Nier Automata: Vague Hope (Cold Rain)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xat7mhoKTLQ
ooh automata, and a track I actually haven't heard! this thumbnail doesn't look like cold rain. hi emi evans. some of these nonsense words sound pretty weird. ooh 1:01! wait what kinda cutoff point is that!!!
Score: 776
Most songs from this soundtrack would be an instant 800+, but I don't really find this one interesting, even during the busier sections with the pretty chords. Instrumentation is nice enough, but the words just don't sound as good as other songs. I think it's the consonant sounds I don't like? Comments say she based this song's lyrics on Hebrew; doesn't sound like a language I'd want to learn!

Katamari Damacy - Katamari on the Rocks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhKMDjfToEc
hey this was in a guessing game, I already forgot how it sounded though...should really know it by now. very cool sounds. CHOO CHOO CHOO-ROO CHOO CHOO CHOO-CHOO-RO DON'T WORRY DO YOUR BEST. ok now I had no idea what they're saying. wait that was the game title.
Score: 822
Really fun song with lots of positive energy! I love the trumpets and bongo-like drums driving the rhythm. Vocals kinda weird but I can see them growing on me. Feels like it fits the Katamari Damacy aesthetic really well, filling you with a carefree bounce to go explore the wondrous world out there. Will definitely come back to this as I see potential for the rating to go higher.

Street Fighter II - Guile's Theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hd9rS23qxdA
hey another song I know, don't think it's the same version though. very groovy bass. hey this is actually good and I never realized. nice melody!
Score: 792
I've been missing out, I always dismissed this as a meme and never took the time to give it a proper listen! I guess a lot of songs become memes precisely because they are good. It's got a real solid melody in the high synths and cool drum fills as well. I remember liking the Smash Ultimate remix during BOST, so that might be a version with modern instruments that I'd actually enjoy a lot.

Final Fantasy XIV - Fate Boss Theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9yKegOT02g
oh is this what ff14 looks like what. this sounds older than the year it's from. ok short loop
Score: 732
I do like the general feel of an RPG battle theme, it just feels like a very "safe" composition that doesn't do much outside of very standard things. The electric guitars also sound washed-out, this might just be a low-quality upload or something. Solo violin is always nice, but sounds a little fake in this one. Are all the instruments just standard orchestral library samples and that's why it sounds low quality?!?

Terraria Calamity - sanctuary.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=BgLahg0wkGs
oh this game has songs other than boss themes...still 6 minutes though??? nice synth chords being weaved in and out. 1:48 is nice. sounds like a modernized dire dire docks
Score: 788
This is cool, it's very chill but not completely relaxing either. The in-and-out synths do a good job of making me think of floating up and down on the waves. I do think it's at its strongest from 1:48 until the loop, the synths in the middle sections don't quite fit with the other layers and the piano melody feels too simple. The boss themes are probably better for me - wait, is Crabulon the boss of this stage?! (update: apparently it only has the Giant Clam miniboss which doesn't get a theme)

If it's not too late

Baldr Sky - Easiness at Time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjfqtQjqmgQ
hey this just came out, guess you heard it in-game. this does not feel "easiness" it feels sad. whoa are those violas??? wait it sounds like a violin now. hi loop
Score: 726
It's hard to visualize the scene without context, and not even the comment section can save me! The two violins or whatever do sound nice together, especially when one goes up high at 1:27. I usually like sad emotional moods like this, but this song is a bit too simple for me to really appreciate.

EU4 - Ride Forth, Victoriously
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO_UqoIDJO0
eu? europa universalis? oh cool, I didn't expect a grand strategy game to have a song like this. 1:08 very cool vocals. oh no why is it a different song. is that backwards speech??? nice key change
Score: Hold on now, you missed the deadline by like 40 minutes! I'll give this a pass because it's a good song, but this better mean I get to vote late in one VGMC14 match!
Score: 839
I don't know what that was in the middle there, but this is a pretty awesome song to battle to! Choirs and electric guitar are always welcome, and I really like when the solo vocal line comes in. Big goosebump-worthy moments. It does feel like it stays on the same section for most of the song, but at least it's a good section and they did technically break it with that weird backwards talking thing.
