Papa Universe
08.21.17 | Julia - s/t |
Conmaniac
08.21.17 | niceee |
AsleepInTheBack
08.21.17 | Jammed the other 2 already, get your rec in son |
Conmaniac
08.21.17 | Pedro the Lion - It's Hard to Find a Friend
lmk if any of the judges have heard that one
also apologies, I had my final meeting for work just now |
AsleepInTheBack
08.21.17 | They dont appear to have from a quick ratings glance, but I know jack and claire dont have comprehensive ratings. I'll put it up anyway |
Conmaniac
08.21.17 | yeah mostly worried bout jack. if not I have another rec |
Papa Universe
08.21.17 | Well, Pedro is definitely the most accessible one of the bunch. I wanted to rec it in the first part, but seeing how Con critiqued half of my recs as not-emo-enough, I deemed this a tad under the spectrum as well. |
Conmaniac
08.21.17 | Pedro the Lion is decidedly slowcore/emo but more of a 60/40 mix. |
Conmaniac
08.21.17 | it's got that emo tag on sput tho which is the main criteria... |
Papa Universe
08.21.17 | So did Alexisonfire, which you called straight-down Post-Hardcore. |
Conmaniac
08.21.17 | yeah well Alexisonfire is way less emo than Pedro the Lion if we are gonna compare the two |
Pajolero
08.21.17 | You guys have way too much time on your hands |
Papa Universe
08.21.17 | The perks of working from home. |
Conmaniac
08.21.17 | the perks of still having a summer |
AsleepInTheBack
08.21.17 | the perks of summer ye |
verdant
08.21.17 | can someone take all the time i have away from me and then pay me for it thanks |
Conmaniac
08.21.17 | Jack is that Pedro rec good for u? |
verdant
08.21.17 | i've heard it before but not for a very long time so yeah should be alright |
Conmaniac
08.21.17 | alright fair enough, you'll prob recognize one song off of it but rest should be unfamiliar |
AsleepInTheBack
08.21.17 | with this many judges I think its cool if like one person has already heard it before tbh, or yeah if people have heard it but havent jammed it in a while. Otherwise its going to be such a faff |
Conmaniac
08.21.17 | yeah rec-ing albums is tough when u got this many judges but jack seems to be lenient when it comes to that since he doesnt rate everything he's heard (seems he heard Capn Jazz before last round) |
Drifter
08.21.17 | "Pleb revival drivel"
looool |
AsleepInTheBack
08.21.17 | Seeing as I listen to more pleb revival drivel than the old skool stuff I dont know why I said that. Regrets. |
Conmaniac
08.21.17 | yeah was about to say Asleep (; |
Drifter
08.21.17 | I'm glad this comp is still going without me. The only emo I ever jam anymore is nosferatu d2 LOL. I take back my statement that tdag is goat emo album cuz its not strictly emo like We're Gonna Walk Around This City |
AsleepInTheBack
08.21.17 | You rated A Bunny's Caravan like 3 days ago dude, thats emo |
Drifter
08.21.17 | I listened to that a couple months ago but forgot to rate it |
Drifter
08.21.17 | My listening recently has been comprised almost solely of Jeff Buckley and Nosferatu D2 |
AsleepInTheBack
08.21.17 | ah right, I gettchu |
Drifter
08.21.17 | FUCK the drumming on this nosferatu d2 album is SO GOOD |
Drifter
08.21.17 | I dont like that I first listened to Nosferatu d2 in April this year but it looks like fullofsounds listened before me because I had my ratings deleted.
Makes me annggrrryyyyy |
Conmaniac
08.21.17 | lmao... |
Drifter
08.21.17 | Same goes with superman revenge squad (the singers solo project) |
Drifter
08.21.17 | Can't believe the average for We're Gonna Walk Around This City has gone down to a 4.1 smh |
AsleepInTheBack
08.21.17 | I love how Drifter has commented on this more than half the judges. What you lot doing, get in here. Its not like there's an eclipse going on or something else exciting. |
Drifter
08.21.17 | Someone needs to rep nosferatu d2 |
Papa Universe
08.21.17 | "FUCK the drumming on this nosferatu d2 album is SO GOOD"
I like how you make it look like you JUST heard the band for the first time. |
Drifter
08.21.17 | I was listening to it and I just couldn't contain myself |
Drifter
08.21.17 | Unique just 3d nosferatu d2...
I'm gonna fucking lose it |
Papa Universe
08.21.17 | I should have d2 it |
Papa Universe
08.21.17 | I'm sorry, I meant '2d' |
Drifter
08.21.17 | G00d 0ne |
Drifter
08.21.17 | Album is an objective 5 or higher tbh |
Artuma
08.21.17 | "You rated A Bunny's Caravan like 3 days ago dude, thats emo"
hardly, but yeah ok |
Papa Universe
08.21.17 | Is Bunny's Caravan really that Emo that it deserves a tag? I mean, I can hear it there, but I would hardly classify it as that. |
AsleepInTheBack
08.21.17 | Haven't heard it, just saw the tag boys |
Conmaniac
08.21.17 | its mostly post rock ya but the emo influences are there |
Trebor.
