I was thinking that last one might be Three.  Hmm.

Little Trree?

deliver the R 

[Elite]

It's Tybee I think

[Elite]

Mr Bungle - California sent by LordCost almost certainly

This is an amazing album. I wonder how it will do in this roulette, but if it does well, I'll be kicking myself for not sending it. Top 10 of all time for me, without a doubt.

You sent Little Tybee.

[Crow]

I guess jingle sent Alithia 

[TAC]

Mr. Bungle?? Mr. Bungle?? Shit..


Saw them live back a couple of times back in the early 90's. Fucking strange.

[ariich]

I guess jingle sent Alithia 

How did you work that out?!

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Kings of Leon is Come Around Sundown

[Crow]

puppies sent my favorite enslaved album so i expect a 6/10
tac probably deserves to outscore me but we'll see
everything else i know and am not commenting on i find meh, but i'm not gonna list out which ones 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

puppies sent my favorite enslaved album so i expect a 6/10

The Parama curse rears it's ugly head again....

[Crow]

to be fair i only have 4 enslaved albums and they have like what 15

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

to be fair i only have 4 enslaved albums and they have like what 15

14, but who's counting?....You really need to get on getting the rest of their albums. I'm assuming you have their 4 most recent albums? If that's the case just work your way backwards until you find an album you don't like and just stop there. Knowing your tastes (or not considering my poor showing in your roulette), you will probably enjoy most of their stuff all the way back through Blodhemn, possibly even Eld. The first track on Eld is EPIC!

[Crow]

nah what i have is kinda arbtrary, i have below the lights, axioma, riitiir, and E, i need to check out in times sometime tho
axioma is probably my least fav of the four but it's solid nonetheless

[Train of Naught]

tac probably deserves to outscore me but we'll see

You misspelled train of naught

[Crow]

i know literally nothing about the album you sent so i cannot weigh in on that 

[LordCost]

Mr Bungle - California sent by LordCost almost certainly

This is an amazing album. I wonder how it will do in this roulette, but if it does well, I'll be kicking myself for not sending it. Top 10 of all time for me, without a doubt.

I don't know if it's top 10 for me too, but it's certainly close. I had few doubts on Rishloo's album and California, but from the next round I won't be so confident.

Kings of Leon is Come Around Sundown

Manic day so hadn't checked in, but well done on completing hangmang!

Have given everything a first listen, though during some I was a bit distracted by work. But yeah, really interesting round. A lot of the albums have a lot going on and are a bit much to take everything in on first listen. Which is exciting but also means it's harder to know what I think about a lot of them until further listens. Might need more than 3 listens for a lot of these. My feeling right now is that this is a very strong round.

I'll try and write up first impressions this evening but might be tomorrow! (EDIT: actually I've written most of them, so I'll put up around half now in a random order)

[Crow]

impress my firsts 

[ariich]

Round Two first impressions, part 1 of 2

#1 Nice album, lots of different ideas and things going on. Going to take more listens.

#2 Sounded quite exciting but has the potential to feel like it jumps around too much, like Lor did last round. Time will tell.

#3 Not what I was expecting at all, but this was very enjoyable in a lot of ways. Another one where there’s lots to take in.

#4 I’ve heard some of their songs before but never a whole album. It’s nice. Surprised at how much it sounds like a particular other band at times, particularly in the vocals.

#5 Nice album, not what I was expecting. Reminiscent of some other bands I quite like but still sounds fairly unique.

#6 Some very cool stuff here. Yet another where there's a lot to take in. Going to take more listens.

[jingle.boy]

*If* Alithia is in this batch...

I'll take "not what I was expecting" for $500, Alex.

Of course, if that's for the judgment against what I would normally send.  If it's for the judgment of how I described it, I'm more apt to be 'lots to take in'.

Daily double on #3 - not what I was expecting AND a lot to take in!

[Luoto]

I could see #5 being mine

Round Two first impressions, part 2 of 2

#7 Feels like a band I should have checked out before. Some really great stuff. Not sure about the vocals yet.

#8 Another band I'm surprised I haven't checked out before. Love the vocal style. Loads to like about this.

#9 I can see why you like this so much, but I wasn't entirely convinced by my first listen.
 
#10 Been craving more music in this style, which I don't have too much of. Not sure it’s quite up to my favourites in the genre but it still sounds pretty great so far.

#11 Guess what… lots to take in! Which I expected, but there's definitely a lot of good stuff on here.

[ariich]

Also interesting breakdown of when the 11 albums were released.

1980s: 1
1990s: 1
2000s: 0
2010s: 9

[Luoto]

#7 is another one that could fit, tends to be a typical first reaction to the vocals

[LordCost]

Mine it's one of the group "lot's to take in" for sure.
