== ROUND 9 - RESULTS ==Welcome to the ninth elimination ceremony. Only 5 of you will still remain in the competition by the end of the day.
Without further ado, the FCO for this round is…
MOD!Madvillain - "Raid"
You are finally back on top. Congratulations for your second FCO! Very well deserved.
Gates: (10) APM: (9.1) Wrip: "There’s something about Madvillain/MF DOOM/etc songs that just work so well. It’s hard to explain why I enjoy their music so much - it just clicks." (9.3) Samo: "That…is an annoying chorus, but the rest of the production is great, and the verses are as good as you’d expect." (7.4) Will: "Madlib with one of the most captivating beats in all of hip-hop, allowing both DOOM and MED to shine. The intro to DOOM’s verse here is too iconic, love it. Honestly surprised I never used this in a game before but I’m happy to judge it here." (9.6) Hamed: "Another artist I need to deep dive one day, this was an awesome discovery." (8.5) Decadevia: (8.0) GP: "One of my absolute favourites from the Madvillainy album. What a choice for this round, I dig this song so much, it’s so reminiscent for me and so present at the same time. It really doesn’t need to build up anything throughout its 2.30 minutes (which I wish were double), it already starts the song completely there at the spot it should be, among record kings." (9.6) JUDGES: 71.5 | ROLEPLAY: 2.0
WEEKLY SCORE: 73.5
The second best is…
WALT!Phoebe Bridgers - "Scott Street"
After so many times being just safe, finally you have another standout moment. Welcome to top 5!
Gates: (7.3) APM: (9.6) Wrip: "This song has been hitting hard the past few months I can’t lie. The last section of this song always makes me feel so emotional. I’m truly shocked this hasn’t been in a game before haha." (9.7) Samo: "Gorgeous song, and a genius pick for this round; I can’t believe it’s never been used in a Pulse game. The second half of this song is maybe my favourite thing Phoebe’s ever done, only rivalled by “I Know The End”’s second half." (9.3) Will: "Love the lyrics, vocals, instrumental, themes, etc. Also: Ooooh ooooh." (9.6) Hamed: "This grows on me with every listen, just a hauntingly beautiful song from an artist who excels at a sound many others often try but don't stick the landing as well." (9.0) Decadevia: (7.5) GP: "Oh Phoebe. She is very much hit or miss for me. I recognize the quality in so much of her work, but most of her songs definitely feel too done for me, like there is no room for me, it’s just a song I hear, and I feel like they are sometimes too definite and closed. Some exceptions I feel like are some of biggest songs, like Motion Sickness. Scott Street for me is 50/50. I think it’s a great body of work, beautifully well written. But I find no space for me to settle and consume and make use of this song in my own personal listening experience. Idk I sound kinda ridiculous but this is what I feel." (8.0) JUDGES: 70.0 | ROLEPLAY: 2.0
WEEKLY SCORE: 72.0
Next…
LEOMid-Air Thief - "These Chains"
Gates: (9.2) APM: (8.5) Wrip: "Never heard this before but it’s really cool! Loving the instrumental, it’s so enchanting." (8.9) Samo: "It’s a shame this one’s getting points deducted, because it’s one of the stronger songs here imo. The instrumental is beautiful but still incredibly varied; it doesn’t feel like this is 5 minutes long at all." (8.0) Will: "Such a shame this one doesn’t fit the theme, it’s a great song. Love the way the production evolves throughout." (9.0) Hamed: "Another nice discovery, I really like the vibe of this." (8.5) Decadevia: "Quick comment, but i liked seeing mid-air thief here. heavily considered sending a song of theirs for a previous round." (8.9) GP: "Definitely one of the most interesting songs to come out in the last 5 years, it shifts completely in focus and theme without sounding a mess? So many songs like this that sound like horrible mashups and don’t sound cohesive at all, but Mid Air Thief managed to produce a great tight project on this song." (8.1) JUDGES: 69.1 | ROLEPLAY: 2.0 PENALTY: -2.0
WEEKLY SCORE: 69.1
The last name to escape the bottom two is…
FILTHYSidney Gish - "Impostor Syndrome"
Gates: (8.1) APM: (7.1) Wrip: "I feel like Sidney should be right up my alley but for some reason I haven’t entirely clicked with the songs I’ve heard from her. I will say this is probably the most I’ve enjoyed a song I’ve heard from her, it’s just really happy and pleasant music." (7.9) Samo: "I wonder whether this would’ve been sent without decadevia as a judge 👀 this is a jam though!" (8.6) Will: "Gish has this knack for creating interesting songs lyrically that are also endearing and melodic, and I feel like this is one of the better examples of that. This one is unfortunately quite relatable but I guess that does make me appreciate the song more." (9.1) Hamed: "This has grown on me greatly since I first heard it and I can't explain why, it just hit on my listen today and even on my second listening to all of the songs." (8.5) Decadevia: (10) GP: "This was a good pleasant song to listen to. I kinda don’t have that much to say about this, it was also just kind of there, it didn’t add up to much, and I will not be repeating it, but it feels really well done and in its genre, probably one of the better well done songs as well." (7.4) JUDGES: 66.7 | ROLEPLAY: 2.0
WEEKLY SCORE: 68.7
A pretty safe choice for top 6 but it's not cutting it. Be careful, you're not little mister perfect anymore.
