Ar Tonelico II - The Heart Speaks / Tale of the Heart Nominated by: dowolf Have I heard it before? No https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xk0bNMidCI Pretty, in a sad and somber way. Im able to respect it as a work, but I cant say its especially gripping. Haunting, perhaps, but not in a way that makes me compelled to listen to it, enraptured, which is what this kind of piece is striving for. Theres also a couple spots here and there where I feel like the vocals missed the mark a bit. 83. Ar Tonelico II EXEC_with.METHOD_METAFALICA Nominated by: dowolf Have I heard it before? Based on the title, I would have said yes, but this is not the track I know. So, no. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHmBtQd4TC0 Ar Tonelico hymns are such a mixed bag. Some are fantastic, like SPHILIA. Some give you a nervous breakdown, like DESPEDIA. And some are just schizophrenic. Enter this piece. And thats without considering that it plays like a medley. (Is it? I dont know the AT2 OST well enough to know, but theres nothing I recognize.) One thing I can certainly say is that w/Metafalica is not boring. [i]Something[/i] is always happening. And in a vacuum, the composition and production quality is the same consistent excellence Ive come to expect from Gust. There are some screechy vocals, which is par for the course with hymns. However, the main thing to me is that there isnt a single part of the work I especially love, and theres not really any cohesion to the piece. This is why many people dislike medleys it really depends on you knowing the material that the piece comprises. So ultimately, while I recognize that each sub-section of the track is put together well, and the entire invented language of Hymmnos is always impressive to see in action (even if I dont have a clue what it means even after translated,) I just dont have anything to latch onto and say I like this because of ____. Unfortunately, that isnt because I [i]cant express[/i] why I like it. I simply dont. --- http://imgur.com/ekqlssN <cite>azuarc posted [p:889117965] in azuarc ran...
