Kaga Misaki 「加賀岬」フル FULL - 9. My knowledge of Asian culture is quite modest, so to me, this sounds as if the Liyue soundtrack were suddenly recorded by Wagakki Band and named after an aircraft carrier. And it sounds cool.

The U.S.S. Make Sh*t Up by Aurelio Voltaire (BiTrektual Version) OFFICIAL - 6. As far as I can tell, it's kind of a take on a shanty (a sailor's song); I think I like that sort of thing, and the beginning is indeed energetic, but then it gets repetitive. I honestly tried to listen closely to the lyrics, but understood very little. And what, are all the songs about aircraft carriers this year? (Enterprise, and yes, I realized that in this case it's a spaceship)

Remember Your Name – The nightingale has a good song (lyrics by Sergey Esenin) - 8. I can't describe exactly why, but I liked it. That same mysterious "atmosphere" that sometimes wins me over in songs is present here. Plus, Esenin is good.

The Guest - Soundtrack 3 (Annie - Anthonio) - 6. Musically it seemed amusing right away, but the "artificial" vocals were off-putting. Although you get used to them closer to the end.

Dorohedoro Ending 3 Full - (K)NoW_NAME『D.D.D.D. 』- 5. Like the previous one, this is somewhere between 5 and 6, but I liked the sound itself less here.

FAUN "Tanz mit mir" (Duett mit Santiano) [Teaser | HD] - 9. I've heard this track, it popped up randomly somewhere. But I think it was longer. A good band, even though I'm not crazy about them. I wanted to lower the score because it's very short, but whatever.

Rednex - Cotton Eye Joe (Official Music Video) [HD] - RednexMusic com - 7. On one hand, it's objectively a hit, very well made. But on the other — as a "slight fan" of real country and related genres, it upsets me a bit that the opinion of country is often formed by songs exactly like this. Therefore, I can't rate it higher than, say, Solovushka or the Japanese. By the way, only now did I realize that it's like "VIA Rednecks" performing the song — I always read the artist's name as "rendex" and never thought about what it meant.

Ushanocka.wmv - 3. Well, it's clear that it's kind of a joke, but no. This isn't the worst of the chanson, of course, but it's far from something I could like.

Daron Malakian And Scars On Broadway - Guns Are Loaded[New Song]2018 - 8. I love some System songs, but it feels like Daron is missing something without Serj. The guitars sound very tasty, so a plus for that.

Graves - 6. Seems objectively good, but it didn't click. Perhaps it's just "not my style," which needs to be listened to more.

It Was Fear of Myself That Made Me Odd - 7. Looking at the cover, I thought it was going to be psyche, or horror-punk. So I was surprised when some Cure-esque stuff started at the beginning. Respect for the idea — combining post-punk with metalcore is beautiful. But the metalcore part itself fell short — the sound became somewhat crushed, and the vocals are strange. I liked the sound of Daron's much more.

Santiano - Gott muss ein Seemann sein (Official Video) - 9. Alright, let's have another nine, you convinced me. A tiny bit too poppy, but I liked the vocals, and the bagpipes in the background sound very successful.

Kovacs - The Devil You Know (Official Video) - 8. I hadn't heard this artist before, so I was blown away by the vocals at the start. Cool stuff. On that wave, at one point I even wanted to slap it with a ten, but the impression weakened later. But it's definitely worth listening to this and her other tracks, if I'm not too lazy.

Judging by the scores, I am gradually becoming Dag. Dag, do you happen to attend Tvarina's tea parties on GG? Because I think participating in those musical gatherings is what influenced my "tolerance" for different music genres.

The Dø - Anita No! (Live at l’Olympia, Paris) - 10 "every day it's more joyful to live" out of 10.

hope this isn't yours, Arets

so, the song is from Arandor, who likes the lead singer of this group

For some reason it feels like Arandorchik sent this, let him be happy

Well, I've come to the point where my tracks are confused with Arandor's tracks. Somewhere deep in my soul, I always felt that this moment would come. But the lead singer is good, yes.

Actually, these guys are my main musical discovery of 2k20. They have very cool live performances, each slightly different (which is why I sent this version, which I like slightly more than the studio one). And yes, I rarely obsess over lyrics, but here is a move simple to the point of genius that I still admire: Anita = I need to, Anita no = I need to know. Now you can listen to it again x)

And they can do different styles too. If there weren't a limit, I might have sent this — the track I first got to know the group through. The studio version compared to this version is trash.
