Rules:
- Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions your vote is not based on a fair and impartial preference, it will be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isnt up by then. (Matches do not begin until at least 10:00 EDT.)
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

Akeldama (Low 8, 62nd) / Credits (Mid 8, 42nd)
Dungeon - Geofront 4 (Mid 8, 46th) / Fire Island Volcano (Low 8, 63rd)

I originally didn't get Geofront, but somehow listening to ~1:08-2:00 a bunch of times made everything click into place for me for this song. I don't know how to explain it honestly. I guess hearing these sounds in a proper buildup instead of just throwing it in my face like at ~0:14-0:28 helped me appreciate them with enough listens to get over the beginning?

Either way I love it a lot now even if I don't know exactly why. It's my weirdest "just clicked" experience.

Akeldama
Fire Island Volcano

Second match is much, MUCH better than the first match! I'm not particularly thrilled that either Akeldama or Credits must retire.... if only Ra Melody, Least 333 Sec, Seto Kaiba or Ar-ciel Ar-manaf were here instead. Or better yet, one of Geofront 4 or Fire Island Volcano. Geofront 4 is really, really cool with all the rhythmic interactions, chords, mix of styles and sounds.... I like it more and more as time goes on. But Fire Island Volcano absolutely nails a primitive folk music style better than almost anything I've ever heard.... the energy of it is just insane.

i'm very decisive about these picks, but although they aren't tough choices, I'm still incredibly fond of their opponents. Especially Fire Island Volcano, was jamming out to that HARd during my listen today, still getting as much as always out of the insane startling stream of unpredictable chord changes in the latter bits. Too bad Fire Island Volcano is literally against my favorite piece of music of all time!!!! there are ZERO songs I would vote above Dungeon~Geofront 4!!!!!

Match 1 is very very hard, so hard in fact I don't really care about the outcome as I'd like to see both songs go forward.
Match 2 my reasoning a bit more silly lol. I just really like vuvuzela VGM, that's a funny concept.
