Best I've ever done in a song contest, yay! Glad people liked it. If you're looking for more from The Dear Hunter, I recommend...
Jesus, basically everything. They're one of my favorite bands and I love almost everything they do.
Since they won't be eligible for anything but BotBs in the future, I feel compelled to give a short list of individual songs to check out that'll give a good sampling:
-Act I: 1878
-Act II: The Lake and the River
-Act III: In Cauda Venenum
-Act IV: A Night on the Town
-Orange: But There's Wolves?
-Blue: Tripping in Triplets
-Indigo: Mandala
-Violet: Too Late
-Migrant: Shame
If you liked the song I entered in this contest, I'd recommend just listening all the way through Act II. Act I is similar to that but shorter and more raw; Act III is more experimental and playful and Act IV introduces more poppiness and ballads into the mix.
They also did a project called The Color Spectrum where they did a four-song EP for every color in the visible spectrum plus black and white -- so nine total. The sound of each EP reflects the "mood" of that color. Violet is the most like their stuff off the Act albums, Indigo is probably the most experimental of them. Others incorporated influences of classic rock, electronica, folk, indie, latin, etc.
And then there's Migrant, the only album they've done that wasn't themed in any way. It's probably my least favorite, but still worth checking out."Half of the game is figuring out who the scum is. The other half is convincing everyone else that you're right." -- PlaysWithSquirrels, in Newbie 437- toolenduso

David maxim micic's eco is a great release and bilo3.0 is pretty swag too, though it's more djent prog metal stuff than atmospheric stuffShowEver wanted a playlist full of a lot of music I really dig? Here you go.

I might be more interested in that, actually. I'm still not totally clear on how to define djent, but I know people call Animals as Leaders djent and I basically love them, so."Half of the game is figuring out who the scum is.

2 people gave mine 12s, wow
There were a lot of songs that I liked in this contest.
Out of curiosity, if there's a tie, what determines which song is placed higher?- toolenduso

It's whichever song had more 12s. If they had the same number of 12s, it goes to 10s, then 8s and so on."Half of the game is figuring out who the scum is. The other half is convincing everyone else that you're right." -- PlaysWithSquirrels, in Newbie 437- Quilford

This was a pleasant surprise . I expected my song to do well, but wasn't expecting it to get many 12s. Also, glad to see Jaga Jazzist won. Everyone who liked em should check out the album A Livingroom Hush.- quadz08

@Tammy- I didn't expect 12 pts from you after I picked a pretty bad choice of AP song as you stated ~ I thought I'd have last place but nope! Also, 2 songs you submitted in previous contests were by groups I considered as well.
Oh I hadn't heard the song you submitted before. I'm just kinda hit or miss on their songs. There are some that I love, like the two I mentioned I had thought of submitting, but then some are the throaty screaming without a purpose, which is one of the annoyances I have with some industrial/edm music. But, I loved the song you submitted.I am in the top 90% of scumhunters onsite! - Tammy
