Song of the Week - WEEK 50 Voting/WEEK 51 Nominations

Well, I'm glad about two things:

1. I'm rejoining SOTW fun on one of the best weeks I've heard yet.
2. I'm glad I didn't get around to nominating anything.

1st-Deadbolt

Finally decided on making this number 1. It takes a bit to get started, but thankfully, the build-up is worth it and it does get better as it goes along. Love that guitar, especially after the 2:00 point. Works well with the sax and the beats. Different and enjoyable.

2nd-Dream Traveler

Good tracks like this are rare for me. Very rarely does this combination of instruments and sounds make for such a thoughtful melody. It is beautiful and I rarely use that word when describing tracks like this. I could probably listen to this for hours at a time.

3rd-Dry Canyon

Stewart Copeland=good shit. I always liked the music from the Spyro games and this is as good a sample as any I can think of from that series. Percussion-driven, understatedly frantic, bright and just enough melody inplemented.

And the rest:

4th-Fate

I actually liked this track quite a bit...There aren't any dead spots, the melody is solid and the piano backdrop works. The last minute is a nice change of pace. Overall, solid orchestratin'.

5th-Crown

:fish: Yeah, that pretty much describes me and this track. Normally, 5th place is a throw-away spot, but this is still great. Main issue I have with it is the melody isn't much to go with and it's mostly an 80's-mood track. Cool groove though, but far from the best the "of Thunder" series has to offer.

6th-Track 12

Kind of a drop-off between 5th and 6th spots. Hard to explain...The melody is good in spots, but the track as a whole isn't something I find all that interesting and isn't quite near Fate this week, as far as orchestratinerin' goes.

7th-Scotland the Brave

Eh...Mostly moody stuff with some celtic strings thrown in for good measure. I'm not impressed.

Song of the Weak: I'll Take You Underwater

I would but this track is already under a lot of other things at the moment. I imagine this is a parody of some kind.



And to cap things off: I nominate "Area 13 and 14" from Yo! Noid.
