umineko chiro in Russian - I like the original version more, but the full version is 4 seconds longer than the limit, and I decided that a Russian version would be more interesting for the contest. todd howard - 6 - The only time I wanted to buy Skyrim on Steam was when they removed the original version and left only the Special Edition, which half of the mods don't work on, so unlucky. lana del ray: nebos - 3 - Everyone goes crazy in their own way... well, basically - 1 - Doesn't fit, doesn't rhyme, kiss the expedition queen's behind. little dark age - 6 - You can put it on in the background and listen to it for a long time. farewell, Gulnazy! - 5 - It's okay. orville peck - 5 - It's okay. accept breaker - 6 - I liked the music more than the vocals. 100 gecs - 4 - It was okay at first, but then it wasn't very good. おちんちん - 10 - Stands out positively against the others. roma - 6 - Feels the same as number five. the cog is dead - 5 - It's okay. goodnight texas - 10 - Stands out positively against the others. slim dusty - 8 the white buffalo - 5 - The vocals are good, but the strumming on the guitar is annoying.

[Umineko Chiru in Russian] Remembering the Past [Onsa Media] — 5 - the text blew my mind
Todd Howard Song — It Just Works (BETHESDA the Musical) ■ ft. Kyle Wright — 7 - the humor wasn't very good, but okay
Lana Del Rey - Freak — 5 - just a song, didn't really grab me
"Well, basically..." Performed by: Victoria the Magnificent! — 2 - some kind of nonsense
Little Dark Age — 9 - it matched my mood
Goodbye, Gul'sary! — 7 - normal, it's okay
Orville Peck - Dead of Night [OFFICIAL VIDEO] — 7
ACCEPT - Breaker (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO) — 6 - didn't match my mood
100 gecs - hand crushed by a mallet (Remix) [feat. Fall Out Boy, Craig Owens, Nicole Dollanganger] — 4 - it would have been worse without the video, although it's not very interesting either, but it served as a distraction from the mediocre song
クリスタルKITSUNE - Don't Forget Me — 6 - not quite my thing, but it didn't annoy me and I didn't get bored
Rome - One Fire — 5 - I don't really like this monotony
The Cog is Dead - BURN IT DOWN — 8 - a little more interesting than the others
Goodnight, Texas - Moonshiners — 7
The White Buffalo At: Guitar Center "The Whistler" — 5 - started well, then something went wrong

the cog is dead - 4 - it's like a song by some American cartoon gangsters, which I never liked (the songs of gangsters, not the cartoons themselves, haha). "Theatrical" performances generally don't appeal to me very often, plus the processing in the chorus is kind of strange, as if muted or I don't know, but it sounds unpleasant (maybe the quality isn't very good).

As for "theatrical" with a "+", I immediately remembered this song because I was thinking of sending it to those guys (maybe next time). I also remembered the early albums of patd and someone else (even musicals).
I like them in every way, and most importantly, they don't remind me of gangster songs from cartoons, haha, although it could quite possibly sound good somewhere... maybe it would be better than my current choice. How many points would you give it?!

Revan, sun, please extend the voting period until the evening. Tomorrow should be a relatively relaxed day at work, and I will vote during my workday.

