#1: This is a particularly nice example of a style I've only rarely found something that connect with me in, probably due to it playing up the intensity of its sound more than its contemporaries tend to do, and I definitely appreciate that.

#2: This sounds note-for-note exactly like a band I got into only last year, and probably isn't doing the style quite as good as that band, but it's still a style I enjoy and it's done pretty well regardless.

#3: Ooh, another band in this vein, eh? I think what these guys lack that other bands have is a sense of strong hooks, but stylistically I'm pretty on board.

#4: I got basically exactly what I expected out of this album but at the same time that means my interest was kind of waning by the end, still solid though.

#5: I kind of dig what they're going for here but I think I'd dig it more if it connected emotionally more often. Feel like this one's going to be a grower on relistens for that exact reason, though. Particularly reminds me of another band I'm fond of at times.

#6: This is pretty interesting for what it is but it's marred by a really weird and bad ending, I don't know what happened there.

#7: This is a combination of a particular style of a genre I'm not big on and another genre I barely listen to or care for. So I'm not really sure why you sent it. A few tracks kinda worked for me though but this felt really monotonous most of the way through.

#8: And this one is just a particular style I've never cared for, in a subgenre I've been progressively losing any interest in. I think it had its moments but the pacing of the album in particular feels like it's going to be the biggest sticking point for me.


Don't think anything here is as bad as the two worst albums last round, feels like a stronger round on the whole really. I feel like there's a lot more room for the bottom ranks to shift around compared to last time where my two least favorite albums at the start remained my two least favorite albums throughout.

Almost all of them could be mine :lol something could be said for #1 if you're speaking of post-metal and I'm just going to follow that up with some :corn :corn :corn

The others that seem most likely are #4, #2 and #5

Yeah, I can't really figure out which one would be mine either. Could be a lot of those. Seeing some of the write-ups, I'm slightly worried abut the second to last track on the album I sent, which is a little weird. I don't think the album gets boring or stale though, as it's quite short.

Fairly sure mine isn't #1 or #5-8 (outside chance of it being #5 I guess). So most likely #2-4. #3 would be my guess.

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

Well, maybe it's a courtesy as a host to entertain people who took their time to introduce some new music to you, but hey, what do I know. It's, like, a two-way street or whatever it's called, I think.

Perhaps not doing this "I was going to post the first results but now that you've poked me maybe I won't" thing is a good start.

Gosh, I sound like a grumpy man after an especially bad day. I'll just wander somewhere else now.

Edit: I'm genuinely sorry, I'm rereading what I wrote and I sound like an entitled brat of a participant. :facepalm: I guess I just did indeed had a bad day, which isn't really an excuse. I apologize and don't mind my earlier comments.

okay y'all let's post some results to keep the kids from screaming
----------
First one up is easy, this one has been leading the pack both listens through and it's not really hard to see why. Blackgaze stuff usually falls into the unfortunate trend of being pleasant enough to listen to but really lacking in the intensity proper black metal brings to the table but no, not here, this has a lot of those calmer, ethereal moments but still has enough ripping, intense moments to balance them out and keep the whole thing feeling dynamic and powerful. Even the ambient tracks here add a lot, the first one especially is just waves and waves of lush ambience that lead into the track following quite smoothly, and it doesn't overstay its welcome or get boring. My only real gripe is that I feel like the 15 minute closer might plod along just a little too long for its own good, but my opinion on that may change on further listens, 'cause yeah, this is one I'm likely gonna have to check out, it's good stuff.

Naturally an album like this could only come from the one, the only, Evermind with Ultar – Kadath. Yep.
----------
#5: I kind of dig what they're going for here but I think I'd dig it more if it connected emotionally more often. Feel like this one's going to be a grower on relistens for that exact reason, though. Particularly reminds me of another band I'm fond of at times.
Surprise, guess what happened. Yeah, on second listen I was feeling this one a lot more than on first listen, maybe it was being more in the right mindset for it or something? I dunno. While it's a relatively low-key album overall, probably the chillest album of the entire round, it still finds enough diversity in its fusion of post-rock and math rock tropes, even with the occasional jazzier piece, and backs it all up with some real sense of build and swell in its tracks that allow the emotional climaxes to build. The Unforgiving Tide in particular was the standout from the listens I've given this, but I don't think there's a single track here I dislike and really I only see this one growing on me with further listens. I don't know if this one or the Ultar album is round winner qutie yet (will get back to you on that in a few days probably) but it's definitely among these two, both are quite good.

So yeah, pretty clear this one's home with OWEL – OWEL.
----------
Tenative rankings, I guess

1. Ultar - Kadath
2. OWEL - OWEL

Like I already said, I know 6 of the 7 people who are safe already after just two listens through all of these, I'm gonna do relistens through everything anyways to at least get a better grasp on ordering things but there is a pretty clear divide between the top 6 and bottom 2 here. :corn
