It's bad news all right. You only made me go one for two.In post 29, Parama wrote:

I've made it through the list once; will go through it again before submitting. I'm pretty satisfied with my top two. This contest is middling, I think...?Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.- Parama

All right, that's done. Thanks for the relatively low number of 7+ minutes submissions this time~

Djibouti- Spiritbox - Bleach Bath- ok, wasnt expecting that at all and especially not out of the gate. I liked it. I would need to look up lyrics (just saw they are provided +) to follow along, but it drives. And that switch to singing is amazing...
Mauritania- Alien Weaponry - Kai Tangata- I really like these guys, especially for being like 15 or 16 yo. I get that 6+ minutes might be long, but when it comes on i roll down the windows crank the volume and jam. And just when you think you've jammed enough, they come back for more. The video is sick too.
Greenland- The Airborne Toxic Event - The Graveyard Near The House- I low key love some ATE songs. I think it goes back to when I found them, they just found a special place.
Albania- God Module - Cross My Heart- tfw you expect metal and get techno. Sounds a lot like Sandstorm. Ahh there we go, Mechno, Tetal? I dont know what it says about me but i identified with the lyrics. I didnt hate this. 2nd listen, this is an earworm for me.
Portugal- The Pink Spiders - Modern Swinger- this was better than i expected from the beginning, had me by a minute in.
USA- Retirement Party - Are You My Mother?- Sounds so much like early Brand New with female vocals that its kinda scary. I liked the rawer sound.
Macau- Joji - SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK- Im going to have nightmares of that picture. Reminds me of low fi hip hop youtube in a good way. I dug the vocals.
Bhutan- Kinokoteikoku - パラノイドパレード- very easy on the ears, i could sleep to this.
Costa Rica- Magma - Udu Wudu- I liked the layered sound they created. I feel like I should listen to more Jazz and this is a nice taste of something similar.
Poland- E-Dubble - What It Do- This was ok. I liked his bars, but felt like the hook was a little weak. It was decent and listenable though.
Greece- Regina Spektor - Ode to Divorce- I like regina spektor but would never go out of my way to find her. She has a nice ability to mess with the tempo to change the feeling of songs and I think this is a perfect example of that. Overall enjoyed this one.
Sweden-Vintersorg - Fjällets mäktiga mur (The mighty wall of the mountain)- It was ok, but not 7 minutes of my time worthy. Meh.
Pakistan- Atif Aslam - Pehli Dafa- not a fan of this.
Lebanon- Angelo De Augustine - Time (Reservoir Session)- I didn't like the vocals. The music was ok. Stop whistling.
Iran- hance the Rapper - Paranoia- I couldnt get past the bird squawking between a majority of the lines.
South Korea- SuperM - Jopping- What is Jopping? If they explained later in the sing I couldnt make it past the 4th time they said that word. I feel like I would have enjoyed it more without the subtitles and not in english.
Netherlands- Corry Konings - Ik Krijg Een Heel Apart Gevoel Van Binnen- I can't believe that voice comes out of her body... that's crazy.Show"Getting lost in the details of nothing..."

this was me last contest with the ending of Red Bull & Hennessy so it's not changing my ratings at all, but is it one specific part that's off or just the whole thing? I didn't notice anything weird with the song at first but now that I relistened there's something off I can't put my finger on, and idk if it'sIn post 35, pickemgenius wrote:i fucking hate how my song is mixed for what its worth like holy shit id dock the points of my song for how much i hate its mixing.the sound level on the vocals or something with the drums. /shrug. again, not affecting my votes, and I like the song a lot anyway.
I also think I'm the only one (commenting at least) who googled and listened to the actual entry for Netherlands although I was very tempted to not botherIf you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

(3.5/10) Pakistan - Atif Aslam - I will admit to liking Indian singing. This is a pretty unmemorable ballad however. And yeah overproduced for sure.
Costa Rica - Magma - I only got into this band recently but they are very cool and out there. The language is a made up language of a fictional planet and their albums are part of a space opera about that planet.
(2/10) South Korea - SuperM - I was not jopping to this song
(3.5/10) Lebanon - Angelo De Augustine - I'm not really a fan of his voice tbh. Its got Surfjan in it so I guess that's worth something.
(6/10) Greece - Regina Spektor - Ye I love Regina Spektor she has the best voice. This isn't one of my favorite songs by her but its p okay.
(1.5/10) Sweden - Vintersong - Not sure I have the stomach for any more metal. This doesn't seem good at all though, meh.
(1.5/10) Djibouti - Spiritbox - See above. Didn't enjoy any of this
(5.5/10) Macau - Joji - This is okayish. Don't really like his vocals too much but the song is overall mostly good
(4.5/10) Albania - God Module - This feels very early 2000s electronica. I kinda don't like how staticky it feels. Okayish otherwise.
(2.5/10) Mauritania - Alien Weaponry - The guitar riffs are okayish, but the drums and vocals are not. Enjoyed more than the other metal songs.
(4/10) USA - Retirement Party - This was okay.
(3.5/10) Greenland - The Airborne Toxic Event - Didnt do anything for me
(7/10) Iran - Chance the Rapper - This was good, enjoyed. Great lyrics, music complements well.
(7.5/10) Poland - E-Dubble - Oh yee this is really good. Its got that acoustic bass line and piano going. Nice
(5/10) Netherlands - ??? - Yeah you lose points for the meme but its a decent song so I guess you'll get some points from me.
(5/10) Portugal - The Pink Spiders - I guess this is okay? I'm not huge on garage bandy sounds
(6/10) Bhutan - Kinokoteikoku - Yeah this was pretty nice and enjoyable. Not sure what its reminding me of but its a good reminidng. Maybe The Pillows? Not amazing tho
Overall not my favorite SC but I guess I enjoyed some songs- notachipmunk
