04.26.14 | As with the previous match-up, I know who I'm gonna vote for between 3 & 4. However, since I haven't heard 2, I need to hear that twice, plus jam 1 once more as well before voting. |
mryrtmrnfoxxxy
04.26.14 | 1
3 |
Friday13th
04.26.14 | I'm voting 1 and 3 |
Onirium
04.26.14 | 1 and 4
C'mon guys, the sloth is cool but 4 is like the best thing of this whole contest |
mandan
04.26.14 | I didn't really like 4, it felt too nu-metallish for my taste. But that's my opinion. |
Onirium
04.27.14 | I just can't believe this fucking sloth (yet a very awesome sloth) will possibly win over 4... It will even probably win the whole contest too. It was excellent, but it's a shame it had to face 4 in the 2nd round |
mandan
04.27.14 | 1 is between a 4 and a 4.5 for me. |
mandan
04.27.14 | Yeah, I really don't like Dysrhythmia, too dull for my taste.
So my votes go to Sebastian Hardie and Yonin Bayashi, by wide margin. |
MrSirLordGentleman
04.27.14 | 3 and 4 are way better than 1 and 2... I think I won't vote this round, can't decide between Egonon and the sloth |
mandan
04.27.14 | 3's my fave out of all of these personally. 1's pretty cool though, but I don't know if I'll bump it to a 4.5 or not. |
MrSirLordGentleman
04.27.14 | 2 is a big "meh" for me |
mandan
04.27.14 | Yeah, I don't like 2 either. Too uninteresting. |
SCREAM!
04.27.14 | Sebastian and Yonin |

what !? you sure you're listening to the right album ? haha man |
Friday13th
04.27.14 | It has its Tool moments but it also sounds oldschool prog |
zakalwe
04.27.14 | Seb and Yonin |
manosg
04.27.14 | Listened to 3 because of zak and 4 because of mena. Both great albums but love all the influences on 3 so I'll go with Ishoku-Sokuhatsu. |
menawati
04.27.14 | voting 1 and 4 but 3 is great indeed so glad it's going through |
Jethro42
04.27.14 | It's hard to cut between 3 and 4 as they compete hard, so I have to relisten to 3 closely. |
Jethro42
04.27.14 | Yonin Bayashi has its own special way to rule (especially the song Ishoku Sokuhatsu), but I prefer the climax of Egonon. The latter combines the best of the Italian progressive tradition with modern sensibilities and eclectic influences. With a wide variety of instruments, the result is a wonderful blend of old and new, exotic and familiar, melodic...It contains everything I'm looking for into a prog rock band. My vote is definitely 1 and 4. |
zakalwe
04.27.14 | Jethro dude, Egonon may have.

However sloth has sloth. |
mandan
04.27.14 | Sloth has sloth, agreed. Plus, Egonon feels un-proggy to me personally. |
menawati
04.27.14 | sloth is great indeed, that Breathe parody jars a lot though wish they hadn't done that |
menawati
04.27.14 | what's 'un-proggy' about it danny ? |
zakalwe
04.27.14 | I see where Danny's coming from there's elements of late 90s rock littered throughout. |
mandan
04.27.14 | Can't get into it mena, kinda reminds me of nu-metal and stuff like that. But that's just my opinion. |
menawati
04.27.14 | some people wont be into it for sure but I just cant see the nu-metal connection at all, it's full on prog to me too, really that's what i like about it most, it jumps around all over the place (some of the time sig changes are really weird & unnatural) but still manages to maintain a vibe and sweet melodies over it all |
Jethro42
04.27.14 | Egonon are captivating to me. They offer everything a classic prog band can offer and more. Even a small dose of heavy guitar here and there. And all these instruments they use! Truly eclectic. |
Onirium
04.27.14 | Egonon rules. I can't see the nu-metal in it neither, but for sure it has a strong modern side and the blend with Italian prog is just so perfect. Lacrime Di Luce is such a beautiful song and imo should win over everything this sloth ever did |
menawati
04.27.14 | hehe looks like it's a marmite record, love or hate |
Friday13th
04.27.14 | CLOSED! Hardie wins hard and Sloth wins 6-3! |
Onirium
04.27.14 | Shame on you people |
Jethro42
04.27.14 | In my heart, Egonon wins |
mandan
04.27.14 | Holy shit, just realized that only 4 albums are left standing. This is the big kahuna now. |
menawati
04.27.14 | 8 left innit ? |
menawati
04.27.14 | oh no 4 left, damn |
