Board 8 > VGMC11 day17: Amethyst Caves v Whereabouts of Life, In the Sky v Death by Glamor

(+) Yeah! (+)

Dammit, I did it again. I really need to stop doing things at 5 minutes to 10.


Welcome to today's topic for Video Game Music Contest 11, a tournament of the best tracks from games, as decided upon by you, the voters.

Rules:

- Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions you are not doing this, your vote may be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isn’t up by then.
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

Whereabouts of Light
Twelfth Chapter ~ In the Sky

Twelfth Chapter is such a brilliant troll and deserves more than two votes, so here

Whereabouts of Light
Death by Glamour
Blue Oni Theme

Honestly, I'm shocked Whereabouts of Light even managed to get into the contest at all. I know I've tried to nominate a ton of similar ones (meaning "sappy vocal pieces that play during the credits" in this context) in the past and I'm pretty sure the only one that ever stuck was Memories of You. It's especially weird because moreso than any other I've tried I feel like this one is dependent on people having played the game. Oh well guess I won't complain. Song is great so I'll vote for it.

Amethyst Caverns
Death By Glamour
Blue Oni Theme

WoL love confuses me. Also, I feel like Best of Times is not one of the best Goo songs.
---

'whereabouts of life' huh

Believe me, this is not why it's getting votes.
---

yeah I can understand Amethyst Caverns hate at least

Though I think it's a pretty solid song. Not one of the best Shatters, but solid.
---

I'd have voted Amethyst Caverns over literally anything from yesterday and half of the songs from two days ago, for the record.

Whereabouts of Light just that good.

LoH: Trails in the Sky - Whereabouts of Light

Whereabouts of Light
Twelfth Chapter ~ In the Sky
Best of Times

y'know I think twelfth chapter might actually be the best song today

and I actually did vote for most of the songs in today's poll ;_;
---

Whereabouts of Light
Death By Glamour
Best of Times

First match relatively great actually imo

Normally I'd be dishonest enough to shun an Undertale song here, but I cannot in good conscience vote for Twelth Chapter

idk about either song in the masters match tbh, they're both neat but could very much be better

LoH: Trails in the Sky - Whereabouts of Light
Drakengard - Twelfth Chapter ~ In the Sky
World of Goo - Best of Times

VGMC Masters actually kinda living up to its name for once and is a pretty great match.

In the Sky is genuinely the better song in the match and deserves 100% of the votes.

series of votes all ignoring the bonus match. Interesting.

Amethyst Caverns
Death By Glamour
Best of Times

man, all the past VGMC Drakengard songs have been so great. what happened here?
---

Whereabouts of Light
Death By Glamour
Blue Oni

Poor Amethyst Caverns. This isn't the best version of The Whereabouts of Light, but it's still love and I can't vote against it here. Same for Twelfth Chapter and Death By Glamour! Fortunately Blue Oni is just much better than Best of Times so no guilt voting one way or another there.
