Best song (5 points:)
Gorille85: Vinushka - Dir en GreyWow, this song was really awesome.
The singer was really cool, and I loved the verses. But oh my god, DAT MIDDLE SECTION.
So awesome! Long story short, I'm checking out this band ASAP. This is really, really cool stuff.
High tier (4 points):
The King in Crimson: Skeksis - Strapping Young LandThis is pretty much just the perfect metal song. The riffs are really cool. The vocals are, of course, awesome. This was just an all around really fun listen. Not much to say but this was pretty damned awesome.
dtismajesty: Father Father - Susanne SundforThis song was so beautifully haunting, it's impossible for me not to love it. The singer (Susanne I assume) is absolutely amazing, and she really brings out the haunting atmosphere of this song to the nth degree. Short song, but damn it was awesome.
Middle tier (3 points):
jsem: My Favourite Things - John ColtraneI really feel this song deserves more points, but due to the infinite awesomeness of the first 3, it goes here. Anyways, this is really the ultimate chill jazz song. It just made me feel so relaxed when I listened to it and it didn't lose my attention for a second. He really incorporates the main melody well too. Great song.
(That's the first time I've ever used that emoticon I think
)
TheVoxyn: Still Counting - VolbeatI immediately thought that the singer was awesome here. I love unique singers, and this guy really stands out. This song is quite accessible too, which definitely worked to it's advantage in this case. The lyrics were kinda odd in places, but hey I enjoy it!
Medium low tier(2 points):
zxlkho: 1878 - The Dear HunterAnother song that really deserves more points, but dat competition! Oh well, I guess an open round is pretty much asking for it. Anyways, like you said, the singer is great here. The chorus made me feel as if I've heard this somewhere before, but I'm not sure of it. It is a great chorus. Love the organ solo too.
DTVT: Travels to the Night - MysteryAhh, yes I do recognize the singer from Yes. Anyways, this song definitely has some Yes influence to it, and it really is great. I feel it could have benefited from being shortened slightly, but it was still a really great song. And like in the above song, I believe it deserves more. I will check out this band more.
Bottom tier (1 point):
ariich: Kinetic - Arcturus This really was a very good song! It's competition was so tough though. It had some really, really cool parts and then other parts that didn't really click. But overall, it was great, and the vocalist was really good. I'll still be checking out this album, as I feel I enjoyed this song enough.

Round 6:Damn this is a really even roulette. Which calls for a really even song!
In other words, I would like a song that balances heavy and soft parts.
