Will/want, bracket D:










Welcome to today's topic for Video Game Music Contest 14, a tournament of the best tracks from games, as decided upon by you, the voters.

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!

Partizans (Low 9 -> Steady) / Endeavour (Mid 5 -> Low 9)

Yyyyeeeeeeppppppp. What a tweest.

Will we ever, find forever? Never say never.

Endeavour buried its way into my head yesterday morning, and now I can't get this song out of my head now. Help. Please.

Moonstruck Blossom (Low 8 -> Steady) / The Filthy Mind (Theme of the Hive Mind) (High 8 -> Steady)

Okay look here dum pink ball. Your song is great, but pls stop killing all my highly rated stuff. This is potentially the fifth straight round now lol.

Endeavour
Moonstruck Blossom

Match 1 is close because I think both songs are amazing to almost equal extents; and i am likely to flip as a result. but I did spend a lot of time thinking about my preference and came to the conclusion i prefer partizans.......and yet i'm voting endeavour. endeavour is hard to judge because its such a recent "new favorite" and it's also grown on me over the course of the contest. partizans is something I'd expect to like more on paper, it does so so many things I love in the same song, part of one of my favorite game soundtracks; but I find myself coming back to endeavour way more

Match 2 is "not close" but there's indecision involved for very different reasons. My opinion on Filthy Mind specifically is very...jumpy, not consistent. I like it, but I can never decide whether i like it because I like it or if i just think it's a song that i 'should like because i like that style of song usually'. With moonstruck blossom though, it is never a question that I love the song; no matter what style i'm in the mood for i will find things in it that appeal to me

11. Opoona - Partizans
vs.
8. Idola Phantasy Star Saga - Endeavour

Endeavour really really clicked for me on the relisten in a way I don't think it had before. The catchy chorus is actually my least favorite part - I definitely prefer the verses and the sparse beginning. I like Partizans too, though I have a clear preference.

-

12. Kirby Triple Deluxe - Moonstruck Blossom
vs.
16. Terraria Calamity - The Filthy Mind (Theme of the Hive Mind)

I don't love either of these. Bracket B was overall the weakest bracket for me. That said, I still voted for Moonstruck Blossom three times, and now I'm voting for it a fourth time. I even voted for Filthy Mind once! Ah, Bracket B.

Vote:
Endeavour
The Filthy Mind (Theme of the Hive Mind)

Match 2 songs are adjacent in my ranking! (yes I did put all the songs in order) I was really liking Moonstruck today, but Filthy Mind is just a more comfortable listen genre-wise so it's hard to close the already sizeable gap.

Endeavour
Moonstruck Blossom


favourite part:
-partizans: the thick hypersaw bass synth. starting from 0:54, it really kicks it into high gear and it has a blast for the rest of the track. 1:50 into the loop is also very nice, a cool-off before starting the determined final area feel all over again.
-endeavour: the WHOLE THING but no seriously I actually really like the shaylee sections. the piano chords into the introduction of the dramatic strings into the trumpets is just a really cool ramp-up, and 4:24 has some nice vocal chords (as opposed to vocal cords) with the percussion coming back in shortly after.
-moonstruck blossom: 0:08 to 0:41. just wonderful. what an intro.
-the filthy mind: probably the flute part at 0:48! I mentioned that in round 3 too, I think.

I really had to give that first match more time and relistens than I thought I'd need. Partizans was really working for me today. And unfortunately, I'm all too aware of the match totals right now.
