[SotW] Song of the Week - WEEK 219 Voting/WEEK 220 Nominating

Finally, an average week.

3 points: Battle Mode - Steamboat
2 points: Scramble Attack
1 point: Underworld Cherry Blossoms (Stage 3)
Just Missed: Darwin's Spirit, those two vocal tunes

Rofl at the vocal spillover from the previous week. Most likely wouldn't have given either Shining Constellation or Kono Subarashiki points had they appeared last week, though they're still solid, if a bit generic. What was up with that abrupt shift at the beginning of Kono Subarashiki, though? I'll probably never know.

I was 80% certain that Sunlight was going to be another vocal when it started up. And, to be honest, I probably would've liked it better if it was that, instead of the sax-infused pop fusion we got here.

Darwin's Spirit: I like the earthy tribal feel here. Cool choral work too. But arghhh why is it so short? This tune sets itself up for tons of development and doesn't deliver, a huge shame.

Twilight Zone: Sounds like one of those tunes that play during one of those "psychological thriller"-type indie games that exist everywhere on the internet. What, and why.

I'll admit, I haven't heard this GUWANGE Arrange album yet (there's 4 of them, right), so Underworld Cherry Blossoms is new to me. Surprisingly nice piano work, especially in the beginning, and nice percussive noise throughout. Melody sounds a bit different, though that's a non-issue, I'm very pleased with this arrangement.

Best tune this week by far by far (that isn't my nom) is Scramble Attack. I've listened to this like 30+ times it is so awesome oh my god

So yeah, not the best week, though previous weeks have set my standards ridiculously high.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
