| CONTINENTAL RECFEST S4R1
CONTINENTAL RECFEST SEASON FOUR, ROUND ONE. FIGHT! ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
THE CONTINENTAL RECFEST, also known as the CONTINENTAL REC TOURNAMENT, has been an annual tradition in the Sputnik community since 2018. Originally hosted and judged by Sharkattack, it is a tournament traveling the world (and perhaps beyond!), compiling album recommendations from specific locations into a battle royale of sonic warfare. SEASON FOUR picks up a little (a lot) early with its new host Bloodshy, a former tournament contestant (and loser, a bad, bad loser), determined to keep this precious tradition alive! We will be kicking off with an invitation to Sharkattack: please participate as a contestant for the very first time! As a booster to help keep him in the running for at least two rounds, he receives a +0.5 score for the first round, just like the winner of the previous season will. UPDATE: BOTULIST IS WINRAR OF SEASON THREE CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTULIST!!! ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
In round one, we find ourselves in NORTH AMERICA. It is a forefront of musical talent, a melting pot of genres and stylings. A single state alone from the USA has enough musical output to fuel a tournament. The country has high standards of production, quality, and skill, but let's not be too hasty... If you choose to recommend an album from Mexico or Canada, you will receive +0.2 points to the score I give! It is up to you to choose an album from anywhere in this continent as you see fit, that will please me to my personal standards. Feel free to browse my ratings and choose an album I have not heard, that might coincide with my musical tastes. ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
Most importantly, but not a requirement: Have fun! | | 1 |  | Spiritbox
Spiritbox
SEASON FOUR ROUND ONE: NORTH AMERICA
+0.2 points for recommending outside the USA.
Spiritbox is one of my favorite bands, and they're from Vancouver Island in Canada.
How does the scoring work? Example: If I hadn't heard Spiritbox and Botulist had made them as a recommendation, he would have gotten a 5.7 score, since this album is a perfect 5.0 for me, Botulist having won the previous tournament gets a +0.5 this round, and since it's Canada (not USA), a +0.2 according to this round's rules...
Tips:
If you're trying to play it safe, recommend deathcore or something. While deathcore is hardly ever spectacular, I don't remember the last time I full-blown disliked a deathcore album.
It probably isn't wise to recommend thrash, punk, or twang country unless you're feeling brave. While I do enjoy some, it's pretty rare.
In general, I like just about every genre, so if you're convinced it's good, go for it! I'm excited!!!!! | | 2 |  | Primus

Experimental rock band from El Sobrante, California, USA
I had heard Jerry The Racecar Driver and the South Park theme song, which was enough that I had put off listening to anything by this band indefinitely. So when listening to this album in its entirety, I at least found that I sort of liked one of the songs here... Song six, Eleven... Uhh... ...But honestly, the combination of the guy's voice and noodling of the bass really kind of turns me off.

Recommended by ColeT
Rap/trap artist from Atlanta, Georgia, USA
At first I thought I was going to like this a lot, because some of the beats are heavy or crunchy or smoooooth... but then he kept doing shit like 2:30 into Swizz Beats where his voice is just so bad it's grating. Or he talks about his dick for an uncomfortable number of times. And the rhyming scheme is intentionally lazy and repetetive, which I think appeals to people who want to remember the words or something, but that really turns me off too. He "arfed" in RiRi, btw. Like a doggo. Arf arf.
Here's some quality lyrics from Swizz Beatz, my favorite track, you're welcome: "I need some brain from your baby mama / Lil mama she wet like a boat, a boat / Lil mama, she wet like a boat / Lil mama she wet like a boat, a boat / Lil mama, she wet like a boat / Lil mama, she ready for war / She ready for dick in her ass and her throat."

