Starting my 3rd listen to the songs.

Last night while listening to the Day list, one song really started to annoy me. I gave it a favorable comment after the first listen, but by the time the second listen was over, I had enough.
I wish it was an instrumental, honestly.

Top band is Eden's Curse

Luoto · « **Reply #217 on:** March 03, 2019, 03:21:58 AM »

Amorphis

I wouldn't have chosen them for this theme

Evermind · « **Reply #218 on:** March 03, 2019, 03:33:48 AM »

I'm surprised no one sent Ayreon. Anything from The Human Equation qualified for the theme, technically.

If I get the opportunity to make some guesses, I want me some TAC points.

Are they redeemable at Costco?

Here are the First Impressions again..

"I've sampled them before on youtube a number of times, and honestly, it's always been putrid. But I liked this. Most of it anyways."

"I have literally never heard a single song by this band. It wasn't bad."

"I'm not totally unfamiliar with this band. I've never loved them, but I did like this song"

"As expected...yawn."

"I was thinking about this band while putting together my Banned List. A kind of premonition. I appreciate getting this song very much."

"This is pretty decent. Safe. But decent"

"It had its moments but I was expecting a bit more, to be honest."

"This was ok. Not great"

"It was pleasant enough. I need another listen"

"Kind of an odd song amongst the others, the last minute was really good."

"I got 3 songs from the same band in this round. This was by far the worst and is the type of song that has kept me from really diving in to them in the first place"

"I was intrigued to hear this. Wasn't what I expected"

Guess away! Just posted the full Day list and first impressions.

You can redeem then at TAC Mart.

Every time i Read TAC points I can't help hearing Tom Heinsohn screaming: ba-da-boom, here's one Tommy Point for ya!

Tommy points. Lol

TAC · « **Reply #226 on:** March 03, 2019, 07:04:04 PM »

So I've made some major headway today. I pretty much have the Day songs ranked. I've got the Night songs pretty much roughed out, but there's a bit more bunching up because it's a much stronger round.

How strong? The 7th best Night song would rank at #2 on the Day list.

I apologize up front to the person that is in last place for the Day songs. Finishing last is disappointing, but I think this may be extra disappointing. You probably thought you sent something strong, and you did. And I liked a lot of it on the first listen, but subsequent listens have proved that I look forward to listening to it the least in the entire round.

Lethean · « **Reply #227 on:** March 03, 2019, 07:33:56 PM »

Indiscipline, when are you gonna guess the Day impressions?

TAC · « **Reply #228 on:** March 03, 2019, 07:35:13 PM »

I am contemplating posting the Day First Impressions in the Results order.

als osorry i skipped out on the whole game thingy going on here, tbh too busy dealing with other crap and i don't know if tac points actually matter for anything so

If you sent who I'm pretty sure you sent, then you're not in last.

Or first.

I'm curious to know who you think sent what. Will you be posting that before Stadler reveals?

So, I'm no different than anyone else here. I see the songs, and have no idea who actually sent.
But I have an idea on a few of these. A couple of you, I have no idea.

I have run through each playlist 4 times. I am pretty sure the rankings are locked in. I am going to start writeups tomorrow. There is still a possibility of slight movement over the next couple of days. Once I send the scores to Ivanka for quality control (basically so he can vouch for the anonymity) , I'll post my guesses. Then I'll post results.

Crow · « **Reply #234 on:** March 03, 2019, 07:57:58 PM »

I think they must be the equivalent to Schrute Bucks or Stanley Nickels.

They can even be used internationally!

I have submitted the scores for the Day Round to Marla and I am waiting for who sent who.

Here are the First Impressions listed in result order. Best to worst..

"I was thinking about this band while putting together my Banned List. A kind of premonition. I appreciate getting this song very much."
"It was pleasent enough. I need another listen"
"I was intrigued to hear this. Wasn't what I expected"
"I'm not totally unfamiliar with this band. I've never loved them, but I did like this song"
"This is pretty decent. Safe. But decent"
"It had its moments but I was expecting a bit more, to be honest."
"Kind of an odd song amongst the others, the last minute was great!"
"As expected...yawn."
"This was ok. Not great"
"I have literally never heard a single song by this band. It wasn't bad."
"I got 3 songs from the same band in this round. This was by far the worst and is the type of song that has kept me from really diving in to them in the first place"
"I've sampled them before on youtube a number of times, and honestly, it's always been putrid. But I liked this. Most of it anyways."

As you can see, things moved after the first listen.

Since Indiscipline won't help, here's my stab at the impressions:

"I've sampled them before on youtube a number of times, and honestly, it's always been putrid. But I liked this. Most of it anyways." - Devin Townsend

"I have literally never heard a single song by this band. It wasn't bad." - Magnum

"I'm not totally unfamiliar with this band. I've never loved them, but I did like this song" Amorphis

"As expected...yawn." - Evergrey

"I was thinking about this band while putting together my Banned List. A kind of premonition. I appreciate getting this song very much." - Asia

"This is pretty decent. Safe. But decent" - Eden's Curse

"It had its moments but I was expecting a bit more, to be honest." - Jethro Tull

"This was ok. Not great" - Lacuna Coil

"It was pleasant enough. I need another listen" - Katatonia

"Kind of an odd song amongst the others, the last minute was really good." Stratovarius - Halcyon Days

"I got 3 songs from the same band in this round. This was by far the worst and is the type of song that has kept me from really diving in to them in the first place" - Stratovarius (guess I have a 50/50 chance here) - When Night Meets the Day

"I was intrigued to hear this. Wasn't what I expected" - Closure in Moscow
