Normally I'd try to pretend I don't love this game or make an attempt to be objective, but I'm in the mood to be way too honest and not care what rational people think.

First off, Sonic 2006 is just furry Chrono Trigger and I love that.

Mephiles is one of my favorite characters of all time. The entire concept of "Mephiles is the dark version of Shadow who was the dark version of Sonic" is just so... so wonderful. Like, I have a massive bias in favor of the ole 'like main character but darker' archetype & applying that someone who was already that achetype creates something that basically could not appeal to me more than it does. A fragment of a God manifesting as a crystalline hedgehog of darkness? I love this.

Honestly, Shadow's portion of the game is probably one of my favorite sections of any game ever. Unfortunately, Sonic's section drags things down considerably. And Silver... exists, I at least like the concept of what they were going for, even if they kinda botch almost everything about it.

Sonic's Story: 3.5
Shadow's Story: 10
Silver's Story: ...Probably around a 6, if I'm being honest about how I feel towards it.

Which I'm going to say works out to "close enough to a 7". Objectively, I should average the final score to 6.5, but I'm not going to.

...of course the gameplay itself is terrible (especially Sonic's sections), but thankfully I don't have to factor gameplay into any of this.

I would have supported any album by the band and, having not heard either album, would not have a frame of reference to know the difference anyway. So, I'm fine with the album being switched.

Super Robot Wars 30: Whichever version comes with the DLC but not the extra music.

Looks like it's getting a worldwide release on Steam, somehow, and if my favorite franchise is going to be available without importing for the first* time then I feel obligated to buy it immediately. I figure I was planning on paying that much for the base game after import costs anyway.

*Yeah, a few of the Original Generation games came out officially, but 30 would be the first big licensed title.

This is the most bizarre ranking in the topic. I can't help but think you confused it with something else! Even if you like the characters involved, I can't grasp putting it ahead of Right Hand Man, Stay Alive, and Ten Duel Commandments.

Well, my tastes tend to be incompatible with everything, so if you ever agree with me on anything you can safely dismiss it as atmospheric noise. That being said, I do have reasons:

1: I can be easily manipulated by songs with certain low tones, for want of a better description. That low, thumping heartbeat sound is pure heaven to me--you can try arguing I can't give a song incredibly high scores based purely on being in love with a specific note, but just watch me do it anyway.

I've yet to find a better descriptor of what triggers that reaction in me or how to describe it--Kendrick Lamar's ADHD & Carly Rae's Run Away With Me also trigger it--but once it hits me, the song is basically guaranteed to get at least a 9 from me.

2: I also enjoy songs with a fun amount of anger. The argument between Hamilton & Washington is the fun type--neither of them is trying to kill the other, it's not overly vulgar, it's just very tense and I still get chills from the song even after listening to the album far too many times in one week.

3: I also like songs that don't overstay their welcome. This song is short, but it accomplishes everything it needs. In under two minutes we get Washington's reaction to the duel, a fight between him and Hamilton, some plot advancement with the latter being sent home, all while perfectly embodying a specific emotion & quite literally hitting the right notes for me.

It is one of the most "me" songs imaginable and is always near the top of my lists as one of the absolute greatest songs in this entire topic series. That it somehow didn't get first from me is a testament to how fantastic to the album truly is.

Too many good songs. Listened to this five times and my list has been almost completely different each time--my number one song us constant and the bottom six songs are always the bottom six, but besides that? I think everything in the top 32 has been near the top of the list at some point, but I have to stop eventually. I need a break, so this version of the list shall have to suffice.