Post-hardcore/hardcore metal band from Kent, Ohio, USA
Classic post-hardcore sound. Some of the songs hint at a fun southern groove, like Hell in a Cell '98... but sometimes I do feel like the vocalist tries too hard during the spoken-word parts to emulate The Chariot, and I think those parts fall a little flat, especially in the beginning of A Boy Named Sad. The vocals in general are really good, though. The album as a whole is pretty killer. Standout track for me: Leslie Americus.

Fantastic melodies and harmonies. Production is top notch with some really fun sounds. It's got really depressing vocals with happy beats, IDK. Pretty cool I think.

IDM artist from Austin, Texas, USA
These beats as so damn crunchy, but it's still chill. It strikes me of a cross between The Field and Haujobb. There's not a lot of music that I've found like this, so this could have some serious replay value.

Recommended by JohnnyoftheWell
Indie rock band from Toronto, Canada
Quality songs on a solid album. The playstyle itself really sounds ahead of its time too, kind of surprised this was released in 2003. I'm also surprised I have never heard this. 700k monthly listeners on Spotify?

Heavy band from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Less heavy than I expected, after hearing a lot of bragging from rando's: "STARPIN YOUNG LARD SO HEAVY IS HEAVEST," but it was essentially just really good. Smart, dissonant melodies, a bit of Townshend quirkiness... I'll definitely be listening to this after the competition.

Mare
Recommended by Sniff
Sludge metal band from Toronto, Canada
The peaks and valleys are pretty extreme on this album. Let me tell you about the part that really stuck out for me. Halfway through the album, the song, "Sun for Miles," begins to have its way with me. It serenades me in a beautiful, fragile moonlit walk. Then toward the end of the song, Mare is like, "Fuck. We forgot to show you our final form." Layers of sound crash around me, and a wall of sound-rubble forms. It begins to loom over me, hinting that it might topple. I take a step back. Budgie is under a table rocking back and forth. Then the song abruptly ends. The album ends. That's when I learned the album was an EP, and the band was dead the whole time.

Post-rock/classical group from Montreal, Canada
God damn, this is good. Instrument choice (what is that, a sitar?) and playstyle are eargasmic, the all-important post-rock flow is so perfect from start to finish. The melodies in here are quite memorable, which is a feat in itself when you're playing post-rock. I love this. It has the potential to really grow, too.

Indie punk band from Guadalajara, Mexico
A few of these songs have them pesky punky entry-level guitar chord repetition, but I enjoyed a lot of the album quite a bit: the darker, slower portions. "Witchless C Spot" definitely hit the spot for me. The good spot. It hit the g-spot. C Spot run. Witch sees pot, witch brews hit, see? I really just need to end this blurb befo

Two seconds in, I could tell this was going to be good. I was like, Beirut? Mexican Beirut plz? Actually, this is more comparable to Madredeus, a [band?] I really love. That unassuming hint of slide guitar in Soledad y el Mar really does it for me. I'll close my eyes for this, imagine I'm a spy, dancing on the coast of Cancun with the lovely target whose ID card I hav eto steal, but she ends up stealing my decodder pen instead. I';m typing this with my eys closed .

Recommended by Uzumaki
Death metal band from Vancouver, Canada
Very safe choice. The programmed drums and low, featureless growl remind me a lot of Dethklok, but not in a bad way. Quite enjoyable. If my hair was longer, I'd metalcopter all over this. Not sure what the correct terminology is for metalcoptering. Metalcoptering, like when you 'copter to metal? m/ m/ IDK.

Punk/post-hardcore band from Vancouver, Canada
Seemingly heartfelt screams, this sound kind of has a nostalgia to it. It sounds a lot like early mewithoutYou. Each individual song is fantastic, but I don't feel like they build much of an album together. Besides the last two songs, they blur together a bit for me.

Metalcore/mathcore band from Mississauga, Canada
Great choice... this style is right up my alley. It felt fresh, even though it's 2007. It brushed on some nu-metal (that's the fad again), it was exciting, production sounded great. Good variety as well, especially evident on the last song. What a killer ending!

