Aw man, sorry to hear that. Don't rush anything and take a well-deserved rest. We'll still be here tomorrow.
you hang in there.
Thanks
ROUND 7 RESULTSThis is one of the closest rounds so far I think!
Elite: Pain of Salvation – Iter ImpiusGreat song, though I’m not particularly fond of the vocals. It’s a cool song and I love the piano intro, but I don’t think it’s absolutely amazing. I guess I just don’t really like PoS or something.
7.8/10
Lolzeez: Solaris – M’ars PoeticaReally interesting prog instrumental from the eighties. I’m curious why this is such an unknown band, ’cause this is good stuff.
8.0/10
lonestar: Karnya – When The Silence Remains...
Hey man, good news for you! I like it
It’s way better than your previous entries.
8.2/10
Dr. DTVT: Evergrey – Recreation DayReally cool proggy metal song with some great solos, vocals and softer parts. Great!
8.3/10
Big Hath: Riverside – Reality Dream IIIMore prog instrumentals! This one’s great too, really heavy. I like it.
8.5/10
black_floyd: Gordian Knot – MutterspracheAnother great instrumental. Some great solos, it doesn’t drag, it’s cool. Don’t know what else to say really
8.5/10
MoraWintersoul: Seventh Wonder – Hide and SeekHey, this is a really cool entry. It’s proggy as I requested. It has some really cool sections, and the singer is good. The lyrics are good, and it’s from a concept album as well? I should listen to this album sometime!
8.7/10
crazyaga: Dark Suns – MegalomaniacsWow, what a fantastic mellow prog rock song. I love it! The vocals are great. Everything is so subtle; it reminds me of Heritage by Opeth a bit. And that’s good, ‘cause Heritage is one of my favourite Opeth albums. I also love the subtle piano and accordion sounds. It’s fantastic!
9.0/10
Scorpion: Ozric Tentacles – CoilyYou said this was somewhat progish? Well, I think this definitely is prog. And it’s great! Nice instrumental that never once drags. Fantastic.
9.0/10
Nihil-Morari: Transatlantic – Mystery TrainWoohoo, Transatlantic. I had listened to The Whirlwind once or twice and then I’d forgotten all about them. Well, I shouldn’t have. This is great.

And now, we're on a highway to hell. I've got a baaaad feeling about this.
ROUND 8: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GARBAGE?!?!?! MY FUCKING EARS ARE BLEEDINGSend me a song of one of the following genres that I absolutely do not like!
Hip-hop/rap
Most electronic shit (dubstep, techno, house, dance, you get the point...)
Deathcore/grindcore
R&B/soul
German folk music (Schlager to be more precise)
Dutch folk music (smartlappen in particular)
Gospel
J-pop, K-pop etc
A few
important points here.
- I must be able to easily identify the song you send me with one (or more) of the previously mentioned genres. In other words, if you send me a song that's for example only partly electronic, I may decide that it doesn't fit the theme well enough, and I have every right to ask for another. I will listen to the song once as soon as I receive it to determine this, in order to prevent chaos ensuing after the deadline is over.
- If you think you have found a genre that I hate as much as those previously mentioned, you may ask me in this thread. For I probably forgot some genres, and if you manage to find another one I will add it to the list.
- Banned specifically for this round (might update this during the round, I will tell you if I do)
- Radiohead (still want to listen to them sometime, and Kid A is entirely electronic IIRC)
- more might be added
The deadline for this round is this Sunday, 21:00 CET.
