Metro's Gourmet Roulette - AND THE WINNER IS...

[King Postwhore]

Correct on mine.

[lonestar]

Correct.

[jingle.boy]

2/2 with mine.  Shit, Metro's better at this than most of us!

Prediction ... Floor gets a 9/10; Marco 2/10 - blended score 5.5/10

[Sacul]

Yup, that's obviously me, and yeah, that's the right translation. I agree the outro on that song is just magical, gives me chills every time.

Curious to see the wine pairings

[twosuitsluke]

This will give mine away, but how can my band be too much? You like Dillinger Escape Plan don't you?

I do, in small doses. The song got better as it went on, as the band calmed the hell down.

[faizoff]

[TAC]

[HOF]

Hmmm. Don’t see my wine pairing in there at all.

[twosuitsluke]

Remember Me

How are we gonna forget you, you're always on here!

[Metro]

Hmmm. Don’t see my wine pairing in there at all.

Whoops, fixed that.

[TAC]

After Forever-Energize Me

[ProfessorPeart]

Wucan-Kill The King

are this and Stargazer Rainbow covers?

Wucan is most definitely not a cover. They have 2 covers in their releases. One is an excellent cover of Am I Evil and the other is a German track.

[ariich]

After Forever-Energize Me

Paired with Nightwish presumably.

I wonder what the other Moron Police song got paired with.

[romdrums]

Catching up, your guess is correct, Metro!

[jingle.boy]

After Forever-Energize Me

Paired with Nightwish presumably.

You presume correctly

[faizoff]

devnat onizhro - rain on open water
eearvd - its all happening on broadway
staovgu eictar - neptune?
ltso adnmio - silent cry

[Metro]

staovgu eictar - neptune?
ltso adnmio - silent cry

3/4 right. Neptune is incorrect.

[jingle.boy]

Advent Horizon

[Stadler]

Marillion - Afraid of Sunlight
I like H's voice the more I hear it. I love the Fish-era, but this era really is it's own thing, isn't it?

My Guess: Wildranger
Correct Sender: Stadler

Wait, WHAT? 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Marillion - Afraid of Sunlight

My Guess: Wildranger
Correct Sender: Stadler

The truth has been revealed!! Stadler is Wildranger! 


Wait, WHAT? 

[Metro]

But is he OBJECTIVELY Stadler?

[twosuitsluke]

Only a poll will be able to determine this for sure.

[Stadler]

Also correct that H era Marillion is it's own thing (and on the whole has a lot more to offer than the Fish era IMO, with H being the superior vocalist and a more universal lyricist as well).

He's the better vocalist, but... I have to think about the lyricist.   "Clutching..." is, as a whole, one of the greatest lyrical performances in my not-modest CD collection.  The wordplay, the symbology, the emotional resonance, there is some real art on that record.  The whole middle section of Warm Wet Circles is some of the best imagery I've ever heard EVER in a song.   Sometimes H veers into the sanctimonious for me, and there are too many lyrics that are sort of cynical cliches.

Fish for me is the indisputable master. Can't wait to see what his writing career brings.

[Metro]

I don’t talk much about Marillion, but Clutching at Straws is a top 15 album for me.

Fish has his moments of greatness for sure. But H has written things that connect with me far more deeply than anything Fish has written apart from maybe Sugar Mice. Stuff like Fantastic Place, Beyond You, House, Go, or more recent stuff like White Paper or Care or The Crow and the Nightengale. He just has a little more human sensitivity to him than Fish (who has a certain amount of vitriol in his lyrics that seems to reflect who he is as a person from what I can tell, not that H is a saint either).

[jingle.boy]

Lost Domain / Silent Cry.  Has to be Tim
(we are allowed to guess senders now, yes?)

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I was figuring we should hold off since he's the one guessing, but I suppose it's up to him. 

[jingle.boy]

I was figuring we should hold off since he's the one guessing, but I suppose it's up to him.

Well, he's made his guesses, and knows which song pairs with which.  So there isn't much mystery in the wine pairing once we start confirming who sent which dish.
