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

[TAC]

On the ending of Drowning in the Flood, I realized yesterday that the very end is a little strange when it's taken on its own, because it flows right into the next song.

Oh OK.  It just felt like a Jordan wank.

Looking at the standings, I feel like I'm far behind, but looking at the scores, it's all still pretty close.

It's still early. Just send what Ariich sends. It's working for Puppies!

[Crow]

honestly the biggest plot twist of the round is you liking deathless that much 
i mean it is def top ten haken for me and one of if not my favorite on visions, so

It is a great song.

Oh, THAT's what you were objecting to. Just re-read your post while listening to it and I was talking about something else, how the end is a little sudden. Yeah, what you're talking about basically is wank if you want to call it that.

Dear Ariich,
What is a "Between the Buried and Me"?
Kindest regards,
425

[TAC]

 

Perfect!

[lonestar]

I really think before the btbam we all need to get a first impression of Cockroach King.

I’ll do it tomorrow as soon as I get gone from work.

That said, get the BTBAM songs in!!

[Crow]

this would be the perfect warmup for BTBAM's wackier side, tbh

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

It's still early. Just send what Ariich sends. It's working for Puppies!

I'm gonna start looking for the hidden cameras if Ariich ends up sending the same BtBaM songs as me... 

[faizoff]

I kinda regret not joining this roulette. Other than Devy who I'm not familiar with at all, I would have had a blast submitting songs for TAC.

Sounds like you need to run a roulette yourself!

I'm starting to feel this way, too. I would've really liked sending for the BTBAM round in particular.

I'm having a really hard time deciding on songs for this round. I keep going back and forth on several songs.

[lonestar]

Aaaaaaaaaand sent.

It's been on my mind forever and one day I will get the willpower and mental strength to be able to self-torture and take in the terrible suggestions that come my way. 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Aaaaaaaaaand sent.

[ProfessorPeart]

Sent.

Thinking I'm just going to throw caution to the wind going forward.

[Crow]

at the point where deathless gets an 8.5 and pareidolia gets a 7.7 we're basically dealing with a random number generator as far as i'm concerned so i'm just gonna stick to my guns with all the stuff i've sent so far

  Yeah, beneath the surface level TAC's tastes are an enigma wrapped in a mystery as far as I'm concerned.

I know one of by BTBAM submissions, the other I'm still mulling over. Hard when all of my favorite songs by them are banned. Will send soon tho

[lonestar]

One was my song of the year it was released. The other I just picked at random almost. As someone else said, it's really hard to single out tracks in a btbam album.

[425]

Just sent my blind submission, guided only by "what seems popular on reddit."

[ProfessorPeart]

Just sent my blind submission, guided only by "what seems popular on reddit."

My 2 songs were based off of the 90 second clips in iTunes. I have not heard any more than that of either song. TAC will have heard more than me by the time he gets to them.

I have no music streaming service so clips are all I got.

[LudwigVan]

Sent, but my ears are still bleeding.

Although I recognize how good these musicians are, I just don't get BTBAM. Easily my least favorite band in the roulette. And when I listened to some of the clean vocal parts, I couldn't help thinking: Coldplay.

Yeah all of this, I didn't expect Tim to like a song that's both long and slow as much but I'm pleasantly surprised he did (even though it means Kwyji has gained ground on me!).

Anyway that round was awesome and very pleasing.

Narrator: And then 425 and ProfessorPeart won the round.

[wolfking]

I love BTBAM but I haven't a clue what to send.

[ariich]

I've narrowed it down to four songs, but damn it's now really hard to choose.

Tim will probably like them all, but obviously I want to pick the ones he'll like most.

[Kwyjibo]

Yay, nice 

And why are you all so surprised that Tim likes a song like Deathless? We all know that inside a metalhead there's always a soft spot. 



And now to find some BTBAM to send, so out with the darts and see where they stick.

[Crow]

i think my picks are pretty close to flawless given that i don't have their best album or their best song to work with, but from what's left, nah, i think i nailed it

Sending BTBAM to Tim last time was so much easier when White Walls was available.

[Crow]

that's the one i mean when i refer to "their best song", yes 

[wolfking]

I know, that's why I posted that. 

[Elite]

wtf, Nocturnal Conspiracy wins the round

sending soon!

edit: crap, I can't send The Great Misdirect? Well, that's kind-of a bummer. Everything afterwards is a) not as good and b) not memorable enough to me to be able to pick out two songs right now

[ariich]

Strongly disagree. For me, everything from Parrallax II onwards is better than eveything before.

[Crow]

this a bad time to say neither of my picks were off parallax II, huh?

[Kwyjibo]

wtf, Nocturnal Conspiracy wins the round

And rightfully so 


And sent for the next round.
