That's twice I promised results soon when I was still missing a song
. I'll try to stop.
8 PointsLieLowTheWantedMan: Sigur Ros - Untitled 3
I tried checking out Sigur Ros before and I wasn't really blown away by it. This song on the other hand was really beautiful. I love how the song centers around this simple piano melody that keeps repeating as the rest of the song gets more and more intense. It sort of makes me feel like, if this were a movie then this would play as the main character gets shot and lies bleeding out in the snow, and the white snow slowly turns red and the camera is above him and slowly zooming out as it fades to black. That shot is what this song made me feel. I don't know if that makes any fucking sense.
7 PointsPerpetual Change: Anathema - 2000 & Gone
Anathema is a band I've been meaning to check out due to the glowing reviews they get around these parts, but I sort of hold a grudge against them because I wanted to start a band called Anathema when I was like 14, and I even drew a cool logo for it and I was sorta heartbroken when I found out it was already a band. So, about the song itself. I enjoyed it a lot. Very beautiful. I really liked how they used the guitar, both with the clean riff and the distorted wailing kinda stuff going on overtop of it. Me gusta.
6 PointsDTVT: Scale the Summit - The Levitated
I enjoyed Carving Desert Canyons a lot but I didn't know they had a new album. I was very impressed by this song. It was very groovy and sort of dreamy? I guess is the word I would use to describe it while still being pretty technical. Good stuff.
5 PointsNic35: The Ocean - Wille Zum Untergang
I really enjoyed this song. From the pretty mellow beginning as it builds up to a pretty intense climax...overall very cool.
4 PointsNekov: Riverside - Lucid Dream IV
Pretty good song. Sort of reminded me of how DT or LTE do instrumentals, which was good. Not really much more to say about it at the moment.
3 PointsCup: Chick Corea - Crystal Silence
This song was kinda weird but nice. Not a huge fan of saxophone in general but they used it pretty well here (assuming that is a saxophone I'm hearing, Wikipedia doesn't list one). The other parts sorta sounded like Porcupine Tree...specifically they reminded me of Russia on Ice.
2 PointsUMH: OSI - Microburst Alert
Hey this has words in it geez. I'm familiar with OSI but I haven't really listened to them enough to know a lot of songs, and this one I don't know. For the first half of this song I was feeling sorta blah towards it, but then the tension broke and it got all awesome.
1 PointKingshmegland: Bela Fleck & The Flecktones - Life Without Elvis
Ehhhh. Didn't really like this one. Sorry man
. Just really never been a big fan of the 'southern' sound at all.

Next up is round six: This time I'm looking for something with a good solo. That could be a slower, more emotional one or a more intense one. Whatever you want. Also the song itself needs to be good.
