Evermind/Elite: Anciients – Raise The Sun/The Longest River

Alright I don’t know if I’m going to do duplicate band results like this every time but I think with this kind of thing it’s interesting to compare the two. Can already tell that they won’t receive the same score though.

<snip>

...and so I came up with the same score for both Anciients songs.

7.75/10

Okay then.

Eh I had a feeling. Thought of better stuff to send as soon as I sent it. Last week was absoutely crazy so I just ended up sending for the sake of sending rather than using my best judgement, based on your like of Steven Wilson and Porcupine Tree I thought that would be OK, but I haven't listened to OSI extensively in years.

I'm going to use one of my bonuses this round, I know what bonus, just need to decide which one to send.

whoops

now that the cat's out of the bag, at first it was 7.5 for RTS and 8.0 for TLR but they evened out a few days later in the final stages of scoring.

That makes sense, I got a strong SW vibe from the vocals at a few points but it's just on another level for me. Also not the biggest SW fan but I do really enjoy what I've heard so far from his solo stuff and PT.

Surprised to see Dir en Grey won the round. I'm a little jealous as I was planning to send a Dir en Grey track next with hopes of getting a 7.0 or 8.0 max and then a bonus for foreign language. I probably would have sent something off Oroboros as well

Really glad to see them scoring highly though

I know what you mean about the Korn bass sound. They do go a bit Nu-metal at times it must be said. Still haven't listened to their most recent album yet.

Train of Naught · « **Reply #635 on:** June 27, 2016, 01:58:57 PM »

I had to look back into my youtube search history because I knew I checked out a Dir En Grey song at some point and it was the song with a video clip of them in glass boxes, called Uroko. I was kinda terrified of their music at that point

but this song really hit me, best song of the roulette so far

I'm sure this album will be a beast.

Crow · « **Reply #636 on:** June 27, 2016, 02:12:40 PM »

maybe you should've sent them instead of oceans of slumber

Tomislav95 · « **Reply #637 on:** June 27, 2016, 02:15:10 PM »

Yep, Dir En Grey are crazy. I think I first saw it on somebody's top 50 list back when I joined DTF.
EDIT: Found it, it was Zantera's list in 2013.

twosuitsluke · « **Reply #638 on:** June 27, 2016, 02:22:39 PM »

Don't think I've ever seen any of their music videos, bet they are all kinds of crazy. I think I may have sent you a song called Macabre actually if I had sent Dir en Grey. It's one of my favourites by them and I think one of the first ones my old flat mate played to me 10 years ago

Crow · « **Reply #639 on:** June 27, 2016, 02:26:02 PM »

I'm going to avoid listening to them so that one of you can send them in my roulette

Train of Naught: Dir En Grey - Dirt and Gray

No, I'm happy with the way things happened. I would have sent a different song by Dir en Grey, got a low score, witnessed you getting a high score with Winter next round, lost all faith in my self, questioned my very existence and gone into a never ending spiral of depression. I've already suffered the blow of the UK population voting us out of the EU, couldn't have taken that as well!!

Crow · « **Reply #642 on:** June 27, 2016, 03:13:44 PM »

I sent a song even better than winter this round anyways, so I'll be getting a 6/10

Scorpion · « **Reply #643 on:** June 27, 2016, 03:20:27 PM »

Fuck yes! Finally somebody who appreciates the fucked-up beauty of Vinushka.

Also, don't be surprised if some more Japanese stuff just might come your way.

Sacul · « **Reply #644 on:** June 27, 2016, 04:37:59 PM »

I need more Japanese music in my life tbh.

Bolsters · « **Reply #645 on:** June 27, 2016, 10:02:46 PM »

Kind of disappointed with an 8 actually, I had higher expectations for that song.

Edit: submitted my next song through Spotify.

Train of Naught · « **Reply #646 on:** June 28, 2016, 11:47:46 AM »

I gots half the submissions in, and splent you can still submit a guess for bonus round #3, it's listed at the bottom of round 3 results.

So I'll take 6 more songs and 7 more guesses

Truth. Though Dir En Grey being Japanese did not influence my scoring at all. Sometimes it adds to my enjoyment when there's foreign lyrics, while here it was just the song being fucking great.

Elite · « **Reply #647 on:** June 28, 2016, 02:04:10 PM »

I'll send you 6 songs then.

I was thinking Napalm Death - You Suffer

twosuitsluke · « **Reply #650 on:** June 28, 2016, 02:51:41 PM »

Sent. I'm surprisingly above the cut off point now and want to stay there. I don't want to try and play it too safe but also don't want to drop a few places and get eliminated

Just got to go with my gut I guess. Don't want to just send stuff that has progressive metal elements. Going to send some more straight forward metal and possibly some unexpected genres.

Elite · « **Reply #651 on:** June 28, 2016, 03:01:42 PM »

The bonus points list in post #2 has not been updated yet.

It's clearly updated though I don't know what he's talking about

Glad you liked Slowdive's version of Golden Hair! Sent a song trough Spotify, I hope that worked.

Quote from: Train of Naught on June 27, 2016, 09:38:00 AM

I don’t know if it’d be awkward to attend a band like this live but this crowd seems pretty legit. I would probably just want to listen to music like this when I’m alone in the perfect setting, but whatever floats their boat.

I wonder how it is to see music like this live, it does seem so.. magical or something. I haven't seen any shoegaze or postrock live yet though, (I am really looking forward to seeing Sigur Ros at Lowlands

)

Elite · « **Reply #657 on:** June 29, 2016, 03:59:14 AM »

Sent very ghastly music through Spotify.

Need 425, Sacul and Scorpion still

425 · « **Reply #661 on:** June 29, 2016, 09:52:11 AM »

Sent. Still haven't used a bonus

May try to line up three straight bonuses for the next three rounds, if I think I can swing that.

Sacul · « **Reply #662 on:** June 29, 2016, 10:38:19 AM »

Sent my fav song of the year, a 14-min instrumental

425 · « **Reply #663 on:** June 29, 2016, 11:09:54 AM »

Tfw Sacul halves the length of his chosen instrumental and it's still long enough to count as his one epic.

is it kashiwa daisuke or whatever
