Mixtape Game ExTreME EdiTiON!

Cathedral - Not their finest hour imo but, goddamn they know how to throw tone, riffs and melody together like only they can 8/10

Limelight - Of course this is metal although very reminiscent of Scorpions/Saxon/UFO as H.P says. If we didn't already have Virgin Killer id take this any day. Great vocals also 7/10

Megadeth - The drums really put me off and these are typical Megadeth riffs and that's ok in my book. Still it's shitty Megadeth so 6/10

God Macabre - Really need to get this one day, l like the rip-off stuff if its done well as this. 7/10

In This Moment - Nah, everything about this is wrong, drums, geetars and shite vocals - there's not a good riff amongst it. 3/10

Revelation - uugh l could listen to this in the background and read a book but would l want to engage? na not really 6/10

Ulysses Siren - Easily the pick of the bunch. Where have l been not to have heard this? What a killer track. 10/10

Exiled Force - ha this rules also. back in the day l would spin this like crazy. Top stuff 9/10

Suicidal Winds - Another cool collection of kick ass riffs and production. These last 3 tunes are right of my liking. This rocks 7/10

Dark Millennium - ok l cant find this track anywhere - youtube blocks it and the rest of their stuff for me, but l found soundcloud stuff and if that's anything to go by then id probably give it a 5/10

Symphony X - Kinda sterile boxed proggy metal that could be a drum machine with cliche riffs and stiff Yngwie solos..but ive heard quite a lot of SX and know they're not that limited. Still...it gets very tiresome quickly...5/10

Slayed Necros appears to be the winner, but he did not submit ratings. I think it's fair to say that such a scenario should result in a forfeit to the next best song. Therefore, H.P. Lovecraft is the winner. This is why it's important to rate the songs if you have any expectation of winning. It doesn't matter so much that Omni neglected to rate, since she had no chance anyway, although CIG singlehandedly rescued that song from last place.

So, just to clarify, I can have No Wainds handle the final count for ratings, yes? I don't know if I'll have time in the end, so I'm just curious. I also don't want to push it off on him if he can't or really doesn't want to. I'll come up with a theme in the next few hours or so. I can handle making the playlist.
