range is 1.3, and the standard deviation is 0.32. 50% of the scores are between 8.2 and 8.6.
11 of the 15 scores are between 8.2 and 8.6, and there are two below that range and two above. I used to teach stats so this is fun for me.

Deep Purple > Kingfisher Sky
This initially puzzled me since I don't see the bands as particularly similar, but then I figured maybe you lumped them together because KFS does use overdriven Hammond organ as part of their sound palette on occasion, like in that song. Then it also occurred to me last night that I forgot that their guitarist has guested with a Deep Purple cover band, so perhaps you were onto something. :lol
For a quick sample, KFS' guitarist Edo van der Kolk is the guy on the right with shorter hair. Edit: Was so focused on the guitarists that I just noticed that KFS' drummer Ivar de Graaf is on drums for them as well. Lol, this just gets "deeper". Edit 2: Looks like the two of them joined them for "Highway Star (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVrxRyUv-dI)", "Burn (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqhtGalOtqE)", "Perfect Strangers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3grg-AHaHOM)", and "Child (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuRn22xwasQ) In Time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQa7oBnkDcA)". Didn't realize I was going to learn this today. :biggrin:

Round 3 Results!
sleepmakeswaves – Worlds Away romdrums 9
This is some epic and feel-good post-rock, a nice journey that ends in epic fashion. I don't usually have much I can say about post-rock, but the feelings evoked were excellent.
Barock Project – Happy to See You Puppies 9
This song hit me from out of nowhere. So easy to listen to, it has a gorgeous proggy sound. The middle "instrumental" section is epic and more proggy goodness. Great flow, it doesn't feel almost 8 minutes long at all.
Nothing More – Fade In / Fade Out tomislav 8.8
The first 4.5 minutes is gold. I was in love. The rest is pretty good, and it's fine that the song meanders in that direction. Without the last part, this song is a 9. The lyrics are incredible, and the music conveys it just as well.
Vasudeva – Take Away ReaperKK 8.7
There's not much I feel like I can ever say about post-rock, so I will just say that this held my attention well and I enjoyed the positive vibes a ton. And you (along with another song) reminded me how much I love post-rock music.
Kepler Ten – Time and Tide Ariich 8.6
This is rock music made in space! I really started to appreciate this by the third listen. The distorted vocals and keys were great, and then the main hook still gets you a grooving song. Good balance in just over 5 minutes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mastodon – Roots Remain twosuitsluke 8.5
This is good stuff, I always like the higher register guitar lines Mastodon come up with, adds nice atmosphere. This song has great flow. The final few minutes are the best, and that piano outro is hauntingly pleasant.
Deep Purple – Birds of Prey Stadler 8.5
This song feels good to listen to. It has many little bits going on that I appreciate, musical or otherwise. It feels very open, lyrically and musically, very inviting I guess is what I would say.
Steven Wilson – Pariah jingle.boy 8.5
The synthy and acoustic opening hooked me pretty well to start, and Wilson comes in to set a good mood. The female vocals are pretty good. The facebook lyric made me do a double take, but it made sense contextually. The wall of sound instrumental is good stuff.
Nine Inch Nails – Less Than Sacul 8.4
It's good to know that Trent is still able to channel certain feelings not just through his lyrics, but the music. I love when that heavy synth/guitar (whatever it is) comes in on the "so what are you waiting for?". I like some NIN and this shows he still has it (at least as of 2017).
Mr. Weather – Kingdom TAC 8.4
The guitar opening is just metal goodness. I get a slight Megadeth vibe in some parts, which I like. It's a song that rocks and does a good job getting there.
Steven Wilson – To The Bone Vmadera00 8.3
This song has good energy. The instrumentation is nice and balanced, Wilson's vocals with the woman are good, just a fun tune. Much better than I am used to with him. I am not a fan of the intro soundclips, but luckliy it's short.
Kingfisher Sky – To Turn the Tables LithoJazzoSphere 8.2
This was an epic song, but some parts just aren't my style. The vocals, while obviously talented, did not do it for me. It did feel a bit bloated but not too much so, because the song has good flow between its different sections. I liked the quiet part halfway through, and the instrumental at the end is good and the song resolves nicely.
Until Rain – New World Fiction lonestar 8.2
I thought this was fine, it all sounded in tune with each other, and the music did a fine job. It isn't bland but it isn't a standout to me. I liked the recurring guitar riff that provided some tension, and the piano in the verse has a nice touch.
Iris Divine – The Acolyte faizoff 8.1
This song was good enough, there is some good riffing and parts that sound fun to play. I think the style of the song just didn't gel with me, I was a little bored by the end. But it isn't bad either.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pain of Salvation – Reasons KingDolphinsRule 7.7
I did not like this song almost at all. I am giving it a few saving graces because of the crunching guitar tone sounding great, the quiet part was pretty good, and the ambition to try a song like this takes courage - but it just fell flat for me.

Round 4 is open, send a song from 2018!
-
Well boo.
-
Oof, I thought that would do better. Oh well, sent for 2018. I think you'll go for this.
Now to find something for 2019.
-
Need to go back to Jmetal :lol
-
They were fine songs though :)
-
Hey James...how do you feel about instrumentals?
-
I love them provided they aren't boring. As I rediscovered from this last round, I love post-rock. Stuff that has atmosphere.
My favorite album of all time is all instrumental.
-
Ow, that didn't go so well. The irony is that I used it in my roulette for one round as an example song for my tastes for people to send things similar to, and "Happy To See You" was actually a song that someone sent back to me. Lol. Oh well.
Sent for round 4. Something quite different from most things I've sent before.
-
I love them provided they aren't boring. As I rediscovered from this last round, I love post-rock. Stuff that has atmosphere.

Cloudkicker - Beacons
https://open.spotify.com/album/6pJifLe3cKpf106OchxSvR?si=h-TLICsWROW6XK21Evk2eA
-
Funnily enough I was thinking of sending that NIN song too but decided against it. I love the Add Violence EP. It's my favorite of the trilogy releases.
-
8.5 for Steven Wilson?? I'll take it!!
Been struggling to decide what to send for 2018. Sticking with my strategy of sending an act I've never sent before, the pickin's seem kinda slim for something that will click with Jimmy.
-
I was looking at Cloudkicker. I have two of their albums in my Spotify Library.
-
Nice, I'm glad you liked it. That albums is good but check their previous (eponymous) if you'd like, it's a bit better imo.
Will send later, I have a dilemma.
-
Poop.
-
Deadline when?
-
Tomorrow night would be ideal.
-
Tomorrow night would be ideal.
I added a song to the Spotify playlist for the 2018 round. Spotify says the album was released in 2020, but that is incorrect. It was, indeed, released in 2018.
-
Sent, my dude
-
Thanks y'all!
If some need to wait until tomorrow, that's fine, I will be pretty busy anyway in the next 24 hours.

If you didn't note down first impressions on your first listens then I'd say don't worry about it!
-
Floex sounds like something a dentist would use.
-
Yeah, I'm good with skipping first impression.
If reaper didn't send VOLA, then maybe Amorphis?
A perfect Circle - Tomi?
Myles Kennedy - Tac?

Myles Kennedy - Tac?

Must be Stadler then! Not stadler lol

Is Chad Kingcrow and Tomi mewithoutyou?
Romdrums Rivers of Nihil?
-
I would've said YYNOT is PG, since he just outed himself in the Top 50 bands thread, but he ain't playin here. Puppies then?
Amorphis - Litho
Kingcrow - probably Tomi
-
I sent Amorphis to him last time, no need to do so again.
-
Floex sounds like something a dentist would use.
Isn't is how you cut your hair?
-
Do we have a playlist link?
-
I sent mewithoutyou but was thinking about Kingcrow as well. Would've picked the same song probably ;D
-
Link, my bad: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5W04xghCqLBynRWaEubCGL?si=4fbaeea13d384ff5
None of the above guesses are correct!

Stads is AIC

Bingo!
Floex sounds like something a dentist would use.
Isn't is how you cut your hair?
Pretty sure that's a Flowbee
And Floex is most likely Sacul

None of the above guesses are correct!

