It's that bloody good?

Edit: Dammit Tim, just realised your comment was totally pun intended

Perhaps I padded it too much.

Oh, man  :lol

Here's mine, just a handful of songs that go from absolutey baked to ethereal bliss. I'll give the other EPs a try tomorrow.

Ploughing on through the EPs, currently on Litho’s. Personal ranking so far?..

1. Glasser
2. King
3. Buddy
4. Crow
5. Jingle
6. Evermind
7. Faizoff
8. HOF

As all the cool kids are doing it, here’s a link to my EP…

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4OWZT2vRfRs6w1hLIGk7fo?si=vjZKJ29gRGCaG8llpwwZYQ

This is actually the slightly tweaked EP, and not actually the one Rich is scoring. Basically Pizza Death released their latest album after I submitted my EP, but a song on the new album worked much better as the last song on the EP. It’s not going to make a great deal of difference to anyones overall enjoyment, but I prefer it  :lol

Lastly, Litho I’m currently listening to the At the Gates cover band, pretty good stuff.

Kudos to you for listening to all the EPs, I really should too, I did that for the very first roulette I participated in but haven't since then. Just overwhelmed with the amount and variance of music you guys listen to.

This first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff.

Not necessarily, just different. :lol

I still think that my EP makes more sense with the narrative I provided for ariich. We'll see how it scores I guess.

Yea I’m messing. It’s not lost on me that these EPs are aimed at Rich’s tastes not mine.

Also with you on the narrative enhancing the EP. My narrative takes mine from a solid 4/10 to a cool 4.3/10.

Lastly, Litho I’m currently listening to the At the Gates cover band, pretty good stuff.

Assuming you didn't look them up and you mean Nightrage, that's a really good guess!  The harsh vocals on that album actually are from Lindberg of At The Gates, so right on the mark.  And the drummer was in The Haunted with the Bjorler brothers of ATG, so he's also adjacent.  The Swedes make the best supergroups.  Same producer as In Flames' late 90s albums and sounds to me like what they could have sounded like if they kept on the same path rather than shifting directions in the 00s.  I'm guessing this could be what ariich picked up on too in his impression.

No I didn’t look them up, but I thought it must be a really good imitation as I’ve never heard of Nightrage. I’m quite surprised as At the Gates and The Haunted would both have albums in my top 100 (maybe 150). In the mid to late 00s I listened to The Haunted a LOT. I thought I was already pretty clued up with their side projects but obviously not. I’ll be checking this album out for sure  :tup

Dude, I’m right there with you. Want to compare notes?

Mine included drug filled pizza, battles with mythical creatures, basement shows, weapons made of guitars, love, betrayal, a character who is in no way based off a DTF member and of course… Pizza Death  :metal

Yeah adding Clémentine Delauney took them from being a somewhat forgettable symphonic act to a B tier one.

Yeah, they struck gold there.  Though I'd say it's more B+, with some A- or higher individual songs.
