I might do that. It would finally give me a reason to listen to his solo debut.

Yeah, I'm definitely interested.

Shut up, Suicide is fucking amazing. Probably among my Devin Top 5.

Quote from: Parama on August 19, 2016, 01:04:56 PM

Suicide is so forgettable

I'm in between these, really. I think Devin Townsend has made around 50 songs I like better than Suicide, so in that sense, in the broad scooe of existing songs, Suicide is quite forgettable for me as well.

Crow · « **Reply #143 on:** August 19, 2016, 11:41:21 PM »

i'll guess I then

twosuitsluke · « **Reply #144 on:** August 20, 2016, 04:23:23 AM »

I mean I love Devin Townsend but Suicide would probably be in the low rankings of the songs just on Accelerated Evolution. Probably would have gone for Deadhead off that album.

If I had to choose one song though from his entire catalogue I think I'd still be trying to pick one

Crow · « **Reply #145 on:** August 20, 2016, 08:16:08 AM »

I'd just send funeral tbh

Elite · « **Reply #146 on:** August 20, 2016, 08:23:26 AM »

Bastard > Funeral, if we're strictly speaking Ocean Machine

Crow · « **Reply #147 on:** August 20, 2016, 09:21:14 AM »

Never got the love for bastard, it's good but the songs surrounding it are both way better and both easily top 5 devin

Scar · « **Reply #148 on:** August 20, 2016, 11:51:43 AM »

Ok guys, here it is. I was super lenient here and everyone's song was awesome!
Now, for the results!

Train of Naught's: "Celestial Violence" by Ihsahn.
Score: 9/10
The growling was awesome, as was the clean vocals. The chorus where the singer growls: "Celestial Violence!" was the highlight of this song. Made me cosmically happy and helped me to reach beyond the stars.

Scoripon's: "Suicide" by The Devin Townsend Band.
Score: 9/10
I've never heard of this band before, but I have to thank you for introducing this band. The growls were awesome and the the song itself was super dark. It was almost all I asked for.

Shadow Ninja's: "Landon Tewers" by Findlay
Score: 9.5/10
Ok, this song is so awesome. It's mood is awesome, the acoustic is awesome, the lyrics are awesome.....I can go on forever. This really struck a chord with me. Nice job!

Sacul's: "Routine" by Steven Wilson.
Score: 10/10
Perfect. This is the song I love. Another boost was that Steven Wilson worked with Opeth and I am currently in love with them right now. The length of the song is awesome and this song was perfect, filled with a lot of emotions. I was crying by the end of this song. Thank you. The girl's voice was also awesome. Really fits the whole atmosphere.

Lonestar's: "Frequency" by IQ.
Score: 8.5/10
In my opinion this is one of the best Neo-Progressive song ever written! Awesome introduction and transitioning to the riff was just awesome! Although there were some parts that irked me, it was still a very strong song nonetheless. Deserves all the praise it can get!

Elite's: "Pareidolia" by Haken.
Score: 10/10
Never has almost 11 minutes passed so fast! May I dare say that this song is the embodiment of prog metal? This reminds me of Dream Theater in many ways. Also, why does the song "Outcry" come to me, when I'm listening to this song? Real nice song and I'm wondering why I haven't heard about this band!

Tomi's: "The Thirst" by Enchant.
Score: 9/10
The acoustic introduction was what got me. I love anything that has an acoustic section in it. The drumming and the lyrics of the song was what stood out to me the most. Really enjoyable and would listen to it again anytime! Thanks Tomi.

Luke's: "Only for the Night" by RX Bandits.
Score: 9.5/10
Nice song! It was really catchy and that bass, man, the bass! At first I was skeptical that I might not enjoy ska, but after listening to this song, I didn't have to say anymore! Thanks so much Luke! Really enjoyed this song, even if there weren't people to share its awesomeness too.

Destiny of Chaos': "Epica" by Consign to Oblivion
Score: 10/10
The orchestra introduction hooked me immediately, and it stayed hooked until the end. This song is indeed "Epica." I've never heard of the band, but I'm glad you introduced this band to me. This song paved the way for many other songs. Ok, I just relistened to this song. It's really amazing! Love the whole orchestra thing. Reminds me a lot of Ayreon and Ayreon is awesome! Love the grunts and growls also!

Parama's: "Naif"/"Linear Failure"/"My Favorite Society Guy" by East of the Wall.
Score: 10/10
Bass in this album is kicking ass. Guitars are on fire, drums are to the point, vocals are amazing, and this album is a great find. I can now see why you call this the "Parama staple." And now I understand your Personal Text: "The Apologist." Had a blast listening to the 3 songs. Amazing, really.