Aiming for results by Sunday, not having a good week at all in all honesty but still enjoying the music you all sent. Actually, it's been a bright spot for me this week.
I can confidently say that no song is below an 8, and the lowest might be several tenths of a point above that. Super strong playlist.
-
I’m not playing but I love how hangman is still happening…
-
Round 4 Results!
A Perfect Circle – So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish faizoff 9.5
This song is blowing my mind with how top-notch it is. It's perfect. Each transition to the next part is flawless imo, the vocal melodies are flawless, the lyrics are really interesting. I love the songs Lateralus and Vicarious, they are my two favorite MJK songs, this song will make top 3. Incredible.
Floex – Prelude I Sacul 9
Electronic music is very hit or miss with me, but when it hits, I adore it, and this song is in adoration. It's not a complex chord progression, but the build-up from the intro and the little things going on underneath are the little details that make this song exciting for me. You nailed it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alice in Chains – Rainier Fog Stadler 8.8
This song is just some good rock/grunge. I only know one other AiC song, Man in the Box, and thought that song was always cool with the soaring chorus. If I recall, this singer is not the same as the original. The singer does an incredible job here, he elevates the song, and the music has some cool stuff going on.
Structural Disorder – The Architect of the Skies TAC 8.8
Emotional prog rock that hits me in the gut. The production feels a little lacking, but the music shines in spite of it. The keyboards have a really cool sound with really nice riffs. This is a great song, feels hand-picked for me, enjoyed it every time it came on.
Maestrick – I A.M. Living lonestar 8.8
The album cover this song comes from is pretty good at describing my feelings for this song. It is colorful, bright, really cool instrumental sections. It has a great flow and no bloat. I hear a lot of influences here, I could pick out some Queen, Dream Theater, and Neal Morse influences. It's kind of like TAC's song in some sense, and the last sentence of his result applies here as well.
VOLA – Aliens Shivers romdrums 8.7
The guitars in the beginning remind me of one of favorite bands, Cloudkicker. I like the electronic elements and then the chorus is loaded with enough to get me rocking my head. I liked this, I think even more than the other VOLA song I got in the last roulette.
mewithoutYou – Julia tomislav 8.7
Brother, Sister by this band is one of my favorite albums of all time, possibly top 10 if I ever decide to rank albums in the future. This song, stylistically, is very different than that album, but I dig this a ton. The wall of sound and soft vocals are a nice mix, and the classic screams toward the end as the rest of the song does its thing are a nice touch.
DarWin – Escape the Maze KingDolphinsRule 8.7
What a unique song. The lyrics, which don't usually factor into my rankings, do factor in here, because those are powerful. The music itself is great, the chorus would get stuck in my head throughout the week. I happened to catch that there was a music video for this song, and that was a nice bonus. Good bounce back King!
YYNOT – Etheria Puppies 8.6
Talent at every level, this is an interesting song. The bass stands out to me, but there are some fascinating things going on with the drums as well. Vocals are great and guitars are as well. The song is a cool progressive rock song, every listen felt new which IMO is a good thing. I would find a new thing to like on each listen.
Kingcrow – Night's Descending Ariich 8.6
The song nicely creeps in with the arppegiation, vocals, and pads. It naturally gets epic, and it sounds great. It wraps up nicely as well, ending on some layered vocals and I am glad it does, anymore and it would have felt bloated.
Myles Kennedy – Songbird jingle.boy 8.6
Myles is a recognizable voice, but I didn't know that was his name until this song, so it when started playing, I was like "this is gonna be great, an acoustic song with that powerful voice!". And it was, this song is a nice blend of acoustic and the lightest of rock.
Far Caspian – Let's Go Outside LithoJazzoSphere 8.6
As seen last round, I dig the post-rock/indie vibe, rock with atmosphere, and the echo (I know there's a better word for this) on the vocals is great. I really liked this song, it was an easy listen, sometimes I want the crazy DT-stuff, sometimes I want metal, and sometimes songs like this are needed in the mix.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amorphis – The Golden Elk twosuitsluke 8.4
I like this song, something about this brand of metal is done really well with Amorphis. I don't know if it's the energy or the different melodies, maybe the keyboards, I liked Amongst Stars as well (and I did like that one more than this). Great pick!
Rivers of Nihil – Where Owls Know My Name Vmadera00 8.4
I like the low sounding intro, and the harsh vocals are the sort I like a lot. The parts that sounds like 5:08 are really cool, lots of energy on the low sounds while the high sounds give atmosphere.
Mac Miller – 2009 ReaperKK 8.3
This song is chill, didn't expect to warm up to it like I did. Nice intro with the piano and strings. He has a good flow and while I didn't dig the way he was rapping/singing, it grew on me and I could feel the "realness" coming through, if that makes sense. The part where his vocals get backed up is a nice, more subtle touch. With all this said, lightning might not strike twice with stuff like this, so if you send this sort of stuff again, it might not score as highly as this :biggrin:
Overall Impressions: Best playlist of both roulettes by a good margin. You all kicked ass. I liked every song and have little to nothing to nitpick.

-
Those scores really are packed in there!
-
For real, what a playlist!
-
Hell yeah finally near the top of the round :metal
-
I tend to forget who sent me what during the week, so when I realized how much I liked this song AND that it was sent from you made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
-
you made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
:blush :blush :blush :blush :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
:omg: Wow did not think the song would do that well. Really glad you dug it, it's my fav song of the album like you said hits all the right beats and notes and transitions. So catchy and melodic.
Don't think I'm going to match it again in the following rounds but will try. :)
-
Catching fire like that twice will be extremely hard, but doing it once is awesome
-
Sent a song I nearly sent (twice) last time!
-
Sent. Man, 2018 was close!

I believe you have all my songs for the rest of the roulette. :corn

Far Caspian – Let's Go Outside LithoJazzoSphere 8.6

I really liked this song, it was an easy listen, sometimes I want the crazy DT-stuff, sometimes I want metal, and sometimes songs like this are needed in the mix.
Tied for my best score in this roulette, still 4th from last. Everyone else needs to stop sending good songs! :D Could have been worse since it's a bit outside of DTF's wheelhouse though. I think the word you're probably looking for is "reverb".
-
Sent for round 5.
-
Glad you dug the Maestrick tune... it's actually a pair of concept albums with 24 songs, each representing an hour in the day. The second one is in production now.
Their first album Unpuzzle! is amazing.
I'll send tomorrow, I have a situation which prevents me from sending today. (I'll explain it in my DM to you)
-
Sent the best song of 2019
-
Sent the wildest and probably soon to be the lowest ranked song of the roulette :lol
-
I sent an artist I don't think I have sent in any roulette yet, but it's a song I enjoy very much :corn
-

Coldplay
Lacuna Coil-Litho?
The Comet Is Coming
The Space Between Us
-
I love their older stuff, but their output in the past decade and a half or so has gotten kind of spotty, so it's unlikely I'd send it.
The song is "Veneficium" though.
-
Been a crazy few days, just now starting listening but also writing first impressions.
-
Is Coldplay "Orphans"?
-
Yes sir!
-
Periphery - "Satellites".
Thank You Scientist - "Terraformer".
Lots of bands getting reused from the last roulette.

RPWL
Periphery / Satellites. Is dat RJ?
Dammit …. Ninja’d
-
Some reused, but that isn't always a formula for success. See: Caligula's Horse from Round 1 to whatever year Graves was released.
-
"This Space Between Us" is by "we.own.the.sky".
Unto Others - "Dragon, Why Do You Cry?" - TAC?
Rival Sons - "Feral Roots" - Stadler! Great song.
-
Unto Others - "Dragon, Why Do You Cry?" - TAC?
Jeez, good call.
-
Rival Sons is Stads.
-
Oh, there's another Unto Others, "Jackie".

Hey you're right.
That's a great album.

Yeah, a huge drop off from a 10 to an 8. With another 8 in an inbetween round for a third song, so basically always in the top quarter to third of the rankings. :p

1 This is Dream Theater if Jordan Rudes took over the band.
2 Old school feels and no shame in it.
3 Normally don't like spoken word type stuff over music, but this might become an exception.
4 Listening to this as the edible kicked in was like rewatching a dream and wondering what the fuck is going on.
5 It puts me in a soaring atmosphere with a voiceless rush.
6 It led me from a soothing journey to emotional peaks.
7 Instrumental section is really beautiful, I wouldn't mind a song of just that.
8 I listen to this and think I am dreaming of mythical beings.
9 I know other songs of theirs, and this is off from what I like about them.
10 How much music can one song hold?
11 Epic sounds to headbang to.
12 A stripped down Frost* sorta song with nice atmosphere.
13 A soulful voice for a group that sounds displaced out of time.
14 A smooth river to explore with no words to show.
15 A slow rock grower of spooky sorts.

The song I sent in the last roulette (Lune) might be more to your tastes. Not as stripped back as the first half of Satellites, but nothing as heavy as some of the moments in the second half.
I'm expecting this to be the only repeat artist I send this time around.

Coldplay – Orphans faizoff I know other songs of theirs, and this is off from what I like about them.
Thank You Scientist – Terraformer luke How much music can one song hold?
Lacuna Coil – Veneficium vmads Epic sounds to headbang to.
Lonely Robot – How Bright is the Sun? Puppies A stripped down Frost* sorta song with nice atmosphere.
Rival Sons – Feral Roots Stadler A soulful voice for a group that sounds displaced out of time.
Soren Andersen – Satori jingle.boy A smooth river to explore with no words to show.
RPWL – Welcome to the Freak Show King King A slow rock grower of spooky sorts.
QUICK EDIT: Is there a way to evenly space things out on here? I know I could try to find it but I don't have the time, and this post is sloppy.

Looks pretty evenly spaced out to me.
-
Can't really trust your impressions because that could still easily mean last place, :lol but that's an interesting way to think of it. Hopefully it doesn't mean the vocals weigh it down for you, but if the more instrumental sections are more piquant (and you could argue there's 2-4 of them, so I'm not sure which one) then there's other songs that you would potentially like more.

Yup. Gives me no clue how it's going to shake out. :lol

Tomorrow! This week killed me. By far the worst semester in my 7 years at this school. Starting tomorrow I am back to normal.

