Round 6: 6 pointsOrcus -
The Antlers -
Kettering: Dude, I got goosebumps and nearly cried. Now this is what I wanted to hear. The vocal performance, the lyrics, the music... Everything was just horribly depressing...
I really need to check out this album/band out if the rest is as depressing as this song.
5 pointsSonata -
The Depreciation Guild -
A Room, A Canvas: The best thing about this song was probably the lyrics. They were very well written and beautifully imaged a situation that otherwise would've sound cliché (when using the wrong words). painted over, painted over, painted over... I'll be checking out this band, no doubt about that.
4 pointsSigz -
Set Fire to Flames -
Steal Compass/Drive North/Disappear: A very engaging post-rock piece. The theme repeating sounded like fatality and the tone was so dark and dead... Very depressing. Loved every second of it.
3 pointsNekov -
David Bowie -
The Loneliest Guy: While I was listening to it I was surprised it came from David Bowie, because it was quite different from what I've heard of him so far. The lyrics were very good. I interpreted them like a man, denying the best he could the horrible truth that he was the only man alive on Earth. Devastating.
2 pointsClairvoyant -
Elliott Smith -
Angeles: The song was excellent, the only problem I had with it is that the lyrics and their meaning went completely over my head. They didn't connect with me one bit. Too bad really because the song was incredibly good. I'll need to check him out too.

Alice in Chains -
Nutshell: Kind of the opposite to Seth's entry; The lyrics were incredibly depressing but the music just didn't floored me. It was good but just not as sad as the lyrics, if that makes any sense.
