Implode's Song Roulette - The RESULTS are IN

WFT DID HE LISTEN TO MILEY CRYUS

He acted surprised when he saw that was in his last.fm, but who knows

[Implode]

the fact that you rather liked what I could see some around here dismissing as a poppy song is very awesome.

I don't think you can dismiss something just because it's poppy. I know I said I dislike modern pop, but I'd say that's a different genre than what you sent me.

energythief is just quoting me because I'm stupid, and it's funny.

[Implode]

These are results for Round 2 in order of submission!

orcus116 - Campaign by Russian Circles

This is a great ambient song. I love what it does, but I wish it would develop a little bit more. So while I like, I don't like it quite as I would like a 4.

YtseBitsySpider - Making Memories by Rush

This is fun and upbeat. Rush sounds great as usual, but I have the same complaint as the song above. It's just a little too static to be amazing.

3

MasterShakezula - Epitaph by King Crimson

That's right. This is a big name I've never really listened to. This song is pretty great. I enjoy the very subtle build it has. It's nothing that completely blew me away.

3

Ħ - Pure Narcotic by Porcupine Tree

Great acoustic sounds in this one! I also love the chord progressions. GAH, HIPSTER BELLS. But it's okay. This song is a great listen. I'm bad with coming up with things to say though, heh.

4

energythief - Fidelity by Regina Spektor

Oh god. Oh dear. I'm sorry. So sorry. But you seemed to have picked a song that I've come to loathe. I guess I just really don't like the singer's voice. The song makes me feel sick. May god have mercy on your soul. ()

1

Iarwain - I'll Come Running by Brian Eno

This is song is okay. It's a got a good vibe, and it's very easy to listen to. But that's about it.  

3

Nekov - Utopia by Tony Levin

Another very laid back song here. It's okay. I like the sound, but it just goes on while not really building or doing anything exciting. Doesn't quite make average, though.

2

Ravenheart - Loose Ends by Imogen Heap

Cool poppy beat. It wasn't too exciting though. It had really fun vocals. Yeah. Um. *cough*

2

RaphaelRaven - Landslide by Fleetwood Mac

Hey. I know this song. But I knew that you wanted to submit it whether I liked it or not, so whatever. The songs brings back memories; I'm just not sure what of. Good but not great.

3




Sorry about the horrible commentary I gave. I guess I was just feeling like there wasn't much to say. Also the average rating was lower this time. I blame the category. This next round will be better. I'm sure of it.

Right now the standings are:

9 - Ħ
8
7 - orcus116, MasterShakezula
6 - YtseBitsySpider, RaphaelRaven
5 - Iarwain, Nekov, Ravenheart
4 - energythief






The third round is also part of a bunch of over used themes:

3. Hella Heavy!

Submit a song that is on the heavier side! I'm excited for this. I haven't really gotten any heavy songs yet.  

GOGOGO!

[ariich]

Lots of great stuff that round!

[Nekov]

I tought you would like that song 

Just to be clear for this round. We have to send a heavy song right?

You kinda say heavy, then light, then heavy again.

[Implode]

 

Oh no! My laziness is revealed! Now I'll have to kill you. (Send me a heavy song.)

I tought you would like that song  

And don't feel bad. Like I said, I blame the category.

[Ħ]

Hmmm this is gonna be tough, mostly cause I don't really listen to heavy stuff.

EDIT: I see you like Avenged Sevenfold -- so screaming sometimes does it for you?

Well, I like newer Avenged. The first two albums (which are all mostly screaming) don't do it for me.   I really like songs like A Little Piece of Heaven, Fiction, Unbound, but not God Hates Us, or their older stuff. Generally, screaming doesn't please me, but there's always exceptions.

I don't have hotmail....

But I cleaned out my inbox.

[ariich]

Oh lord, just noticed you dissed Regina's voice. I'm pretty sure that should be a bannable offence...

[Implode]

I never dissed her voice.

And just so everyone knows, I'm not going to be at my computer much until Monday. So that's when the next round will be up. Sorry for the delay.

[energythief]

I don't have hotmail....