Take your time James, sorry to hear about the semester though!

Damn. Sorry it’s a rough one.

Yeah, sorry I was just trying to be funny, not rushing you at all :(

Round 5 Results!
Lonely Robot – How Bright is the Sun? Puppies 9
Grower of the round, I was driving home from work when this song hit me hard. The chorus is absolute perfection - what I mean is that the lyrics and music complement each other so well. The whole song is just excellent as well.
Periphery – Satellites Ariich 8.8
This song is really great, the first half is a open space of nice atmosphere. So many nice little things going on there. It pretty abruptly ends halfway through the song, and the heavier second half is a little jarring for the few listens. It grew on me a lot, and I got to pick out cool things going on there as well. With the jarring part and the song maybe going on a little too long for my taste, this hits a 9. It's still great and I looked forward to it when it came on.
IKEJIRIKE – Breaking the Limit lonestar 8.7
I get some cool DT instrumental vibes from this song, and other prog rock/metal band vibes as well. Maybe DT isn't what I mean, maybe Frost*, there's something that feels familiar here, maybe it's something sent from another round of my roulettes. Anyway, yeah I love this stuff, it flows great, everyone shines here
Ekcle – Within the Palms of a God ReaperKK 8.6
That first minute is intensely good shit. It goes into the electronic part which is cool but I am glad it doesn't go on for too long. Nice flow into the piano section. Three phases, 2 of which are beautiful and the third which is appreciated and cool. It feels like 3 mini-songs in one almost. It also reminds me of music I used to make in my 20s (minus the electronic part).
we.own.the.sky – This Space Between Us romdrums 8.6
A great post-rock/metal sorta song, as mentioned I love this sort of stuff. Great atmospheres and storytelling through the instruments. The ending gave some Cloudkicker vibes so that boosted this song a bit more for me as well.
Rival Sons – Feral Roots Stadler 8.6
Nice tune, a welcome simpler tune positioned nicely in the playlist. The chorus is just great, and the verse melody is nice. And that voice. Man. He's got soul.
Unto Others – Jackie Tomislav 8.5
Same rating as the other song by them, and for pretty much the same reasons. I will add that the chorus is catchy as fuck.
Autumn – Stacked Smoke LithoJazzoSphere 8.5
This is probably one of the best female fronted bands you have sent me yet, at least this song is. The repeating stacking smoke chorus with some great music beneath feels unique enough and grooves well. Song flows well, the middle section has a especially great atmosphere to it as well.
Unto Others – Dragon, Why Do You Cry? TAC 8.5
The vocals threw me off at first if I am being completely honest, and I wasn't liking them. But this song grew on me a lot. It got stuck in my head a lot. Really cool rock song with interesting lyrics and the vocals really make the song a notch higher once you accept them (maybe it's just me about those vocals).
Lacuna Coil – Veneficium vmads 8.5
When that epic operatic intro starts, I know what I am in for, and it goes well. The vocals keep going as the harsh vocals come in, and that is really cool. This could have been a disaster of song, but they did a great job making this song feel like a grand experience. The vocals on every part of this song elevate it. Also, love that this came right after the Coldplay song on the list, made me chuckle every time.
Soren Andersen – Satori jingle.boy 8.5
This was the first song in the playlist and it was a good way to start it off because it's easy to listen to and sounds great. I really like stuff like this, it's good for driving or working in my classroom during prep. The guitar leading the song throughout lends to a nice journey with no frills.
RPWL – Welcome to the Freak Show King King 8.4
Nice song, it has a cool vibe, I like that the bass comes through nicely in what I assume is the prechorus. It would score higher but it feels like it's missing something to elevate it to that next level. So, a good song, no complaints, but nothing stands out much. But that isn't a bad thing.
Coldplay – Orphans faizoff 8.1
First, I like Coldplay, at least the songs I have heard mostly. And the chorus is super catchy, it was stuck in my head a lot. But this might be a case where I like a band's older material and this new stuff doesn't quite hit for me. It's a fine song, has that Coldplay feel, it just doesn't do it for me like a song like The Scientist or In My Place or Clocks.
The Comet is Coming – Blood of the Past Sacul 7.8
I found the music to be pretty good, but for me, the spoken word part is just not my jam and the song felt excessively long. Sorry man, this one missed the mark for me.
Thank You Scientist – Terraformer luke 7.7
I don't know what instrument is making that sliding sort of sound, but it did not do it for me. It's appreciated for sounding like a cool idea but its execution fell flat. The vocals remind me of early Coheed and that is another knock against it. I tried to like this, and there are some things to like, but it gets a no from me dawg.
Overall Impressions: This was a sweet playlist overall, got some nice different stuff.
To talk briefly about why this round took so long, I believe I was battling some depressive thoughts the last few weeks. I love my job and the school I work at, but this year so far has not been it. It has felt like a constant struggle to keep up with the demands of my job, and the kids themselves this year are a lot more unruly than I usually get. I also don't get my planning period to myself this year, or the last 3 years really, so my room is buzzing with noise all day long, and coupling that with having two very young children who also love to make noise and have all the energy has burnt me out. Every day, I would hardly have time to myself or no noise until 8pm. Next semester should see some changes, and winter break will be a nice break, because I love my children but I was burnt out each day before they came home from daycare. The music you guys have been sending has been a nice outlet and something to look forward to that isn't anything I just mentioned. I still have 3 days of work before winter break but they are exam days and generally easier than a normal school day. I am already feeling the weight of this semester lifting off of me as these last few days fizzle out.
Standings
Soon...
Round 6 is open, send a song from 2020, and fuck you Covid! Please get them by Monday!

I'm glad you dug and Ekcle, and I really hope you have some great holiday time with the family, much :heart to you James.

My man, you nailed it. Some people think I am being selfish about this. But I teach 5 math classes in a row, which covers 3 very different preps. And then I have my planning, followed by a class of younger kids which I can only describe as herding cats that just drank caffeine. The teacher that uses my room is nice, she is a great teacher, but those kids get extra loud because it's an elective. And this is the third year in a row like this, while other teachers don't have to deal with it. They ALWAYS assign my room as the one to get used and it depresses me. It is one of the perks of being a teacher and it makes me not want to teach. Sounds petty, but you are right, it is underrated.
Can you tell how much I think about this? :lol
-
So, jingle.daughter is wrapping up her 7-week school placement this week, and she's experiencing some of the same, James. She's in a 5/6 split, and the 2-3 year period of COVID-era schooling really fucked up the development of a lot of these kids. Granted, the school is in low economic area of the city, but the literacy, (reading, writing, and comprehension) is WAY below what it should be for most. Not sure if that's kinda what you're experiencing, but I feel so bad for the kids that were in that 5-9 age range during COVID. Those are some pretty formative educational years for a lot of foundation building skills and knowledge.
Anyway, that's a lot of scoring packed into 8.4-8.6 (60% of the scores!). Glad we're giving you a bit of a reprieve, and hopefully we all give you another playlist to look forward to.
Guess it would be severely cheating to send something from Lonely Robot's 2020 release?!? :lol
Sending momentarily
-
Yes, I have a lot of kids from that age range now in middle school.
I just found out my school is one of the top 20 middle schools in Florida from last year's scores (or, we will be once they fix something about how they interpreted our scores from last year). We work these kids to the max. But I won't lie, I am worried this year about their comprehension. And the behavior is much worse. Homework isn't getting done nearly as much either.
Send whatever, I started these roulettes to get the best music out there. Plus, there is risk to sending the same artist.
-
It's definitely a DT vibe you're getting.. If you go to their YouTube channel, they've pretty much covered every DT song. Like, it's 90% DT cover vids.
I'll send 2020 soon.
-
Wow, I won the round! Glad you liked that song. That whole album is fantastic!
On the other hand, Thank You Scientist kind of got done dirty. I mean, that is their weakest album, but it's like an A- and the other 2 albums are A+.

Coldplay – Orphans faizoff 8.1

But this might be a case where I like a band's older material and this new stuff doesn't quite hit for me. It's a fine song, has that Coldplay feel, it just doesn't do it for me like a song like The Scientist or In My Place or Clocks.
Don't know if I'm in the minority or majority but as fan of Coldplay since Parachutes, I love their newer material a lot more than the older stuff. I like how they do a commercial poppy record followed by a very different type of record the past few album cycles. This cycle was that non poppy mainstream one but still had some poppy tracks.

I saw them live supporting other bands, but they didn't quite click enough to ban, so Crow managed to sneak them into my roulette. Loved "Fast Worms", but still haven't gotten to more of their catalog to get to the point where I could consider sending them myself.
Phoebe Bridgers might be Sacul.