08.21.17 | A Bunny's Caravan is definitely emo |
AsleepInTheBack
08.21.17 | Well I've checked all the recs and am pretty much settled on the scores and write ups. Don't know how the rest of the judges are doing. |
Papa Universe
08.21.17 | Did you get on the Google Docs thing? |
AsleepInTheBack
08.21.17 | Yeah. I'm alone on there. |
DixFoo
08.22.17 | Dose some nice recs |
Conmaniac
08.22.17 | aw poor asleep |
ZombieToyDuck
08.22.17 | I will join you friend just gotta do my post punk comp writeups |
AsleepInTheBack
08.22.17 | < 3 |
AsleepInTheBack
08.22.17 | Imagine that actually looks like a heart and we're good |
ZombieToyDuck
08.22.17 | you got it bb |
AsleepInTheBack
08.23.17 | So, I've done mine, Frivolous has sorted his and I believe Deadly has started. Dont know about Jacky boy or Claire |
Papa Universe
08.23.17 | Claire isn't participating in this one, that's why you're here. You're a replacement i times of her absence. Unless she directly said to you that she will participate after all. |
AsleepInTheBack
08.23.17 | Well she said she'd be away for a week and its just about been a week since she said that, figured she'd drop in.
Wait so am I off the next one? |
Papa Universe
08.23.17 | Well, that is what we agred upon, thought you knew. |
Papa Universe
08.23.17 | But then again, Ian dropped out completely, so you might just take his place. You need to talk this over with the other participants to see if they're okay with it. |
Artuma
08.23.17 | this competition is advancing more slowly than i expected but that's not entirely a bad thing. if i was a judge i'd hate to rush with these recs |
ZombieToyDuck
08.23.17 | fine with me asleep is welcome to stay in the competition |
Drifter
08.23.17 | "if i was a judge i'd hate to rush with these recs"
What a great competitor. Unlike Mr. Conmaniac and Mr. UniqueUniverse |
Papa Universe
08.23.17 | Oh look who showed up |
Drifter
08.23.17 | I've been here niqqa |
Conmaniac
08.23.17 | there's a difference between rushing the listens and URGING to even listen in the first place |
verdant
08.24.17 | i'm finished, is that it? |
Papa Universe
08.24.17 | Is Claire part of this one? |
verdant
08.24.17 | don't think so |
AsleepInTheBack
08.24.17 | If Claire is sitting out on this one then we just need Deadly to write up in the Google doc and we're good to go |
ZombieToyDuck
08.24.17 | Will do right away! |
Drifter
08.24.17 | "there's a difference between rushing the listens and URGING to even listen in the first place"
Y'all were rushing me before even the third round. It takes time to digest an album |
Papa Universe
08.24.17 | Stop trying to defend yourself, kid, you're already done for... |
Drifter
08.24.17 | Smh |
ZombieToyDuck
08.24.17 | lol you two did get pretty pissy and the kid's in high school so not sure why you guys had super high expectations (no offense Drifter) |
Drifter
08.24.17 | Smh [2] |
ZombieToyDuck
08.24.17 | ehh man no harm in it. I was the same way in high school I'd probs be how you were during the competition. |
Drifter
08.24.17 | Wym same way in high school |
ZombieToyDuck
08.24.17 | got bored of listening to one genre had to change things up to keep my listening palette fresh constantly. |
AsleepInTheBack
08.24.17 | Ey Deadly's got one more and then we're good. Hype. |
ZombieToyDuck
08.24.17 | yup and will have that shortly |
ZombieToyDuck
08.24.17 | done done done! |
Conmaniac
08.24.17 | ayyy post em! |
Papa Universe
08.24.17 | Bob Tilton - Crescent
Raw and vivid Emo fuckery that, although does slow down, does it in an artistically pleasing way. 3.8/5
BEST SONGS: She Sings But Once, A Song About Killing, Palm Reading
Pedro the Lion - It's Hart to Find a Friend
Man, I remember it differently. In my memory, this was a soft and pleasant album full of nice instrumentation and great lyricism. I haven't heard it in a long time and now that I revisit it, it's actually really boring. Huh, weird. 2.9/5
BEST SONGS: Bad Diary Days, Of Minor Prophets and Their Prostitute Wives |
AsleepInTheBack
08.24.17 | Ta da. |
Conmaniac
08.24.17 | fuckkk i'm getting killed out here |
ZombieToyDuck
08.24.17 | bring in those more aggressive recs con that one was kinda dull man |
Papa Universe
08.24.17 | I keep forgetting, are we playing for sums of ratings or an average? |
ZombieToyDuck
08.24.17 | sums I believe |
ZombieToyDuck
08.24.17 | Current Scores:
Artuma: 31.9
UniqueUniverse: 30.8
Conmaniac: 28.1
|
Papa Universe
08.24.17 | Can somebody upload next round now? |
Conmaniac
08.24.17 | oh that's not too bad i guess. ok well no more messing around now |
ZombieToyDuck
08.24.17 | yeah its early con you ain't down and out yet, sums is a bit more forgiving than avgs |
AsleepInTheBack
08.24.17 | I'll sort out next round reasonably soon, got a few bits to do around the house first |
Conmaniac
08.24.17 | jack my boi still at least
Bad Diary Days is still my eternal breakup jam |
Papa Universe
08.24.17 | I see Frivolous is the hardest to impress. |
Conmaniac
08.24.17 | was gonna point that out as well |
Artuma
08.24.17 | wooo nice job everyone. i don't feel bad for losing to unique on this, that julia album is legit great |
AsleepInTheBack
