Roulette Structure:
No player limit, but if we get way too many players, round 1 will become an elimination round to reduce the player count to something more reasonable (like, 12 or so I guess, we’ll see)

Eight rounds total – 7 normal rounds and an EP round to close things out.

One song per round, no strict length limit but please be reasonable. Generally the best-scoring songs sit in the 7 to 10 minute range for me, 15+ minute epics don’t tend to sit as well with me anyways.

Rules:
1. Send songs via PM. Highest preference is Spotify if available, then direct MP3 links, followed by YouTube or any other sharing site as a last resort
2. There is no limitation on how many people are allowed to send the same song or artist in a round.  If the same song is sent by multiple people, that’s fine. You’ll all get the same score.
3. I reserve the right to reject any song or artist not on the banlist, most likely because I either know the specific song or the band probably should be on my banlist (which I will update if so).
4. Please send for the next round within 48 hours after the last round’s results have been posted, barring any special exceptions for vacations or the final round.

Themes:
Round 1: Opening tracks (swap with Round 2 if we need to do prelims)
Round 2: Open Round
Round 3: Non-Rock/Metal
Round 4: Loud Music Round To Counteract Round 3
Round 5: Open Round
Round 6: Send Me Some Weird Stuff
Round 7: The 2023 Round Because It's Probably June By Now
Round 8: The Grand Finale (Closers, 20 minute maximum)

EP Round Rules:
At least three songs/artists minimum. 20 minute minimum length, 30 minute soft limit but if you’re like, a minute or two over it’s fine, just don’t push it. No story or theme is required but flow and cohesion will factor into the overall EP score. Probably going to score out of 15 points for the songs and 5 points for the flow.


I changed my mind, no EP round, don't have the time for it.

Scoring System:
Y'know what I'm just gonna reuse this graphic I put in my videos. Half-point scoring, any more granular than that would drive me insane.




Tastes:
Whoo boy this is where DTF is gonna struggle. I still listen to plenty of metal and metal-adjacent music, it’s like, my thing, but I’ve been increasingly picky about it in recent years because very little of it surprises me anymore.

I would say I’m a musical adventurer more than someone who tends to stick to any one sound for too long – I’m constantly in need of new sounds, new genres, otherwise I get bored fast. Like, I can’t argue with sheer quality when I see it, but unless you’re clearing that high bar in a genre I’m really saturated on, it’s probably not gonna stand out to me. On the flipside, something “new” or “interesting” that I haven’t heard before is more likely to leave a stronger first impression, which is what matters the most in a roulette, if you ask me.

And more than that, I like music that makes me feel. I crave emotions. I’m much, much less impressed by sheer, dry technicality that I was a decade ago, big, epic scope and strong emotional cores do way more for me than a three minute wank solo. To that extent, I need some melody in my music, man.

As far as metal goes, I like me some prog metal first and foremost, though my tastes trend towards the heavier stuff – less power-prog and more prog-death, basically. Not exclusively, but I tend to like it more. No djent. I’m preeeetty much saturated on atmospheric black metal so unless it’s like, top of the line, it’s probably topping out at like a 7/10 for me. Post-metal, symphonic metal, maybe death metal and black metal, not awful choices but not my faves. Power metal, folk metal, doom metal, classic heavy metal, not so much my thing. Thrash metal, sludge metal, nu-metal, please don’t.

My genre of choice in recent years has been stuff along the post-hardcore spectrum – emo and pop punk on the lighter end, screamo and some metalcore on the heavier end, though post-hardcore itself is my favorite. Also big into synthpop – less so other pop genres, but hyperpop and electropop can have their moments. Not so much into art pop or chamber pop. Rock and prog rock I don’t really actively seek out but bands with a cool, jazzy bent to them can catch my ear. Quieter, more atmospheric genres like post-rock, ambient, and drone I can enjoy as background music but probably aren’t gonna work in the context of a roulette. Uhh. What else. I like some country and rap but I’m very particular about it, so, probably not?

Not that I expect anyone here to listen through all of it, but here’s a short playlist compiling as much of my tastes as I can muster, both long-time favorites and recent obsessions. Just to give some ideas.

Enjoy the chaos.

Banned List:
Because my standard ban list is, frankly, absurd, I’m just going to follow the same rules as last time.

1. Any album I have rated on RateYourMusic is banned. Any artist I have rated 4 stars or higher on RYM is banned. My RYM page is here and you can search from there.
2. Any album I own that is not rated is also banned. See my collection lists, and on the off chance that I have missed rating something older than that in my collection, I will update my RYM page appropriately.
3. Any song or album that was sent in a previous roulette is banned. I have compiled a spreadsheet of every song and album I have been sent in a roulette here.
4. Any artist I have been sent 3 or more times in a roulette is also banned. If they’ve been sent three times and I still haven’t gotten into them, it’s probably a sign they’re just not for me. We’ll call this the Katatonia rule.
5. I reserve the right to ban anything not covered by the above lists if I’m familiar enough with it to the point where sending it to me feels redundant, I will let you know.

alright now that's all out of the way i'm gonna give y'all until like, monday to join and round 1 will start then

just a heads-up i'm targeting two weeks per round because i also need free time to work on videos for my youtube channel and i can't dedicate too too much time to this but rest-assured i will be doing my usual five-listens-then-writeup strategy so the songs will get the attention they deserve, just, not as fast as TAC  :corn

I'll either pass and just follow this along (which I'm leaning towards right now) or join and send who knows what.

If you haven't heard from me come Monday, just assume I decided to pass. :lol

Ok, so it looks like I've at least made the prelim before the prelim.   :biggrin:

We seem to have the most opposite taste of anyone on the forum, but this should be a fun challenge to try and figure
out the pockets where we overlap.  My tentative list of candidates I've been working on for some of them just sort of reverses the traits of what I normally like, that I just happen to love anyway in spite of that.   :corn

Would a prelim really be needed for a single-song roulette? The last two rounds will be longer, so if you do get a lot of people sign up, an alternative could be to have eliminations after round 6 to bring the number down for those rounds.

I'm trying to get a draft outline of possibilities for each round from my master list, and plugging things in, moving them around, and getting them to fit feels kind of like solving trigonometric identities all over again.   :lol