King (Kansas – Throwing Mountains) Classic band with a modern sound, I only know one song by them but they sound just like that old song.
2. Feels like a country song but this ain't bad, partner.
3. Fun instrumental, very clean guitar tone. Feels happy.
TAC (The Reticent – Stage 3: The Palliative Breath) I hate the topic of this song - it saddens me to the core, and how it can strike anyone. So this will be a hard listen every time. Music is pretty good though.
Puppies! (Airbag – Sunsets) I like the feel of this prog rock band. It feels like a good blend between the words "prog" and "rock".
6. I will try, but this stuff is not my jam.
Lukaz (Phoebe Bridgers – I Know the End) I'm iffy on singer-songwriter stuff (or stuff that sounds like it), but I enjoyed ths one more than I usually would with that ending.
8. Quality progressive metal instrumental, nice and clean. Great tones.
9. Quality progressive metal, nice and clean. Great tones.
Litho (Daniel Tompkins – Stains of Betrayal) The metal and atmospheric bits on top, with the great vocals...this is one to watch this round.
Stadler (Ozzy Osbourne – Ordinary Man (feat. Elton John) This man is surprisingly alive and making new music even this far into his life. It's pretty good.
12. This song was over before it got started but it sounds like a fun metal instrumental.
13. Very light and airy, feels like a lazy afternoon song.
14. Vocals have a Maynard like quality that I like, the music is interesting, lots of movement and sounds that keep it interesting.
15. Yeah, this is heavy and dark.

Why not? I did get the feel that there is something more to this artist, but I haven't sought out why.

First impressions are almost done, and I am 10/15 for writing final results with scores. With Christmas Eve being tomorrow, I will hold off on results until Tuesday just in case I can't get on here. I should be on tomorrow but I don't know if I will have results fully done, because I am going to bed now and tomorrow I gotta do stuff to get the kids ready for a nice Christmas morning.

Definitely 6 😁

@ James. Kim Mitchell - both solo and Max Webster is most definitely rock ‘n’ roll. Max Webster toured with Rush in the 70s and early 80s.

Round 6 Results!
Arch Echo – Measure of a Life Ariich 8.7
I really liked how this instrumental had a lot of energy to it, and everything comes through nicely. I feel like I can hear everything, including so much tasteful keyboard sounds. It gets quiet in the middle and then rebuilds into some really great epic stuff again. Even describing it as I write this, I bumped it up because an 8.5-8.6 just felt too low. Even this score might be too low but for now feels right, I wonder if getting to know their stuff would make think even higher, if that makes sense.
Daniel Tompkins – Stains of Betrayal LithoJazzoSphere 8.7
The atmosphere of this song is in this cramped sort of space, and the song shines because of it. I don't know if I am a fan of TesseracT just yet, I have heard some songs and been okay with it, but Daniel is great here.
Intronaut – Cubensis luke 8.7
The music gets brisk at times, and it's quite a ride. There is also, I think it's the bass, doing some really cool riffs that the other instruments give you a chance to appreciate. Vocals are perfect for this song, gritty and dirty. The middle break is a nice chance to breathe before heading back into that great intro stuff again.
Airbag – Sunsets Puppies 8.6
The energy on the part where he sings "and the sun sets on everyone" is worth a few tenths of a point automatically, that is some good stuff. I really dug the synth section about 4 minutes in, so ambient but driving ahead, back into that nice chorus. The song has a good ending, if not just a little too long, but it's still great.
Alpha Male Tea Party – God U.N.I.T. romdrums 8.6
This is defined as math-rock on Spotify, which, I guess it is, but whatever, this song has a groove to it that makes it fun to listen to. Lots of cool ideas melded together seamlessly, it rocks hard but changes it up at will. Good hit.
Kansas – Throwing Mountains King King 8.5
I know one (maybe more) Kansas song, the obvious Carry On My Wayward Son. That is a great song. So beyond that, I didn't exactly know what to expect going in. This is a really cool track. Catchy lyrics, rocks hard and has great keyboards (I think Kansas are known for having a big keyboard sound, maybe I am wrong).
Pyramid Theorem – Closer to the End lonestar 8.5
Really cool sounds in this song, the song is really dedicated to that main riff but manages to make some great sounding vocals and variations of it throughout. Good prog metal that kept me interested and didn't go too wild.
Paradise Lost – Darker Thoughts Tomislav 8.5
I liked the intro, soft and brooding. It led into the heavier stuff with some really cool growls eventually repeating "God asks not to kill". These growls were very nice. Really, this song isn't always what I like but it did its job in under 6 minutes and hooked me more than I thought it would.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intervals – Lock & Key vmads 8.4
This is a fun instrumental. I love when songs like this have the guitar doing this almost chime-like thing when the heavier guitar pauses for a moment. It has a charm to it that I cannot describe other than "this song will be listened to by a small percentage of all music listeners". My only complaint might be that it goes on a little too long for not going into too many directions, but sometimes that is the thing about being an instrumental.
Kim Mitchell – Wishes jingle.boy 8.3
Another easy listening song. The production is gorgeous, everything comes through crystal clear. It's nice on all fronts but it's not going to score past 8.3 just because it doesn't get any better than it it is. Which is fine, it's a cool song and I enjoyed it when it came on.
The Reticent – Stage 3: The Palliative Breath TAC 8.3
Ugh. I have never been around someone with dementia, and my uncle, who was/is a huge influence in my life in my early 20s, is starting to fall victim to it (he lives in a different state now). I find the idea of dementia absolutely terrifying, and also, the person in the song's story has the same name as my son. SO, regardless of all that, I put my feelings about this aside and listened, and this song is nicely done to talk about this hard topic. The lyrics are perfectly done and the switch from acoustic to hard rock musically is great. The way it's sung is also great, especially "so the best of me is done".
Ozzy Osbourne – Ordinary Man (feat. Elton John) Stadler 8.3
Ozzy and Elton still making good sounding music in the 2020s, go figure. This was pretty good, they both sound good doing their thing, nice melodies and heartfelt lyrics. It just didn't fully grab me either.
Phoebe Bridgers – I Know the End Sacul 8.2
Another easy listening song, nice vibes and build-up. Didn't see that sort of ending coming but it felt natural, and lasted long enough to feel it fully come through. That said, singer-songwriter stuff like this doesn't do it for me usually, even with the cool ending.
Ethan Gruska – Maybe I'll Go Nowhere ReaperKK 8.2
It was a nice listen, easy enough with a few times where there was a small build-up. But songs like this typically get forgotten by me. It's good, it's inoffensive, but it doesn't fully grab me ether.
Sara Bareilles – More Love faizoff 8.1
Nice catchy song that my wife loved more than I did (I will play some songs from the playlist if they aren't harsh while we take a quick trip to the store). I find this style of music with female singer-songwriter stuff pleasant enough but nothing that is going to make me go "give me more", with very rare exceptions. Cool flow and lyrics, but I would ultimately not come back for it.
Overall Impressions: This round was weird for me. Nothing was a huge stand out, which is totally fine, and nothing was terrible or even bad, but I got some songs that were just not quite where I typically dwell. Still, nice round on the whole, some really cool stuff.

Round 7 First Impressions!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andrew W. K. – Everybody Sins - Luke When it's time to rock, we will rock hard.
2 Trippy and spacey, good for a high time.
3 This song isn't afraid to just do whatever it wants. A lot of contrasts and variety.
The L.I.F.E. Project – A World on Fire - jingle.human This song is loud and that woman is full of emotive singing.
Biffy Clyro – Unknown Male 01 - King This is real good, a mix of melody and crunching guitars.
6 This is chill progressive rock and I am chilling.
Khemmis – House of Cadmus - Litho Thick mix, Mastodon-like vocals (before the growls), great guitar atmosphere - this one is immediately hitting nicely.
8 There was an Alcest vibe in part of this, so I've got my eye on it.
9 Really sleek sound, reminds me of DTP kinda.
Iron Maiden – The Writing on the Wall - faizoff Nothing surprising from a very famous band, but it still hits good.
11 Not what I expected from a band that got pretty big in my teenage years (20 years ago), more otherworldly than just dealing with the pain.
12 I enjoyed getting lost in this static awe.
13 Groovy and harsh, a good mix of the two.
14 A song about covid and the progress made since?
Cheap Trick – The Summer Looks Good on You - stadler A nice song for the warmer times, driving to the beach and just letting this blast.
-
5 or 13?

5 or 13?

I'll guess The L.I.F.E. Project is 1 or 4
10 has got to be Iron Maiden
15 is Cheap Trick.

#7?

1 my dude

Try again!
I'll guess The L.I.F.E. Project is 1 or 4
10 has got to be Iron Maiden
15 is Cheap Trick.
4
10 is indeed Iron Maiden, same for 15 being Cheap Trick.
#7?
Yes sir
1 my dude
Yes, party on!
-
5?
-
High five, you got it
-
The funny thing is that they don't sound Mastodon-like to me, but the rest of it made enough sense and more than the others to give it a try, heh.
-
3 or 12?

Others by No One – Where Stories Come From (TAQ) Really sleek sound, reminds me of DTP kinda.
I hope you like DTP! ;D
I know it's not exactly like Cosmic, which you sent me, but I was going for that kind of vibe with this and hoping it'd appeal to you.

Wasn't Devin one of his favorite discoveries of the first roulette this year?

I like the side of DTP that this sounds like!
I see the Cosmic vibes now, yum.

I know DTP stuff up to Epicloud, but didn't know his later works.

