ROUND SEVEN
Elite and Scorpion
Across the Delta - The LoopThe drumming in this song was really cool, and the overall structure of the song was really interesting. There were bits and pieces I really liked, and then other parts that I thought were incredibly dreadful. The vocals really lack any sort of melody during the verses, which threw me off a bit, and the overall feel of the song was jarring at bits. Otherwise, though, it was a pretty sweet song.
3.5/5---
crazyaga and MoraWintersoul
Dynamics Lights - One Thousand NothingThis song was pretty cool. A bit long seeing as it didn't really have anything in it that excited me a ton. The piano around eight minutes was amazing, though, I would have liked to have heard more of that. otherwise, the vocals were very plain, and the melodies weren't very memorable. Still, not a bad song, and plus points for the usage of piano again.

lolzeez
Talk Talk - The RainbowAh, Talk Talk. A very influential band on the post-rock genre...'twas a solid song. Very jazzy in places, very atmospheric in others. The song didn't really pull my attention in fully, though. It felt like it was wandering most of the time, and thus my attention did as well. However, I liked the song structure and the melodies were very intriguing.
3.5/5---
WindMaster and kari
Slowdive - AlisonThis song was really atmospheric and had a nice feeling to it. I loved the dreamy feel, something that you often get with shoegaze such as this. Overall I thought that the song had a lot of really cool things going on in it but unfortunately it didn't really stand out as something incredible. Despite this, I still really enjoyed it.
4/5---
Zantera and LieLow
Immanu El - White Seraphs WildThis song was really cool. Beautiful piano with an amazing buildup. The song was very Sigur Ros-esque, and the vocals just exemplified that. I was really drawn into the soundscape of the entire song, and overall I really, really enjoyed it. Going to have to check out more by these guys. Everything felt really light and ethereal and it definitely made me want to hear more.

STANDINGS:
LieLow - 32.5
kari - 30.5
WindMaster - 30
Elite - 28.5
Zantera - 28
Scorpion - 28
crazyaga - 26
Lolzeez - 26
MoraWintersoul - 25This round was alright. Nothing really knocked my socks off other than Zantera and LieLow's submissio (kinda), though, which is kind of disappointing, seeing as I thought you all would work together to bring out the top guns. Oh well, still some very interesting stuff that I will definitely check out. I really did enjoy the pair-ups, though, I predicted them pretty well.
In any case.
ROUND EIGHTThis round will be open. Send me whatever you want. The biggest thing with this round is that the top four competitors points-wise will move on to the final, ninth round after this round. However, for those of you in lower places, do not fear! You have the option of wagering as many points as you have earned this round. If your songs is one of the top four, you will gain all of those points, and if you are in the other five places, you will lose them. This means you should strategically wager points-- if you send something you're iffy about, don't wager all 27 of your points (or whatever.)
This round is basically the most important round when it comes down to it-- if you don't end up in the top this round, it's all over for you. So do your best, send me what you think I will enjoy, and whatever happens, happens. Good luck.