Which means the bottom two is…
ADRIAN & REPUTAINBOW

Last person to advance to the next round is... REPUTAINBOW!Kilo Kish - "NO APOLOGY!"
Gates: (7.0) APM: (8.7) Wrip: "Shoutout to whoever sent this! Kilo Kish is such an underappreciated artist." (8.5) Samo: "This feels a tad underwhelming compared to the other songs I’ve heard from this album, but it’s still a bop." (7.6) Will: "Super catchy song with nice vocals and some great production. A banger." (8.4) Hamed: "From one of my favorite albums of last year, she ATE here." (8.7) Decadevia: (6.4) GP: "I like everything I hear of Kilo Kish, and this is no exception. This is vibrant, grows on you throughout the song, and it’s very pleasant. It’s not a surefire banger tho, I see myself getting quick of this quite fast. And doesn’t quite have that unique element that makes someone come back." (7.5) JUDGES: 62.8 | ROLEPLAY: 2.0
WEEKLY SCORE: 64.8 OVERALL SCORE: 614.6
This was SO CLOSE. You can see that the overall scores were literally just separated by a couple points and you just barely survive. You've been extremely consistent, and never placed on the bottom half of the call-out order, but this is a slip down and it's worrying to have this happen this *close* to the end. Still, you better use this chance wisely. You may not have had a FCO yet but you just beat someone who had just got two in a row, so that's saying a lot about how consistent you are.
Which means...
ADRIAN, I'm sorry but you've been eliminated.
Depeche Mode - "Nothing"
Gates: (7.2) APM: (8.4) Wrip: "Out of the songs I know from them, this feels more “there”. Just standard 80s music, which isn’t a bad thing at all!" (7.8) Samo: "This feels less interesting than their “best” work, but considering I normally find them overrated this was a pleasant surprise! It’s nothing amazing but I like it more than most of their more well-known songs." (7.7) Will: "Not a huge standout from what I’ve heard from Depeche Mode but it has a fun instrumental and strong vocals, really solid song overall." (8.3) Hamed: "Another song that reminds me I need to a deep dive for em soon, very cool fun discovery." (8.6) Decadevia: (7.4) GP: "What a slick Depeche Mode record. I adore them and they are quickly the key to my heart in any rankdown/ranking/rating sort of thing. “Nothing” is no exception, it’s a pristine record that encapsules what makes Depeche be Mode and what makes me love them so much." (9.1) JUDGES: 64.5 | ROLEPLAY: 2.0
WEEKLY SCORE: 66.5 OVERALL SCORE: 611.9
Just right when you start dominating... This seems to be a funny curse as this is a second time in a row someone's eliminated after two consecutive FCOs. Your overall scores are so close to Rep's but I'm sad to tell you he just barely beat you there. There were the first couple rounds where you didn't maximize your RP bonus, sad to see they would've saved you here. You come here after two seasons break, wanting to prove and outdo yourself. You absolutely did it. Whereas in your first season you struggle to get out of the bottom half, you did a fantastic job this time around, even bagging two FCO wins. But it's an unfortunate situation that we have to say goodbye before top 5 as I think you really deserve it. Thank you for participating!
