Evermind's Third Roulette v. Final Round Results

[Luoto]

Nice, I'm very happy with that score. I actually haven't really been a fan of Swallow the Sun until their latest album, which that song is taken from. Their previous stuff is a bit hit and miss.

I'm also happy that Sólstafir song got such a high score, great track. Anabasis sounds pretty good as well.

[wolfking]

Wow, 5.5, okay then.

[jingle.boy]

Wow, 5.5, okay then.

Actually... given the way that Ruslan is using his 10-point scale, I can see where he's coming from.  I gave it a 9.1 though, so I do think he's daft.

[TAC]

Hey, The Anabasis... what's KNH up to these days? That was his project right? MP Forum folks remember...

I think TAC specified it wasn't Barry's band, but a different project not related to him.

Correctumundo!

[Elite]

Lol, well that was fun

You're 1.5 points away from the cut-off line, with my current method of scoring I'd say you still have a fair chance to make it through.

Oh, that’s not too bad actually. I was almost tempted to send ridiculous avant-garde just to get you to listen to that, but I might try to wow you with one fantastic song.

[TAC]

Round 2 sent!

Harsh vocals incoming!!

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

That Slushii song that Kat sent in my last roulette came on my shuffle earlier today and I was almost tempted to send that to Evermind, but I have no clue if he even likes EDM type stuff.

Good lord I love that track. Soooooo chill.

[The Walrus]

Wow, 5.5, okay then.

This kind of reaction makes me feel bad for wanting to use the full spectrum of scores because really 5.5 is still in the upper half and in my mind it's not that bad. Unless it's Judas Priest.

[lonestar]

Sent round two, one of my bigger guns I was saving for later. Kick this one back to me and you'll pay dearly in my resend.

BABYMETAL, amirite?

For the resend, yes.

Dear God Ruslan... If you love yourself, you’ll accept his first submission.

[Crow]

If you send babymetal I could outscore at least one person in round 2

Yeah I guess.  But when other songs are getting 9, 5.5 isn't  the most impressive score haha.  Onto round 2.

[Crow]

you're over here complaining about a 5.5 meanwhile i'm over here with my 2 just rockin' out and enjoying life

[Evermind]

Wow, 5.5, okay then.

I mean, your song wasn't bad but I honestly found it to be pretty average. And since 5 is average on that scale, well.

Hopefully you'll do better in Round 2!

[Crow]

hopefully i do better in round 2 
but probably not

Yeah mate, it's sweet.  That's tastes for you.  I will try and send in 24 hours.

[jingle.boy]

So long as the our host remains consistent in delivering a range of scores like this for bad-mediocre-good-great songs, I don't think a 5.5 score is as scary like it can be in roulette's where scores are typically bunched between 7-9, with the odd outlier.

Sending shortly.

[LordCost]

When I scrolled the list and saw the 7/10 approaching so fast I was prepared to the worst, but in the end I am satisfied with the score.
I watched the video of the song once, I don't remember most of it. I just chose the official video as a link to send you the song. I remember the one of the song Wheezyboy and it was creative and well done, while videos for past songs are amateurish and weird.

The style of music they go for is definitely prog rock/metal, but they do it an unique way with respect to contemporaries in my opinion, or maybe I just don't know similar bands.

Sent a well tested song in roulettes

[Tyrias]

Oh yes, I had a feeling that first impression was mine, and I'm glad to see I was right. I was actually at the place where the music video starts off last summer and I turned on that song when we drove away from there on the car speakers through fogs, high cliffs and wide plains, and the three other people I was travelling with were like "This is amazing, and it fits so well with the landscape". Love that song, and while the album as a whole is more metal and post-rocky, it still has a similar atmosphere.

Now I'll try not to blow it in the next round .

[The Walrus]

Sent something tried and true and ultimately super happy.

[Crow]

you sent Jolly?

[Evermind]

Alright, I have thirteen songs, and I need five more, preferably in the next 24 hours. I know Kade said he'll be sending soon. Other folks, I'm going to send you a friendly reminder in PM now, and yes, I know it hasn't been even 24 hours since the results were posted, so no pressure. Just keep it in mind and try to send in the next 24-26 hours. Regardless, the listening begins tomorrow during my morning commute. Results next Wednesday.

So far, only one song was rejected and one was very close to be rejected, but hey, I don't want to get BABYMETAL.

It's a guy walking around with a box in his hands and singing while all the time looking straight at the camera. When it comes to "fascinated AGAIN" he opens the box and some psychedelic imagery follows. Then on the next "fascinated again!" he closes the box and continues to sing and look. It's just weird. 

[The Walrus]

you sent Jolly?

I've never listened to Jolly in my life.
