Best: Well.. that's already very predictable XD Worst: Purpose, just not my taste at all. Tops of the month: 1). Like seeing Garage being a little more interesting. 2). "Will You Come", "Soundclash" & "Comet" 3). Nice seeing Mint for once 4). Awesome Red came back!
Yes, NCS indeed did stop using AI thumbnails, but they still use AI backgrounds. W/L? 14. Purpose (0/100) I thought I'dd finally hear a good song from Sketchez, but no. What is this? It felt like I was floating midair in outer space due to the boringness. Genre: Chillout 13. Pushing On (0/100) Rest in peace, ears. As usual, this feels earrape. NCS is starting to have less variety, and now it feels just like Minstercat which already has no variety. Genre: Riddim 12. Donna (1/100) "Donut!" Indeed, I love donuts but this song is just a nah. Nothing interesting, and the vocals were inaudible. I couldn't understand what it was about and the garage only pulled it down. Genre: Garage 11. Red Lights (8/100) Would you imagine, another boring ahh garage track. The vocals feel as if they were cracked and the small bass in there... Sucked. Genre: Garage 10. Fade (34/100) I'm not a fan of Krushfunk, and I will never be. Besides ruining the Mint circle TWICE ALREADY, the song itself was just as if you just started using a launchpad. Genre: Krushfunk, Chiptune 9. Back & Forth (39/100) ???????????? MANSHIN's songs are getting worse and worse as the time goes. It's just odd how its so choppy, feels like a Trap or something, but at the same time Brostep. Genre: Color Bass 8. BANE (40/100) I like the melody, but I didn't know what was trying to be achieved here. The chicken like vocals were just awkward before the actual drop. The kicks were just awful. Genre: Brazillian Phonk 7. Will You Come (41/100) Not to be dirty minded or anything, but the vocals spoke it so that it sounded like "WILL YOU CUHHHUM". The song itself was mid. Expected something good like Stars In The Sky. Genre: Pop 6. Want It All (43/100) Greedy ahh fellow. This sort of Hardstyle now just pisses off me becauss it feels like its too loud and theres nothing enjoyable to listen to. Genre: Euphoric Hardstyle 5. Feel Like (51/100) At least theres a melody rather than just JOXION. The vocals repeated were annoying ahh, but at least hey, on the bright side its average! Feels something yanvince would do (on his iFeature alias). Genre: Deep House 4. Never Knew Me (59/100) I never fancied Rameses B's phonk, but Veela is back I guess after 11 years. The vocals were mid but jt was repeated during the drop which made it a little catchy. The phonk was not bad, but not too good. Genre: Chill Phonk 3. Soundclash (85/100) Wow, Jonth really is doing a third one. Well it's cool I guess, nothing wrong just feels off-key. I love the clashing sounds, they make actual Heavy DnB. I just feel like its satisfying, I don't know why! Genre: Heavy DnB (not jump up) 2. Stuck (89/100) Feels like if a Washing Machine was broken and needed repair, and accidentally made this satisfying ahh sound. Idk why! Ripple's releases on NCS have bsocme better and better! The opposite of MANSHIN. Genre: Neurofunk 1. Comet (100/100) I think we all know this would be the best of this month guaranteed. Skybreak finally comes to NCS, and Keepsake/Richard returns! The vocals were phenomenal and the ending was just... 🥲 Genre: Melodic Drumstep Damn this month sucks.
In the bio I feel just bad for your opinion 14. Want It All - 31/100 13. Soundclash - 47/100 12. BANE - 50/100 11. Donna - 61/100 10. Red Lights - 65/100 9. Stuck - 69/100 8. Purpose - 72/100 7.

