Necro Presents - Album Walrus REVEAL THREAD

Necro

Ocean’s 11 OST submitted by Rikand





Highpoints – The Plans, Boobytrappin


More funk to kick this one off. I do like how it basically tells the story of the movie through the soundtrack, makes it stand out in a good way. It does get very sameish mind, all the songs seem to blend into the other which will likely cost it a few points. One of the better entries mind.

Zaph

I'll take that. Sorry EN and Aris, looks like you're on your own.

The Boat That Rocked OST submitted by Sawduck




Highpoints – Hang On Stupid, Jumpin Jack Flash


Another daycent album here with some rockin tunes. Pretty much like the boat in the movie then :P It’s not perfect either mind. Silence Is Golden is completely out of place in terms of the tone of the album, a very poor song to boot too. It rebounds from that back into the rock’n’roll type tracks though and overall it’s excellent.

Necro

The Hateful Eight OST submitted by RasTa





Very sinister overtures in the first few songs, haven’t seen the movie admittedly. I don’t mind the instrumentals but again they’re dragging like fook and not really going anywhere. Again I found this very time consuming which is never good when you’re trying to listen to music. Looking at my watch wondering when the next track was due to start. It’s grand. Better than The Fountain, probably worse than Dark Phoenix. That’s about it tbh.

She’s The One submitted by JP Liz V1






Interesting, some more Tom Petty, I’m guessing the submitter is a fan :P Oh wait, just checked, a different entrant… EEEEnteresting. I enjoyed the last Petty album so high hopes for this one. Walls is a great kickstarter song. Nice and… anthemic.. is that a word? It is now. Yeah I’m enjoying this one the whole way through, Petty is a good artist and this is a great soundtrack.

Necro

SHANEU

Commiserations to Irish Aris who gets a point for their entry, just one of those times when the music doesn't gel. Soz

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Sweet. I'll take 2nd.

Congrats Shane. Another great reveal Necro.

Necro

Combined scores after 2 rounds:

Player Name Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Total Score
Trigger 11 6 17
LeVar 6 13 19
Irish Aris 4 1 5
the purple tin 14 4 18
Sawduck 9 12 21
JP Liz V1 2 10 12
Kolido 12 11 23
ShaneU 6.5 14 20.5

cee_jay 8 8 16
RasTa 5 2 7
mustang shelly 7 3 10
Zaph 6.5 9 15.5
Rikand 10 7 17

Kolido leads the way by two points going into the final round, but really it's anyone's game as 7.5 points seperate the top 9 players.


Which means it all comes down to the final round, the 2010 album entries... hoping to have that done for next Monday. Would go Friday but I have a Sheep reveal....

Irish Aris

ah, well, in hindsight it was quite a bit out there, but I wouldn't be able to submit it in any other Walrus.

Zaph

Well played Shane, and thanks for another very enjoyable reveal Necro.

Sawduck

Nice I'll take 3rd, it's refreshing to see my name towards the top, I'm usually somewhere in the middle. I'm not sure what you'll think of my final album I went a bit mental with that one

If it's any consolidation, I still don't think you'll take the wooden spoon

I hope I'm wrong, I really hope Necro likes my third choice and submitted it in that spirit, but given all that's happened so far I have zero confidence now!

I'm a bit more confident about the third category, something that Necro would theoretically like. Otherwise, the title of one of the songs of that album could fit the case of the wooden spoon

I'm guessing Stir It Up, Bob Marley

ShaneU

I love Disco!

Haven't listened to any of the entries yet for Round 3 but I'm an open book. I didn't see Steely Dan or Vampire Weekend topping the first category tbh before I started listening.

I'm happy with 5th place, good flick too from Ed Burns

Saturday Night Fever OST submitted by ShaneU

This is what I wanted, THIS is what I’m talking about in terms of soundtracks. Iconic music from the movies. This starts off with an absolute banger in Stayin Alive and you just get all sorts of happy vibes from the music compared to the dark depressing albums I’ve already listened to. Great choice.

Well Done ShaneU

Rikand

Any walrus where I am in mid table obscurity is a good walrus for me

Glad you enjoyed a good bit of the soundtrack

Necro

*Checks schedule*

I don't see anything planned for today folks... how's about we finish off this first ever Album Walrus?

Necro

Gonna do this somewhat during the daylight hours so will kick things off circa 2pm!
