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

[Lethean]

i mean, neither does mine! it has a theme, but not a story

Ok cool. 

Mine has a theme too.   

[Elite]

I know everything on Elite's already too so I dunno if I need to actually listen to the EP

I could not find Misthyrming on your RYM, but good to know that then, I'll scrap them from my list of possibilities (that is, if I make it through round 1)

[Evermind]

2: Underoath – _a_er __ng

Lazer Dong

[ariich]

I really like the variety of approaches taken. Broadly in four styles:

 - no theme but all from a similar genre/style/mood.
 - a conceptual theme that connects the songs.
 - a thematic narrative, but not a story.
 - a story.

[Buddyhunter1]

2: Underoath – _a_er __ng

Lazer Dong

Hey, they're a Christian band.

[Evermind]

It's probably something like Paper King but I just couldn't pass it up

[Crow]

familiar as in "i listened to that album a few times" but not explicitly banned

Close enough that I'll give it to you.

[Indiscipline]

Viper King 

EDIT: ariich won't let me dream even for a second 

[Crow]

we need T

[Evermind]

It's probably something like Paper King but I just couldn't pass it up

Close enough that I'll give it to you.

Anatomically though, Lazer Dong was closer than Paper King

Reptilian Soul?

[ariich]

Yep

[LordCost]

I sent it in Train's roulette, he is the only one who can guess Underoath song at this point.
Now that I am listening Deftones a lot, I clearly see that that song is very much close to their style

[Evermind]

  5: Boards of Canada – In T_e Anne_e
6: Arms and Sleepers – I Sing t_e _od_ E_e_tri_

Man, without Googling I can only think of In The Anneke for the first one but I'm pretty damn sure this is absolutely not it okay, apparently "annexe" is a word according to the dictionary, it's In The Annexe then

The second one, let's say, I Sing the Body Electric

[ariich]

In The Anneke sounds a lot hotter.

And yeah both are correct.

[Crow]

I bottenlös ävja
The Achromatic Road
Tachi
Ricky
Fons
White Bat

can't figure out Luoto's last artist

[ariich]

Literally just one song left.

Want to try a letter?

[Crow]

Give me every letter left.

[ariich]

Obviously I can just reveal it, I'd do that tomorrow anyway (along with first impressions) like I did with the first batch.

[Evermind]

It's Häive - Lapin Kouta

[Crow]

thank you everlong

[Indiscipline]

And now our watch begins

[Crow]

What the hell did you do on your EP and why is it completely not what I expected?

I could have sent half Cyril's EP

I'll say Echo and the Bunnymen is also Cyril's because wtf is his EP

Get out!  What a curveball from Cyril!

also this made my day, exactly what i was hoping for from this hangman 

first impressions tomorrow i guess? or tonight? 

[ariich]

first impressions tomorrow i guess? or tonight? 

Hmm, well, I literally just finished compiling them into a list and was going to post them tomorrow as I'm going to bed shortly.

But if you like, I can post them tonight, but with no updates or reveals until tomorrow.

[Crow]

hell yeah! suspense me up babey! post 'em and let us fight to the death over them!

[ariich]

Alright then, never let it be said that I'm not a man of the people.

Coming right up...

[ariich]

EP first impressions
Two impressions per submission. Have fun!

