Woah a 4 to one of the best pop songs ever? Damn :lol

I'll send something worse then :P

Checks various 80s pop artist off the list of potential sends.

Honestly though, I don’t think that song or The Colour of Spring in general have that overt of an 80s sound (I guess Life’s What You Make It does). That album is a timeless masterpiece in my opinion.

OK. Time to think this through. I was hoping for a little better.  Time to dig in.

Nick_z: Dawn of Solace - Lead Wings

This is a great start to what may one day be your roulette legacy. It's a pretty solid, straight forward song, nothing particularly flashy but it has a great groove to it. I really dig the guitar work, and the melodic lead that plays through the song especially. The vocals let it down a bit for me. Not that they are bad, they just aren't quite as good as the rest of the song. I'm surprised that you and TAC said it was your favourite song of 2020, as that is quite an accolade. Not sure what more I have to say about this? It's all about that guitar work for me. Keep 'em coming dude.

7/10

I was away for a few days, bringing my stepson back to college in upstate NY - junior year, and my wife and I decided to make a short family trip out of it. Anyway, catching up with some forum posts now ;D

...And this, of course, was one I was very curious about! Glad you enjoyed the song  :) Like I said before, I'm a sucker for this type of sad, melancholic sound, but with some bite, and I find the vocals fit the mood well. But I get that they might not be everybody's cup of tea. And yes, I have to agree the guitar work is stellar (and it is throughout the album). The riffs and the melodies, they are just so good. Tuomas Saukkonen is the mastermind behind this (and several other bands), and he plays most of the instruments here (including drums).

I don't know if this was my #1 song for 2020, as it was for TAC, but it was almost certainly top 5. You should check out the rest of the album too, it's chock-full of good songs in this vein.

Now it's time to think about round 2  :biggrin:

I thiunk Lead Wings is far and away the best track on the album. The album is quite solemn and pretty slow throughout. It's not really in my wheelhouse, but I just though it struck a chord. I love the vocals BTW.

Their new song picks up where this left off.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related

TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Agreed that the pace on Lead Wings is a little more brisk compared to the rest of the album. It might be my favorite song overall too - but I think the quality is so consistently high throughout...the acoustics on Hiding, the subtle piano motif in Silence, morphing into mid-career Katatonia in the chorus, the guitar melody in Numb...I could go on. Such a great album.

Cheers for the quick submissions guys, I'll try to keep the pace up for the early rounds at least!

I have been really busy today so not been able to respond back to all your post result replies. I've read them all though  :corn seems like everyone has an opinion on Moonsorrow  :lol

I'm not even sure who hasn't sent yet but seems like everyone is eager to crack on 👍

I mean, basically every album from Kivenkantaja onwards is amazing.

Pup..

I found it. You sent me Primea in the Crybabies half of the 9th (Open) Round of my 3rd Roulette.

From my notes..


5. Puppies..Moonsorrow - Pimea

"This song totally rocks. But it is way too long."

I liked this song a lot. It really grooves on the ride cymbal. Reminds me of the last Tribulation album.
And while I love the pocket this song sits in, it sits in it for 16 fucking minutes. That's way to long for what this song does, or doesn't do. Had this been like 6 minutes, it'd have scored a lot higher I think.



I was stack ranking so it got 5 points (with 12 being the best and 1 being the worst.)




I think I'm going to give it a listen ..

Luke basically says the same thing as I did..

This song is pretty long, for what it is, and the length kills it a bit for me. I think for me a condensed version would have been more enjoyable.
