and that very old Mill, lyrical-fairy tale, folklore, timelessly ancient

When I was writing a review for it, I actually wanted to clarify that it would be better to listen to this particular version....

It’s hard for me to say which album by Melnica I like more. I enjoy both their classic folk songs and their modern surreal compositions. I can’t recall any of their albums being truly awful.

06 - Forever Is A Charm — 3, a good song to listen to while cleaning your apartment. 13. 願いの灯 (10th Anniversary Re-Arrange) — 6, a good song to listen to while saying goodbye forever to your family's rural store after your grandfather's death. Nightmare Air - Way We Fall — 7, a good song to listen to while proposing to your niche. Мельница - Кащей — 3, a good song to listen to while unpacking groceries. ずっと真夜中でいいのに。『TAIDADA』MV (ZUTOMAYO - TAIDADA)【ダンダダン MAD】 — if I hadn't managed to download the codec for my Windows Media Player, I would have given it a 1, but as it is, 7, just because I watched a couple of episodes. Shocking Blue - Long And Lonesome Road — 2, not interesting. Standing by the ocean - Yona — died and couldn't finish listening, 3. Cyberpunk - I Really Want To Stay At Your House — 4. It sounds electronic, but it also has a garage-like, Coca-Cola-flavored vibe from the nineties. Irene Cara - Fame — when I was in school, I used to set the radio on my audio system as an alarm clock, and one morning I had a terrible nightmare about conveyor belts covered in human skin and flesh, inspired by the song "Its Raining Men." It sounds very similar, so 2. Mazzy Star - Fade Into You — 4, died-2.

06 - Forever Is A Charm — 5 I like roughly half of this song, and mostly the singer's voice and intonations — the more rhythmic half, that is. The other half, on the contrary, is all uuuuuuuuuu.
13. 願いの灯 (10th Anniversary Re-Arrange) — 9 Something between Disney classic and Ghibli classic, quite pleasant. Why a 9 for "quite pleasant"? Well, that's just how I ended up stretching the scale.
Aigel - Tatarin — 3 I.... Am quite glad that someone is still experimenting with persimmons, so to speak. Even if this one didn't land for me, having such things is better than us completely sliding into soulless generic fare.
Nightmare Air - Way We Fall — 6 On the second listen, there's something to be found in it, a certain unusual futuristic quality. Still, between the voice and the instruments, I feel there's a lack of balance — they get in each other's way.
Мельница - Кащей — 8 Seems like your usual Melnitsa.

I almost died, but then I didn't

Auf

ずっと真夜中でいいのに。『TAIDADA』MV (ZUTOMAYO - TAIDADA)【ダンダダン MAD】 — It's a bit strange how Google plays the video, without sound for some reason. Even though there was no need, I listened to it again.
Shocking Blue - Long And Lonesome Road — 6 Quite aggressive, nothing special.
Standing by the ocean - Yona — 5 Given the sluggishness, it's average.
Cyberpunk - I Really Want To Stay At Your House — 5 I have a feeling that many songs I can't properly enjoy because of terrible instruments — this one too, the singing is fine, but the white noise in the background is just brutal.
Irene Cara - Fame — 7 Familiar and nostalgic.
Mazzy Star - Fade Into You — 4 A bit dreary.

Hmm, the "died-didn't die" joke's already been made, but oh well, eh. I should've guessed I wasn't the only attentive one.

p.s. Noticed that Google's equalizer is somehow different, and that boom-boom in the arrangement is really noticeable.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.

06 - Forever Is A Charm — it starts like a slowed-down melody from a California tribute, and then it becomes something else. Overall, it's quite simple, without any particular emotion, but it's not irritating either. 6
13. 願いの灯 (10th Anniversary Re-Arrange) — when you listen to it after watching the video, it might be okay, but when you just listen to it, it's quite boring. + for this kind of music, a stronger and clearer voice is needed, and with this voice, it's better to sing in some kind of band where you can hide the flaws. 3
Aigel - Tatarin — well, what can I say? I remember that a few years ago (maybe around the time it was released), this song started to gain popularity. Some people really liked it, while others hated it. I'm in the second group because I don't like this kind of song (and it doesn't matter under what circumstances the song was written or what it's about, even if it was something like "I wrote it, and they criticized me." This applies to all songs, by the way). But now I realized that it's probably the same performer who sings the song Pyiala, and that's a bit surprising, at least for me, considering the differences. Pyiala would get a 7-8 from me (last year I thought about sending it just for fun), but I'm giving this one a 1. And if you want a song about a Tatar, you can listen to Rinat Safin 😁
Nightmare Air - Way We Fall — next time, I'll send something simpler in terms of music, although some people liked it. Maybe better headphones are needed, considering the density of the sound. But yes, the foundation is in the chorus with these "I, I, I," especially in the last one, when the guitar beautifully emphasizes the voice.
Melnica - Kashchey — well, yes, this song is like the kind of track that's added to an album just to fill it out. I've heard similar songs from other bands, both the verses and the choruses. I don't really like the verses, but the choruses can be quite good, although sometimes they write verses in this style too, but then the choruses can be even better. So, for the chorus's motif, I'll give it a 4 (it's funny about death, yes). If Lizard participated, he would have sent Lyriel a long time ago and won.
ずっと真夜中でいいのに。『TAIDADA』MV (ZUTOMAYO - TAIDADA)【ダンダダン MAD】 — okay 5
Shocking Blue - Long And Lonesome Road — I understand, but I'm too old for this kind of sound (maybe there are softer versions), and I also prefer a different kind of vocals. Although I have aunts with rough voices. From punk to electronic music +- 3
Standing by the ocean - Yona — it sounds pleasant, yes 6
Cyberpunk - I Really Want To Stay At Your House — it reminds me of Chvrches, which I sent a while ago. 5
Irene Cara - Fame — I think this song should sound different, or is it a different song? You recognize part of the chorus, right? 4
Mazzy Star - Fade Into You — did you see it on YouTube and decide to send it? I would have given it a point more if it was a concert video from '94 😏 And I know the song, maybe I heard it around 2018. 6

if YouTube worked, maybe I would have sent a different song, but without the video, I don't want to

Aigel - Tatarin — well, what can I say? I remembered that a few years ago (maybe around the time it was released), the song started gaining popularity. Some people really liked it, while others hated it. I'm in the latter group because I don't like this kind of music (and it doesn't matter under what circumstances the song was written or what it's about, even if it was something like "I wrote it, and they criticized me." This applies to all songs, by the way). But now I realized that it's the same performer who sings the song "Pyiala," and that's a bit surprising, at least for me, considering the differences. "Pyiala" would have gotten a 7-8 from me (last year, I thought about sending it in just for fun), but I'm giving this one a 1. And if you want to hear a song about a Tatar, you can listen to Rinat Safin 😁

An authoritarian Tatar doesn't like it when a woman sings and does all that stuff.

Mankurt.

I like it when he sings another one of his songs.

What can you do? Creative women just can’t seem to avoid trouble, and this guy has already been in prison for 6 years.

So, I'm not creative after all...

That's how it works.

I would call bohemia anti-creativity; there's only a pretense of creativity there. If Nebok is talking about this case, as I suspect.

So, it turned out differently, which means it might (maybe the circumstances changed again, but whatever). But never mind, Lock will send it next year, and I'll give it a good rating 😎
and in general, I hope there will be a female character every year. It's definitely better than just instrumental music.

Next year, you’ll be complaining that you already sent this performer.

Or maybe I’ll forget, just like I forgot about the mill this year? Even in that case, it will still be more than usual, haha.
