[There are some high points, but theyre not enough to carry an over twelve minute long love song. Also, while its not your fault, this video plays an ad in the middle of the song... Im going to have to try to find a Spotify link or something to hear this song without interruption.]

I didn't hold it against the song, but I did switch to Spotify for all future listens to the song. Not sure it's fair for me to improve the link myself, but I think it'd be more unfair to judge the song with an ad playing during it.

Song isn't bad. I do like how it's broken into multiple distinct phases, but it results in a very long song... I'm into it for the first seven minutes, but have largely lost interest by the second set of lyrics. Too slow, too sappy. Sure, the song picks back up again shortly, but by that point I just want it over. (The last part feels repetitive, but I'll concede that I may be too biased against it to fairly judge.)

I don't dislike the song and have enough respect for what it tries to do that I find it above average, but...

[Final Thoughts:

1.I'm pretty sure this marks the first song where I actively used a different link than the provided one. There are a few others, but this is the only one to be changed due to being interrupted with commercials.

2.I like the intro part, Encounter, quite a bit. The quasi-futuristic beeping in the opening make it sound like a totally different song than it winds up being and the singing is reminding me of some other song or artist. I want to say it's like a deeper voiced version of the Alan Parsons Project or something? I can't fully place it, but the sound is oddly nostalgic for a band I'm pretty sure I've never heard of before this ranking. I'm just not really into the other two sections of the song; I understand what they were going for, I'm just not a fan.

3.With this elimination, I believe that leaves Mycro as the only 15/15 entrant remaining.

(7.1, 7, 5.2)

[I watched Angel Beats several years ago, but I dont recall any songs like this. Good song, wish it werent so short.]

At 1:40 this is far from the shortest song on the list, but I feel it really needs another minute or so. By the time I start to get into this song, it's already ending.

[Final Notes: It is good, just too short to ever really get engrossed in. And yes, I'm fully aware of how it looks cutting one song for being too long and then immediately cutting one for being too short in the next write-up.]

====================

And the list of songs I'm refusing to eliminate continues to grow, as we picked up a fifth today.
