Round 9!!
TAC:
Hibria- Screaming Ghost: Hellz yeah with this one! This is another one of those modern metal songs that is done right. This is an old fashioned screaming metal song in the vein of Judas Priest or Primal Fear. Awesome guitar solo and just enjoyed everything about this one. Great choice Tim! 9.5
Evermind:
David Gilmour- Dancing Right in Front of Me: The last round wasn't actually David Gilmour, it was The Answer. This round from EM was Dave and EM predicted a 5/10. Pink Floyd has always been hit or miss from me. Animals, WYWH, and Dark Side are enjoyable all the way through. But other material, that's not always the case for me. This song definitely isn't a fiver, as I found it pretty good. Might be a tad boring, but overall was a good, but mellow tune. 7
Hath:
Joel Hoekstra- The Only Way to Go: I've heard mixed reviews about this album last year, but everything I've heard sounded really good. Still hadn't picked it up, but liked all the samples. And how could I not, Russell Allen and JSS on vocals. This is just fantastic melodic metal and another great selection by Hath! 9
Chad:
Vanden Plas- Rainmaker: This is another band name I've seen countless times, but never checked out. Chad has his niche in melodic progressive metal and this is another song that works on all levels. Just a cool metal song and I should look into VP more; great great song! 9
Wolf:
Evergrey- Mark of the Triangle: Same as VP, I've seen this name bounced around many times. Another great metal song from Kade, who knows his modern metal probably better then anyone on DTF. Vibe on this song reminds me maybe of a combination of Magnitude 9 and Jag Panzer. How can you go wrong with that? 8.5
Paul:
Edguy- Tears of a Mandrake: Like Hammerfall, I should probably like Edguy a bit more then I do. I've given both bands a fair shake, and neither connect overly that much with me. The vocals from Tobias might have something to do with it. I will say the song "Superheroes" is great and probably my favorite from what I've heard from the band. I don't recall if I've heard this song before, but I definitely like it. I liked it, but still not enough to get into Edguy completely. 8
Fluff:
Jerry Garcia- Expressway: Rowan, I truly appreciate the effort, but I find this song the same as the other songs you've sent. Joplin, Stogges and Garcia are all artists that I can respect, but will never get into, no matter what. Not bad at all, this song has a nice easy going vibe, but overall not my thing. 6.5
Brent:
Overlorde- Snow Giant: Yet another mid 80's ass kicking classic metal song that I've never heard of. Brent is the roulette master, and this song is another one that is totally my thing. Fantastic tune and there is a reason the lead singer has the nickname "Leather Lungs". What a cool nickname and totally suits this guy. Very obscure band, but very cool! 10
Splent:
Damn Yankees- High Enough: Sigh...I will be the first to admit that I made a big mistake in the way I set up the Japanese bonus songs for this roulette. The other option of 10 open rounds with all participants having 3 wild cards would have been much more fair and would have worked much much better. I don't think I ever want to buy another Japanese import ever again lol. 11
