Soilwork is a bold choice, unless it's another case like BTBAM where it's an atypical song.

Say boys... when you go to a restaurant, you'll note that the wait staff prolly doesn't insult or criticize your choices in front of you cuz they know they're working for a tip.

Protip... *I'm* the one handing out the standings.  Keep it up, and the best you might get is a Parama-like participation award:

Power Quest in there too.

Thin Lizzy - Cold Sweat.  That's gotta be J.

Damn, I had Baby Please Don’t Go lined up. Couldn’t believe they weren’t banned. And Rainbow too. What passes for music up there in Cold Land?

So true.

Harem Scarem-banned
Rainbow-not banned


I knew Thin Lizzy wasn't banned. Chad's not a Thin Lizzy guy. I had considered sending them, and I likely would've settled on Cold Sweat too, or maybe something off of Renegade.

I’m a casual Lizzy fan. Their best Of is godly but there’s a load of shite in there too. Renegade is a great album tho.

Hey, if that was somehow directed at me, I'm just genuinely worried about my track because that's the riskiest track in my list for your roulette.
This first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff.

Not you... it was aimed at my fellow 40-something balding fogey, and TAC.  Every insult always applies to TAC.

Is that Defecto - Excluded?  Dunno them either.

Didn’t someone send Defecto in your recent roulette? Thought that was where I heard of them?

Of course!  I did think the name was familiar, duh me.  Dave sent me When Daylight Dies, which was a very cool track.

Soilwork is a bold choice, unless it's another case like BTBAM where it's an atypical song.

My fuel tank is running low.  The generic road of what I have left is losing Chad a bit, so just gonna hit the road without knowing where I'm going and let what hair I have left down!

The song I sent is one of their most accessible songs, from probably their most accessible album.  It was my introduction to them and one of my very first introduction to growls.  Giving Chad a look at the other side of my musical tastes here.

I'm really only passingly familiar with two of their albums, and I'm pretty sure the song you chose isn't from either (none of the titles seem to fit the blurred image). I don't mind them and can see their style appealing to Chad if you chose the right song.

My tank is running low too as it happens, not really sure what I'm doing after this round. :lol

Sharing for the post fail...  :biggrin:



Mentlegen... thank you for your patience (I've learned to say that instead of "sorry" ... trying to be 'less' Canadian :lol).

It's been a crazy 10 days - both jingle.kids moved in to Residence; I came off of "vacation" to an absolute shit-show / whirlwind at work this week; and to top it off, we bought a house (Tim, the one I showed you).  I'll make a post in the homeowner thread later for any who care.  Lastly, mrs.jingle has been swamped professionally and overwhelmed with all of the above (sans my work shit - she doesn't care  :D)

I've still been able to get about 5-6 listens of this round, but I'll be honest, it's probably the weakest round.  I'm not sure if it's my mindset with all the other things going on that I stated above, or if it's just the mid-roulette blues.  A few tracks stand out as really good, most are mediocre, and a handful are fairly meh.  Some common themes seem to be prevailing - wall of sound, heavy-af guitars, and great music/tolerable vocals.  There are a few very differentiated songs, but I'm just not sure how much they whet my sonic whistle.

There will only be 8 rounds, and this will be the final round of 'handicapping' a leader - I'll give leaders a respite for the final two rounds when things get into the home-stretch.  It will go 8 rounds, and final results will be posted prior to leaving for ProgStock on Oct 4th.

Full submission list:

Puppies: - Novembre - Zenith
Lowdz: Night Mistriss - Until the Day will Dawn
Elite: VOLA - Stray the Skies
TAC: Lost Domain - Silent Cry
Indiscipline: Matilda Original Cast - Revolting Children
Wolfking: Soilwork - Rejection Role
lonestar: The Who - I’m One
Evermind: Dark Empire - From Refuge to Ruin
Stadler: Rainbow - Fire Dance
Bolsters: Defecto - Excluded
Train: The Great Discord - Darkest Day
jjrocks: Thin Lizzy - Cold Sweat
Lethean: Angel Dust - Bleed
Kattleox: Power Quest - Better Days
Kingshmegland: - Mile Marker Zero / 2001

That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

If both my song, the best VOLA song AND one of the best Novembre songs are going to tank in this round I am going to :corn myself to death. Luckily my standards are pretty low so even a respectable 7 score would be satisfying enough :corn
people on this board are actual music fans who developed taste in music and not casual listeners who are following current fashion trends and listening to only current commercial hits.

B-shite. You're just buying time while searching for the fortitude to rate Matilda at the top as you would.



Don't fight your instincts. Dance it out.
