Well, fuck you very much Google Drive. Somehow, my active spreadsheet that I've been using to keep tabs on everything all of a sudden was last saved October 11th - despite my frequent use of CMD + S every time I add something new to any file. So, I had to go back and recreate the scores and rankings for Rounds 4 and 5 all over again. Plus, lost all the first impression comments I had for this round.
Writeups this round might be a little shorter than normal due to the above, and the fact I'm just running out of shit to say.
But, some first impressions, now that I've had another listen tonight ....
upon a dedicate headphone listen, the guitars do sound like shit
nothing was truly spectacular, but it all came together very nicely
2nd half nearly melted my face off
What a fabulous outro
Holy shit does he sound like Roy Khan
Music was really good. Vocally it didn't appeal to me
Most excellent. Great blend of prog and power
Catchy chorus, despite being fairly predictable
