I had a feeling I went too mainstream with this

Noir Desir - Viva La Fete
Wow. I would say this one operates to the reverse of 2nd place, because it starts in a really beautiful place and then descends into chaos and discomfort. I really enjoy everything about this. The beat, the vocals, the electronic twinkles weaving through the sound. As the track goes on it adds in changes of pace and becomes increasing frantic. The music fades out to a heartbeat, then comes back in and ascends around an increasingly dominant scream, finally closing out in a raw and devastating way, marking the end of the descent. This had me captivated from start to finish. Congratulations on the win, and thanks for the epic submission.

This might’ve been my choice if I knew you weren’t already familiar with it. Most of my other stuff was too pop. After I asked you about that Finch track a while back I think I was able to pin your tastes a little better.

Yeah I’ve listened to heeeaps of AFI so it probably wouldn’t have improved your standing, but would have done well.

I’m glad you liked it. It’s kind of like a descent into madness. The lyrics are actually pretty dark.

Most of these are really not for me, but I did like the winner.
Thanks for a quality reveal

Yeah it was only after the rankings that I took a look at the lyrics. “It’s mania”. I knew it wasn’t a happy song by any stretch, but it is dark for sure. I’m curious to see what @pyatnitski thinks of it, as it is another one that I thought might have been his.
At The Drive In are very hit and miss for me. This song, Goliath (by Mars Volta) and a few others I love. A lot of the rest I find really difficult.

i’m probably somewhat wrong about your music preferences. I also need to fight the urge to post songs i didn’t send cause there are hopefully future Walruses ahead of us.

Thanks for indulging my reveal everyone. Despite knowing not to take it too seriously I still don’t find them easy, but I sure do love this game and playing it with you all.
I’ll definitely shoot for a category that is a bit less challenging next time.

not sure if you’re fishing for compliments on this, but the category was great and the entries were diverse even though it’s easy to get sucked into a small area of genres.

I wasn’t too attached to my submission for this one, so I’m not surprised I made the nodium. Good reveal, though, and I like the winner a lot. and The Specials, of course.
