Dammit, got beaten by people who picked songs at random. :lol

More so than previous rounds, it's hard to reconcile write-ups with scores. Like, some other songs seem to have similarly critical writeups to Lay Your Ghosts To Rest but much better scores.

That said, I can understand why that song didn't work for you. I sent it because of how amazing the clean sections are and I'm glad you enjoyed those as much as you did, but I guess there's quite a few intense parts throughout the song too.

Silent Flight Parliament I feel deserved better, but never mind, bring on the next round.

I'm gunning for you, Pup!

Well at least Memory Palace was a good call! I love the breakdown riff in the middle of that one. All of BTBAM's cowbell breakdowns are good, actually. :lol

Sent for Neal Morse. Unlike you cowards who dice rolled I suffered through enough to find just two songs I actually enjoyed. :biggrin: Same for the next round.

Sent for NM.

Since I am the bottom dweller, I threw caution to the wind and discarded my TAC-centric picks and went with favorites. Maybe it will keep me where I am and maybe it will backfire and he'll love them.

Pardon the interruption, but I just had to run in and celebrate the majesty of Lube in the Face as highest moment in roulette history

I'm happy my Parallax 1 combo paid off well enough.  Just a beast of an EP.

I almost sent Human is Hell.  I kind of wish I did now to be honest.

So, Silent Flight Parliament might've benefitted from a two week round.

As far as the writeups/scores go..
For this round, I listened to each song three times and on the fourth run through, I did the writeups. I start ranking during the second listen, and tweak it again after the third. As I was doing the writeups, a lot of these songs started to clear up for me. Again, tweaking the rankings as I went.

After that, I basically grant a high and low score range and play with them within. I needle dropped some things that I was unsure of, but by that point, I was just done with this round. Usually, I'll do a reaction style writeup with a sentence or two at the end with a general thought. But this round, like I said, I just couldn't do another listen and tweak the comments.

All of the songs had good parts in them.

Lay Your Ghosts To Rest was an example of one song actually getting worse the more I listened to it. :lol
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Roulette Update!


For the Mastodon round, I WILL accept submissions from their new album. Initially I banned it, as I have listened to most of it ONCE. It IS ok to send something from their new album. The OP has been updated..

Fair play but I wouldn't bother personally.  They have enough good shit outside the new one to send IMO.  Could be a masterstroke for some songs though if submitted.

i'm listening to a few neil morse band songs and if there's more than one singer on any of these i would never in a million years be able to tell. i can't find any reference for who sings what anywhere online either so if i accidentally submit a banned song i think it should considered legal anyways because it's not my fault the man doesn't sing in his own goddamn band  :loser:

You're telling me the singer at 1:56 sounds just like the singer at 2:24? Might want to get your ears checked.

The reference is me. Just PM me what you're submitting and I'll tell you if you're good. I am going to be stickler about it if TAC posts the submissions and there ends up being banned stuff in there, because I didn't get to send everything I wanted to send.

i mean i didn't listen to this one, so  :lol
i've literally checked out like four or five songs at most and there was only one part in one song where it was a noticeably different singer
rather than everyone PMing 425 individually i think he owes us a list of every song that's eligible by the 50% rule, if we're actually being this big of a stickler about vetting it  :corn

What I'm writing on that clipboard is "No, ariich, that's Eric Gillette."

It's easier for me to vet what gets sent than go through 62 songs by myself, but fine. I'll post a list soon.

they are actually a lot better than anything i've been sent featuring him in a roulette but that's largely in part because i'm perusing a combination of RYM and the recent Neal Morse survivor to pick at only the songs people seem to like the most that are also not a billion years long  :lol a few of the ones i checked out were pretty lousy though anyways. would not listen to any of these albums in full

we should retroactively redo the BTBAM round and ban any songs that have less than 50% growls and see what happens :neverusethis:
opeth has to be 75% or more growls too and the SW/PT songs have to be at least 80% british
