58: MAMOMO - (On the Main Street of the City in the Morning) [mamomo #6]:

https://s-mamomo.bandcamp.com/track/--50

Nominator: @FL81 (4/20)
Source: mamomo album (3/13)

Initial Score: 83.18 [#33]
Revised Score: 90.99 [#58]
Final Score: 92.00 [#58]

(First Thoughts: Like being a mage who is exploring an ice cave. Its mysterious and adventurous, but youve got enough magic that its not very dangerous.)

No matter how many times I listen to this, I cant picture this being used as a city theme. Its far too magical and mysterious for a city theme, even if that city were the Magical City of Vane.

(Incidentally, no version of Lunar had a particular good song for Vane, but thats neither here nor there. I was going to waste time by posting one of Vanes themes, but not a single one is worth making anyone listen to.)

Song has a great ambience and I like these sort of songs, so I like this, yes.

[Final Thoughts: Magical adventure ambience is always nice.]

Initial Score: 61.55 [#208]
Revised Score: 82.97 [#101]
Final Score: 93.50 [#57]

(First Thoughts: [REDACTED])

Im going to leave this blank. Well see what Im willing to say, if anything, when this song drops. No since typing up something else that might get redacted.

[note: This song was moved up to the 90s without any comment.]

[Final Thoughts: Well, I mean the short version is that I have some issues with religion that make this song rather easy to relate to in certain ways. And its also very well performed, so its a high-quality song that gets a high score on its own merits.]

56: OF MONSTERS AND MEN - HUMAN:

Nominator: Jesse_Custer (3/15)

Initial Score: 92.50 [#9]
Revised Score: 96.99 [#34]
Final Score: 93.70 [#56]

(First Thoughts: Im not going to waste any time pretending I understand this: Eat me like a cannibal, chase the neon throne feels like gibberish and I find some comfort in that no one else is completely sure what it meant either. Oh, it means the mind, obviouslyor no, its about strip clubs, or metaphorical strip clubs, and maybe hes talking to himself or maybe hes talking to other people..

I like that; Ive often complained about artists who feel compelled to overly explain their lyrics and remove any mystique or debate. Parts of this song feel very open to personal interpretation and I appreciate that. And while it seems like a song I should be docking points forlet the human in is rather the opposite message Id like and I often complain about songs that keep repeating the same few versesthe song is so compelling that it shatters any criticism I could throw at it.)

Still a great song, but its a bit less mystifying now that Im expecting it.

[Final Thoughts: Cant think of anything else to add here.]]

55: AL STEWART - YEAR OF THE CAT:

Nominator: rwlh (4/15)

Initial Score: 90.00 [#13]
Revised Score: 95.99 [#38]
Final Score: 93.90 [#55]

(First Thoughts: A great 70s hit that Im pretty sure Ive never heard before & it has a saxophone outro?!

...Again, you say you dont know what I like, but this seems....very specific.

*insert Papyrus Thinking image here*)

Exactly my type of song, though its a bit too similar to the type of things I already listen to on a regular basis; Im trying to expand my interests a bit beyond these types of greatest hits from the 70s. So its great and I love it, but its not exactly what Im looking for right now.

[Final Thoughts: Cant think of anything else to add.]