I liked this based on the sound and atmosphere alone, but there really wasn't a whole lot there song-wise to really put this over the top for me. I might not be as adept at listening to black metal, though.

There are a lot of sounds here I can really sink my teeth into. The rhythm and atmosphere are really welcoming for such a heavy industrial project. And it's a bad-ass album.

Random 3.0 from budgie
Psych-rock band from New York City, New York, USA
The vocalist really reminds me a lot of Sorry... Anyway, the melodies and vocals are really good and the soundscapes are fantastic. Sometimes I find the poppiness and the soundscapes don't really complement each other very well, though, so it's kind of like alternating pizza and ice cream every bite. So it's really good, but I could have enjoyed it more with different placement.

Mathcore band from Bergen County, New Jersey, USA
Very ambitious album. I find myself in anticipation of the clean singing in the songs, even though the heavy parts are consistently vibrant and engaging. There's really a lot here to unpack with so many unique pieces to the songs, similarly structured to how a progressive metal band would write.

Also, sorry for the long-winded introduction. | Divaman
08.26.20 | Hmm. Your taste is a mystery. You speak of deathcore, but I see 5's in your ratings for bands like Beach House and Eisley. I don't know squat about deathcore, but those other things I can work with. | bloodshy
08.26.20 | The point I was trying to get at is you won't see deathcore in my one's, so it's like cooking a steak for the first round... it won't get you the Masterchef title, but someone else is going to cook something worse for sure.
But yeah, I like a lot of shit. | ArsMoriendi

Alright, I'd like at least twelve contestants for the first round, but I will be accepting up to 24. I'll be accepting late entries this round up until the point where I have made all my ratings. Tell your significant others and/or family to make their recs before it's too late! | bloodshy
08.26.20 | Got you, Divaman.
I don't think we have any overlap of genres yet, this is awesome. Surprised I haven't seen anyone scrambling for a Canada rec, trying to get that extra 0.2 points. | LeddSledd

08.26.20 | @botulist, sounds good
@slothcore, got you.
@budgie, playing it by ear right now. if for some reason the slots fill up, consider the deadline passed. otherwise might give it a week for entries while i listen, then close it and bang out the ratings all at once. that's the plan anyway
@sniff, mexico is definitely latin-inspired sub-south-america tacocore, but for the rules in this contest, we're switching it up and redrawing maps to include mexico into north america. got your rec in.
@shark, yes! shark bite! scour away.
@trifolium, i think if you just rec something i'll enjoy and rate high, that's the ticket to winning
@dewinged, gotchu. looks unique
@johnny, normal contest +0.2 points, but mucho respect, eh?
| budgie
08.26.20 | iceland is technically on the north american continental plate so we should be able to rec sigur ros n shit | bloodshy
08.26.20 | Google says country in Europe. Plus I'm too familiar with Sigur Ros to accept any albums of theirs I haven't rated anyway. | bloodshy
08.26.20 | Okay, I think I'm caught up for now, added Trifolium's rec. | budgie

08.26.20 | @Sniff Oops. I'm mostly worried about not deleting this list with fat thumbs, doing this on my phone. Points will be allocated correctly, don't worry!
@budgie, I will let you choose Iceland at a -5.0 penalty. So if it's a perfect album, you can get 0.2 total score for rating outside the USA.
@trifolium LOL don't outdo yourself, no extra points for birthdays. :D | budgie
08.26.20 | it wasnt even for me i was being generous to my fellow competitors | bloodshy
08.26.20 | Pro tip everyone: rec me any of budgie's 4.5's for a promising rating | bloodshy
08.26.20 | When round five hits, it'll look like CONTINENTAL RECFEST SARS but it won't say that. It'll says S4R5. Or will it? | budgie
08.26.20 | there's probably a good deal of thrash & punk in my 4.5s folks so be careful | Trifolium

