Song of the Week - WEEK 60 Voting/WEEK 61 Nominating

Bionic Commando - I like this song. I wrote more comments but lost them, so I'll just say I hated the vibrato but the rest of it was fun.

Delicious Selection/Gamadelic - In terms of melody and composition, this song is astounding. The vocals are astoundingly BAD, however. Jesus, replace that woman with a violin and you have musical genius. YUCK. This song is a total contradiction.

Kagero - This does a good job at being moody, but... that melody doesn't really go anywhere. I did some cleaning in my room as this song was playing, and when it looped, I thought "...that's it?" Not a good reaction. It succeeds at being dark and depressing, though. >_>

Mr. Driller - Instant entry into my cool songs playlist. The audio quality isn't the greatest, but HOT DAMN is that some sweet melody action, and I've always been a sucker for violin. If anything, I wish the violin didn't sound so crappy, it detracts from the rest of the song and makes the drums overpower the violin in spots.

Street Fighter EX - Hm... I'm extremely biased when it comes to Street Fighter tracks. There's a certain feel to a track that I always expect when I read "Street Fighter". And this track... does a passable job of achieving that feel, but it's too laidback in spots, and it also feels too much like a Mega Man X track. While I understand it's still Capcom, it just doesn't feel right. Also, this is probably the only case that I'll ever complain about piano being in a song, since again, that's not what Street Fighter is about. Removing myself from my STREET FIGHTER BIAS, this song is pretty good, with nice progression and really smooth transitions between sections. I just don't know if I can get over my bias. >=(

Gran Turismo 4 - HOT DAMN! PLAY THAT FUNKY MUUUUUUUUSIC JAPANESE MAN! PLAY THAT FUNKY MUUUSIC RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT! Honestly, this would be AWESOME in my car, blasting at full volume. I should bring my iPod into the house. This is... so... damn... awesome! Any music that gets me typing and dancing at the same time deserves points from me. This is EXCELLENT, and this is exactly what Song of the Week is about. YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES.

Treasure Hunter G - Honestly, I'm not a fan of Sakimoto's faux-synth compositions. I've never understood what others see in what to me comes off as boring, flat, and uninspired, and this track is no different.

Wonder Project J2 - This is an interestingly composed track. It has a very epic, DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN YOU BEAT THE GAME feel to it, and even with the low bitrate, it's still fun to listen to. In fact, I think it enhances the track somewhat, since it really manages to make the N64's crappy synth seem more like the more tolerable SNES synth.

And now for points!

3 points for Gran Turismo 4
2 points for Mr. Driller
1 point for Delicious Selection, because even though I hated the voices, the rest of the song was quite good.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Figures the first week I vote in 6 weeks, a track I didn't like wins.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
