The TAC Roulette V.5...DTF Faves..WTF Am I Missing?? MastoDONE!

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Guess I should have sent The Mighty Masterbator.

[TAC]

Vampira is a cool pick, although it might be a bit too crazy for TAC.

I'd be surprised if Tim likes Vampira.

 

[TAC]

I've sent my Devin and Neal Morse, and everything after that is going to be torture.  I have no real like for any of the other bands and will embark on a similar journey to my man Tim, hoping to find two songs I like enough to share.  Not holding my breath.

And herein lies the evil genius of TAC.  So genius in fact, he outsmarted himself.

Ya'll enjoy that torture.  This is gonna be a common reaction / facial expression on many of you for the rest of the year

You could've played too!

Bugger, I literally thought Chad signed up for this.  A shame.

[King Postwhore]

You should have. Great song.

Here are the first set of First Impressions. I'll post the second set first thing in the morning.



I was finding the song a bit slow going, but the instrumental passage to close the song is outstanding.[From The Heart-425]

It’s Deaf Forever’s riff. Nice poppy track. (Bend It Like Bender-Stadler]

Really nice. Excellent chorus. Cool guitar. Nice.[Failure-Puppies, Ariich, Evermind]

Cool driving rhythms. Frenetic pace to this.[Poltergeist-Elite, Wolfking]

Was thinking this was a bit wanky but that guitar solo is nails. [Deep Peace-Professor Peart]

Really strong vocals for the early verses.  This song is really thick, but good.[Kingdom-VMadera]

This is the Keep It In The Family riff! Driving track for sure.[Addicted!-Buddy, Lonestar]

This isn’t the Rush Round. [Traveller-LudwigVan]

Wow, that’s a powerful song, but it does test your patience.[Stand-Cyril]

Decent enough tune. Will it stand out?[Almost Again-Romdrums]

Nice enough but not very exciting, though it “grands up” for the second half.[Where We Belong-Kingshmegland]

This was actually pretty nice to start but damn it lingers[Funeral-Kwyjibo, HOF]

[wolfking]

Mastadon!! 

[ProfessorPeart]

Mastadon!!

Yikes! He wants us to send dub-step?!?!?!?

I'm out. Can't listen to that.

[ariich]

Vampira is a cool pick, although it might be a bit too crazy for TAC.

I'd be surprised if Tim likes Vampira.

 

It's from the more fun side of his metal music, but I don't think it's that crazy (compared to things like Bad Devil or a lot of Deconstruction). Quite a driving song with cool riffs and great hooks.

[Kwyjibo]

Vampira is a great song, it was on my list of songs to send.

[wolfking]

Vampira is a cool pick, although it might be a bit too crazy for TAC.

Fair play lads.  I'm guessing this response from Tim means I'm wrong.

Bonus round!

This response means I'm eating popcorn.

OK, here's the second grouping of First Impressions..


Skesis
Vampira
Higher
Supercrush!
Life
Stormbending
Planet Smasher
Deadhead
Sumeria
March Of The Poozers
Suicide
Love?






Not sure the Live version really adds much but it’s still cool.[Kingdom (Live)-Romdrums]

Really cool rhythm guitar to start. Quite a bit of variety for a song this length.

Kind of hectic, even a bit monotonous. Nice drum patterns near the end.

The chorus is the best part of this, Love the ending too..

Great opening guitar! Not a fan of Mid Tempo, but it works here.

Sounds like from a play or something. Almost choral in parts.

Driving tune with a steady beat. Might be too driving and too steady though.[Regulator-Elite]

The first half was amazing, almost Styx-ish, but it peters out by the end.

A very nice and simple tune. A nice change from the noise. But is it good enough?

Feels like there should be some animation to go with this.

This song is some heavy duty shit. Deep track that will need more listens.

My name is mud. Not to be confused with Bill or Jack or Steve

Totally enhances the studio version[Deep Peace (Live)-Stadler]

Love the vocals in this song. Really cool rhythm guitars too.

My first impression is that you cannot give a first impression with just one listen. This song is loaded.

[Stadler]

Not sure the Live version really adds much but it’s still cool.

[Stadler]

It’s Deaf Forever’s riff. Nice poppy track.
This is the Keep It In The Family riff! Driving track for sure.

One of these is probably Addicted. I dunno what either of those riffs are.

Keep It In The Family is an Anthrax song. And YES!

Deaf Forever is Motorhead.

Yeah, I should have gotten that one.  I had "Riot" in my head, though, and I couldn't connect it.

[TAC]

Wrong, but then that makes them obvious...
Updated.

[King Postwhore]

The chorus is the best part of this, Love the ending too..

Driving tune with a steady beat. Might be too driving and too steady though.

Love the vocals in this song. Really cool rhythm guitars too.

Which songs are you trying to guess, because these sure as hell ain't yours.

[King Postwhore]

 

You dirty.........

[Evermind]

Failure was a no-brainer for me. It's catchy, accessible, still heavy, has a good solo, doesn't have the trademark wall of sound. Just a good song all around.

[Lonk]

Great opening guitar! Not a fan of Mid Tempo, but it works here.

[TAC]

No.

[Elite]

OK, here's the second grouping of First Impressions..

Regulator

Driving tune with a steady beat. Might be too driving and too steady though.
Love the vocals in this song. Really cool rhythm guitars too.

One of these two for Regulator?

[TAC]

Yes!

[Buddyhunter1]

Listening to more Coheed And Cambria and I remain unconvinced that the two songs I've gotten from them in my roulettes aren't their only two good songs.

[Crow]

What two songs were those 

[jingle.boy]

TAC was kind enough to share the playlist with me, and (fortunately or unfortunately depending on your POV), 12 songs were not available on Spotify Canada.  Keeping in mind that I own Trascendance, Addicted, Accelerated Evolution, Terria and Synchestra .... my various gifpressions:





















Am I missing something, or is there a reason no one sent anything from Infinity (cuz it's probably what I most enjoy from Devy).

[425]

What two songs were those 

I went hunting because I was curious, too, and it looks like they were In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 and Welcome Home.

I can definitely understand a prog fan liking only IKSoSE3. And I guess there's a reason Welcome Home was a hit, although it was never among my favorites.

Yup. I'm listening to Burning Star IV now and I tried IKSoSE3 a while back (fuck these album titles, man) and nothing else has really stuck out at me.
