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