Very uplifting. Feels like it belongs in the ending scene of an anime or an artsy game, trying to mix classic melodrama with more modern music. I'm not too moved by it, but it's evocative, I'll give it that

Me!

Here, I've bolded people with a full set of 20 (or 26, in JB's case), and italicized people with 5 or less noms. Nobody has managed to escape this tier unscathed... with the exception of me, of course. For the record, I nominated a song that I had never heard before (and which didn't exist until after the contest started).

The pace is going to slow down from here on out. I'll be doing 10 songs/day for a while, with generally more detailed (but not necessarily more useful writeups). I'm fairly confident about the placement of these songs, though it isn't until we get to 8+ Personal scores that I've actually made a hard, comparative ranking of them all. Remember, we're now operating so that Deserved songs get a .5 bonus

Onto Tier "slorsp"!

7.5 (7.5/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq2vAaU-Kng
Good Mortal Kombat intro. It's certainly gothic. This isn't anything *too* special. I think it has a weakness in being a little predictable and generic ("generic" in a more literal sense, in that it sticks to its genre pretty straightforwardly). No individual aspect really excels; it's all-around solid, jack-of-all-trades. I've totally heard it somewhere before.

Nominator: @pyresword
7.5 (7.5/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_DvJwakV4I
sadvnpiano.mp3. Feels very familiar. It's Hope but better. It's bugging me that I can't place this. Does it touch me because I've heard it before and I'm implicitly making a connection to that, or have I not heard it and the melody is simple and powerful enough to get to me even without context? I'm kind of rating it in the average of the two scenarios.

Nominator: Neotelenta

Very atmospheric, and that flute does some real good stuff. Piano is nice too. Unfortunately, the flute and piano are too much of the song. This absolutely nails the effect it's going for, which happens to not be an effect optimized for listening. I'm sure it's amazing in-game. ah ah. ah ah. ah ah.

Aren't you happy? Aren't you excited? You're going to be free

I'm divorced enough from my playthrough of the game that this song is nostalgic but doesnt have as strong an emotional impact, and without the feels, it's nothing remarkable, aside from brilliant motif usage. But damn this was a great scene

An extremely pretty song. I can tell you this from afar. It shouldn't be terribly surprising that this isn't the kind of prettiness I tend to adore in music. I'll cheer on the game as its soundtrack gets lauded and laureled, and then never listen to its music again.

This song has very strong meme potential
oh yeah by the way, at some point a while after i nominated this, i realised that this actually was stock bgm after all... it's actually not even intended for video games, but tourism ads and it costs about $50 to use. notably though, it's about 50% faster in this game for whatever reason and sounds a lot better, so i guess it's technically still a valid song?

I hate you arti.

I think this might be the best vocaloid you nommed (it's redundant to say this since you'll have the benefit of seeing the rankings I know shut up). I don't hate this, and would even go so far as to say that the vocaloids add to the song. They fit contextually. It helps that they're very subdued relative to what they usually are. As for the song itself, it sounds like Anamanaguchi, or at least Scott Pilgrim. In other words, not wonderful, but at worst, inoffensive

And yeah for Rain the relistens have definitely knocked it down a peg for me. It's just kinda smooth and calming with not much else going on

It's *almost* exceptional. Almost. It tries, it really does. That part at 1:37? That's it trying *so hard*. But the little engine just can't make it to the top of the hill...

Exactly what it says on the tin. I got a lot of Fez songs, huh?

I unironically like the SiivaGunner Mario Party 2 remix of Buoy Base better than the original.

