Strawberry Girls - Spanish Bay

Just crisp as fuck. What's to acquire about this? It grabs you straight from the opening riff and progresses well throughout.

What's to acquire about this?

Catfail imo

Undertale the Musical - Undertale

The story of this game is fine and it shows in the lyrics but as a piece of music this is extremely hit or miss for me.

Iron Butterfly - In-Gadda-Da-Vida

I hadn't heard this all the way through before but I love the style. Unfortunately some of the middle percussion sections really drag this down, probably one of the few songs in this category I got tired of while listening.

Viet Cong - Death

Maybe this'll take a few more listens but unlike other long songs this didn't really stick.

THe Sugar Hill Gang - Rapper's Delight

You know I really didn't expect this to stay fun for a whole 15 minutes and it totally was. I'll never listen to it again though.

Andreas Waldetoft - Stellaris Suite Creation and Beyond (Stellaris OST)

For something which sounds really generic this song is really good at giving you exactly what you're looking for. This buildup is well metered and it's a totally awesome experience. The only thing keeping this down on the list is the quality of the rest of the submissions.

Clark Powell - Symphony Impossible to Play I - Overture

Very quick judge but this is very enjoyable. Maybe over time it will get even better.

Metallica - Blackend

Really classic and crisp sounding metal. I haven't heard much metallica but this is better than that album BenTheDemon jerks off onto.

Knaye West - Runaway

This is an example of music I'm not normally into but I'm glad I'm getting exposed to here. It's not particularly interesting but it is really engaging, if that makes any sense. Clearly a classic for a reason.

George Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue

Yeah this song is amazing, the clarinet is amazing, it's an instant classic. It's kind of familiarity capped because some of the fresh submissions edge it out in experience

Rush - La Villa Strangiato

I think by every metric I usually judge songs this should get a higher score but it doesn't click into being an instant favorite like it seems like it should. Maybe I'll need a few more listens.

Texas Cloverleaf
Scorpions - Lonesome Crow

Some killer guitar work in the solo sections but slightly less interesting outside of them. Good pick.

ICED EARTH - Damien

Honestly this is just really solid. Picking from here is more a matter of finding what I liked over coping with what I didn't.

Infected Mushroom - Herbert the Pervert

This is just a jam, really interesting instrumentals and great energy.

Brian Balmages - Pele

This is the best piece of classical music subbed to my walrus so far. I love the horns in particular.

South of Heaven - Calibarn and Excalibur

More killer metal work from this series that doesn't let up for 12 minutes. Just an overall solid, quality pick.

 

[Galap]

holy shit this one is awesome

Steven Wilson - Luminol

The interest factor in this one is very high, the easiest way to instantly hook me is to throw flutes and shit into your instrumentation. Lots of amazing sections that will require a few listens separated by a few that will probably grow on me too.

Mastodon - The Czar

Heal said this was less predictable than other Mastodon songs and it definitely edges out LG's submission from category 1. It was very difficult to pick a winner for this category but the overall feel and subtleties which eventually build over the course of the whole song make this feel like an epic. Probably the most cohesive of the top spot songs.

Watsky - Lovely Thing Suite Part 2

I guess I just don't get this one. It doesn't really do anything for me either way.

Dotan - Home

Yeah you say the vocals makes up for the rest of this song, but I'm not feeling it. Just not my thing.

Death Grips - Beware

I like the energy and I don't mind harshnesss but I'm not really feeling it as a song I'd ever go back to.

John Williams - The Imperial March (Star Wars)

Yeah we've all heard this. It's pretty good, just not something I'd listen to on a regular basis.

Fate/Extra OST - Game Over

Nod bad, pretty chill but pretty forgettable in the grand scheme of things.
