I knew Scorpion sent Celestial Violence but damn, that's TDH gone aswell. I'm glad you liked both aswell as my song though :tup that's the whole purpose of roulettes and I consider it a win too if you liked those.

TDH was on my mind for next round though, so now I have an easier time picking my song, I know what I'll send and normally I wouldn't be super confident but I think it fits 'joyous' pretty much perfectly.

Sending NOW (sent)

not as hard as you'd think.

i mean i didn't send something with all growls but i did send mathcore, so
The Parama Escape Plan

Second edit:

Just reading through other writeups now.  :metal for getting into Royal Blood as of lately, I have a bad feeling the second album will not live up to the debut judging from the new song but they are just amazing, you liking them gives me a new window of opportunity for this roulette. It's one of my favorite bands in the genre if not favorite, based on what we have from them now.

TDH are not really easy to define with just one label (pop-rock or progrock or w/e), you'll see, should probably start with Act IV, the album Waves is on.

Iter Impius wtf

ikr

And Royal Blood are incredible. I hope their new album will be good, but the first is already pretty much unforgettable, for me.

I know, that's basically a perfect prog song, and in my top 3 PoS songs probably.

Just curious, the themed round 'Unique', is that something you'll elaborate on more when the time comes or is this round just anyone's interpretation of unique music? Need to know this because I have an album/song I consider very unique, and I want to know if it would be a waste to hold on to it, especially because we can't even be sure whether we'll make it to that round.

I love happy/uplifting/joyous (whatever) rounds btw, I don't think I ever had to pick from so many different shit in a roulette but I stand by my choice. I'm going to have a hard time picking something that fits the dark round though :lol

Made an off the cuff kind of decision, will probably regret it but I stand by the song as it has brought me LOTS of joy over the years!!

The sort of song I would blast whilst leaving work on a hot, sunny day and singing my heart out. The best way to enjoy music.

All good, will save my unique song for when I'm sure whether I'll make the 9th round or not then. :tup

I didn't comment about The Dear Hunter by the way. Yes, Waves is kind of a poppy song but it doesn't really represent them as a band. I played it safe with that song. I'd second what ToN said and get Act IV immediately. Waves works well as part of the album as a whole but if you listen to maybe A Night on the Town or Wait then they are very different sounding songs that show how varied their sound can be. I still haven't got around to listening to Acts I-IV consecutively with the lyrics yet but I'm 100% sure my love for the band will grow even more at this point, and I already love this band a LOT!!

Act II is better than Act IV though.

Act IV has a special place for me as it was the album that REALLY got me into this band. I just personally think it's way more consistent than Acts II and III (I also think it doesn't suffer from that dragging feeling that Acts II and III that have at points). I do enjoy every single one of their albums though.

TDH is one of the only 'big' bands that I miss, I think I'll have a listen to Act IV relatively shortly.

BTW yes, you'll get tidbits as usual, and from this round the blurred list. Stay tuned.

TDH is one of the only 'big' bands I have the guts sending in roulettes as of now, usually when people don't know the big bands it means they tried and weren't fond of them, but for The Dear Hunter no one really knows the range of their sound so it's always worth trying when you kinda know the hosts tastes.

Apart from Xerath it's probably the band I've gotten the best reception of in roulettes. Kind of makes me curious what a full ranking of bands sent in roulettes based on their average scores would look like, too bad it's virtually impossible considering all the different parameters come into play and the amount of time it'd take.

BTW yes, you'll get tidbits as usual, and from this round the blurred list. Stay tuned.

The TDH song you sent me was awesome. I own Act I and Act II now, but I'm waiting to get both Act III and Act IV to start listening. I want the full experience.
This first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff.

Yeah, the whole I-IV run would definitely be optimal, hope you'll have luck finding those others. If you like the more serious side of TDH aswell you're all set, you're in for a fun ride. And it's basically one big musical experience spread over 6 albums (Act V and VI are yet to be released though), huge concept albums are my favorite thing ever.

Will they be open for submission in your next roulette? :metal

Not sure why this song exists, but it makes my day more interesting, I confess.

Quite a different entry from you, this time around. Love the choral vocals here, it's pretty fun.

Having recently read and watched The Great Gatsby, this fits incredibly well in the mindset of that story.

This song is quite good, but it's not the most fun I've ever gotten out of this particular genre.

This is probably the less creative song you've sent me. It's not even that happy so.. eh.

This is basically a cheesier version of Rush, and that's not a bad thing.

Quality entertainment. That's all there is to say about this one.

This sounds like a song straight out from a campfire or a musical. It's quite easygoing, if you know what I mean. Not that awesome, but still
enjoyable.


It's certainly not the best I've heard from this band, but it doesn't need to be. It does its job greatly. Reminds me of early Coldplay,
which is a good thing.


I like the groove in this song, and I think it would fit greatly in a movie. The chorus is catchy at it makes my head bob a lot. It's pretty infectious overall, also
because of the bassline.


I fucking love songs like these. You probably hit the soft spot for me right there. Insanely reminds me of a band from my country.

Looks like this is mine, and by the looks of the song placements Parama is taking the lead here, with Tyrias in second place? But it looks like I'll still be very much in the game with this score :metal
