EDIT: Err... previous post should have said "Seventh and eighth bricks", not 8th and 9th. -.-'

And we close the first day of the Wall with two of the remaining mashups:

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

???: DJ Cummerbund - Play That Funky Music Rammstein (3:37):
https://youtu.be/tcUB-3lud60

Nominator: Metalmind [23/25 Remaining]

Initial Score: 54.38
Revised Score: 55.18
Final Score: 54.49 [Upgraded to 55.00]

(First Reaction: I think this might be the most impressive mashup I've ever heard and the way he edits & combines the songs is truly masterful, he's truly gifted at this. The thing is, I don't really like any of the songs being combined here? Which makes it something that I can appreciate on a 'wow, I am in awe at how you pulled this off' level, but not on an 'I'd actually like to listen to this' level. It's easy enough to listen to and still impressive that my feelings are definitely positive in general, but I'm a long way from being able to say that I like the song without adding a lot of caveats to that sentence.)

I still feel the same way. He is truly talented at mashing up songs and I like this track considerably more than I like any of its components, but a song that blends things I don't care about together is always going be a bit of a hard sell. I think I'm impressed enough to move it up to the "kinda like" tier, but it's kinda straddling the line and I keep flipping back & forth on that point.

[Final Thoughts: It's impressive and I guess it's better to use songs I don't care about than ones I love (see: Tricky Child), but I still feel largely the same way as I did back at the first reaction.]

[Later: As usual, those writeups all come across too negatively. It's really nice and I do kinda like it, as much as I like everything in the Wall at least.]

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

???: BotanicSage - MORTAL KONGBAT (3:45):

Nominator: paulg [40/52 Remaining]

Initial Score: 50.64
Revised Score: 50.64
Final Score: 50.64 [Upgraded to 51.48] [Upgraded to 53.73] [Upgraded to 53.786] [Upgraded to 54.491] [Upgraded to 55.00]

(First Reaction: The songs don't go together well even as a joke mashup, but there were a few lines that made me smile.)

Grapes, melons, oranges, and MORTAL KOMBAT.

[Final Thoughts: Two songs that I'm not particular into combined into.... something.]

[Later: Gave this song a tiny booat to its score. It's still not a favorite, but it's a bit better than I thought it was.]

[Later Later: It's almost funny enough to jump up a tier, but I'm not sold on that idea. Still... moving this one up a bit.]

[Later*3: I say it's not funny enough to move up a tier or bother giving an actual writeup too, and yet, it survives when so many other songs do not...]

[Later the Fourth: I don't know, just go up to the 54 point zone for a minute?]

[Fifthly: Much like "Monk Mode", the Wall is a fine place for this song. Instead of trying to figure out exactly where this falls in the "kinda like" category, it can just slot in here.]
