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

[Elite]

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

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

My favourites from BTBAM are Colors and The Great Misdirect. I really enjoy the Automata albums, but the other three (Parallax, Coma Ecliptic and Colors II) kind of blend together in such a way that I don't know which song is which and can't recall any good parts. I feel like I must add that I'm also less familiar with those three albums.

I think familiarity makes a big difference with all of BTBAM's music. A lot of their albums are a whole work where the individual songs have less of their own identity, but e.g. that's definitely the case with Colors but if you know it really well, things standout more. They do have a few albums with more distinct songs though (TGM and Automata in particular, and Parrallax II and Coma Ecliptic are maybe somewhere in between). But for me that doesn't affect how much I like them.

[ariich]

Sent some epic stuff.

[Elite]

after everyone has sent let's start a guessing competition which song(s) were sent most

In fact; why not do it for every round?

[425]

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.

Narrator: And then 425 and ProfessorPeart won the round.

If I win I'll listen to my submissions

[Evermind]

I know 0 BTBAM songs even though I think I tried listening to Colors once. Time to roll the dice!

edit: one song was ehhhh, the other was pretty good though, I enjoyed it. Hopefully Tim doesn't!

[TAC]

Lots to respond to from the overnight. I will when I get home and have my keyboard.

I think we’re just waiting on:

Stadler
Elite
Buddy
Vmadera

I'll see if I can find them later. I'm on my work laptop right now and I can't even tell you the names of the 2 songs I sent. Not a clue. I have them saved in a note on my main home PC.

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 

 

Deathless is freaking awesome. Pareidolia was OK.

wtf, Nocturnal Conspiracy wins the round

Why is that a WTF? That song is great!

[TAC]

I rolled the dice and sent! Gonna go listen to my songs now

This PM gave me a good laugh this morning!

Rolling a d6 (six-sided die) for the albums where...

and a d12 (twelve-sided die) for the song here's what the dice came up with!

How the hell does this work if the first five albums are banned? Is 2 The Silent Circus? Is 2 Coma Ecliptic? Would 1 and 6 both be Parallax II?

I guess there are 6 releases post-TGM if you include Parallax I and both Automatas as separate...

i mean if parallax I is #1 then it works out from there
in which case the two songs picked are..... both actually pretty good picks for TAC, funnily enough

Damn, you're right!

Also TAC do you mind if I send for Round 4 and 5 now? I've got two songs I think are decent for C&C and Neal Morse and I don't want to listen to either of them any more.

Take a wild guess
I wasn't able to find anything I liked better than those so

[TAC]

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

[Elite]

Did Evermind just send the same 2 songs I sent?

[TAC]

No, you guys sent completely different songs.

I've heard one C&C in my life and only heard it once.  Might take Ruslans approach as I don't want to listen to them at all lol.

About 15 years ago, I worked with a kid that knew I was a big Maiden fan. He brought in a CD and told me I'd love it. It sounded intriguing, but I couldn't get past the vocals. Really strange sound.

I bought In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 so I could review it for my college newspaper. I hated it so much I reviewed something else. I haven’t listened to it since but I figure I still have the CD. Guess I ought to dust it off and see if anything has changed in 18 years.

My initial reaction was that Coheed weren't around 15 years ago but then I discovered that I'm actually old now.

Yeah, when I started to type out that story, I initially wrote about 10 years ago...but it wasn't. It was 15.
