Me and My Little War
Mazes 31-35
Can You Feel the Sunshine?

There's something about Life Returns that seems disjointed from the franchise it apparently comes from, this sounds straight out of Nier/Drakengard instead. This does go in an interesting direction with the strings and vocals, I might like this more in the future but as is it's a decent somber-toned song.

I like how bouncy the synths and piano in Me and My Little War sound, they give off that innocent, playful feel that I really enjoy hearing. I kinda wish the melody went in a crazier direction, but on the other hand I sort of respect the "restraint" it has on its instruments, it keeps things simple and enjoyable enough for me.

I wish the volume for Freddi Fish was better, but from what I can hear this is a good upbeat lounge song with a piano taking the lead for it; it's surprisingly good and it makes me want more from it!

I've always appreciated how confident and stylish Bayonetta battle themes had made themselves out to be. Let's Dance is no different, but it certainly doesn't hit as hard as the other well-known themes in the series for me. That sax is certainly carrying the song, I wish the other instruments were just as confident and loud-sounding like it.

Can You Feel the Sunshine is not my top favorite from Sonic R, but it's certainly my first time learning about the magnificent TJ Davis and the work she helped make. A song this happy and catchy gets a LOT of points in my book, everything here just works really good. And what is up with that crazy section around 3:15? Like, damn Richard Jacques!

When it comes to rhythm songs, I've noticed that it can be easy to fall into the trap of overusing the drums or adding some cool synth that ends up working against the flow of the song. Thankfully for Misogi, it only teeters the line for the drums but doesn't go past it; you're left with a song that's exciting and always moves forward with the melody, sounding intense enough to get you hooked in.
