ariich’s inclusive roulette (v6) – EPic final results!

[TAC]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stadler – Michael Schenker Group
1. Girl from Uptown
2. Victim of Illusion
3. Lost Horizons

First impression: I’m liking this but it could have been even better with more interesting vocals.

Final opinion: So I’m definitely digging this more than the UFO, although again it suffers from the last song being awesome but the other two being less exciting. The first two are still good, don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy the main riff in Victim of Illusion for example, they’re just a little run-of-the-mill. Lost Horizons is fantastic though, a really strong classic Maiden vibe that they pull off very convincingly. I think all the songs could have been more exciting if the singers had more character, but they’re talented at least and the songs are very enjoyable. 

Score: 8.0

That 8.0 is generous and I love Michael Schenker.

Stadler, you always pick the worst songs by any band.

[wolfking]

Damn.  I expected a bit more.

Edit: Wrong roulette.  I already posted that.

EDIT2: Well, yeah still stands, expected a bit more lol.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Oh, I forgot to comment in here. I think that's a pretty fair judgment. They're one of my very favorite bands personally, but I get that their stuff isn't going to hit everyone that way.

[Luoto]

Fun fact: Suotana is word play with 'suo' (swamp) and 'saatana' (satan). It could be seen as a spin-off of Swamplord which is the mascot of Kalmah.

EP has been sent.

[wolfking]

Will send something in 24hrs.

[LordCost]

The Permutations album has other 7 songs as interesting as those 3, covering different styles. By the way I received from a friend a song from the Italian band Area that Indi send the first round and in comparison The Mercury Tree is commercial music

Sent via email.

This one has been fun.    to Rich

Yeah, I must say. Our host has been great with the hangman/impressions/pace etc. Very well run this one

HAHAHA, that got a laugh out loud.  You're probably right about that.  I love those obscure songs that no one likes listens to knows.  Total Eclipse, baby!!!!

[Evermind]

Half of my writeup is done, I'll do the other half tomorrow and I will also take time to make it extra-British so I guess I'll send in about 18 hours.

[Evermind]

By the way Rich here's what I've got to make the story extra-British, just got to get the right vibe

One Track Mind...

[wolfking]

Just logged on and will start thinking about what to send now.  Should have something in soon.

[wolfking]

Boom sent!

Quickest EP I'll ever come up with.

[Evermind]

Sent!

[Evermind]

Man I'm excited as hell for this

[ariich]

Man I'm excited as hell for this

Me too!

As I think I've mentioned previously, the sheer volume of music for this round, combined with wanting to pay even more attention to every listen, means this final round will take a fair bit longer, maybe a couple of weeks in total. But I think I'll be spreading results out so I don't think it'll be too long a period of just waiting around.

[jingle.boy]

You could also spread out hangmen?

[ariich]

Yeah that's a good idea, I might do it a few players at a time actually (maybe 3 batches [EDIT: actually, 2 batches should be fine]), which would make it more manageable plus spread it out.

It'll also give me a bit longer to do thorough first listens to be able to give first impressions.

[ariich]

Ok I think I've figured out how I'm going to hangman - going to stick with the same sort of format as previous rounds.

Just waitin' on 3 more submissions and then we'll be able to start!

[TAC]

Let's go slackers!!!!

[King Postwhore]

Rich, you are a casualty of a Tim joke. Sorry!

What might be cool is if you started with the 'title' of a players EP, and see how long it takes for us to guess who's EP that is.

Ooh, I like this. I mean, some will be pretty obvious, but most won't.

No huge hangman with all songs sent and we need to guess who sent what?

[TAC]

[The Walrus]

Holy shit 

[Evermind]

Wow, I thought I would be the last to send.

[ariich]

I.. don't get the reference in that image.

You want to do that with ~140 songs?

[Evermind]

I really like the idea of doing the titles first by the way, no one did this before I think.

[ariich]

Yeah I think I'm going to start with EP titles, and maybe even just post them rather than doing hangman.

[King Postwhore]

I.. don't get the reference in that image.

It;s a move "The Christmas Story."  Those 2 boys are the local bullies in the neighborhood and the little runt talks a big talk because his with the tough guy.  Just like Tim right behind your posts.

I'm just shocked that Tim got the reference.
