Puppies Crazy Album Roulette (Jingle & Kat Bonus Round...spoiler...Jingle wins)

[TAC]

The song I took out of mine The Flight of Sleipnir - Falcon White

Checked it out. Very interesting.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

have some first impressions

- Consistent and groovy
- Stands out in a genre full of mediocrity
- Unique vocals, varied and dynamic music
- This might be the most vanilla thing you've sent so far
- Reminds me of another band, but the vocals aren't as good
- Symphony X called to say they wish we could still write music this good
- Dream Theater called to say they wish they could still write music this good.
- Bring 3 cups of Funky Jazz to a boil, add 1 cup of Salsa, a half cup of rock, 3 tablespoons of Reggae, a dash of Mariachi, a pinch of soul, a quarter teaspoon of hip hop, and the kitchen sink for good measure, stir until blended well and simmer for about an hour.

OK Parama-Match 'em!

I know the last one is cat empire but no clue on the rest 

[The Walrus]

Let's see:

- This might be the most vanilla thing you've sent so far
- Reminds me of another band, but the vocals aren't as good

Yep, I have a 1 in 3 chance of having a small chance to get to the last round.  I've heard complaints about Max Leclercq's voice but I personally love it and think it gives even more unique flavor to the music on top of the choral and orchestral work. I could also see how this sounds super vanilla even though I don't think so. I also definitely see how it stands out in a genre full of mediocrity (power and symphonic metal).

Can't wait for the writeup. 

[TAC]

I have no clue which is mine.

[Crow]

mine could be any of the first 5 but i'm already 90% sure i'm not getting to the next round now

An attempt

Mine could also be "Reminds me of another band, but the vocals aren't as good" but I don't think Nothgard is "Unique Vocals"
"Unique Vocals" could be Imogen Heap though. I really dunno. I'm kinda winging it on most of these tbh
Honestly none of these feel like they have "Unique Vocals" to me except The Cat Empire, which is the most obvious impression of them all already

Puppies, are the greatest hits scored out of 10 or out of 20? 

[The Walrus]

OP says 20 

[Crow]

maybe i still have a chance to catch up then but two of the three people i could reasonably beat i have matched up to first impressions that suggest pretty good scores so i'm pretty screwed anyways

[The Walrus]

Screw you guys 

[Crow]

tbh katt i only put that one against yours because you put it as one of the possible ones for yourself 

if puppies thinks the vocals in baroness sound like mastodon but not as good then heck right off i love baroness but never really liked mastodon's vocals
if puppies thinks the vocals in baroness sound like amendfoil but not as good then you may have an argument there. i dunno

[The Walrus]

Just having fun, I get it 

[Lethean]

Parama could be right about mine and Puppies thinks DGM sounds like DT (and sometimes they do), but I think the more accurate one is:  Symphony X called to say they wish we could still write music this good.

[Lethean]

What do you think jingle?  Does Serenity sound much like Symphony X to you?  I don't remember thinking so, but it's been a while since I've listened to them.  And I don't remember thinking they sounded much like DT either.  I guess ours covers those two impressions unless there's another band that was sent that sounds like DT...   I *was* trying to avoid obvious SX parts in the DGM songs I sent, but I didn't eliminate it entirely by any means.

[jingle.boy]

I’d say DGM is more DT-ish than Serenity, for sure.  Serenity sounds nothing like DT, so I say 0% chance of that comment being mine. Tbh, serenity is more Nightwish than either - full on symphony elements, so the S-X comment is probably the most applicable. If so, I’ll take it.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Parama got 2 out of 8 right
Tac got 3 out of 8 right




 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Oh and Kat is 0 for 3 on his guesses 

[The Walrus]

Oooh. Then it's either Unique vocals, varied and dynamic music or the SX one, but I don't think so 'cause they're generally not as heavy and much more keyboard heavy than SX. 

[Crow]

Parama got 2 out of 8 right

maybe things will be more interesting/in my favor than i thought 

[Elite]

Maybe Jolly is ‘vanilla’

[ariich]

I know the last one is cat empire but no clue on the rest 

Yeah no shit.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I know the last one is cat empire but no clue on the rest 

Yeah no shit.

Well, I had to throw y'all at least one bone

[Crow]

i'm just ready for results to come in so i can die 
puppies if i get cut and you listen to my concept album you gotta score it like all the rest just sayin' i spent way too much time on it to not at least get a review

[ariich]

It will be quite unfortunate if Parama gets cut and his concept album, which blocked Evermind's previous entry and led to his ragequit, doesn't actually count.

[Elite]

It will also be quite unfortunate if Puppies doesn't like Jolly.

[Crow]

It will also be quite unfortunate if Puppies doesn't like Jolly.

yeah that wouldn't be very

That would actually be kinda hilarious.

[Crow]

Are you implying something 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Nah, just sad that I inadvertently caused EV to quit 

[ariich]

Don't blame yourself.

It was all Parama's fault.