Looks like I don't have to guess which one is mine.
-
Big bump for the new year :)
Andrew W. K. – Everybody Sins (Luke) When it's time to rock, we will rock hard.
2 Trippy and spacey, good for a high time.
3 This song isn't afraid to just do whatever it wants. A lot of contrasts and variety.
The L.I.F.E. Project – A World on Fire (jingle.human) This song is loud and that woman is full of emotive singing.
Biffy Clyro – Unknown Male 01 (King) This is real good, a mix of melody and crunching guitars.
6 This is chill progressive rock and I am chilling.
Khemmis – House of Cadmus (Litho) Thick mix, Mastodon-like vocals (before the growls), great guitar atmosphere - this one is immediately hitting nicely.
Dvne – Mleccha (Ariich) There was an Alcest vibe in part of this, so I've got my eye on it.
Others by No One – Where Stories Come From (TAQ) Really sleek sound, reminds me of DTP kinda.
Iron Maiden – The Writing on the Wall (faizoff) Nothing surprising from a very famous band, but it still hits good.
Chevelle – So Long, Mother Earth (lonestar) Not what I expected from a band that got pretty big in my teenage years (20 years ago), more otherworldly than just dealing with the pain.
Low – All Night (Sacul) I enjoyed getting lost in this static awe.
13 Groovy and harsh, a good mix of the two.
Chevelle – Self Destructor (Puppies) A song about covid and the progress made since?
Cheap Trick – The Summer Looks Good on You (stadler) A nice song for the warmer times, driving to the beach and just letting this blast.

Oh, I guess mine is 14. Even though that isn't exactly what the song is about. The song was actually written in 2019 and is about science deniers. It was just coincidental that the whole covid thing happened in the interim.

Round 6 Results!
Chevelle – Self Destructor puppies 8.8
At first, the vocals felt a little buried in the mix, but that didn't turn out to be a big deal. This feels very evolved from the songs I was familair with as a teenager, like The Red and Send the Pain Below. Very catchy for a hard rock song, the guitar is pulling some serious weight in this song. Maybe a little long but that's not a huge knock on it, either.
Iron Maiden – The Writing on the Wall Faizoff 8.7
I only know one album by Maiden, and it's excellent IMO (Brave New World). This song is so epic, the musicians sound just as good as BNW, as does Bruce (who was in his 60s here I believe?). I don't know what else to say, this song rocks and the solo is also great. I'm ready for at least one other person tell me something about Maiden, so go on then :biggrin:
Chevelle – So Long, Mother Earth lonestar 8.7
Similar comments to Puppies with Self Destructor (your song was second of the two on the playlist), the only thing I would add is that I really liked the busy guitar under the soaring vocals. I did like SD more though, but it was close, and 8.7 feels right to me.
Quicksand – Brushed ReaperKK 8.6
This song hit nicely. I dig the mood the instruments bring, and the singer lays some nice vocals on top. Nothing crazy, just a solid song to chill to. The moodiness got stuck in my head quite a bit, I must say.
The Cyberiam – Wilde Things vmadz 8.6
This was really cool prog rock. There are some DT vibes, one specific part is at 5:21, sounds like a certain part of ACOS. The keyboards bring nice diversity, and the bass is mixed well and adds a nice layer that I appreciate as a bass player. The vocals are nice for this song, while not my favorite.
Dvne – Mleccha Ariich 8.6
You can pretty much reference tomislav's description for this song (this was the second Dvne song in the playlist), but this one had some more contrasts that I liked a bit more.
Biffy Clyro – Unknown Male 01 King 8.5
I know a handful of BC songs, only from the album Opposites, and some of favorite songs to jam on the bass. This song reminded me of those songs, except longer and more elongated. I think the intro felt a little too long, even with the nice organ sound and the guitar adding some good strumming. But overall, the song finds that nice Biffy Clyro groove I love and the singer gets more aggressive than I know from other songs, and that was good.
Khemmis – House of Cadmus litho 8.5
An unrelenting cascade of what I assume is more doom metal oriented music. I like that sort of atmosphere, and I like how the song ends as well, with a sort of soft whimper. I think the song carried itself well, vocals were on point. If you are wondering why it doesn't score higher, I couldn't tell you besides it just feels right as 8.5. Very solid song.
Dvne – Si-XIV tomislav 8.5
I enjoyed the soundscape this song has, I tend to enjoy atmospheric metal and this had a solid drive underneath. Vocals were good, and the guitars had some great layering throughout.
Andrew W. K. – Everybody Sins Luke 8.4
I would have never guessed this was Andrew WK, based on Party Hard, She is Beautiful, and Ready to Die (a song I LOVE). So when it started, I was confused but intrigued, and got an epic hard rock/metal song. It doesn't fully connect with me, but I enjoyed a lot, and the chorus is huge. I think it did its job, though, and didn't overstay its welcome.
Others by No One – Where Stories Come From TAQ 8.4
I think there is a lot of cool stuff here, vocalist is great, and the music has a lot of emotion. I think what gets me here is that one section will end, the next begins, and it didn't always feel cohesive enough for me to enjoy it fully. There is a part about 5.5 minutes in that remind me of Devin Townsend, with the "I'm closer now than I've ever felt" and then a big sound, that part alone bumped this song up for me. Maybe if I had longer to really understand it, this could be higher, but for now I feel comfortable with this score.
Low – All Night Sacul 8.4
I liked that this was toward the end of the playlist. It has that sort of feel, the playlist is winding down and this song just glides you through the static and ambience. Nice song, easy listen.
The L.I.F.E. Project – A World on Fire jingle.dot 8.3
The drum intro was nice. The energy is super high on this song. The vocalist is great, and the chorus is nicely done. I think it's just not totally not my flavor of rock/metal, while not minding this song at all.
Cheap Trick – The Summer Looks Good on You stadler 8.3
This was a cool little song, I appreciate your style that you send me. Simple enough stuff, rocking on and it's easy to listen to. This song isn't something that is totally in my preferences, and my wife also comments that "wow they only know two lyrics, but this song is fine" :lol The part about 2.5 minutes in is really awesome though, some tenths of a point for that. I get that Oasis vibe you mentioned.
Sleep Token – Mine romdrums 8.3
This song has some cool quirks to it. It all sounds just fine, the synths are good, but beyond that, this was not much for me. With that said, I wonder if I am missing something. I thought I read somewhere that this band is quite popular.
Overall Impressions: This round was as solid as could be. I felt that all the songs were solid, just varying in degrees enough to create some separation in points. Probably one of the most consistent playlists yet.

Man, the last rounds have to be some of the tightest scoring ranges in a roulette in awhile. I see ariich trying to claw his way back to the top though, he must be stopped! :)
-
Yeah, people are finding great hits for me. Someone told me in a message recently that I am tough to nail down what I like, but y'all have been doing a great job overall.
Also, I will update the results post in a moment, but I took a quick screenshot of all 7 rounds so far, in case anyone wants to see it:

Yeah, given how close the scores have been, no way in hell I'm closing that 2 point gap in 2 rounds lol
-
3 rounds, there will be one round at the end that is any song from 2015-2023. I think you don't have that sent yet.

Sweet, glad they hit the mark. Bracing for a heavy drop in score with this round... I took a chance, but just had to send this band.

Two rounds, or three rounds... doesn't matter. not going to outscore all of the top four by .7 for three consecutive rounds, when the spread between rounds is only .5 or .6.
Sending some bitchin metal, with a kickass video to boot.
-
Ah nice, I didn't realize we had the open 15-23 round again :metal
-
By the end of the '15-'23 round we could tack on a '24 round. ;D
-
I'm down, honestly! Vote, everyone!
-
I haven't listen to any new music yet, but I'm sure enough will pop up in a few weeks that I can come up with something.
Also, sent a new song for 2022, and my submission for the open round.

lol not for these guys... I'm done throwing J-metal at James, definitely hit a ceiling in scoring. May have one for the final round if there's no hope for me winning.

The funny thing is? I'm still sort of getting to know her, but honestly, I think if I told her what was up, she would say "call me when you're done". She's VERY chill about that kind of thing if it's not a true emergency.
In any event, I'm in. Sent it about 15 minutes ago.

Last day of winter break, so let's do this
Round 8 first impressions
1 A band I have seen live, with some of the most insane mosh pits. They're still writing cool songs like this.
2 A very slow builder, does that beautiful synth solo in the middle make up for it?
Jason Richardson – Sparrow jingle.boy Absolutely brutal sounds.
4 Cool textures and back and forth with the vocals, heavy stuff too.
5 How did a short amount of time accomplish so much?
6 Knowing a few of their songs, this has some of that same feel, lighter than I would think, but some old school feel.
7 Reminds me of the days in high school listening to metalcore bands with my friends.
Once Human - Only in Death vmads Rippingly brutal, so much energy.
9 Sounds like a Neal Morse song.
Psychonaut – Violate Consensus Reality Litho That build-up to the growls, yeah that's good.
11 There is quite a story here. I dig it.
12 This lady has a nice, airy voice.
13 This lady sounds like she has matured.
Bloodywood – Machi Bhasad lonestar This sounds absolutely devastating.
15 You almost made me shit my pants.
-
A few of this could apply to Jason Richardson/Sparrow, but I'll go with 8
Alternatively, 7 or 15

It ain't old school
I wouldn't consider 5 minutes "short"
The only possible one left is 3. If it ain't that, I give up.

