Katatonia are now real, but you can never listen to any other band for the rest of your life.

Morning Folks!

I PM'd Kingshmegland to reminding him that the Dr. Ruth Men's Health thread is on the GD side.


This evening, I will be dropping some hints on how some songs will do. There's only about 8 hours to reserve any Round 1 bands for future rounds.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

I would like to reserve all bands that were sent in Round 1, just in case.

So here are the First Listen Impressions that I have noted. I'm sorry if they are vague. But I basically put the headphones down and wrote down the first thing that came to mind. These impressions sometimes change a bit over multiple listens. I feel my first impressions have stayed relatively consistent throughout the listening for this round.



"Had no idea what to expect here, but you definitely captured the theme. One song is one of the strongest songs of the round as far as the theme goes. The rest will need some listens to further unpack."

"I totally didn't feel the theme, honestly, but there was some good stuff on here. Definitey one amazing song, but the rest need extra listens."

"This was an ass kicker too, but not as much as an ass kicker as the other ass kicker, even though they were fairly similar.."

"Really interesting collection of bands. Lots of familiar names, and I was honestly kind of shocked to get a couple of these. I was
pleasantly surprised for the most part."

"Another EP that cross pollinates with a couple others. Not without its dips, but mostly excellent."

"This EP was really chill. I liked a number of parts of it."

"This EP is totally ass kicking. Excellent job. I expected nothing less."

"This EP started off totally kicking ass, but I felt it kind of petered out a bit in the second half."

"As much as I wanted to make fun of this, this is really excellent. I really enjoyed it."

"Some of this I liked, and some of this I'm not sure about."

"Wow, that was heavy as shit!"

"This EP boasted a lot of familiar names, and damn you totally nailed the theme."

"A couple of great songs here, but the rest feel fairly ordinary."

"Such a sneaky, but when you think about it, obvious way to capture the theme. Solid EP."

I'd take a guess that this is for my EP.

Absolutely none of them could be mine.

I don't think TAC has listened to my EP.

So I have a question. In the beginning I said I would award a point for meeting the theme (which not everyone is maxing out this round BTW) and that I'd also award ONE BONUS POINT for whoever best conveyed the theme.

But then a lot of other people joined. I feel a handful have really done a great job theme wise, so I would like to award more Bonus Points. In other words, I would like to award a Bonus Point to more people. I'm undecided on 3 or 5. This is out of 14 participants.


Also, I'm not sure how I could do this next round as there  is not a "theme" to convey.

So where's the question?  :lol

3 would be good imo. That's a little under 25% of the participants, so 1 in 4 wouldn't be bad. But, it's your roulette  :biggrin:

I wouldn't be upset if you gave a bonus point for the best female vocal.   Or something like that.

Do whichever you want per round.   Maybe 5 this round if you can't narrow it down further.  And it'll balance no bonus points for round 2.  Then if only 3 stand out for round 3 or 4, just award 3.  I don't know. :)

Leaning towards 5 Theme Bonus Points, and for the Female Round, a Bonus Point for the EPs that contain the 5 best songs of the round.

Seem like some reasonable suggestions Tim.

I had wondered how you'd award a bonus point for round 2 when everyone would either send female vocals or not send female vocals. :lol

Stadler sent 3 Heart songs for round 2. Barracuda, Magic Man, Crazy On You. This is a very well-informed guess although I suspect he probably sent deeper cuts
