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

[Crow]

my EP is absolutely stacked imo, so i don't expect a lower score than 8.2 at any point now 

[ariich]

my EP is absolutely stacked imo, so i don't expect a lower score than 8.2 at any point now 

You, Evermind and TAC have all scored 8.2 or higher in every round so far.

You absolute roulette beasts.

[Crow]

yeah evermind's sheer consistency is especially funny
literally all 8.2-8.4's 

[TAC]

You absolute roulette beasts.

And I'm still gonna lose.

I'm in a similar spot in all three roulettes.

Curse you gravity!

Wanna trade spots?

[lonestar]

And I just keep climbing...good thing I saved my best band for the EP round

Yeah I can't work out if it's total chance or if you've just been saving your better stuff for later rounds.

On the flipside, Buddy managed to accidentally get a ^ finally.

Buddy just had to fuck it up, didn't he lol

I kind of planned it that way actually, I knew Saiseiga would be the iffiest, and Band Maid you had already rated 3.5 on RYM, but I thought maybe the simpleness of the acoustic would hit a note. I had a feeling TRiDENT would do well, they're such a high paced, fun group. Looking forward to the write up.

A handful of these feel like they could still move a fair bit on final listens!

Hopefully back up.

Well I’ll take comfort in the fact you are now a fan of It’s Always Sunny.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I think he still might not know what it is and is just a fan of Paddy's Irish Pub. 

[TAC]

I have never seen a minute of the show, nor do I ever intend to. 

[twosuitsluke]

I have never seen a minute of the show, nor do I ever intend to. 

I’ll be sending exclusively Charlie Day in all future TAC roulettes.

[TAC]

Who's Charlie Day?

[twosuitsluke]

Who's Charlie Day?

The guy you just…

Basically, you’ll find out. He’s Night Man, Fighter of the Day Man.

After a hopeful climb to third spot, I'm ready for the inevitable decline 

Who's Charlie Day?

The guy in the gif you posted

So...his name is Day, but he's the Night man?

Sneak peak of TAC’s next roulette.

Sneak peak of TAC’s next roulette.

Sneak Peak at Luke's score..

Right, this sure is a swing and a miss, innit?  And the only two I’ve had to call early because I just, cannot, sit through this one more than three one times, my dude. It’s just…

Okay, well, I’m not sure it was wise to send a song with so much… … it’s unpleasant

SPEAKING OF UNPLEASANT. Yeah, uhh, . I am very viscerally uncomfortable just listening to this. I will never like content like this and there’s no use trying to get me to like it.

I uhh. … yeah, this is a hell of a misstep, sorry

4/10

Ha! Yea, no need to keep that bottom spot warm for me, I’ll be there from the start.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I'm in a similar spot in all three roulettes.

You are 6th in ariich's, 6th in Crow's, and 4th in mine.  If I drop you two spots next round you will be "Six!  Six Six! The Number of the Beast!"

[LithoJazzoSphere]

she can't keep getting away with it 

Ok, I can't figure this one out.  Who are you referring to?

[Buddyhunter1]

On the flipside, Buddy managed to accidentally get a ^ finally.

Why would I get a ^ accidentally?

Anyways looks like Crow and I are both getting 8.2s this round

[Evermind]

yeah evermind's sheer consistency is especially funny
literally all 8.2-8.4's 

And apparently another 8.3 is on the way

[jingle.boy]

I'm rather pleased/surprised to be getting a raise.

Just deciding on my final song for the EP.

[wolfking]

Got nothing for an EP.  Do we get pinged if there's a lack of theme or story?  I may end up throwing 5 random songs together.  Not much time lately to put any thought into it at the moment unfortunately.

8.6 incoming...

No need for a narrative or even a theme, but there is a flow score in addition to music quality, and sometimes that can help a bit with flow. But last time some of the best flowing EPs didn't have any particular lyrical theme, just songs that fit and flowed really well together.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Listening through the round playlist, The Microphones are surprisingly interesting from an arrangement and melody standpoint, but I wish they would tune the instruments and knock off the noisy production. 

[Sacul]

But that would result in a completely different sound and atmosphere, and the arrangements and melodies wouldn't work nearly as well . It's essential to the album, not just a "fancy effect" on top.

Okay sweet.  That will make things a bit easier to slap something together.  Looking for a theme a lot of the time can really hurt the quality I feel if options are limited.

[HOF]

You’re probably getting a mashup of the two artists I wanted to send before but wasn’t able to.

Hmm, for me it's more like trying to eat a chocolate cake, but someone just squirted mustard all over it.
