Big Big Train of Daftness Roulette! POST-ROULETTE CEREAL HOURS

[Train of Naught]

hey

It's time for number 4 baby, 2 years after my last one. This one is going to be about as standard as a roulette can be, if you're looking for crazy games, guessing songs, whacky themes, secret participants or all of those combined, there's the door (for reference, I am pointing at my bedroom door)! I would love to do the karaoke guessing game again, but it just doesn't make sense since most of the time people won't even know the songs to begin with.

Rules

• Total of 8 rounds, no round themes.
• Maximum of 10 participants, no preliminary rounds, simply the first 10 to apply. I will consider the ones that applied in the roulette tracker as confirmed until they state otherwise.
• For formats, please avoid sending files. My personal laptop is also my work laptop and it's getting super messy, I prefer having all my music accessible on the same application. Spotify is by far my most preferred (and out of experience, nearly all roulette songs submitted to me are available on Spotify), but I will take YouTube, Bandcamp or other suitable streaming services as well.
• I'm aiming for a fast pace, so try to have the songs picked out before results are posted (or at least some songs to pick from). From the 22nd of December until the 2nd of January I will fly back home and will have virtually no time, so we will have to pause the roulette at that time.
• I will do the classic 1-10 scoring system, don't take it personal when I trash your tune!!
• I'll allow you guys to ask me about bands from my banned list. The colour coding system from Cyril is awesome, but I'm too lazy to go through all of that. There's no limit to the amount of bands you can ask about, but I will only do it in the thread, not in PM, so everyone has the chance to read about my thoughts of these bands.
• No song length limit, but please be reasonable.
• Artists scoring 7 or higher will be banned for future rounds. I am also allowing the same artist to be sent multiple times in one round.

Participants

• Kattelox
• Cyril
• TAC
• ariich
• Evermind
• Sacul
• Bolsters
• Puppies_On_Acid
• home
• Elite

Tastes
I seriously don't have time to go through everything..
On the metal side of things, I've been very into sludge/post-metal and progressive metal. I like something that strikes an emotional chord somehow, intense stuff, memorable chord progressions, catchy melodies, so pretty much the same as everyone.
I'd say country, reggaeton, reggae, pop-punk are the first 4 genres I can think of that will immediately launch you to the bottom of the ranks, if that's what you're interested in! As for everything in-between, ask away.

Banned list
Here we go.. as stated in the rules, feel free to ask about any of the bands on here (only in the thread, not in PM). Going through all of them and colour coding etc is too much work, but I put stars next to what I think - gun to the head - would be my favourites RIGHT NOW, not the all-time favourites per se.

Woooohoooo I am ready to send you songs you will find completely average 

[Bolsters]

Well, I certainly can't make the excuse that this is too complicated. I'm in!

[Train of Naught]

Cool, you're both in! So (presumably) 1 more spot

By the way, a rule I forgot to add that everyone pretty much uses but should still be stated (adding it to the OP too): Artists that score 7 or higher will be banned. I also allow more than one submission of the same artist like I always do.

[TAC]

• TAC (I'm not sure if you actually applied, please confirm!)

I didn't...but I will!

[Evermind]

Gonna make you sympathize with a cockroach and a cockroach my man

Won't send yet though cause I've got to run if I want to get to the first row at that Beyond the Black gig, but I will tiredly send after that when I come home

Also if anyone wants to plug in like ~8 hours from now on, I'm in

[TAC]

Sent an 11 minute song. Hopefully not too long. It goes by fast though.

[Train of Naught]

I’ll be the judge of that!

Realizing bands I forgot to ban here and there, so far everyone who sent is fine, but it may happen at some point you send something and I just forgot to add it.
3 bands I just added that weren’t on the banned list before: Pink Floyd, Rush and Rival Sons. Rush is only banned to prevent people from making terrible life decisions such as sending them

[Evermind]

Oh no, planned to send Money but now I have no choice but to withdraw

[Elite]

Can I join?

