Breathe the Black: Big fan of the acoustic guitars and the mandolin in this one. Very pleasant song to listen to with a nice melody. Good song. My Dark Disquiet: This is a fun song too. Big fan of Marko Saaresto's vocals especially. The instrumental is somewhat basic, but it's catchy and cool enough that that doesn't matter too much. Great song. Blue Whitecaps: Now here's my favorite song in Bracket B. Extremely memorable melody and the instrumentation used is super detailed and well-mixed. The piano, cello, e-guitar, synths, and percussion all work wonderfully together to make one of the most saccharine songs Kanno has made. Fire!: Not a huge fan of the arcade sound in general, but this one's alright, albeit very short. Don't have much else to say other than it doesn't stand a chance against Blue Whitecaps for me. RGB: This one's pretty chill and I like the production. Nice bass and the synths are pretty cool as well. More of a soundscape-y song, since the melody isn't super memorable, but the soundscape is good enough to make up for that. Deep Blue: The echo-y piano to start this one creates a certain ambience to the piece that I quite like. The addition of breakbeat after the intro is pretty unique, especially since it maintains the ambience from the intro and doesn't "go hard" like most instances of breakbeat do, which I appreciate. Very cool song. Actually a really good day today. Votes: My Dark Disquiet Blue Whitecaps Deep Blue --- Don't trust everything that you read on the Internet. -Abraham Lincoln ... Copied to Clipboard!

My Dark Disquiet Blue Whitecaps Deep Blue Breathe is like, normal Western song. Comparing it to something like Into the Wilderness shows how middling it is. Dark Disquiet is pretty fun. Better than some of the Old Gods of Asgard songs we've gotten. Not huge on either song in match 2. Whitecaps has a little more to it. RGB never seems to go anywhere. Kinda like mediocre area music from an RPG or something. This isn't my day apparently. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

My Dark Disquiet Blue Whitecaps Deep Blue I listened to these songs earlier and made notes of which ones to vote for, but did not make any notes on the songs themselves. And I don't really feel like relistening. All I know is that all six are good, but matches 2+3 still had clear winners in my eyes. As for the first match, I have betrayed ... Utterly betrayed MYSELF. I happily pushed for Breathe the Black but did not expect it to go up against a song that was on my support shortlist!!!! Like Andy, this is pain to choose. ... Copied to Clipboard!
