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

[twosuitsluke]

Of course you like the little harp interludes more than Pizza Death 

Gotta tell you, the fact you included harp interludes cracked me up 

Had too keep up with Glasser’s level of ridiculousness now didn’t I.

Not even close.

 

Was I at least second most ridiculous?

[TAC]

Yeah, and that was before the EP round.

Probably, yeah, with soupy in relatively normal third place.

Nice. I’ll take it.

Looking forward to hearing Glasser’s EP. In the future, when he’s running his own roulettes, we’ll look back and realise this is basically his ‘roulette origins story’

Awe man. I love Xerosync - Now I See You.

[ariich]

Seriously, unravel was your least favorite? I fucking love that song.

Awe man. I love Xerosync - Now I See You.

Presumably you guys would have said this regardless of which one was my least favourite. Something has to come at the bottom!

I get that.. I just really thought unravel would be at the top. I actually thought the Lilith tracks would end up low, maybe I underestimated your love for djent

[jingle.boy]

I’m completely ok with the my best and least best songs.

[Crow]

fwiw my ranking of my EP goes 2 < 1 < 3 < 4 <5 but i love them all, so  all 9's except maybe the zach bryan song which is a high 8.5. and car seat headrest which is a 9.5

I don't have anything fundamentally for or against djent, it's just a style of riffing that can be boring or can be awesome depending on how it's used, like any style really.

[Crow]

...modern haken has waaaay too much djent influence for me to handle so it's funny hearing that coming from you

He stabeth at our hearts then walks over our corpses whiths mocking us.

Evidently I like how they use the influence. When they use it anyway, which was a fair bit on Vector and Virus but not that much otherwise. I don't see it as something you could have too much or too little of, any more than any other style of riffing.

[wolfking]

Surprised at Septicflesh being the fav but that song is indeed a banger.  Not surprised at Obscura being least fav, those vocals are something else.  I love them though haha.

[Crow]

Least favourite: Pizza Death - Pizza Death

also i just noticed this 

[Glasser]

Extra points to Tom for his creativeness. 

Thanks Kade! Check out my songs plus bonus tracks. 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Not really surprised by your take on the top and bottom tracks of my EP. I will admit Esoteric is an acquired taste. I love their sound. I just hope they didn't tank my score too bad.

[Glasser]

Extra points to Tom for his creativeness. 

He's going to need them.

When I mistakenly thought his EP wasn't long enough, he did send two more tracks, which I had to treat as "bonus tracks" because he would have ended up with too many artists if I'd included them. They were:

Steel Panther - She's On The Rag
Incinerating Prophecies - Bloody Pussy

My ep should give me the win.

[twosuitsluke]

Right, I’m diving into the playlist, wish me luck!

Frustratingly some of the songs are unavailable for me, but I’ll give it a good go anyway!

Edit: 2 songs in and yes, Blood of the Past is every bit as good as I remember it

I’ll check it. Turns out I’ve listened to this Sungazer album as well.

Edit: I’m going to try and rank the EPs (if I make it through them all). After listening to one, Buddy is in the lead

Edit 2: just finished Crow’s. Petition to have this as your new avatar Crow…

you're gonna love the king gizzard country album dropping in 2025,  then

I mean, they do already have Eyes Like the Sky, but yea 

[ariich]

Glad to see Reaper and Luke listening to the whole lot, I think I'll delegate my write ups to you guys.

Yeah we're both in the UK so those will be ones that are either not on Spotify at all (2 tracks) or not available in the UK (1 track). The other 147 tracks should all be fine.

[twosuitsluke]

Pack it up boys, I just finished listening to Glasser’s EP. No point even listening to the other EPs 

Congrats Glasser.

[TAC]

It's that bloody good?

[twosuitsluke]

It's that bloody good?

Is it the best music I’ve ever heard in my life? No. Is it a fun EP that has a ridiculous theme? You bloody betcha. You gotta respect an EP that can go from Black Flag to Dolly Parton.

I’ll rank the EPs I’ve got to so far…

1. Glasser
2. Buddy
3. Crow
4. Evermind
5. Faizoff

Maybe it’s more that the other EPs haven’t totally been up my street so far though.

Perhaps I padded it too much.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Since everyone else is doing it, here's mine.  It's the most cinematic melodeath album you'll ever hear, and plays on the juxtaposition of opposites, like both melodeath and this roulette itself do.

[Buddyhunter1]

Here's the properly-edited version of mine. Mostly electronic jazz, TAC stay out.
