Woot!  I'm listening to my acoustic I've mapped out and then sending tomorrow night.

[TAC]

I thought it was the acoustic round..

Send it tonight, mapper.

[wolfking]

Interesting take on the keyboards.  I'll look for something tonight to send.

That's harsh on the Threshold.

[TAC]

That's harsh on the Dawn Of Solace.

Yeah, I didn't want to be the one that brought it up...

[King Postwhore]

Woot!  I'm listening to my acoustic I've mapped out and then sending tomorrow night.

Send it tonight, mapper.

Map off.

Don't you hate when a band is on Spotify and the one album you want to pick from isn't on it!

Gee, for some reason I thought I was getting SNL..

[King Postwhore]

They were produced by Lorne Michaels so....

I never got the hype behind it. So many MCR songs are much better IMO.

I'm squishing your head... I remember that one.

[Sacul]

Well NIN is the blueprint for a lot of industrial rock/metal, but they're way better than most imo

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Between Reapers comments on The Paper Chase and MCR and the writeup/score I got for Threshold, I was thinking the same thing. Like, how can The Black Parade be your least favorite MCR song...?

Although, I kind of knew this going into the roulette considering Reapers thoughts on various albums that I both like and dislike. I almost feel like we are polar opposites on a lot of music.

[HOF]

HOF
Enchant - "King"
I could've used a bit more energy with this song.  It's not a bad track, as a matter of fact it's pretty good but it just didn't grab me. It sounds like a track you'd find on prog rock album that splits up 10+ minute epics. With that said it did make my prog rock playlist so it's a keeper.

2.5

Well, that didn’t go as planned, but glad it’s a keeper! I love that whole album especially, but if you like that at all you’d probably like other Enchant stuff (they don’t ever venture too far from that sort of Rush-like hard rock/prog, but they do have some flashier stuff than that one, which for me is just a great rocker.

Sending some acoustic goodness soon.

[Deadeye21]

First round was a huge success in my book. There was a ton of music here to like/love and I already have a lot of bands that I'm going to dig deeper into. It was tough to properly rate this round so I had to get a little more nitpicky. Anyway, onto the results:

Round 1 Results:

3.5

Iron Maiden - "Hell On Earth"
I've only heard one Iron Maiden album and that was Number of the Beast. I didn't think it was that great and was moreorless forgettable, this song on the other hand was not. Hell On Earth had a lot of space and breath to it. From the quiet opening to the gallops and then back to a more subdued section it all came together really well. When I heard Number of the Beast I thought Iron Maiden wasn't for me but after hearing this I'm open to checking out more of their stuff.

3.5

Scores so far:

Vmader00 - 4.5
Kingshmegland - 4.5
Tomislav95 - 4
Elite - 4
jingle.boy - 4
senecadawg2 - 4
Lonestar - 3.5
Deadeye21 - 3.5
Stadler - 3
TAC - 3
Luoto - 3
wolfking - 3
Cyril - 2.5
HOF - 2.5
Sacul - 2
Puppies_On_Acid - 1.5

Crap, I got a long way to go if I’m going to break into the top 5 at the end. Hopefully the song I’ve chosen for the acoustic round counts.

[lonestar]

Glad you enjoyed the song! I'll send tomorrow, just have to pick between a few options.

I'll send the instrumental soon..

I thought it was the acoustic round..

shhhh

That's fucked up 

[Tomislav95]

I'll take that 4

[jingle.boy]

Question... how does the bonus scoring work?  I'm certain I'll send an acoustic, but just curious what the payoff is (isn't).

Also, Threshold deserved a better fate.

[jingle.boy]

That River's song was fucking amazing, definitely my favorite aside from what I sent.

Could've been.. but those vox.

Amorphis - "Sampo"
I think my first impression of this track was a little harsh however this was another track whose individual elements were good but it didn't mesh fully at the end. The first half of the song didn't really click with me but once the middle section hit with the solo and heavy vocals I was getting pulled back in.

3

The thing with Amorphis is their music is pretty diverse, their catalog ranges from straightforward melodic rockers to prog elements and death metal. You may want to check out Under the Red Cloud or Queen of Time, they're heavier than this.

This helps me figure out what to send later in the roulette, after this acoustic submission.

You get a bonus point on top of your base score. If I scored the song a 4 and you were within the theme of the bonus round you'd get an additional point bringing your score up to 5.

[Lonk]

Great start, I don't remember everything that I sent but I'm ready to drop to last place in the next few rounds 

That River's song was fucking amazing, definitely my favorite aside from what I sent.

Where Owls Know my Name is a really good album, worth checking out. Their latest album is not as heavy but still pretty good.

Yes, I am quite childish.
