Alright, let's go ahead and toss some impressions out there. I figure I'll do these in two batches just to space things out a little.

My goal in writing these has been to try to be more specific. A common complaint I see about roulette impressions is that they're too vague to where they could be talking about half the songs in the round. I obviously don't want to give everything away, but I've been trying to write these so that on at least some of them you can probably be 75% sure it's yours if you think about it enough. Of course, the impressions aren't set in stone in terms of what the final score is going to be—my view of the song might change as I listen to it more.


Really liking how many layers there are to the melodies on this one. I’m only worried that the song might overstay its welcome by just a little bit.

I don’t know. This is a good song for this style, and I enjoy some of the guitar work, but as many times as I give songs like this a try, they don’t really ever seem to click hard with me. I think this just isn’t the type of thing I look for in music.

My first thought on this one is that the guitar sound is pretty poor relative what I feel like the music needs to have. But once I sort of got past that, I think this one has some promise to be a grower.

So, right now, I’m in this position: I really like the vocals on this song, but much of the instrumentation is just not doing anything for me. I think with a different arrangement I would be more inclined to fall for this one.

I really love the build-up on this one. I love a long intro like this that slowly increases in intensity. And the later part of this song just feels huge, with big riffs and an awesome anthemic chorus. I’d call this an early round favorite.

The adjective that comes to mind for this one is “smooth.” From the subtle guitar work to the vocal melodies to the singer’s emotional delivery, the whole thing just feels so smooth. I’m into it.

One of those songs that feels like it covers a lot more ground than it has any business doing considering its runtime. I’m really enamored of that sort of thing when done well, and this one shows a lot of promise.

Naturally, it would be easy to assume that Glory of the Empire is the long intro, slow build, and anthemic chorus (though there really is no chorus in GotE).  Regardless, I'll just hold on to that hope for as long as I can. 

What we do echoes in eternity   :metal :metal

If need be, I'll let Evermind have that impression.

Here are the other six impressions:

This is an artist that I’ve heard of, and kind of been led to think would not really be my thing. Which is why I’m a bit surprised by the fact that I really like this right off the bat.

This song feels like it might be a major grower, and I’m hoping that there’s enough time for it to grow in the space of this roulette round. What I know right now is that I’m really impressed with the keyboards, especially how they are used both for atmosphere and for lead parts.

There's definitely a lot going on in this particular song, to the point where it might feel a little chaotic if it wasn't for the fact that so much of it is so good. It also helps that everything is anchored by a strong chorus.

I don’t know what I think about this one yet, to be honest. I definitely see a lot of merit in it right off the bat, but I’m not sure how much I enjoy the vocal style, which is of a very particular type that I’m not used to listening to.

This song is solid all the way through its (significant) runtime, and has a certain charm, but it doesn’t really have any standout moments (at least as best as I can tell so far). Right now I view this as something that’s interesting and quirky, but not particularly excellent.

I’d definitely characterize this song as something that feels comfortable to me. The vocals are nice, but I worry about the song being a bit too repetitive.

Maybe..hopefully..
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related

TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol
