Jingle.boy: Lords of Black - Ghost of You
10
Not a perfect 10, but a 10 nonetheless. Joining Innerwish and Ghost as my top 'Gotta check out more of these guys' from this roulette so far.
kingshmegland: Forgotten Suns - In Harms Way

Afraid this would be general forgettable prog-metal but was impressed with the musicianship and songwriting.
TAC: Glass Mind - Your Name In Silence
9
Great song, expected whiny vocals based on TAC's comments but I thought they were great and suited the song well. Heard some subtle DT influences.
Twosuitsluke: Alter Bridge - Blackbird
8
Hit the ground an average 5. Then the chorus hit, ok, maybe a 6. Guitar solo starts, damn, at least a 7. Then the outro made it an 8.
Parama: Baroness - The Line Between
7
Solid, fun rocker. I like how this song doesn't sound like it is from any particular era. It could fit in and been popular in the 90s, 00s, or today.
Sacul: Throne of Chaos - The Window
7
Good song. Was afraid it was going to get too proggy around 2:40, but it turned out to be a nice musical break that added complexity to the song.
Stadler: Night Ranger - Penny

"Penny I got your number, You know you gave it to me." I've had this happen to me…. Drunk chick gives you her number at the club and when you call her she doesn't have any clue who you are. Awkwardness ensues. Have you ever realized you never hear the word "Ensuing" without it being directly followed by the word "Kickoff?"
Elite: Stone Temple Pilots - Trippin' On a Hole in a Paper Heart

I know STP and that one hit song they had, or did they have more? No idea, but this one didn’t sound familiar at all. This is what I would think of as typical mid-90s alt rock. Which I never really got in to. Cool instrumental break, sounded jarringly out of place upon first listen, but when I listened to it again I thought it was really well done.
Shadow Ninja 2.0: Editors - Munich
5
Kinda cool, but nothing memorable.
Tomislav95: Paramore - Hard Times
2
Sounds like a lower-tier dance-y song from the 80s. Maybe intentionally? I wouldn't have liked it then, and don't like it now.
home: Igorrr - Vegetable Soup

Music was ok, then a rooster or a chicken came on. Who incidentally gave the best vocal performance on this song.
