Crow's Overdue Roulette v8 - FINAL RESULTS!!!

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Never heard of Ram-Zet.

The funny thing is that you remember a comment I made in my writeup for Buddy on Chapel of Disease a few rounds ago, but completely missed me specifically referencing Ram-Zet in my writeup for your Dreamgrave entry last round.

Never heard of Ram-Zet.

The funny thing is that you remember a comment I made in my writeup for Buddy on Chapel of Disease a few rounds ago, but completely missed me specifically referencing Ram-Zet in my writeup for your Dreamgrave entry last round.   

Well, it's not that I remembered Buddy's review. It's just that I called it up on Spotify, and then I thought it sounded familiar from your roulette, so I was just trying to figure out who sent it. I had it playing when I did that, and decided to read some of your thoughts on it. I thought your description was dead on.

And as far as Ram-Zet, I can't say I read 100% of all of the reviews of my songs  but if I did, and I think I did, the Ram-Zet reference would've went right over my head and instantly forgotten.

I should reread it and see what the heck you were talking about.

Round 1 First Impressions!

Puppies: See, this is why I asked people not to send djent.

2. Not -quite- what I expected from this artist, but it's at least up to their quality standard!

3. Maybe not quite my taste, and a touch long for what it is, but fun enough to make up for that.

4. Dude this frickin' rips, why did nobody tell me about this?

Luke: Pretty dang close to what I tend to look for in this genre, but the vocals might be a sticking point.

TAC: I don't know how you always manage to whip out these obscure bands nobody's ever heard of who never blow me away but always manage to clear most everything else sent in a round.

7. As far as the more straightforward rock songs in this round go, this is one of the groovier and more exciting ones.

8. Much fuller sound and a more adventurous spirit than what I've heard from these guys before.

9. I'm left wanting a little bit more than I got out of this, but there a lot of moments that caught my ear and room for it to grow on me, so.

Lonestar: Feels like a cool intro to a song that never quite starts.

11. Very hit or miss band for me and this is closer to a miss but it's mostly just… unremarkable.

12. This tickles at a lot of different parts of my prog brain but the vocals are… really strangely underweight.

Faizoff: This was better that I was expecting, admittedly, but it's still leaving me a bit cold.

14. It's got really lovely atmosphere and vocals but I wish the melodies were more pronounced.

15. Feels more like an overture rather than a proper song, but it's an overture made up of pretty good parts, so.

16. This started out completely different from what I expected given the artist behind it, then it turned into exactly what I expected soon after.

i was supposed to post this yesterday oops. well anyways.

5. Pretty dang close to what I tend to look for in this genre, but the vocals might be a sticking point.

6. I don't know how you always manage to whip out these obscure bands nobody's ever heard of who never blow me away but always manage to clear most everything else sent in a round.

Well, my song does indeed frickin' rip. 

[Crow]

close enough 

i swear i wrote that impression before this post 

TAC is the artist that hasn't been guessed yet. Probably some super unknown but somewhat decent metal / prog band with one album and less than 30 monthly listeners on Spotify.

[Lonk]

3 or 4?

[TAC]

 


It does rip though!


Any chance you could link the playlist?

[faizoff]

11. Very hit or miss band for me and this is closer to a miss but it's mostly just… unremarkable.

From the feedback in the thread I'm guessing this is where I land?

[King Postwhore]

3. Maybe not quite my taste, and a touch long for what it is, but fun enough to make up for that.


14.It's got really lovely atmosphere and vocals but I wish the melodies were more pronounced

[Crow]

updated the impression post with the round playlist. all other guesses so far are wrong 

[faizoff]

13.?

[Crow]

yeahp, for better or worse

[twosuitsluke]

5 probably

[TAC]

Luke: Pretty dang close to what I tend to look for in this genre, but the vocals might be a sticking point.

The cleans or the harshes, which are the sticking point? I figured this would be right up your alley.

[lonestar]

10?

[TAC]

10?

I was thinking 11 or 12 for Marillion, actually.

[King Postwhore]

I should have seen this one.

16. This started out completely different from what I expected given the artist behind it, then it turned into exactly what I expected soon after.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

1, 10, or 11 

[Crow]

updated above!

[lonestar]

So it's funny, I picked that one cause it's actually the first part of a three song trilogy that opens a concept album

[senecadawg2]

I'll (optimistically) claim 4

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

So I don't really consider Invent Animate a Djent band. They have some of those sounds, but they are more metalcore/post-hardcore.

Although, in hindsight, I wish I had picked a different band to send for round 1. I must have been out of my mind when I decided to send that 

[Lonk]

9 or 15 then

[HOF]

This one?

8. Much fuller sound and a more adventurous spirit than what I've heard from these guys before.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

4. Dude this frickin' rips, why did nobody tell me about this?

This one would sure be nice, but I think someone would need to check the ground temperature in Hell, Michigan first. 

9. I'm left wanting a little bit more than I got out of this, but there a lot of moments that caught my ear and room for it to grow on me, so.

So maybe it's this one?

14. It's got really lovely atmosphere and vocals but I wish the melodies were more pronounced.

And I wonder if this is Wolfe/ERR. 

[Sacul]

8?

[ariich]

Perhaps one of:

2. Not -quite- what I expected from this artist, but it's at least up to their quality standard!

3. Maybe not quite my taste, and a touch long for what it is, but fun enough to make up for that.

8. Much fuller sound and a more adventurous spirit than what I've heard from these guys before.

Luke: Pretty dang close to what I tend to look for in this genre, but the vocals might be a sticking point.

The cleans or the harshes, which are the sticking point? I figured this would be right up your alley.

I'm honestly surprised this band wasn't banned, either because Crow likes them or dislikes them. I'm feeling confident, which is obviously never a good sign 

[senecadawg2]

14. It's got really lovely atmosphere and vocals but I wish the melodies were more pronounced.

And I wonder if this is Wolfe/ERR.

Me too, I just didn't want to admit it

[Stadler]

Me:   16. This started out completely different from what I expected given the artist behind it, then it turned into exactly what I expected soon after.

updated with all correct guesses 

[Tomislav95]

4 for sure. Even if it is not it is in my head

[King Postwhore]

8. Much fuller sound and a more adventurous spirit than what I've heard from these guys before.

[HOF]

Maybe 3?

[lonestar]

In the weird round, are there bonus points for sending the weirdest stuff?