[Umineko Chiru in Russian] Remembering the Past [Onsa Media] — 5. There are some cool moments, but overall it sounds quite strange and a bit tiresome, like other similar translations I've heard.
Todd Howard Song — It Just Works (BETHESDA the Musical) ■ ft. Kyle Wright — 8. I don't really know much about Bethesda, but the humor is good, and the music is quite decent.
Lana Del Rey - Freak — 9. This one really hit the spot. I'm not a big fan of Lana, but it really resonated with me, and I even came back to it after listening to other songs and gave it a higher rating. The music video is also beautiful.
"Well, basically..." Performed by: Victoria Magnificent! — 5. I wanted to give it a higher rating for Pushnoy and for the fact that the musicians are really going all out, but even the music got a bit boring towards the end. In fact, I would have given most of Pushnoy's songs and covers a higher rating, even a simple "Smile and Wave" or something. But even good comedians (yes, it's a reference, for those who get it) sometimes have bad jokes.
Little Dark Age — 7. Not bad, I generally like this kind of music, but maybe it just wasn't the right mood at the moment.
Goodbye, Gul'sary! — 6. I'm not a big fan of this kind of music, but it's okay, maybe I would have given it a higher rating if it was the right mood.
Orville Peck - Dead of Night [OFFICIAL VIDEO] — 7. It's good, it's high quality, and the beginning is promising, but something is missing. Maybe the vocals weren't to my taste.
ACCEPT - Breaker (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO) — 7. The music is predictably energetic and stylish, but the vocals are a bit lacking, and it gets a little tiresome towards the end.
100 gecs - hand crushed by a mallet (Remix) [feat. Fall Out Boy, Craig Owens, Nicole Dollanganger] — 6. It's very good in places, but they overdid it with the experimentalism (although that's the idea here). A few years ago, I probably would have given it a higher rating.
クリスタルKITSUNE - Don't Forget Me — 6. If it were translated into Russian, it would probably sound like the first one, but it's a little better, and the solo is cool.
Rome - One Fire — 7. Not bad, it's a bit Tom Waits-esque and Leonard Cohen-esque. I recently discovered this band, and I was wondering where I had seen the name before, and then I remembered "What are you listening to right now?". I would probably give this song a higher rating:



The Cog is Dead - BURN IT DOWN — 9. Wow, this is really good. I've never been particularly into steampunk music, but it even made me want to listen to more. For complete happiness, maybe it's missing a bass guitar (that's just me) and a slightly more expressive vocal.
Goodnight, Texas - Moonshiners — this is a solid 10 and my endless soundtrack of the past autumn. There was also the option to send this - my endless soundtrack of the entire year, but I would probably give it a lot of 2s, 3s, and 4s:



^ By the way, the bassline is very similar to Cog is Dead, which shows my love for this kind of thing.

Slim Dusty - Pub With No Beer (1957) — 8. Good old-fashioned country, maybe a bit boring in places, but I can't bring myself to give it a lower rating.
The White Buffalo At: Guitar Center "The Whistler" — 10. Okay, let it be, even though it's probably not a masterpiece, it's still absolutely "my" kind of music and the best track here. I know this artist, but I just haven't gotten around to listening to more. Excellent ending.

In short, either those "tea parties" and age are still influencing me, or the H.V. guys are really sending good stuff. Most likely, it's both.

1. [Umineko Chiru in Russian] Ricordando il passato [Onsa Media] -- 9
Interesting melody, and the translation is surprisingly harmonious and pleasant, thank you.

2. Todd Howard Song — It Just Works (BETHESDA the Musical) ■ ft. Kyle Wright -- 8
I've heard this meme; it's surprisingly musically well-made, so it can be positively appreciated. Although, it's probably because it's a remix of something well-known, but I'm not sure.

3. Lana Del Rey - Freak -- 3
I don't like Lana, but this time... This time, it's probably even worse than usual, sorry. Although it's diverse, individual parts of the song don't hurt the ears, but they don't bring pleasure either.

4. "Well, basically..." Performed by: Victoria Magnificent! -- 4
I haven't heard the meme; from a musical point of view, it's somewhat specific, I would say...
P.S. Is this a hint about my recent posts in MyDepressionList? )

5. Little Dark Age -- 5
Electronic music, as electronic music. The downside is that it's a bit drawn out, though.

6. Goodbye, Gul'sary! -- 10
My ears rested on this, thank you to the person who sent it. With renewed strength, I'm ready to listen further.
After listening to everything to the end and playing it a second time, I realized that this melody (in my opinion) is the best, so it deserves the highest rating.

