The pieces are always too tranquil for me. Maybe you have to have played the game, I dunno. I always facepalm whenever I get linked to Apotheosis or whatever the other big songs from that are. I know there are people who [b]LOVE[/b] Journeys soundtrack, and I can respect that it does what it does well. I just dont like what it does. And every single piece is the goddamn same thing. Soft strings, adagio tempo, ghostly vocals, and matching chord structures. One song like this in a game is okay as a change of pace, but its every song. And this style only works if its powerful. Ive yet to hear a powerful track from Wintory, and I Was Born For This is no exception. At least using a song like this for an ending is excusable. 81. Persona 4 Never More Nominated by: Raka_Putra Have I heard it before? Yes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXYdgfXyYqs Ive never understood the love for Persona music, and weve got a lot of it on this list. I have to wonder if the people who nominated the endings to P3, P4, P5, and two spin-offs were unaware of my disposition or decided to toss those in here in spite of it. Unfortunately, a lot of it came from back-to-back posters, so it glutted up a lot of listening time when I went straight through the list. As a result, by the time I got to Never More, I was in Oh God, more Persona? mode. I dont feel as if NM really ever does anything interesting, and unlike some of the other P tracks nominated, the drums are just a little too sharp for my liking. They stand out to me right away, and continue to do so over the almost seven minutes that Never More occupies my listening time. If I was so inclined, maybe I could read the lyrics on the video as it went and have something nice to say about how great they are, but that would require replaying it, and doing nothing but watching. Im just not up for that kind of investment. --- http://imgur.com/ekqlssN <cite>azuarc posted [p:889118011] in azuarc ran... [t:75912872]...</cite> <quote>82.
