And... let's go with two more for the moment:

==================

#711: RavenCyarm - Time to Breathe (2:50):
https://youtu.be/MPOjNiLlopc

Nominator: Mega_Mana [33/38 Remaining]

Initial Score: 55.00
Revised Score: 52.67
Final Score: 52.94

(First Reaction: It's an interesting mashup, especially since I don't recall hearing the version of Barrett's theme that's used here (it was allegedly used for two of the NXT Takeovers), but I don't think I actually like this version of Barrett's theme. And there's only so far demonic backmasked vocals & ominous sounds can carry the track when I'm not fond of the other half of its source material.)

...Actually, I'm not wild about Finn's theme either, so I don't know that I'd describe myself as a "fan" of either song here, unfortunately. Raven does a good job of blending the two tracks, but after the novelty of backmasked vocals & obscure song choices wears off, there isn't much left that I find very appealing. Sorry; I would like to hear more wrestling mashups, but I don't think this one worked half as well as last year's nomination.

[Final Thoughts: The songs blend together seamlessly, but I'm not super into either of the components or the final result. It's quite impressive and the the right idea in theory, it just didn't quite pan out perfectly.]

#710: Philip Glass - Cloudscape (4:40):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9byPyKh2rE&list=OLAK5uy_mDCT4_Ky0CAnSs7AexWupMqE4qQRsnc7s&index=3

Nominator: Sergio [9/13 Remaining]

Initial Score: 52.98
Revised Score: 50.60
Final Score: 52.98

(First Reaction: Another instrumental where I like some of the instruments used in it, but don't have any strong reactions or opinions on it.)

The instruments are pleasing enough that I can say this song should be above the 50 point barrier, but it feels kinda dull to me tonight... I'm not really getting any sense of anything from the song, at all. It's high enough quality that I wouldn't call it boring, but... I also can't think of any way I actually want to end that sentence.

[Final Thoughts: The song does have some foreboding & BWOOM-ing qualities to it, though it's never quite as soul-crushing or rumbling as I'd like. Also, like many songs on this soundtrack, it does have a sense of "ascending", though in an ominous way instead of the flying/freedom way one would typically expect from songs invoking such feelings. It's a nice track.]
