Mars
A CYBER'S WORLD?
Abstract Map

Both from Match 1 have strong openings, but I like Mars as the song goes on more. I enjoy D&B, but I am not the target audience for Move Me and no matter how often I listen to it it just doesn't stick with me, unlike Cyber's World. For match 3, I am trying to remind myself and others that it's a FRIENDLY COMPETITION and not spite-vote my nomination killer but Abstract Map is an acceptable chill vibe to replace what I got from Blue Orb. This Fire Emblem track, meanwhile, just... doesn't do it for me as much as, say, Don't Speak Her Name did (or Conquest would've, if it were in.)

There was definitely room for a "world map" pun today but most of those songs were the wrong choice

*I'm still slightly bitter towards MAD LAST WORLD for killing one of my favorite songs, but I won't hold that against it.* MAD LAST WORLD is a fine song, and I can see the appeal, though it doesn't really stick with me. Mars is pretty cool throughout. I like it more with each listen. Easy vote for Mars.

Move Me's best part is the outro, the rest just isn't for me. Way too much repetition. A CYBER'S WORLD? is such a fun and catchy song. This one's an even easier vote for A CYBER'S WORLD?.

Abstract Map is just plain cool in its soundscape and production. Twilight of the Gods is good, but it doesn't stand out to me. The best part is the violin solo in the middle. The rest is just a standard Fire Emblem map theme to me, which isn't a bad thing. It definitely doesn't beat Abstract Map though.

Pretty good day other than MAD LAST WORLD and Move Me.
