Well, I have Stadler's EP now. Two songs on it are banned, so I'm not counting them towards the score, but they kind of hold the theme together, so I'll leave them in hangman and the tracklist for fun and listen to them with the rest for flavor anyway. And I'll pre-solve his impressions and add them to the end. You'll find out his EP title when I post part 1 of hangman in the near future.
Round 14 Early Impressions:
1: This has one of the best Christmas songs I've ever heard.
2: Crow - This is what happens when the promoters screw up and book the Ringling Brothers and the local death metal act for the same venue at the same time.
3: Lethean - O I C what U did there.
4: Sacul - This is Goldilox the EP. One third is too weird, one third is too bland, and the other third is just right.
5: Puppies_On_Acid - This is definitely slickly edited, maybe almost too much?
6: Wow, this is a treat. It's a version of a genre I love, but haven't received all roulette.
7: This might be the best batch of songs, but with the least comprehensible flow.
8: There is a style that was hinted at here but never really appeared, but in retrospect it probably wasn't necessary anyway.
9: Am I in an early 2010s Apple commercial?
10: This is still lacking melodically in spots, but there's more in other sections, and enough cool stuff going on that it might work.
11: Buddyhunter1 - I'm surprised at how well you can feel the storytelling here, even in the instrumental portions.
12: Tomislav95 - I think I'm unlikely to love this style as a whole, but this is a better selection of songs in it than I was expecting.
13: This makes me want to make a kind of music that I don't think exists.
14: Much of this is adjacent to the type of music I've been getting into the most in the past few years.
15: TAC - Getting the right vibe with this approach is a tricky endeavor, but this does better than I worried it might.
16: ariich - This dances around the edges of the sounds I like, and that's probably good enough.
17: Sacul - One song in particular stands out in unique ways, though the useage of samples makes me curious to hear how different it is from the source(s).
18: Buddyhunter1 - This 80s virtual reality dating app is so realistic!
19: Crow - There are elements I like here, but the overall package might be a bit much.
20: ariich - One song sounds like part of a holy grail long lost Disney musical that there have only been whispers regarding.
21: Here we have more bands and songs that I probably should know well enough to ban, but I don't.
22: Lethean - It feels like this ends rather abruptly, which is a little frustrating, but the journey was epic enough otherwise that I can only complain so much.
23: This has some really tasty and crisp drumming.
24: HOF - I love the stylistic textures of much of these songs, the question is going to be if the melodies and vocalists stand out.
25: Nachtmerrie - A lot of this is in a style or two of music adjacent to one I love, but which I tend to neglect exploring, so this is useful as a foothold to look into these artists further.
26: twosuitsluke - This has a surprisingly cinematic feel, like moving through different scenes meeting various characters in a variety of settings.
27: soupytwist - I'm not sure these styles normally live in the same area of town, but your theme makes it work well enough, I suppose.
28: SoundscapeMN - This has some of the most fascinating instrumental parts of the round, though some of the vocals are kind of odd.
29: senecadawg2 - The "ending" came out of nowhere, though I mind it less than I thought I would.
30: One track has one of the coolest openings I've heard in awhile.
31: Tomislav95 - The nice thing about my rating philosophy in general for this is that a couple good songs are more likely to pull the rating up a bit than a couple weaker songs are to drag it down.
32: TAC - I probably complain an uncomfortable amount about the keys songs are in, but possibly the best song is in one of my least favorite keys, which is the sign of a really good song.
33: Stadler - Even your initial tracklist submission was (unintentionally?) in character.
34: Stadler - This is a slightly different side of a number of artists than I'm used to hearing from them.
