jingle.boy's 4th roulette: That's all she wrote folks - another happy ending

[jingle.boy]

Fourth impressions.  A few longer tracks this time - this is an almost a 2 hour playlist.  Overall, slightly weaker round than the first, and not as much diversity in styles - I mostly metal - both prog and power

<so-and-so> may have just taken a bullet for ya'll... cuz I it did virtually nothing for me

<so-and-so> also may just have taken a bullet for ya'll, though this one was a bit better

The only thing that makes this epic is it's duration

If there was an award for the best improvement, pretty sure this track would get it.

Other than *that* one part, this clicked and ticked a lot of boxes

Instrumental breakdown was hit and miss for me - some parts great, some parts just ok

Gorgeous, well constructed, and the different sections flow nicely together

Heavy <genre> done absolutely right.  Most likely the song of the round.

Sounds like the guitar needs a good tuning.

Straight-forward <genre>.  Vocally a little bland, but not unenjoyable

Metal af... only beef is with the production/sound, but I can listen past that

Pretty standard <genre>.  Nothing wrong with it, but nothing right with it either ... it was just meh.

STOP SCREAMING AT ME!!!

Multiple listens is helping this grow on me - for the most part

I could do without that <something> section, but otherwise this was pretty good.

Not a lot of range in the vocals... not sure how I'm feelin about it just yet - could go either way

I really, really hope it's not the first two especially after doing so well in round 1. Or the one about the duration, because it is 10 minutes long. There is that 'one' part in the middle of Judgement Day that is potentially off-putting, so it could be those other two. I really hope it's the 'well constructed' one but just like round 1 I'm bracing for the worst. 

[Indiscipline]

SORRY!






Or I just took a bullet.

Let me help put your mind at ease... one of those applies to your song.

Wouldn't be surprised if this is the song that I was originally going to send

[TAC]

Oh boy. Listening to my song now. I have no idea....

[Stadler]

I can only possibly rule out two:  "vocally bland", and "not a lot of range in the vocals".  Other than that, I could be anywhere in the mix.

Guessing one of these is mine.

Keep guessing.

[Crow]

mine is one of those on the list

[King Postwhore]

I'm feeling confident.

[Elite]

I'm feeling confident.

I'm feeling more confident than last round

[lonestar]

I'm not even guessing. Pretty much everything I'm sending this roulette will be outside of jingle's wheelhouse.

[Lethean]

I don't see "this singer has such a cool voice and the contrast fits the music well" which was the reaction I had (as well as those who recommended it to me), so I'm not super confident.

Funny, that's what I think of when I listen to Rude Awakening.

I get the contrast part and how that could work for some or even most people.  But for some reason, I've never really liked that type of voice regardless of what the genre might be.

[Indiscipline]

I'm pretty confident ... about keeping my Guess the Impression streak alive.

[Evermind]

I'm feeling confident because my business trip ends tomorrow.

Pretty sure I was the guy who cockblocked Train.

[TAC]

My vacation starts today.

[Train of Naught]

Correction

[jingle.boy]

Correction

Except Tim still uses a burner flip phone.

[TAC]

DTF never disappoints.

[King Postwhore]

WTF is a flip phone.

[jingle.boy]

Is just me, or does this look like a mashup of George Carlin and Ozzy?

Add a dash of John Hurt.

Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner! 

[King Postwhore]

Thank you! Thank you! I'll be here, um, here, um, um, um......

One of these is mine.  I think the third one.

SHARON!   It's not fookin' playing.  I'm the prince of fookin' darkness and its not fookin' PLAYING!

[Lowdz]

The "pretty standard... meh" comment could be mine after listening back to it last night. I realised there are better songs on the album 

[jingle.boy]

I'd like to get another 2-3 listens in before results.  I certainly have an idea who's in the top grouping, and who's in the bottom, but songs are still wrestling for their final position

(TAC) - The Silent Wedding / Shadows and Dust
(lonestar) - Periphery / The Way the News Goes
(Evermind) - Mercenary / Redefine Me
(Puppies) - Manticora / Disciples of the Entities
(Indiscipline) - Killing Touch / The Danger Zone
(jj) - Impellitteri / Lost in the Rain
(Elite) - Hekz / Quetzlcoatl
(Stadler) - Heart / Mistral Wind
(Lowdz) - Fiction Syxx / Given Sight
(Bolsters) - Edenbridge / Myearthdream
(Lethean) - Dreamscape / Thorn in my Mind
(wolfking) - DragonForce / The Edge of the World
(Kingshmegland) - Distorted Harmony / Time and Time Again
(Parama) - Dissona / The Last Resistence
(Kattoelox) - Aquaria / Judgment Day
(Train) - Anathema / The Lost Child

Love all the second guessing.  Some of you are right; some of you are WAY off.

You're seriously only getting growls at this rate.

[King Postwhore]

I was enjoying everyone losing their minds over my pick.
