Round 7 first impressions

1.   Really gorgeous. [Tomi – Goldfrapp]
2.   You undersold this. [Evermind – Beyond the Black]
3.   Wonderfully insane. [lonestar – Ninjaspy]
4.   Beautifully ambient. [Sacul – Nils Frahm]
5.   This is... pretty full on. [Cyril – Sparrows]
6.   This is such a great sound! [Buddy – Elder]
7.   Simple and really rather nice. [Katt – Tycho]
8.   I suspect this was a good call. [Jingle – Hemina]
9.   Epic – might be your best yet. [TAC – Suotana]
10.   Nice blend of retro and modern. [romdrums – The Panic Division]
11.   I may have some catching up to do. [Lethean – Green Carnation]
12.   Proggy, upbeat (mostly), oddly life-affirming. [king – Abel Ganz]
13.   This is good... but it feels like something is missing. [Elite – Ancestors]
14.   Nothing mindblowing but a nice poppy energy to it. [Shadow – Angels and Airwaves]
15.   Excellent stuff in a genre I'm not often enthralled by. [Puppies – Wretched]
16.   There's a lot going on here, haven't got my head around it yet. [LordCost – The Mercury Tree]

18.   This is more straightforward than I was expecting, but still great. [Train – The Weeknd]
19.   Like a punchier version of something that did quite well last round. [Nekov – Pendragon]
20.   Might have benefited from punchier production, but it's still very solid. [wolfking – Malpractice]
21.   Nothing unusual, but nicely done and gets better and better throughout. [Luoto – Anthriel]
22.   I'm liking this but it could have been even better with more interesting vocals. [Stadler – Michael Schenker Group]

Those are all pretty positive; that's a good sign.  For me, I'm going with:
I'm liking this but it could have been even better with more interesting vocals.
And this as a backup:
Like a punchier version of something that did quite well last round.

[jingle.boy]

Also, I'll aim for any of these

8.   I suspect this was a good call.

21.   Nothing unusual, but nicely done and gets better and better throughout.
22.   I'm liking this but it could have been even better with more interesting vocals.

My first reaction was 8.

[Evermind]

Goldfrapp is Annabel and Clay

Not googling the next few ones, I feel I can get this on my own:

Repose
Worship Song
uhhh.... Fifth Helena Drive?
An Honest Coward

Sympathizer for sure
Fermentations but it's missing a letter? Permutations?

aaaand I got bored really fast doing this, can someone finish the rest though?

For the impressions, I really hope it's 2. Otherwise I would guess 15. I'm staying positive about this one until I see a v

[Buddyhunter1]

Could be a bunch of those but 19 feels way too on-the-nose to not be mine.

[Nekov]

Round 7 first impressions
10.   Nice blend of retro and modern.
17.   Not the sort of thing I'd often go for, but very nice all the same.
21.   Nothing unusual, but nicely done and gets better and better throughout.

Maybe one of these 3? I could see some of the others fitting as well.

[King Postwhore]

13 or 17 Rich?

[Elite]

I hope mine is nine.

[Crow]

one of 2, 5, 6, 8, 13, 19, 21, 22
i'm gonna say 6 because that's the take i agree with

[The Walrus]

Please let Tycho be 4 or 10. Trying to be realistic here. I fear I will lose my lead, but I do not regret sending them. 

[Indiscipline]

I can't spot mine when every impression is positive 

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Let's try 14.

[ariich]

I'm going to update hangman first, and then I'll come to your impressions guesses.

[TAC]

Am I 22?

[The Walrus]

Am I 22?

Wow, you're so old you're forgetting your age! 

[ariich]

Those are all pretty positive; that's a good sign.

I can't spot mine when every impression is positive 

Very observant of the two of you. Doesn't have the highs of some previous rounds but it's remarkably consistently good. I'm not yet sure there's a 9/10 in here (but it's early days) but I also think there'll be very few below 8.0, and any that are will probably be close.

For me, I'm going with:
I'm liking this but it could have been even better with more interesting vocals.

My first reaction was 8.

For the impressions, I really hope it's 2.

Let's try 14.

All correct!

Could be a bunch of those but 19 feels way too on-the-nose to not be mine.

It's not 6, but it is one of those.

13.   This is good... but it feels like something is missing.
19.   Like a punchier version of something that did quite well last round.

How about these 4?

[The Walrus]

5... 6... 15? O bother 

[Crow]

one of 5, 13, 19, 21
i'm gonna say 6 because that's the take i agree with

It's not 6, but it is one of those.

well it's gotta be one of these four since three of the ones i guess were picked 

i'm gonna go with 19, but 5 as a backup?

[ariich]

5... 6... 15? O bother 

You think the Tycho tunes you sent are full-on?

No none of those.

i'm gonna go with 19, but 5 as a backup?

5 it is!

[Nekov]

Since what I sent is based on something that was sent last round by someone else I'm leaning towards 19

[ariich]

Correct!

[Nekov]

Cool. Am I doing better than that person? 

[Buddyhunter1]

9, 13, 16, 17?

[The Walrus]

What does full-on mean? I'm shooting in the dark here  Oh dear... 21?

[King Postwhore]

Damn you Chad.  I was gong to to use Hemina in my EP.

[ariich]

Cool. Am I doing better than that person? 

I don't know yet!

9, 13, 16, 17?

Still no.

What does full-on mean? I'm shooting in the dark here  Oh dear... 21?

Are you turning into Tim? https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Full-On

Not 21.

Damn you Chad.  I was gong to to use Hemina in my EP.

You still can if you reserve them before comparisons.

[Crow]

i agree that the artist i sent is Loud, probably my heaviest submission but damn it's
