Sacul's controversial roulette v2. UNNECESSARY EPILOGUE

[mikemangioy]

Sent some crazy Tim Burton-ish death classical spasmic prog metal.

[Crow]

you sent DSO? yes i know dso is banned

[mikemangioy]

Think Between The Haken And Queen. That's all I'll say.

[Train of Naught]

If it's what I think it is, I literally wanted to send them next round, it fits pretty much both those descriptions, though I'm not too sure if it can be labeled 'death' metal

[mikemangioy]

If it's what I think it is, I literally wanted to send them next round.

You were the one to get me into them. Yes, they're in your top 50.

[Train of Naught]

Oh, that's pretty cool! I'm rooting for you to be a close second for this first round, behind me of course.

[Crow]

looking over train's top 50 list i think i have a good idea of who you sent, except you sent a very standard song from them in my roulette as far as i can remember (i actually don't remember what the song sounds like at all... )

[Sacul]

Have your results

(mikmangioy) Adrenaline Mob - Bike-Metal

lol no.

Score: 0/5

But.. if it's the band I'm thinking about, I didn't even send it in your roulette  (now browsing through my own top 50 because I have no idea which band you're talking about)

Have your results

(mikmangioy) Adrenaline Mob - Bike-Metal

lol no.

Score: 0/5

Nope, it's my first time sending a song of theirs.

[Crow]

i was talking to train but ok
i guess it wasn't what i thought it was

[Train of Naught]

Yeah, I wouldn't classify Slash as Tim Burton-ish death classical spasmic prog metal but nice guess

[Crow]

i wasn't talking about slash 

[Tyrias]

Sent some kind of Power Metal. Hoping for better results than the last time I sent you a Power Metal song .


Also, I promise you won't always get an essay along with the song

[splent]

 I was just wondering... Is the kiss on your list?



:obscure80sreference:

[Sacul]

How about a book next time? 

EDIT: 11 songs so far, wow! I've gotta say, I'm enjoying the variety of these tunes

[Sacul]

Bumping to officially start the roulette since 14 of you have already sent and there's only one album left to be revealed on my top 50. So those who haven't sent (aka Evermind ) have 48 hours to do so. If everything goes fine, expect results this Monday evening (GMT -3).

[Evermind]

Yeah, I'll send today after work.

[Sacul]

Expecting some tasty power metal 

[Crow]

kamelot isn't banned so you'll probably get that at some point

[Sacul]

Well, I got Memento Mori my last round and it was quite meh, so they ain't banned, but who knows 

[Train of Naught]

Sent Mehmento Mori

[Evermind]

Well if you have Kamelot on your list...

[Sacul]

Oh, do I? Didn't notice, honestly

[Train of Naught]

He added random albums that we like to boost our confidence in our own music tastes. For a second I thought I wasn't the only person on earth who digs Noisia, then again, Sacul how the fuck do you even know Noisia?

[Evermind]

Oh, do I? Didn't notice, honestly

I don't know, I was writing that what work and I implied that if you have it, you'll probably get it.

I have no clue - I've added records from many, MANY different sources, like:

   
• RYM lists
• DTF Top 50 lists
• SputnikMusic's top albums of each genre
• RYM's top albums of each genre
• Best of The Year lists
• Lots of /mu/'s essentials flowcharts (for instance, all of this is included on the list)
• Some friends recommendations
• DTF favs
• Albums/Bands found through plug.dj sessions (gosh, how I miss that site  )
• Some records with nice covers found on What Album Are You Listening To?
• Essential trip-hop, essential electronic music, and essential Japanese music lists

Lots were added knowing I wouldn't really like them, but who knows - never expected to like Welcome to Sky Valley, for instance, yet I'm digging it a lot.

Just checked, and looks like they aren't on the list. Wouldn't have surprised me if they were on it tho

[Evermind]

Sent. Wonder if Elite cockblocked me on that one... we shall see in a few minutes, I guess.

[Sacul]

I guess Elite went with another of his favorite albums, so you're in

Now:

[...] expect results this Monday evening (GMT -3).

I was tempted to post a little part of the writeups later today, but dunno if I'll end up doing so. We shall see.

Doooooooo eeeeeeeet.........

[Evermind]

Alright then! I sent the same band I opened with in the first Sacul roulette.

[Sacul]

Doooooooo eeeeeeeet.........

I was about to discard that idea, but then this inspired me:



A bit of a pity nobody sent me black metal tho. Anyways, already listened to Ev's song, so here they are all, in random order:


Well this is pretty nice. I dig the combination of robotic vocals with the real ones...

This has some nice acoustic layering, and I like his voice, how intimate it all feels.

So after checking like half of these guys' discography, and not really digging it, I kinda liked this album so added it to the list to check it later. But forgot to do so lol. This is definitely the best [band] song I've heard so far...

The fuck is this

Nice electronics? The melodies aren't that good tbh.

I guess this one is a grower. Goes places, yes, but seems a bit unfocused.

Better than most power metal I've heard at least.

Well this is not what I expected. This song is a bit weird, atonal at times, and pretty dark. Yet it doesn't appeal me that much...

Tbh, although I have listened to little [band], I definitely prefer their instrumental pieces...

Well, I really dig those vocal harmonies throughout the song. It has some epic moments too. Yup, I'm quite digging this piece.

But man, this is just pure fun, and some excellent joyful stuff.

It has an interesting dark circus vibe I quite dig tho.

I dig this one quite a lot, yet my complaint is that on the second half he does some weird noises/screams that turn me off a bit.

I actually expected a heavier song, but instead this is a... ballad? I really dig the atmosphere and the electronic sounds...

Nothing wrong with the song, is short and catchy, and does its job well. I feel it's a tad bit too short tho.

[Train of Naught]

I read this and thought to myself this must be mine, then I read this:

Nothing wrong with the song, is short and catchy, and does its job well. I feel it's a tad bit too short tho.

Most likely the last one.

Reading a lot of negative/meh stuff tho so I think I did alright on this one

[splent]

Tbh, although I have listened to little [band], I definitely prefer their instrumental pieces...

I'm like 99% sure this is mine

[Fluffy Lothario]

I know which is mine, but I ain't spoiling it for everyone.
