Time for my score to sink

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

OK my final guess is 21, and if I'm still not right I will give up and hang the shame curtains.

[Nekov]

Round 5 first impressions
2.   Great hooks and energy.

Narrowed guess

[lonestar]

I'm guessing #10 for mine.

[ariich]

OK my final guess is 21, and if I'm still not right I will give up and hang the shame curtains.

You are right this time!

2.   Great hooks and energy.

Narrowed guess

I'm guessing #10 for mine.

No to both.

[Crow]

give me the Q

[ariich]

Just two more Qs, both in the same song name.

[Elite]

I don’t know which impression is mine, but I hope it’s a good one and certainly not 12.

[Nekov]

huh. How about 12, 13 or 22?

[Indiscipline]

Alright, I must admit 7 is plausible 

[ariich]

I'll put you all out of your misery.

Round 5 first impressions

1.     [Tomi – Stoned Jesus]
2.   Great hooks and energy. [romdrums – The Intersphere]
3.   Delicate and quite beautiful. [Katt – Frédéric Chopin]
4.   A lot of mood and a lot of groove. [Sacul – Saltillo]
5.   Warm, emotive, really rather good. [Train – A.A. Williams]
6.   Poppy, quirky, a lot of fun all round. [Nekov – Bend Sinister]
7.   Nice style but the hooks are lacking. [Lethean – Almah]
8.   I… don’t really know what to make of this. [Buddy – Dir En Grey]
9.   I have absolutely no idea what is going on. [Puppies – Estradasphere]
10.   Madder than I expected, and all the better for it. [Indi – Gino Vannelli]
11.   You win the prize for most accurate description ever. [wolfking – Norther]
12.   Do I dare suggest that this sounds solid but unremarkable? [Luoto – Noumena]
13.   Each track starts only ok but gets more interesting as it goes. [LordCost – Cave In]
14.   Vocals aren’t the strongest but otherwise an unexpected joy. [Cyril – Daniel Olsén, Jonathan Eng & Linnea Olsson]
15.   Really cool music, possibly let down slightly by the production. [Elite – Messa]
16.   A solid enough example of a genre that I’m extremely familiar with. [lonestar – Deadly Circus Fire]
17.   Another solid example of the genre that I’m extremely familiar with. [Evermind – Voices from the Fuselage]
18.   A cracking example of the genre that, again, I’m really very familiar with. [Jingle – M.I.GOD.]
19.   An excellent example of a genre that doesn’t feature much in my collection. [TAC – Netherbird]
20.   Slightly cheesy in the vocal department but that doesn’t stop it being a lot of fun. [king – Freaky Jelly]
21.   This could have been risky, but instead it’s wonderfully unique and I love it already. [Shadow – Cloud Cult]
22.   Great combination of punchy and catchy – liking it a lot and more than I thought I might. [Stadler – The Panic Channel]

How to force a full on reveal by virtue of sheer incompetence 

I would have done the reveal at some point today anyway, but yeah the ratio of incorrect to correct guesses did expedite things.

[Evermind]

Okay cool, good luck to whoever's in the first place after this one!

[The Walrus]

Okay cool, good luck to whoever's in the first place after this one!

Dammit all, if I had known this, I would've actually tried to go for first place. FML 

[ariich]

I do enjoy the chaos of people trying to guess, and then interpret, my first impressions.

[Nekov]

I guess Bend Sinister sounds poppy maybe? The important part is that you think it is fun. That's what I was aiming for 

[jingle.boy]

How to force a full on reveal by virtue of sheer incompetence 

I'll take "Thoughts as TAC plans sexytime" for $400, Alex.

Also, quite pleased my batch is the "cracking" example of prog-metal.

[The Walrus]

I took that to mean, "Yeah this is good, but I already have plenty fucking prog metal as it is!" 

[jingle.boy]

I took that to mean, "Yeah this is good, but I already have plenty fucking prog metal as it is!" 

I took it as "I got a lot of this music, but it's still  "  Fortunately, this is Rich's roulette, not yours.   

Just because I've ate a shit ton of pizza in my life, doesn't mean I don't love me a "cracking" slice of it with new flavours!

[The Walrus]

That's because you only listen to prog metal! And fucking Winger. 

[Buddyhunter1]

3: Incon_enient Ideal

 

[ariich]

I took that to mean, "Yeah this is good, but I already have plenty fucking prog metal as it is!" 

That doesn't necessarily mean anything though. Of course sometimes it can mean I feel like "I've heard this all before", and it probably affects my excitement a bit around the margins. But unless it's particularly generic (in terms of what I have heard before), then if it's good it's good.

3: Incon_enient Ideal

 

No idea how that happened.

But that's what the song is called now.

[jingle.boy]

That's because you only listen to prog metal! And fucking Winger. 

First, untrue.  Second (even if it was true)... your point ?? ??
