(Kenri) Haha, what is this. I feel like if I stumbled on this on the radio, I would listen to it and then later feel deep shame for having listened to it. I don't know. It's catchy but I can't shake the feeling that I don't like it despite that.
(TheArkOfTurus) Wasn't expecting to run into a Blind Guardian song. Guilty pleasure band of mine. Definitely don't have to feel guilty about it ranking below the terrible bottom 3, though!

(xp1337) I suppose I was pleasantly surprised by this, to begin with I was getting a bad feeling out of this, but it pulls itself together well enough. Well, enough to keep it from plummeting to the bottom/second-to-last.
I'm really surprised to see this one last so long. I do like me some progressive power metal, but I didn't think there would be many like-minded individuals. This song's kinda neat because while there have been a few other occasions where a "real" artist has been commissioned to write a song for a game, I'm not aware of any other occasions where the band actually makes an out-of-character appearance IN the game, and has a full-length FMV to go with it. Yet German-based Ascaron contacted German band Blind Guardian and had them write a song for the game, and then out of thanks made a quest where the player has to help the members of the band recover their stolen instruments in time for a show at some village. The musicians even accompany you during the quest, and then you can see what your quest reward is.

(Drakeryn) 4.5/10
(NioraptH) T___T so sad and so T_T and like T_T and LET'S GUITAR and T____T
(MycroProcessor) THIS ONE IS NOT AS COOL AS UNder sea palance | but it has some GREAT intense sections that are dESTINY _ and I enjoy the slow 6/8ishness (...sic)
(Ed Bellis) goddamn dynasty warriors music
(xp1337) This is good.
It may not be the wailing guitars Dynasty Warriors is known for, but I really like this piece. The piano intro sets the tenor nicely, and then when we do get a guitar, it sits on top of the backing we get perfectly to add to the emotion. Or at least that's my take. The video also gets a little help from TJF, I guess, although it's not a very good picture of Wang Yi.

(FL81) meh
You guys don't have much to say about this one, and I really don't either. Surprisingly I've never played Tomb Raider. (I mentioned earlier I never had a PS1. I suppose I could have gotten the PC version.)
49. The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind - Main Theme
Score: 18/30
Azuarc's Ranking: 77
Comments:
(xp1337) Skyrim's theme is way superior. Morrowind's is just kind of there. I mean, I suppose that's not necessarily bad, but it also isn't necessarily good.
I really like this song, but it's mostly a matter of nostalgia. Taken out of context, it's just kinda there. I'm really not a huge fan of Jeremy Soule in general, so without the sentimentality that goes with the song, it doesn't do a great deal for me.
