Jaffa – Fear Factory – "Supernova"
An okay song. I like what they are going for, but it sounds a bit generic. Maybe that’s because sonically, it’s not great. I’d be interested in hearing a remastered version. They could do awesome things with those harmonies. 2 points
Scorpion – Diablo Swing Orchestra - "Tap Dancer’s Dilemma"
Someone sent me this song for my first roulette. I hated it. My tastes have obviously changed. This song is something else. I honestly haven’t heard anything quite like it, but I dig the swing and virtuosity. It’s a little bit too creepy and demonic sounding for my tastes (those vocals give me chills) but I can appreciate it. 3 points
theseoafs – Ange – "Le bois travaille meme le dimanche"
Tu parle francais? Je l’ai etudie depuis quatre ans. Mais je ne comprends pas beaucoup de mots de ce chanson.
But it’s pretty cool. Beautiful vocals. Solid prog. Really weird. I only gave it one listen because it was so long, but it was really interesting. 3 points
Destiny of Chaos – Therion – "The Rise of Sodom and Gomorra"
A swing and a miss with choosing Therion. I really don’t like this stuff. Stay away from the symphonic metal please. 1 point
lonestar - The Omega Experiment – "Stimulus"
Not my thing, sir. I don’t jive well with this type of genre. You’ll succeed in this contest if you go with something a little more classical (either classic rock or classic metal). 1 point

The theme for Round Two is that it has to be classic rock. I don't care if it's mainstream, odds are I don't know it anyway. If I do, I'll let you know. Don't send a song longer than 10 minutes please.
Round Two, begin!
