PC Building Simulator: IT Expansion - Immortal
League of Legends - Nilah, the Joy Unbound
CHUNITHM STAR - World Vanquisher (album extended)

MATCH 1

Immortal was a really cool discovery! My tastes in VGM often lean very heavily Japanese, but a lot of non-VGM songs I listen to are actually nothing like that and resemble this song more. In fact, indie rock is a bucket that I'd put a lot of songs I really like into, and Immortal is a good example of things I like from this genre. Mainly, the melody, but on top of thatand forgive me if I'm using this word wrongthere's at times a countermelody between the vocals and the guitar that I really like to hear in songs in general. For example, in the chorus at 1:01. Maybe that's not a true example of that term, I don't know, but by this, I mean two overlapping and distinct melodies, which I think that part suffices as an example. This song kind of reminds me of Disappear Always by Wild Nothing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TKEWann5o8) which comes off an album, Nocturne, that I'd say is probably my number one favorite indie rock album.

Paranoid veers too much into dissonant chords/melodies territory for my tastes, unfortunately.

MATCH 2

Nilah's pretty solid overall. Most of it is in that territory of "good, but not amazing," but I have to highlight 1:00-1:15 as a big standout because I really dig this fast-paced chanting kind of thing. I guess it appeals to the side of me that likes folky-sounding things.

I like most of Beat the Diamonds, with 0:27-0:53 being a weak point of the song. 0:54 to the loop point is a nice peak for the song.

MATCH 3

Superior Probe - Underworks isn't bad, but not really anything that stands out to me about it. I guess atmospherically, it's kind of cool, but I'd prefer something that appeals to me more melodically, but that's just not really the kind of song this is, as far as I can tell. Which is okay, of course! Just not something I get much out of, like I said.

I like the piano in World Vanquisher. Not my ideal kind of rhythm song, but it's pretty cool for what it is and more than enough to pick in this match.
