Atmospherium did a great job getting in touch with his inner Trent Reznor.

I saw DDRKirby(ISQ)-senpai in the morning light. He was drinking tea beneath the maples.

Those were my three favorites. I also really liked Shifted Wayside--kinda reminded me of point and click adventures somehow. :) I thought the prompt was pretty tough this week, but everybody did a great job!

accusations by DarkShadow:
The synths begin to work together towards the end to make some really cool sounds. The synths and drums could sync up a bit more though.

The Guru told me to Forsake the World by Koekepan:
I really love the high synth combined with the deep choir and then the hihat that adds some intensity to the song in the later part.

What Have I Done by animatrix1490:
Captures the feeling of killing everything and everyone around you. Also, my ears are gone.

The Day Of Reckoning by Misael.K:
The start is really good, the bass and (what i can assume is) piano mix superwell together. It reminds me a bit of celeste but also it is its very own thing. The synths taking over the beat is really anxiety inducing. I think it perfectly gives of the feeling it is supposed to.

Psychological Protocol by Arcana:
Could have a little less high end, but it captures the quirky feeling you were going for.

The Scars of Time by DDRKirby(ISQ):
The square wave in the begining is cutting off too quickly and "clicks" which is a bit irritating. I really like how the song speeds up and slows down until the beat comes in. The pad in the background adds a bit of intensity as well as fill in the void in the background. Has some melancholy while keeping itself from becoming overwhelming.

Runaway by Atmospherium:
The bass is working really well in the bottom. It almost becomes a dronesong before the electric guitar comes in. The drums could be a bit more empathised in the parts with the guitars. Its a bit empty in the background. I really like the vocals, they add a lot to the song.

They Did Somethin by ethansight:
The piano really stabilazes the everything and keeps it together. Then everything adds ontop of it. Almost feels a bit jazzy in some places.

Shifted Wayside by Random-storykeeper:
Bar jazz. Really like how the saxophone (i think it is) is used to lead the song forward. The harmonies the all instrument creats is what really makes it good. The calmer part with the piano is really needed to calm everything down in the end so it doesnt just cutoff.

Bridge Bot by jarski:
Feels very empty. Then it goes over to something a bit more disco alike and feels a bit fuller. The acid synths are maybe a bit too harsh on the ear.

Voting...what is that

1) "Runaway" - I love the unsettling, mysterious mood. The vocals and dirty guitar cement it altogether. I also love the progression of intensity, like introducing the guitar a bit, then going suddenly back into the quiet part. It makes the final buildup all the more satisfying.

2) "Psychological Protocol" is strangely addicting and enjoyably weird. I love all the sounds and their counterpoint.

3) "The Scars of Time" - Very pretty, definitely reminiscent of Chrono Trigger. An overall well put together track.
