In Search of the Holy Sword did nothing for me before, and it does nothing for me now.
Baba Yetu had the potential to be awesome. As it is, it's merely neat. I wish there were more parts, more development. Still, it's a breath of fresh air amidst the usual stuff. Vocal songs can be really powerful.  Shadowlands Battle Music (Remix) is a pretty weak SotW winner. It sounds like generic background music. And by background, I mean something you wouldn't particularly notice while playing the game. At least, until the piano part; that was somewhat interesting. Chocolate Outline is a very solid song from Age of Mythology, one of my favorite under-appreciated soundtracks. It starts out slow and develops well. It features great use of percussion (hey, it won Percussion Week, after all), which is always a big plus for me. already settled down... is a nice piece. Fly! is a great piece. It has the distinction of winning the best week in a long time. I hadn't heard Deep Red Pastures before (missed that week), so I wasn't sure what to expect. What I got is a nice piece featuring piano and a healthy dose of percussion. It honestly didn't resonate with me, though, for whatever reason. I like See the Sun Burn, though I don't feel it was a song that deserved to take 1st place in SotW. Point spread: Baba Yetu - 2 pts. Fly - 2 pts. Chocolate Outline - 2 pts. Overall, this is a so-so crop of winners. Jam it back in, in the dark.
Check out my original music at my Soundcloud page!
