Caravan Stories - Bunwaii Desert
Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky - Colony Collapse Disorder
NieR - The Wretched Automatons

MATCH 1

Bunwaii Desert's a song I thought of nominating myself in the past, so I'm very happy to see it in the contest this year! I love the bouncy rhythm of the percussion, and the melody from the flute and strings is really great too. Another song with some phenomenal harmonic depth with all the layers of instruments in it. I think I'd put this song at maybe third or fourth best in Bracket B.

I don't care for the verses of My Alien Girlfriend all that much, but the chorus at 1:01 is really cool! Some interesting melodic lines in the vocals and synths.

MATCH 2

Colony Collapse Disorder is my second-favorite song in Bracket B! I love how frenzied this song gets. 0:16-0:26 is just one example of this. But really, I love everything about this song.

Highland Fields is sort of a mix of stuff I like and things that are kind of meh. Starting with the positives, 0:25-0:31 is kind of nice, and 1:02-1:23 is pretty cool too. But I don't really like the melody from 0:13-0:24. Also, overall, I'm not a huge fan of how the instruments sound. I'd rather they sound more...I don't know, natural? I can't tell what exactly my issue is with the sound, but all I can say is that I'd rather the instruments sound more like Bunwaii Desert's.

MATCH 3

I like the funkiness of DESIRE. Though the more I hear that brass loop, the more I wish it was a little quieter.

Emi Evans' vocals in The Wretched Automatons is super good! They always are in Nier songs, but the melody here and the echo-y sound of the vocals really makes this song stand out to me.
