You can find the rules, list of songs and YouTube playlist of all songs in this thread.
I'll also put a link for each new round there and the thread is stickied so that it's easier to find.

Blaze Bayley - Robot
Devin Townsend Project - Hyperdrive!
Operator - The Only One
Primal Rock Rebellion - No Place Like Home
Scar Symmetry - 2012 - The Demise Of The 5th Sun
 
The guitars in that Blaze song and Primal Rock Rebellion sound like someone having a seizure on an open string. Also, who the hell is Primal Rock Rebellion? They sound like a terrible SOAD clone for blue-collar metal. Operator is mediocre alt/radio metal with a poor singer. Scar Symmetry sounds like a big ball of triggers.

The DTP song is the only one I listened to all the way through without being annoyed, so I'll vote for that.

I understand that the vocals might not be everyone's cup of tea. But that wasn't a bad decision. Thing is, Adrian specifically wanted to work with Mikee as a singer. The whole project was planned with that idea in mind. It was an experiment and it was quite successful, in my opinion.
 
I find this very interesting. With British Lion, I read a lot of complaints on this site about the vocals, even though the guy had a pretty conventional sound and decent chops.
It was surprising to me compared to the fact I read no complaints about Mikee's very unconventional style.

I was initially taken aback by that style, but grew to love it.

I was jut listening to the album this morning and I agree with Ariana, a deliberate artistic experiment, and a very successful one.
 
I am not sure if H's melodic -and if I may say bluesy- voice would suit such music anyway. Perhaps the more mellow tracks.
 
Not kidding. Too each their own, I suppose. I just really don't like Mikee's style of singing.

Both songs I've heard would sound better to my ears with Adrian singing, bluesy or no.
 
Good round of songs:
Blaze was the most mediocre, but still something I wouldn't skip.
Scar symmetry is a rare growler band that I enjoy despite the vocals, just good clean metal songs.
Liked the energy of the Operator
PRR has all the energy of that one, in a fresh arrangement, plus a killer solo and a very catchy chorus.
Townsend is next on my list to explore. This one reminded me of Skunkworks.
Votes go to the last two.
