Ultra Tornado: 4. It's short and doesn't leave much of an impression.

Crystal: Unranked. It's very close to...something. Like I can almost picture it--some really weird game that's somehow a cross between Chrono Trigger & Anodyne--but the images are too jumbled and glitchy to really make out.

...still, it's been a long time since I had any sort of experience like that, so this almost feels like the sort of thing Mycro might have nominated [EDIT: Or to be more precise "it makes me feel the type of way a song nominated by Mycro would"] and it's definitely a positive score... I just don't know exactly how positive. Under ideal conditions I'd come back to it a few times over the course of a month or two and have a few other similar songs to directly compare it to...

[EDIT: Well this was definitely the best song of the night, but I don't know if I'd take it over Kagome or not... let's stick with a vague "higher than 9" score.]



Yoruiro Trip: 8 and your guess why would probably be better than mine; I've listened to it three times in a row and have no particular idea why it's an 8. And you'd think listening to it three times in a row would imply that it's more than an 8, but I feel quite comfortable with that score.

Dreamless Dreams: 6.5. If there are other covers of this song, I think I'd like to hear them. I like some of the lyrics and I still like VIANKIE's voice, but there's some sort of disconnect for me somewhere where I feel like the score is lower than it should be.

Someone Like You (Cover): 4; credit for pulling off a completely English song and sounding natural with it, but I don't think I actually want to hear this song again regardless of who is performing it.

Dramaturgy: 3. Yeah, I like her. Yeah, I like some of these lyrics. No, I don't think the song really worked for her.

Kaf - Anata no Yoru ga Akeru Made: 6. No comment.

SALLA.R - Romance no Kamisama: 5.5. It's fine and I might be being a bit overly harsh on it.



Ghost in Every Town: 9.Something; it's higher than a regular 9, but lower than Kagome (9.7) so... somewhere in there. Great voice and the exact right amount of bleakness that I'm looking for.

Sweet Talk: 4; I don't think this sort of club music is really my thing and it has the extreme misfortune of having come up immediately following Ghost in Every Town & Crystal (I'm still alternating songs, even if I'm organizing the write-ups by poster for convenience)... I mean, it is nice to have something different, but... well, perhaps I'll give it another try some other day when it isn't immediately following two songs it can't possibly compete against.

Lights (Bassnectar Remix): [started at 3, then revised to a 4, then to a 5, then listened to again and went up to a 6.]; I really like the original version of Lights and I like very low tones like this remix adds, but I don't think I like them together like this... whenever she's singing, I'm reminded that I'd either prefer listening to the original or to an instrumental version of this.

Though remember that I completely hated the SiivaGunner version of Radical City the first time I heard it, but it went up to a 10 on repeated listens. It's possible this remix would also grow on me after I've had time to properly adjust to it--though there's obviously no way of telling.

*after listening to it again*

Yeah, it is starting to grow on me a bit already. Score ends at 6 for the moment.



Lesser Harm (Instrumental): 4. It feels Terminator-esque, doesn't it? This is the 'part of the movie where the killer robot appears unharmed after a large explosion' song, though it's not as oppressive or terror inducing as I'd like.

Soldiers of the Sea: 2. It might work better with context, but I know nothing of the game other than its premise, so this is just some sort of atmospheric background music with a lot of bell ringing. Which apparently is not a thing I like much.

RPD Track 1: 3.5 ; I do like atmospheric horror tracks, but this one isn't very oppressive. For a better example, try Wreckage of the Mad Experiment:

I'm not going to say it's an all-time favorite or anything (probably around a 7-ish), but I love the vibe it gives off. Perfect song to go with the title.

Pumping Iron Power: Well, it's definitely the best video of this topic and would be perfect gym music for a training montage, but I'm not really into muscles... 6.
