I'm hoping to make you sweat too Kade.
Tim.... agreed completely on everything you said about each of my tunes. 1st half of Genesis slays; 2nd half is kinda weak. Definitely do check out The Chronicles Project album - it's a VERY cool concept, and nice trio of vocalists. Noveria.... Symphony-X-lite. Really good though. They just had a new release a few weeks ago (3rd album). All three are excellent.
Bonus points... everyone knows and plays by the same rules. For those that didn't figure out that earning a bonus point was the equivalent of a 0.5 bump in the score of each song, well... I got nothing for ya. I tried not to sacrifice song quality, but absolutely knew that the bonus points could separate the men from the boys. Hence, I'm in 3rd, not 5th.
Faizoff... crazy focking cool theme dude.
Couple of really nice EPs up there. Gonna PM a couple of you to get the spotify links so I can have a listen after the end. @Tim, when you reveal the submissions this round, will you also post the Spotify link so my lazy ass doesn't have to recreate the playlist?
I'd share my writeups, but I don't bother with any such attempts to dress up my EP - I let the music do the talking.
Except this round. Got me a story to write tomorrow morning.
