OK, I am finally going to judge this round. Sorry about the delay, but you all know what a couple of weeks I've had at work, so hopefully I'm somewhat forgiven for the delay. Here we go............
Sigz
Shpongle-My Head Feels Like a Frisbee
You do know that when I quit drinking, I quit doing drugs too, right? Honestly though, too much, too disorganized, too all over the place. Add to it that I couldn't get into the song and it just didn't work. Even the fine ass at 4:10 couldn't save this one for me. Maybe it would have been better if I was in the audience, but I doubt it. This song gets a
, one point for teh booty
Nekov
Gentle Giant-Advent of Panurge
Just weren't comfortable with that lead, were you? Songs like this are why mainstream music hates prog. The intro was annoying as fuck, and there is a reason only Ian Anderson is allowed to play flute on a rock and roll song. Some redeeming moments between the two, and unlike Sigz contribution, I made it to the end. Loved the drummer, he looked like he was nutting his pants the whole song. This song gets a
, with a touch of
, 2 points
King
The Feeling-Sewn
Started a bit slow, but picked up, and kinda kicked fucking ass at the end. Good song, I liked it. Would have worked better with an audience instead of live in a studio, didn't really catch that concert vibe until the frontman started killing it at the end. This song gets a
, three points
jingle.boy
Star One-Eye of Ra
Um, not sure what to make of this one. Good vocals, some nice guitar work, but I just didn't really like the song all that much. Had a "We are the World" meets "Rick Wakemen Journey to the Center of the Earth" meets SciFi channel vibe. The end just annoyed me. This song gets a
, two points
obscure
Vision Divine-Out of the Maze
Fuck yeah!!! Good song, aggressive and upbeat, fun instrumentals. Also my type of small venue show where it's more about the audience than the band. Like Arena and Frost, I need to check out more from this band, I liked it. This song gets a
, four points
DTVT
Evergrey-As I Lie Here Bleeding
Beastly. Fucking ridiculous. I wanted to be in the front row so bad. This song gets a
, five points
Puffy Pat
Gogol Bordello-Underdog World Strike
Yeah, um, no. Might have been good with a serious drunk on in the audience, but it just didn't translate well. I kinda liked the fun atmosphere without going over stupid(see sigz above), but it just didn't do a whole bunch for me. This song gets a
, one point
Cup
Gov't Mule-Don't Step on the Grass Sam
I'll give you this much bud, you have suprised me on every round, and this time it worked. I fucking love bluesy music, and I love the hippie vibe on top of it. Nice job cup!!! This song can only be given a
, four points
