I sent 2 songs that he said he liked, but I'm still on the bottom. This is starting to feel like Wolfking's Roulette 2.0.

Ok, sent something that is almost certainly unexpected of me, based on my previous roulette participation, but still an all time favorite, so you will probably hate it

. Also this song is older than I am.

sent my most obvious pick of the roulette

Lesson for next round: do not send a grower.

I don't think it's that... Perihelion Ship was a grower; it certainly didn't start off being in 1st place. I just... don't think I like whatever it is that you would call that. It reminds me a little bit of this Arcturus release called Disguised Masters which I thought that I should like because I like (to some extent) everything else, but I really couldn't stand it. But at least this was another look at Ulver for me and I have a better idea that they just probably aren't my thing.

No, no, no. Ulver is so diverse that you can’t judge them by two songs.

No, I'm sure not. But I have an album, I've heard this track, I've heard a track (or maybe 2) from Perdition City, I've heard some black metal tracks... and the creepy Sinister track. Which isn't to say that there's not one song that I'd like; War of the Roses was OK - didn't love it, didn't hate it. Aside from that album, I feel like a need something more melodic than I get from them.

You should really give Shadows of the Sun a listen.

The Walrus · « **Reply #358 on:** July 15, 2018, 01:33:25 PM »

Puppies you should totally send Type O Negative. You have no idea how much I love that October Rust album.

Lethean · « **Reply #359 on:** July 15, 2018, 01:44:55 PM »

So um, why aren't you sending it?

Actually is it too late to change my submission? I have something else in mind for this round actually.

Lethean · « **Reply #361 on:** July 15, 2018, 02:08:18 PM »

No it's not - go for it.

Elite · « **Reply #362 on:** July 15, 2018, 02:15:22 PM »

I'm bummed about my score, regardless. I think the track I sent is amazing, but it took me multiple listens over a longer period to really appreciate it. Same thing for the whole album though. Now I think it's Ulver's second best behind Perdition City.

TAC · « **Reply #364 on:** July 15, 2018, 02:59:47 PM »

I'm happy with the score for Pyramid Theorem. I thought it might do well, with Lethean listing Rush and DT among his fave bands.

Love To Love is amazing. I would've never thought to send it.

That's a great ambient album, and I'd go with The Assassination of Julius Caesar for some dope catchy synthpop

Why did you think it'd be appropriate for a roulette then?

Now I feel guilty, and still think maybe I missed something. But let me ask you this - what did you think of the song the first time you heard it? Was it positive or neutral and then you grew to love it? Or was it actually negative and then grew on you that much? Maybe I'll try to come back to it in a couple weeks.

King Puppies and the Acid Guppies · « **Reply #367 on:** July 15, 2018, 05:42:45 PM »

OK, I re-submitted. Hopefully this doesn't backfire on me.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #368 on:** July 15, 2018, 06:32:53 PM »

Me and Rich... from Firsts to Worsts.

Gonna send something from the 80s this round, and see how that fares. Just have to figure out what. Will send tomorrow before I'm out for a couple of days of travel.

I originally sent something from the 80's, but then I chickened out and re-sent something else...

I'm just wondering why Stadler has the time to post in the General Discussion section but hasn't sent me anything for round 3 yet....

Because I'm delirious at the high score. I don't know what to do now. I'm paralyzed with fear.

I'll have something later this morning, promise.

The Walrus · « **Reply #374 on:** July 16, 2018, 07:46:25 AM »

I'll send mine later today. I still have no idea what to send (well, I have one that I'm confident Lethean will really like, but I don't enjoy it much, as I want to send my favorite songs/artists).

Lethean · « **Reply #375 on:** July 16, 2018, 07:51:46 AM »

What were you doing yesterday then - planning all of the future rounds instead of this one?

Listening to songs all day trying to find ones I both love *and* think you'd enjoy. It's been tricky - there's one band we both know you're getting but you've already heard so it's deciding if I want to send something completely out of the norm for them or some balls-to-the-wall power metal

(edit: actually that's applicable to 2 bands! haha)

Evermind · « **Reply #377 on:** July 16, 2018, 09:20:46 AM »

I'll send when I finally land on an act that isn't on the banned list, and isn't actually banned!

Train of Naught · « **Reply #379 on:** July 16, 2018, 09:59:00 AM »

Found a Train of Naught™ hole in the banned list, sent!

The Walrus · « **Reply #380 on:** July 16, 2018, 11:42:39 AM »

Sent mine and immediately sent a different one to replace it.

EDIT: Nope, have to send again

I had no idea Lethean owned a few Stratovarius albums, for some reason I was under the impression Lethean either didn't know much about them or straight up disliked them based on a couple songs. Well shoot.

Stadler · « **Reply #381 on:** July 16, 2018, 11:58:54 AM »

F*** the list!! I'm sending what I send!! Damn the torpedoes!!

Haha.

Evermind · « **Reply #382 on:** July 16, 2018, 01:26:28 PM »

Sent the band I always try to send if they're not banned because they're pretty much the best thing ever. Let's see if I have to resend.

Nope, but you also got the band I sent him. Because they're pretty much the best thing ever not counting Beyond the Bridge.
