VOTING RULES

- Each match will be between the songs representing each game, not the game as a whole. Please remember to listen and vote with this in mind! Any votes referring to a game name rather than a song name will not be counted.
- Listen to both songs!! If one is your literal favorite song in the world and the other is something you hate with a passion, listen to them both!!
- No alts, no rallying, no begging for something to get more votes, etc., etc., you know the drill.
- All votes must be delivered to the host within 24 hours of a match starting. If you would like to vote early, please DM me and I'll provide the match seed. If you change your mind and would like to swap your vote, you may do so. As soon as it is 24 hours since the match topic was started, you may not change your vote and new votes will not be counted.

Seashore Probe ~ Wopal (Battle)
On the Calm Noon Sea
No Mercy

battlerock has been my favourite smg song for the longest time and i know it isn't exactly acknowledged by many others so i was very pleased to see it on the set... so, yeah, sucks that i don't get a chance to vote for it
if not for how bright the songs are, these are fairly interchangeable titles honestly. also this is a good match, both are a little below battlerock and obv wopal but i like both quite a bit nonetheless
ok just for once i won't show any. the c&c song isn't necessarily bad but kinda decisively just like... a song i'd only give a 5/10 to. still, fallen land is also significantly weaker than everything else today

Match 2 is tough.
Love Fallen Land Night.

Seashore Probe has some parts of it that I like, particularly in the synths, but it mostly just feels all over the place and lacks cohesion to me. Battlerock, on the other hand, is my favorite SMG song, which is saying a lot. Fantastic melody, orchestration (especially that snare), and theme development.

Dark Forest is pretty nice. Good melody and nice soundscape. On the Calm Noon Sea is definitely my favorite song in the Shallie set though, making this a tough draw for LaTale. It's a really beautiful song.

Can't say I enjoy the vocals in No Mercy, but the industrial effects are neat. The Fallen Land (Night) has a nice melody, and the acoustic guitar/piano/cello combo works really well.

Very good day today.

Match 1 and 2 were close for me, but there's a definite preference for snubs.

I can vote again it is a miracle. Grad school sucks why would anyone do this to themselves.

Apparently just in time for The Fallen Land though which is honestly one of my all time favorite vgm songs. (The day version that is, but this is also very good)
