Lonestar's Death Island Roulette- And the winner is.....

[Crow]

i got beat out by a half point by someone who really deserved to finally have a roulette win anyways so i'm pretty happy with how i did there
chris' roulette on the other hand 

[TAC]

As much as I wanted to, I just couldn't grade the alphabet song as high as the While Heaven Wept and Celesty.

[TAC]

RJ, is this your second roulette? I thought you had another one? NO?

[jingle.boy]

RJ, is this your second roulette? I thought you had another one? NO?

Yeah, there was a 2nd one already. This is #3. #1 was a loooong time ago. One of the first roulette's I ever played in.

[lonestar]

Btw, those who are through, feel free to send songs... I already got a submission from Tim.

[twosuitsluke]

Lonestar, based on you liking Anciients and Soen, I'd suggest you check out the album False Lights by Pressure Points. Or someone should just send something off that album 

[Tomislav95]

I'm glad you liked Soen
I remember I wanted to send over 7 minutes long song in round 1 but now I don't remember what it was

[jingle.boy]

Funny thing with Parama, the two bands he sent that I denied(Thank you Scientist and Oceans of Slumber) probably could've won him the round. Based on that alone I'll surely check out all you sent me.

Not so subtle way of telling him the axe is gonna be swinging in his direction?

My first roulette win if I'm not mistaken, good times 

[jingle.boy]

Yeah well... Tim's known to be a little premature.

[TAC]

At least I got my submission...um..up.

I heard it was divine.

[lonestar]

Alright, let's get this unpleasantness out of the way folks...


Evermind- So your track was...not sure how to put this...generic to me. It seemed so cookie cutter prog power metal. It sounded like every other band that leaves me totally uninspired to travel to Atlanta to see the Prog Power festival. And those keyboards were just too much man. While there was nothing particularly wrong with the track, there also was nothing that made it jump out to me. Tracks like this are why jingle has never won my roulettes

Parama- I don't want anyone to think the harsh vocals are an issue, I love many bands with them. However the opening, wanna be artsy spoken word shit just made me want to skip this song every time on my playlist, and for the last couple days I did. While it did build up into something resembling a tolerable song, I learned that I don't have that much patience.

Parama...seems your self fulfilling prophecy is about to come to fruition...you are cut my friend. I will for sure listen to your other submissions, and may even include them in my write ups to let you know where you stood. As I said, the two bands I didn't allow were because I love them, so I know you got some good stuff out there, this track just wasn't it. Hang around man, and feel free to heckle these other assholes as much as you wish 

[Evermind]

Wow, second time in a row? That's something.

Alright, so far a great ballad almost didn't cut it, the safe prog metal track didn't cut it, I guess it's time to throw the caution out of the window. I wish the time limit was 8 minutes though, I've got like three songs I want to send but they're all 7:30 - 8:00.

I've got a feeling that if I don't impress you this round I'll get cut since that random elimination is still floating around, so let's see what I've got here.

[Crow]

Perfect, time to laugh at everyone from afar 
Note to self: don't send train songs after train has already been cut, it won't end well

[lonestar]

Alright, so far a great ballad almost didn't cut it, the safe prog metal track didn't cut it,

I think you hit the mark by using the word "safe"....I think it was the "safe" aspect of the song that bored the fuck out of me.

You're 3rd round song was quite good...just saying..



Oh, and take your time sending folks, between now and tomorrow night my music will be 24/7 Images and Words

[TAC]

  Tracks like this are why jingle has never won my roulettes

Or any roulettes.. 

[lonestar]

tee hee....

Great band, phenomenal album... Ruslan was just handcuffed with the dumbass sub 7-minute time limit.  This is the least best song on the album.  Plus, your current tastes are more towards the death end of the prog-metal continuum - just look at the thread title!

I've learned though... you ain't getting any power metal from this cochise.

[Train of Naught]

Note to self: don't send train songs after train has already been cut, it won't end well

But.. tomislav won the round with the song and band I introduced him to in his roulette You can send my songs, just not my favourite songs because they are all garbage

Sectarian is one hell of a song but in my book The Lantern>>>Sectarian which explains why I'm already eliminated

[Crow]

Slice the Cake wasn't in my original roster of songs and was basically a backup I had to send after lonestar rejected two of mine 
Wanted to get it out of the way as soon as possible while competition wasn't as tight but even still it got me cut, oh well

I didn't win the round...

And Slice the Cake isn't that good.
Jk it's good, I'd like to like it more tho.

[Crow]

It's not as good as train makes it out to be imo but it's still quite good, one of the better releases from last year

[lonestar]

I just couldn't with that song. Each time it got on in my playlist and I got about thirty seconds in I was already itching to hit the skip button.


That Soen album is fucking amazing though.


Make of that what you wish guys.

And I'm finicky as fuck when it comes to power metal. I fucking dig Gloryhammer for chrissakes, figure that one out.

[King Postwhore]

RJ, I'm traveling for work today.  I'll get you a song tonight when I'm in the hotel.

[Tomislav95]

Went with my given advance and sent longer song. I really hope you'll appreciate it more than some people I sent it to

Oooooohhhhhh... I just noticed Rhapsody isn't on the band list!

[lonestar]

Yeah, probably cause I couldn't make it through a few songs off any of their albums...

[Crow]

As far as power metal goes, I like two Kamelot albums, and

Kamalot does nothing for me. I realize I'm in the minority.

[TAC]

ROUND 7- Two consecutive songs from the same artist, songflow will count heavily. 20 minutes max

This is a strange f'n theme. Just sayin'. What's the inspiration for this theme?

[lonestar]

I just love it when artists put that level of thought into albums, especially non-concept albums. For an easy reference, think Wait for Sleep into Learning to Live...

[Crow]

good, 'cause the album i sent has a lot of that going on, almost every song is attached to at least one other in that way
