Match 1: Invitation of the Butterfly
I'm still a bit upset the Monster Hunter Clone got music in, but Monster Hunter didn't. Still a better song than the other one though. Match 2: Scrum Debate Scrum Debate is just pure hype. The other song just isn't doing it for me. Side Bracket: Zinogre Theme Monster Hunter has the best music. Although I will admit the other song was actually pretty dece and it wasn't a stomp like I thought it would. I actually really liked it. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Invitation of the Butterfly - Living Mice is kinda sorta pretty I guess? Butterfly's very good though, even if I'm not as into it as I used to be.
Scrum Debate - While I came to like RftM better after a couple years, I've never stopped thinking TBIYTC is shit. SD is a very repetitive and limited song, but I love that little piece of music that repeats a lot anyway. Main Theme - I feel like I should like Zinogre better here, but it just keeps going nowhere. Main Theme is at least interesting throughout. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Invitation of the Butterfly
The Best Is Yet To Come Zinogre Theme I still don't know why I like Invitation of the Butterfly so much. Given what's happening in it, I should hate it. Chaotic, nonsensical vocals. Rapid, ridiculous changes in tone and instrumentation. Weird rhythmic things that Mycro will certainly detail. Yet it continues to be one of my favorite gems I discovered through VGMC. I'm not even gonna talk about its competition since it's a classic case of "something fascinating vs. something drab." Hey look, Danganronpa did something uninspired and unoriginal that I've seen/heard a lot before. What a surprise. And as usual, it's worse than what it seeks to imitate. Meanwhile, The Best Is Yet to Come has classical-style vocals. As a former classical/opera vocalist, I have to vote for it, especially against the utter disappointment it opposes. Side bracket match is pretty good. I'd take either over the losers in the main bracket matchups. --- E come vivo? Vivo! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Invitation of the Butterfly - Here's what I was talking about in the Zestiria song a few days ago. I'm absolutely crazy for that indecipherable chattering vocal craziness, and the utilization of the violin is just delicious. Minecraft song... exists. I think? Are you sure that mouse ain't dead?
Scrum Debate - Is it better? Probably not. But I'm a sucker for Scrum Debate, whoops. Zinogre Theme - I went in this totally expecting to pick Zinogre... turns out I don't like Zinogre as much as I used to. Still the better song though. quick and easy today ... Copied to Clipboard!

Invitation of the Butterfly
Scrum Debate Main Theme Weak day. I don't like any of the four songs in the main bracket a ton. I think Invitation of the Butterfly is probably the best, but I'm very iffy on it still. As far as the side bracket, Main Theme is generally my thing, though it's not as good as I'd really like. I didn't enjoy its opponent though so it still got the point. --- Just killing time until the world ends. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Invitation of the Butterfly
Scrum Debate Zinogre Theme This may be the weakest day so far. -First match: IotB is good, although there's something I feel about it that makes me think it's lacking potential. I like the vocals, though. Living Mice, on the other hand... How did such a "meh" song get in the actual contest? At least this shows that people are pacient enough to stand 30 seconds of silence in the beginning and another 20 in the end, while also NOT getting bored in the process, which is kind of good I think...?. -Second match: Scrum Debate seems like one of those typical songs you'd hear in a nightclub (not that I've ever been to one, but I get the idea...). The Best is Yet to Come is not so really for my liking. -Third match: Wow, a pretty epic song! But sadly, it's against a weak jazz song.

Living Mice
Scrum Debate Zinogre Theme Now that I listen to it again Invitation of the Butterfly kinda feels like something Go Shiina would write for a Tekken soundtrack-- but God Eater 2 overall had a lot more electronic elements than the first so I guess it fits. This actually doesn't do a whole lot melodically but goes through a grab bag of different styles and synths which is neat, though I don't like all of them. One thing I liked was the parts when the violin is put through some weird stutter and filter effects (especially on the second go-round, where at times it almost sounds like some sort of auto-tuned harmonica). Heck, I think even the wub-wub section that follows afterward uses a heavily distorted version of that same violin! Cool. I was going to crack a joke about how the beginning of the track was pleasant but when was the music going to show up but what actually did show up is startlingly pretty. I get a strong sense of nostalgia from this-- some combination of the sound design and the slightly wistful melody really evokes that feeling for me. (It's not from the direct context of the game-- I never played Minecraft!) I dunno-- there's nothing that jumps out at me but this track is really hitting the right buttons for me today. Scrum Debate feels like something I wouldn't normally like much-- a hyper-repetitive musical figure played with fairly straightforward synths-- but I enjoy this track a lot, actually, from the siren/alarm-like glissando synths that promise a big drop at the beginning to the driving urgency of the track as it shifts the layers underneath the main melody. The Best Is Yet To Come. I sure hope so. I don't mind the elegiac, almost hymnal feel of the opening, or the icy mood laid out of the flute and wind effects immediately afterward, but the follow-through always felt pretty uninspired to me (defeating the title of the track!). The first time I heard Zinogre's Theme I was not exactly in a state to enjoy it-- too busy frantically dodging a whirlwind of stomps and tail slams-- but it's a fun, nicely-arranged track that does a good job evoking a struggle against a wild beast. The Sexy Brutale's theme is a pretty fun electroswing track. I, uh, don't have much more to say about it. I just like electroswing, I guess. ... Copied to Clipboard!
