I'm feeling more strongly than ever about Temporal Rift (how did I not notice that those beeps were creating lines of their own until today?), but sadly...well, as is typical of all my faves...

Second match is close but a fairly easy choice... but if it were a preferred Adachi track like Ballonlea, that one would have gotten my vote easily.

Trees in the Depths of the Earth - 7.5
eh there's better KSS songs

Temporal Rift - 8
nice song I like

pray nightly - 7.5
cool song but it feels like it kinda coasts on the one idea ig

Stow-on-Side - 8
pleasant song, kinda reminds me of Bloons Monkey City LMAO

Green Scream (VAMPIRE SAVIOR) CAP-JAMS Ver. - 7.25
neat piano but no real cohesive melody I feel

A Muzzle Dancing in Hatred (Fire Tower) - 7.75
bit too much buildup but the main part is good

The reputation Trees in the Depths of the Earth has as a classic Kirby song belies how stressful it sounds. The beating, the rattling of those drums doesnt let up, and the adventurous melody feels so small by comparison, like its trying to escape. And indeed, by 1:24 its gone, only the stern percussive melody left to end the song.

Love Exodus is a sad name for a computery song mashup. Too much fakeness, nothing real? I dont mind simulated emotions. If they come off as forced, exaggerated, or uncanny in some way, well, that can be interesting too.
