The percussion does the heavy lifting for me, a winning combination of industrial and tribal. Theres also some nice acoustic guitar. Pretty neat! 214/4303 @paulg235 Civilization VI - Georgia Theme (The Atomic Era) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPGLgjdWm2Q Another this is cool but isnt really for me song. I appreciate the layered singing and the bombastic symphony mixed with softer, more melodic passages. Its not normally my kind of music but I found it somewhat pleasantly unpredictable. According to the description the song is based on two hymns, but its clear the composer made the song their own. 213/4298 @-hotdogturtle-- Hypnospace Outlaw - Confuzed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ7uouRHH3U I cant get into this soundtrack. Every song Ive heard has fallen flat for me. I get what its going for but I just dont find it engaging. Confuzed is almost certainly my favorite song Ive heard from it; I like the synth groove and the beat is great and the bubbles effects are trippy, but it doesnt really do much other than that for four minutes. Theres stuff to like here but it still misses the mark, which is a shame because I love when songs take risks like Hypnospace does. 212/4291 paulg235 Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - It Has To Be This Way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYAPgPH9hsI Oops double drop, sorry. On paper this seems like a song I would normally despise: an energetic, guitar-heavy rock song with earnest lyrics. However, I kind of like it! The muddy production actually works in its favor as all the elements of the song blur together in a fast-paced audio slurry. I dont think Id like this as much with clearer audio quality. (I know, I probably criticized a few songs earlier for having poor production. I am large; I contain multitudes.) This is so cheesy and over the top but I actually kind of like it. 211/4279 @Xtlm Bottom of the 9th (PC) - Credits and Theme Song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdePEXhRzKk Oh hey I didnt know Morrissey recorded VGM. (Its not just me, right?) Some nice barbershop harmony here. This is one of the nominations thats so unlike everything else nommed. I didnt know I needed barbershop baseball VGM, but here we are. Sadly I dont rank it any higher because I dont actually want to ever listen to it again, but its a really neat find! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
