Y'all are some fucking impatient ass people. My god.
Jk. Here we go.
Round 3 Results:
#8(1 Point): black_floyd – “Insect” – Spiral Architect
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get into anything by this band. This isn’t terrible, I’d still give it a 6/10. It just feels kinda disjointed to me, and I’m not too big on the vocalist. They are damn good at their instruments though. I see why you like this album so much, I just wish I could as well. Thanks for the song though!
#7(2 Points): kingshmegland – “The Caudal Lure” – KarnivoolThis has been a very tough round to rank, and this is a very good song, I just happened to like 6 more songs better. I’m still gonna try and get into this band, this song was rocking, I liked it a lot. Don’t know if you’ve listened to Chevelle at all, but it kinda reminded me of a more progressive version of them, which I think is cool. Nice riffs and the vocalist is good. Cool song!
#6(3 Points): Sacul – “Building Steam with a Grain of Salt” - DJ ShadowCool song, I feel like I’ve heard this before, especially the piano melody that is played throughout. So far I’m liking the variety you’ve sent me, you’ve done well Sacul. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to rank this any higher. But I like how laid back it feels and the funky section in the middle is too cool. Plus, I always thought the use of samples in songs was a neat thing, and it really works well with this one. Nice!
#5(4 Points): Nekov – “Heaven Alive” – OceansizeI’ve never listened to them, but I’ve heard their name tossed around quite a few times on the forum. Is this that band that Zantera is in love with? That might be where I heard them from. I like it, this band plays really tight and this song is kickass. Everything about this song is awesome, especially the vocals. I’ll be sure to check more of them out, I bet they have a lot of other great material. Thanks for the rec!
#4(5 Points): Scorpion – “Death is the Road to Awe” – Clint Mansell (The Fountain)Beautiful! You knew something like this would rank pretty high on here, but why is it not at the top? Because you’re Scorpion, and that’s not allowed. Just kidding, there was just a lot of tough ass competition this round, but this is a beautiful track. Seneca actually sent me this about a year ago, so good job on this one. I feel like this would have ranked higher on another round, but 5 points ain’t so bad. I also need to see this movie, I hear it’s great. There’s a ton of emotion in this piece, it’s epic!
#3(6 Points): senecadawg2 – “Slow Show” – The NationalNow I know why my friend Cody loves this band so much! This song was so beautiful. These last 3 ranks were so hard to figure out, it was almost a tie between this one and the next two. As much as I like the low nearly monotonous vocals, the guitar playing in this song is great. I adore the melody and this song puts me in a really good mood. Can’t wait to hear more.
#2(7 Points): Parama – “City Has No Empathy (Your Sentimental Lie)" - Caligula's HorseWhat a badass song. Seriously. The chorus is perfect. I love the breakdown near the end. Fuck this city. That is all.
#1(8 Points): Elite – “Where Everything’s Perfect” – JollyYAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! The children know what’s up. This song is my favorite of Round 3, and it was close. Very unique and original. Out of all the songs, I listened to this one over and over. I couldn’t get enough of it, and it’s awesome. Haunting and cheerful at the same time, something like that is pretty hard to pull off. It’s funny I typed in Jolly on Spotify and some Spanish dude or something of the like showed up, and it was like some trance pop shit
