Multitude of Casualties by The Hold Steady

Gourmet Mansion by Boolus
I have no idea what to say about this song, so I’m just going to use this space to air out my biggest nitpick about the Kirby franchise.
I just can’t get into Kirby and the Forgotten Land. You know why? Cuz Kirby: Triple Deluxe RUINED Mouthful Mode for me. Hypernova had him sucking down entire levels and fucking laser guided missles like lemon drops and now he can’t get his ravenous vaccuum of a mouth around anything bigger than him? What the hell is this downgrade? Kirby is an eldritch god, The Mouth That Devours All. The Forgotten Land devs are doing him a TERRIBLE disservice with this change to the lore. Kumazaki and Kamiyama have doomed us all. Kirby is coming for us, he is eternally hungry, and now we’ve given him a reason to be pissed at us. Angering him is a canonically bad idea that NEVER ends well.

From my experience, this languorous intro indicates a song’s gonna kick into double time sooner or later. (Ignore how from my pov I was proven right halfway through writing the previous sentence.) Nice leadup to the vocals and these screams aren’t half bad. I quite enjoy the guitars here. Maybe I’m a little spoiled in thinking a bit of audio legibility or a counterpoint bass growl would elevate an already great song.

Score: 9.3
Chest Fever by Widespread Panic
The music of… The Band? Is this a cover song? Oh, well, with how hard it just hit me, maybe I don’t care so much about that. I’m digging the lead singer’s voice and these instruments are hella tight. This is some damn sweet bluesy rock and roll. I wanna hear the rest of their discography.
The outro is For Whom The Bell Tolls by Metallica.
Totally worth the wait!
But I’m sure you don’t want to wait any longer. The winner of the Tiebreaker Walrus is…
KARMADOPE!!!!!!!
And congratulations to nutella and remember for winning 2nd and 3rd, respectively!
