I'm off tomorrow so I should have them for you then.
Haha oh past self you silly.
So basically in hindsight I realize this was a stupid idea for a round because I don't actually like solos as much as I thought I did, I guess.
8 PointsKingshmegland: Spock's Beard - She is Everything
So this is post Neal Morse Spock's Beard? That's cool because (incoming controversial opinion)
I really didn't want to listen to a song about Jesus anyway . Oh I do enjoy making fun of beloved musicians. Anyway. So this song is definitely awesome. The solo is awesome. Best kind of solo. Lyrics are sorta okay but at least they're not about Jesus (I'll stop)
7 PointsDTVT: Marillion - Sugar Mice
I've sorta heard this song before...on the SC tour DT did a medley with this and...Surrounded? So that's all I really know about it. Either way it was a very nice song. The solo was beautiful, definitely a good one for the emotional solo route.
6 PointsLLTWM: Genesis - Firth of Fifth
So I've never actually heard Genesis before, so we'll see how this goes. Overall this song is pretty good. Solos were good. I'm finding I don't have much to actually say about the songs themselves this round? My bad...
5 PointsPC: Marillion - Easter
I didn't quite like this one as much as the other Marillion track. It was a good song, the instrumental work was good, I enjoyed the solos. I've not much else to say.
4 PointsNekov: Explorer's Club - Fate Speaks
Maybe I should have sent a length rule
. Oh well. So there are a lot of solos in this song. They are quite good, too. I'm not crazy about the rest of the song though. I think if they just took out the non solo bits and made this song an 8 minute solo it would be pretty cool.
3 PointsCup: Riot - Sign of the Crimson Storm
So this was sorta some standard 80s metal I guess. The solo was great but the song as a whole didn't do very much for me.
2 PointsUMH: Annihilator - The Fun Palace
So uh, I wasn't really thrilled about the solo here because it was really just the same pattern getting higher and higher, or at least that's what it sounded like. The song itself was pretty good.
1 PointNic35: Meshuggah: Straws Pulled at Random
I was sorta surprised noone sent me Meshuggah during the heavy round. Now, I really enjoyed this song. Seriously. Buuut the solo really wasn't spectacular. I think it worked great for the song but not what I was looking for this round. It's only as a technicality that you get the lowest score this round
37 - LieLowTheWantedMan
34 - DTVT
34 - kingshmegland
33 - Perpetual Change
23 - Nic35
22 - Ultimetalhead
18 - Nekov
14 - Cup
So for the last two rounds we're gonna go TOTALLY CRAZY and everything is now worth DOUBLE POINTS. So it's still totally ANYONE'S GAME (but probably not).
Just for a fun tidbit, my favorite solos are probably Comfortably Numb and the one from this song here:

Theme for the next round is:
Songs with unusual instruments. Basically anything that's not Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keys/Piano/Organ/Harpsichord etc. Sitars, mandolins, shamisen, whatever. Probably a safe bet not to send me ska or jazz though? I want rock/metal songs with these kinds of instruments in them.
