Villainy: 4
Characterization: 8
Melody: 7
Total: 19/30

Any issue I had with the previous Mega Man fan songs (gotta say I'm surprised how many got nominated), The Hounds does everything better. First off, the song is catchy as hell. Sure, it doesn't sound like it's Dr. Wily singing, but I'm more than willing to forgive that given that the vocals here are slick, stylish and fit the mood the song is going for. Where this song shines the most though is showing off Wily's deviousness and his skill at manipulating people. The story here is all about Dr. Wily trying to shine a light (sorry) on Dr. Light's apparent misdeeds while applauding his own accomplishment, turning the media and the public against Dr. Light. The lyrics here are just really damn clever, and I'm tempted to actually go listen to the full album, despite never playing the Mega Man games. The only thing holding it back is its villainy, which is hard to knock against it. Taken objectively on it's own, the song is devious but not straight evil; it needs the context of the full situation to really appreciate how dastardly the situation is.
