Round 9 First Impressions
A surprising amount of this seems to be decently compelling instrumental moments and I’m all for that.
A bit of a mixing problem here but the general sound of this one does appeal to me, even if I’m not currently in the right mood to enjoy it.
Round winner. Calling it now. I got distracted while listening to this one and I still loved it by the end. What a climax.
The kind of metal I always find really samey and impenetrable, and this doesn’t sound like the exception to the rule for me.
Some nice atmospheric stuff and it’s overall pretty satisfying even if it doesn’t strike me as particularly special.
Like, okay, it’s not awful, it’s not even bad, it’s fine for what it is, but it also feels kind of… procedurally generated. I don’t know how else to describe it.
Definitely the most immediately positive I’ve felt towards one of your songs for a few rounds now.
Another one where I don’t feel like I’m quite in the right mood for it and there’s something about it that I’m not that keen on but still seems overall pretty solid.
Feels like a pretty solid round overall, certainly more interesting than the last two right out the gate. I can already tell you the likely round winner and definite round worst, but everything in between ranges from "meh" to "pretty dang good" on first listen, we'll see how I feel on Thursday though. Also gimme a minute I'll update hangman before I run off to work.
