It's unusual to see Set it Off rap, even if it's for a little. I don't really 100% understand the song meaning, but seems kinda catchy. (B)

Flowers of Hell – Amalee
A surprisingly obscure title -- overshadowed by same named songs of orchestral origins -- Flowers of Hell is catchy and mighty exciting. (B+)
Archie – Back Again
Cleverly using Hip-hop like rapping and a nice electronic beat, the song ensures I will be *back again*, and again, to listen to this song. (A)
Caelestinum Finale Termini by Yu-peng chen
The beginning is a little weak, but the soaring voices are very dramatic without overdoing it. Great work and one of the best of Genshin soundtrack. (A)
Brictom – Eluveitie
This song may seem like a severe outlier in my list from the title, but I assure you I like quite a bit of Celtic type songs. I have no idea what the song is about, but it trudges along fine like a medieval Scottish town. Even if it is admittedly a little messy at … Continue reading Brictom – Eluveitie
Gold rush – Emma Stevens
The unique guitar opening and bridge proves Emma has the creativity to work well. however, the four chord progression and unimpressive chorus combine to destroy the message in the foot. Yes, its a love song, *seemingly* not symbolic of her success in pop music. But I argue the song contradicts its meaning, especially since the … Continue reading Gold rush – Emma Stevens
Gawr Gura – Reflect
The song is double edged with Gawr's childish voice. However, the "double sided duet" idea is very interesting, especially the interruptions with Greek and Japanese vs English. The Arabic influences make the chorus and bridges slightly weaker, but overall the song is very unique. I like it. (B+)
Prada – 24kGoldin
A talentless cursed autotune nonsense song. 13/100.
Static-P – Nightmare
It has a very childish feel and seems intended for younger audiences, especially with the caricature type villain and the young sounding voices. Still... I'd say it's certainly better than pure autotune rap songs about adult nonsense. (C)
Giorgio Gaber IL – Conformista
In looking for the opposite of Simply Three's relatively catchy string "pop song", Conformista might ironically be *more maverick* than Maverick, with its quirky tune and political statement. Sadly, it doesn't quite pack the punch of Simply Three's song's Hook. Overall, not too shabby. (B-)
