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

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Note to self.....Train doesn't actually like sludge/post metal. 

[Bolsters]

Sent. Sticking with the metal for now, but if what I've got isn't doing it for you anymore I'll switch it up in a few rounds.

[TAC]

Will send tonight Dennis.
I spent all of last night on my roulette.

[Train of Naught]

All good, only 4 songs in so far, will start listening tomorrow afternoon with whichever songs I have at that point! I'm not going to chase people around to submit, will just listen whenever I get them, rules are clear as far as I know


This is pretty good, but you definitely picked the best song from it I don't enjoy the longer instrumental sections here nearly as much as the opening movement of The Transition. There's more 'plonk' on this album than I expected, some moments actually sound like they could be on a Plini album (or EP, he seems to like releasing EPs way more than albums). Maybe some more listens down the road will get me into this a bit more.

Note to self.....Train doesn't actually like sludge/post metal. 

Yeah it's only like.. my current favourite genre try your luck with some contemporary country-dubstep!

[TAC]

I think The Moloch is actually the best song, but I sent that to Cyril in his Roulette.

[Crow]

this is correct from what i remember of the album as a whole

[home]

Woohoo Im glad you like it! Magdalene is quickly becoming one of my favourite albums of this year 

Ready to disappoint on the future rounds, I'll send soon 

[Crow]

the first FKA twigs song i ever heard i hated and have refused to listen to her ever since, maybe her new album is better though but nobody sent it to me in my roulette so i haven't bothered to check it out

[Train of Naught]

I have this weird gut feeling that I’m not going to like the FKA twigs album as much as I should, but I’ll find out soon.

Got 6 songs in if I have not forgotten any, will start listening tomorrow afternoon and/or Sunday

[Crow]

enjoy my next 6/10

[The Walrus]

Crap I'm sorry Train, I got distracted last night and I just got home. Gonna peruse the options I've picked out and send before I go to bed (a few more hours).

[Crow]

also i was considering billie eilish for this one until i saw her on the banned list, just fyi
i'm mixed on that album but there's some reeeeally good stuff on it

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I'll be sending in the next hour or so. Sorry for the delay, been working almost 12 hours a day for the last week... 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Train, what are your overall thoughts on Technical Death Metal?

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Sent

[Crow]

if you haven't sent for all 8 rounds yet you're a wimp. a coward. a baby child toddler

[Train of Naught]

All good guys.

Billie Eilish: really got into the new album big time recently. The only song I don’t like is wish you were gay, current favourites are all the good girls go to hell and bury a friend! That album is so well produced though, I’d love to find more pop like that and somehow the FKA twigs scratched that itch slightly.

Technical death metal: I’m not a big fan when it’s too.. technical it can be really satisfying when everything is technical but it somehow fits together really well, this satisfying feeling when all instruments do crazy stuff but somehow always get back to the same themes. I don’t know, this is vague. I hate Archspire, Persefone’s last 2 albums are great. That’s all.

Hang on, I'll hit shuffle on my music library and just send the first 6 songs that come up for the rest of the rounds


Lets see what we get....

Soundgarden - Switch Opens
Borknagar - Mount Rapture
Weezer - Don't Let Go
The Cars - It's All I Can Do
Different Light - Eternal Return (New Promise)
Orbs - The Northwestern BearItories Part A: We the Animal

Perfect....

[Train of Naught]

No songs by Ween, 2/10

[ariich]

Orbs

[Evermind]

All the Good Girls Go to Hell is in the constant rotation at my local bar and it's pretty meh tbh

William Eyelash is pretty meh...

[Train of Naught]

Oh that reminds me Asleep Next to Science is banned, but I haven’t heard any other Orbs albums

My local bar played bad guy AT LEAST 4 times last night, now that’s an overplayed song everywhere I go (even though it’s pretty good)

[Crow]

the album is just so inconsistent. bad guy, wish you were gay, 8, my strange addiction all are just flat not good, when the party's over, listen before i go, i love you are all excellent, everything else ranges from decent to solid but it's all over the place and uuugghh

i wish i liked it more than i do 

[ariich]

Oh that reminds me Asleep Next to Science is banned, but I haven’t heard any other Orbs albums

Second album is much stronger IMO.

[Crow]

here's my roulette entries determined by shuffling my iPod (skipping banned artists):

Psion - Recoil
Soldant Hans - Story of the Flood
Ellende - Augenblick
Mord'A'Stigmata - Ansia
Hannes Grossmann - Hail Satan
Phoebe Bridgers - Killer
Khosnu - VA Shia (Into the Spectral Sphere)
Barren Earth - From the Depths of Spring

that Khonsu song is probably a better pick than anything I did send actually, lol
maybe the Psion and Hannes Grossmann too. the rest I'm not so sure on
i had to skip over 25 banned artists to get 8 non-banned ones btw 

[Train of Naught]

Never even heard of Khonsu and Psion tbh
I’ve listened to one Hannes Grossmann album and it was pretty good, but I never revisited it so maybe it wasn’t actually that good. The Malkuth Grimoire though

[The Walrus]

Late, but sent!! 

[Sacul]

Shuffling not my music library but my Favorites playlist on Spotify:

The Comet is Coming - Because the End is Really the Beginning
Susanne Sundfor - Darlings
Sigur Rós - Untitled #5
Baroness - A Horse Called Golgotha
Rammstein - Das alte Leid
Myles Kennedy - Love Can Only Heal
Jakob - Pneumonic
Slowdive - When the Sun Hits
Riverside - Beyond the Eyelids
clipping. - Story 2

[Sacul]

Also on Billie Eilish, wish you were gay is neat wtf with this hate. My favs are bad guy, all the good girls go to hell, xanny, and you should see me in a crown.

[Train of Naught]

What the fuck whereisthebabysitterthatheoverpaysbodytakesoverandbrainbecomesdisengaged

You should see me in a crown was my first favourite and still in my top 5 for sure #billiehours

Just missing the rich but I’ve already listened to everything once now. I think this round is about the same quality so far, maybe one or two more songs 7 or lower, but my #1 here will probably be slightly better than my #1 last round, the last place is looking to be around the same score as last round’s too though

Kinda curious about the song you sent but withdrew instantly now Katt I won’t listen to it in case you change your mind later, but up to you

[The Walrus]

The one I sent goes in harder on the overall vibe than the first track, which by comparison I suppose could be called... timid? I heard it in a Walgreens one day... yeah 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

the last place is looking to be around the same score as last round’s too though

Surely, you must be joking 

[TAC]

I think he was talking about the score, and not the person.

Probably me..but I like my song.

[Crow]

half of my submissions this time are "i have no clue how train is going to react to this"
of course, when i did think i knew how he was going to react i got a way lower score than i expected, so i'm assuming from now on i'm gonna have a lock on last place
