90. Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Winning Road (Roy's Hope)
Nominated by: SuperAngelo
I love FE6 to death, but it really doesn't have good music, and Brawl didn't really fix that. This is a very middling track that I find myself turning against as it goes on just because I wish it would do something interesting auuuugh. It's supposed to sound heroic and all, but it's a very manufactured kind of heroic that ends up leaving me feeling... nothing at all.
89. Sengoku Rance - Rebirth the Edge
Nominated by: agesboy
...One of several pieces that ended up ranking fairly low just because I tend to prefer simpler, quieter music. >_>; For me, Rebirth the Edge just ends up being chaotic and difficult to listen to. I wish there were more sections like 2:05 through 2:13 because that would break the piece up and make it much more my speed. Also not really sure what's up with the two minutes of silence at the end? I assume that isn't supposed to be there so I didn't really factor it into the ranking.
88. RosenkreuzStilette - Last Battle
Nominated by: FL81
Yeah... This is just not doing it for me. I really don't have many criticisms of it except that it's not my kind of music at all. It has a few neat sections, but overall isn't something I want to listen to again. ...I should probably also mention that I generally don't like battle music, so it doesn't really surprise me that I'm not a big fan of this.
87. Phantasy Star II - Under
Nominated by: azuarc
Another victim of the "just sort of unexceptional" criticism. It's... okay. The kind of music that I'd hear during a game and not really think about while playing the game, and then forget about immediately after it stops playing. Which unfortunately leaves me without very much to say. <_<
86. Castle Crashers - Stage Cleared/The Race Around the World
Nominated by: SSBDarren64
What I've heard of Castle Crashers' soundtrack has been VERY hit and miss. Winterbliss? Big hit. Race Around the World? ...not so much. Even then, though, Race Around the World is, itself, kind of hit and miss. I like almost all of it, to a degree, except for that banjo(?) section, which I can't bring myself to not really hate. Part of that is that I don't think it fits with the rest of the piece, but a bigger issue is that it's just sort of obnoxious. No offense meant to banjos in general though. (Well, some offense.)
(with apologies to agesboy and FL81)
