ariich just isn't into skilled acoustic guitar players noodling I guess.
Although that said, the Rik Emmett acoustic guitar track was one of my favourites from that submission, so who knows what I like.
Soupy too. We’re crushing it if not for the damned “Light” round.
Yeah I found it funny that you all stayed in joint 10th place by getting an identical score last round, but hadn't appreciated that you've all had a really similar score profile throughout with a weaker round 2.
seneca – Dan Swanö
1. Sun of the Night
2. Uncreation
3. Add Reality
First impression: Well, this feels like a pretty big oversight on my part - the limited amount of clean vocals is kind of surprising for how melodic most of the music is, but it’s a great sound anyway.
Final opinion: There's not been any particular reason that I've not checked out Swanö's solo album before. He just has so many different projects that I don't think I even knew he'd done one. But of those I've heard, the ones I really like a lot are Nightingale and Witherscape, and this sounds like a fantastic marrying of the two styles...Really great stuff!
Score: 8.6
Now, see, this is why I called you out in Tomi's on this.
In fairness, none of Swano's other projects are nearly as good as Nightingale or Witherscape IMO.
The Moontower project is one of them, and there are arguably others as well. Shame as these could have been my points as I'd probably have picked those same three songs, but if I'm gonna lose, doing it to Dan is an honor.
All very fair, I retract that statement on the basis of clearly not hearing enough of his projects. If others are along the lines of these three and less like Edge of Sanity then that sounds promising! There was at least one other I heard a bit of but don't think I ever rated an album from, but I can't remember what it was or why I wasn't keen on it.
Anyway thanks for so many quick submissions already!
