Round 5 Results:#8(1 Point): black_floyd – “Inside” – Pain of SalvationI don’t know, I just cannot get into them. They get so much love on this forum but I have yet to really get into them. Everything I’ve heard from them is just kinda meh to me. I’m still going to give them a chance, though. I’ll give The Perfect Element a listen sometime. The music just doesn’t do much for me, and the vocals surely don’t. Gildenlow just isn’t my cup of tea I guess.
#7(2 Points): senecadawg2 – “Smoke and Mirrors” – GotyeNot bad, I feel like it’s just a little long for its own good. Not much I can really say about this one except that it just didn’t wow me. Maybe it’s just the song. It’s got a good sound to it but I’ll check the other stuff from Gotye and see what I can find.
#6(3 Points): Elite – “Tabula Rasa” – SoenSame, as it didn’t really do much for me. It’s got a cool sound and the vocals are nice. I like the Opethy riff around 2:00 though, that’s pretty sick. Still, a good song, and the album art is really neat.
#5(4 Points): Scorpion – “Fishies” – The Cat EmpireHaha, this one is funny. Especially since I’ve been fishing a lot lately, even though this song isn’t really about fishing. I dig the trumpet, it’s what makes the song.
#4(5 Points): Sacul – “Raver” – Burial
You were right, this is a good song to listen to at night, and in fact, I did it while I was driving back to my apartment. It’s chill, very laid back and it’s got a good beat. This stuff is nice to listen to every once in a while. I like what you’ve been sending me so far. Keep it up!
#3(6 Points): Parama – “Buzzcut Season” – LordeRisky, yes. It sure paid off though, I think. You were expecting last and you were far from it. I’ve heard a few tracks from this album, such as “Royals” and “Team”. I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve heard from her, and this song impresses me as well. She can really sing and I love how her songs sound, as they can really breathe. Good choice!
#2(7 Points): Nekov – “Naïve” – DemiansThis song is great. The guitar tones, the vocals, everything just works so well. There’s nothing really fancy about this song, but it just has really good melodies, and it’s catchy. Never even heard of them either, so this is cool!
#1(8 Points): kingshmegland – “More of a Climb, Less of a Walk” – This Day & AgeKinda like Nekov’s song, nothing over the top, but it just has some great melodies. I love the vocalist, he’s got a wonderful voice. And once again, I don’t think I’ve heard of any of the bands you’ve shown me so far, except maybe Karnivool

. This song is beautiful, love the atmosphere. Good driving song, too.