7. Orville Peck - Dead of Night [OFFICIAL VIDEO] -- 6
Okay.

8. ACCEPT - Breaker (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO) -- 6
Okay.

9. 100 gecs - hand crushed by a mallet (Remix) [feat. Fall Out Boy, Craig Owens, Nicole Dollanganger] -- 3
I wanted to give it a 4 or 5, but after listening to the end, I changed my mind.

10. クリスタルKITSUNE - Don't Forget Me -- 8
What an unexpected old-school vibe. Objectively, it's not the best melody in the competition; its quality still corresponds to its time, but I can't help but praise the fact that I discovered something good and old that I hadn't heard before, thanks to the person who sent it.

11. Rome - One Fire -- 7
For some reason, it reminded me of "You're in the army now." Musically, they're not very similar, but in terms of atmosphere, they are.

12. -
Well, this is mine. I listened to Arts' advice and sent the most unconventional track from the repertoire of this group, which I generally consider quite cool (in the end, Arts himself didn't really appreciate it, haha).
From the more standard tracks, I would probably send this one; it's a beautiful song, and the lyrics are pleasant:



13. Goodnight, Texas - Moonshiners -- 7
Okay+.

14. Slim Dusty - Pub With No Beer (1957) -- 6
Okay.

15. The White Buffalo At: Guitar Center "The Whistler" -- 7
Someone sends a guitar every year, and then Arts tells me in the chat, "Don't send any more guitars, Ment." I don't know why. But in general, it's okay with a plus... The sometimes aggressive charisma is what gives it the plus.

In general, I would like to note that everything looks quite subjective, and many of the ratings here are in the spirit of "I don't know why, but it really resonated with me." This especially applies to ratings of eight and above (phew, hello, Todd Howard).
Thank you to Revan and the contestants for waiting.

Heeded Arza's advice and chose a rather unconventional track from this group's repertoire (which, in my opinion, is quite good overall; Arza himself didn't appreciate it much, though, haha).

Well... you tried ☺️

So, how are the guessing games going?

AUG is a type of automatic weapon.

Revanche, don't worry, I'm here.

Now let's guess and evaluate.

Well, that’s it, now Siv definitely won’t win 😢

AUG

Actually, she is just a geneticist.

Masquerade sent a private message.

It was difficult because there's a feeling that many people got tired and started imitating other participants. There are a lot of Nebk clones.

In reality, there are many clones of Arcomage.

Music

Oh, it's hard to agree with you all here. Somehow, my tastes rarely align with others, but whatever, no offense intended.

1. 1
After everything that happened in my life related to RFD, I fundamentally hate everyone equally, almost like I hate Russians. Sorry.

2. 2
The era of parody songs seems to have ended in 2010.

3. 8
I couldn't be bothered to watch the whole video, thankfully, I have it in my library. I don't really understand the choice of this song, but Lana is Lana, I can't rate it lower than 8.

4. 1
Something in Russian, aimed at the Comedy Club audience. Makes sense.

5. 6
Sorry, but for me, MGMT is a one-hit wonder. Otherwise, it's okay.

6. 4
Something in Russian, aimed at... well, you know. Tolerable.

7. 7
Not bad. Not exactly my genre, but it's beautiful.

8. 8
Metal is metal. I respect it, but I don't particularly love it. I sincerely hope I'm giving this 8 to Wish.

9. ---
I'm not even offended by you, because I think many of you just don't really like acid electronic music. I understand, I've forgiven you all a long time ago. But if someone happens to be into the genre but just didn't like this song, I'd be happy to receive recommendations in PM or even right here. Because for me, this was amazing, I haven't listened to anything this mind-blowing and cool in a long time.

10. 9
Okay, Revan, take your 9, but you can do better. It didn't quite click, sorry. I'd rather you had sent me some classic city-pop from that era.

11. 7
Same impressions as with number 7.

12. 10
So far, the best. I genuinely liked it, cool guys.

13. 8
Slightly better than 7 and 11.

14. 9
Just for the classic.

15. 7
In the same category.

Again, this year I don't really like the contest. But once, either in 2013 or 2014, there was such an amazing selection that I still listen to it sometimes... Sigh.
