Keeper: Idk how you'd consider this song painful to listen to tbh. Very ambient song with lots of interesting sounds. Not a song I'd vote for very often unless I were to dislike the opponent, but it's very intriguing and I respect the pick a lot.

Fire Wire: I'd be less surprised to hear someone complain about the high-pitched strings on this one as being painful to listen to. The running piano in the background is probably my favorite part of this. The strings are pretty neat as well, even if I do think they are too bright in the mix. Fun song.

Museum of Agony: This one's another cool soundscape-y song. Reminds me a bit of the Metroid Prime soundtracks. Definitely enjoyed this one, and I probably will vote for this one.

INARI 1st: Idk, conceptually, this one should be grabbing more than it is. It's got neat instrumentation with the piano and shinobue and all that. It's probably the less-than-stellar melody that's making me uninterested. It's a fine song and all, but doesn't really stand out to me.

Epicentre: This one's very cool. Cool underlying ostinato, and the vocal samples combined with the hand percussion really make a very cool soundscape. Also the inclusion of a bouzouki is very welcome. Very good song.

Scream: The vocals are really far back in this mix, which is weird. The vocals themselves really feel like they're singing for a different song than the instrumental seems to call for. I like the e-guitars quite a bit, but yeah, the vocals bring this one down a lot. I think Prod made a comparison a while ago to NEO TWEWY where the instrumental is cool but the vocals are either meh or unfitting (I don't think that's the case for every NEO TWEWY song). Pretty easily the weakest song of the day for me.

Today was a soundscape day.
