[senecadawg2]

I know how you feel Scorp. The Biscuit works in mysterious ways. Mysterious and, quite often, nonsensical ways.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

I've received 6 of the 8 submissions. Still waiting on king and Elite

[King Postwhore]

Sorry!  Been a little busy.  I'll send tonight!

[FlyingBIZKIT]

No rush! I haven't listened to any yet, busy week!

[King Postwhore]

No Rush?!


Sent!

[Crow]

Rush -is- on the banned list, so yeah.

[King Postwhore]

Right over you head, eh?!

[Crow]

Hmm? Pretty sure I got the joke :V

[King Postwhore]

Yeah...... Not. 


That's ok. I have many senior moments. 

[Sacul]

So, when can we expect results?

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Unfortunately, I have decided to leave the forum.



So expect results tomorrow night or so.

[Crow]

no one expects the spanish results inquisition

that's bad enough that I prob should leave the forums tbh

[black_biff_stadler]

It's now night time in Europe. Thanks for lying to our EU members.

[Sacul]

And in Latin America now .

Y'all are some fucking impatient ass people. My god.


Jk. Here we go.


Round 3 Results:

#8(1 Point): black_floyd – "Insect" – Spiral Architect

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get into anything by this band. This isn't terrible, I'd still give it a 6/10. It just feels kinda disjointed to me, and I'm not too big on the vocalist. They are damn good at their instruments though. I see why you like this album so much, I just wish I could as well. Thanks for the song though!

#7(2 Points): kingshmegland – "The Caudal Lure" – Karnivool

This has been a very tough round to rank, and this is a very good song, I just happened to like 6 more songs better. I'm still gonna try and get into this band, this song was rocking, I liked it a lot. Don't know if you've listened to Chevelle at all, but it kinda reminded me of a more progressive version of them, which I think is cool. Nice riffs and the vocalist is good. Cool song!

#6(3 Points): Sacul – "Building Steam with a Grain of Salt" - DJ Shadow

Cool song, I feel like I've heard this before, especially the piano melody that is played throughout. So far I'm liking the variety you've sent me, you've done well Sacul. Unfortunately I wasn't able to rank this any higher. But I like how laid back it feels and the funky section in the middle is too cool. Plus, I always thought the use of samples in songs was a neat thing, and it really works well with this one. Nice!

#5(4 Points): Nekov – "Heaven Alive" – Oceansize

I've never listened to them, but I've heard their name tossed around quite a few times on the forum. Is this that band that Zantera is in love with? That might be where I heard them from. I like it, this band plays really tight and this song is kickass. Everything about this song is awesome, especially the vocals. I'll be sure to check more of them out, I bet they have a lot of other great material. Thanks for the rec!

#4(5 Points): Scorpion – "Death is the Road to Awe" – Clint Mansell (The Fountain)

Beautiful! You knew something like this would rank pretty high on here, but why is it not at the top? Because you're Scorpion, and that's not allowed. Just kidding, there was just a lot of tough ass competition this round, but this is a beautiful track. Seneca actually sent me this about a year ago, so good job on this one. I feel like this would have ranked higher on another round, but 5 points ain't so bad. I also need to see this movie, I hear it's great. There's a ton of emotion in this piece, it's epic!

#3(6 Points): senecadawg2 – "Slow Show" – The National

Now I know why my friend Cody loves this band so much! This song was so beautiful. These last 3 ranks were so hard to figure out, it was almost a tie between this one and the next two. As much as I like the low nearly monotonous vocals, the guitar playing in this song is great. I adore the melody and this song puts me in a really good mood. Can't wait to hear more.

#2(7 Points): Parama – "City Has No Empathy (Your Sentimental Lie)" - Caligula's Horse

What a badass song. Seriously. The chorus is perfect. I love the breakdown near the end. Fuck this city. That is all.


#1(8 Points): Elite – "Where Everything's Perfect" – Jolly

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! The children know what's up. This song is my favorite of Round 3, and it was close. Very unique and original. Out of all the songs, I listened to this one over and over. I couldn't get enough of it, and it's awesome. Haunting and cheerful at the same time, something like that is pretty hard to pull off. It's funny I typed in Jolly on Spotify and some Spanish dude or something of the like showed up, and it was like some trance pop shit

OMG STOP SENDING IN OCEANSIZE SONGS THAT AREN'T AT LEAST 9/10

also re: Karnivool, I've been listening to that album a bit and it's alright but I don't remember The Caudal Lure at all. Set Fire to the Hive is probably my favorite, that's a great song

anyways sending song thing now

EDIT: BTW you got the song/artist wrong on the results, the artist is Caligula's Horse and the song name is The City Has No Empathy (Your Sentimental Lie)

[Sacul]

I can live up with this . Glad you like it - that album is one of the most creative things I've ever heard, so be sure to give it a spin after this roulette .

