I would've been except you just pointed it out so now I'm guaranteed not to be cut

Anyways with how much persona 5 I've been playing it makes too much sense for me to be sending a Japanese artist now, hah

i don't know if it's due to my sleep-deprived crankiness but i didn't like this contest at all.

This is my favorite out of the 3 I've watched.

I'm surprised by the Glass Animals song choice.
So many great songs from that album (a brilliant album, I might add), and I never would have ranked this as one.
Very much love the artist though.

Can I get a working video for chad though?

Psyche · Post Post #134 (ISO) » Tue Jun 20, 2017 3:14 pm

glass animals is enterable?
eh i guess it's been a while

DeathNote · Post Post #135 (ISO) » Tue Jun 20, 2017 3:15 pm

all 26
important note though that "For the Glory of Olde Virginia" was uploaded out of youtube but I found a mirror on the band's channel; you should probably listen to the entered version

I must confess, the first few tracks in I was dreading what I'd got myself into. But it soon picked up.

Max · Post Post #140 (ISO) » Tue Jun 20, 2017 3:31 pm

That's my vague first listen, but I'm going to set aside some time to listen again this week. There's a couple out of the running completely. But afghanistan up could rejig substantially. First listens are difficult to gauge.

found 'oh no 2' mediocre
it may be a good work of art but i can't give points to music that i can't enjoy more fundamentally than that

DeathNote · Post Post #143 (ISO) » Tue Jun 20, 2017 3:34 pm

I got excited when I thought someone put in a Christian song. Bummer...

Psyche · Post Post #144 (ISO) » Tue Jun 20, 2017 3:36 pm

flip flap sounds like a rehash of a code geass outro
i can't last the full 5:15

Excited in the sense that no one here would be so bold... I was looking forward to something different.

heck yeah last place in empire's rankings

Psyche · Post Post #149 (ISO) » Tue Jun 20, 2017 3:42 pm

red jumpsuit apparatus song sounds overly sentimental, lacks subtlety, no clear innovation deviant from what already comes up or has come up on the radio
the flaws remind me of "A Great Big World", except with lighter production and of course greater rock influences

wow i just noticed that they literally have "great big world" in their lyrics
to me that confirms my opinion
