Good to see Tim isn't eliminated! Hopefully he will be eliminated in Parama's though.

I'm happy to be able to send one more song but... why Nekov is eliminated instead of me?

Elite · « **Reply #772 on:** July 25, 2018, 12:34:20 PM »

Same thing as in earlier rounds; the scores get added in order from lowest to highest, meaning Nekov hit the 20 points mark ‘before’ you.

how is the EP round gonna be scored/do scores from previous rounds matter? i have to decide if it's worth bothering to even send something good or just send a meme song and see if it does well

the structural disorder album is seriously good, yeah, drowning isn't even one of the better songs imo (but it's still good)

also hell yeah broke my streak

Yeah, I'm gonna have to listgen to that one.

Regarding the EP; from the first post: "In the event that there are more than 4 people left at the end of Round 8, everybody but the top 4 players gets eliminated. This is to ensure that this elimination game does not continue indefinitely and to set a maximum amount of rounds before the final EP round. Existing scores at that point will not alter your chances of winning the EP round whatsoever; you merely have to ‘make it’ to the EP round in order to play in the finals."

I haven't actually figured out how to score the EPs, but the different songs will obviously count, as will 'flow', which is quite a terrible thing to judge. When creating this roulette format, I envisioned the final round to be a game of its own, so that's why existing scores won't matter. Also, I thought (as stated in the R7 Results post) the scores would be far closer to each other, thus rendering the few points difference between the top 4 contenders obsolete anyway.

well, sorry for having too much good music apparently

Don't think I'll go with the meme one anyways even tho it's sufficiently weird & also pretty good but I'll decide tonight

And my EP is gonna be.... different

TAC · « **Reply #776 on:** July 25, 2018, 03:00:16 PM »

Sent. Hoping to make it through the 8 rounds. Maybe pull another 1 out of my ass.

Nekov · « **Reply #777 on:** July 25, 2018, 03:01:33 PM »

Welp, I kinda was expecting to be out so no real surprise here. Enjoy the rest of the roulette guys

sent another thing that's becoming a staple of my roulette entries

ep is in progress. as always i have managed to find a set of songs that goes well together and comes out to exactly 40 minutes with slight audio crossfade shenanigans. last place

Train of Naught · « **Reply #781 on:** July 26, 2018, 01:32:38 AM »

Nah Brand New doesn't have much material that compares to the second half of 137, this is the standout on the album to me. I also love a lot of other songs on the album (this is one of my favourite albums of the past few years) but most of them border more on the melodic side that you mentioned, rather than a super intense one. I probably wouldn't have sent Brand New if I knew you didn't like Devil and God

but I'm glad you liked some of it, the ending really is great.

I'll try to send tomorrow, but I completely fell in love with 2 albums by bands I had never heard of before (probably because they're both debut albums from this year), and I'm hoping to digest them and pick the best possible entry from them since the standings are super close and it's pretty important that I send the best possible thing.

Crow · « **Reply #782 on:** July 26, 2018, 01:38:28 AM »

the devil and god is better than science fiction in general tbh, but maybe it isn't your thing, dunno

limousine is

Train of Naught · « **Reply #783 on:** July 26, 2018, 01:44:47 AM »

I think Devil and God still had some of that emo-side from Deja Entendu/Daisy that Science Fiction does not. So because of that I can see people preferring Science Fiction, but personally Devil and God is still my favourite even though not by as big of a margin as most.

Limousine will forever be their best song though, there's no way they can top that.

ariich · « **Reply #784 on:** July 26, 2018, 02:02:01 AM »

Damn, didn't see that coming. Kyros is awesome and your opinion is terrible.

Elite · « **Reply #785 on:** July 26, 2018, 02:47:54 AM »

There’s no rush in sending at all, I just landed in Romania and will be back home on sunday, so take all the time you need (until Sunday) to pick something to send.

Sacul · « **Reply #786 on:** July 27, 2018, 01:13:23 AM »

Hell yeah, that's one of my favorites songs of the year

. Album's pretty chill for the most part, it's a nice recent discovery, hope you like it.

Train of Naught · « **Reply #787 on:** July 27, 2018, 01:19:22 AM »

It's one of the most '"fun"' songs I heard

I already got four submissionns; three more to go (though no hangmemes until Sunday anyway. And probably no listens either.

I saw White Walls in a pub yesterday, and I’ll see Haken later today, as wel as Zeal & Ardor, Leprous and Steven Wilson tomorrow. On top of that, Romania is a lovely country so far

Train of Naught · « **Reply #790 on:** July 27, 2018, 06:35:30 AM »

I have to wait until somewhere in November till I get to see Zeal & Ardor

Elite · « **Reply #791 on:** July 27, 2018, 06:57:03 AM »

I have no idea if it will be enjoyable live. I wasn’t overly impressed with Stranger Fruit to be honest.

Crow · « **Reply #792 on:** July 27, 2018, 09:39:34 AM »

stranger fruit has a few really killer songs and a lot of filler imo

ariich · « **Reply #793 on:** July 28, 2018, 02:48:08 PM »

Sent.

Elite · « **Reply #794 on:** July 28, 2018, 09:42:09 PM »

Travelling back now, still missing two entries. I’ll reply to some of the PMs you guys sent regarding songs for Round 8 and EPs when I get back home this afternoon. In the meantime, if the few (2?, 3?) people who haven’t sent for Round 8 yet could do so, that would be great!

Crow · « **Reply #795 on:** July 28, 2018, 10:02:38 PM »

i hope my EP gets rejected

Train of Naught · « **Reply #796 on:** July 29, 2018, 04:50:19 AM »

I'll also make an EP, fuck it, no matter whether I make it through you're getting one from me

Hey, Sacul & LordCost.. I know I was away over the weekend, but surely 4 days ought to be enough time to send a song?

I'll start listening tomorrow afternoon (roughly 20 hours from now), so it would be nice to have them in by then. If not.. your loss

I only discovered that meme recently. While it's not necessarily the funniest (to me anyway, possibly just because it was a bit of a you-had-to-be-there thing), it's incredibly creative.
