I forgot to check in on this until just now, but I will endeavor to go back and read all the write-ups so far.

I feel like I should apologize in advance for the madness you may be exposed to. I have a tendency to neglect the fact that someone might actually read any of this. </.<

Oh yea, you should check out Dorian Electra's music videos for songs on their album. They are an experience.

I've looked at one or two, but I'll try to watch more of them before those songs drop.

NOW ENTERING THE 50.01 TO 54.99~ TIER

Nothing ended in the Exactly 50 point tier this year. There were a few songs originally, but not too many & those were moved slightly up or down in scores to avoid ending up in the neutral zone.

...Somehow I thought it would take longer to reach this point. This part of the list is very much in flux at the moment; we've got hundreds of songs between here and the 60 point level, all of which are divided with only 9 whole points between them. Relatively minor scoring changes can upend the entire list and I'm a long ways from having assigned a Final Score to everything in the 50 point tiers.

We'll be dropping the five songs that currently have the lowest score each day and *hopefully* that will work out, but some placements may need to be retroactively corrected as more work is done on the tier. Such is the nature of a "work in progress" list. As usual, thank you for your understanding.

Aaanywho..., this marks the ascension to the Positive Half of the scoring chart. While the previous tier were songs I had a slight negative lean on, these songs are slightly positive. They're still songs I would describe as "fine", but in a slightly happier tone.

-a gap between Tier Description and First Eliminated Song is placed here-

#746: Keisuke Ito, Yasuhiro Kawagoe, Noriko Murakami - Cave of the Deep (5:02):
https://youtu.be/3hGm54mLZcI

Nominator: Haste [27/31 Remaining]

Initial Score: 43.13
Revised Score: 50.076
Final Score: 50.076

(First Reaction: I enjoy the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, but there are very few songs from them I like. They're just not any of the types of VGM I enjoy and I think there are only two or three exceptions across the franchise)

It's too dramatic to be a fun hiking song and too happy to be a dramatic song, but I guess it's pleasant enough background music? But that's all I can think of from it; it doesn't convey any emotions or experiences to me, it's just... ya know... background music. 'Here you are, at the.... whatever, go walk and fight the whoever or don't, I'm not paid enough to care what you do" would be the message I take away from this song.

...still, I guess I lightly like it? It's inoffensive and fades into the background easily enough, as well as being so vague that you could justify playing it for just about any environment or mood. It's fine.

[Final Thoughts: This song is the personification of an apathetic tour guide, but a few parts of it do sound kinda underwater cave-y, which is nice enough.]
