- No alt accounts, no rallying or begging, etc., etc.... You only get one vote! Swapping votes is alright, just make clear that you've already made a vote and are swapping.
- Make clear what your voting options are! Please keep votes separate from any comments, and use the titles given in the topic post.
- Voting in all matches is not mandatory, feel free to skip matches you do not wish to vote in.
- Vote based on the links provided, and not other sources of audio. Links are specifically chosen for best quality and the like.
- Don't discuss vote tallies in this thread, or in other threads, as they may influence votes. Likewise, please refrain from looking at the running tally before voting.

Indignant Divinity
Kill Command
Battle - b2

First match was a tough one. Remember Me was up first and it was really good; I didn't think Indignant Divinity would have what it took to get my vote, seeing the short run time and simplistic art. I was wrong. Banger.

I remember Kill Command being in previous VGMCs and I don't think I was a fan, but I'll of course need my memory jogged. Time isn't very good, though, so it might get my vote even if my memory was correct. Which it was and it did.

Break the Limit! is also one I remember being in previous VGMCs, and I remember thinking it was okay, but if Battle - b2 hasn't been in any previous VGMCs, it wouldn't be for lack of trying on my part. Unless I was trying to nominate the other boss theme instead. I can never remember, or decide when listening to them back to back, which one of SMTIV's boss themes I like more.

Indignant Divinity > Remember Me > Battle - b2 >>>>> Break the Limit! >>>>>>>>> Kill Command >>> Time

Technically it's a 1/3/5 day, but the top three are all close and #4 is still closer to #1 than to #5. Match 2 just sucked.

Remember Me is just awesome. I always love these type of synths. Indignant Divinity is just not my thing at all. Lots of obnoxious elements, and very little that sounds good to me. The extremely short loop is a big detractor as well. Extremely easy vote for me here.

Time is pretty solid R&B stuff. It doesn't have enough variation to be really good though. Still good enough to beat Kill Command, which is kind of a mess of good elements, without a lot of structure to them. The best part of Kill Command is the trumpet solo at 3:53.

Break the Limit! is a mixed bag for me. Good piano and strings, but not great choirs or brass. Battle - b2's mix is so muddy that it's extremely hard to appreciate it. Not a huge fan of either song here, but the advantage goes to Break the Limit!.

Kind of a weak day today tbh. Remember Me is the only really good track in this set.

Votes:
