They aren't worth it : blindtest for the newbs

[Dev]

Ok so basically this was a blindtest I intended to post on some other french web shitz but for some reason the blindtest thread turned into crap , so it will end here .

A glimpse to the tracklistings is accepted though.

PM me your answers and well that's it . A kind of guilty pleasure is hidden is the list , let's find which

.ace is shit. Why can't people not be obnoxious asses and use .zip which everyone has, or at the very least .rar? Especially when you're making a fucking archive of MP3's, which are ALREADY COMPRESSED and do not benefit from the supposedly better compression of obscure proprietary shit format .ace? Rant over! Fortunately I have this here UNACE utility so let's try it:

edit: oh pm's XD

list removed

 

[Dev]

Erik leads , until someone else answers?

 

[Dev]

oh this may be not as easy as I thought , to score average

Let's see a little more awnswers and I'll give clues so you can retry (gotta work - or not - for another solution for Erik but he prolly dosen't care )

[Erik]

wow i thought dark funeral was ABIGOR

hehehe

curious as to why i got 9,75 and not 10 though? because of that wrong guess? :S

 

[Erik]

oh yeah i also thought orphaned land might be MIRROR OF DECEPTION

the vocalist is VERY SIMILAR let me tell you

EDIT: and i liked those YEARNING and NEUROSIS songs despite not having heard them and so failing to guess... but i might check them out...

I don't know, I don't have your answers anymore...

 

[Erik]

me neither, unfo. o well

 

[Ellestin]

"With Tragedies Adorned" is a nice melodoom album. As always with Yearning though: 50% great songs, 50% fillers
