Lonestar - Redemption - Peel
A powerful tune. I like the use of the keys both when they’re providing background as well as driving with the melody. The song is pretty consistent and flows well though nothing stands out to me.
Score: 5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tyrias - The National - Wake up your saints
So this is “happy”?
Nice tune with a slow buildup with a good work from the piano. Everything is quite simple but that’s alright because it all fits together. I find the pace of the song soothing even though it’s not slow.
Score: 7

Freezingpoint - Shiny Toy Guns - Wait for me
Weirdest song of the bunch by far. You took a risk and I’d say it payed off. The intro is a bit misleading but right after that the song shows what it’s about. Both vocals are great and the music is obviously thought to support them. The electronic elements bring a different and refreshing feeling to the already soothing mood.
Score: 7
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucien - Alexander Borodin - Polovetsian Dances
Another nice piece of classical music. This one more mellow than the one you sent before but not as solid. The individual sections are nice yet the transitions seem a bit forced and attempt against the natural flow of the song and eventually it gets a bit stale.
Score: 4

Jingle.boy - Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland
Very nice intro and some good ol’ rockin right after that. I like that the song is more piano led, contrary to what I would expect from Springsteen. Closer to the middle of the song it starts getting a bit boring and loses all the great momentum it had built upon which is a bit of a shame. It does seem to wanna pick up at the end but it’s just too late.
Score: 5

Dr. DTVT - Fish - Vigil in a wilderness of mirrors
The song starts out very calm and my first impression was boring but after listening to what comes after I think it’s fine since it provides a nice setup to the buildup that comes after. The song turns out really nice and beautiful, I love happy music and this qualifies as that. Even better because it has good instrumentation and sets some good moods.
Score: 7
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scorp - Beyond the bridge - The call
Powerful song. It’s another quite standard prog metal song that is good but lacks that something special that makes a band stand out.
Score: 5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adace - Hammock - I can almost see you
So soothing and peaceful. I just felt my whole body relax while listening to this song. My mind turned blank and everything was allright. It is incredible how much I get immerse into this one.
Score: 9
