Onno - Lamb Of God - Blood Of The Scribe
2 pointsBoth songs in this tier were a good listen, but a bit too standard in the context of this round and what they went up against.
Mason - The Dear Hunter – Home
2 pointsBoth songs in this tier were a good listen, but a bit too standard in the context of this round and what they went up against.
Mystery - Led Zeppelin - Battle For Evermore
3 pointsYou said you were risking it and staying away from obvious bands that I need to listen to, but I think Led Zeppelin is quite obvious and something I need to listen to
I never liked them a whole lot – was always a Deep Purple/Rainbow/Black Sabbath kinda gal, but I want to remedy that. This song was better than the “greatest hits” of theirs and would have likely scored higher a round or two ago but here it was overshadowed by some others.
Lolzeez – Frank Zappa – Peaches En Regalia
3 pointsSame as Mystery’s song, overshadowed. Lolz was the only person to send me an instrumental instead and I quite liked this – would like to hear an album full of this.
YtseBitsySpider - Shadrane - Lantern's Dance
4 pointsMelodic rock-ish prog with a Jorn-ish singer. Pretty darn interesting and well done, even if I’ve heard many bands in the similar vein. Concept album, you say? This should be looked into…
Elite - Spock’s Beard - All That’s Left
4 pointsOne of those bands near (or right there)-prog royalty that are on the immediate check-out list and you picked me a nice introductory song. In another round, this could have even won, but as I’ve said before this round is quite strong.
Scorp - Devin Townsend – Nobody Here
5 pointsInteresting lyrics improved by great delivery, and the mood in this song is just right. Well done Scorp.
Ruba – Nine Inch Nails - Something I Can Never Have
5 pointsYou’ve really hit the nail on the head here – I’ve been really into something more minimalistic and dark with the mood I had all past week and the lyrics might seem ordinary to some but they were downright painful to me as I’ve had a couple of similar situations in the near past. So, disturbing but good.
Ariich - Thrice – Daedalus
6 pointsEverything scored 4 points and onwards (and even three) is the exact example of what I want to be sent in this roulette but this nailed the round theme too. The delivery is so perfect and the lyrics are perfect as well – the father/son topic is obviously something I can’t relate to as a 20-year-old girl but this set of lyrics was just… especially special. I don’t even like this genre normally! But this song is so good. What the hell. You floored me Rich.
You were great, everyone, and it's still close. The next round is open and you have until another Sunday mooooorning.
