Nekovs Song Roulette pt. 2: It's over. We have a winner!

[lonestar]

No shit. Got major league bragging rights on the line this round.

[obscure]

side bet for this round?

[lonestar]

We got a standing one for every round, plus the big overall bet at the end.(hence why I have this emasculating statement on my culinary skills in mine right now)

[obscure]

oh I see 

[Nekov]

Sorry for the long wait guys. Here are the results


Player: Gorille85
Artist: Die Antwoord
Song: Evil Boy
Review: Sorry man but there wasn’t a single thing about this song that I liked. Way off my ballpark.
Score: 1

Player: LieLowTheWantedMan
Artist: Comus
Song: Diana
Review: There’s nice weird and then there’s weird weird. This song falls somewhere in between those two. It has a nice bass line that maintains the consistency of the song and the percussion is quite interesting however the singer’s voice was annoying as hell. I also like the string arrangements.
Score: 4

Player: ReaperKK
Artist: Across the delta
Song: The intensive Alibi
Review: Nice tune. It had a nice start but then it kinda went down. I liked the singer’s voice and there were some good riffs, specially the more calm ones towards the end.
Score: 4

Player: Kari
Artist: The pains of being pure at heart
Song: Young adult friction
Review: My first impression wasn’t really good but after a couple of listens I found this song quite enjoyable and fun. It has a really good vibe overall and some nice melodies but nothing that really stands out to me.
Score: 4

Player: Wolfking
Artist: Time requiem
Song: Time requiem
Review: Man this sounds a lot like Symphony X. I feel like it has some nice and interesting bits but for the most part it’s just pretty standard prog metal. It’s nice it but it bores me after a couple of listens.
Score: 3

Player: jingle.boy
Artist: Flaming row
Song: Leas Delivery
Review: I liked how the two vocalists worked together but the song itself felt dull as I didn’t really get where they were going at. The keyboards provided a nice atmospheric touch.
Score: 3

Player: Elite
Artist: Beardfish
Song: The platform
Review: This is a quite interesting song. The intro got me hooked immediately and the sudden change of the overall mood was nice and refreshing. I loved the different changes and how the song builds up but I feel like it ends up being too long.
Score: 5

Player: Ravenheart
Artist: Dredg
Song: Cartoon Showroom
Review: What a beautiful song. It’s so peaceful and relaxing with very nice arrangements in the background and a good mood overall. I feel they pay a lot of attention to the details and manage to make the song interesting all the way.
Score: 6

Player: Lonestar
Artist: Beyond the bridge
Song: The difference is human
Review: This song stars and ends really nicely but the middle part lacks some of the energy and feeling. The female voice was quite nice and the keyboard was well used.
Score: 4

Player: Ariich
Artist: Evergrey
Song: Recreation day
Review: Nice metal tune. I liked the powerful hammering and the background keyboard. Nothing that really stands out though.
Score: 4

Score: 3

2 vocalists?!  There were 8 in that song actually. Guess you didn't read my email?

Oh well. Think I know what I'm sending, but will have to ponder.

[Gorille85]

 

[ariich]

2 vocalists?!  There were 8 in that song actually. Guess you didn't read my email?

Yeah for the first few rounds I was sending a description of what makes the song exciting, but I don't think he's been reading them so I don't bother now.

Nothing that really stands out though.
Score: 4

Review: Nice metal tune. I liked the powerful hammering and the background keyboard. Nothing that really stands out though.
Score: 4

Make that two of us ariich, wow, just, wow.

[Nekov]

 

I actually read everything you send, the problem in this specific case jingle is that I read that the day you sent me the email which was a week before I posted results so it was not in my recent memory.

[Scorpion]

Evergrey and Flaming Row rule, no matter what you say. 

Have to check out Time Requiem, though... it sounds cool.

[wolfking]

Time Requiem has Apollo from Firewind on a couple of albums, good stuff.

Add me as a third.

Ok... I just thought I spelled everything out pretty good for you.  Basically, what you're saying is you have a good memory, it just isn't very long.   

[Nekov]

Something like that 

So far jingle is the only one who sent a song. Are you repaying me for taking so long to post the results?

[wolfking]

Song sent.

[Elite]

No, I just have no clue what to send. All 5 songs I sent this far were from 2007 onwards, so choose one of them if you like

Nah, I'll send sth later today.

[ariich]

[Nekov]

Receiveded or something

Results!


Player: jingle.boy
Artist: Consortium Project V
Song: Enemy within
Review: Nice little tune. Not overly flashy, nice vocal melodies and some really nice guitar riffs however it doesn’t feel special to me.
Score: 4

Player: LieLowTheWantedMan
Artist: Maudlin of the well
Song: An Excerpt from 6,000,000,000,000 Miles Before the First, or, the Revisitation of the Blue Ghost
Review: What a nice song. It takes a little bit to take off but when it does it’s great. I even enjoy the calmer first half of the song, it’s very soothing. I really enjoyed all the string work.
Score: 6

Player: Gorile85
Artist: Sigh
Song: Somniphobia
Review: You sure listen to some weird stuff. The vocals kind of killed the song to me but for the most part I liked the instrumentals and the intensity.
Score: 4

Player: Wolfking
Artist: Cloudscape
Song: Cloak & Daggers
Review: Interesting song however after a couple of listens I became a little bored with it. It has some nice riffs, the arab sounding sections are nice but the song as a whole doesn’t stand out.
Score: 4

Player: Ariich
Artist: Within Temptation
Song: Iron
Review: I really enjoyed this song. The vocalist is great, the overall use of the keyboards to provide good background is outstanding and the overall song is really nice
Score: 6

Player: Elite
Artist: Myrath
Song: Madness
Review: Nem sent me a song from these guys in my last roulette but it wasn’t as good as this one. I loved the riffs and the melodies, but I thought the song was too long.
Score: 5

Player: Lonestar
Artist: Stargate
Song: Nothing’s Forever
Review: This song is good until the instrumental comes in. They completely overplay it there and it seems it’s just because they can but not because the song calls for it, like they were masturbating themselves with their instruments.
Score: 3

Player: ReaperKK
Artist: Fair to midland
Song: The Wife, The Kids, And The White Picket Fence
Review: Great song! The vocal melodies are perfect, the sonic atmosphere they generate trapped me instantly and it has a great ending.
Score: 6

Player: Kari
Artist: Frightened Rabbit
Song: Keep Yourself Warm
Review: This song has a great build up and is constantly going up. Despite it being simple everything falls into place everything and the interaction between the instruments creates a very nice atmosphere.
Score: 7

Player: Ravenheart
Artist: Monica Richards
Song: Lureinlay
Review: Very soothing song with some nice vocals. The bass work is simple but fits the song perfectly however I feel that the song went on for too long.
Score: 4

So last week I was very upset and angry and I turned to music to look for some peace which worked pretty well. So I want you to send me peaceful music so the next time that happens I can come down to earth easy.

[lonestar]

Goddammit. Ok, peaceful music, I can do this.