Well, I think the impressions answered the "How's the playlist" question. But point taken.

I was just playing :)

Am I passing you some toilet paper for #15?
I mean it could be 10, but I'm not sure I would call that a build up. And it could be 8 but the energy parts are in small burst.

Round 8 first impressions
Megadeth – Mission to Mars faizoff A band I have seen live, with some of the most insane mosh pits. They're still writing cool songs like this.
2 A very slow builder, does that beautiful synth solo in the middle make up for it?
Jason Richardson – Sparrow jingle.boy Absolutely brutal sounds.
Disillusion – Tormento romdrums Cool textures and back and forth with the vocals, heavy stuff too.
5 How did a short amount of time accomplish so much?
Ghost – Kaisarion Luke Knowing a few of their songs, this has some of that same feel, lighter than I would think, but some old school feel.
Befell – Tribulation Wilted TAC Reminds me of the days in high school listening to metalcore bands with my friends.
Once Human - Only in Death vmads Rippingly brutal, so much energy.
Ryo Okumoto – Chrysalis King Sounds like a Neal Morse song.
Psychonaut – Violate Consensus Reality Litho That build-up to the growls, yeah that's good.
11 There is quite a story here. I dig it.
Weyes Blood – Twin Flame tomislav This lady has a nice, airy voice.
Taylor Swift – Karma stadler This lady sounds like she has matured.
Bloodywood – Machi Bhasad lonestar This sounds absolutely devastating.
Rioghan – Bruises Ariich You almost made me shit my pants.

Years ago I went to see Intervals, and he was opening. I had no clue who he was, but man...did he put on a fucking clinic that had by jaw on the ground for weeks to come. Such an impressive guitarist. He joined Intervals for their encore, and seeing him with the two amazing guitarists for Intervals shredding was something to behold.

Hmm, when was this show? Aaron Marshall is incredible, but I'm wondering who the second guitarist was at the time.

It would've been about a year or two after A Voice Within. Jason was playing with just Luke Holland on drums and backing tracks. I know he does shows solo now (at least his last tour with Babymetal was solo)

I dont know if you know, but he joined All That Remains after their former guitarist passed (RIP Oli). All That Remains is finally writing some new materials with him and I can't wait to hear what he does :metal

No, that was Born of Osiris, I think. I think he was in another band after that.
All That remains had the same lead guitarist for 20 years until Oli unexpectedly passed away. They are a Metalcore, which I know is not everyone's cup of tea, but some of their music is freaking great. Oli was a huge inspiration for me so I am curious to see what Jason Richardson does with the band.

Can't believe I actually wasn't guessed. I suppose it's clear no one read my writeups. :rollin
90% of the time, people only read the writeup for their own submission.
I 100% do this 100% of the time.
I read mine of course but also dip into some others depending on how well I know the artist and/or am interested in the host's view of that artist.
Very little chance I'd remember what a host thought of a particular song or artist that wasn't mine from months ago though, there are a lot of roulettes!
Anyway mine is most likely 12.

Oh, I know, I was mostly joking. I do read every writeup, but can understand why some might not, particularly in ones like mine when many of them were super-sized (and why I ended up adding summaries of them in the second half of the roulette). That song was just such a pivotal moment in my roulette though. I'll briefly tell the story after this round ends.

Round 8 first impressions
Megadeth – Mission to Mars faizoff A band I have seen live, with some of the most insane mosh pits. They're still writing cool songs like this.
An Abstract Illusion – This Torment Has No End, Only New Beginnings Puppies A very slow builder, does that beautiful synth solo in the middle make up for it?
Jason Richardson – Sparrow jingle.boy Absolutely brutal sounds.
Disillusion – Tormento romdrums Cool textures and back and forth with the vocals, heavy stuff too.

Befell – Tribulation Wilted TAC Reminds me of the days in high school listening to metalcore bands with my friends.
Once Human - Only in Death vmads Rippingly brutal, so much energy.
Ryo Okumoto – Chrysalis King Sounds like a Neal Morse song.

Round 8 Results!
Jason Richardson – Sparrow jingle.boy 8.7
Yeah man, the electric guitar does everything it can to portray a feeling of hopelessness or a battle, I don't know, music is subjective, but that's what I got out of it. The music video is stunning (it doesn't add on to this score, just mentioning it). Really powerful song.
Disillusion – Tormento romdrums 8.6
This song was a trip for me. It feels like I am in a crazy storm, and the different vocal styles make me feel like I am IN the song. Quite a feeling, so this song gets a cool boost from that. Good music overall, too.
Moon Tooth – The I That Never Dies ReaperKK 8.6
Pretty strong song, it feels like it gets a lot done in...3 minutes?! That's pretty insane. The music is good and the lyrics were nice to this math teacher's heart. :lol
Rioghan – Bruises Ariich 8.6
This was a very interesting song. After I got done shitting my pants on that first scream, it became a fun habit to listen for the scream again. Really intense emotions and I could feel those emotions weaving in and out. Very solid song.
Ghost – Kaisarion Luke 8.5
This is a rocking song. I like the guitar (and/or keyboard?) leads. Vocals are smooth as I am coming to expect from this band. I solidly enjoyed this song.
Befell – Tribulation Wilted TAC 8.5
This is good, reminds me of some stuff I grew up on in my late teens and early 20s. I wasn't ever huge into metalcore, but some of it was good, and I have a friend from that time that is in a band to this day. The cleans are a great balance to the harsh vocals, the guitars let this song fly nicely. And the riffage is good. Solid song!
Ryo Okumoto – Chrysalis King 8.5
I seriously thought this was Neal Morse until it got to a certain point. The song has some nice chill stuff going on, and the parts where it builds up a bit more have some nice dynamics as well. Really cool proggy song. It does seem to repeat one too many times for my taste, but otherwise a very solid song. (Yes, funny coming from a Neal Morse fan)
Bloodywood – Machi Bhasad lonestar 8.5
This goes hard. I enjoyed the live video you sent as well, a great live song. The Indian influences give it enough of a distinctive edge. The soft part toward the end is sweet as well. Great and short, you know I like that.
Megadeth – Mission to Mars faizoff 8.4
This song was weird for me. I liked it a lot on first listen, and more listens kind of spelled out for me that this song is just okay. Megadeth is hit or miss with me anyway, so being just okay is better than it could have been. I prefer when the band has more melodic lines to it.
Weyes Blood – Twin Flame tomislav 8.4
A nice floaty song. This song came after a ton of metal tracks before it, and like many people, a nicely set-up playlist makes songs like this stand out a little more. It's still not totally my stuff, but the music and ambience provided makes this song solid.
An Abstract Illusion – This Torment Has No End, Only New Beginnings Puppies 8.3
This song has a nice intro, slowly brings you in, then the band comes in. I think going right into the harsh vocals turned me off though. The middle is really good though. The outro is also nice. It is a bit long for what I like, and by the end I was waiting for it to end, even if I enjoyed a good amount of it.
Once Human - Only in Death vmads 8.3
This is a solid metal song. So that vocalist is female? Whoever is singing has a great metal voice. I liked the instrumentation and vocals but overall I didn't get connected with it as much as I would have liked, though it was a good listen.
Taylor Swift – Karma stadler 8.3
This is fine. I'm not a big pop fan, but I like some TS songs from over a decade ago. She sounds like she is having a good time making music, and is progressing her sound. The lyrics are interesting, but this isn't my favorite flavor of Swift, I think. But this was a nice listen.
Psychonaut – Violate Consensus Reality Litho 8.2
There is some atmosphere here, which is a positive, and some overall good riffs. But for me, this song falls a bit flat otherwise. I give it some points for that atmosphere and not being bad, but once it was over I could hardly remember the song.
Kendrick Lamar – Mother I Sober Sacul 8.2
I am not much of a rap fan, though, is this rap? I think it is. I appreciate the genre regardless, it's not easy to make sound good IMO. I don't pay much attention to lyrics, but the lyrics here are powerful and a slight bit relatable (being a child helplessly watching your mother deal with stuff). So this score is with all that in account, it's not bad but it's not really my thing, while I really like the lyrics.
Overall Impressions: Another solid and consistent playlist. Nothing too high or low, just...solid. I enjoyed it!

Kendrick Lamar is the Dream Theater of the Hip Hop/Rap world, come @ me. He has some of the most compelling music though, I'm in the minority Mr. Morale is phenomenal album.
I'm glad you dug Moon Tooth! I'll send something either tonight or tomorrow morning.
-
Most rap songs would get below an 8 from me, though not every one. Maybe Lamar is worth more of a listen in the future.

