So this has answered a few questions I had about roulettes, but hadn't asked yet, or seen discussion of in any of the ones I skimmed. Namely, is it ok to talk up your song in PMs, and is it ok to send videos of the songs. It appears to be so, but I ignored all of that initially, purely going off the audio in my first three listens. So here they are without any further ado.
Early Impressions:
1: This is a melding of a branch of prog I find intriguing, and another I don't know as well, but I'm not sure there's quite enough payoff for all of the buildup.
2: Not what I was expecting, but actually now I'm not sure what I was expecting. You may have found some of the hacks into my taste though, because I'm really digging this, especially the heavy guitar tones.
3: You took a big risk, but it might pay off, this is more fun than I remembered.
4: A lot of really cool elements individually, but I'm not sure they all quite come together.
5: This feels like cheating, but like 425, I encourage cheating.
6: This might be the most impressive blending of some of the unique features of my two songs, but it also goes beyond them in other ways.
7: 24 hours after listening, I couldn't remember a note of it. After the second play, I had the chorus stuck in my head the next day. Go figure.
8: I really want to just replay this one again and skip the rest of my listening for the night. I love the enchanting vocals, and what tasty drum and cymbal tones.
9: A bold salvo, we'll see if it was worth it.
10: There is a lot of interest going on instrumentally, but I think the vocals are going to sink this one.
11: I was worried this might be the lowest scoring one of the round yet in the first minute or two, but it won me over by the end.
12: In a vacuum I should love this, especially with some of the more unique elements, but it's not standing out as much as I'd like it to.
13: I'm so glad you've brought this band back to my attention. Sick bass tone, and what a vocalist.
14: The guitars really carry this one, but I'm not sure it'll be quite enough.
15: You've found a golden loophole. Bravo!
16: I could see this band having other songs I would like more than this one.
17: Not quite what I thought they'd sound like. An intoxicating cinematic and moody vibe, but I'm not sure I'm into the vocalist.
18: What an inauspicious beginning, which turned out to be prophetic initially, because I couldn't remember a thing about it the next day. Maybe it'll grow on me though.
19: Heavier than I expected, and with some cool synths, this seems promising.
