414: AZUSA CHIBA - LUWIERAS FOREST:

https://youtu.be/zzzP8MZQEF0

Nominator: Haste_2 (9/19)
Source: Hastes Extra Nominations (5/7)

Initial Score: 51.37 [#362]
Revised Score: 55.58 [#357]
Final Score: 52.23 [#414]

(First Thoughts: Not bad, but largely unremarkable.)

You know how it is; good song that doesnt make me think of anything particular, leaving it firmly in the realm of pleasant background music that doesnt leave a strong enough impression for a great score.

[For todays space filling song, lets go with some commercial jingles]

Mario Bros. [Atari]:

Not a particularly obscure commercial (its strange enough that a fair number of people have seen it), but its still potentially worth revisiting.

Luigi calling for help and trying to find his brother is strangely on point for a commercial that long, long predates any types of characterization for Luigi.

The production values are surprisingly not bad for a random commercial:; a full set, multiple enemies, reasonably recognizable costume (sure, he looks more like Mario than Luigi, but Luigi was literally just green Mario at the time), its pretty neat.

The parody of the Car 54 intro is inexplicable, but actually kinda works?

I dunno, it seemed interesting enough to mention.

[Final Thoughts: Its still a nice song and still doesnt inspire any actual reactions, Im afraid.]

413: LIVE - SUSQUEHANA:

https://open.spotify.com/track/0uh7gwxo82X6YioOclGkba

Nominator: azuarc (22/28)
Source: Throwing Copper (12/15)

Initial Score: 51.49 [#360]
Revised Score: 55.65 [#356]
Final Score: 52.30 [#413]

(First Thoughts: [this space left blank])

This is an odd nomination. The original release of Throwing Copper had 14 songs on it. The 25th anniversary added three extra tracks, including this one. azuarcs playlist had the 14 original songs & this one extra track.

...why just one of three bonus tracks? Nominating the original version of the album as it was meant to be heard makes sense. Nominating the extended version to get in as many songs as possible makes sense. Having just one extra song seems odd. (I know azuarc didnt create the playlist himself, but I question the person who did make it.)

Aaanywho.... the song is alright. The lyrics are that kind of vaguely almost philosophical rambling: Hard to bleed a wall when the bricks and sand are YOU! Is... its something, alright. I find it more comical than philosophical, but if the song works for you, then great.

[Final Thoughts: Well, I guess it kinda makes sense for this to have been the only extra track. It was written for the album, so you could argue that things are more complete with it included? Either way, the song is performed well (have I mentioned I like their poppier songs enough times yet?), but the lyrics arent working for me on any level.]
