Ariich's ALBUM Roulette; or, Is The Man Completely Mad? (completed)

[Evermind]

Oh God if you cock block him on the Hirsch Effect, you'll be everyone's hero.

Unfortunately (or maybe not) I don't know anything from Hirsch Effect, but I sent probably the only album that could be qualified as "fun" in his entire collection.

[Crow]

If someone sends the hirsch effekt it just means I can send another great album without having to worry about sending them too

Anyways I sent last night and it wasn't whatever evermind just sent so I have no clue what he's talking about but I'm probably gonna win this round or just get cut

[ariich]

This is sort of the stuff of legend:   Out in two rounds of a roulette and the two submissions are Rainbow Rising and Ozzy Diary of a Madman.   Ritchie Blackmore and Randy Rhoads.   I feel like the undefeated Patriots losing to Eli and the Giants in the Super Bowl.   At least I can say I left it all on the field.   I'll be rooting for the bands Anal Catastrophe or Obscure Flambe to win it all!   



(All in fun; I get it that it's all taste, and Ozzy can be polarizing.)

Yeah his voice isn't for everyone. The Rainbow submission did really well (joint 2nd that round), so if scores were completely cumulative you'd have survived. But they're not, because I've created an overly elaborate scoring system.

Anyway, 4 out of 5 submissions in so far for this round, just waiting on t'other Rich.

[Nekov]

That other Rich...

[jingle.boy]

That other Rich...

He should submit Overhaul

[Nekov]

While you're waiting on the other Rich, you should spin the latest VHB album, I'm liking it a lot

Yeah I'd been holding off for roulette reasons, but I'll probably check it out tomorrow. It's been synced up on my Spotify since last Friday!

I'll chase Elite.

[Crow]

A Week With No Elite

[Nekov]

C'mon ELITE!!!!!

[ariich]

A look at his facebook page suggests he's away in Tanzania! Explains why he's not logged in for a few days.

Hmm, what to do...

[Nekov]

Wow, good for him.


Just cut him 

[Crow]

he sent a merzbow album

just pick one w/e

[ariich]

I'll just crack on and listen to the four I've got, and give him a chance to submit whenever he's back, assuming it's in time for me to post results!

[Elite]

This is correct. I went 5 days without connection; it was great. Still in Africa, though I can log in more often. I should have said something before leaving, but I had no idea whether or when I’d be able to send. Will send soon (as in now).

You also have about two days to change your Ayreon predictions.

[lonestar]

-2 points for improper roulette form.

[ariich]

's all good, we're still on track to finish the round by mid-week again, as with previous rounds!

So here are the five submissions this round, again in alphabetical order:

Bodies of Water - A Certain Feeling
Electrocution 250 - Electric cartoon music from hell
Julia Holter - Have You In My Wilderness
Maestrick - Unpuzzle!
Schizoid Lloyd - The Last Note in God’s Magnum Opus

[Evermind]

Electric cartoon music from hell?

[Tomislav95]

Bodies of Water - A Certain Feeling

[antigoon]

hey anal catastrophe is fucking GOOD, ok

[jingle.boy]

Maestrick - Unpuzzle!

 

[Evermind]

Maestrick - Unpuzzle!

 

Fairly certain this is RJ's.

While I mostly went full-on progressive metal in RJ's roulette (and look where it got me), I'm trying to send a bit more unusual stuff here, even for me.

[Crow]

elite obviously sent schizoid lloyd, and he is 3 for 3 on sending albums i'm not a huge fan of

I must say, it wasn’t on my initial list to send. That said, I don’t like that Bodies of Water album

[Crow]

that's fine, since i didn't send it

[Nekov]

I don't know any of these bands 

When are we getting results? Wednesday?

[ariich]

[ariich]

Today has been manically busy and I'd like to get a bit more listening in, so it'll be tomorrow after all.

[lonestar]

Take your time bro, fully capture the myriad nuances my brilliant album has to offer.

[Crow]

take your time and cut lonestar

[ariich]

One thing I will say is it's interesting to hear what different people think of as fun.
