Due to OM's walrus closing up in 2 weeks I'll go ahead and make a walrus thread & fill it in later. Pre-ins are fine, I'll be adding cats soon.

I hereby present to you
The Walrus Up North*Terms & Conditions apply. Not liable for any designations of TrashTaste - that designation is fully responsible to those who submit Trash songs & Spiderz by default.Greetings. For most of you, Russia is unfamiliar territory. I, Agent Codename Gimmick, have been tasked with spotting the best recruit for this musical advent into the wonderland of the North.
This mission - codename W-A-L-R-U-S - is a test determined to weed out the weak & prepare the new cadets for the grueling mission ahead. Do you have what it takes to prove your worthiness in the face of adversity? Do you have what it takes to fit in with the true Russians? Do you have enough taste to not get drowned out by the harsh taste of Vodka & Selodka?
Davail, patsani, & I'll find that out!For the freshly arrived, a Walrus is a musical competition in which the host - Me - provides several categories of music & the players - You - will send a single song for every category. I will rank them on a scale of 0-10 with up to 5 points for matching the category and 5 points for how much I personally enjoy the song.The goal of this Walrus is to get me into more English music as I primarily listen to Russian and the occasional Ukranian tracks. A bit on my taste:- I came from a household in Russia & moved to the States when I was young. Due to my heritage I enjoy traditional, folk, homey music.
- That being said, my favorite genre is actually either metal or hip-hop. I am alright with pop. Weeb music doesn't fly here in the cold.
- I vastly prefer hard-hitting, fast-paced, certified bangers over low, slow, melancholy vibes - but there's a time and place for everything in this Walrus.
- Surprise me. I have listened to some select English artists over my time, but if I've heard it before, I likely will notch it down a couple points.
How to join:-Simply post 'In' or the like on this thread.How & when to submit songs:-This post was made about a week and a bit before OM's walrus is closing up. I'll be accepting submissions from then on for around a week.-Please submit over a forums PM with "Gim's Walrus" or something similar in the title. Post 'locked' in the PM whenever you feel your submissions are :chef's_kiss: & I'll begin listening to the first one.-Subs will close around a week or two after I announce they are open in this thread.Other important info:-As a mark of designation for fulfilling my needs of Good Music & Slavic Music Mastery, you will receive a Discord Role on the PS Mafia Discord to designate your achievements.-Be original & creative! This walrus is generally more open than others because I haven't really delved much into English music.-Your lowest score will be dropped before summing.-Reveals will be hosted twice weekly: Fridays at 4PM EST and Sundays at 5PM EST.-Have fun!Those to be judged:1. Gary The Savage2. Starblim3. Shadecession4. Spiderz5. skyfigueroa6. C7Keyboardmash7. Epicsnorlax8. Abdelrahman9. OM10. Chapterseven 11. Micromorphic(It's not capped btw, feel free to keep joining)
The Categories:1. First Impression - send me something hard-hitting. Something that's fast paced & impressive right out of the gate. Big Baby Tape - Surname КлоуКома - Маквин
2. Levitate - give me something uplifting. Lofty, innovative, and dreamy - but still an amazing soundtrack. ANIKV - КвитыTima Belorusskih - Взял и полетел3. Snow Warning - This submission should be chilling to the core. Crystal clear, harsh, and biting in your soul. IC3PEAK - Плак-ПлакErika Lundmoen - Кривые Зеркала4. Flatter - Pander to me. Something I like? Great. Something I love? Bueno. Something you know I'd loop until I drop? Otlichno. Sample Tracks can be found in this thread and on other walruses. 5. Twisted Spoons - Increase my IQ on this. Witty lyrics, stunning wordplay, true masterpieces of lyrical artwork. Haski - ИудаBUMBLE BEEZY - Дайджест6. Compound Eyes - This sub is all about rebellion. Send me your most cynical song that criticizes the world and system we live in. Make the FBI / KGB agent in my computer quake. Make me proverbially fall out of a window tomorrow. Literally anything and everything IC3PEAK 7. Black Glasses - Make me angry (no, not with a Trash Taste submission). Turn me into a raging, spiteful monster. Make me see red. Sagath x Elias Fogg - АНГЕЛБЕС (prod. Fatal - M)Asylllum - В книге всё было по-другому8. Slush Rush - Send me your best drinking song. Woeful tunes about loved ones or jolly Russian folk. I will personally test these. VERKA SERDUCHKA — ГОП ГОП ГОПKalinka9. Inner Focus - This category should be soothing. Give me a nice, repetitive beat that is as charming as it is addictive. Axel Thesleff - Bad KarmaAIGEL - Tatarin10. Doom Desire - Make me cry. Send me your most emotional song about love that never was to be. Max Korzh - MaloletkaLesha Svik - Луна11. Final Gambit - This is a bit of a unique submission. Now that you've gotten to know my tastes a bit better, I will only ask you to submit this after the other categories have been completed. A redux of send me a song you know I'll like. A bonus point or two if it's in Russian. See #4.

13th - Ayia
7.5/10 - Nowhere near my taste nor the cat fit, but it's a pretty nice song. All I have to say about it.

12 - Abdel
7.8/10 - This is actually my first time listening to the full song & memes conditioned me to assume this song would be Trash. I was wrong, and it is actually pretty decent. The lyrics are quite suiting for the category & the message is there. We respect poptimists.

10 - Shade
7.9/10 - Peppy & upbeat, and quite an interesting song. A decent category fit for a genre I am not the biggest fan of. Would listen to again.

Also 10 - Micro
7.9/10 - This is a pretty good and catchy song, but - it would've done better in Slush Rush for the sheer virtue of being an amazing drinking song while hammering down Fireball. Doesn't mean it's bad.

9 - Derz!
8/10 - Nice song with a good beat. Nice submit, derz. If anyone calls me out for putting this shit high I'll whip out my pavlovian defense of not knowing the history of rap in its entirety - it's still a catchy rap song.

8 - Easyonthehills!
8/10 - A very good metal song, and quite a good category fit. I could absolutely see myself at one of these concerts headbanging away. Someone recognizes I'm a metalhead.

7 - Schia
8.1/10 - This is good and all, but didn't have enough umph for the cat fit I wanted. If it was vodka, would've been a full point higher.
