Game: Nier: Automata

thanks for doing this nomination-- I think it's a tough nomination to come to any general agreement with

Wanted to give some opinions/input on it-- I really like this soundtrack.
-Possessed by Disease is my favourite track on the soundtrack, and I think it's pretty unique and interesting among NieR soundtrack picks. I know deo and mycro (who have already posted) also like this track a lot. (On the other hand I think pyre isn't big on the vocal style of this, so I know it's not universally loved)
-Two other tracks I really like personally are City Ruins -Shade- and Memories of Dust. The latter is already there, which is cool. City Ruins would probably be popular? I think pyre likes this one, judging by his use of it in a list.
-I like Alien Manifestation as well! I'm glad it made the list.
-This is a statement with no real basis but-- I'm not totally convinced by 'vgmc retiree' Amusement Park's strength. I wonder what would happen if the vgmc12 bracket was re-run with the current crowd. (It also isn't a track I especially like on that soundtrack so it could be personal bias talking.) (Random aside on this-- if we're using previous vgmc results as a gauge of strength, isn't this a strong argument for something like Emil - Despair, or Song of the Ancients - Atonement? I only notably like the latter, but just following a thought process)
-I don't especially love Weight of the World either! But it's the main vocal song and a lot of other people like it, I'm pretty sure. I also don't love Dependent Weakling-- I actually feel it to be pretty unremarkable in the NieR soundtrack context.
-This is a big soundtrack a fair amount of variety. I like Vague Hope (the Cold Rain version in particular-- kinda gives me the same mood as Kaine - Salvation from the original NieR)! Copied City! Bipolar Nightmare! The list goes on. rwlh likes Pascal (so do I, for that matter). pyre likes Forest Kingdom, I think (that's a cool track too!).
-Thanks for going through this aimless ramble. In the end, this is your nomination and you don't have to take any of this into account but I just wanted to share some of what makes this soundtrack special to me.
