How long is the list for roulettes? I want to do another one as long as there's a decent number of people already lined up so there's plenty of time between my first one and the next.

The list is in the OP.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

There was a time when the waiting list was 12+ people deep.  Guess we just haven't got enough new blood come over from DT-side... hence people like me are on their fourth go-around

Parama, I plan on being much stricter and less friendly with the scores in the next one so you'd be out in round 1 anyway  :hat  :lol

I don't even think I made it to Round 1, which meant that you ended up missing out on a shit ton of great music.  Yeah yeah, maybe I should've used in the elimination round..haha

TAC, in hindsight, I listened to that Ascendia album a couple more times in the last month or so... maybe I should've kept you in after all. At the time I was just not digging it, but I think it's a pretty good album. Now I am wondering what I've missed. You old farts dudes have good stuff in your vaults ;)

i wouldn't say i used one of my best ones in the first round since i sent at least three i like more (in the last three rounds of the roulette, as well) but it's up there at least  :corn

got awful scores for two of them too so we are just not a match and i'm fine leaving it at that  :lol
you should've played in my roulette though, i would've loved to cut you

It is a cool album. Starts off a little Lion Kingy, but it settles into a solid album. Over the last couple of years, I have been finding myself a little bored musically. You guys got me in the middle of my Music Midlife Crisis.

The Acsendia is refreshing and a little off my beaten path.

I've used Lor a few times in Roulettes. That's another great album. And even Parama liked Structural Disorder. I love that album.

i genuinely don't know what it was about this one on first listen that turned me off it but it's genuinely one of the best straightforward prog metal albums i've heard this year  :metal one of only 5 albums in the entire roulette that went straight to my purchase list

Their stage presence is mostly pretty spiritual-like, mostly the singer. For me they lit up incense candles and it made Jinn so intense and powerful sounding, I'm sure you'll find some stuff to like about their show man

I wouldn't say it's one of those bands that will really convert a lot of people that didn't originally like Soen after seeing them live though, it's not Amenra or Sunn O))) levels of mesmerizing performance (haven't even seen Sunn O))) tbh but I've heard stories from friends)

I'm sure they'll put on an enjoyable live experience that will be more invigorating than just listening to the album, even if it's not my style of music. At least that's what I'm banking on for a lot of the bands so I'm crossing my fingers  :lol

I think you need to run another roulette, so I can send you stuff. I also think you need to start embracing harsh vocals more. There's so much good stuff out there.

I was on the list but pulled out. I have a vacation coming up, and I was trying to run with a certain format that was getting too clunky to figure out. I will run another one soon enough, once I figure out WTF I want to do.

Elite won't be going into his final round for a few days (he says Tuesday at the earliest) but I was thinking of setting up my new album roulette early as I'm going to have a prelim round open to anyone, so I'd like to leave it open for a good few days to give lots of people a chance to participate (plus give myself extra time to listen to potentially a lot of music!).

Would anyone have any objection to this? Roulette Overlord Bolsters in particular.
