6. Faizoff-Lamb Of God Oof, the vocals.

8. Lithojazzosphere-Deliverance Old school and chunky!

9. Romdrums-Revocation This is riffalicious.

11. Twosuitsluke-Ghost This was surprisingly quite enjoyable.

12. Soupytwist-Seven Spires This very pleasantly surprised me.

13. Kingshmegland-Extreme It’s not bad, but it’s kind of just there.

[soupytwist]

12?

[Tomislav95]

18?

[TAC]

12?

yeah, it's kind of a generic impression, but like I said earlier, that's how I felt about most of the songs.

18?

Yes

[twosuitsluke]

Sending Lamb of God is a bold move. I do love me some LoG though, not gonna lie. Faizoff, you should've sent Walk With Me in Hell though, that song fuckin' rules

Pleasantly surprised because Lithozzo tried to tank it

Yeah I know, I've sent LoG to TAC before, can't remember which one song and not in his wheelhouse. and yes Walk with me in Hell rules.

I know in roulettes we keep a score, and I also know people put a lot of work into trying to score well, but most importantly, roulettes to me are about fellowship and sharing. I appreciate getting a band like LoG, even if they may not "score well", because it forces me to dig in to at least one song of theirs and evaluate it fairly, instead of simply hearing a snippet and dismissing it. There's actually a lot about LoG to like.

This is me; I rarely finish in the top half of any of the roulettes I'm in, because I spend almost zero time - with a few exceptions, which usually fail spectacularly - trying to guess what the host will like, but rather, focusing on what the themes inspire in me, so I can share that.  Usually it's just as spectacular a fail, but once in a blue moon I send something that resonates and it makes it all worth while.

(Though for the life of me I can't believe Wild Horses didn't score an 11; Jimmy Bain and Brian Robertson for god's sake, with Neil Carter and Clive Edwards of UFO, and one of the songs co-written by Phil Lynott. I thought that was my finest hour in terms of "playing the game."   WTF?  HAHA )

That's kind of like saying that Wicked Lester should score an 11! Actually, you'd probably say that too.

I can read between the lines and I hear you loud and clear. I know who you're really talking about, and don't worry, they're releasing a new album just in time for the current events round.

Depends on the song; the early version of "She" is killer. : )

Dokken may not be banned, but the fact that they aren't probably says something about his opinion of them.

One of my least favorite Kiss songs, of course.

Yeah, no shit!

If someone sent Dokken, it would depend on the song if it gets banned or not. Obviously, I know quite a bit of their stuff, and saw them a bunch of times between 1986 and 1995.


Generally, I find them a tad unsatisfying. Not sure if it was their production or not, but there's just something missing with them.

[romdrums]

So I think mine would have to be 5 or 9. Big brain guesses, I know!

[Lethean]

Wow that's really promising.  Especially for a song so unmemorable the first time around that you forgot to ban it.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

It scored really well the first time around 

[TAC]

So I pretty much scratched out the writeups.

Gonna spend the rest of the afternoon trying to stack these.


I might have Sister Song comparisons later today, but that's if I'm really comfortable with my Stack.


EDIT: The Stack went pretty easily. I have a 10, but have to decide between four songs for the three 9's.
Everyone else is set.

[Glasser]

As far as the current events round can it be just a new song that lets say someone is going through or battling at this time? I'm not a politics dude nor do I follow pop culture. ....

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

It's just any song that was released this year.

It's just any song released this year mate, no theme required.

Excellent album!

I added All Against. I remember listening and commenting on that album after my surgery. Partnered great with my Tramadol.

Check that out if anyone wants to hear some  angry heavy metal
