Evermind's Second Roulette v. The Aftermath

[Crow]

you have all these really goody EP names, and then "The Empty Hollow" 

[TAC]

Can't wait to see what everyone sent!

While I do envy Ruslan for getting a shit ton of awesome music, I would think grading 6 half hour long EPs would be quite daunting.

[Bolsters]

I'm not sure I would ever do an EP round. Maybe if there were only two or three people, but certainly not six.

[Evermind]

I'll be fine. Listening at work helps a lot, I'm sure I will be able to at least spin each EP at least once a day, some days more often. I got through three EPs now and I've got three more hours of work ahead of me, so I'll just keep spinning them. I'll also try to do some interesting (I think) stuff in this thread to keep it active.

But for now I'm in full listening mode and I'll post the first blurred picture this evening. You've got a lot of songs to guess this time.

[Evermind]

Regarding the schedule - as I said, I'm able to listen to your EPs at work (I'm getting through each EP once a day), and I'm also spending ~90 minutes to get to work and another ~90 minutes to get back. Since it's not that convenient to switch tracks during the travel, I'm ending up spinning each EP about three times per travel. I've got five working days and I decided I'll go to work at Saturday too - I've got six EPs and that's a perfect opportunity for me to give each EP a good amount of listens (as well as get some OT money). So I will be listening to each EP one time a day and one EP will get another five or six listens each day. (I've already got through one EP this way and I think I know it pretty well.) This way each EP will get about 10 listens and I think I will be able to comfortably rate them on Sunday, so that's our schedule I guess!

Meanwhile, I'll try to keep you entertained in this thread. First, have this blurred picture. Since grading 6 half hour long EPs is daunting, you get the daunting blurred picture. I've lumped all the songs into the list, randomized them, did a few tweaks with random order so the songs by the same band were posted together and the epics were ending the columns and here's what we have:

(click on the pic to enlarge it if you need)



Next pictures will have the songs sorted, but for now just have fun guessing the songs and thinking who sent what. If you can, don't use Google and Spotify and whatever. I've made some songs easier to guess than others, so I think this should work.

Pyramid Theorem - Another Day Slips By ??
Bob Catley : Children of the Circle??
Secret Sphere: Wish & steadiness
Black Tora: Fuel My Hunger
Black Majesty: Firestorm

[Crow]

Top of the second list is two Thrice songs, the second is A Song for Milly Michaelson, can't make out the first though

there are also the last three tracks from Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain, this is seneca's EP clearly 

[jingle.boy]

Yeah, I saw that Pyramid Theorem too.

Think I also see:
Soundgarden
Hibria - Millenium Quest
Sun Caged is the second 'suite' - Ashtamangala

Will look some more later if I can.

Pathosray-The Sad Game
I actually had Scent Of Snow on my first EP draft.

Dave Matthew's Band??

Killer tune... would be the one I'd use if/when I ever use Pathosray in a Roulette.

[TAC]

Yeah it is. It has a much different feel than the rest of the album. In fact, it reminds me a bit of Circus Maximus. I even PM'd Ruslan about his thoughts on CM, and he basically rolled his eyes at me.   So I ended up replacing the track.

Somebody took up your Italian power metal challenge 

[Scorpion]

seneca, from what I can see that is a ballsy EP. I don't think I would ever dare sending Evermind Agalloch.

[Train of Naught]

I think I see Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence there, who is this mystery person?

[wolfking]

The Soundgarden track is called Fresh Tendrils from Superunknown.

Bob Catley : Children of the Circle??

Yes.

The top two on the right is Thrice.

[jingle.boy]

I see Black Majesty in there too.

When you're in 6th place, there's nothing to lose!

[wolfking]

I see Black Majesty in there too.

Yep, Brent mentioned the right song too.

Ah... I missed him editing his post.  I thought that one of the songs was Secret Sphere, but somehow gapped out on recognizing the title.  Whoever sent it did so from their best album, that's for sure.

Lots of recycling from my roulette.  Geez people, get original will ya!   

[wolfking]

We're running out of shit bro! 

[TAC]

We're running out of shit bro! 

Yup!
This giant pyramid scheme will shortly grind to a halt.

Until you're in a winning position, there's nothing to lose.

He knows. He knows.

[jingle.boy]

He knows. He knows.

[Luoto]

there are also the last three tracks from Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain, this is seneca's EP clearly 

Except the first one is Birch Black, a short track off The White EP

[Tomislav95]

Waiting for Evermind's comments on Bloodbirds

Well, you'll have to wait some more!

The listening is coming along soundly. Very busy day at work though, I'm quite tired so I've managed to compose this batch of blurred pictures, now I'm going to send something in Bolsters' and just go to sleep. Anyway, now the songs are sorted by EPs (in order too), and the guessed ones are visible. Have fun guessing the rest and who send which EP! (obviously I didn't include EP names in those)

[Crow]

the other thrice is come all you weary

[jingle.boy]

Nice.  Soulspell was on my list of possibilities too.  I'll be interested to see who sent that.

I think I see Shadowquest in there too.  Heard of them, but don't know them.

Labyrinth - good call.
Eden's Curse... how was that not banned?

Might look harder later, and try to guess who's who.  I'll guess bottom right is RJ

[jingle.boy]

Labyrinth - good call.
Eden's Curse... how was that not banned?
Shadowquest and Lords of the Trident - jeez, you guys really are recycling your bands, aren't you!

Might look harder later.

As for who's who... I'll guess bottom right is RJ; and the one with Sun Caged is probably Big Hath.  Catley/Black Majesty has to be Kade; we know Agalloch/Thrice is Seneca; Pathosray/Labyrinth I'll say is Brent; Guaranteed Tim is the Hibria/Lords of the Trident... cuz he gave me those in mine!


Edit - I quoted myself in err, instead of modifying the above post.  That's why they look the same.

[lonestar]

You are le wrong.

[jingle.boy]

You are le wrong.

No shit.  Well, then swap you and Jon - since he sent me Black Tora in my roulette, and you put me on to Secret Sphere.

Mother fucker... first two songs are Stargate.  You're definitely the top left.

[wolfking]

Innerwish - Rain of A Thousand Years is in there too, good stuff.
