Really enjoyed DDRKirby's attention to detail here, with nice countermelodies, glitch drum fills, and all kinds of other goodness.
TVG gains it for that really strange and funny chord progression that's weird but also addictive
I liked bjkmenu's guitar noodling this time. the loft part in the middle was strangely compelling.

TheVideoGamer - This track is basically a house and garage combo. I say this as the beat is 4 on the floor, but the rhythms in the rest are super swung and syncopated, leading to more of a garage style. The chord progression is very loop based, but it's super syncopated and the choices of chords really matter for this track, as it's all about the groove. It's also very repetitive, largely due to time, as i'd spent a lot of time on the drums, but also because i really wanted to make sure the chords were emphasised as they make the piece what it is. I also automated another bass on top of my bass, so i would add some extra funkiness. All in all it's super repetitive, but it has it's charm. Oh well, glad you liked it anyways!
Wassup Thunder - I love this dark vibe you have here, the drums are tight as you always do it, and the growls are dirty. It feels kind of like Doom meets command and conquer, it's a fire dark beat. The melodies are very strong here, and the mix is really great. There's not much i could find here to work on, it's really fire. Tiny bit bass heavy if i were to nitpitck, but the track is quality. Lovely stuff, so good i placed it third, amazing work!
DarkShadow - So much bass it's a bass overload lol. The chiptune is strong here, it's practically like a NES boss battle. The bass was a bit much for me, i would have toned it down a tad, however it's a reallly great rhythm we have going on here, in fact i feel like i should give it to you because i'm nice, and it was really cool, well done!
DDRKirby(ISQ) - Really liking the arrangement here, as the intro is very East Asian inspired, but you then switch it up into straight DnB, and it's fire. The melody work is extremely strong as is the drums, and the fact you suprise me by going for a unusual genre choice with all of these sounds makes it different but still catchy. The breaks in this are just awesome, i absolutely love it. So good i placed it 2nd, incredible work!
Arcana - That arp really gives me Kraftwerk vibes for some reason. The vocals are really strong here, i also love the reverb usage here. The mix is also really great, with some nice melody ideas, and tight beat. The only minor critiques i have, is the vocal is a tiny bit louder than the beat, and there is a tiny bit of spidce in the vocals at the end, likely from the harmonisation effect going on. Still though i think it was good enough to give you it, well done!
BJKMenu - Sick intro, this is some quality rock n roll. It's not bluesy, yet it feels like we belong to that genre it's great. I really love the syncopation and the tone is super high quality. Lots of great sections in this one. The guitar does overpower the drums a little, but it's not bothersome. I lol'd at the Jingle Bells inclusion. Either way, it's a fire piece, well done!
Coloradoweeks - Now that is one beautiful chord progression, i don't know if it's the synth that makes it sound good, or if it's the progression itself, but it's super relaxing. The drum and bass work is smoooooth. The singing is exceptional too, although it's a tiny bit quiet with the beat, but it doesn't ruin the track or anything. It's still an exceptional piece, i absolutely love it. It was so good i placed it first, incredible work!
Top 3 - Coloradoweeks, DDRKirby(ISQ), Wassup Thunder.

Needs Work - Nobody, everyone was great!
