sneakyblueberry - The New Caledonia: Electro Legs
One hell of a groovy song. Every new section that the song goes into just has something I like and every instrument does its job in it as well with it highlight moment. Even with all the changes that the song goes through, it just all fits together even though there are certain parts I like more than others. There are parts which I do wish they extended a bit longer although am glad that sometimes they will play them more than once in the song. Also I know lots of music of this kind is like that, I feel at times they jammed all these cool ideas they had into one song that do fit together but wish at times towards the end they would've kept it more focused on some of the ideas already introduced but I feel like that goes with how familiar you are with the song which means I have to listen to it more. As well as moments of feeling like it sounds familiar to other songs I've heard but still maintaining its own identity and sound which is a really good thing. Anyway, groovy song.
Score: 8/10
LordCost - Native Construct: Mute
So I knew of this band way before their first album came out thanks to one of their videos I saw years ago of the two guitarists playing one of their songs. Never took the time to listen to their album but had heard maybe just 2 song from it. I can see why you said it has a BTBAM influence in the PM you sent because it is there and you can hear it. They do a good job as well with that sound and come up with some cool ideas in their song. I will fall in the category as well of this song is going to have grow a bit more on me because while it has lots of parts that I like and I think are cool, it also has other moments where I kinda feel like are ust okay or don't really hook me. Although it does build up to a pretty good ending but its similar to lots of other songs I have listened to and doesn't stick that much out compared to them.
Score: 7/10
Nekov - Dream the Electric Sleep: How Long We Wait
So I like the sound and rhythm of this song right off the bat as well as how catchy this song was with me thanks to the vocal melody in the chorus with memorable guitar sound in the background helping with the melody of that section. I wish most of the song was like the first part of it because of how much I like it or enjoy listening to it because although the rest is pretty good and can see them still having a slow section for the song, I think it would've been better if it was shorter and the song ended how it started. I also like the singer's vocals as well and has some really good vocal sections in like I mentioned before.
Score: 8/10
Lucien - Stephen Wilson: Symphony #1, Movement 1
Some original work from you again I believe. So I will keep this short because I feel like I could talk about this piece of a work a bit and ask questions about it but that can be some time later. First of all, I like it. Has many good ideas and great captivating moments. Each section it moves on time has either really good string or a flute section or both at the same time which is pretty much the whole time so honestly I should just say the whole song. Problem that I had was that I feel like some of its parts lose its luster because of how long the piece is and how it changes when most of the beginning it has its cycle and repeating pattern I guess you can say. I also feel like its length would work more of course with it being played as a companion to a video telling a story that fits the mood of the song or something because that's exactly the feeling I get from this. As if it were telling a story.
Score: 8/10
Sacul - Bent Knee: Being Human
I think this will make you even more happier that I came back and am finishing this. This song caught me off guard. I didn't expect it to grab me so quickly and right away and have me wanting to keep on listening to it more and more to the point that I decided to start listening to the whole album. At first I was wondering why I liked it so much but just keep on listening to it and enjoying it. Then I realized I just liked everything about it. The vocals which are amazing, the riffs, the guitar, the bass, the drums, the violin, the everything. This actually feels to me like an epic song in a short and to the point length. It was just stuck in my head most of the time that I wasn't listening to any music and I feel like it'll be a while before I get tired of it.
Score: 10/10
Scorpion - Infected Mushroom: Becoming Insane
Interesting choice song as to seeing as not much electronic music is usually picked in open rounds in my experience but I am always up for it. Not familiar with Infected Mushroom so my first experience with their music. So first of all, I just want to say that this song just reminds of some Japanese street racing games I used to play with my cousin years ago which had soundtracks full of music like this which were good. So that's what this song makes me feel like doing, playing a racing game or going out, driving a car at night listening to this. I liked it and feel like I can crank this out every once in a while to pump myself off. Not too memorable or anything to me though like some other trance songs I know or compared to songs in this round.
Score: 7/10
Tyrias - Susanne Sundfor: The Brothel
I dug this ballad more than I thought I would. I can be really picky or dismissive with songs like these lots of times but when I like a song like this, I really do like them. With it being petty much just vocals and organs, it really does a good job of building a nice tragic, as well as beautiful sounding atmosphere to the song. Really the highlight of this song are the vocals and just how nice they are and comforting to listen to. That's what I like a ballad to be to me. Comforting.

So to round 7 which will be open again. Do you guys care about the write ups or would just prefer me write like a one sentence write up and the score, just the score, or keep on writing them. I ask because I feel like I suck at them and do at bad job at explaining what I like about the songs sometimes and don't know if you guys care about them or not.
