Round 2 results:
This round was very interesting. There were 3 clear levels in terms of how much I liked the songs. The first was Joe, Zander, and Alex’s songs, then all the songs that scored 3, then the other two. I couldn’t pick a song out of that middle group to give a 2, so I just gave them all 3’s. Deal with it, you douchebags. You all suck for sending so much good music.
5 antigoon: Broken Bells – “The High Road”: I LOVED this song. The whole song has a hip hop type feel throughout, which I really liked. The other highlight is the vocals, which are stunning. Amazing song. I’ve already listened to this album once since I heard this.
4 ravenheart: Sarah Fimm – “Story of Us”: Seriously, where do you find all of these Sarahs and Emilies? This song was amazing, she has a great voice, and I loved the electronic elements. Again, I’ve already listened to this album a bit after hearing this.
4 Lateralus88: Novembre – “Swim Seagull In The Sky”: I knew I wouldn’t dislike this. I have Novembre’s Materia and I love that album, but I don’t have anything else by them. This clearly has a very different style in that it’s much heavier and has death vocals (they’re kind of like Opeth). I really liked this song and I’ll be checking them out more.
3 Dtismajesty: Bersarin Quartett – “St. Petersburg”: This was… gorgeous. That’s the only way I can really describe it. I enjoyed this a lot.
3 AcidRainLTE: Deadsoul Tribe - "Feed (Part 1 - Stone By Stone)": The Tool influence is so evident here. I really loved the opening guitar riff and how it grew throughout the song. This was great, and I’ll definitely be downloading this album.
3 Gorille85: Stolen Babies – “Lifeless”: I’ve heard of these guys somewhere before, probably on Daedalus Radio or in another thread somewhere. Anyway, I really, really enjoyed this, and it definitely fits the theme of “dark” very well. That chick’s voice is really great.
3 Quadrochosis: Peter Gabriel – “Signal to Noise”: This was not what I thought Peter Gabriel would sound like at all(I haven’t listened to his solo stuff at all before). With that said, I liked this quite a bit. There was a constant buildup throughout the song which I thought was pretty cool. Good song.
2 LieLowTheWantedMan: Dem Guten, Schonen,Wahren – “Amon Duul II”: What is this I don’t even. The music was wonderful but THOSE VOX. That’s probably the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard.
Not sure if I could see myself enjoying this in the future, but it was definitely an interesting listen.
1 Sonatafanica: Disasterpeace – “At the Zombie Gates”: Okay, maybe chiptune isn’t my thing. This was kinda cool, but I really didn’t see why this had to be 8 bit. I thought it could be a lot better if it wasn’t.
Round 3: Something heavy. Interpret this any way you want. It obviously could mean metal, or it could mean something aggressive vocally or even lyrically.
