ariich’s inclusive roulette (v6) – EPic final results!

[Elite]

2.     [Elite – Kamasi Washington]

This is almost the most useless first impression ever, I think

Well I don't mean it only to mean "this is jazz" in the same way that #3 doesn't just mean "this is metal".

Well, let's hope it means something like 'this is some cool shit  . yeah.' then.

[Crow]

that marsyas album i enjoyed. maybe not the most original thing yeah but it's very competent. vocals are a bit eehhh but the music is cool, situated right between prog rock and metal too so the fogeys here will probably not hate it

[Sacul]

the algiers debut is Good, Actually. ignore train

this

[ariich]

By the way I'm very late with this but please DO check out No NOW by Clarence Clarity and the two latest albums by Algiers, if you like all that stuff I sent you you'll surely dig those. The Algiers debut is ehhhhh but the other two are great and have an even wider sound range than the songs I sent you. Madame Rieux is my favourite song as well though, I'm afraid they don't have anything quite as somber sounding as that, but it's worth the effort!

Forgot to reply to this but yeah I already gave No Now a couple of listens and it's excellent - a couple of slightly eh songs but not enough to hurt the overall quality.

I'll certainly be giving the Algiers albums a listen as well, but probably not until after the roulette.

More generally, everything that scores an 8.0 or higher I'll check out at least one full album, often more. Below 8, there are a bunch of others I'll want to check out as well but probably not quite so consistently and based more on a judgement of where I think there's most chance I'll really like a full album.

honestly I'm just here for the post-roulette album write-ups

They'll probably be short simply because of the sheer number of them (it's all your faults for sending me so much enticing music) but I'm very happy to continue to report back once the roulette is over!

[jingle.boy]

That's why I did a top 150 list of the best songs I got in my roulettes. I wanted to give back to my roulette community. 

I'd love to see more of that - like, what really connected with people long term after the initial roulette phase of discovery? What was a one-off great song?  What ended up being a great album... or a full on discography purchase?

These are questions that need answers!!

Yeah, I thought that was a great idea Chad.

Indeed.

[ariich]

Yeah that was a very cool idea. And I have previously considered doing a thread on my favourite discoveries that have stuck with me from past roulettes, but whenever I think maybe I'll do that, I get the itch to start another roulette and just do that instead.

Given that this isn't an album roulette this time, I think in the first instance I'll report back (in this thread) for a while on my exploration of full albums by the artists in this roulette. But if others also like the idea of returning to how well things lasted from past roulettes, I think I'll do a thread on that to include all my roulettes (including this one) before I do my next one. My v1 and v2 were 8-10 years ago and most people who played in them aren't very active anymore, but I'll probably even give a quick high-level summary for those as well.

I know you've been egging me to do my top 50 albums of all time.

That AND a Roulette of your own.

Your subjects need this!!!

[The Walrus]

Man, that's a great idea. I'd love to go through all my roulettes and pluck out my favorites, there's soooo many amazing songs to choose from. Maybe I'll do that after mamboroulette no. 5

[King Postwhore]

I might dabble over the weekend and work on the albums to pick and flush out the 50.

We getting comparisons today?

[ariich]

We getting comparisons today?

Yes indeed - not been able to do quite so much listening this week but still on track to finish third listens (and therefore tentative ratings) by this evening, when I'll get comparisons up.

I've been working on mine for like 6 months. It's hard AF. 

[Tomislav95]

I'm definitely ^ this time, can't get worse that last round given first impression was positive.

[ariich]

It's rather looking like this round is going to have the smallest range of scores so far, particularly driven by nothing scoring especially low.

[ariich]

Round 4 comparisons
Again these are indicative and subject to change.
Comparisons are with the Round 3 score.
Ordered by Round 3 ranking (just the ranking for that round, not the total score).

[Buddyhunter1]

Nearly all of the top moving down and all of the bottom moving up? THIS IS THE FUTURE THAT LIBERALS WANT

[The Walrus]

How dare I do worse than last round

[Crow]

WE'RE GOING DOWN, DOWN, SHUBADOBADOO DOWN

you're wrong, btw

[Indiscipline]

Hello 7.9, so glad to see you my friend.

[Buddyhunter1]

It's okay Cyril, you're still getting an 8.5 because your scores can't be more than a 0.1 difference away from mine

[Crow]

I'm getting an 8.1, ariich promised me

[Nekov]

Interesting, I would have thought I'd do better this round

[King Postwhore]

7.8 baby.

[Evermind]

Duh, as expected

[lonestar]

 

[jingle.boy]

[wolfking]

[ariich]
