i haven't disliked any of the songs with vocals i voted against. i just liked their opponents better.

...except let it die - that was legitimately one of the worst songs i have ever heard. good riddance.

i hope the first campaign comes back some day, half expected it to have retired but it just lost r1 back in 6 and never returned...

it wasn't even a bad loss for the time, at least as far as r1 losses go

also i hope there's an eo3 set in bost it'd likely do pretty well imo

Thanks! I think he's great too! I used to listen to his music a lot more back in 2016 when I discovered chillwave through Odesza and it left a big impact on my music tastes. Odesza, Neon Indian, and Toro y Moi were some of the artists I listened to the most during that time. I still really like Toro y Moi's Underneath the Pine and Anything in Return albums!

I'm still on cloud nine over Gentle Slope Cave's win.... *_* Oh, and my favorites bracket is now done. And that means all my ratings are done. Oh, wait, no, I still have to adjust my top dozen or so tracks for Bracket D.

But anyway...we've got... [HM's in brackets because they were really close in score and I'd consider swiapping them in]

linkage alter - Fairfrozen [Obstacle] - Anistar City [Altered Genos] - Ice-covered Love ~ Kohri

To the Center of the Supervoid [Monolith Gate] - Ikou Authority [Gentle Slope Cave] - Id ~ Purpose - EVENK

Rhythm Changer - over-nove - Vast Ice Mountain Peak [over-nove]- The Shackled Wolves

In the Doldrums - Battle! Colress - Central Tower "Axis Pillar" - Legacy

Yup.... no particularly new revelations about what I already like. As many as four Pokemon retirees, and three xaki retirees (could have been FOUR if epita-phasis was not dropped before I could support it, shame, shame, shame).... and some other PMD-like music, too! Trying to rank each bracket winner, though...? Tough. Could be any order, really. linkage alter is not actually my second favorite vgm, though it's probably top ten.

SORRY111111!!!! i actually had no clue you had interest in that, because iirc you never indicated it. otherwise i'd have held onto it to see if it went anywhere. in fact i was actually surprised to not see you jump on it with how much you've expressed xaki is your favorite composer haha

Well, what happened is that... I think it may have been 2/2 at the time I was going through your 1/1 nominations a few days in... only the 1/1's I listened to at first, and epita-phasis wasn't one of them. And because of that I thought I had some time to support it later, but turns out I wasn't paying close enough attention. It went down to 0/0 a bit later before I actually listened to it. In other words, not your fault! (was just joking about the shame, shame, shame)

At least, that's what I thought...not sure if that's really true.

Finally, two days of winning in a row. And I love how Horita is my most compatible user at 78%~! Finished adjusting Bracket D top ratings. Boy, Bracket D is stacked. I can't believe In the Doldrums is in fifth place there. It could even be sixth if Dreams in a Pie continues to amaze me like it did last time I listened to it.
