RESULTS - REMATCH

kingshmegland: This Day And Age – Always Straight Ahead
Rich 3.5 + Other 2.0 = 5.5


Such a nice song, maybe even better than the one you sent me before! I never got round to checking these guys out properly due to lack of them on Spotify, but I think I'll just have to buy something.

Consistently I think in this roulette I've been after edgier, harder and angrier. This could be a theme song for one of those Disney Channel teen dramas. Not my cup of tea. Hope Rich liked it.


lonestar: Mechanical Poet – Old Year's Merry Funeral
Rich 2.5 + Other 3.0 = 5.5


This is quite fun, sort of quirky prog. It seemed to jump around quite a bit though and didn't really hold my attention, and I wasn't too keen on the singer – although he's better than your previous submission. :P

This is the better of the two for me. Up-beat, crunchy. Vocals were a bit meh, but the song was really catchy – with a better singer I think this could have been great.

WINNER: STILL A TIE DAMMIT
We have no way to decide between you, so we're opening it up to everyone. The thread now has a poll added. It will be open for one day, and results won't show until it's finished. Links to the semi-final songs are below. GET VOTING PEOPLE!

Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!?!?!

OK king, round three it is I guess. Time to start kissing some forum ass. :-*

Tricky. After listening to all four songs....king. Sorry, loney.

What if THIS ends in a tie?  That would be awesome  :lol

Both submitted one band I'm familiar with and one I'm not.  I'm going to check out the two songs I don't know, but King has a lot of catching up to do since I like Mechanical Poet a lot more than I like Demians.

Lolzeez

I liked Lonestar's songs more. So my vote goes to Lonestar. You're welcome.

That's why I'm keeping the results hidden until the poll ends - to reduce the risk of this happening.

If it's a tie again then I will ban everyone.

I'm also starting to think that I'm the only one that likes the vocals on that song.

Just to let you both know that the scores are fairly close right now, which means you both need to campaign harder!

I'm not campaigning.  The songs should stand for themselves and if more people like lonestar's.......he should win.  If they like me.....cool!  I just have a blast with this game and I get to check out some cool music I've never heard before!

The whole album is amazing, think I had it at no.30 in my top 50. He has one of the most animated vocal performances I have ever heard, plays so many different charecters on the album.

wasteland

I voted :) Good songs from both of the contestants. Whoever wins will deserve the final  :tup