Sorry, I meant gmail. It was from MY hotmail lol.

[Implode]

Everything's ready except for one. Have problems with a submission. Results should be up today.

I resent it.

[YtseBitsySpider]

hah hah..last place for you thief!

LOL


kidding kidding.
im sure your submission will be memorably memorable.

[MasterShakezula]

I think it'll be more questionably questionable.

Good or bad?

That's an open question.

Or is it?

[Implode]

What the hell are you saying?



Now that everyone has their submission in, and I'm not busy packing for college, here are results for Round 3 in order of submission!

Ħ - Dark Chest of Wonders by Nightwish

I've listened to Nightwish, but nothing ever caught my attention. This is a pretty rockin' song. The power of the song with the harmonic structure of the chorus makes it resemble a kind of glory metal song. But heavier and less cheesy...maybe not less cheesy. Not sure about that.

4

orcus116 - Little Smoke by This Will Destroy You

The best part about this song is waiting for it to start lol. No but really. This song is fascinating. Such a powerful build and epic feeling. It's great. But unfortunately I have no desire to really listen to it again. Most of the time I can't tell what the hell is going on. 

2

YtseBitsySpider - Night Comes Clean by Soilwork

This is a really fun song. I love the chorus, and the guitar solo is pretty cool. The vocals are pushing it, but the rest of the song is so great, it still gets a

4

Nekov - The Wolf Is Loose Mastodon

I love the drumming in this song. Unfortunately, the the lack of dynamic color of the song kind of slows it down for me.

2

MasterShakezula - Into the Void by Black Sabbath

This song is okay. Good groove, and I enjoy the change in the B section. The solo at the end pretty neat too.

3

RaphaelRaven - Kashmir by Led Zeppelin

I've only heard this song in passing. I've never really paid attention to it. Great song. This has had the best vocals so far.

4

Iarwain - Collapse Generation by Arcturus

Exciting. Very exciting. I'm not sure what else to say.

3

Ravenheart - Unforgivable Sin by Evergrey

This song was good. It was emotional, and heavy. I'm bad at describing this song.

3

energythief - Dance of the Manatee by Fair to Midland

Pretty cool song. I really like the vocal melody. Good job with this one.

Right now the standings are:

13 - Ħ
12
11
10 - YtseBitsySpider, MasterShakezula, RaphaelRaven
9 - orcus116
8 - Iarwain, Ravenheart, energythief
7 - Nekov






The fourth round is also part of a bunch of over used themes:

4. Incredible Instrumental!

Submit a song that doesn't use vocals! That's the only parameter.

GOGOGO!

[Ħ]

Do you still like video game music?

[Nekov]

Mmm, this is getting bad really quick for me    Hope you like the one I just sent

[Implode]

Do you still like video game music?

I do, but I'm not looking to get any more out of this. I already have so much.

[orcus116]

About the reaction I was expecting. Oh well.

[Ħ]

I am literally at a loss this round.  I simply don't listen to music without vocals.  I'm going to have to explore some new music too. 

[Jamesman42]

EDIT: I know you don't like screaming/harsh vocals, but the new Opeth album due Sept 2011 (called Heritage) has been confirmed to have no death vocals.

Totally off-topic, but for real? I do like death vocals but at the same time much prefer cleans (really depends).

HAVE I NOT KNOWN THIS WHOLE TIME?

[orcus116]

Do you remember any of his anti-instrumental rants? Hilarious stuff.

[Implode]

Oh. I thought you were talking about something else.

But yes. H is better off.

[YtseBitsySpider]

This round would be one of my strong rounds, and I went a little off the board even for me rather than something obvious.
I'd say 50% of my music collection has no vocals.

[contest_sanity]

I'd say 50% of my music collection has no vocals.

OH GOD THE IRONY!!!

That only means next time he expresses this he has to mime it.

[YtseBitsySpider]

Im a tad concerned. Did this roulette just...............................................implode?

[Implode]

Oh ho ho ho!

No it's hasn't. I've just moving into college. No access to my computer. But it will continue soon (see trying for today)! And not have dumb delays after that!
