Hmm, not actually sure which is mine this time. Will take a guess after some have been matched. This was certainly my favorite submission thus far so I hope it's not one of the lukewarm ones!

One of these?

Not the strongest vocally, but the delivery is convincing and the music is mostly great.
The general sound and style was cool and dark, but not sure the music matched up to it.
Hmm, well, there’s plenty to like but mainly I’m just glad that vocals in this genre have since improved.

Wasn’t convinced at first, but this got better with each track.
One possible dud, but otherwise a bunch of good, catchy songs.
Didn’t sound very distinctive, and yet some of the songs were really nice.
A good illustration of not needing to do anything fancy to write solid rock songs.
I can see what you were going for, but it sounded a bit middle of the road for me.
Not the strongest vocally, but the delivery is convincing and the music is mostly great.

I think mine is in there....

Updated it with the correct guesses to within 3, Cyril and Stadler you were also right but not narrowed down enough.

The other guesses were wrong.

Round 3 first impressions

Enjoyably bonkers.
Wow, this was quite a journey!
Lovely sound and great playing.
Mysterious and eerie and pretty cool.
More serious and heartfelt than I expected. [HOF – Journey]
Very nice - chilled but with a fair bit going on.
This was great - varied, catchy and surprisingly rocking.

Bold choice to go for a style that I’m not sure has ever scored well in my roulettes.
Talented playing and a distinct sound - this is more like it as far as this genre goes. [romdrums – Jean-Luc Ponty]

A journey to either Boston or Chicago?

I bet the Mike Oldfield song was the "quite a journey!" reaction.

Rock & Roll Band was a late switch, and I labored over it and I decided to take Don't Look Back off. I just felt that DLB was to close in style and sound to More Than A Feeling and Peace Of Mind.

Hopefully the track grows on you and blends a bit better.

Then you should have sent what they sent.

I'm joking of course, I think all my roulette regulars will agree it's hard to predict what will work for me.

Ima gonna kick myself if Easy Lover is the dud - and it probably is since two songs are very similar in being a drum-dominated sound; and two others are similar with a brass-heavy sound.

But, I'll take it. It was better than some of the alternatives. I'll admit, last night I was banking on getting the impression that Kwyji got.

At least you didn't send One More Night.

Through These Walls would've been a decent choice, or his cover of Tomorrow Never Knows.

I think I threw up in my ears a little just remembering that song. What trash. Probably shoulda sent the cover of You Can't Hurry Love