Standing:
1) Elite - 10
2) Sacul - 10
3) Destiny of Chaos - 10
4) Parama - 10
5) Shadow Ninja - 9.5
6) Luke - 9.5
7) Train of Naught - 9
8) Scorpion - 9
9) Tomi - 9
10) Lonestar - 8.5

Crow · « **Reply #149 on:** August 20, 2016, 11:58:52 AM »

the first word of your writeup is bass and that's all i needed to hear
also wow those are some high scores

Round 2: Depressing Songs To Listen To While Cutting Yourself

Now, let's go on to round 2. This is a themed round. I love really sad songs. "Disappear" from Dream Theater is possibly my most favorite depressing song. Also, have you listened to Opeth's "In My Time of Need?"

Listen to both those songs. I want songs that are ballad and the criteria for the songs would be "Disappear" and "In My Time of Need." Any songs that come close to it or mirror it, will receive a perfect ten.

Lyrics that would fit well: Losing someone you love, this world has no more meaning, I've committed suicide and I am leaving this world all behind.

NO HARSH VOCALS WHATSOEVER

Received: Parama, Shadow Ninja, Tomi, Star, Sacul, Naught, DoC, Luke, Scorp

Songs still needed: Elite

I'm glad you liked it

check whole A Blueprint of the World album.

That's some dark shit, bro. I love sad songs and I have many things to send and I think I know what to send but I'll browse my list and see if anything better pops up.

Scar · « **Reply #155 on:** August 20, 2016, 12:26:36 PM »

Thanks guys.

twosuitsluke · « **Reply #156 on:** August 20, 2016, 12:34:43 PM »

Wow, high scores all round. I'm glad you liked RX Bandits, there was some serious competition in this round and I almost regretted sending it as I thought you might like everything else way more.

I know I said RX Bandits are like progressive ska punk but this song in itself is not actually really ska. As an overview of their sound across all their albums then ska is part of their sound.

If this continues this way it's clearly going to be a tight run thing.

Will send soon

Elite · « **Reply #157 on:** August 20, 2016, 01:03:54 PM »

Wow, those are some very high scores indeed. Glad I'm at the top, for now ;p

Scar · « **Reply #158 on:** August 20, 2016, 01:22:47 PM »

I can't wait to hear the next batch of songs.

lonestar · « **Reply #160 on:** August 20, 2016, 05:03:02 PM »

Bummer about the theme, I already sent IQ

Sure I got something hidden...

Train of Naught · « **Reply #161 on:** August 20, 2016, 06:04:23 PM »

You're really missing out by restricting us to no harsh vocals

but I'll roll with it. Will send soon

Scar · « **Reply #162 on:** August 20, 2016, 06:05:31 PM »

Don't worry.

Next round will be ONLY harsh vocals.

Crow · « **Reply #163 on:** August 20, 2016, 06:10:57 PM »

man that's gonna be pretty tough actually because there aren't a ton of songs i really dig that don't have cleans in there somewhere

Train of Naught · « **Reply #164 on:** August 20, 2016, 06:12:23 PM »

You need more Gojira in your life tbh

Crow · « **Reply #165 on:** August 20, 2016, 06:17:55 PM »

I do not understand the appeal of Gojira tbh

Train of Naught · « **Reply #166 on:** August 20, 2016, 06:20:59 PM »

One of the best songs ever made tbh

Destiny Of Chaos · « **Reply #167 on:** August 20, 2016, 06:50:11 PM »

Ended up eating my words and sending a DTF band

I'm fully expecting someone else to have beaten me to the punch with this band as they are just perfect for this round!!

Fully prepared to re-send

I sent band that's pretty known here. But I just had to because I don't remember anyone else ever sending them (I did once) and I didn't wat OP to miss them.
I wanted to say maybe we've sent same band but then I realised which band you've sent

Train of Naught · « **Reply #173 on:** August 21, 2016, 03:46:23 AM »

I sent a fairly popular DTF band aswell, have sent this exact same song before. It's a pretty good song I guess

I highly doubt it, no one has sent any popular DTF band so far whatsoever.

Quote from: Scar on August 17, 2016, 02:53:55 PM

Listened to 3 songs. One was trash, one was meh and the last, I fell in love with hard core. Thank you so much for that.

Gotta wonder with all those insanely high scores which one was the trash song

lonestar · « **Reply #174 on:** August 21, 2016, 07:51:49 AM »

Hey Scar, can we have you put the sent bands into the OP as banned? Makes it easier when the later rounds come to find what's been sent previously. Thanks bro.

News: The staff at DTF wish to remind you all that a firm grasp of the rules of Yahtzee can save your life and the lives of your loved ones. Be safe out there.
