(+) Yeah! (+)

Planet Wisp (Act 1)
Out of Tartarus
Class::CIEL_N_PROTECTA;

match 3 is very close; i can imagine myself flipping upon re-evaluation

1. linkage-alter
2. Discovery
--- 3. Planet Wisp (Act 1) ---
4. Collapsed Expressway
5. Soaring Through Azure Sadness
--- 6. Out of Tartarus ---
--- 7. Class::CIEL_N_PROTECTA; ---
--- 8. Foregone Destruction ---
9. National Park
--- 10. Heartless Being ---
--- 11. The Rain Formerly Known As Purple ---
12. Nefertiti (Ver.MMXI)

for the record the whole top 10 is 7.x+ tier. unbalancedly good start so far for this ranking

also i'm still not going to look back until the end of r2 but i'm near certain this is noticeably different from how i ranked it all before hahaha

(also i'll go back to the much less space-hogging format once the ranking gets too big; but listing it this way for now)

Hi, surprise, I can't believe I'm doing this but I'm changing my Match 3 vote to

Class::CIEL_N_PROTECTA;

Ultimately, Foregone Destruction is... It's fine, but it just feels a bit plain to me, and while it's got a fairly cool aura sound to it, it never really goes anywhere for me. Ciel 'n Protecta on the other hand feels more musically interesting to me in the places it goes. And there is...something I actually do like about the weird coding chants it does. The only problem is the main singing, y'know, the whole main focus of the song, which -Really- hurts. But somehow right now I'm not as intensely opposed to that main singing as I was in Round 1, and balancing all the factors and stuff I do feel like I'm enjoying listening through Ciel & Protecta more than I am with Foregone Destruction today, oops. Sorry to fans of FD, hopefully this won't change the outcome of this match or anything!

Match 1 is cruel, but I will be happy with either winner.

Out of Tartarus gets better with every listen I swear, but it'll take a lot to me personally to overcome Heartless Being I think.

Forgone Destruction is a weird one in that I will probably end up listening to it a lot more than it's competition based solely on how well it helps me focus, but in the end, Class::CIEL_N_PROTECTA; sticks more in my mind.

and here's the order of my total rankings for R2 so far!

Discovery (1/12)
Planet Wisp (Act 1) (2/12)
The Rain Formerly Known As Purple (3/12)
Soaring Through Azure Sadness (4/12)
Collapsed Expressway (5/12)
Heartless Being (6/12)
Class::CIEL_N_PROTECTA; (7/12)
National Park (8/12)
Out of Tartarus (9/12)
linkage-alter (10/12)
Foregone Destruction (11/12)
Nefertiti (Ver.MMXI) (12/12)

a strong R2 so far, none of these songs are ones I'd outright avoid by a mile. I'll figure out what I'm doing with how I format these. And I'll be sure ro trim when it gets too long.

almost forgot already this is going well

but feel very strongly about the first two two outstanding songs that will hurt to choose between should they both win
