and now, parama reviews the evermind roulette album (disc 1)
1. Flash Point
i kinda dig this, the main riff is cool but I don't really care for the synth mixed into it. not a huge fan of the singer's voice but it's alright. felt way longer than 6 minutes though

2. Still Alive
okay this just feels like very standard and solid power metal, so i'm not surprised evermind loved it
3. Landfill
this is the kind of nice, weightless little ballad that i'd probably like more if i listened to it 5 times but doesn't hit me that hard on first listen
4. Broken Wings
this was fairly standard power metal stuff too but also kind of lacked any dynamics, the verse and chorus were at the same level so it felt kinda monotonous
5. The Bitter Suite IV and V
so i listened to I and II just yesterday on a completely different site, how about that. a bit slow to start but when this kicks in it's really fun. maybe not much more than that, but it's alright
6. Paranoid Circus
i'm just going to guess that every other track on here is going to be solid but unmemorable power metal
7. Painted Skies
i actually like this a decent bit, the vocals are again not 100% my thing but they're solid. maybe a bit long for a piano ballad? i'd probably like this less if i had to listen to it 5 times tho
8. Last Chance
wow, this is actually really cool and i might revisit it
9. Self-Blinded Eyes
this is slightly better than solid but unmemorable power metal, maybe it's the vocals, it's probably the vocals, they're p. good
10. Moonhorse
i listened to this entire thing and kind of didn't get a lot out of it but what i did i liked? the guitar tone is cool, the riffs are pretty nice and sludgy
11. The Idol
i hate the intro bit of this obv but. anyways this is all-around pretty solid honestly but i'd need more listens to fully appreciate it, which i will probably not give
12. Pride (The Warrior's Way)
okay the start of this is actually gorgeous and amazing

the vocalist here is pretty good too, throughout this song is pretty rad. this would've prob gotten like a 9 in my first roulette tbh
i'm pretty sure the second disc is going to kill me so i'll listen to it later
tho i already listened to the edenbridge song too so i probably won't again
