Well, here's the results of the last round of this roulette. It was a good round, even if I didn't get songs from a couple guys (SPNKr's run ended last round, Jay plain told me he was boned, and The Kic and Ryan were just plain missing; what I'm doing for these guys, is I'll give them points for this round, their points being their average score per round, just because they did good jobs as contestants for the first 7 rounds, and I am very glad to have had them here)
There's a different scale, just cause.
(10=66, 9=56, 8=47, 7= 39, 6= 32, 5= 26, 4= 21, 3= 17, 2= 14, 1= 12)
Ever.
Cole- Pearl Jam- Alive; I enjoy grunge, much, though I never really got into these guys, I dunno why. Listening to this tune makes me feel rather dumb for not giving them a fair shot. Overall this tune's got a nice, chilled-out, yet dark and raw groove to it and feels plain right. 'tis a solid example of why I like early-ish alt-rock.
66
Nekov- Flower Kings- World of Adventures; Another good submission by Nekov. Sounds very much like Yes in some parts, but is clearly its own sound. I found the last couple of minutes to be very beautiful and soothing. The use of organ is always a plus, as well.
66
Mike- SOAD- Spiders; Seems to rest in a comfortable grey area between alt-rock and metal. Overall, it's a pretty cool song, with somewhat of a creepy atmosphere, and some really eerie singing. Nothing revolutionary, but it makes for some good fun, and makes me interested in SOAD, I guess.
56
Pat- Karate- New New; Hmm, this is a pretty weird little tune. Starts off alt-y and then gets all proggy and jammish by the end. Sounds somewhat quirky, in terms of the instrumentals. Tell me some more about these assholes; I really like what I'm hearing.
66
Mason- Clockwork- If These Walls Could Talk- You were right in your guess that I'd like it. I really dig the mix of melodic, power-metal-like, groove midpaced prog with some clever fusion-ish moments, plus a well-placed solo. So much goes on in its 5ive minutes, and it all ends up complementing itself and turns out really great. Also, that chorus.
66
obscure- Grip Inc.- Rusty Nail- You people can call me tasteless and uncultured all you want, but some good groove metal can really get me pumped! This does a fair enough job. It makes me kind of feel like drinking some Mountain Dew playing some game about car combat or killing aliens, or some other stereotypical late-90s activity.
56
C_s- Big Wreck- That Song- What do you get when you mix some driving alt-rock with some chill pills? A good and memorable tune. Nothing much to say, really, it's a good song and is well worth your time.
56
Genowyn- NIN- We're in this Together- NIN is one of those acts who I hear most everyone love, yet it's taken me forever to really approach it. This song is great; it's quite cool hearing all these layers of synths and guitars and such being mixed into a dissodent and unnerving mass for most of it, and then having it transition into a more piano-led softer ending. I may of failed your roulette, Mr. Anime Lumberjack, but you sure as hell haven't failed mine!
66
LLTWM- Cardiacs- Fiery Gun Hand- This is very fun and delightfully off kilter. The vocals are rather Chav-ish, while the instrumentation is very up-beat and punk-ish. That is, if not for the clever touches of the brass samples, the silly (carnival-ish?) break, and best of all, the the crazy, JR-like keyboard shit throughout the last minute or so.
66
As for the other 4,
Ryan had an average of 9.5, that'll round up to a 10, so he gets 66
The King In Crimson had an average of about 8.2, that'll round down to 8, so he gets 47
Jay had an average of about 8.7, that'll round up to 9, so he gets 56
SPNKr had an average of about 9.1, that'll round down to 9, so he gets 56
Finally, the moment you've all been waiting for:
IT'S THE FINAL RESULTS IN THE FORM OF A DELICIOUS PIE CHART!!!Or, if you feel those 4 guys don't deserve those cusion points, then...
Either way,
A. Y'all got yer asses beaten by DTVT, and
Z. I thank y'all for taking part in this roulette! You introduced me to a great deal of great music! The diligence and great patience displayed by y'all, having to deal with my slowpoke antics is most admirable.
Now, how bout y'all go play with some animals or something.
Or anything really, just go away. It's over.