Comet is easily a BO2024 for me probably, I'm glad NCS has starting to improve alot in this month because other months were really not for me, I did really enjoy this month overall
good month Best: Comet & Stuck (both 100/100, Ripple is my favourite artist of the year so far, all songs are 100/100) Worst: Purpose (24/100 such a snoozefest)
this month was full of firsts: the first true drumstep song in a long time, the first aeden and sketchez song that i didn't like, the first month without the AI character thumbnails (thank god!), the first phonk song i truly loved (thanks, rameses b and veela), and the first month for NCS this year that was overall pretty meh
May 2024 and May 2022 for me has similarities: May 2024 dominated by Comet And May 2022 dominated By If I disappear & Never Knew is just like 2024 version of When I'm Gone in 2022 So in math next few months especially August will be interesting
14. 20/100 😰 13. 51/100 meh 12. 52/100 more meh 11. 70/100 I like this 10. 60/100 damn chill 9. 55/100 Average 8. 70/100 i also like this 7. 73/100 wild 6. 69/100 Best from Ripple ig 5. 63/100 groovy 4. 30/100 bruh 3. 68/100 Nice 2. 67/100 idk 1. 79/100 old drumstep coming back 🥲
This year imo so far better than last year as song goes anyways heres mine. 14.Donna(2/10)-soo not for mee eehhh its meh vocals ok tho 13.Bane(2/10)-idl phonk tbh im sorry its ok 12.Purpose(2/10)-sooo bland but not bad 11.Want it all(3.9/10)-the super messsy drop ruined it 10.Soundclash(4/10)-omg this is sooo messsy and crashy 9.Stuck(5/10)-too messy for me for some reason 8.Pushing On-(6/10)-Its ok the drop is abit too messy for me tho 7.Red Lights-(6/10)-Surprise its not bad good vocals and decent 6.Back and forth-(6/10)-Grew off me sorry maybe will come back soon good song tho i love the drop 5.Never knew Me(7/10)-its Good i dont really like phonk but this is good for me so i like the vocals decent drop 4.Will you come(7/10)-Very repeative but good 3.Feel like(7/10)-Good techno 2.Fade(8/10)-Very catchy i love it 1.Comet(9/10)-As expected this is #1 The melody is Great amazing vocals and good drop Month Score : ( 6.3/10 ) Bruh weaker than April not bad tho better than January still.
Pretty mediocre month, ngl (especially the garage songs) Best: same top 3 (since NCS's short abt some songs that were coming out this month, I already could tell that Comet was going to be phenomenal) and Fade Worst: Donna, Red Lights and Purpose
14. i love that tinkery melody, and the drops are bouncy, not too bad from Emin. 13. Decent, im a fan of this kind of garage 12. Really nice, super relaxing and nice. 11. Its just kind of a clunky track, not the kind of phonk subgenre id select. 10. mid imo 9. Yeah, really not my thing, extremely devoid of any substance in the production, and poppy vocals dont affect me whatsoever, i know they can do so much better 8. Hell yeah, MANSHN being a mastermind as always, great track with good theming. (2#) 7. All three jump-up tracks this year from him are bangers, this is no exception. (3#) 6. This slaps too, Ripple gud. 5. my least favorite this month, not a fan of this. 4. Disappointing from RIOT, not my thing either. 3. Actually really well-made pop here. I really like the quality brought up here. 2. worst Rameses B track this year, not bad at all tho. 1. Same 1# ofc, awesome track. (1#) can we pls go back to 2021-2022 level consistency pls :(.

4:05 Veela returned to ncs after 11 years not 7
In his defense, it’s pretty hard to believe that 2013 was 11 years ago
Man.. that hit me like a truck on the highway 😭
I still think 2013 was 9 years ago@@CriticalVolmet
sometimes i think of 2016 as 4 years ago
Great pick for 1st place and I really like the opinions and reasonings as per usual
Great vid!

Wow, pixelated definitely didn’t like this month lol , only 1 song is above 90
Because his average score is 50/100
my average score is 50 so yeah :)
Your Last Is My First
Comet is too overloved so i dont like it
I respect your opinion!
