Evermind's Third Roulette v. Final Round Results

[Evermind]

Alright, so between this and hangman, here are some confirmations and encouraging comments.

I hope mine is the one about how beautiful it is, otherwise... it was nice playing for 2 rounds.   

The beautiful one isn't yours, but even still, you are in a fairly good position on the current scoreboard, I think? I decided not to look at the scoreboard until the first elimination point.

This reminds me of some promo albums I’ve received while writing for LOMM, except better executed—which, to be honest, isn’t a high bar to set. Not sure what I think of this yet.

Each minute I was expecting clean vocals to appear, and they didn’t! This is… salvageable.

Each minute I was expecting growls to begin, and they did! This was somewhat engaging.

Well, that certainly was a handful.

Each minute I was expecting growls to begin, and they did! This didn’t work at all.

0.5/10 

One of them is indeed yours.

Interesting ballad-like storytelling, and definitely the coolest song title in this batch.

Well this could fit...

Nope, this one isn't about your song.

Mine could be:

This reminds me of some promo albums I’ve received while writing for LOMM, except better executed—which, to be honest, isn’t a high bar to set. Not sure what I think of this yet.

I’m not convinced by what transpires in the middle of the song, but the ending is ridiculously good, the most memorable thing in this round so far.

Interesting ballad-like storytelling, and definitely the coolest song title in this batch.

It’s as if someone is singing a lullaby while another guy decided to practice his black metal guitar technique in the background, taking breaks every now and then.

Wait, they had other songs this whole time?

This definitely has potential, although I feel the singer isn’t doing this song justice.

While this is pretty inoffensive, especially compared with some other songs here, I’m not sure it offers anything more than that, at least after one listen.

This is beautiful. One of two songs this round that sent shivers down my spine on the very first listen. I’m fairly sure you should start planning your strategy for the next five rounds.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, I’ve got your strategy here.

A lot of songs in this round have this cheerful, happy vibe I’m not exactly a fan of. Either this one will grow on me, or you’re going to be disappointed in the score.

If I had to put my money on something, it'd be "If it ain't broke, don't fix it, I've got your strategy here."

Nope, but yours is in your quote.

Pretty certain I can safely scratch:

'fucking'
all of the growl comments
handful
singer not doing it justice
other songs this whole time
all comments hinting at metal
ain't broke

Which leaves about 4 or 5 left that could be mine, and I'm hoping it ain't the 'gonna be disappointed' comment.

I'm gonna aim for Spandau Ballet, but there's a definite chance I'm gonna be disappointed.

That's a fair assessment.

This definitely has potential, although I feel the singer isn’t doing this song justice.

These four are the only one's thatcould conceivably apply to my song, and I'm hoping it's one of the bold ones. All in all, I've got a good feeling about making it to the main phase. Though I'm pretty sure I'd fail hard in the last 3 rounds, should I make it.

One of these four is yours indeed.

I'm thinking I am going to be disappointed.

The disappointed one isn't yours, but that still doesn't mean you're not going to be disappointed, I don't know the scores yet.

I'm off to sleep. I'll put up hangman and bonus hangman tomorrow.

[The Walrus]

No! Get back here and give me a passing score damn you!! 

[TAC]

Mine is one of these 5.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I expected something more forceful than this, but I guess they say “fucking” in the chorus, so it counts?

Man, this might rival Spandau Ballet in how deliberately sweet this is.

My friends on DTF have already told me this is djent, so you’ll have to try again.

I think I've safely eliminated all the ones that don't pertain to mine....

[Evermind]

Okay here we go, Round 2 hangman. I decided to stick with the usual format for now although there may be some bizarro hangman coming up in the later rounds.

Luoto waits 2,5 because he was bold enough to guess a participant without any letters

[Luoto]

A

Is the first one Parama?

[Evermind]

A

Is the first one Parama?

No, but I made his song's name shorter, not including all the movements. Otherwise it would've been the longest one and you would've been correct. I'll update the A above in a minute.

edit: updated!

[jingle.boy]

B

[Evermind]

Updated above!

Also, as of now, all songs are in. This round is a weird one, I'm not even sure if it's stronger or weaker than the first one. There are songs I absolutely don't want to return to, and there are songs I'm way too eager to return to. And then there are songs that are just... there. I'll be listening during the whole weekend, so we'll see if my impressions will change in any way.

[Bolsters]

Sneaking in a C before I have to wait 120.

[Indiscipline]

I see Lor, and it should be TAC.

[Luoto]

Seeing Moon Safari and Rishloo

[Evermind]

I'd like to have a Y, please.

Edit: ok, 48 seconds too late 

Nah, I'll give you a Y because I decided to check this thread one last time before heading out.

I see Lor, and it should be TAC.

Correct band, not TAC though.

[TAC]

What motherfucker sent Lor?

I considered using them in this roulette.

Awesome album. Awesome!


The song is Spectrum BTW.

[romdrums]

One of the rejected songs is VOLA-Smartfriend.

[Evermind]

One of the rejected songs is VOLA-Smartfriend.

Correct, and to clarify, VOLA isn't banned, but anything from Applause of a Distant Crowd is. I've been listening to this album in preparation for the upcoming Haken gig.

Also fixed a mistake in one of the rejected songs.

[TAC]

Rishloo is Landmines. Another great tune. Lordcost!

[Evermind]

What motherfucker sent Lor?

I considered using them in this roulette.

Awesome album. Awesome!

Rishloo is Landmines. Another great tune. Lordcost!

If you knew so many great tunes, why did you send the one you sent?

[TAC]

Oh boy!! Did it really suck that bad?

I think it rocks big time! Gee, and I thought you grew up and weren't a pussy anymore!

[Evermind]

Just fucking with you man, I've no solid opinion on most of the songs yet, and if I did, I wouldn't tell you anyway.

[TAC]

 

[The Walrus]

Hey - Toto's Better World is in this batch. I totally thought about sending that! Did king send it?

EDIT: Wait, no, Kwyjibo did. king isn't even in this roulette
