The TAC Back To School Roulette V.7 Schools Out!!!

[TAC]

Good calls.

The Katatonia doesn't jump out at you??

[LithoJazzoSphere]

#18 might be Sacred Oath, #11 might be Katatonia.

New page...

Here are my First Listen Impressions. They are usually fairly vague. I listen to the song the first time and write the first thing that pops into my head. They often have nothing to do with how the song scores...



1. This song would've been better if the singer took the clothespin off his nose.

2. I hate this guy's voice lol.

3. Faizoff-Volbeat I really like the pounding driving rhythm of this.

4. This song smokes, and the vocals are..acquired.

5. One listen and I have no clue how I feel about it. Reminds me a little of Michael Monroe though.

6. One of the first bands I tried with harsh vocals...always liked their music.

7. This is groovy as shit. I dig it.

8. Litho-Scariot This is riffy...and chunky...and tasty metal.

9. Hey this isn't....er..yeah it is. Great drumming though.

10. Wow, that's a smoking intro. This whole song hits a sweet spot.

11. Jamesman-Katatonia So, I've been sent this band before in roulettes, and yup, this is them.

12. Romdrums-Nevermore A tad low tuned for my liking. This song would be much better if played a step or two higher.

13. This has kind of a haunting vibe. Reminds me in parts of modern era Uriah Heep.

14. Well, this is fucking heavy lol

15. My guess is that this song would come across much better if played live in a club...what..is that 
Michael Shenker cameo?

16. I thought this was a bit iffy, but even on this first listen, it continued to build.

17. There's a lot going on here to try and make a first impression with.

18. Glasser-Sacred Oath Old school band I wasn't familiar with, and the vocals were cleaner than I expected.

19. Reaper-Tool WTF? Dream Theater is banned! This song needs a melody infusion.

[TAC]

Wow, it's too easy for you!

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Maybe they're aren't so vague this round.   

[King Postwhore]

#1 is Our Lady Peace.

#2 mine?  Lol

[LithoJazzoSphere]

BTW, what is/is there a rule on sending bands in later rounds that were sent in earlier ones? 

#1 is Our Lady Peace.

Already tried that.  Not sure who fits better this round, but I'm not done with the playlist yet. 

[TAC]

#1 is Our Lady Peace.

Err..

#1 sounds like Our Lady Peace.

It kinda does, but it's not. Close though..

And #2 is not yours.

[King Postwhore]

So mine is one?

[wolfking]

4. This song smokes, and the vocals are..acquired.

This one?

[Jamesman42]

All good on Katatonia, I'm not the biggest fan but I like those few opening tracks on that album.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Join the discography discussion Lethean and I are doing and become a biggest fan!

[wolfking]

What or who is 'close' in relation to Chad? 

You'll see.

I love that Tim has to listen to Andi Kuntz on the mic twice this round.

So....Chad sent Vanden Plas - Christ 0 for the extra credit song!?

[ReaperKK]

1 or 9?

[TAC]

So mine is one?

No, yours may not jump out at you if you don't get the reference, but if you listen at :52 of your song, that's what I'm talking about.

4. This song smokes, and the vocals are..acquired.

This one?

No but close..

So....Chad sent Vanden Plas - Christ 0 for the extra credit song!?

No, but close..

1 or 9?

Err...put them together. 

[faizoff]

7 or 3?

I'm assuming 9 is Tool?

[TAC]

BTW, what is/is there a rule on sending bands in later rounds that were sent in earlier ones? 

#1 is Our Lady Peace.

Already tried that.  Not sure who fits better this round, but I'm not done with the playlist yet.

You'll know it when you hear it, but I'm surprised you don't know it already.


And no, you cannot use a band once they've been used.

I am fine instituting my EP rule though.

[ReaperKK]

1 or 9?

Err...put them together. 

Damn this math class is hard, so it's 7....wait no! 10?

[TAC]

7 or 3?

3 it is!

[TAC]

1 or 9?

Err...put them together. 

Damn this math class is hard, so it's 7....wait no! 10?

I said PUT them together, not ADD them together.

I'm getting an F aren't I?

[TAC]

 

[King Postwhore]

7?

[lonestar]

1?

Another guy that didn't follow instructions...

[LithoJazzoSphere]

And no, you cannot use a band once they've been used.

Figured.  In your next roulette I might have to try a 90s Nevermore song, those don't have the super-low tunings the 00s ones do like rom's.  Though I'm unsure about how you'll react to Warrel's voice. 

[TAC]

Geez, nobody has confidence in their singers?

#1 I thought would be obvious.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

19. Reaper-Tool WTF? Dream Theater is banned! This song needs a melody infusion.

Haha, yes, DT totally ripped off that intro on "Home". 

[TAC]

And no, you cannot use a band once they've been used.

You'd be better off sending Sanctuary.

*Shoulder Shrug*

[Glasser]

Lol everyone is lost cause there's no Japanese bands to match me with 

Day Six.

Glasser knows what's up.

Once I saw Day Six I just knew. They are a very "obscure" prog metal band. I actually released the Day Six album "Eternal Dignity" for them in the US.

[TAC]

7?

Another guy that didn't follow instructions...

No, yours may not jump out at you if you don't get the reference, but if you listen at :52 of your song, that's what I'm talking about.

*Shoulder Shrug*

At :52, I hear the beautiful tones of Michael Schenker.

[Puppies_On_Acid]

Pretty sure mine is either #4 or #14

[lonestar]

How about 16?
