Okay, here's your shit, guys. I decided I'll be using the grading scale I used last round for the rest of the roullet.
Cole: Cat Stevens; Where Do The Children Play; Funny, I'm generally apprehensive to folksy stuff, yet when someone throws it at me, I end up eating it straight up. Very peaceful listen; I was stressed before listening to it, but wasn't after. Also, it was a good idea to keep the full orchestration limited to the last verse, just made things work better.

Ga
llagher: Submotion Orchestra- Back Chat; Last couple rounds, you've been on a sort of roll at making me like something from a genre I'm mainly wha? towards. This was no exception; I mean, really awesome and organic sounding dubstep? The song overall is a real nice sort of trance, a bit tense, but not to the point where the tension's the status quo.
55
Nekov: Marcus Miller- Nikki's Groove; Good slab of jazz funk. Perhaps a bit too approachable/polished, but overall, it makes for a good listen and the overall feel is fresh. I can go for great slap-bass any day, man, any day.
45
Mason: Battle of Mice- Sleep and Dream; Woah. That shit was pretty frightening; the entire thing kinda sounded like some sorta weird ritual, what with the vocals and the tribal-type-drumming. Definitely not rawk.
55
Sam: A Tribe Called Quest- Scenario; I am not a fan of rap. However, I did find this song quite entertaining. It was pretty clear that these guys put a great deal of effort into making something worth listening to, and also, it didn't sound like they were taking themselves too seriously. I don't get why so many rappers nowadays have to be so "gritty" and "evul". That shit's gay.
45
Jeremy: Tal Wilkenfeld- BC; Being jazz fusion, I ended up enjoying this. I ended up really enjoying this because of the sheer energy, and sometimes chaos of it, what with so much going on there. Excellent, excellent basswork! (LOL, rawk really ought to steal some jazz bassists)
55
obscure: The Pierces- Boring; Sounded James Bond-ish. Also promoted a very negative and destructive viewpoint. But that's alright because it was seductive, and sex sells. Catchy, as well.
36
Pat: Ephixa- Lost Woods Remix; I recognize the original song from Super Smash Bros, I think. (I wasn't ever too into Zelda; I played that one for the black-and-puke Gameboy, didn't like it, and that was that). I liked the original version, or at least the one from SSB a good deal; I didn't find that this remix did much to improve upon it, really.
28
Kix: Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts; I don't like anime. I do like this song, a lot! I mean, really, you don't see big band done this well, too often these last couple decades (Hell do I know when that show it was for was produced). Great deal of energy to go around and such. You nailed it, I guess.
55
Matt: Jean-Luc Ponty- New Country; I never coulda guessed that fiddle could of worked so well in a jazz fusion setting. But it did. Not only that, but really, this shit is virtuosic. Also, folky.
55
LLTWM: Harmonium- En Pleine Face; That wasn't rawk at all; it was folk. Really good folk. Felt like some journey somewhere. Is this band to be found on progarchives.com?
45
Genowyn: Anamanaguchi- Airbrushed; Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the original soundtracks of many NES games. However, I didn't like this too much, as I found the music too cheery and anime-ish. I don't like that sorta stuff. It did have its moments though, and I thank you for sending me the video without the gay-ass animation loop thing with the things.
21
Mike: Excision- That Girl; This sounded like dubstep, except a good variation, because it actually involved subtlety and calmed the fuck down. The thing had a very nice and soothing atmosphere, overall.

Here's your pie, guys; EAT UP!