Here she is a few years later jamming with Jason and NAMM..
https://youtu.be/2f9mME1cgf8?si=vbe_zuGN2njm0znB (https://youtu.be/2f9mME1cgf8?si=vbe_zuGN2njm0znB)
She's also covered Govan and Polyphia, all before age 10. There's one video that I can't find anymore of Govan watching her play his song, and hes just laughing in bewilderment. She has her own band now with Nemophila guitarist Hazuki and drummer Kanade Soto called Koiai, and although it has pop overtones, you can hear Jason's influence all over the heavier elements
-
Ah. I remember you showed me that video. Didn't realize it was the same person. I was there actually (At NAMM, which I mentioned before). On the other side of that stage. Later that day I got to have a glass of wine with him and JP :metal Talking crap for about an hour

Well, Stadler has been much improved with getting it in before the weekend.

Don't get me wrong, last thing I want is to listen to announcers fellatiate Mahones for the next few weeks, but the fish just ain't up for this one. Hope there's a second half comeback, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Well, Stadler has been much improved with getting it in before the weekend.
My bad, this week. I got sent on a work trip to NYC Monday afternoon unexpectedly and as some of you might have noted, there wasn't a lot of time to get on line at all. And since I didn't get home until later Friday from said trip I didn't spend a lot of time in front of the computer this weekend either. I mean, I can send a song for completeness, or I can take the zero, whatever. I take responsibility for the "slack".

Just end the self flaggelation and send a song.

Nah dude, send a song you like, it's all good. I may not get a lot of listening today and tomorrow (full days for me). It's not too late.

Oh, for sure ... I just wasn't aware you stayed close to them after I gave you a song from them in your roulette a bunch of years ago (The Bridge That Binds) - which got me out of Exile Island.
-
Not very, but Im trying to avoid sending anymore Japanese stuff or repeats to James, and the available alternatives are getting thin. Plus I think it'll play really well.

You also sent me a giant playlist of japanese stuff anyway, I have listened to some of it between the two roulettes and some of it was really good

Round 9 impressions! I'm getting ready for a work thing tonight, but posting this now.
1 First song on the playlist, very excitable and groovy.
2 I like how subdued this feels.
3 I enjjjoyeddd this sonnng more than IIIII thought I Wwwoulddd
4 This has a big sound with a strong voice to lead the way.
Bear Ghost – Vulture Ariich A more interesting The Dear Hunter.
Ions – The Same As You romdrums Odd time signatures and lots of reverb, this is a cool sound.
7 Solid rock song, the instruments have some frenetic energy.
8 Sorta dark 80s vibe I think? I dug it.
9 Light and airy, middle section is great with the overlapping parts.
10 The aggression and atmosphere made an agreement to become one.
i/o – Peter Gabriel faizoff The chorus is the highlight of this piano-y song.
12 This is refreshing rock/metal, first thought that came to my head. It has clean production, great passion, the energy is something else.
Coldbound – Skies Are Weeping TAC I liked the back and forth of the harsh and female vocals, and overall cool atmosphere.

Round 8 Results!
Advent Horizon – Water King 9
This song is excellent, the intro is awesome, and then when the vocals come in - that is some next level stuff, really incredible mix of vocals and music blending together. The song goes on being great, really great progressive rock. The piano and guitar hold their parts well. The vocal lines around 3:00 are especially special. The production is not normally something I overtly care about, but in this song, it elevates it to the score you got, something about it is just that extra cherry on top.
Ions – The Same As You romdrums 8.8
The music in the beginning gives some Linkin Park vibes. I dug that synth and then it comes back in the chorus. The whole song has a cool feel to it, I don't know how to put it into words besides it reminds me of stuff I grew up in my late teens.
Southern Empire – When You Return lonestar 8.8
This song is so cool. I get some dredg vibes initially that then lead into some more rocking stuff, and really, the song kinda goes where it wants, rocking, chill, proggy. But it does it so well, it's a good journey.
Jelusick – Follow the Blind Man Tomislav 8.7
Nice mid-tempo song. The "follow the blind man" melody got stuck in my head more than I would've expected. The vocalist is really good for this as well. Lyrics were great, just a really well done song that I kept wanting to hear again.
Closure in Moscow – Better Way Luke 8.7
Yeah, love this sort of rock music. I have found various songs in this vein through sheer luck so another one is awesome. The emotional but still driving vocals on top of some good energy in the music.
Dirt Poor Robins – You'll Never Hear It Coming Litho 8.7
The music is really cool and open, 80s vibes are on (at least for me, is that correct?). The guitar solo is cool, and so is the little build-up right before it. I dug the vocals and overall vibe.
Angel Vivaldi – Nine Vmads 8.6
Short and fun song, and a nice opener to the playlist. Loved the guitar playing. The support underneath the guitar is just as good.
Therewolf Media – Odd Jobs jingle.boy 8.6
Kinda similar to Angel Vivaldi's song in my mind, though different but I get the same good vibes. The guitars toward the end that start really rocking are a nice release for such a short song. Really enjoyed this every time it came on.
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds – Council Skies stadler 8.5
Stadler, you have a style, and it's like late summer vibes. I like it. I like when the instruments drop back and then come in again under the chorus. No noise, just a good tune.
Midnight Odyssey – In the Lunar Maelstrom Puppies 8.5
First, I didn't realize how long this song was - for shame, Puppies, for shame. But I'll give credit, until a few days ago I thought this was just a bit over 8 minutes because I enjoyed it. I am not much of a black/death metal guy, but ambient black metal is one of the exceptions. Feels progressive while just going where it wants.
Bear Ghost – Vulture Ariich 8.4
The Dear Hunter are a band I want to like more than I do. I find them just okay though the talent is all there. The exception is The Color Spectrum. I mention all this to give a backdrop - I enjoyed the intro, but the more TDH-ish parts are not where I like my music, and as those parts started creeping in, I found myself liking this less. Still good, just not as good as I was hoping after the intro. But I enjoyed this more than any Acts stuff I have heard.
Skrillex – Supersonic (My Existence) ReaperKK 8.3
I liked this song more than I thought I would, since I only knew one Skrillex song (Scary Monsters...). A few listens were on my way to work and that was the best use of this song, kind of just got me going for the day. Not a genre I am totally interested in, but I can get into every now and then. Hearing different variations of the main part was cool.
Sufjan Stevens – Shit Talk Sacul 8.3
For an 8 minute long song of an artist you've sent before and gotten low scores, this was much, much better. I liked the vibes here, the soft build-up, and the middle has some great intensity with the overlapping parts.
i/o – Peter Gabriel faizoff 8.3
Nice song with medium verses and a cool chorus. It was a chill song to lesson plan to. It wasn't enough to make me want more but it was good for what it was.
Coldbound – Skies Are Weeping TAC 8.3
If you were really wanting to send a song with harsh/growls, pretty good call here. I like when the harsh growls add atmosphere more often than not. The keyboard pads were cool here. Vocals bouncing off each other was nice job. Not always going to be a top song most likely, but I liked it.
Overall Impressions: Due to a busy week, I didn't realize just how kick-ass this playlist was. You all sent good stuff. I also think that harsh vocals are not my jam more often than not. Keep that in mind! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Round 10, the final round, is here! Send me any song from 2015 through 2023! Get it by Tuesday!
-
Sent a 15 minute song for the last round. :P
-
Looks like results will be next month then :justjen
-
Fuck yeah! That album is amazing. James, check it out.
-
I will make it a goal!
I saw ariich has a post-roulette thing, is that him exploring artists more even though he is done? I want to do something like that with this thread, go back to artists I liked the most and talk about more discoveries.
-
No chance in hell of winning? Here comes the Jmetal!!!
-
Hey James, are 2024 songs allowed?
-
Certainly a few 80s elements for sure. Some more modern ones too, which gives them a bit more timeless and singular feel to me. I've liked how they've expanded their sound of late to include more of this approach.
-
Stadler, you have a style, and it's like late summer vibes. I like it.
One of the nicest things anyone has every said to me! :) :) :)
-

I don't want to go that route, I want to discover the year in its own time.

Sending something awesome
-
I didn't say that, did I? But fuck it, send me stuff, 8 minute limit is off but don't send me over 30 minutes pretty fucking please. I don't have that much time in the day :lol
I want this roulette to end next Friday btw, I have that day off and it'll be best for me to do write-ups, and then I can move on to post-roulette listening.

Just sent, and it's only 18 minutes. Just listen to it once or something (although once you've heard it you'll want to spin it again, and again, and again!).
-
:lol I'm gonna give it a few spins at least, having my planning period to myself has helped get extra listening in!

That's cool, what are the more modern elements?
There's been a fair amount of electronic/pop of various stripes in recent years that intentionally adopts a lot of aesthetic traits that are reminiscent of music from the 80s, and this song is certainly in that mold. But the nice thing is that they can choose the elements from that era that don't sound as dated, and integrate them with more modern ones. There are various synth sounds and production and mixing details throughout the song that didn't really exist back then, so it's kind of a best of both worlds scenario. I'd also say the songwriting feel, the phrasing and tone of the guitar solo, and the vocal style are also a bit more modern than anything from that time.