08.26.20 | I thought about reccing wildlife. Seems like it would be right up his alley. | Minushuman24
08.26.20 | I would think so as well. King Park alone makes that album an easy 4/5 | Sharkattack
08.26.20 | I can only listen to that album every couple years or so. It’s so emotionally draining. King Park is insane. Always get chills during that song. | bloodshy
08.26.20 | I've definitely heard La dispute, but I can't remember how much i like them or any songs, so... will update these when I get home. | Uzumaki

08.27.20 | I'm kind of listening to these albums in random order, but I have to say... One of these albums is really growing on me. I might be fiving something here (or rounding up to five for the real sput rating). We'll see. Good recommendation, secret Sput user! | bloodshy
08.27.20 | That's a pretty smart idea, Sam. Also, I like the hemophobe term. I'll keep it in mind, and if not for this season, I'll keep it in mind for the next one too.

08.28.20 | bloodshy, just saw your question. I’d say two eliminations per round, until the field is trimmed down to final 8, then 1 per round | bloodshy

08.30.20 | to be fair, she's lived in usa since 2013. i think budgie is just pushing his luck. took him a week to find an australian american. i even searched to see if she has a citizenship, just for budgie, but didn't find anything | bloodshy
08.30.20 | gonna have to say no to invent animate too, sorry. i know them too well, and i don't want people looking through my 5's to find the albums i haven't rated yet from those artists. i know you'll find a good one though, tyman. | budgie
08.30.20 | tyman you CHEATER | budgie
08.30.20 | can we ban johnny from this tournament bc he's a) white and b) a homebreaker | bloodshy
08.30.20 | knowing tyman, that's probably what he wanted to suggest regardless. i'll add it to my jukebox cuz i like tyman. | tyman128
08.30.20 | i'm sorry budgie don't hurt me :[
and yea I get that, I thought it was a slight stretch since you already knew them... so I'm gonna have to go with
The Number Twelve Looks Like You - Wild Gods
Mathcore from Bergen County, New Jersey | JohnnyoftheWell
08.30.20 | ban me and not budgie, and this contest loses all credibility wait that sounds awesome DO IT | budgie
08.30.20 | johnny u think ur so cool and important but i bet uve never even slept with meg myers | bloodshy
08.30.20 | johnny wants to watch the world burn, probably itching for a zombie apocalypse. | bloodshy
08.30.20 | Alright, after all that listening, I've finally come to The End. | SteakByrnes
08.30.20 | Righteous | bloodshy

