In the Blood has some great grungy e-guitars. The vocal mix is a bit weird, making the vocals feel a bit too echo-y to me. I also am uncertain on if the brass adds or detracts from the song. It could probably do without it regardless. Still a great song, just like most of the Hades soundtrack.

Kill Command has some nice solos throughout. Particularly the Rhodes solo towards the beginning, the e-guitar one shortly afterwards, the trumpet one after the midpoint, and the last trumpet one towards the end. There is some pretty nice instrumentation in this otherwise. It is a bit too long and kind of aimless structurally for me to like it more though, so In the Blood gets the edge here.

I like the piano in Break the Limit! as well as the strings. The choirs aren't my favorite though. It's a pretty solid melody overall. Good song, but it's definitely not gonna beat its competition.

Make This Right was one of my favorite discoveries during noms. I may have to check out the rest of the Furi soundtrack at some point as well. Very cool synths throughout. The vocal samples also add a lot to it. Including a cello in this type of track is pretty unique and welcome as well. Best part is the buildup from 3:36 and the climax at 3:55. Easy vote for this one.

Battle - b2 is pretty cool with the instrument choices it uses, particular with the metallic percussion used. The mix is pretty poor however. Kinda makes it hard to focus on the appropriate instruments that carry the melody. It significantly takes away from what's otherwise a pretty neat song.

E.SYNAPSE is one of my favorite BR2 songs (A Hopeful Astraea is really the only one that I like significantly more. RIP to that one). Really love the melody and synths used in this. Nice violins and piano as well. And the mix is pretty good, which give it a significant edge over Battle - b2. Actually quite surprised that this one lost by as much as it did. Really thought it'd perform better.

Really solid day with no bad songs except for the awful mixing on Battle - b2.
