OK, I have only listened to some of these once so far, and that was a week or so ago, but I can get started and finish R7 over the weekend.

In 11 with 1 base point:

I thought I would like this more since I thought I did (or would?) like this artist...

Spoiler:

Aesop Rock - Battery
Hip Hop / Jazz (+1)

First impressions, this is pretty spoken wordy. Nothing really grabs me, I'll read the lyrics in future listens, first impressions I usually multi task on and just note what stands out to me. The vocals on this annoy me. Lyrically it seems decent but kind of disjoint without an overriding theme I could pick up on in my few listens other than "this is who I am and a few random thoughts". This really feels more like a poem than a song, which is fine except the poem is not great and reading detracts from it.

Total Score: 2

ready for more fallout songs?

So, I'm going through all the songs again because as it turns out I'm having a hard time picking number 10. Spoiler alert, someone's getting screwed because all the remaining songs are at least pretty decent.

And your song is not a fallout song this round, at least I don't think it is.

I've been busy. And there are like years between seasons of Sherlock and they are only 3 episodes each! (also, I may have started binging on Lucifer in the middle of this round, it's okish but mildly addicting. Would have been much better as a Netfix original, just sayin)

Me neither, and I refuse to look at my PMs.

At least I didnt come last in this category.

I was a bit surprised when I logged in to 2p2 for the first time in a year or so to see the reveal was not completed.

But I've won two categories which was way above expectations!

Been sick as a dog past few days, or this round at least would be done.

Hopefully soon. My biggest regret is losing the moral high ground to criticize others' reveal times.

As I said, the rest of the songs are all pretty decent, but here we go.

In 10th with 2 base points:

Spoiler:
nick
Fabiano do Nascimento - Canto de Xantô
South Am. +1 / Folk +1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB38fGlqr58

First Impressions: Pleasant enough, nice to listen to, but nothing that really grabs me and says I need to hear more of this. On further listens, it's just sort of missing something.

Total Score: 4

In 9th with 3 Base Points
Another pretty chill song

Spoiler:

Crimson Fox
Joe Jackson - Cancer
80-99 / Jazz +1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsQyru5ACmA

First impression: I do love me some Joe Jackson. This is not that great from him, but still decent. Stepping Out (which I think is from the same album?) is probably my favorite song of his that is, I'll say a lot less punk and more melodic? (ie I think his best work is on Look Sharp, but that isn't all he has to offer).

Total Score: 4

It's kind of neat that I can say a Japanese band I've never heard of and still be ambiguous....

Spoiler:

Karmadope
Crossfaith - Devil's Party
2000+ / Asian +2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE4QjJSArkc

First impressions: OK, but nothing special. I like the music more than the vocals, the chorus is better than the rest of the vocals. Listening again, this holds pretty consistent; not bad. It kind of grew on me a little, I don't think I'd put this in a play list probably, but I'd mine them for songs that clicked a little more.

Total Points: 6

It's an oldie where I come from...

Spoiler:
eleanor60
Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode
jazz +1 / <1960 +2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZLBGEwWWsw

First impression: not sure I would call this Jazz influenced (I mean "This is a blues riff in B, whatch me for the changes, and try to keep up"), but w/e. Not my favorite verison of this song and not my favorite Chuck Berry song, though it is a classic for a reason.

Total Score: 8
