If a certain someone were to send Gojira in this roulette, are they automatically removed from the roulette or will you atleast try to like it. It's in my nature to fill big holes.

Crow · « **Reply #370 on:** August 10, 2016, 08:49:31 AM »

gojira scored like a 6.5/10 in my last roulette, and i've never really cared for a single song i've heard from them

#10: LordCost: Sleepytime Gorilla Museum – The Donkey-Headed Adversary Of Humanity Opens The Discussion

[...] The heavy parts have no power to them, they feel robotic and jagged in the worst ways, without any real punch, and they all blend together. The quieter moments do have an appealing playfulness to them, but they have no atmosphere and no real emotive presence either. The song is incredibly dry to listen to and just leaves me feeling nothing, and without any memorable riffs or beautiful melodies, with the harsh gruff vocals that have no emotion to them, it’s just unpleasant to listen to.

I understand why you would find this track unpleasant (and to each is own), but to say it has "no real emotion presence" is misleading. Music isn't just about "beautiful melodies" and simple emotions that can be easily categorized. There is a lot going on here, not only on a technical level. It's just that the internal meaning of the song is less obvious and much harder to grasp than most rock bands. I've come to accept the fact that this kind of music is only accessible if you're used to listen to classical music (especially 20th century classical music) or post 60's jazz, because they work the same way and seek for a more complete human experience, that involves not only emotions (even if subtle ones, and weird and jagged ones too, because the human experience is that way) but also intellect, critical distance, and abstract thinking, than most modern pop/rock music, which is mostly obvious and only seeks an immediate response from the listener.

To put it bluntly, the SGM stuff involves real emotions. The reified version of emotions that most rock and pop music sells you as "honest" or whatever, and is in reality contrived and conventional, does not.

On another note, "The Donkey-Headed Adversary Of Humanity Opens The Discussion" is one of their most accessible tracks, so you can skip the rest.
reminder: this is all my opinion, and when i say something has no emotional presence, that's because it makes me feel nothing

this post is literally the pretentious garbage i'm talking about though, can you please get out of my thread?

Agree that it should be obvious that you were talking about your own opinions so fair enough, but you didn't need to be quite so mean in response.

Digging your writeups by the way. Just started following roulettes again!

PSA that I updated the round structure after thinking about it for a bit longer.
Next round will be the two-song round, because the way I'm eliminating people that round requires at least two sacrifices. To make up for that, I changed the round after to be a semi-epic round, where you can send me any of those sweet 10 to 15 minute songs you've been holding. And then the epic round after that as usual.
