ariich's DARK TO LIGHT roulette (v8) - Post-roulette updates (ongoing)

[ariich]

RJ and Tim, all wrong.

[jingle.boy]

I'll take a crack with 9, or 12.

[faizoff]

7 or 10?

[nick_z]

Is mine 6?

6. Well, it’s punchy and epic and the gothic style is vibing well - let’s see how well the melodic hooks settle in with subsequent listens.

[lonestar]

2 or 9?

[HOF]

22, but if not then 7.

[ariich]

I'll take a crack with 9, or 12.

Neither.

7 or 10?

Yep, 10.

Is mine 6?

6. Well, it’s punchy and epic and the gothic style is vibing well - let’s see how well the melodic hooks settle in with subsequent listens.

No, but not a million miles away.

2 or 9?

No, but you're in the right vicinity.

22, but if not then 7.

7 indeed.

No, but not a million miles away.

Hm...maybe 24, then?

24. Moody, punchy, good hooks - sounds like a safe but solid start.

[romdrums]

Ideally, it's 1,5 or 6, but realistically, I think it's 18.

[TAC]

5, 6, or 8??

[ariich]

5, 6, or 8??

Yep, you guessed each other's previously which was why I gave you both the same response.

Ideally, it's 1,5 or 6, but realistically, I think it's 18.

Realistically, yes.


This seems like a good time to remind everyone that these were initial reflections written immediately after the first listen (the clue is in the name), and may only partially reflect where my opinion ends up after further listens.

[lonestar]

3?

[TAC]

I think the melodic hooks will definitely settle in. They’ll be stuck in your head for sure. 

[ariich]

3?

Indeed.

By the way, first impressions posts will always be linked in the OP (as will comparisons and results posts) if you want to get back to it quickly once it falls off the current page.

[ReaperKK]

Hrmm I'm stumped, 17 maybe?

[Lonk]

15? maybe 14?

[ariich]

Hrmm I'm stumped, 17 maybe?

Not that stumped, evidently!

[ariich]

15? maybe 14?

Neither.

[TAC]

Rich, can you link the playlist, please?

[ariich]

Rich, can you link the playlist, please?

It's 24 separate playlists.

[Evermind]

4 or 9?

[lonestar]

3?

Indeed.

That actually makes me a little more cozy with my Rd 4 choice.

[Lonk]

Could be #9 I guess, maybe.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

1. This immediately ticks a lot of boxes for me - grand, rich and melancholy.

12. Lush and immersive, I can totally see why you sent me this.

Hoping for one of these. 

[TAC]

Rich, can you link the playlist, please?

It's 24 separate playlists.

Gotcha. I wasn't sure if you combined them into one or a few playlists.

[twosuitsluke]

Any chance of updated guesses on this page? Pretty please 🙏

What the hell, I can chuck everything onto a public playlist each round once hangman is complete. I'll do the first round 1 shortly.

4 or 9?

Nope.

Yes and yes!

[TAC]

Rich, not necessary.  Please don't do any extra work. For me, at least, when I did the multiple song rounds, I still combined them into 2 or 3 different playlists. One playlist with everything was too big for me to handle.

I can listen to the songs I want to listen to on my own. No worries.

[Glasser]

Round 2 sent!

Only took a few minutes of dragging and dropping, really not much hassle. However a few of the songs (all 3 Black Sabbath and the last Once Human) are not available on Spotify (in the UK at least) so it's my local mp3 files in the playlist. So you'll need to find those yourselves on Youtube or whatever.

Here's the round 1 playlist, all 7 hours of it: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6gFvYt9J1cGfui6BboijDq?si=890205abeeff4204

Thanks Rich. I know the Sabbath material already anyway.

[jingle.boy]

From what's left, I'd like it to be 5 or 8 (cuz I only sent 2 songs), but my gut says it's 19 (I'm nothing if predictable).

[nick_z]

 

I should've thought of Draconian...From some reason I thought Ariich was already familiar with them and I didn't check on RYM. Some real nice picks too, Litho!
