Guess I should post my comments, rankings, scores etc. now
1st: Dark All Day by Gunship - 9.5/10I mean if you're gonna call this the best song of the entire roulette I'm not gonna disagree? I probably like Kitsune off their debut slightly more but this song's still incredible, so.
2nd: Another Sky by Dissona - 8/10See, it's funny because I'm pretty sure I introduced this band to DTF way back in 2016 after seeing them in concert, so it's like I get two songs here
This is honestly still pretty cool and wild prog metal even nowadays though.
3rd: Despair by Rannoch - 8/10I don't know if I'm directly responsible for this one too but I did post about these guys before anyone else on DTF did, at the very least
Anyways this is probably my least fave of the four full tracks on this album, oops! Still good though.
4th: The Keeper by Bonobo - 7.5/10Pretty cool, dark atmospheric vibes. Kinda took a while to get going but it was pleasant the whole way through and did kinda pop off towards the end, just has a neat sound the whole way through.
5th: Skuggsja by Skuggsja - 7.5/10Got this one in a roulette many years ago myself, it takes its time getting going but it's really cool when it does get going, even if the style will never 100% be my thing I still like it nowadays more than I expected to.
6th: As All Must Come to Pass by Shylmagoghnar - 7.5/10I spun this album a good few times back when it dropped and I remember liking it but finding it a bit… much. Overindulgent? Still pretty much true but hey at least it's a sound I like!
7th: Death Drop by Blanck Mass - 7.5/10Lot of really cool sounds here, potentially, but some of the mixing & muddy sounds don't quite do it for me? It's like electronic black metal, including the weird production choices I don't always like. Still dug it though.
8th: The News by Paramore - 7/10Paramore are a band I've never fully got but this is a pretty cool tune, yeah. Bit of an edge to it, the lyrics describing our existential nightmare pretty succinctly, just a solid tune all aroun. Wouldn't say I loved it, but, cool, yeah.
9th: Superstar by Carpenters - 7/10Karen Carpenter has a lovely voice but I've never loved this group's music - however this does have a lot more going for it compositionally and isn't as saccharine sweet as I'm used to. Think I've heard it before somewhere.
10th: Slow Seas by Black Peaks - 7/10This album was such a disappointment and a step down from their debut and I'm still not completely over it. This is… solid but it lacks the edge and energy that made that debut cool. And also there's no real strong hook either.
11th: Ice to Never by The Black Queen - 7/10I liked this, but it's a bit… too faithful of an 80's pop pastiche, both in terms of the really blocky sounding percussion I've never loved and the overly cluttered moments where way too much is happening at once, but it's a fun tune so ehh.
12th: Congeniality by Ornette Coleman - 7/10This gets kinda Seinfelded for me in that I'm sure it was innovative and fresh at the time but over 60 years later I've heard a lotta jazz in this lane to the point where this doesn't stand out and it's hard to to appreciate the nuances of it. Still fun though.
13th: A Night and a Day by Pepe Deluxe - 7/10Not… completely sure what to do with this one honestly? For as many slightly off-kilter elements as it had it felt surprisingly normal, but it was at least a solid enough tune that I enjoyed it.
14th: Vipassana by Yaatri - 6.5/10Well this is pleasant but like, nothing about it really stood out to me. It's like, Sonic Adventure 2 Rouge The Bat Stage Music. It gets a little neat towards the end, I guess?
15th: Eris (To the Fairiest One) by Circus of Fools - 6.5/10Some primo beauty-and-the-beast-core that does not stand out in any way and I have nothing to say about it. It was fine.
16th: Demon Kitty Rag by Katzenjammer - 6/10This brand of… swing? Ragtime? Cabaret?? I dunno, will never be my thing. It's a bouncy tune but nothing about it appeals to what I'm looking for in music. Nothing wrong with it though, I guess.
17th: Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You by Joan Baez - 6/10Uuugh, she puts waaaay too much vibrato in her singing - it takes talent to do, I'm sure, but it does not sound great! Otherwise this is. Fine. Minimal folk is very hit or miss for me.
18th: The Bonny Swans by Loreena McKennitt - 5/10Congrats on finding a sound I enjoy even less than ragtime and minimal folk? This sounds like goddamn christian music. It's seven minutes long. I only listened to about half of it before skimming the rest, which does not change even a tiny bit uuugh. No thanks.