1.   Powerful, proggy and very emotive. [Evermind]
2.   This seems like a bit of a mixed bag. [Lethean]
3.   Your good run seems to be continuing. [Sacul]
4.   I’m enjoying the fun, energetic metal here. [wolfking]
5.   A very nice selection of pretty emotive prog. [king]
6.   There’s some gorgeous, emotional stuff here. [Tomi]
7.   The coherence and storytelling is rather great. [Puppies]
8.   The emotional narrative here is quite captivating. [Shadow]
9.   There’s an enjoyable, intense groove to most of this. [Train]
10.   It reminds me of a couple of other artists I rather enjoy. [Jingle]
11.   I think this might be the best thing you’ve ever sent me. [Luoto]
12.   There’s a really consistent vibe throughout this whole EP. [Nekov]
13.   It’s over-the-top, but I can’t help grinning from ear to ear. [Katt]
14.   One of these artists I’m digging a lot more than I expected. [LordCost]
15.   Nothing out of the ordinary but damn it’s really lovely stuff. [Nekov]
16.   Not yet convinced by the ending, but the rest sounds excellent. [Buddy]
17.   The storytelling and general build-up here seem pretty magical. [Indi]
18.   Almost every single thing about this is EXACTLY what I expected. [Katt]
19.   The theme is fun, though might be at risk of backfiring somewhat. [lonestar]
20.   There’s a blend of upbeat and morbid here that sounds compelling. [Cyril]
21.   Everything sounds enjoyable and talented but not much stands out. [lonestar]
22.   I’m not sure I love all of it, some of the tracks are maybe a little dull. [Tomi]
23.   Moody, weighty, but actually pretty accessible and really immersive. [Elite]
24.   This was a bit more varied than I expected, and the guitar work is nice. [Stadler]
25.   It’s all perfectly enjoyable, but perhaps a bit middle-of-the-road to my tastes. [Stadler]
26.   Overall, there’s some really good, crunchy stuff, but the quality isn’t consistent. [LordCost]
27.   There’s a lovely ambience to half of this, and a great energy to most of the rest. [Sacul]
28.   Half of it sounds pretty awesome, although the other half is a lot less interesting. [wolfking]
29.   The flow feels kind of disjointed, but I do love the theme that binds it all together. [romdrums]
30.   One of these artists sounds so much better than my previous experience with them. [Elite]
31.   Nice mix of epicness, atmosphere and groove that somehow doesn’t feel disjointed. [Buddy]
32.   The consistency in both quality and sound here really makes it feel like a genuine EP. [Luoto]
33.   There’s a couple of duds, but the rest is very cool and kind of unique to this roulette. [romdrums]
34.   The middle part of this is solid enough, but the beginning and end are really fantastic. [TAC]
35.   Some of this was kind of unexpected, some of it less so, and it’s a really interesting mix. [Cyril]
36.   There are some great moments but it doesn’t sound as consistent or coherent as I’d like. [Lethean]
37.   The music is nicely theatrical and it all sounds at least pretty good, some of it even great. [Indi]
38.   There’s a really coherent vibe to all this, but enough variety to keep it interesting as well. [king]
39.   It’s fairly heavy and stylistically consistent, but there’s enough variety too to keep it interesting. [TAC]
40.   Stylistically nothing particularly unusual about it, but it’s highly enjoyable and kind of bombastic. [Jingle]
41.   It’s very varied, which is exciting although after one listen I’m not sure how well it all fits together. [Shadow]
42.   This is some ferocious stuff – I dig the intensity but I’m not sure all the music is grabbing me so far. [Puppies]
43.   There’s an element I’m not yet sure about on its own, but it seems to balance with the rest of the EP. [Train]
44.   There’s a nice variety of styles but it’s incredibly consistent tonally, which makes it feel very convincing. [Evermind]

[Crow]

44.   There’s a nice variety of styles but it’s incredibly consistent tonally, which makes it feel very convincing.

well, this is hopefully mine because that was half the point 

of everything else left, i removed all the ones that couldn't even possibly be mine:

2.   This seems like a bit of a mixed bag.
3.   Your good run seems to be continuing.
6.   There’s some gorgeous, emotional stuff here.
10.   It reminds me of a couple of other artists I rather enjoy.
11.   I think this might be the best thing you’ve ever sent me.
12.   There’s a really consistent vibe throughout this whole EP.
14.   One of these artists I’m digging a lot more than I expected.
15.   Nothing out of the ordinary but damn it’s really lovely stuff.

43.   There’s an element I’m not yet sure about on its own, but it seems to balance with the rest of the EP.

it's not half and half, but it's a start

[The Walrus]

13.   It’s over-the-top, but I can’t help grinning from ear to ear.
19.   The theme is fun, though might be at risk of backfiring somewhat.
37.   The music is nicely theatrical and it all sounds at least pretty good, some of it even great.
44.   There’s a nice variety of styles but it’s incredibly consistent tonally, which makes it feel very convincing.

Not confident I'm 44, worried I'm 19, likely to be 13 and/or 37.

[ariich]

Feel free to keep guessing, I'm revealing nothing until the morning.

[Crow]

I have no reason to keep guessing if not given feedback!

[Indiscipline]

22 and 29.

[Sacul]

23 and 31. Maybe 11 too.

[wolfking]

4, 13, 18, 19, 21, 25, 26, 29, 38, 39, 42.  All possible options for mine.