Edit: Sent.

[King Postwhore]

Scorpion you're a sly sonofabitch     

Some great songs everyone!  I'll send tonight!

[Nekov]

Well, I would rate Heaven Alive 9/10, one of my favorite songs from them..


Sent

[King Postwhore]

Sent!

[Nekov]

So... when can we expect results?

[Scorpion]

AHHHHHHH I STILL NEED TO SEND WILL DO SO IMMEDIATELY

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Still waiting on Elite but I've listened to all songs except Scorp's

[Elite]

Well, I sent the best song anyway

[Crow]

well let's see though
my favorite of all the songs I've sent thus far (including round 4) is the one that ranked the lowest out of the first three, and my entry this round is my least favorite or tied for my least favorite about with Amazing Flight, so it has a chance of being #1 in this round by my reverse-o-fake logic, yes
(granted I refuse to send anything less than an 8.5/10 by my own scale so I still love every song I've sent  )

[Elite]

This dude. Weird taste and shit.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

This dude. Weird taste and shit.

Who, me?

[Sacul]

So... when can we expect results?

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Today. Or tomorrow. Really busy, just got around to listening to all the songs once or twice. Gotta keep listening. Y'all be patient.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Round 4 Results:

#8(1 Point): Scorpion – "Silent Film" – Dog Fashion Disco

Man, if this thing was in reverse, you'd be winning this whole contest right now. Sorry man, this one doesn't do a whole lot for me. I believe you sent me something else from them that I liked better. It just doesn't hold up to the other songs in this round. Sad Pandas Galore!

#7(2 Points): Parama – "Judas Unrepentant" – Big Big Train

Cool song, I like the chorus a lot. Other than that, I can't rank it much higher. They almost sound like Transatlantic in a way, but that's a good thing. I'm not sure if they have any affiliation with them or not.

#6(3 Points): black_floyd – "Body Destroyed, Brain Intact" – Dysrhythmia

I like this jam, really fun and exciting listen. A lot of time changes, and badass riffs. I really like the drums in this one, constantly changing and a fuck ton of tom fills. Awesome. I like it better than Enigma Machine... that's fo sho.

#5(4 Points): Elite – "Lost" – Voyager

This one rocks, and I'm surprised I haven't heard them before. Definitely going on my never ending list of bands I need to check out. I like the guitar tones in this song, and the atmosphere makes me feel like I'm in space or something. Pretty damn sweet.

#4(5 Points) – Nekov – "Autumn Moonlight, Pt.1" – Autumn Moonlight

This is beautiful, really straight-forward, simple beauty. I always appreciate stuff like this because it's not so much stuff you have to focus and figure out what they are playing, you just sit back and passively listen. Makes for good study music and relaxing.

#3(6 Points) – kinghsmegland – "Mantis" – Umphrey's McGee

You always find stuff that I never even dreamed of hearing of. Never in my life would I have thought I'd listen to a band called Umphrey's McGee. But hey, I just did. Really proggy, love it. There are some amazing solos in this song, especially at the end. This song goes through a lot of changes, yet it feels really cohesive and flows well. The vocals sounded a bit weird to me at first, but after several listens, I got to really liking them a lot.

#2(7 Points) – Sacul – "Cold Front" – Hammock

This is definitely some beautiful stuff, listening to this one as you're falling asleep is an incredible feeling. I love stuff like this: atmospheric, simple, beautiful. I've been listening to a lot of Storm Corrosion lately and listening to songs like this, and Ljudet Innan, just makes me feel really good. It clears my mind and I just let the music enter.

#1(8 Points) – senecadawg2 – "Cold" – Lunatic Soul

I find it a bit funny that two songs in this round have "Cold" in their title and they both placed highest. This song is so chill, and cold. I get an OSI vibe while listening but it sounds completely refreshing. The vocals are really soothing and beautiful. My favorite part of this song is the atmosphere. I really love when a song title is so accurately represented in the song itself. This song makes me feel like I'd be in an igloo. Nice pick, and that gets you 8 points yet again.
