ok it's train

this is why i asked you to tell me who's left because with so many people it's hard to keep track

Yes and that is why I didn't tell you.

[The Walrus]

It took me all of 2 minutes to copypasta the contestants list and hangman and figure out who was left but I don't know any of those bands so I couldn't guess

[ariich]

fill in the songs, coward

Completed hangman now updated above.

And here's a reminder of first impressions:

Round 1 first impressions

1. My ears! [Puppies]
2. My brain! [Indiscipline]
3. My heart! [Sacul]
4. I feel dirty.
5. This is rather lovely.
6. Bonkers and very entertaining.
7. Very pleasant background music.
8. Dark, dense, moody and pretty engaging.
9. Very epic, and varied but also consistent in mood.
10. Intense and a lot to take in, but pretty engrossing as well.
11. There’s a lot to take in on first listen, but what a great sound.
12. Some very engaging and innovative stuff, if a little all over the place.
13. This isn’t a genre I often find that exciting, but when it works, it works.
14. A solid example of the genre, if perhaps not particularly a standout one.
15. This is exactly what I expected it to sound like… and that’s no bad thing.
16. Some lovely moments, but also others than sounded a little run of the mill.
17. Dark, dynamic and quite beautiful – early contender for favourite of the round.
18. This has a lovely warmth to it, and I liked this more than I might have expected.
19. A little on the cheesy side perhaps, but extremely enjoyable right from the first listen. [TAC]
20. Wasn’t sure the vocals fit the music at first, but was thoroughly enjoying myself by the end.
21. A style you’ve sent me before, but this feels more immediately engaging than it sometimes is.
22. Not super immediate for me, but the newer tracks in particular sound like they could be up my alley. [Cyril]

results when

Results will be over the weekend, maaaaaaaaaybe tomorrow but unlikely.

[wolfking]

I must be pretty out of touch, from the list, I've only heard of 5 bands including my own.

[Crow]

#1 is probably Blut Aus Nord tbh

uuhh these are the only ones left for me now...
6, 7, 13, 18 all definitely seem like no-go's
can i narrow it down to 12, 14, 17, and 22?

[The Walrus]

This is looking less like a roulette and more like when you watch people pick out lottery tickets at the gas station

[Stadler]

I so desperately wish this to be mine:

13. This isn’t a genre I often find that exciting, but when it works, it works.

I am so despondently sure that this is actually mine:

14. A solid example of the genre, if perhaps not particularly a standout one.

Dunno what you're talking about, La Dispute is clearly very entertaining and you're obviously #6.

Nah you have correctly narrowed it down.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

I'm gonna say I'm [8], [13], or [14].

I mean, a roulette is also a game of chance so

[Crow]

This is looking less like a roulette and more like when you watch people pick out lottery tickets at the gas station

the amount of participants in this roulette is frankly absurd and then asking for 10-20 minutes of music per participant

i'm afraid of ariich's power, is all i'm saying. i ain't got that kind of free time, at the very least 

@ariich: 12 or 17? 
also, #6 is Thy Catafalque?

[Stadler]

That drives me fucking crazy.  Notwithstanding that you're paying for soccer fields and art supplies to begin with (our lottery goes to state education funds and what not, and any one person has almost zero shot of winning) there's no advantage to using your side-piece's titty measurements as your lottery number, so move it along!

It's not about free time as I don't have all that much, but I can listen to music a lot while I'm working. This round is slightly over 6 hours of music (which as I've pointed out previously is slightly less than I was getting in my last two album roulettes). If I don't have many work meetings then between work and free time I can pretty much listen to that in a day.

I like your technique of splitting the options in half each time to narrow it down - good use of maths. This time you are not correct, though.


Shadow, none of those three is yours.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

[16] or possibly [21], because I can't remember what stuff I've sent you in the past and am far too lazy to look.

[ariich]

[16] or possibly [21],

No.

because I can't remember what stuff I've sent you in the past and am far too lazy to look.

You've not been in any of my previous roulettes, so I appreciate that might make it harder to gauge what my first impressions might be to different things. Also my tastes and reactions are pretty weird as far as I can tell, so that generally makes it hard for anyone. Plus there are 22 options this time.

[Crow]

22, then?

if not then GEE I WONDER WHICH ONE'S LEFT

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Have I really not been in any of your roulettes? I was sure I had. Then again I forget I've sent a song ten minutes after doing so, so maybe my memory should be somewhat suspect.

Yeah it's 22.

Excellent, I look forward to you trying to send me The Plot In You in round 3.

[Buddyhunter1]

How the hell is 22 Thy Catafalque? All of the songs are from the same album so there's no "newer" tracks.

Well I'm guessing by "newer" you meant the second two songs. The first is easily my favorite of the three so idk if that impression bodes well for me

EDIT: Nevermind, Cyril was guessing two artists at once so I got confused

No, 22 is Cyril's, apologies I should have deleted his Thy Catafalque guess (which was also wrong) from the post I quoted!

[Buddyhunter1]

Is Thy Catafalque 20, then?

[Nekov]

I think I can narrow mine to 13, 14 or 15

This got a belly laugh out of me. 

[ariich]

Nope.

It is indeed one of those.

By way of update, listening is going well and I'm very impressed with this round. I think the average score is going to be on the higher end of averages from rounds in previous roulettes, which is impressive for so many submissions and such variety of music. Right now I'm feeling there are probably two clear standouts and no complete duds (which does mean people will be ranked low with decent scores - sorry!).

[romdrums]

I think mine is one of 10,11,12 or 15.  All I'm hoping for is "if I was doing eliminations, this would have gotten you through." 

[Elite]

8 or 12 for Blindead, maaaaybe 17 if you really enjoy it a lot.

[ariich]

Yes.

The great thing this time is that it doesn't matter either way!

Yes.

Okay!

What's this Leprous song doing here?

[jingle.boy]

I must be pretty out of touch, from the list, I've only heard of 5 bands including my own.

I'm at 7, but I've only ever listened to three - mine, yours and Riverside.  Well, I did listen to Monica whats-her-tits because curiosity after Katt getting heaved over the top rope because of her.  I've (regrettably) listened to Nick Cave twice now.  Sweet I know, but not these tunes.  VdG... never heard a lick of them, but familiar enough with the name.

[Sacul]

Sacul just got totally sacul'd

What does this even mean?

I have absolutely no idea but I got your attention so

trainy are u high

I see discovering music you don't know as a large part of the point of roulettes. I'd only heard of 10 out of the 22 before this round.
