I felt bad that it got double punished for that, as it complicated the song and made it worst. But look, I still really liked it - the songs above it were all really great. RE: REVEAL!

I was very glad I set a scoring system before listening, because otherwise I'd have really struggled to rank songs like this compared to new ones. As it was I feel like it landed about right, here and in other rounds RE: REVEAL!

EN's walrus - osh - 20-09-2021 @E.N. In case you're interested in checking it out, Bonnie Prince Billy did an uptempo cover of his own song 13 years later, in 2012. Videos pretty cool, and was shot in Glasgow (after your reference to Mogwai) RE: REVEAL! EN's walrus - cee_jay - 20-09-2021 EN really enjoyed that reveal, didn't love all the songs but some gems in there. I really like your scoring system! RE: REVEAL!

Don't want to clash too much RE: REVEAL! EN's walrus - E.N. - 21-09-2021 OK, thinking tomorrow or Thursday for the next round, 9pm again. Are many of you in the werewolf game? Next up, Title Tracks Really broad category, once I started thinking I had loads, but here's some I might have picked myself.... Kveikur by Sigur Ros, especially as I don't think many people know about Evil Sigur Ros! Protection by Massive Attack, love this song so much I've leaned on you for years, Now you can lean on me, And that's more than love, That's the way it should be, Now I can't change the way you think, But I could put my arms around you The Came The Morning by The Lone Bellow, love the harmonies in particular. Such a great live act, had a couple of amazing nights watching them in Whelans RE: REVEAL! EN's walrus - Zaph - 21-09-2021 (21-09-2021, 04:53 PM)E.N.

EN's walrus - cee_jay - 22-09-2021 Looking forward to the reveal. Know already the score for my song will be low due to the newness factor. RE: REVEAL! EN's walrus - E.N. - 22-09-2021 Oh, and I just gave 10/10 for fit across the board. I trust you guys, I didn't actually check! We start in 12th place, with 3pts, it's Spoiler
with Beautiful World by Take That I said: Newness: 2/5 Fit: 10/10 Song: 5/10 Total EN Score: 68% Newness comment: Obviously I've heard of Take That! Don't know this song though Song comment: They keep asking "Do you feel what I feel?" and I'm afraid the answer is no. Look, it's a good tune and the harmonies are really well done, I totally get why people like it but it's just not for me, sorry RE: REVEAL! EN's walrus - E.N. - 22-09-2021 In 11th place, with 4pts, it's Spoiler
with Paranoid by Black Sabbath I said: Newness: 0/5 Fit: 10/10 Song: 8/10 Total EN Score: 72% Newness comment: Ha ha, not new, no! Song comment: Look, it's a classic, isn't it? It's not my genre but I can still appreciate this is a tune and a half, not much more to say RE: REVEAL! EN's walrus - E.N. - 22-09-2021 In 10th place, with 5pts, it's Spoiler
with Painkiller by Judas Priest I said: Newness: 3/5 Fit: 10/10 Song: 5/10 Total EN Score: 72% Newness comment: I know of Judas Priest, but don't really know their stuff Song comment: Faster than a laser bullet, louder than an atom bomb...? I'm having trouble taking it seriously I'm afraid. As a 30 second burst it's good, but I rapidly find myself getting a bit bored of it. Just not my style RE: REVEAL! EN's walrus - E.N. - 22-09-2021 And concluding our rock section In 9th place, with 6pts, it's Spoiler
with Better Life by 3 Doors Down I said: Newness: 3/5 Fit: 10/10 Song: 6/10 Total EN Score: 76% Newness comment: I know 3DD, but not much Song comment: Great riff, driving drums, lots to like. But somehow it's not grabbing me, it's a little generic. I like it, but don't love it RE: REVEAL! EN's walrus - E.N. - 22-09-2021 I fear may consider this blasphemy but here goes... In 8th place, with 7pts, it's Spoiler
with Tusk by Fleetwood Mac I said: Newness: 3/5 Fit: 10/10 Song: 6/10 Total EN Score: 76% Newness comment: I actually don't know much FM other than their big singles, thanks to my folks who both liked them Song comment: So I know this album is considered a classic, but I'm not a big fan of the Fleetwood Mac I do know, so let's see... I do like the recorded soundscape start, drums coming in nicely... light voices, drawing me in but it has to go somewhere. No, not yet... even the brass doesn't seem fully committed. It's odd, there's a hell of a lot going on, but it still feels a bit restrained to me. Not sure. OK, on repeated listens it's not grown on me massively. It's decent, but no more RE: REVEAL!

They're my favourites, but I like most! If you've never been to Islay I would highly recommend it. There's a boat there from the north, the distillery tours are awesome and it's a great place in its own right RE: REVEAL! EN's walrus - Zaph - 22-09-2021 Never really got into Scotch, I'm more of a bourbon man. That said, I have a bottle of Highland Park 18yo which is absolutely sublime. RE: REVEAL!

I never really liked Whisky much, but have a mate who loves his whisky and he's managed to introduce me to those successfully! It was on a trip to Amsterdam, and there's a great whisky bar there - L&B I think, where I grew to like some whisky RE: REVEAL! EN's walrus - E.N. - 22-09-2021 In 7th place, with 8pts, it's Spoiler
with Pacer by The Amps They said: My choice for the ending track could have slotted in here, but this is Sheep so I won't be repeating answers! And since I'm not using The Breeders for #3 (or #1, because I had one of theirs considered for that category too!) it's only fair I give Kim Deal some airtime here instead. This is quite a simple, jangly song but it has the charming ramshackle quality that I love about Kim Deal's music. It sounds like she's just after recording it in your sitting room in between smoke breaks, and that's really cool. I said: Newness: 4/5 Fit: 10/10 Song: 6/10 Total EN Score: 80% Newness comment: I know The Amps are Kim Deal's band that aren't the Breeders or Pixies, but don't think I've listened to them Song comment: I think my knowledge of Kim Deal is tainting my listening here. There's a definite similarity of style to her other bands, but it's not as good for me. I get to the end and find I want to listen to Cannonball, but I don't think that's a great endorsement for this song, sorry RE: REVEAL! EN's walrus - cee_jay - 22-09-2021 (22-09-2021, 09:14 PM)E.N.
