Doing votes early today (and probably for the next few days) so I don't get stuck being busy and not having time to listen to everything before the deadline. Illusionary Blue Flowers is alright. Nothing about it particularly interests me though. It's just there. Melody is okay, instruments aren't noteworthy, production is fine. Not much else to say about it. Apparently this is the other memed to death song here. Unfortunate, since I really like this one. Aoife N Fhearraigh does a fantastic job on the vocals. Lovely instrumentation throughout. The low whistle solo in the intro is great as well. And including a bouzouki is always welcome. Great melodies throughout too, making one of my favorite Metal Gear songs in general. Burning Hearts is a fun song. Takenobu Mitsuyoshi has a great voice, and the chorus is super catchy. The sax solo is pretty cool too. Home Sweet Home is really nice. Love the piano parts here. The strings are pretty nice as well. I like the quiet hand percussion too, it adds quite a bit to the texture of the composition. It does get a bit repetitive, but it's not too long of a song, so it's not a dealbreaker or anything for me. This is kind of a tough match tbh. City of Tears is so good with the vocals, strings, and harp. Such great instrumentation. I do wish it had a stronger melody, but that's a minor gripe here. I still really like the song. Hmm, I kinda like stg_travel_2_3, but it also doesn't really capture me either. The production is pretty solid, it has a cool melody, but at the same time, it kinda doesn't go anywhere interesting to me. So I'll just leave this song with a decent rating from me. Pretty good day today. Votes: END TITLE / THE BEST IS YET TO COME Home Sweet Home City of Tears --- Don't trust everything that you read on the Internet. -Abraham Lincoln ... Copied to Clipboard!

Illusionary Blue Flowers Home Sweet Home City of Tears Flowers is decent, I like the first 30 seconds a lot and whenever that bit is in the background, the rest not as much. Why is Best is Yet to Come given a slot every year? It's alright but not even remotely near the best MGS song, and it's not bad enough to be a meme pick. I guess you had to be there. BURNING RANGERS~. For some reason that catchy chant gets me, the rest of the song is alright but that alone makes it memorable. Unfortunately Home Sweet Home is more my kind of thing, but respect to the BURNING RANGERS. City of Tears is probably my least fav of the 3 HK tracks that made the bracket, but I still really really like it. stg has its moments but this is no contest for me. Flowers: 3/5 Best: 2.5/5 Burning: 2.5/5 Home: 3.5/5 City: 4.5/5 stg: 2.5/5 --- Very slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ahh, the best Trails OST returns. As does one of the worst MGS songs... Burning Hearts kinda feels like a song that would come on the radio and cause me to switch stations. I feel like Burning Rangers has had better songs than this in these contests. Home Sweet Home kinda feels like a nice modern FF song, but it doesn't go as many places as I would've liked. City of Tears has that nice feeling but with some more emotion to it. This is the only close match today... stg is good stuff too but in a totally different way.
