The Walrus's Lead-Free Roulette -- now exploring every roulette submission ever

[jingle.boy]

They're not mutually exclusive. 

I'm banking on that!

[The Walrus]

I've only had to request one re-submission this entire time, which is awesome. For the curious, it was Soen. I believe asking them to re-submit is being merciful.

You gotta have some really strict definitions for metal and prog for Soen not to fall under either of them

That's what I thought; I've heard 2 full albums and they sound... like prog metal to me. They remind me heavily of Tool. When they played ProgPower USA in 2018, I went back to the hotel and napped until Anneke van Giersbergen was scheduled to play.

Yeeeah. I really like Soen but this is definitely not the roulette to send them.

[King Postwhore]

Soen is not Disco?

[Train of Naught]

Dude, I saw this post and was like "WTF, which dumbo is trying to send Soen in a non metal / non prog roulette??"

Then I open my mail and see Katt replying to my submission (which is not even close to anything Soen related whatsoever) saying I have to resend because he hates Soen. Ouch?!? and also what the fuck makes you think I sent Soen?

So looking at my text...

Hey man!

I'm gonna do the same as with ariiich, send you a playlist with everything in it sorted by round 1 at the top, etc., for now I just have round one but I'll add the rest of the artists very soon. This first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff. Discovered them this year!

[spotify link]

Clearly auto-correct changed one of my words to Soen, man!!

[King Postwhore]

 

I cannot make fun of you there.  With my history.  LOL

This is hilarious!! OMG. I also owe Train an apology for not opening the link to double check 

[Train of Naught]

Got a good laugh out of me too

But I'm still hurt by your comments on Soen, right in the feels Tellurian is one of my favourite albums in the category of somewhat.. 'standard modern prog metal', which is a genre I'm really not that interested in anymore.

[The Walrus]

Hopefully your submission pleases me and will make up for the painful truth about Soen.

[Elite]

haha failtrain

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I hope Katt likes my submission. I sent one of my favorite Hip-Hop artists of all time.

[ariich]

For hangman:

Train: Federation of the Disco Pimp
    1: Walk Away
    2: Crank
    3: Click Your Heels
    4: No Place Like Home

Also that's hilarious that it presumably changed "some" to "Soen".

But also major lol at Katt clearly not even reading your submission (let alone opening the link) where you appeared to describe Soen as "cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff".

[Crow]

i'm skipping the lady gaga album bcuz all the singles are so meeehhhh i can't imagine the album is gonna be anything interesting either
i found three albums maybe worth listening to today but it feels like a really dead week in terms of releases

[jingle.boy]

Yeah, I think even *I* might've picked up on something being amiss there.

Also, sent

Yeah, it's a very dead new release friday for me. Only 2 albums I'm even remotely interested in. Deerhoof and Alestorm. I'm probably going to hate the new Alestorm, but ehhh...

Hey there's one I don't have on my list. I thought I had them all...

Look, I had just woken up, and didn't even pay attention to that. Throw me a bone here 

[The Walrus]

Chad is the only dude to email his submissions to me. I was gonna be like, "Sent? Bullshit!" but there they are. 

[Crow]

I sent Soen for round 3 btw

[The Walrus]

Just need romdrums, Big Hath, and Sacul, if I have all these jotted down correctly. Again, no rush. If I make a post talking about it, I'll remember it better, that's just how I am. I think I'll close the signups officially once I have the last submissions, and then Epic Hangman. Gentlemen... the fun will begin soon. 

[Crow]

Again, no rush.

yeah we know prog is banned

Saving DTF Inbox's, one message at a time.

Let's see if I can give Puppies another one:

Again, still need 3 submissions. There's still plenty of time. Hell, TAC has heard more of round 1 than I have already.

[TAC]

Yup, got the first 11 in. Actually, I couldn't bring myself to listen to one of them. 

About to listen to the rest.

[King Postwhore]

Be brave Tim.  Be brave.

[Elite]

What was it?

All in due time.
