The Tuskrus II - Revealify

Lol.

11 points for fixxxer in a shock result for God Knows - The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Notes:

hearing the first bit of this i already know who submitted it. HOpeuflly he proves me wrong this time round. crash, here we go. I like the intro. tidy solo. music is nice. vocals are bit off. U can tell it's an anime type track with the way the vocals are. but the song itself is nice. Very busy and the levels are a bit all over the place. A lot of mess and interference. I'm assuming the video has a big crowd or somehting and maybe this isn't in a clean version of the song? solid rock vibes in the BG. Hard to really hear it well with all the crowd antics tbh. wish it was a clean version, because I think i'd enjoy it a whole lot more. nice solo. GG. I'm delighted I finally liked one of your submissions!

Osh with 10 points for Princess Mononoke

For some reason I can't find notes for this one

Remaining result will be posted tomorrow folks. Get your party hats at the ready

@Irish Aris scoops up 9 points for Accidentally in Love - Counting Crows

Notes:

proper early 2000s vibes off this from the get go. i mean, these songs when you already know them quite well. It's so hard to be objective. that chorus tho. so catchy. come on come on. it's a classic. nice little flutey flourish. the prechorus is a nice little unexpected downturn, that leads into the chorus, giving it a bit more oomph. it's a bitt of a soft song. like could it benefit from a bit of power? i don't know. that little riff reminds me of avril lavigne. yeah. it was grand.

8 points = no worries for @Sawduck with Hakuna Matata

Notes:

oh a classic aye. it means no worries. I feel like this is a cheat entry because everyone knows it so well. What's a motto with you. Is it even possible to listen to this objectively? The simba bit is the best. I mean. half of it is talking. I'mma just throw a score down and come back at the end to see where i sit

7 points for @Arghus and his Sing Along by Sturgill Simpson

Notes:

noice. techno intro. yeah deece. seems a bit dissonant. bit's of it don't seem to fit well. I'm finding this a lot with some of these songs. like you really have to be watching to get the full understanding of the music. it's ok though. i like the vocal melody. and the technologik vibes. not blown away tho at all.

Next up is @phatkev with a sixer for The Art of Dying - Gojira

Notes:

oooh mongolian throat singing. i'm down. nice beats. let's go. oh let's go. ..... are we going to go? ok here we go. i think. Some bass in there. very low. oh ****. woah. head blast. i have no words. just headbaniging. yes. i like. could do with some variation tho. there we go. oh no. screaming. man i just can't get on board with screamers. I like heavy music, but i just cant get into the style of vocals. ever. just doesn't do it for me at all. Ok, i need to disregard this, so i can enjoy the music. lovely drum rolls. I would happily listen to this without the vocals. this is a 'clean the office' song for me. yeah i really like this. oh interesting epic sounds coming in now. man if there was actual singing in this, it would be so good. beat attack. lovely. i don't mind some of the screams, but if it was punctuated with some nice vocals it would make me happy. i'm so conflicted with this, because for me it could be very very high, but the vocals screw it up for me. nice melodic riff here now. This is a long song. I have a meeting soon.... they really like to find a tune and stick with it for the long run. like 8 thousand bars of the same thing can get a bit boring... just sayin. fade out. very nice, but again, same thing for a long time. you almost get lost in it and it becomes just muddled. Overall. really liked the music. hated the vocals. dissapointed with the composition. oh wait is it not over. we've some ambient tunes coming in now. nice. aaaand now i'm bored again.

Purple something or other comes in with 5 points for Sorcerer's Apprentice

Notes:

this brings back a memory or two. another case of a song composed too tightly with the visuals. which doesn't really lend itself too heavily to audio only. i just want to fast forward so much. song only really gets going at 2.5 minutes. sorry i can't listen. I'mma give it a score based on memory.

(it's been nearly two years and my brain aint what it used to be. don't take it personally purp :D)

@mustang sally with the last 4 points before the bottom three.... and the King of Pride Rock

Notes:

hans. you can't go wrong with hans. top lad. proper music here. like if you didn't know what it was from, you could mistake for being directly off a classical music album. I actually go round humming this main melody a lot of the time. it's had such an effect on me. we go into the jestery movement now and back to some more serious tones. evil tones. man has mastered music development. it's a full on epic story built out in just music notes. something bad is afoot. it's fantastic. but. but. it's not getting me there in walrus terms. It's too ambient and environmental to really get me going. although that main melody. my god. like 20 years later and it still hurts everytime i hear it. rip mufasa

HERE WE GO!

In Third top place, @ShaneU with 21 points for Landon Pigg & Lucy Schwartz - Darling I Do

Notes:

easy breazy intro. oh soft and airy vocals. the female's vocals are beautiful. the males are good too, but i was taken aback by her's . not sure if I know this song. doesn't ring a bell. i like it. youre one is tickling my fancy quite nicely. I think i may add this to my own performances. a lovely song to sing.

@Trigger takes second with Immortals - Fall out Boy (Big Hero 6) and bags a delightful 22 points.

Notes:

oh yeah. nice intro. sounds very michael jacksony, this vocal. i like it. ooh ooh ooh oooh. yeah i'm down for this. yeah. oh some glitchy vocals there. me like. this is a belter. i feel like this is soooo familiar. is it stealing from an older song, or is it just that i know it? mad. feels strange. I really like it. never really paid much attention to falloutboy, but this is surprisingly up my alley. love the kind of asian undertones. the imoo-ooo-ooo bit is tidy. that break just at the end there into the riff was a bit abrupt. but enjoyed that.
