Final Round First Impressions
This definitely just struck on a mood really well and I’m kinda wishing it was twice as long as it is, but oh well.
It’s got this “not quite metal but still a bit heavy” vibe to it. Maybe not so sure about those vocals, they kind of lack presence or power.
The song does a solid job of being dynamic enough even when maintaining a quiet mood.
I think Train really liked this one if I’m remembering correctly. I can see it really being up his alley, yeah.
The riffs and groove of this one are pretty solid and there’s a nice amount of dynamics to it. It doesn’t feel particularly fresh but it’s fine on the whole.
Despite its length it goes quite a number of places and I quite like where it does go.
The strings and piano and whatnot are all used pretty well and give the song a really organic feel that I quite like.
On the whole I like this, though there are some weird choices and it feels like it lacks… something, to make it really work.
This is basically the kind of song that I don’t mind listening to but doesn’t stand out enough in any way for me to really remember much about it, I feel.
Yeah, I really feel the power behind this one, whew. The singer nails it during parts of this one and the music’s doing a good job of backing him up.
Musically this song is fine enough, pretty solid though not hitting me especially hard, so hopefully the vocals grow on me because they’re not doing much for me right now.
It’s again a pretty mellow song and again feels like it’s missing a real climax, but it’s pleasant enough regardless?
This song, for one, has riffs! And the riffs have a strong groove to them, which I dig. Also really liking that chorus.
I guess that’s just what the song is though. Gentle, subtle, somber. That’s fine to be.
I don’t know what to say about it, it’s well orchestrated of course and sounds pleasant enough, but it just feels like it’s missing an emotional factor to me.
This feels like the kind of song that works better in the context of an album than as a song on its own, really, but for what it is I do enjoy it regardless.
Oh man. I haven’t had this strong a positive reaction to any other song in the roulette this far. I already have the feeling. I’d bet this is the highest scoring song of the roulette. Let’s see if it holds up.
The vocals are maybe a bit shrill for my tastes but on the whole this is pleasant enough.
Overall: One of you has a great three-song run on your EP (including, yes, that tidbit of particular note), I'll say that much right out of the gate. Like, easily three of the best songs in the roulette. And I'd say that on first listen one of the EPs definitely stood out more than the other, but I have at least 4 more listens to give each and that could easily change. We shall see. Corn. Soon. Results when splent.
