Bolsters™ The Roulette, v2 ★ THE CONCLUSION ★

[Big Hath]

Actually, don't take those bands as a reference for Ska (at least no doubt)

Here you have some ska

agreed.  I was giving examples of bands that are generally associated with the genre and with relatively larger appeal that I would have assumed someone around in the 90's might have heard of.  I wasn't trying to say they were the definition of the genre.

Ok then.  Not unenjoyable - I wouldn't cringe if it was playing at a dinner/house party, but not anything I'd consciously or actively seek out or reach for to press play.

twosuitsluke sounds like someone I'd love as a participant in a roulette, even if he ends up in last place .

This. You were the first one I thought of, with the Caravan Palace, Russkaja and whatnot  a lot of fun to have someone like that in a roulette.

[Sacul]

WTH is "ska"?

A genre that doesn't need post- or -core to be described. 

That doesn't mean it doesn't suck though. I mean, there are genres like shoegaze and dubstep.

Those two definitely suck

Awwww shucks, thanks you guys 

I'll see if I can stay the duration in someone's roulette and try to send completely different genres for each round. Would be a lot of fun.

Speaking of Caravan Palace, I saw them at Boomtown festival last year, my girlfriend is a huge fan, not something I would normally go for but after seeing them live I completely got into them. I've realised there is a pattern forming as I'm going through my library looking for potential roulette songs. All the ones I'm considering are bands that put on an incredible live show and are also mainly fusing multiple genres together. Good times, could get addicted to this.

I have sent. Going the metal approach with this one, I just hope that it doesn't completely blow up in my face.

I didn't know there was any other way.

Iknowright

[Crow]

i didn't send metal

i probably will if i make it to the second prelim tho

[Bolsters]

Everyone sans Sir Walrus Cauliflower has sent. But I'm listening to the playlist...right now!

[Sir Walrus Cauliflower]

Okay sorry I've been trying to send. I can't figure it out on mobile. Is it k if just pm you the song name? I won't have a pc until tomorrow. It's on Spotify.

[Crow]

last.fm isn't scrobbling

That's fine.

last.fm isn't scrobbling 

I've got Spotify set to Private.

Once Sir Walrus Cauliflower has sent, I will post the first blurred image, a completely original idea that I had.

Edit: Also, I want to get through these qualifiers quickly, so I'm not going to put too much time or effort into writeups for 17 songs. A couple of sentences at most is what you're all going to get.

[Crow]

it's a shame i can't just send you my worst stuff straight up so you can give the worst writeups to it

[Crow]

just post the songs outright, i don't even care
i sent number city by coheed & cambria

[Bolsters]

I probably blurred this too much and made it too hard but I don't care.

[Big Hath]

I can actually tell what several of these are pretty easily

[Sacul]

coheed and cambria - nuclear/number city (?)
caligula's horse
within temptation
Rival sons
nightingale?

[Crow]

coheed and cambria - nuclear/number city (?)

i sent number city by coheed & cambria

anyways i can't actually get the picture to load 

[Fluffy Lothario]

Dream Evil
Muse - Butterflies and Hurricanes
Angels and Airwaves
M81?
Larry and his Flask? Is that a band?

[Sacul]

Didn't read through the thread nor that message, and barely know the band so 

 

[Bolsters]

I'll have to make the next one harder, then.

[Sacul]

Nocturnal rites?
Gojira?

[Bolsters]

Gojira?

This one is most definitely incorrect.

[Crow]

Within Temptation - See Who I Am
dunno this at all but nice

Epysode - Forgotten Symphony
no clue, youtube'd the song title to find the band

Dream Evil - Chasing the Dragon
never heard of it

Caligula's Horse - Rust
not the song i would have sent (firelight or marigold tbh) but a good one nonetheless

Larry and his Flask - Ready Your Roomates
could only make out the band name, youtube'd to find the song

The ? Group - King For A Day
youtube won't help you now

Wildbirds & Peacedrums - The Offbeat
god bless youtube, i can't believe this showed up with such a common word

Coheed & Cambria - Number City
me

M83 - Ok Pal
I don't actually know this song, but this was just too easy

Caligula's Horse - Marigold
omg 

Nocturnal Rites - Still Alive
dunno this either but i can read it

Muse - Butterflies and Hurricanes
this should be interesting

? - ?
too blurred

Rival Sons - ?
i can only figure this one out because of Sacul, I can't read this one otherwise

Ghost Ship Octavius - Pendulum
youtube

Angels & Airwaves - can't tell tbh
dunno this either

? - ?
nope, too blurred

got most of 'em at least

[Sacul]

ghost ship oscillation - pendulum???

ok enough for today

Number City is a cool song. Not what I would necessarily go with, even just from Descension, but it's cool. And it's one of those that's a bit creepy as to why it's cheery, given the subject matter.

That is all. I'm not in this roulette, I just wanted to comment on that.

[Crow]

it's my fav from descension and maybe my fav of both afterman discs, i dunno, domino is tough competition

go back to judging the championship roulette now

[Sir Walrus Cauliflower]

I sent Rust by Caligula's horse.

Parama:

Didn't even send anything.

-3.5/5


Domino is probably the best on either album. I like Sentry the Defiant, The Hard Sell and Gravity's Union.

[senecadawg2]

Last time I saw Coheed live, they were on tour with Thank You Scientist and the brass from the latter joined in for a special performance of Number City. Highlight of that show--really cool song.

Domino is great too, not sure how I'd rank that album. It's really consistent.

[Crow]

aww man, i saw Coheed w/ TYS & Cursive and we didn't get Number City at all, i think we got Sentry from Afterman instead which is great sure but not one of the best
