Dang, I procrastinated...guess I'll just briefly listen to each song for first impressions to help fill out the more unknown songs for a favorites bracket, and only give them a full listen for the contest itself. Though I should probably extend the courtesy of a full listen to the first few songs since they'll be in action tonight.

And quick impression: Shit, man, Movin' Out vs. Hidra Heteromycin in Round 1? That's cruel! But no contest; Hidra Heteromycin it is, and goddamnit you'd better run BOST this year because seeing how well the Ar Tonelico/Ar Nosurge tracks have tended to be received, there has to be something on the Stella Glow soundtrack that people would like and I need to figure out what it is. Based on EXEC_LINCA/. only having a single 1st-round exit, though, I think there are a few songs I can rule out, though I'll reconsider that if it somehow goes on a run this year.

Other thoughts: Why did we nom Kolima Forest, anyway? I got on board because I'm a huge Golden Sun fan, but it's a kind of dull track imo. Also...I didn't really expect to like Seymour Battle, seeing as how I remember voting for the original version in its eventual retirement round because I didn't really care that much for its opponent, but would have much rather seen that song return for future contests than Seymour Battle. I remember being told that that's not the reason you're supposed to vote for something to retire, but that was my reasoning--I wanted it out of the contests. I kind of see where I might have disliked part of it, but...actually, I guess I can see why I might have liked it less when it wasn't HD. ...That said, I think I still prefer its first-round opponent.
