And here weve come, at last, to the creamiest of the croppiest: the 9+s. Everything from here on out is a potential VGMC support. I say potential because things can always shake out a little differently, but here Im at least open to everything.

I want to reiterate again how happy I am with the sheer quality of these songs. To have 22 new 9+s is huge. If youve gotten this far, I salute you.

Lets see how you did!

maimai DX BUDDiES - raputa

This must be the sibling of Apollo from last years VGMC, surely. Same composers, same style. raputa clears Apollo easily for me because its so much more consistent. Everything from the AAAAAAHHHH to the sped up parts (maybe signifying a rocket ship?) flows together so nicely; its also generally slower paced, allowing for more ideas to develop. My favorite part is 1:45, when those drums keep time very effectively.

Friday Night Funkin' Tricky Mod - Expurgation

This is intense! I said earlier that I tend to like FNF songs primarily for the vocals. While the vocals here (Boyfriend and somebody named Tricky) are solid, the beats are the primary selling points, very breakbeat and heavy on drums. I could probably put on an instrumental of this and enjoy it just fine, which is saying a lot for an FNF song. Although I do like the vocal flourishes, like at 2:15 when Tricky does some rapid, staccato breathing. And those of you who complain about Boyfriend being too high-pitched in fansongs may be pleased to know that hes at his normal range here.

Silent Hill 2 - Blank Fairy
Akira Yamaoka
https://youtu.be/EydQOWhM0SY

lol my note for this just says jesus CHRIST. Here is a song only a select few people in this community could love, and fortunately for Isquen, Im one of them. Blank Fairy is barely a song in the traditional sense; its almost entirely industrial noises, disturbing ones at that: whirring, cold wind, distant rumbling. The effect is intense and unpleasant, and I am all here for it. There isnt a lot to say about this one compared to some of the others at the top, but rest assured I appreciated this song a lot.

Void Stranger - Voided
eebrozgi & Eevamari

Voided is the song that probably had the highest climb up the ranks from start to finish. It was originally a 5.5! Can you imagine? Its such a perfect combination of futuristic spacey effects and piano and mysterious vocals. I have no idea what the song is actually about or what the context is, but I dont think I need those things. The overall vibe reminds of walking in on something unexpected that you absolutely should not see, or a feeling of being in over your head; those swelling synths throughout add to that feeling.