[Stadler]

I'm in if you'll have me, and there's still room.

[Train of Naught]

Hmm, really want to stick to 10 guys, let’s see if everyone who applied yesterday is in, if it turns out one spot opens up I’ll let you know Stadler. Sorry, quite busy at work lately and 10 is already quite a lot I think.. hope you understand

[The Walrus]

It's okay, I'm ready to bomb not only in my name but in Stad's as well.  I hope I can surprise you.

[Crow]

alright, gotta go through my library and find all the non-banned stuff i can send to you, i'm sure i've got a lot tho 

edit: round 1 is SENT

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Question before I send. What is your favorite clipping. album/song?

[Train of Naught]

Nothing Is Safe, Story 2, The Show, Blood of the Fang, Body & Blood are probably my favorite songs. The latest album is my favorite “There Existed an Addiction to Blood”, it’s probably one of my top 5 albums of the year at the moment

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

What are your thoughts on instrumental Post-Metal/Sludge?

[Train of Naught]

Hmm, hard to say, sometimes I like it but I want a hard hitting motif or something memorable

Which reminds me sorry, Pelican also banned

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Which reminds me sorry, Pelican also banned

Ah ahahhaha, should have seen that coming. 

[faizoff]

Oh shit looks like I'm late.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

So, the song I want to send is 14 minutes, but I don't want to send an unreasonably long song.....

[Crow]

i'm playing by the Ugly and Vengeful rule - regardless of the "be reasonable rule" i'm allowed one 15+ minute song no matter what and train can't say anything to stop me

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

i'm playing by the Ugly and Vengeful rule - regardless of the "be reasonable rule" i'm allowed one 15+ minute song no matter what and train can't say anything to stop me

I just went ahead and sent the 14 minute song. It's easily going to be the longest song I send all roulette. 

[Train of Naught]

Hehehe but Ugly and Vengeful is like one of the best songs of the decade so it’s ok! The best reasonable’ indeed means more like, sure you can send something longer, but please not all the time

@faizoff sorry man! Would love to have some other new people, but more than 10 will really be too much for me at the moment

[ariich]

Need to put together a list of options so will send in the next day or two.

[The Walrus]

Sent something weird.

[faizoff]

@faizoff sorry man! Would love to have some other new people, but more than 10 will really be too much for me at the moment

No worries

[The Walrus]

@faizoff sorry man! Would love to have some other new people, but more than 10 will really be too much for me at the moment

No worries

Same time post as mine.  It's a sign of luck!!

[TAC]

Sent something weird.

That's redundant.

[faizoff]

@faizoff sorry man! Would love to have some other new people, but more than 10 will really be too much for me at the moment

No worries

Same time post as mine.  It's a sign of luck!!

Lol didn't notice.

[Crow]

is it confirmed that TAC or Bolsters are gonna play, if not there might still be room for falzoff

[TAC]

is it confirmed that TAC or Bolsters are gonna play, if not there might still be room for falzoff

Um..

• TAC (I'm not sure if you actually applied, please confirm!)

I didn't...but I will!

..and..

Sent an 11 minute song. Hopefully not too long. It goes by fast though.

[Crow]

well train didn't update the OP yet 

[Train of Naught]

Choo choo bitches (thanks for giving me a long overdue catch phrase Kattelox, I adjusted it slightly), half the submissions are in.

I did update the OP now in fact TAC and Bolsters were the first two people to submit. I’m gonna do my first round of listening tonight and then whatever songs I will receive Monday/Tuesday will follow then, as today will be a mostly chill day for me with plenty of time anyway

Are you guys excited to get garbage scores? So far I have 1 band I’ve heard of quite a lot but barely listened to, one I’ve heard of but never listened to, and 3 bands I’ve never ever heard of which leads me to believe they’re all crappy by default cause I don’t know them
