Wow, lots of good submissions that round.  Good to see some Arena love.  That whole Blind Guardian album is badass.  Devin Townsend is also amazing, and can do lots of styles very well.

The only hard part is deciding what to send you now, I got plenty.

K in C- Unexpect- Unresolved Ideas of a Distorted Guest- Sorry, man, but this just wasn't my cup of tea.  I liked some of the ideas, but overall, it felt jumbled and all over the place, like they're trying to be as "avent-garde" and spooky as possible.  Especially the vocals.

Fail.  There's no trying, they are as avant-garde as possible. :D

Will send soon.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

VdGG is typically more sax-driven, but yeah that album is more organ-lead. Glad you loved. :biggrin:

A pie chart would be ok if this were a zero-sum game.  Running a zero sum roulette would be interesting and potentially mean spirited.  Bar would be the proper way of doing this chart, but as I'm sure Cup will learn eventually, sometimes a data table is much better than a graphic aid.

Fuck it, I wrote write-ups just now, but accidentally left the page, so they're lost forever.  I even put a good amount of effort into them, as well, but that's that.

I will say that this was the best round yet, probably.  Y'all have good to great taste in instrumental music. 

Here's your results, in the form of a data chart:



And the totals:



Final round is: send in something from the 90s. 

Unless you just want to end it here.  If that's the case, if 7 are for ending it, that's the majority and it's over.

Don't get me wrong, I've really enjoyed listening to your submissions; y'all have made me intent on getting into many of your bands and artists.  It's just that, really, this thing's been really long (I take full responsibility for that; you've been quite prompt with your shit), and I'm betting that the people on the waiting list are eager for their turns. 

Still, your call.

Bye.

i'm gonna admit, waiting for eventually this long, what is it almost 9 days for these results, has gotten rid of all of the fun. i think i'm out for now. nice participating and coming 8th while still earning top points, Seb, oh and showing you fantastic music you almost always enjoyed from me. it's been a pleasure.

Cup, check your math! Last round I had more points than LLTWM, we both got the same amount of points in this round and now he is above me?

Will be sending shortly.

Yep, my bad.

You actually have 273 points and are in 3rd place.

I fixed the chart now.

lolyou that you spend all this time putting the scores into spreadsheets and pie charts but don't do your write-ups in Word so as to safeguard them.  I was looking forward to that write-up too!  Oh well, I'm all for continuing -- just gotta think about what to send...
