By the way, I admire you guys for not being afraid to send some more mainstream sounding songs.
Best song(5 points):
TheVoxyn: Anathema - Dreaming LightI don't know what to say except this song is really awesome. I've been recommended Anathema many times but had never actually gotten anything from them, but wow this is great. The singer is really awesome and it has that definite uplifting vibe to it. It was really what was on my mind when making this round. Congrats.
High tier(4 points):
The King In Crimson: Banana Man - Tally Hall Alright enough with the laughs, but I gotta say you took a big risk this round, and it paid off. Despite the fact both the song and music video are completely insane and kinda stupid, I actually thought this song kicked major ass (probably because of the insanity and stupidity). But now it's probably gonna be stuck in my head for quite a while.
ariich: BT - Good Morning KaiaThis song started out pretty depressing, but it got the upliftingness later on. This song was absolutely gorgeous and accompanied with the video is even better. It really is an uplifting one, great job.
Middle Tier(3 points):
jsem: A.C.T - The EffectYeah, you were right. This song is rather cheesy. But it didn't bother me because I really liked the song. The verses had a great sort of vibe to it (which for some reason reminded me of I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)) and this song was overall a fun listen.
zxlkho: dredg - Bug EyesYeah, the lyrics here definitely don't match up to the mood of the song itself.
But still, great song. Another band I've heard of but never gotten around to. This song had a nice accessibility to it and overall I enjoyed it.
Medium Low Tier(2 points):
DTVT: Fulfej - Work in this UniverseAnother accessible one. The choice here was incredibly difficult between this one and Bug Eyes. Anyways, this one definitely had optimistic lyrics and the vibe too. I like the chorus, thought it was pretty great. Overall a great song, and I feel bad for only giving it 2 points.
Gorille85: Jonsi - Go DoAnother song I wish I could've given more. Anyway, my thoughts on the link were "Jonsi? Didn't know he had a solo career." I then opened the link and said "NNNNOOOOOOO!!!" because I recognized it from a Ford Explorer commercial.
It annoyed me in the commercial, but as a whole this song ain't half bad at all. It probably is the happiest song sent this round, and it was pretty good.
Bottom tier(1 point):
dtismajesty: Gregory and the Hawk - DoubtfulAlright this song wasn't
bad. I liked the guitar quite a bit and she had a great voice (except I thought it sounded kinda awkward how her voice jerks up in the chorus). It just didn't really work for me.
Still, it wasn't a bad song, it just didn't give me all that much enjoyment. Sorry.
