I will get to matches 1-2 later today hopefully when I get more time.

It's Going Down Now: It's not bad. The vocals don't annoy me (other than the rapping parts, but even the rapping parts don't annoy me as much as most rap). The instrumentation is excellent. Overall, it's not entirely my thing but it's kinda cool.

Grounseed - Shop Demo: It has a nice retro feel to it. It's not doing too much for me personally, but it's a bit interesting and has nice progression.

Arbury Whistles : Hey, I remember this song from Hindsight 2022! I don't recall putting it in my top 10, but it was still one of the better songs from that contest for sure. Flutes and strings are always welcome, and this one's no exception. The happy Celtic feel just puts me in a better mood. Very fun piece.

Farde Mal Diavolo -Destroy Evil, then Come- : Okay, the very beginning with the annoying blaring vocals was an immediate turn-off. I thought to myself, "Oh boy, another god awful vocal song I'll just have to sit through." But not long after that, it got significantly better. The vocals for the rest of the song are a nice addition as opposed to an annoyance, and the instrumentation is awesome. I especially love the use of castanets here which really add to the uniqueness of the piece and makes it stand out more (I don't hear castanets often in JRPG-type music). The strings towards the end of the piece were also great and very emotive.