My bad, I thought people may have lost interest
The Great Discord – The Aging Man Puppies This sounds like an interesting mix of genres, heavy yet light.
2 A more mature sound from a heavy, seasoned band.
Nord – The Only Way to Reach the Surface TAC I didn't think a long song could sustain so much energy and so many ideas. Impressive!
Cellar Darling – The Spell Litho That isn't a guitar/bass/keyboard/drum! But it sounds good.
Port Noir – Old Fashioned Tomislav The music in the verses is so cool and modern sounding.
Mile Marker Zero – Propaganda King This starts off like a nice, simple song, and heads more into DT instrumental territory.
Trident – Ambivalent lonestar Hard rock suits this genre more than metal does imo.
8 It wanders where it wants for a long time, and the time flies.
9 Softer song with moody undertones and a good drum to drive it along, very nice feeling.
10 A wall of big, full sounds and energy.
11 Wowee that is some nice hitting poppy feel-goody stuff.
M83 – Earth to Sea faizoff First listen was while high and I got lost in it, the music felt so blended together and ethereal. It was fun!
13 You send lots of straightforward stuff, and this is one of the better ones.
El Mato a un Policia Motorizado – Fuego Sacul This song is fire!
15 The long outro is the best part, rest is good too.

Round 10 Results!
I had it in me to write these tonight, and know these numbers are firmly where I want them, so here are your final results!
VOLA – Paper Wolf romdrums 9
Yeah dude, just end on a high note. I LOVED this song. VOLA is near the top for me to explore post-roulette. It just sounds so clean and refined. The chorus comes in and every time it feels fresh.
Moron Police – Isn't it Easy ariich 8.9
How...does it go from that intro to such a poppy sort song? It's art, dude. This is some next level stuff, I was blasting it in my classroom in the morning before the kids came in and it was a good way to start the day.
Another Sky – Only Rain ReaperKK 8.8
What a song! It's chill and carries along nicely. My only gripe is when it gets TOO quiet in the middle. Although when those nice tones come back in, it does feel more welcome to hear them again.
M83 – Earth to Sea faizoff 8.8
I love ambient music. This is that and more, but the overlying ambience was perfect for this. The vibe is nice. I just really enjoyed the atmosphere while the electronic-synthy stuff underneath rode the beat.
Mastodon – Jaguar God Vmadz 8.7
Mastodon is probably cheating at this point to submit, but at this point, who cares? It might've taken me a while to find this song on my own, so I am glad you sent it. The flowing verses into the arppegiated like in 2:29 and those double hits on the drums right at 5:00 are all great and showcase how they just come up with such fun stuff.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard – The Dripping Tap Luke 8.7
Over 18 minutes, what the fuck man? Actually, this is a song that somehow ended up being a chill and/or rocking song and the time flew by. I could see why this song was a stepping stone for you getting into the band. They explore enough ideas within the 18 minutes and each one is great, a lot of memorable vocal melodies and riffs, and fun rock to boot.
Liam Gallagher – Once stadler 8.7
The definitive Stadler roulette song. I enjoyed how easy it was to listen to, and yet how it had some good lyrics and great vocals. We need songs like this, sometimes I have a hard time finding them, and I'm glad I have this on my radar now.
Nord – The Only Way to Reach the Surface TAC 8.6
What a trip. I know I am missing good songs over 10 minutes and this is one example. I liked how exploratory it felt to me. Had some post-rock or metal(?) vibes to me, but also just rocking and grooving.
Trident – Ambivalent lonestar 8.6
As I said, hard rock and not harsh metal is a win for J metal. The slapping bass in the verse is tasty, and the chorus is just great, no other words.
El Mato a un Policia Motorizado – Fuego Sacul 8.6
I am totally fine not knowing the lyrics, this song just carried along with that nice synth and the supporting cast adding great elements onto it. It felt happy and sad, a nice hit on the more emotional side musically.
Cellar Darling – The Spell Litho 8.5
I looked up the hurdy gurdy on youtube just to see what I was hearing exactly. It's a folk instrument and it has some cool tones. Combining with the metal sounds gives a unique vibe and it was pleasurable to hear. Vocals are also great and I underrated them at first. Solid stuff!
Port Noir – Old Fashioned Tomislav 8.5
This feels firmly like it could be some good 2000s hard rock, or at least partly, and I like it for that. The vocals are clear and full, something I forget that I like in songs. The music has a very electronic (not genre) sound while rocking, nice blend, especially during the verse.
Mile Marker Zero – Propaganda King 8.4
It's a fun rock song with some progressive elements. I had a good time listening to this.
The Circle of Wonders – Pinned to the Coat of a Deadman jingle.boy 8.4
A solid song, if not a tad too long, but that's not worth a loss of points. The vocals that soar in the chorus are really cool, and really overall they are good. The music is also solid, and the outro is soft and haunting.
The Great Discord – The Aging Man Puppies 8.3
More like 8.3876, a very solid song where normally I feel like I wouldn't like a song like this. There is something I cannot put my finger on with how...catchy it is while it's playing. It has a great flow.

I figured I'd do worse, and did. :lol
I sent more popular artists last time and more of ones idiosyncratic to me and a smaller circle this roulette, which proved to be a less effective strategy, but I wanted to try it out anyway. I suspect James' tastes and mine are only mildly to moderately compatible, but at least a few things did well. Was a good time.
-
Hell yeah glad you liked that tune, that album is quite nice.
Congrats rom!

It would be interesting to chart the scores over the roulette. It might just be me, but it seems that the average generally kept going up each round.
-
Litho, I'm glad you sent me what you did. Even if it wasn't always the highest scoring, it was good to get out of my comfort zone.
Here are the averages of each round (so glad I kept track in a spreadsheet)
Round (Average)
1 (8.3067)
2 (8.4667)
3 (8.46)
4 (8.7, this round had the 9.5 scoring So Long, and Thanks... song)
5 (8.4533)
6 (8.44)
7 (8.5067)
8 (8.44)
9 (8.5667)
10 (8.6333)
IMO, it felt like you guys would hone in on what I liked and see where it intersected with your own (like any roulette), then maybe some people would try a new approach, so it oscillated a bit, and the last 2 rounds were 2 of the tightest, probably with the smallest range.
-
Congrats romdrums!
Glad you like the M83 track James! This was a lot of fun, had a great time with this roulette.
-
Congrats Aaron!
Well deserved.
Delighted to have still come second, while sending a wider range of styles and almost entirely avoiding prog metal this time. Glad you liked the Moron Police so much, I think you'll like that album as the whole thing is along similar lines.

Thanks for two roulettes my friend!
-
Thanks James, for running this and the kind words for some of the music I sent you. It was always from the heart, even if it didn't land in the head.
-
I'm very glad you joined up for this one Staddy!
-
James. I hope you got some great new music from us all. I love finding new music through these folks. DTF is the best.
-
Indeed! And 2024 is the year I hope to see new releases along with yall.
-
It's been 3 weeks and I have been exploring some music from this year and a little from the past. Just going to document it and feel free to comment:
Caligula's Horse - Charcoal Grace: Very dense album, it's been a slow grower for me.
glass beach - plastic death: what a strange and crazy album, but I like it. It feels schizophrenic
Caligula's Horse - Bloom: Honestly, 2 listens max right now, so not too much to form an opinion, but some of the other songs beyond what was sent (Firelight and Turntail) feel much different, maybe not as memorable.
The Pineapple Thief - It Leads to This: I am really loving this album. Maybe my favorite of 2024 so far (not much competition yet, but still). It's got that short and sweet factor that I love about most albums.
Ihsahn - Ihsahn (I think, seems like it's s/t): One listen so far, but I really enjoyed the trip it took me on. I will try to get more listens in before more music is released.
Also, 2 other albums I have listened to from 2024:
Kyros - Mannequin: Splent posted this on facebook and I decided to give it a listen, and yeah, fucking amazing. Probably album #2 for me for this year, it could edge out TPT as well.
Persefone - Lingua Ignota: Part I: This is a decent 5 track album, nothing I will want to revisit often after about 6 listens. Recommended from 5/8 peeps.
VOLA...which album is the most popular? I adore Paper Wolf. Same question for Riverside (though try to keep it from 2015-ish to now).
lonestar - How much like Thrill is the rest of New Beginning album by Band-Maid?
-
I'd rate those 2024 albums as follows...
1. Ihsahn - Ihsahn
2. Caligula's Horse - Charcoal Grace
3. Persefone - Lingua Ignota: Part I
4. Kyros - Mannequin
5. The Pineapple Thief - It Leads To This
All pretty decent. Ihsahn will likely be a top 20 of the year, and I think Charcoal Grace will continue to grow on me.
For VOLA, I rate Inmazes, Applause of a Distant Crowd and Witness pretty similarly. For me, you can't really go wrong with any of them, so just go chronologically. Riverside, my favourite is Out of Myself but shout out to Love, Fear and the Time Machine as well.
-
If you're gonna check out a Band Maid album, I'd start with Just Bring It, I think that has their best songwriting. Thrill is probably the heaviest track on its album and was a signal of them going away from the more pop rock sound of the first album.
-
the new glass beach album was fine but nowhere near as good as their debut imo

I will take my chance on Applause and Love, Fear.

I listened to about half of Just Bring It last night before I was heading to bed. It was pretty good. I think you set the bar so high with Thrill that everything else is just okay. I am trying to separate that, but it's hard.

I should relisten to that song you (or whoever) sent me and see how it holds up now.
