SN's Homestuck roulette: jpeg hero (final results)

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

All correct. Whenever we finish up hangman or I just complete it, I can post first impressions if people are interested, and then we should be in good shape to get round 1 results either Saturday or Sunday night.

[Elite]

If you dislike Sugar Dragon you’re getting something way worse next round.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Did someone say first impressions??

1:   This has elements of what I dislike about [insert genre], but it might be musically adventurous enough to make up for it (Puppies_On_Acid, Negură Bunget)
2:   Nothing technically wrong or bad, but it's leaving me kind of cold (Evermind, iamthemorning)
3:   Thank you bean (Sacul, Refused)
4:   I really like the harsh sections (Cyril/ariich, Actor | Observer)
5:   Did Jari finally get that studio built? (TAC, Euphoreon)
6:   Great music, mush production (wolfking, In Flames)
7:   pretty weird  (Buddyhunter1, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum)
8:   The clean vocal melodies seem lacking (Cyril/ariich, Actor | Observer)
9:   Pretty much every part of this is working for me (Tomislav95, Arcane Roots)
10:   I love a lot of the music but the vocal lines feel uninspired (HOF, Fernando Perdomo)
11:   Vocals really let down some pretty groovy music (Stadler, KISS)
12:   This is a strange mix of styles that melds together really well (Luoto, Astronoid)
13:   Energetic and pretty varied (romdrums, 22)
14:   Beautiful (The Walrus, Enya)
15:   Björk fronting a metal band? (Elite, Brutus)

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Oh boy, mine could be 1,2,6,7,12,13?

[Buddyhunter1]

7?

[Luoto]

15:   Björk fronting a metal band?

Haha, I can see that now. Could be a couple others of those too though.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Oh boy, mine could be 1,2,6,7,12,13?

Yours is indeed among those numbers.

7?

7 it is.

15:   Björk fronting a metal band?

Haha, I can see that now. Could be a couple others of those too though.

This one is not yours, but I'm amused by the idea that there are several submission in this roulette that could be mistaken for a Björk-fronted metal band.

[HOF]

I have a suspicion mine might be 2, 10, or 11, but I’m pulling for 13.

[The Walrus]

14 for lady Enya?

[Stadler]

13:   Energetic and pretty varied

Not saying all are equally likely, but any of these could be.   I would bet on 1, 2, or 11.  Outside shot of 13.

[Elite]

15 is so clearly mine

[The Walrus]

Last place hell yeah

[Evermind]

2 or 10 I guess

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

I have a suspicion mine might be 2, 10, or 11, but I’m pulling for 13.

10 is indeed yours.

14 for lady Enya?

Yeah I guess that one was pretty obvious.

Your bet is good, and you win an 11.

15 is so clearly mine

Yes.

2 or 10 I guess

2 is yours.

Also, everyone who has a less positive first impression, don't lose hope yet. These are only first impressions and my opinions may change the more I listen. And even if I don't end up liking it, I always appreciate you guys sending me stuff outside my wheelhouse.

[Crow]

4, 9, or 13

[HOF]

Fernando is not a dynamic singer for sure, but I do think he has a nice warm voice that suits his style.

[Sacul]

13?

[The Walrus]

Fernando is not a dynamic singer for sure, but I do think he has a nice warm voice that suits his style.

Totally. I've only heard his new album that came out in March but it's very nice music.

[wolfking]

I think 5 is Tim's.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

4, 9, or 13

There are two that can apply to either yours or ariich's, and 4 is indeed one of them.

13?

Nope.

I think 5 is Tim's.

Haha yes.

[wolfking]

Hoping mine might be 9.

Could be 1 though I guess.

[TAC]

I think 5 is Tim's.

Haha yes.

Who is Jari? and I hope Ninja likes him!

[The Walrus]

I think 5 is Tim's.

Haha yes.

Who is Jari? and I hope Ninja likes him!

Jari is the Wintersun dude, dude.

[Crow]

if you end up liking the harsh sections but then #8 is also actor | observer then i might regret not swapping out in your ways for low and beholden oops

[Sacul]

8

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

I think 5 is Tim's.

Haha yes.

Who is Jari? and I hope Ninja likes him!

I don't know about Jari as a person, but I think he's a great vocalist and guitarist and I like a lot of the music he makes.

if you end up liking the harsh sections but then #8 is also actor | observer then i might regret not swapping out in your ways for low and beholden oops

8 is also yours/Rich's, although I will say again that these are only first impressions.

8

Not this time. Honestly I thought yours was pretty obvious, but maybe I'm just hearing things. 

Hoping mine might be 9.

Could be 1 though I guess.

edit: Whoops I missed this one. Nope, neither of those are yours.

[Sacul]

1 then?

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Look man, all I'm saying is that at the end of New Noise, the guy definitely screams 'thank you bean' like 15 times in a row.

[Sacul]

Ooohh I totally missed that mishearing

[wolfking]

12?

[wolfking]

I think 5 is Tim's.

Haha yes.

Who is Jari? and I hope Ninja likes him!

As Michael said, Wintersun.  Wonderful band as you know.

[Buddyhunter1]

Look man, all I'm saying is that at the end of New Noise, the guy definitely screams 'thank you bean' like 15 times in a row.

I heard that too.

[Sacul]

For the longest time I thought it said "The truth is" but seems it actually says "The new beat!"

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

OK all impressions are now revealed, and results should be coming sometime tonight, in local shadow ninja time.

Also a note on scoring: since I've decided to eschew decimals and since it's basically unheard of for someone to send me a song I actively dislike, I'm going to be using the scoring scale more liberally. So some of these scores may appear pretty vicious on first glance, but they're really not. For instance, a 5 in most other roulettes would be brutal, but here a 5 is just something I like aspects of but am not crazy about the whole thing.

ALL THAT TO SAY don't worry if your submission gets a low score, because there's much less difference between a 6 and 9 than you might think and it should be easy to recover (or do the opposite of recover).

[Buddyhunter1]

Well that sounds like a challenge.
