Yay this is happening soon :)

I look firward to all the songs people entered not expecting points!
That's the whole point of this, sharing not pandering.

Now I don't know the stats but I believe I am in an elite group who has sent at least one song they couldn't even finish!

I think I take all the cake here :)

Maybe I can do it from work...

Sweden: Avatarium - Boneflower
Ooo this is a fun start!
I really like their sound and the vocals work really well with the style :)
Also I like the video. Crazy weird in a very fun way!



Greenland: Mr. Bungle - None Of Them Knew They Were Robots
This is totally strange, but intentionally so which makes it really intriguing!
I wouldn't like, go out of my way to listen to it, but I appreciate what they were going for.
How tf do I even rate this!?
Also Lol @the Amadeus section



Poland: The Hush Sound - The Boys Are Too Refined
Ooo! This is right up my alley!
The switch between voices is so smooth! :O
Yeah, this made it into the playlist of songs I've found in the contest and really liked! Well chosen :)



Djibouti: Emily Blunt - The Cover is Not the Book
Okay yes this is mine and I knew it wouldn't get too many points, but hear me out.
It's a good tune from a good movie with a good message! It's a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it, probably my favourite from this movie!
So I do hope at least someone enjoyed it!
I do with they had a studio/radio version so it was a little more polished/less movie scene-y, but oh well!



Yemen: Pep - Devagarinho
So this was not what I was expecting at all.
Uh, I mean if I were driving down the street in slow-mo in a movie in a "fuck da police" manner I would definitely crank the bass on this and be a badass!
I see no other time to play it though.



Iceland: Ancestors - The Warm Glow
Hmm...I mean, it's alright, but the guitar really is too much for my liking. Honestly just not a fan of electric guitars in most iterations, including this one. Might like it otherwise, but meh.



South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands: Nielson - IJskoud
Hellz yeah South Georgia! this is exactly what I like to hear! =D
Love all of this!



Slovenia: Turmion Kätilöt - Love is Dead
This is like...Techno-Metal!?!?
Why do I like this!?
WTF! XD



Egypt: Stella Donnelly - Old Man
Solid song, would listen again!



USA: Makena - Better Days
I can tell by the intro it's not going to score highly, but as this song goes on it's not bad. Meh again.
Became less appealing as the song progressed tbh.



Peru: Orangestar featuring IA -
Guy
Alice in Freezer
This is fun and simple, and I like the vocals, though I don't anticipate this is a widely held opinion.
The repetitive note hits are really catchy for the ear, especially being so high!
Like, this almost has to be a theremin. Is this a theremin!?!?
Plus there's a fun breakdown in the middle and a fucking key change at the end! Love it XD



Hungary: Tose Proeski - Nemas ni blagodaram
Very dramatic and emotional! I wish I could understand it because I bet this has great story behind it!



Latvia: Bleed From Within - Bed of Snakes
Oh God No
My body instinctively went into a defensive position the second this started.
Next.



South Korea: Lady Gaga - Always Remember Us This Way
Lady Gaga is still eligible for these things!?!?
Fantastic choice! =D
She is really good and I hate that her vocal talents are overlooked so often!


This is the first time I've gotten this far through and still had slots left to fill without having to cut songs :O
3 to fill in the past 4 songs, or I'll figure it out I guess.
I don't know why I bolded this but it seemed like a fun note so *shrugs*


Greece: Amy MacDonald - Your Time Will Come
I feel like I've heard something like this before. I like it! Such a weird familiarity though.
Anyone help?? I swear I know this! But like, not this!



Liechtenstein: Shawn Wasabi - Otter Pop
Tbh ZedZee I expected this to be a joke entry as you've done in the past. I was pleasantly surprised! =D
Honestly this is so cute and great and gah! Nicely done!
I just wanna Otter Pop now!



Bhutan: Ted Leo and The Pharmacists - Biomusicology
Hmm...I dunno the voice was a little harsh for the music or something. I didn't think it melded as well as it could have. He needs a bigger ensemble imo, which I don't say very often.



Venezuela: Aan - Wet and Dripping
Oooo this is cool!
The intro has such a dreadful suspense built into it!
GDI I JUMPED when he started singing! Hahaha
Honestly, well played! And while more intense than I'd usually listen to, this is pretty good.
Oh man and that break in the middle and the follow up is just great!



Good contest everyone!

Now for my favourite part - comparing my notes to Parama's =D

In post 50, Psyche wrote:i don't think parama likes music at all!
Now Now, I went through and found all the recent "Excellent" rankings from Parama.
In post 34, Parama wrote:Iceland – Just my favorite song from my favorite game of the year so far. Excellent game, excellent tune. Enough said.
In post 80, Parama wrote:Iceland – I love pretty much everything about this song, the slow & chill intro (that guitar tone GOSH), and especially the entire second half just jamming on that one groove. Such a great groove, the drums are friggin’ excellent. Ends way too soon if you ask me but it’s the kind of thing I’d be okay with just having loop forever.
In post 178, Parama wrote:Iceland – Honestly this is probably the album I’ve listened to the most in the past year or so. It’s just. So refreshing & interesting. Just friggin’ excellent synergy between guitar, bass, and drums, and they basically just write cool jams in nonstandard keys. The production is great too, that bass sounds legitimately sexy. I don’t think any one particular song on this album is a real standout but this is my favorite by a slim margin.
The 3 most recent, though I had to go back to contest 107 to get them.

As an interesting note, who TF is Iceland!?!?!? Because Dayum!

In post 54, Parama wrote:i'm iceland lol
i don't give scores to my own songs i just comment on why i sent it

anyways it was only like 2-3 contests ago where i said that all my top 3 were pretty dang good & i checked out the albums for all of them
No wonder you think they have excellent taste! XD

I went all the way back to 124 and couldn't find a co test with more than one "GOOD" ranking but I skimmed. Also there were like 2-3 of those rankings in all contests between then and now :P (125 you didn't vote so it does skew numbers a bit, but it's the last 5 you reviewed)

In post 58, Parama wrote:@ ari I do second listens to most songs and sometimes my opinions change
Oooh ya know that makes a lot of sense!

I usually do a second listen to the top 3 to ensure they're ranked properly and any ones I'm unsure about, but generally not the full list.
