Rolo Tomassi - Prescience[^]
A friend recommended Rolo Tomassi's new album last week.
The name Rolo Tomassi sounds exotic, but they're from Sheffield, England, and all members have pretty English sounding names.
According to Wikipedia, their name is taken from a dialogue in the film L.A. Noir.
I can't say I'm familiar with their previous work, but apparently it's quite chaotic.
What I hear on this album is something between dream pop and black metal, or post-black metal.
Other terms I see are mathcore, post-hardcore, experimental and noisecore.
Whatever it is, it's not easily categorized.
This track is one of the harder ones on the album, but I just love the beginning of the track with the weird time signature.
According to the band, this song "feels very 'Hans Zimmer'" and "feels like the soundtrack to a Christopher Nolan film!"
I don't hear Zimmer or Nolan myself, but nevertheless this is song (and album) of the week

Noise of the week perhaps? (Not my style but thank you for sharing)

We've already had some actual noise in the SOTW: The Lounge[^]

Didn't know them, but I'm pretty sure I'd have found them sooner or later, as this is pretty much the sort of music I've been listening to lately

The cookie monster vocals ruin it for me, but the instrumentation is interesting and masterfully played.
Zimmer might have influenced the slow, instrumental break in the middle, but yeah, I don't hear him, either.
The next track that came up for me, Almost Always, was much easier on the ears, vocally.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Yeah, that's the first track on the album, there are more tracks like that.
It's the dream pop side of the album, although the background is pretty noisy at times.
The piano part on that track is a pretty big contrast with my SOTW, yet they're on the same album

Nice one, just a beautiful song (nice movie too)

OBLIVION ...?
Nothing leads = O
Best = B ???
violin = LIVION smashed = oblivion
I don't think I've got the method quite right, but hopefully the end result is!

I like what you did,
But I think that nothing = OBLIVION and smashed is an anagram indicator. "Leads to" indicates the first letter of "best" perhaps.

Leads to is plural, so the beginning letters of both Our and Best

You got the rest of it, so you get partial credit (and upvote) for that.
The way I planned it was:
Nothing
leads to our best OB
violin VIOLIN
being smashed (anag)
OBLIVION
Well done!

I'll give it to you, because you got the right word - OBLIVION - so you are up tomorrow.: thumbsup:

So I'll give partial credit (and upvotes) to the other two as well!

I don't think it was easy, at least as a non native speaker it's rare to hear/read that word. I read it only once in my lifetime, in a (terrible) meme.

Trying not to give spoilers ... but it's a pretty common word in my house!

If you look here it's one of the recommended starting words
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

I'm doing quite well using DAISY or EARLY in the starting words.
I'm obviously mosre interested in finding good starting words than the game itself
