Field of Hopes and Dreams
Escaping the Courtyard Garden

Match 1:

FoH&D is a pretty well-rounded piece with a catchy beat and many facets to it as well, whereas DNHC is the one song here that doesn't seem to follow many conventional musical standards and seems like it's the one not composed by a professional musician, but succeeds on sounding good anyway. This seemed like a close match for me at first, but the winner is pretty clear after further comparison.

Quite a black-and-white case right here as well, huh? Playful and cheery song vs. song from the depths of hell.

Match 2:

As time passes on and on, I still can't believe I'm in the exact opposite position from one year ago. Instead of loathing Rhythm Thief, I'm actually rooting for it rather easily, and maybe more than ever since it's an actual good song that I feel is in trouble because of who it's facing.

Now, don't get me wrong. EXSPHERE takes a neat concept that I think could have an extremely awesome potential; the problem is... it stays at that, potential. I can't possibly have a good point of comparison with this particular song aside from... Jet Moto 2's Nebulous concept of contrasting peaceful violins (for Heaven) with heavy metal (for Hell); however, even that case isn't an actual mix of both things in one song, but rather two separate compositions that you listen to one at a time, even though you switch fragments of each one back and forth upon entering and exiting each area. What I'm trying to say is that, despite EXSPHERES's awesome concept, the execution leaves much to be desired, and I feel that it just gets away with it because it's unique in what it does (or tries to do).
