Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions your vote is not based on a fair and impartial preference, it will be disqualified.) - Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.). - Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text. - Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isnt up by then. (Matches do not begin until at least 10:00 EDT.) - Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources. - If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic. - Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches. - You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did! .

Scourge of the Universe Douwa Kairou very little tops the raw emotional I FLOAT IN THE AIR WHEN I HEAR IT experience to me of Id~Purpose's constant 90 tonal center changes a second, even "more interesting examples" of the same thing. Something about my favorite parts of Id has just never gotten old to me. Maybe I just like accordions, maybe i just like thick string/brass chords, not sure what keeps me coming back to this over other examples I like of the same composition style. in the end it's still one of the most popular examples of something with the whole "unpredictable chord changes threaded together by a melodic line" that's one of my absolute favorite types of composition. It's not even my favorite song in the game or my favorite by the composer, and I'm tired of seeing it in this contest, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I like it enough that it's rare to find things I'll vote over it. Thank you for existing Id~Purpose. Scars of Fauna is cool because I like nekomata master but i'm not even sure i can name a nekomata master song that beats Id to me, as much as I consistently love him. I like Scourge more compositionally by a lot, and I like Tonitrus more aesthetically by a lot. in the end, composition is much more important to me here. the most epic normal nekomata song vs totto being "prog rock", i like "atelier nekomata" as a sound more consistently but this totto example is significantly more exciting to me --- time ...

Scars of FAUNA
Scourge of the Universe Dark Legacy So I took a listen to dark legacy here and felt surprisingly less into it than I did from last time, but then had to go do some thing before listening to douwa so I put everything on hold. Then I came back and all of a sudden I'm into Dark Legacy again, go figure. If it makes the difference, the first time tonight I listened to Dark Legacy I used headphones and the second time I did not. Could've possibly been enough to have flipped my vote if my mood did not switch back, am kind of into Douwa Kairou a tad bit more than from what I remember too. Or maybe these feelings are linked and it wouldn't have flipped, or maybe not and I'm just overthinking, doesn't really matter much oh well. --- luigi says: "and" ... Copied to Clipboard!

Terraria Calamity - Scourge of the Universe Beatmania IIDX 21 Spada - Dark Legacy Okay, so this second match is super close. Back during my first ranking topic I had Tonitrus rated a 6.8 and Scourge of the Universe rated at 8.4, but my opinion of Tonitrus has improved considerably since then, to the point where I actually have it winning this match in my favorites bracket. First match is close too, but I feel Match 2 is the highlight of today.

Scourge of the Universe Douwa Kairou -good ol' id purpose, still making me smile. 0:58, still one of my favourite chord progressions to listen to followed by that flourish. -even if I find scourge to be a somewhat uneven experience overall, the bass synth-focused section starting at 2:24 has really grown on me. wonderful little section that lends a lot more power to the follow-up breakbeat section and is pivotal to my enjoyment of the track. -put scars of fauna in this spot and I'd probably have a tougher time, I think ...

Scourge of the Universe Dark Legacy Nice thing about round 2 is that I've already formed a baseline opinion of the songs in round 1 so I don't have to think about them as much on days when I'm rushing. Match 2 reminds me of the ToC from yesterday. Scourge is the Universe is from a game whose music I've consistently liked, but this is the weakest entrant from it in this contest. Tonitrus is lyrics that I don't like over decent instrumentals. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC ... Copied to Clipboard!
