70. Warblade - In-Game Music
Nominated by: JONALEON
So this is pretty interesting. I like a lot of what it does; especially like that section from 1:50 to 2:02. At the same time it doesn't overly impress me; at best it has a few sections where I stop and go "okay, that was neat". Don't have very many criticisms here, but I think part of that is because it doesn't take very many risks.
69. Mr Driller Soundtracks - Georian *Solar Eclipse Mix*
Nominated by: NioraptH
Another hard one for me to rank. I like what it does, but at the same time I really want it to be better. At around 2 minutes it's not unreasonably short but it still feels like it barely got started by the time it's over. I do like that woodwind instrument though.
68. Great Gatsby, The - Martini Rag
Nominated by: Kamekguy
That is some ****ing awesome artwork in the video there. Just sayin'. It doesn't affect the ranking at all but people need to know. ****ing awesome. Incidentally, I think that boss is about as far as I got in the game before trying to play on a keyboard got the better of me...
Oh right, I'm supposed to talk about music here... Martini Rag is a very smooth sounding chiptune, which is I guess appropriate to its name. That said, it's waaaay too short (I think a single loop is only like 30 seconds long?) and even disregarding that, all I really think about it is "oh, this is neat. ...next." No staying power, is I guess what I'm getting at.
67. Bomberman 64: The Second Attack - Warship Noah
Nominated by: Epyon
Warship Noah is legitimately pretty cool (in addition to having a cool name). It starts out sort of "whatever" but I like how it builds in intensity. That said I do feel like it's extremely repetitive. ...And that's all I have to say about this.
66. Xenoblade - Unfinished Battle
Nominated by: Orochimaru_Fan
It's called Unfinished Battle because everyone keeps running away from battle to make this song stop playing lolololo [/joke that i think i've used like four times now in reference to this song]
So Unfinished Battle. I'm not a big fan of it and I have no idea why because it's the type of music I generally like. I think part of it is that after you've heard 20 seconds of it, you've pretty much heard the entire thing... or at least I feel that way, I'm sure someone could offer a very thorough analysis of why I'm completely wrong about that. Anyway, my point is that it's... not even repetitive, just stagnant. However those 20 seconds of it are pretty cool so it ends up placing decently anyway.
