Oh, more than one person ranking the music this year? Even more fun!

azuarc, is the plan to do three matches per day? Also, will you start doing ToC matches right off the bat, or will you wait until later on? (Just asking so I can make an accurate "Week 1 Listening Playlist")

And if you've already clicked the bracketmaker link, then you've noticed that I have a little extra surprise for you.
ToC2 is what killed my soul and turned my hopeful joy into bitter ashes. why would you do this to me.

dammit Desire Blue Sky's placement. 3 of my noms in B2 including 2 in the same fourpack aaaaaaaaa.oh my god cloche and battle 2 (YAS) in the same fourpack cancel this bracket. 3 noms in the same eightpack in C1 (and Merciless Savior also in C1; No other noms in all of C) dammit bracket a left me with some faint optimism we could evade this fate. apex of the world v onboro r1 fml.

let's see toc3 can't be nearly as- hidra heteromycin v servants of the scourge r1 *close tab*

Okay, cool.

Week 1 Listening
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtm-5nTauRmF1ccGc8lV4QTAqbeRE4vcf

What exactly is the weekly listening? It's a playlist of all the songs for the first (etc.) week of the contest (in this case, the first 21 matches). Every week I will create a new playlist for the next set of upcoming matches. I put all the ToC matches at the end of the playlist, as many of you already know all of that music by heart.

What exactly is the point? To provide a more convenient way to listen to the music pertaining to (edit: my grammar sucks) the closest upcoming matches. I like to be familiar with the music prior to the actual matches in order to make my judgment (votes) of the music as fair as possible. In many cases, it takes multiple listens over multiple days for me to fully grasp (and remember) the music. Music often "grows" on me on subsequent listens, too. I just play this in the background as I do my online activities, and soon I'm fully prepared for the upcoming matches!

If anyone finds this useful, let me know over the next few days and I'll keep doing it. Otherwise, I'll assume nobody is using it and I'll keep the weekly playlist for myself only!

Went through Bracket A just now, the toughest quadrant by far for me was quadrant 4



Fear not this night vs Megaraph Fleet(Spark) was such a tough call, both songs are amazing.

Just went through bracket B. Initial thoughts...

Much much weaker than bracket A... most songs were not that good. Much easier for me to make my favorite picks.

If Bracket A was about an 8.8/10 in strength, bracket B was a 3.6/10 in strength. How do these Celeste and Terraria songs keep making it in year after year?

Bracket C thoughts:

Much stronger than bracket B, loved a lot of songs in there, particularly in quadrant 4. If I had to rate the strength of the brackets so far, I would go Bracket A = 8.7/10 strength, Bracket B= 3.6/10 strength, Bracket C= 8.1/10 strength.

I had a though time deciding between some of the heavy hitters in quadrant 4, like ChroniclesSeven, Outer Wilds, Stargazer, and Another Winter. None of these songs I had heard before. I ultimately went with Another Winter, just an epic song.

Bracket D analysis:

Weak, weak bracket. 3 or 4 goods songs at most, I think the weakest overall bracket. 3.2/10

Memories Rushing by surprised me, it is a song I have never heard of, but came out of nowhere to win this bracket.

ToC predictions!

Overall the right side of the bracket was much stronger, Autumn for me was the easy winner from the left side.

The right side has HEAVY HEAVY hitters, like Sunshine Coastline, New World Order, Rivers in the Desert. Ultimately I went with New World Order to make the finals.

In the finals, I had Autumn vs New World Order. I struggled for a good 30 min listening to both songs. Autumn is a beautiful song that just has so much replay value. But ultimately I went with New World Order because it was a little more epic.

New World Order > Autumn in the finals

Made some adjustments after hearing songs again at the guessing game, but they didn't end up being as significant as I thought. My favoured retirees (bracket winners in bold):

Scourge of the Universe
The world of spirit
Flightless
Snake Eater
Desert
Confronting Myself
Frey's Philosophy
Saudade
Love Scope
Looking Up at the Sky
Taliyah, the Stoneweaver
Licht
Apex of the World
Fire Island Volcano
Scrap I/O
Blue Skies (Infinity Remix)

If I can just see any two of these retire, I'd be very happy!!!