08.30.20 | got 'em | bloodshy
08.30.20 | if i make a list making fun of everyone's names, including my own, how butthurt would everyone be? | budgie
08.30.20 | im known for driving cars into helicopters ill have u know | ArsMoriendi
08.30.20 | " how butthurt would everyone be?"
Can't speak for others, but I'll be about a 2/10 on the butthurt scale (10/10 being the most butthurt) | Minushuman24
08.30.20 | I'm gonna be so butthurt | bloodshy
08.30.20 | yours is pretty good, ars. some of the others are pretty lame or potentially mean | tyman128
08.30.20 | I'm more so just intrigued how you'd even make fun of my name tbh | Minushuman24
08.30.20 | My album has a song referencing Mankind vs. the Undertaker in a Hell in the Cell match where The Undertaker threw Mankind off the top of the cell, mine can't be lame | bloodshy
08.30.20 | not the albums, i mean the alt names i'm making to make fun of people that i probably won't release because two out of 20 people might cry | Minushuman24
08.30.20 | oh, people are already mean to me, so go ahead | SlothcoreSam
08.30.20 | I'm not gonna be butt hurt. Hemophobe | bloodshy
08.30.20 | fuck it, yolo. i'll take down the list if people get mad | porcupinetheater
08.30.20 | @Bloodshy
Elementary joke | Trifolium
08.30.20 | But Minus I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!
I won't be butthurt. Flowers don't have butts. | bloodshy
08.30.20 | looks like this will get done tomorrow. budgie's locked in with his 3.0 that i picked, one more album to listen to, a few more blurbs to write.
entries are closed | bloodshy
08.30.20 | Four contestants have been eliminated. I will post round two and share its details tomorrow with a link to it here when it's available.
Congratulations to everyone who has gone through to the next round, and congratulations to Trifolium for winning this round! A thank you goes out to the contestants who were eliminated! Please enjoy further rounds from the spectator lounge with complimentary drinks. | Minushuman24
08.30.20 | I am so upset that Budgie got eliminated | bloodshy
08.30.20 | With a 3.9, no less. He did pretty good for not doing anything.
It was a good album. | Minushuman24
08.30.20 | botulist out already, surprise | bloodshy
08.30.20 | Oh shit, now I get to officially rate them all. | budgie
08.30.20 | lol you didnt even use my pick oh well | ArsMoriendi
08.30.20 | Damn, that Primus opinion makes me sad, but if you didn't like that one, I wouldn't have won anyway
good luck everyone else
| bloodshy
08.30.20 | oh shit, that was a rec? i thought it was info about what you were talking about | Minushuman24
08.30.20 | justice for budgie, advance him to the next round
But still pick a random album | budgie
08.30.20 | ya lil canadian ep
but i officially rescind my rec in light of this egregious maltreatment | bloodshy
08.30.20 | i'm kind of on the justice for budgie thing right now. bloodshy fucked up, that's on him and he should be eliminated instead | bloodshy
08.30.20 | so i'm not going to eliminate anyone else instead of budgie, but as long as this one is a 4.0 or above for a final score, budgie will be un-eliminated | bloodshy
08.30.20 | is it too late to erase all evidence of my mistake? that delete button is looking tasty | budgie
08.30.20 | i hope this one gets a lower score than the random 3.9 lol | bloodshy
08.30.20 | rise, budgie. rise from the ashes. | budgie
08.30.20 | gonna take this moment to plug helena delands upcoming lp this october, two singles out now are better than sex https://helenadeland.bandcamp.com/album/someone-new | SteakByrnes
08.30.20 | Lmao right on budgie | botulist
08.30.20 | Hahahaha, had a feeling this would have happened | Minushuman24
08.30.20 | yay budgie did it | Trifolium
08.30.20 | Omg so glad you liked Natalia and "That unassuming hint of slide guitar in Soledad y el Mar really does it for me." is exactly what did it for me. That track is as close to perfect as you can get for me. I highly recommend watching the accompanying video, you'll fall in love head over heels with her. | LeddSledd
08.30.20 | We big chillin 😎 imma have to check these recs out myself at some point soon | Deez
08.30.20 | Mare should be winning every competition ever, honesty. | Sniff
08.31.20 | [2] | Divaman
08.31.20 | I live. Yay! | Dewinged
08.31.20 | Fuuuuck Trif won over me by a hair lol | JohnnyoftheWell
08.31.20 | Oof RIP budgie and Ars
"budgie will be un-eliminated"
WHAT NO?! kill'im | Sharkattack
08.31.20 | Damn without those handicaps I would’ve been fucked. | bloodshy
08.31.20 | @dewinged, i was actually going to rate them both 4.7, but i only wanted one winner | Necrotica
08.31.20 | Not sure if this was still going on, but I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring with an obscure band that came from close to my hometown:
So-Cal Rocket Dynamics - Too Bad She Won't Live
It's also on the Sput database, since I reviewed it back in 2014. Really interesting mix of classic punk, rockabilly, and psychobilly | bloodshy
09.01.20 | Round one is done, but I'll maybe let people reenter/start round two at a half-point disadvantage if I can't get enough returning participants.
Sorry, Necrotica! I'm planning on doing this tournament quarterly, though, so hopefully I'll have another one going around Christmas time. I don't know though for sure; I'm new to hosting this. | bloodshy
09.01.20 | CONTINENTAL RECFEST SEASON FOUR, ROUND TWO. FIGHT!
DING DING!
