Anyway I know all of you missed the listening party which is unfortunate since that's what we were banking on to make fitting in time for all 64 songs viable, but as a reminder listening still ISN'T essential for voting, you can simply treat the samples as just that and pick your favourite soundtrack in general of the options.

I am absolutely in love with the intensity of this track, the absolutely insane saxophone being, of course, a highlight. I know this intense, proggy, almost violent track isn't for everyone, but holy hell is it for me. There's absolutely no room to breathe and I fucking love it. Of course its opponent is kind of crazy too. Definitely comparatively normal in structure, but the intro is just super bonkers. Really wish that vocal style kept up for the rest of the song. This track starts off with some out of this world ambience. Dark synths and a sound that just pops. So crisp and clean. It really keeps me on my toes with a sound that shifts between serenity and danger. And I gotta love that musical call-out to the first game! The dread of this intro is a incredibly good follow-up to the previous track. And I'm happy to find that that intensity comes back in later on in the track. Very skin crawling. Holy shit, if this song isn't an absolute masterpiece. The cold oppressive crisp weight of that intro, the somber, yet hopeful wail of the oboe + guitar ... The way the melody swells in the latter half. Despair and hope intertwined in absolute perfect harmony. Pretty fun J-pop fare. The eurobeat(?) sound is no slouch either. With apologies to Gunvolt today ... RoR2 has what's possibly been my favourite set in the entire contest so far, I question if there even IS any song in the contest I'd vote over Once in a Lullaby ...

The Face of the Deep A Placid Island of Ignorance Memoria of 'He' I almost considered voting for Boundless Myth for a couple seconds until the vocals kicked in, and then it lost me and did not gain me back. On the flip side the vocals in Memoria of He don't kill it for me because I like the rest of it strongly enough. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC ...

Boundless Myth - Normal Battle Edit - Thunderous Roar Memoria of 'He' [blank line here if additional contents after] I have forgotten the face of my father, clearly, if this is what I think he sounds like. It sounds almost self-obsessed, the way it sticks with one melody idea for so long. It's too much! The jazz improv stuff is interesting, but it's so hard for me to enjoy recorded improvization. I refuse to spell that word with an S. It feels like it's missing the point to me, you know? So much of it is about connecting with and jiving with the audience, so when you just did something in a recording studio and I am hearing it a year later, something is lost. Meanwhile we get chanting over a Yuki Kajiura-style violin? Ooh. Actually yeah, minus the fact that the singer doesn't sound like anyone Kajiura's worked with AFAIK, you could tell me this was composed by Kajiura and I'd believe you. And considering she's one of my favorite composers, that's high praise. Also I guess this is another lyrics day! (there's one on the wiki, but I don't like it so TIME TO MAKE MY OWN.) I wish I were still ignorant of this song. wow that was mean of me. The starting rhythm is certainly interesting. But I feel like the song passed me by without ever leaving anything in my memory. The opening of Thunderous Roar is wonderfully foreboding, and then we shift to some really nice piano work over a cool techno melody. (THIS is how you do a fast piano, Silver Bullet!) And it keeps shifting! I like lots of ideas! God, what a cool piece. How was that only 2 minutes? I feel like I've heard hours of brilliance. I don't mind the slow intro into a mournful... oboe? I think it's an oboe. And I don't mind repeating the melody up an octave. But now that's gone away, replaced with a vaguely atmospheric guitar, and I see almost three minutes have gone by and--and now we're repeating the oboe's melody with that guitar? And now we're going again with a bit of doubling? I love buildup in a song -- Electric Power Building, This Silence Is Mine, Yamiyo no Prologue: they're all some of my favorite songs for a reason -- but I find myself bored. A good buildup song layers something new on top, gets more interesting over time. But Lullaby never outperformed that initial oboe version. oh no it's a double lyrics day. I'm not as much of a fan of this song, it's very standard jpop, but hey I like standard jpop. But maybe i'll skip lyricizing this song, if I'm busy. Gunvolt has consistently done more with less time. okay lyric time: With a word do I act With a word do I create With a word do I destroy With each sinking do I rise anew, for I am the Sun! The Book of the Dead, set down in time immemorial Commencing Heaven and Earth, guiding it, Melting the distant, blurry boundary of the horizon: A mythic episode Ra! Your demesne knoweth no limit Ra! We offer prayer, that the sun riseth once more Onward, I as ever lie down: a future unchanging Our festivities, ever regular Igniting flames the color of blood oozing dully from the corners of the mouth: A mythic episode Ra! Your hands know no regret Ra! Remain luminescent high above our head stopping here for tonight because i don't feel like doing more, and also the normal battle edit ends here. Also in the process I found the full version and it looks like the wiki's lyrics are both official and machine translated. Why do I live in the worst timeline. --- Nonsense.
