So, these impressions came out more negative than I recalled when initially workshopping them, so a few of you should know that the later impressions and results may not reflect these, even by the second listen or further. One other small thing coming tomorrow as well.
Round 7 Early Impressions:
1: HOF - Sweet Billy Pilgrim - The second half is fairly repetitive and goes on for quite awhile. Good thing I like it.
2: In a more perfect world this would be the kind of music rock radio would play.
3: TAC - Dreamgrave - This is all over the place, but in a way that appeals to me.
4: I like the spaciousness of the atmosphere, but the guitars have no weight to them.
5: This definitely captures some of the feeling of the third song.
6: The synths are really cool when they appear, but they aren't present enough.
7: The only thing I could remember about it were the tom rolls.
8: The guest vocals seem rather underutilized.
9: The basic sound is pretty cool, but I'm not sure how memorable it's going to be.
10: This is the metal version of a kid walking into a candy store.
11: This seems to have most of the right elements, but for some reason isn't clicking with me.
12: This song only has enough ideas to support half of its runtime.
13: soupytwist - Ancient Bards - I've heard many, many songs like this, but I couldn't help being pulled in by the end.
14: The instrumental arrangement is a bit bare-bones, but the vocals seem like they could be infectious.
15: It became unexpectedly epic in the middle, but might have gone on a minute or two too long.
16: The harsh vocals might be holding this back some.
17: I don't remember taking LSD, but I somehow must have.
18: This is definitely the sound from the first song I'm looking for, but will this one grow on me?
