Yeah, that was an impressive recovery.  Ninth place in round 1, top of the pack in round 2.  Well played!

I have to say, posting these rankings is kind of tough.  I feel legitimately bad for the people who submitted songs I didn't like much.   :lol  Sorry Nekov!  Sorry lonestar!  Please don't hate me!

Not to make it any harder on ya, but the guitarist for that band is a regular here.  :biggrin:


Surprising that it was the vocals that killed it for ya, that is one of the stronger points for me. Oh well, taste is taste man. A happy song, huh? Let's see if I can send you something that will have you shooting rainbows out of your ass man.

... Well, with any luck, he won't read this thread, and I won't have to feel like a total dick. 

Yeah, I'm still not sure what the problem is, but I've listened to the song a couple more times now, and while the music is very good, the vocals just rub me the wrong way for some reason.  :(

Jaffa

A Steven Wilson song at #1! How incredibly unsurprising. :lol

#6 is still a bit lower than I would like, but I'm glad I'm still in this! Will ponder what to submit for this round and send shortly.

EDIT: Screw it, I know exactly what I'm sending and I'm going to do it momentarily before someone else does. If someone sent a Steven Wilson song, I might as well send something totally obvious as well.

I know, right?  I honestly never expected myself to join the TRTRTS bandwagon, but fuck, that song is amazing!   :lol

EDIT:  And yes, everyone should feel free to submit stuff that seems too obvious.  There are a lot of artists that I've heard of on this forum but never actually listened to.  Of course, there's always a chance you'll submit something I have already heard, but if that happens, I'll just politely ask you to submit something else.

Frost* is out!?!?!   :omg: :omg: :omg:  Guess I can take them off my potential list too!  :jets:

Happy??  Happy??  Why is that a theme so often??  Happy often equals crappy!!   :rollin

I'll see what I can dig up.  But if Frost* isn't your cup of tea... :wtf:

 :lol  Hey, if you want to take a gamble and send another Frost* song, I'm open to giving them another chance.  Maybe it was just that particular song.  And even then, I did like it musically in a lot of ways, it was just... well, one of the YouTube comments said that the song had "a drastic change from an eerie melody into a rock rush."  I agreed, and I thought it was really cool at first, but then it went back to the eerie melody, and then it went back to the rock rush, and the way it kept going back and forth prevented it from building any momentum on either front.  Or at least that's the way I felt about it, and repeated listens haven't really changed that.  Sorry!  Call me crazy!   :lol

eek, my head was close to the choping block.  That surprised me actually.

Well, for what it's worth, this one I have enjoyed more upon revisiting it. 

I feel like such a villain right now.

Jaffa

I told you that you would regret going with a stack-rank system.   ;D

Don't sweat it... Roulette's are the perfect breeding ground for whiny bitches.

No kidding!  Since Subsignal is Sieges Even reincarnated.

That's okay, prog isn't the sort of genre you can count on first impressions.  But I forgive you.  :tup

Do I get a token or idol or certificate to represent the immunity?

Here you go.  Ribbed just for your pleasure.



Hey adace, don't forget the immunity token. I kinda washed them.....

I think it is the first time I've seen Frost* do that poorly in a Roulette.  Dem's tastes for ya!

Ha, yes, you did.  But really, I doubt anyone's self-esteem hangs on how well they do in this roulette, so I don't think I can do too much damage.  As long as nobody ends up totally hating me, I'll be okay.

Well, it seems I'm definitely the odd one out here, so feel free to write this off as me just being a crazy person.   :lol  At any rate, once again, thank you for participating!

I was kind of worried there, I knew there was no telling how you would react to "Used"! :lol

Let me know if it grows on you! :)

I'll have to think about the next one.

So, the song I want to send isn't on youtube. Does anyone have any good tips on how to send it anyway? I could send the link to the whole album on youtube with a timestamp if that's allright with Jaffa.

Hey! Pareidolia is better than Cockroach King!

And someone already sent Pain of Salvation then. Shit, I'll have to think of something else now.
Hey dude slow the fuck down so we can finish together at the same time.  :biggrin:

I've received submissions from seven participants so far, but one of them is going to have to pick something else.  After that, I'll just be waiting on two.

See, another bad thing about eliminating me (other than the fact that Frost* is awesome) is that I'm very timely about sending songs, not like some other people  :P
