Many people use the oppurtunity to talk about why they nominated the piece, or to give a detailed breakdown of why they like it. As far as points go, you're free to give your nom the full 3 points. Some, myself included, also try to stack the deck by awarding 1 point to three other songs, reducing their chances of placing. EDIT:
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

F-Zero Climax (Game Rip) - Illusion Somewhere, writ large in stone, is an immutable commandment: RACERS SHALT HAVE DULL TECHNO/ROCK MUSIC. So it is written, so it is done. Few are those who dare defy this edict, and Illusion is not among their number.
Genocide 2 Master of the Dark Communion (Sharp X68000 Game Rip) - Stage 3-2 - Enter Secretly Like a racer song only with with substance and synthy melody. Not exactly attention-grabbing, as noted eslewhere, but a solid if undemanding listen. GunValkyrie Official Soundtrack - Killing bedroom A neat, though repetitive, tune. I found some of the instrumental textures interesting, but I kept wishing a melody would appear and marshall them to greater purpose. Perfect Collection Ys IV ~ The Dawn of Ys Volume 3 - Illusion Our second track called "Illusion" this week (surprised no one else has noticed that) is far stronger than the first. The reverb here is used to interesting effect, especially once it's formed into a melody. Definitely not your standard fare, and interesting enough to make me want to overlook weaknesses in execution (the long sections of nothing but reverb'd plinks, for example). Royal Blood - Flame A mess. Yea, there is writ a second commandment on that great rock of VGM. It doth read: ALL ORIENTAL-STYLE MUSIC SHALT BE GENERIC OR SHALT SUCK. Fewer still are those songs that spurn these two holy writs, and surely "Flame" be guilty of one. Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz (Game Rip) - Staff Credit Game I guess I was expecting something cutsier from a game with the word "banana" in the title--the "bananas" suggested by this track are of a wholly different type. I like the melody, but there are a lot of parts that don't feature it. Superfrog (Amiga Game Rip) - Ancient Pyramid (World 4) Definitely got the Egyptian part of the whole pyramid equation down, and it's not a bad song once the other instruments kick in, but I was hoping for something a bit more complex. Timesplitters 2 (Game Rip) - Training Ground Where militaristic tunes are concerned, the question is always the relationship between the melodic and rhythmic aspects of the track. It's easy for repetitive snares and percussion elements to dominate a track, and that's exactly what happens here. There are some nice flourishes, though. What better way for _DH_ to return than by adding another statuette to his trophy room? I'm nothing if not envious  The Point Spread Ys - 2 pts. Genocide - 2 pts. GunValkyrie - 2 pts. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
