Germany(Depeche Mode)--I saw them perform this in concert like a decade ago, was a good time. Not my favorite new-DM track but its good.
Mexico(Ghost)--I like the hints of symphonic metal in this a lot, really brings it all together.
Spain(Patrick Wolf)--This is such a time capsule of the mid-late 2000s goddamn
Canada(Camille)--This was a little too dreamy for me
Armenia(Sigur Ros)--I'm sure this is very sentimental and relatable to some people, but not me.
Iceland(Foxy Shazam)--Meanwhile, this is awesome. When the horn hits!!
eSwanti(Mumford & Sons)--Should have submitted Dust Bowl Dance from this album imo. Not that this is bad, but that song is on a whole other level.
Cote d'Ivoire(Dirt Poor Robins)--I still know shockingly little about this band, but they are a certified hit-maker. From this to even their newer albums have songs like "Welcome to Lady Hell" and "Skywriter" that are just straight fire. I like the guitarist's solos too, that's really what puts it over the top too. He has a very particular low-key style to his playing that I just salivate when I hear. This song especially just like, I love how they contextualize the rise and fall of Leviathan through the music. It's fucking as perfect a song as you can get for me.
Australia(Arctic Monkeys)--Overplay on alternative radio aside, I do like this song. Not as much as some of their earlier stuff but its good still.
USA(SycAmour)--I liked the first part.
Hungary(AnnenMayKantereit)--Definitely lo-fi but it was neat.
Azerbaijan(Within Temptation)--Man remember when this music was like actually popular and you could hear it on terrestrial radio? Good times...
Denmark(OWEL)--This seemed pretty boilerplate.
Taiwan(Mitski)--Am I the one who's gonna have to express discontent at the mitski?
Scotland(Kasabian)--I don't think this is super remarkable but I found myself nodding along.
Sudan(Lim Kim)--I feel like there is a lot going on here and I found myself going back and forth on if I liked it or not. I'm still not sure.
Central African Republic(King Crimson)--It just works.
Nicaragua(Owen Pallett)--I wasn't expecting much at first but this grows into something cool then slows back down again
Egypt(Hop Along)--Cute
Argentina(Galneryus)--Ever since I first watched Mnemosyne these guys have been on my radar, how could I hate them??
Belarus(Matthew Good)--I wanted so badly to say Matthew Bad when I saw the picture in the thread but nah this is pretty nice and chill actually.
Djibouti(Jason Richardson & Luke Holland)--Didn't really stand out to me
Iran(Mae)--Man we all just really played it safe this contest didn't we? I really liked those riffs at the very end though.
Italy(Sia)--Oh, that's who did this awful song? I thought it was some other useless ostentatious pop star.
Panama(My Chemical Romance)--Its certainly catchy.
Portugal(Ricky Montgomery)--I don't have much to say but I liked it a lot!
Gabon(Clean Bandit)--Clean Bandit has a billion awesome songs and you choose the meme one?
Greece(Meg Myers)--I can always rely on you <3
South Korea(ONEUS)--One day I'll find out why I can appreciate asian pop more than western pop. Probably less muewling involved.
Bhutan(Shugo Tokumaru)--This just makes me smile.
Belgium(Bastille)--Bastille's always been little more than background noise to me, and this didn't change that opinion but I did like it a bit more towards the end.
Norway(Lana Del Ray)--Left the worst for last, I see.