There are plenty of genuinely good siivagunner rips. I think this one has a bit more personality. Dunno if it'd actually do better

438. Marble Blast Ultra - Marble Blast Ultra
Nominator: Collen
7.5 (7.5/0)
https://youtu.be/-71bPX1cH8o
I've been listening to this for years, after saving it after hearing it in SiIva's 100th guessing game. Unfortunately, it's become one of those songs that I never delete yet skip almost every time I hear it. Whatever appeal it once had for me has mostly worn off. I still enjoy it when I actually hear it. It's just not something I really want to listen to in stead of something else I like

438. Sonic Tetris - Marble Zone

Nominator: @MargaretAnnMid
7.5 (7.5/0)

"by SoundTeMP" literally in the video description. Check your fucking composers. This sounds nothing like Yoko Kanno (and she wasn't even on this game). I see why Mycro gets so upset about this kind of thing. It's intensely frustrating

Decent if not fantastic western piece. Could see it as a lesser, largely-forgotten song in a Morricone soundtrack

I've always thought the intro was sick but it doesn't really go anywhere, unfortunately. If it did evolve better, it'd to be a top FFX song. Man, rip not-potato-quality FFX uplaods

438. Fallout 4 - Main Theme
Nominator: Thomas
7.5 (7.5/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzvZE4BY0hY
I like how it's strangely hopeful at the very beginning before transitioning into the Fallout motif. This seems like it should be the ending theme of Marvel's Fallout, not the intro to the proper 3D Fallout game with the most hackneyed, ill-constructed story. I suppose this gets to be the best Fallout theme, as it makes me *think* that the story would actually be good, and seeing as they're not all that different, the melancholic piano of this beats the vaguely western feel of NV

Nominator: @kaonashi
7.5 (7.5/0)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdWk0UprQvk
Kind of boring generic choir save for that weird synth in the background which manages to give it some character. I guess it "feels" like a kaonashi nom, so there's something in there giving it personality. I like it more than I thought I would considering how bland it is in general. The geometric waves about two and a half minute in are a nice touch in this regard. That section on is definitely the best portion of the song. ahhhhh ah ahhhhh

I'm sure this song shaped the childhood of many people. It's got a strong "start of the adventure" vibe without being too cliched or overdone, and likely really really excited all of those proto-zoomer kids. The aforementioned narm helps a lot in this regard. It gets points for this, even if I don't love the song itself

7.5 (7.5/0)

Ayesha is one of my absolute favorite soundtracks, yet I don't know if I've ever voted MARIA in VGMC. The vocal themes don't do it for me. They lack what makes Ayesha so cool for me. Still, I find some pretty enjoyable. I'll listen to Hanashirube when loading the game on occasion. I guess this is second behind Stargazer. By the way, "Twilight Hour" is just the album that they released the vocal songs on. It's still just from Atelier Ayesha

438. Splatoon 2 - Fly Octo Fly

7.5 (7.5/0)

smoke on the water. I got curious earlier today, and checked to see what playlists people had my PSO2 songs on. One, "1 list of good vgm", had Splatoon 2 next to Custom Robo and PSO. I think my head would explode if I went from Funky Radio to Panic Cube to this to Tricktrack part 1. Anyway, this is probably the best Slapton song I got (you'll know if this is case better than I do now), which is to say that it's fairly good despite basically everything about it

Slam! Doesn't do a lot for me... it's *almost* there. Some parts are really cool! This kind of thing needs something to get me into it, otherwise it's kind of there. Without that special sauce, it doesn't come together enough for me to rate it particularly highly.

Not my favorite Ys tune. This kind of rock was never why I gravitated towards Falcom music, and though I suppose it has a higher ceiling than Cold Steel-esque battle themes, it's still nothing overly remarkable. Still a good jam to listen to

Are you gonna be my girl? I prefer songs like this to prioritize energy (like Rhythm Thief music) over trying to convey a personality. I use the latter phrase a bit as an epithet, like it's something cheap and unearned, telling over showing. Kind of like the song is jumping and waving its arms, insisting that it has personality, instead of letting that arise naturally for the song. I don't expect this to make any sense. So it goes.

I know it fits perfectly in the context of the song, but it's still kind of weird hearing that chanting in this kind of western song. It's even weirder when you realize that they belong in this kind of song much more than they belong in JRPG final boss themes
