mine = round winner

[Buddyhunter1]

I'm at the top of the list because I'm #1 (6/10 again)

[Crow]

impressions babey

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

mine = round winner

Of all the submissions I've heard this round, yours is one of them.

I'm at the top of the list because I'm #1 (6/10 again)

It is possible that a 6 will the top score, I suppose....

impressions babey

I'll put in a word with the boss and see if we can make that happen.

My internet has been down all day so there's no telling when I'll actually be able to continue listening, but in the meantime and by dint of some witchcraft, I have procured first impressions.

1:   I don't listen to anything like this but I really like it
2:   To be honest I don't have any strong feelings about this
3:   Seems like it would be right up my alley
4:   Riffs are good, vocals are there
5:   At times a bit chaotic but the quieter moments are really nice
6:   Heavy, but not as heavy as I expected
7:   The harsh vocals aren't really working for me (wolfking, Omnium Gatherum)
8:   I would play this video game (Buddyhunter1, Anamanaguchi)
9:   Part of this strongly reminds me of another band I really like (Cyril, Mithras)
10:   This avoids the shortcomings of [tributary genre]
11:   Interesting stylistically but not as much musically (TAC, Tribulation)
12:   Hogarth?  (HOF, Talk Talk)
13:   This should be my kind of thing but it's not doing much for me
14:   I could see how the vocal style might be a turn off but it's working for me
15:   Great guitar work

[The Walrus]

fudge

except I didn't say fudge

[TAC]

7:   The harsh vocals aren't really working for me

This isn't mine I hope.

[Evermind]

11:   Interesting stylistically but not as much musically
13:   This should be my kind of thing but it's not doing much for me

Seems most likely it's one of these. Let's start optimistic and go with either 1 or 3.

[Sacul]

7:   The harsh vocals aren't really working for me

This isn't mine I hope.

Good news, it is not yours.

2

Nope.

12

Bingo. There were moments where I was sure I was listening to H.

None of the above! Yours is actually pretty non-obvious, now that I think about it.

10

Nope.

[TAC]

I assume 15 is Wolfking.

I could be 1, 11, or 14?

[HOF]

12

Bingo. There were moments where I was sure I was listening to H.

Definitely an influence on Hogarth and Marillion.

[Buddyhunter1]

8:   I would play this video game

unless someone else happened to send video game-esque music too

[TAC]

Gee, and I came thisclose to sending video game music 

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Updated with correct guesses. Also, my internet has returned, so I should be able to listen through submissions tonight, and again tomorrow while I'm doing the writeups, hopefully getting results out sometime tomorrow night.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

4, 6, 7, 9, 14?

[Crow]

any of 1, 5, 7, 10, 14? dunno

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

No to all of the above guesses. Nice work!

[Crow]

well that's 8 of 15 it can't be then 

4, 6, 13, 15?

[Sacul]

14?

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

well that's 8 of 15 it can't be then 

4, 6, 13, 15?

I hope you never play the lottery. 

I'm being unfair to you though. There's really no way you could know this one.

14?

Nope round 2.

[Crow]

that just leaves 2, 3, 9 for me, so it's fine 

i'm gonna guess 9 then, based on your comment?

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

9 it is.

[Crow]

awesome, that tells me nothing 

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

I'll make sure your first impressions are decreasingly useful as the roulette goes on. The final one will simply say "     ".

[TAC]

Oh boy. Sucked it this round..

[Crow]

I'll make sure your first impressions are decreasingly useful as the roulette goes on. The final one will simply say "     ".

"i have an opinion on this"
"i listened to the songs"
"<the definition of music from wikipedia>"
"spicy"

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Oh boy. Sucked it this round..

Well, these are only first impressions. There's always room for songs to grow on me. In fact, that's already happened several times on this round, although I won't say which submissions they were.

   I won't go full Scar on you.

So my 4 moved up to a 5?

[Crow]

  I won't go full Scar on you.

"spicy" is, surprisingly enough, not from scar's roulette

[Sacul]

15

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Was that from Kat's roulette? Or maybe Ariich?



Or was that me?
