PC: Jose Gonzales – How Long (6pt)
An interesting start to the round, this track would certainly stand out at the end as the oddest of the bunch. Not for technical wizardly or anything, it’s a rather simple track, and certainly an enjoyable one. Kinda mellow and beautiful, and a tactful choice as it isn’t something that comes full blast to use up the short time.
Rich: Protest the Hero – Termites (2 pt)
I’ve heard a couple of Protest the Hero songs before, and while I was neither disappointed nor blown away I’d say I liked those tracks better than this particular one. It was a decent track I suppose, but neither the music nor the vocals really caught my attention.
Zander: Reflection – Twilight Child (10 pt)
How good of a hit was this? It sunk my fucking battleship. I was not surprised Zander would send me something so good, but I am surprised that he would send something that seemed to familiar to me. There is a lesser known Italian act called Secret Sphere that this reminds me a lot of at times, and in general I could definitely see myself digging this band. Nice piano medleys and a strong chorus top off an overall great track.
Wolf: Seven Tears – Dream of Insanity (9 pt)
Another very strong track with a similar feel to Zander’s in the mood of the song and how it drives forward. Piano medleys are replaced by some other strong keyboards and it is another very strong track overall with a solo almost makes it top Zander.
Seth: Susanne Sundfor - Father Father (5pt)
Another risk taker like PC, but while I enjoyed this tracks beautiful vocals and soft medleys it just couldn’t stand up against some of the amazing submissions from the round.
JB: The Tragically Hip – Fireworks (3 pt)
Certainly didn’t see a song like this coming. Kinda combines a classic rock feel with some other stuff and it took me awhile to decide what to think of the song. There were issues with the sound I couldn’t quite put my finger on, but it was still a fun song with a neat chorus.
Ytse: Unearth – Last Wish (1 pt)
Eek. After winning two rounds I was really surprised when I heard this one. Sending me a track with vocals I’m nearly guaranteed to hate is roulette suicide, and it doesn’t help that I only found it musically mildly interesting at best, though that can be in part because I found it very difficult to focus on the music much.
DTVT: Warrel Dane – This Old Man (8 pt)
I think that most telling thing about this song is after hearing it the first time I had to check to make sure it was under 4 minutes. I think I did that the 2nd and 3rd time too. The song has its powerful moments, but it never seems in a hurry and seems to get a lot accomplished. I really enjoyed the overall feel of this one and very much like the contrast between the two main styles in the song.
Hair: 5+4+0+9+9+8+10 = 45
Wolf: 9+8+0+4+4+8+9 = 42
Rapkins: 6+9+1+6+8+5+5 = 40
Mason: 8+7+1+7+2+4+8 = 37
Ytse: 1+5-1+5+10+10+1 = 31
Brit: 4+6+0+3+5+9+2 = 29
Puppet: 7+1-1+1+6+6+3 = 23
Joseph: 2+2-1+2+3+3+6 = 17
