Round 9
1. Sacred Reich - Manifest Reality
(It seems like the majority of songs in this tournament have fallen on the slower, softer side, including my own nominations, so I felt the need to inject some thrash metal into our collective veins. Full-throttle intensity. Wake up and rock out. Unlike most metal songs, the lyrics here are surprisingly life-affirming.)
2. Metallica - Wherever I May Roam
(Not one of my go-to Metallica tracks, but still a kick-ass, head-banging good time.)
3. Steve Wariner - Some Fools Never Learn
(As with most of gbg's nominations, this isn't quite my brand of country, but there's a comfort level that makes for easy listening.)
4. Colorama - Baby Don't Go
(Sorta forgettable, but I appreciated its mellow vibe.)
5. Airlock - Face Down
(Pleasant enough, but nothing about it stands out to me.)
6. Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 2, Movement 1, Part 1
(Just not what I'm in the mood to hear this afternoon, and it seemed to last an eternity.)
This isn't as much fun with so few people participating.
